Pentecost
Acts 2: 1-11
When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. ‘Surely,’ they said, ‘all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya round Cyrene; residents of Rome—Jews and proselytes alike—Cretans and Arabs, we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.’
Psalm 104: 1, 24, 29-31, 34
Bless Yahweh, my soul,
Yahweh, my God, how great you are!
Clothed in majesty and splendour,How countless are your works, Yahweh,
all of them made so wisely!
The earth is full of your creatures.Turn away your face and they panic;
take back their breath and they die
and revert to dust.
Send out your breath and life begins;
you renew the face of the earth.Glory to Yahweh for ever!
May Yahweh find joy in his creatures!May my musings be pleasing to him,
for Yahweh gives me joy.
1 Corinthians 12: 3-7, 12-13
Because of that, I want to make it quite clear to you that no one who says ‘A curse on Jesus’ can be speaking in the Spirit of God, and nobody is able to say, ‘Jesus is Lord’ except in the Holy Spirit.
There are many different gifts, but it is always the same Spirit; there are many different ways of serving, but it is always the same Lord. There are many different forms of activity, but in everybody it is the same God who is at work in them all. The particular manifestation of the Spirit granted to each one is to be used for the general good.
For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts—all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body—so it is with Christ. We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink.
John 20: 19-23
In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, 'Peace be with you,' and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you.
'As the Father sent me,
so am I sending you.'After saying this he breathed on them and said:
Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone's sins,
they are forgiven;
if you retain anyone's sins,
they are retained.
From the Lectionary
Pentecost Sequence
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine!You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;In our Labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
And our inmost being fill!Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill!Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away;Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sev'nfold gift descend;Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.
Pentecost Sunday
May 31, 2009
HOMILY
– (Acts 2:1-11; 1 Cor 12:3b-7, 12-13; John 20:19-23) The feast of Pentecost is a very ancient feast that goes back 1000 years before Christ. It was one of the three most important Jewish feasts, and it is one of our three most important feasts. Originally it was a harvest feast. Gradually it came to be a celebration of God giving his Law to the Hebrews at Mt. Sinai and establishing them as his own special people. It was as the Jews were celebrating this feast that the Holy Spirit came upon the first believers in Christ. They were sent forth in power to all people to proclaim God’s saving love demonstrated in Jesus’ death and resurrection. As I was preparing what I was going to say today, I referred to a book I have, entitled I Believe in the Holy Spirit by the Dominican theologian Fr. Yves Congar. The book is almost 700 pages long. It impressed me how much could be said about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit. Just out of curiosity I investigated how often the Holy Spirit was mentioned in the New Testament and I came up with a total of 233 times. I’m not going to try to say it all, so relax! Reading sections of the book, though, makes me realize how fortunate I am that in my job I have the opportunity and the gift to be able to read and reflect on the profound mystery of God and his presence with us in Jesus through the Spirit. (And I receive a salary for doing this! Sometimes I feel guilty taking it for something I enjoy doing so much – but then again there are enough stresses at times that make me think I shouldn’t feel guilty about taking a salary.) I am grateful to be a priest and realize that I have been greatly blessed. It just so happens that 45 years ago today I was ordained. My sister Rita, who is also one of my most avid fans, decided to have a memorial card printed for my anniversary with a prayer for priests on the back of the card. I put some on the radiators in case anyone would want one.I would never have survived as long as I did without the help of God’s Holy Spirit. Most of the time I was not even aware that God’s Spirit was helping me. It’s somewhat like that story of the footprints in the sand. Only as I look back do I see the movement of the Spirit keeping me sane through difficult times, giving me ideas when I couldn’t think of the right thing to say, encouraging me when my situation was overwhelming, giving me courage when I was afraid, helping me to pray when my spiritual life seemed to go dry, giving me peace when I lacked it. No wonder Jesus calls the Spirit the “Paraclete,” a word which is hard to translate but which means something like: “advocate, mediator, helper, intercessor or comforter.”
Many of us probably remember from catechism class naming the fruits of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. The fruits of the Spirit we hear about in the letter to the Galatians (second reading on Pentecost). They tend to be personal qualities such as love, joy, peace, patience, (kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, selfcontrol).
The gifts of the Spirit include some personal talents but they tend to be more oriented toward building up the community of believers such as the gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, fear of the Lord, as well as the gifts of healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment of spirit, speaking or praying in tongues, interpretation of tongues, teaching, pastoring, and a whole lot of other ways to help us in our ministry to one another. In speaking of the gifts, we cannot forget the greatest of the Spirit’s gifts which we often hear about at a wedding. St. Paul tells us the greatest of all the Spirit’s gifts is love. St. Augustine, in trying to help us to know for sure whether the Spirit dwells in us, said: “Ask your inner self, if you are full of charity, you have the Spirit of God.” (
I Believe in the Holy Spirit, vol. 2, pg 82)It’s easy to focus on the activity of the Spirit in our personal lives as the Spirit comes to us through prayer and through the sacraments. But as we celebrate Pentecost, we cannot forget on that occasion the Spirit was given to the Church to guide and direct it and to help it to grow. The Spirit came to the Apostles (and perhaps the other 120 members of the early community of believers) not just for their personal enrichment, but to send them out to all people to proclaim God’s love shown to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus. It remains our task as Church today, as a community of believers to proclaim God’s love. We do this as we gather here in faith right now, but we must also share that love and mystery with others to the extent that we are able.
Jesus encouraged us in St. Luke’s gospel to pray for the Spirit when he said: “What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the holy spirit to those who ask him?” (Lk. 11:11-12) Amen.
Holy Spirit Novena
DAILY NOVENA PRAYERS
Opening Prayer
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.
Prayer for Holy Spirit
We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.
Protection by the Blood of Jesus
We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.
Healing
We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.
Prayer for Strength and Light
We adore You, oh Holy Spirit. Give us strength, give us light, console us. We give ourselves entirely to You. Oh Spirit of light and grace, we want to only do the will of the Father. Enlighten us that we may live always in the Father's will.
Eternal Spirit fill us with Your Divine Wisdom that we may comprehend more fully insight into Your Divine Mysteries.
Give us lights, Oh Holy Spirit that we may know God. Work within the heart, the spiritual womb of the Virgin Mary, to form us more and more into the image of Jesus.
Prayer to Be One with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
We long for You, Oh Spirit of Light, we long to know God, we want to be one with Him, our Divine God. We want to be one with the Father, know Him as a Person most intimately. We want to know the beloved One, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and live and dwell in Him at all times, every moment of our lives. We want to be one with You, Oh Spirit of Light, that You move in us in our every breath.
Prayer to Be One in Jesus
Let us experience life in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so we can say as Saint Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...." Let us live, united to the Mass, all through the day being one in Him. Let us be able to love and know in this elevated state of oneness with our God. We long for Thee, oh beauteous God, we love You, we love You, we love You. We praise You, worship You, honor You, adore You, and thank You, our beloved God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Prayer to Dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
We seek to be one in God, to live and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth, to experience life in the all perfect, pure, sinless heart of our Mother. We want the Holy Spirit to move in us and to be united to Jesus as the Bridegroom of our souls and be a most perfect sacrifice offered to the Father at every moment as we unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass around the world to help in the salvation of souls.
Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts
Come Holy Spirit, come, come into our hearts, inflame all people with the fire of Your love.

Dear Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You soul and body. We ask You to give us the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.
Prayer for the Word Alive in Our Hearts
We know, dear Holy Spirit, the Word in His human nature was brought forth within the womb of the woman. We pray that His word will be brought forth in our hearts as He lives and dwells in us. We want the incarnation to go on in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.
Little Prayers to the Holy Spirit
Dear Holy Spirit, help us not to be ignorant or indifferent or weak, help us to be strong with the love of God.
Dear Holy Spirit, please pray for our needs for us.
Dear Holy Spirit, help us to respect God and to avoid sin. Help us to live in the Father's will.

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately.

I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Meditations Nine Days
- Romans 8:14-17
All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.- Romans 8:5-9
Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.- 1 John 4:12-16
No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his love comes to its perfection in us. This is the proof that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us a share in his Spirit. We ourselves have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world. Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God. We have recognised for ourselves, and put our faith in, the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.- 1 John 4:17-21
Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.- 1 John 4:7-11
My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love. This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might have life through him. Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate our sins. My dear friends, if God loved us so much, we too should love one another.- Acts of the Apostles 1:1-5
In my earlier work, Theophilus, I dealt with everything Jesus had done and taught from the beginning until the day he gave his instructions to the apostles he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. He had shown himself alive to them after his Passion by many demonstrations: for forty days he had continued to appear to them and tell them about the kingdom of God. While at table with them, he had told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Father had promised. 'It is', he had said, 'what you have heard me speak about: John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.'- Acts of the Apostles 1:6-9
Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'
As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.- Acts of the Apostles 1:12-14
So from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, they went back to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a Sabbath walk; and when they reached the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James. With one heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
- Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4
When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

- John 14:21-31
Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I shall love him and reveal myself to him.'
Judas-not Judas Iscariot-said to him, 'Lord, what has happened, that you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?' Jesus replied:
Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him. Anyone who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not my own: it is the word of the Father who sent me. I have said these things to you while still with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said to you. Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me say: I am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe. I shall not talk to you much longer, because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me, but the world must recognise that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded. Come now, let us go.- John 17:11-26
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us. While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched over them and not one is lost except one who was destined to be lost, and this was to fulfil the scriptures. But now I am coming to you and I say these things in the world to share my joy with them to the full. I passed your word on to them, and the world hated them, because they belong to the world no more than I belong to the world. I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth. I pray not only for these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in me. May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me. I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognise that it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see my glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Father, Upright One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. I have made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.- I Corinthians 15:20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.- Revelation 3:1-3,12,16-19
'Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, "Here is the message of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know about your behaviour: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead. Wake up; put some resolve into what little vigour you have left: it is dying fast. So far I have failed to notice anything in your behaviour that my God could possibly call perfect; remember how you first heard the message. Hold on to that. Repent! If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, and you will have no idea at what hour I shall come upon you.
Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.
'...but since you are neither hot nor cold, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. You say to yourself: I am rich, I have made a fortune and have everything I want, never realising that you are wretchedly and pitiably poor, and blind and naked too. I warn you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you truly rich, and white robes to clothe you and hide your shameful nakedness, and ointment to put on your eyes to enable you to see. I reprove and train those whom I love: so repent in real earnest.'- Revelation 5:9-14
They sang a new hymn: You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals, because you were sacrificed, and with your blood you bought people for God of every race, language, people and nation and made them a line of kings and priests for God, to rule the world.
In my vision, I heard the sound of an immense number of angels gathered round the throne and the living creatures and the elders; there were ten thousand times ten thousand of them and thousands upon thousands, loudly chanting:Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.
Then I heard all the living things in creation-everything that lives in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, crying:
To the One seated on the throne and to the Lamb, be all praise, honour, glory and power, for ever and ever.
And the four living creatures said, 'Amen'; and the elders prostrated themselves to worship.
- Revelation 7:14-17
I answered him, 'You can tell me, sir.' Then he said, 'These are the people who have been through the great trial; they have washed their robes white again in the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are standing in front of God's throne and serving him day and night in his sanctuary; and the One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will never hunger or thirst again; sun and scorching wind will never plague them, because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.'- Revelation 12:1-8
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.
And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven.- Revelation 14:1-7
Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and forty-four thousand people, all with his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of the ocean or the roar of thunder; it was like the sound of harpists playing their harps. There before the throne they were singing a new hymn in the presence of the four living creatures and the elders, a hymn that could be learnt only by the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the world. These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been defiled with women they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they, out of all people, have been redeemed to be the first-fruits for God and for the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.
Then I saw another angel, flying high overhead, sent to announce the gospel of eternity to all who live on the earth, every nation, race, language and tribe. He was calling, 'Fear God and glorify him, because the time has come for him to sit in judgement; worship the maker of heaven and earth and sea and the springs of water.'
Revelation 19: 7-8
let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.'- Revelation 21:1-10
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'
One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.' In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.
Revelation 22:20
The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon.
Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

Première semaine
Méditations - Neuf jours
Romains 8, 14-17
Tous ceux qui sont conduits par l’Esprit de Dieu sont enfants de Dieu. Car l’Esprit que vous avez reçu n’est pas un esprit qui vous rende esclaves et vous remplisse encore de peur; mais c’est l’Esprit Saint qui fait de vous des enfants de Dieu et qui nous permet de crier à Dieu: "Mon Père". L’Esprit de Dieu atteste lui-même à notre esprit que nous sommes enfants de Dieu. Nous sommes ses enfants, donc nous aurons aussi part aux biens que Dieu a promis à son peuple, nous y aurons part avec le Christ; car si nous souffrons avec lui, nous serons aussi avec lui dans sa gloire.Romains 8, 5-9
Ceux qui vivent selon leur propre nature se préoccupent de leurs désirs; mais ceux qui vivent selon l’Esprit Saint se préoccupent des désirs de l’Esprit. Se préoccuper des désirs de sa propre nature mène à la mort; mais se préoccuper des désirs de l’Esprit Saint mène à la vie et à la paix. Ceux qui sont dominés par les préoccupations de leur propre nature sont ennemis de Dieu; ils ne se soumettent pas à la loi de Dieu, il ne le peuvent même pas. Ceux qui dépendent de leur propre nature ne peuvent pas plaire à Dieu. Mais vous; vous ne vivez pas selon votre propre nature, vous vivez selon l’Esprit Saint, puisque l’Esprit de Dieu habite en vous. Celui qui n’a pas l’Esprit du Christ ne lui appartient pas.1 Jean 4, 12-16
Personne n’a jamais vu Dieu. Or, si nous nous aimons les uns les autres, Dieu demeure en nous et son amour se manifeste parfaitement en nous. Voici comment nous savons que nous demeurons unis à Dieu et qu’il demeure en nous: il nous a donné son Esprit. Et nous avons vu et nous témoignons que le Père a envoyé son Fils pour être le Sauveur du monde. Si quelqu’un reconnaît que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu, Dieu demeure en lui et il demeure uni à Dieu. Et nous, nous savons et nous croyons que Dieu nous aime. Dieu est amour; celui qui demeure dans l’amour demeure uni à Dieu et Dieu demeure en lui.1 Jean 4, 17-21
Si l’amour est parfait en nous, alors nous serons pleins d’assurance au jour du Jugement, parce que notre vie dans ce monde est semblable à celle de Jésus-Christ. Il n’y a pas de crainte dans l’amour; l’amour parfait exclut la crainte. La crainte est lieé à l’attente d’un châtiment et, ainsi, celui qui craint ne connaît pas l’amour dans se perfection. Quant à nous, nous aimons parce que Dieu nous a aimés le premier. Si quelqu’un dit: "J’aime Dieu", et qu’il haïsse son frère, c’est un menteur. En effet, s’il n’aime pas son frère qu’il voit, il ne peut pas aimer Dieu qu’il ne voit pas. Voici donc le commandement que le Christ nous a donné: celui qui aime Dieu doit aussi aimer son frère.1 Jean 4, 7-11
Mes chers amis, aimons-nous les uns les autres, car l’amour vient de Dieu. Quiconque aime est enfant de Dieu et connaît Dieu. Celui qui n’aime pas ne connaît pas Dieu, car Dieu est amour. Voici comment Dieu a manifesté son amour pour nous: il a envoyé son Fils unique dans le monde, afin que nous ayons la vraie vie par lui. Et l’amour consiste en ceci: ce n’est pas nous qui avons aimé Dieu, mais c’est lui qui nous a aimés; il a envoyé son Fils qui s’est offert en sacrifice pour le pardon de nos péchés. Mes chers amis, si c’est ainsi que Dieu nous a aimés, nous devons, nous aussi, nous aimer les uns les autres.Les Actes des Apôtres 1, 1-5
Cher Théophile,
Dans mon premier livre j’ai raconté tout ce que Jésus a fait et enseigné dès le début jusqu’au jour où il fut enlevé au ciel. Avant d’y monter il donna ses instructions, par la puissance du Saint-Esprit, à ceux qu’il avait choisis comme apôtres. En effet, après sa mort, c’est à eux qu’il se montra en leur prouvant de bien des manières qu’il était vivant: pendant quarante jours, il leur apparut et leur parla du Royaume de Dieu. Un Jour qu’il prenait un repas avec eux, il leur donna cet ordre: "Ne vous éloignez pas de Jérusalem, mais attendez ce que le Père a promis, le don que je vous ai annoncé. Car Jean a baptisé avec de l’eau, mais vous, dans peu de jours, vous serez baptisés avec le Saint-Esprit."Les Actes des Apôtres 1, 6-9
Ceux qui étaient réunis auprès de Jésus lui demandèrent alors: "Seigneur, est-ce en ce temps-ci que tu rétabliras la royaume d’Israël?" Jésus leur répondit: "Il ne vous appartient pas de savoir quand viendront les temps et les moments, car le Père les a fixés de sa seule autorité. Mais vous recevrez une force quand le Saint-Esprit descendra sur vous. Vous serez alors mes témoins pour parler de moi à Jérusalem, dans toute la Judée et la Samarie, et jusqu’au bout du monde." Après ces paroles, Jésus s’éleva vers le ciel pendant que tous le regardaient; puis un nuage le cacha à leurs yeux.Les Actes des Apôtres 1, 12-14
Les apôtres retournèrent alors à Jérusalem depuis la colline qu’on appelle mont des Oliviers. Cette colline se trouve près de la ville, à environ une demi-heure de marche. Quand ils furent arrivés à Jérusalem, ils montèrent dans la chambre où ils se tenaient d’habitude, en haut d’une maison. Il y avait Pierre, Jean, Jacques et André, Philippe et Thomas, Barthélemy et Matthieu, Jacques le fils d’Alphée, Simon le nationaliste et Jude le fils de Jacques. Tous ensemble ils se réunissaient régulièrement pour prier, avec les femmes, avec Marie la mère de Jésus, et avec les frères de Jésus.Les Actes des Apôtres 2, 1-4
Quand le jour de la Pentecôte arriva, les croyants étaient réunis tous ensemble au même endroit. Tout à coup, un bruit vint du ciel, comme si un vent violent se mettait à souffler, et il remplit toute la maison oû ils étaient assis. Ils virent alors apparaître des langues pareilles à des flammes de feu; elles se séparènt et elles se posèrent une à une sur chacun d’eux. Ils furent tous remplis du Saint-Esprit et se mirent à parler en d’autres langues, selon ce que l’Esprit leur donnait d’exprimer.
Deuxième semaine
Méditations - Neuf jours
Jean 14, 21-31
"Celui qui retient mes commandements et leur obéit, voilà celui qui m’aime. Mon Père aimera celui qui m’aime; je l’aimerai aussi et me montrerai à lui". Jude (non pas Judas Iscariote) lui dit: "Seigneur, comment se fait-il que tu doives te montrer à nous et non au monde?"Jésus lui répondit: "Celui qui m’aime obéira à ce que je dis. Mon Père l’aimera: nous viendrons à lui, mon Père et moi, et nous habiterons chez lui. Celui qui ne m’aime pas n’obéit pas à mes paroles. Ce que vous m’entendez dire ne vient pas de moi, mais de mon Père qui m’a envoyé. Je vous ai dit cela pendant que je suis encore avec vous. Celui qui doit vous venir en aide, le Saint-Esprit que le Père enverra en mon nom, vous enseignera tout et vous rappellera tout ce que je vous ai dit.
"C’est la paix que je vous laisse, c’est ma paix que je vous donne. Je ne vous la donne pas à la manière du monde. Ne soyez pas inquiets, ne soyez pas effrayés. Vous m’avez entendu dire: "Je m’en vais, mais je reviendrai auprès de vous."
Si vous m’aimiez, vous vous réjouiriez de savoir que je vais auprès du Père, parce que le Père est plus grand que moi. Je vous l’ai dit maintenant, avant que ces choses arrivent, afin que lorsqu’elles arriveront vous croyiez. Je ne parlerai plus beaucoup avec vous, car le dominateur de ce monde vient. Il n’a aucun pouvoir sur moi, mais il faut que le monde sache que j’aime le Père et que j’agis comme le Père me l’a ordonné. Levez-vous, partons d’ici".
Jean 17, 11-26
Après avoir ainsi parlé, Jésus leva les yeux vers le ciel et dit: (...) "Je ne suis plus dans le monde, mais eux sont dans le monde; moi je vais à toi. Père saint, garde-les par ton divin pouvoir, celui que tu m’as donné, afin qu’ils soient un comme toi et moi nous sommes un. Pendant que j’étais avec eux, je les gardais par ton divin pouvoir celui que tu m’as accordé. Je les ai protégés et aucun d’eux ne s’est perdu, à part celui qui devait se perdre, pour que l’Ecriture se réalise. Et maintenant je vais à toi. Je parle ainsi pendant que je suis encore dans le monde, afin qu’ils aient en eux-mêmes ma joie, une joie complète. Je leur ai donné ta parole, et le monde les a haïs parce qu’ils n’appartiennent pas au monde, comme moi je n’appartiens pas au monde. Je ne te prie pas de les retirer du monde, mais de les garder du Mauvais. Ils n’appartiennent pas au monde, comme moi je n’appartiens pas au monde. Fais qu’ils soient entièrement à toi, par le moyen de la vérité; ta parole est la vérité. Je les ai envoyés dans le monde comme tu m’as envoyé dans le monde. Je m’offre entièrement à toi pour eux, afin qu’eux aussi soient vraiment à toi.Je ne prie pas seulement pour eux, mais aussi pour ceux qui croiront en moi grâce à leur message. Je prie pour que tous soient un. Père, qu’ils soient unis à nous, comme toi tu es uni à moi et moi à toi. Qu’ils soient un pour que le monde croie que tu m’as envoyé. Je leur ai donné la gloire que tu m’as donnée, pour qu’ils soient un comme toi et moi nous sommes un. Je vis en eux; tu vis en moi, c’est ainsi qu’ils pourront être parfaitement un, afin que le monde reconnaisse que tu m’as envoyé et que tu les aimes comme tu m’aimes.
Père, tu me les as donnés, et je désire qu’ils soient avec moi là où je suis, afin qu’ils voient ma gloire, la gloire que tu m’as donnée, parce que tu m’as aimé avant la création du monde. Père juste, le monde ne t’a pas connu; mais moi je t’ai connu et ceux-ci ont reconnu que tu m’as envoyé. Je t’ai fait connaître à eux et te ferai encore connaître, afin que l’amour que tu as pour moi soit en eux et que je sois moi-même en eux."
I Cor 15, 20-28
En réalité, le Christ est revenu d’entre les morts, en donnant ainsi la garantie que ceux qui sont morts ressusciteront également. Car, de même que la mort est venue par un homme, de même la résurrection des morts vient par un homme. Tous les hommes meurent parce qu’ils sont liés à Adam, de même tous recevront la vie parce qu’ils sont liés au Christ, mais chacun à son propre rang: le Christ le premier de tous, puis ceux qui appartiennent au Christ, au moment où il viendra. Ensuite arrivera la fin: le Christ détruira toute autorité, tout pouvoir et toute puissance spirituels, et il remettra le Royaume à Dieu le Père. Car il faut que le Christ règne jusqu’à ce que Dieu ait contraint tous les ennemis à passer sous ses pieds. Le dernier ennemi qui sera détruit, c’est la mort. En effet, il est écrit:"Dieu lui a tout mis sous les pieds." Mais il est clair que, dans cette phrase, le mot "tout" n’inclut pas Dieu, qui soumet toutes choses au Christ. Lorsque toutes choses auront été soumises au Christ, alors lui-même, le Fils, se soumettra à Dieu qui lui aura tout soumis; ainsi, Dieu régnera parfaitement sur tout.Apoc 3,1-3, 12, 16-19
"Ecris à l’ange de L’Eglise de Sardes:"Voici ce que déclare celui qui a les sept esprits de Dieu et les sept étoiles: Je connais ton activité; je sais que tu as la réputation d’être vivant, alors que tu es mort. Réveille-toi, affermis ce que tu as encore, avant que cela ne vienne à mourir complètement. Car j’ai remarqué qu’aucune de tes actions n’est parfaite aux yeux de Dieu. Rapelle-toi donc l’enseignement que tu as reçu et la façon dont tu l’as entendu; sois-lui fidèle et change de comportement. Si tu ne te réveilles pas, je viendrai te surprendre comme un voleur, sans que tu saches à quelle heure ce sera.
"De celui qui aura remporté la victoire, je ferai une colonne dans le temple de mon Dieu et il n’en sortira plus jamais. J’inscrirai sur lui le nom de mon Dieu et le nom de la ville de mon Dieu, la nouvelle Jérusalem qui descend du ciel, envoyée par mon Dieu. J’inscrirai aussi sur lui mon nom nouveau.
"Mais tu n’es ni bouillant ni froid, tu es tiède, de sorte que je vais te vomir de ma bouche. Tu dis: "Je suis riche et j’ai fait de bonnes affaires, je ne manque de rien". En fait, tu ne sais pas combien tu es malheureux et misérable. Tu es pauvre; nu et aveugle. C’est pourquoi je te conseille d’acheter chez moi de l’or purifié au feu, pour devenir réellement riche. Achète aussi des vêtements blancs pour t’en couvrir et n’avoir plus la honte de paraître nu, ainsi qu’un remède pour soigner tes yeux et leur rendre la vue. Je réprimande et corrige tous ceux que j’aime. Fais donc preuve de zèle et change de comportement."
Apoc 5, 9-14
Ils chantaient un chant nouveau: "Tu es digne de prendre le livre et d’en briser les sceaux. Car tu as été mis à mort et, par ton sacrifice, tu as acquis pour Dieu des gens de toute tribu, de toute langue, de tout peuple et de toute nation. Tu as fait d’eux un royaume de prêtres pour servir notre Dieu, et ils régneront sur la terre."
Je regardai encore et j’entendis une multitude d’anges: il y en avait des milliers, des dizaines de milliers. Ils se tenaient autour du trône, des êtres vivants et des anciens, et ils chantaient d’une voix forte:
"L’Agneau qui a été mis à mort est digne de recevoir la puissance, la richesse, la sagesse et la force, l’honneur, la gloire et la louange."
J’endendis aussi toutes les créatures dans le ciel, sur la terre, sous la terre et dans la mer--les créatures de l’univers entier--qui chantaient:
"A celui qui siège sur le trône et à l’Agneau soient la louange, l’honneur, la gloire et la puissance pour toujours."
Les quatre êtres vivants répondaient: "Amen." Et les anciens s’agenouillèrent et adorèrent.Apoc 7, 14-17
Je lui répondis: "C’est toi qui le sais, mon seigneur." Il me dit alors: "Ce sont ceux qui ont passé par la grande persécution. Ils ont lavé leurs robes et les ont blanchies dans le sang de l’Agneau. C’est pourquoi ils se tiennent devant le trône de Dieu et lui rende un culte nuit et jour dans son temple. Celui qui siège sur le trône les protégera. Ils n’auront plus jamais faim ni soif; ni le soleil, ni aucune chaleur torride ne les brûleront plus. Car l’Agneau qui est au milieu du trône sera leur berger et les conduira aux sources d’eau vive. Et Dieu essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux."Apoc 12, 1-8
Un grand signe apparut dans le ciel: une femme enveloppée du soleil, qui avait la lune sous les pieds et une couronne de douze étoiles sur la tête. Elle allait mettre au monde un enfant, et les peines de l’acouchement la faisaient crier de douleur.Un autre signe apparut dans le ciel; un énorme dragon rouge qui avait sept têtes et dix cornes, et une couronne sur chaque tête. Avec sa queue, il balaya le tiers des étoiles du ciel et les jeta sur la terre. Il se plaça devant la femme qui allait accoucher, afin de dévorer son enfant dès qu’il serait né. La femme mit au monde un fils, qui dirigera toutes les nations avec une autorité de fer. L’enfant fut aussitôt amené auprès de Dieu et de son trône. Quant à la femme, elle s’enfuit dans le désert, où Dieu lui avait préparé un place, pour qu’elle y soit nourrie pendant mille deux cent soixante jours.
Alors un bataille s’engagea dans le ciel. Michel et ses anges combatirent le dragon, et celui-ci se battit contre eux avec ses anges. Mais le dragon fut vaincu, et ses anges et lui n’eurent plus la possibil de rester dans le ciel.
Apoc 14:1-7
Je regardai encore: je vis l’Agneau qui se tenait sur le mont Sion et, avec lui, cent quarante-quatre mille personnes qui avaient son nom et le nom de son Père inscrits sur le front. J’entendis une voix qui venait du ciel et qui résonnait comme de grandes chutes d’eau, comme un fort coup de tonnerre. La voix que j’entendis était semblable au son produit par des harpistes, quand ils jouent leur instrument. Ces milliers de gens chantaient un chant nouveau devant le trône, devant les quatre êtres vivants et les anciens. Personne ne pouvait apprendre ce chant sinon les cent quarante-quatre mille qui ont été rachetés de la terre. Ceux-là ne se sont pas souillés avec des femmes, ils se sont gardés purs. Ils suivent l’Agneau partout où il va; ils ont été rachetés d’entre les humains pour être offerts les premiers à Dieu et à l’Agneau. Dans leur bouche, il n’y a jamais eu de place pour le mensonge; ils sont sans défaut.Puis je vis un autre ange qui volait très haut dans les airs; il avait un Bonne Nouvelle éternelle qu’il devait annoncer aux habitants de la terre, aux gens de toute nation, toute tribu, toute langue et tout peuple. Il disait d’une voix forte: "Soumettez-vous à Dieu et rendez-lui gloire. Car le moment est arrivé où il va juger l’humanité. Adorez celui qui a fait le ciel, la terre, la mer et les sources d’eau."
Apoc 19, 7-8
"...Réjouissons-nous et soyons heureux, rendons-lui gloire. Car le moment des noces de l’Agneau est arrivé, et son épouse s’est préparée. On lui a donné un vêtement fait d’un fin tissu de lin, brillant et pur." (Le tissu de lin represente les actions justes du peuple de Dieu.)
Apoc 21:1-10
Alors je vis un nouveau ciel et une nouvelle terre. Le premier ciel et la première terre avaient disparu, et il n’y avait plus de mer. Et je vis la ville sainte, la nouvelle Jérusalem, qui descendait du ciel, envoyée par Dieu, prête comme une épouse qui s’est faite belle pour aller à la rencontre de son mari. J’entendis une voix forte qui vennait du trône et disait: "Maintenant la demeure de Dieu est parmi les hommes! Il demeurera avec eux et ils seront ses peuples. Dieu lui-même sera avec eux et il sera leur Dieu. Il essuiera toute larme de leurs yeux. Il n’y aura plus de mort, il n’y aura plus ni deuil, ni lamentations, ni douleur. En effet, les choses anciennes auront disparu."Alors celui qui siège sur le trône déclara: "Maintenant, je fais toutes choses nouvelles." Puis il me dit: "Ecris ceci, car mes paroles sont vraies et dignes de confiance." Et il ajouta: "C’en est fait! Je suis l’Alpha et l’Oméga, le commencement et la fin. Celui qui a soif, je lui donnerai à boire gratuitement à la source de l’eau de la vie. Quiconque aura remporté la victoire recevra de moi ce don; je serai son Dieu, et il pera mon fils. Quant aux lâches, aux infidèles, aux êtres abominables, aux meurtriers, aux gens immoraux, à ceux qui pratiquent la magie, aux adorateurs d’idoles et à tous les menteurs, leur place sera dans le lac de soufre enflammé, qui est la seconde mort."
L’un des sept anges qui tenaient les sept coupes pleines des sept derniers fléaux vint me dire: "Viens et je te montrerai la mariée, l’épouse de l’Agneau." L’esprit se saisit de moi et l’ange me transporta au sommet d’une très haute montagne. Il me montra la ville sainte, Jérusalem, qui descendait du ciel, envoyée par Dieu.
Apoc 22, 20
Celui qui garantit la vérité de tout cela déclare: "Oui, je viens bientôt." Amen! Qu’il en soit ainsi! Viens, Seigneur Jésus!

Romanos 8:14-17
Todos aquellos a los que guía el Espíritu de Dios son hijos e hijas de Dios. Entonces no vuelvan al miedo; ustedes no recibieron un espíritu de esclavos, sino el espíritu propio de los hijos, que nos permite gritar: ¡Abba!, o sea: ¡Papá! El Espíritu asegura a nuestro espíritu que somos hijos de Dios. Siendo hijos, son también herederos; la herencia de Dios será nuestra y la compartiremos con Cristo. Y si hemos sufrido con él, estaremos con él también en la Gloria.
Romanos 8:5-9
Los que viven según la carne van a lo que es de la carne, y los que viven según el Espíritu van a las cosas del espíritu. Pero no hay sino muerte en lo que ansia la carne, mientras que el espíritu anhela vida y paz. Los proyectos de la carne están en contra de Dios, pues la carne no se somete a la ley de Dios, y ni siquiera puede someterse. Por eso los que viven según la carne no pueden agradar a Dios. Ustedes ya no están en la carne, sino que viven en el espíritu, pues el Espíritu de Dios habita en ustedes. Si alguno no tuviera el Espíritu de Cristo, éste no le pertenecería.
1 Juan 4:12-16
A Dios no lo ha visto nadie jamás; pero si nos amamos unos a otros, Dios está entre nosotros y su amor da todos sus frutos entre nosotros. Y ¿cómo sabemos que permanecemos en Dios y él en nosotros? Por que nos ha comunicado su Espíritu. Pero también hemos visto nosotros y declaramos que el Padre envió a su Hijo como Salvador de el mundo. Quien reconozca que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, Dios permanece en él y él en Dios. Por nuestra parte, hemos conocido el amor que Dios nos tiene, y hemos creído en él. Dios es amor: el que permanece en el amor permanece en Dios y Dios en él.
1 Juan 4:17-21
Cuando el amor alcanza en nosotros su perfección, miramos con confianza al día del juicio, porque ya somos en este mundo como es Él. En el amor no hay temor. El amor perfecto echa fuera el temor, pues hay temor donde hay castigo. Quien teme no conoce el amor perfecto. Amemos, pues, ya que él nos amó primero. Si uno dice {Yo amor a Dios}, y odia a su hermano, es un mentiroso. Si no ama a su hermano, a quien ve, no puede amar a Dios, a quien no ve. Pues éste es el mandamiento que recibimos de él; el que ama a Dios, ama también a su hermano.
1 Juan 4:7-11
Queridos míos, amémonos unos a otros, porque el amor viene de Dios. Todo el que ama ha nacido de Dios y conoce a Dios. El que no ama no ha conocido a Dios, pues Dios es amor. Miren cómo se manifestó el amor de Dios entre nosotros: Dios envió a su Hijo único a este mundo para que tengamos vida por medio de él. En esto está el amor: no es que nosotros hayamos amado a Dios, si no que él nos amo primero y envió a su Hijo como víctima por nuestros pecados. Queridos, si Dios nos amó de esta manera, también nosotros debemos amarnos mutuamente.
Hechos de los Apóstoles 1:1-5
En mi primer libro, querido Teófilo, hablé de todo lo que Jesús comenzó a hacer y enseñar. Al final del libro, Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, daba instrucciones a los apóstoles que había elegido y era llevado al cielo. De hecho, se presentó a ellos después de su pasión y les dio numerosas pruebas de que vivía. Durante cuarenta días se dejó ver por ellos y les habló del Reino de Dios. En una ocasión en que estaba reunido con ellos les dijo que no se alejaran de Jerusalén y que esperaran lo que el Padre había prometido. {Ya les hablé al respecto, les dijo: Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados en el Espíritu Santo dentro de pocos días.}
Hechos de los Apóstoles 1:6-9
Los que estaban presentes le preguntaron: {Señor, ¿es ahora cuando vas a restablecer el Reino de Israel?} Les respondió: {No les corresponde a ustedes conocer los plazos y los pasos que solamente el Padre tenía autoridad para decidir. Pero recibirán la fuerza del Espíritu Santo cuando venga sobre ustedes, y serán mis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaría y hasta los extremos de la tierra.} Dicho esto, Jesús fue levantado ante sus ojos y una nube lo ocultó de su vista. Ellos seguían mirando fijamente al cielo mientras se alejaba. Pero de repente vieron a su lado a dos hombres vestidos de blanco, que les dijeron: {Amigos galileos, ¿qué hacen ahí mirando al cielo? Este Jesús que les ha llevado volverá de la misma manera que ustedes lo han visto ir al cielo.}
Hechos de los Apóstoles 1:12-14
Entonces volvieron a Jerusalén desde el monte llamado de los Olivos, que dista de la ciudad como media hora de camino. Entraron en la ciudad y subieron a la habitación superior de la casa donde se alojaban. Allí estaba Pedro, Juan, Santiago y Andrés, Felipe y Tomás, Bartolomé y Mateo, Santiago, hijo de Alfeo, Simón el Zelotes, y Judas, hijo de Santiago. Todos ellos perseveraban juntos en la oración en compañía de algunas mujeres, de María, la madre de Jesús, y de sus hermanos.
Hechos de los Apóstoles 2:1-4
Cuando llegó el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos reunidos en el mismo lugar. De repente vino del cielo un ruido, como el de una violenta ráfaga de viento, que llenó toda la casa donde estaban, y aparecieron unas lenguas como de fuego que se repartieron y fueron posándose sobre cada uno de ellos. Todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les concedía que se expresaran.

Juan 14:21-31
El que guarda mis mandamientos después de recibirlos, ése es el que me ama. El que me ama a mi será amado por mi Padre, y yo también lo amaré y me manifestaré a él.}
Juda, no el Iscariote, le preguntó: {Señor, ¿por qué hablas de mostrarte a nosotros y no al mundo?}
Jesús le respondió: {Si alguien me ama, guardará mis palabras, y mi Padre lo amará. Entonces vendremos a él para poner nuestra morada en él.
El que no me ama no guarda mis palabras; pero el mensaje que escuchan no es mío, sino del Padre que me ha enviado.
Les he dicho todo esto mientras estaba con ustedes. En adelante el Espíritu Santo, el Intérprete que el Padre les va a enviar en mi Nombre, les enseñara todas las cosas y les recordará todo lo que yo les he dicho.
Les dejo la paz, les doy mi paz. La paz que yo les doy no es como la que da el mundo. Que no haya en ustedes angustia ni miedo. Saben que les dije: Me voy, pero volveré a ustedes. Si me amaran, se alegrarían de que me vaya al Padre, pues el Padre es más grande que yo.
Les he dicho estas cosas ahora, antes de qué sucedan, para que cuando sucedan ustedes crean. Ya no hablaré mucho más con ustedes, pues se está acercando el que gobierna este mundo. En mi no encontrará nada suyo, pero con esto sabrá el mundo que yo amo al Padre y que hago lo que el Padre me ha encomendado hacer. Ahora levántense y vayámonos de aquí.
Juan 17:11-26
Yo ya no estoy más en el mundo, pero ellos se quedan en el mundo, mientras yo vuelvo a ti. Padre Santo, guárdanos en ese Nombre tuyo que a mí me diste, para que sean uno como nosotros.
Cuando estaba con ellos, yo los cuidaba en tu Nombre, pues tú me los habías encomendado, y ninguno de ellos se perdió, excepto el que llevaba en sí la perdición, pues en esto había de cumplirse la Escritura. Pero ahora que voy a ti, y estando todavía en el mundo digo estas cosas para que tengan en ellos la plenitud de mi alegría.
Yo les he dado tu mensaje y el mundo los ha odiado porque no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo. No te pido que los saques del mundo, sino que los defiendas del Maligno. ellos no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
Conságralos mediante la verdad: tu palabra es verdad. Así como tú me has enviado al mundo, así yo también los envío al mundo; por ellos ofrezco el sacrificio, para que también ellos sean consagrados en la verdad.
No ruego sólo por éstos, sino también por todos aquellos que creerán en mi por su palabra. Que todos sean uno, como tú, Padre, estás en mi y yo en ti. Que ellos también sean uno en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me has enviado.
Yo les he dado la Gloria que tú me diste, para que sean uno como nosotros somos uno: yo en ellos y tú en mi. Así alcanzarán la perfección en la unidad, y el mundo conocerá que tú me has enviado y que yo los he amado a ellos como tú me amas a mi.
Padre, ya que me los has dado, quiero que estén conmigo donde yo estoy y que contemplen la Gloria que tú ya me das, porque me amabas antes que comenzara el mundo.
Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, pero yo te conocía, y éstos a su vez han conocido que tú me has enviado. Yo les he dado a conocer tu Nombre y se lo seguiré dando a conocer, para que el amor con que tú me amas esté en ellos y también yo esté en ellos.}
I Corintios 15:20-28
Pero no, Cristo resucitó de entre los muertos, siendo el primero y primicia de los que se durmieron.
Un hombre trajo la muerte, y un hombre también trae la resurrección de entre los muertos. Todos mueren por estar incluidos en Adán, y todos también recibirán la vida en Cristo.
Pero se respeta el lugar de cada uno: Cristo es primero, y más tarde les tocará a los suyos, cuando Cristo nos visite.
Luego llegará el fin. Cristo entregará a Dios Padre el Reino después de haber desarmado todas las estructuras, autoridades y fuerzas del universo. Está dicho que debe ejercer el poder hasta que haya puesto a todos sus enemigos bajo sus pies, y él ultimo de los enemigos sometidos será la muerte. Dios pondrá todas las cosas bajo sus pies. Todo le será sometido, pero es evidente que se excluye a Aquel que le somete el universo. Y cuando el universo le quede sometido, el Hijo se someterá a Aquel que le sometió todas las cosas, para que en adelante Dios sea todo en todos.
Apocalipsis 3:1-3,12,16-19
Escribe al ángel de la Iglesia de Sardes: Así habla el que tiene los siete espíritus de Dios y las siete estrellas:
Conozco tus obras; te creen vivo, pero estás muerto. Despiértate y reanima lo que todavía no ha muerto, pues tus obras me parecen muy mediocres a la luz de Dios. Recuerda lo que recibiste y oíste, ponlo en práctica y arrepiéntete. Por que si no te mantienes despierto vendré como un ladrón, sin que sepas a qué hora te sorprenderé.
Al vencedor lo pondré como columna en el Templo de mi Dios, de donde nadie lo sacará. Grabaré en él el nombre de mi Dios, el nombre de la ciudad que baja del cielo, la nueva Jerusalén que viene de Dios, y mi nombre nuevo.
Pero porque eres tibio y no frío o caliente, voy a vomitarte de mi boca.
Tu piensas: {Soy rico, tengo de todo, nada me falta}. Y no te das cuenta de que eres un infeliz, digno de compasión, pobre, ciego y desnudo. Te aconsejo que me compres oro refinado para que te hagas rico, ropas blancas para que te cubras y no tengas que avergonzarte de tu desnudez; por último pídeme un colirio que te pondrás en los ojos para ver. Yo reprendo y corrijo a los que amo. Vamos, anímate y conviértete.
Apocalipsis 5:9-14
Y cantaban este cántico nuevo:
Eres digno de tomar el libro
y de abrir sus sellos,
porque fuiste degollado
y con tu sangre compraste para
Dios
hombres de toda raza, lengua,
pueblo y nación .
Los hiciste reino y sacerdotes
para nuestro Dios,
y reinarán sobre la tierra.
Yo seguía mirando, y oí en el clamor
de una multitud de ángeles que estaban alrededor del trono, de los Seres
Vivientes y de los Ancianos, Eran millones, centenares de millones que
gritaban a toda voz:
Digno es el Cordero degollado
de recibir poder y riqueza,
sabiduría y fuerza,
honor, gloria y alabanza.
Y les respondían todas las criaturas
del cielo, de la tierra, del mar y del mundo de abajo. Oí que decían:
Al que está sentado en el trono y
al Cordero,
la alabanza, el honor, la gloria y el
poder
por los siglos de los siglos.
Y los cuatro Seres Vivientes decían {Amén}, mientras los Ancianos se postraban y adoraban.
Apocalipsis 7:14-17
Yo contesté: {Señor, tú lo sabes.} El Anciano me replicó: {Esos son los que vienen de la gran persecución; han lavado y blanqueado sus vestiduras con la sangre del Cordero. Por eso están ante el trono de Dios y le sirven día y noche en su templo; el que está sentado en el trono extenderá su tienda sobre ellos; ya no sufrirán más hambre ni sed ni se verán agobiados por el sol ni por viento abrasador alguno, porque el Cordero que está junto al trono será su pastor y los guiará a los manantiales de las aguas de la vida; y Dios enjugará las lágrimas de sus ojos.}
Apocalipsis 12:1-8
Apareció en el cielo una señal grandiosa: una mujer, vestida del sol, con la luna bajo sus pies y una corona de doce estrellas sobre su cabeza. Está embarazada y grita de dolor, porque le ha llegado la hora de lar a luz.
Apareció también otra señal: un enorme dragón rojo con siete cabezas y diez cuernos, y en las cabezas siete coronas; con su cola barre la tercera parte de las estrellas del cielo, precipitándolas sobre la tierra.
El dragón se detuvo delante de la mujer que iba a dar a luz para devorar a su hijo en cuanto naciera. Y la mujer dio a luz a un hijo varón, que ha de gobernar a todas las naciones con vara de hierro; pero su hijo fue arrebatado y llevado ante Dios y su trono, mientras la mujer huyó al desierto, donde tiene un lugar que Dios le ha preparado. Allí la alimentaran durante mil doscientos sesenta días.
Entonces se desató una batalla en el cielo: Miguel y sus ángeles combatieron contra el dragón. Lucharon el dragón y sus ángeles, pero no pudieron vencer, y ya no hubo lugar para ellos en el cielo.
Apocalipsis 14:1-7
Tuve otra visión: el Cordero estaba de pie sobre el monte Sión y lo rodeaban ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil personas que llevaban escrito en la frente el nombre del Cordero y el nombre de su Padre. Un ruido retumbaba en el cielo, parecido al estruendo de las olas o al fragor del trueno: era como un coro de cantores que se acompañan tocando sus arpas.
Cantan un cántico nuevo delante del trono y delante de los cuatro Vivientes y de los Ancianos. Y nadie podía aprender aquel canto, a excepción de los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil que han sido rescatados de la tierra. Estos son los que no se mancharon con mujeres: son vírgenes. Estos siguen al Cordero adondequiera que vaya; estos son como las primicias, pues han sido rescatados de entre los hombre para Dios y el Cordero. En su boca no se encontró mentira: son intachables.
Luego vi a otro ángel que volaba por lo alto del cielo, trayendo la buena nueva definitiva, la que tenía que anunciar a los habitantes de la tierra, a toda nación, raza, lengua y pueblo. Gritaba con fuerza:
Apocalipsis 19:7-8
Alegrémonos, regocijémonos
démosle honor y gloria,
porque han llegado las bodas del
Cordero.
Su esposa se ha engalanado,
la han vestido de lino fino,
deslumbrante de blancura
-el lino son las buenas acciones
de los santos-.
Apocalipsis 21:1-10
Después vi un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva, pies el primer cielo y la primera tierra habían desaparecido y el mar no existe ya. Y vi a la Ciudad Santa, la nueva Jerusalén, que bajaba del cielo, de junto a Dios, engalanada como una novia que se adorna para recibir a su esposo. Y oí una voz que clamaba desde el trono: {Esta es la morada de Dios con los hombres; él habitará en medio de ellos; ellos serán su pueblo y él sera Dios-con-ellos; él enjugará las lágrimas de sus ojos. Ya no habrá muerte ni lamento, ni llanto ni pena, pues todo lo anterior ha pasado.}
Y el que estaba sentado en el trono dijo: {Ahora todo lo hago nuevo}. Luego me dijo: {Escribe, que estas palabras son ciertas y verdaderas.} Y añadió: {Ya está hecho. Yo soy el Alfa y el Omega, el Principio y el Fin. Al que tenga sed yo le daré de beber gratuitamente del manantial del agua de la vida. Esta será la herencia del vencedor: Yo seré Dios para él y él será hijo para mi. Pero para los cobardes, los renegados, los corrompidos, los asesinos, los impuros, los hechiceros, los idólatras, en una palabra, para todos los falsos, su lugar y su parte es el lago que arde con fuego de azufre, que es la segunda muerte.}
Se acercó a mí uno de los siete ángeles de las siete copas llenas de las siete últimas plagas y me dijo: {Ven, que te voy a mostrar a la novia, a la esposa del Cordero.} Me trasladó en espíritu a un cerro muy grande y elevado y me mostró la Ciudad Santa de Jerusalén, que bajaba del cielo de junto a Dios.
Apocalipsis 22:20
El que da fe de estas palabras dice: {Sí, vengo pronto.} Amén. Ven, Señor Jesús.

PRIMEIRA SEMANA
MEDITAÇÕES PARA NOVE DIAS
Romanos 8:14-17
Todos os que são conduzidos pelo Espírito de Deus são filhos de Deus. Com efeito, não recebestes um espírito de escravos, para recair no temor, mas recebestes um espírito de filhos adotivos, pelo qual clamamos: Abba! Pai! O próprio Espírito se une ao nosso espírito para testemunhar que somos filhos de Deus. E se somos filhos, somos também herdeiros; herdeiros de Deus e co-herdeiros de Cristo, pois sofremos com Ele para também com Ele sermos glorificados.
Romanos 8:5-9
Com efeito, os que vivem segundo a carne desejam as coisas da carne, e os que vivem segundo o espírito, as coisas que são do espírito. De fato, o desejo da carne é morte, ao passo que o desejo do espírito é vida e paz, uma vez que o desejo da carne é inimigo de Deus: pois ele não se submete à lei de Deus, e nem o pode, pois os que estão na carne não podem agradar a Deus. Vós não estais na carne, mas no espírito, se é que o Espírito de Cristo habita em vós, pois quem não tem o espírito de Cristo não pertence a Ele.
1 João 4:12-16
Ninguém jamais contemplou a Deus. Se nos amarmos uns aos outros, Deus permanece em nós, e seu Amor em nós é perfeito.
Nisto reconhecemos que permanecemos nele e Ele em nós: Ele nos deu o seu Espírito. E nós contemplamos e testemunhamos que o Pai enviou o seu Filho como Salvador do mundo.
Aquele que confessar que Jesus é o Filho de Deus, Deus permanece nele e ele em Deus.
E nós temos reconhecido o amor de Deus por nós, e nele acreditamos.
Deus é Amor: aquele que permanece no amor permanece em Deus e Deus permanece nele.
1 João 4:17-21
Nisto consiste a perfeição do amor em nós: que tenhamos plena confiança no dia do Julgamento, porque tal como ele é também somos nós neste mundo.
Não há temor no amor; mas o perfeito amor lança fora o temor, porque o temor implica um castigo, e o que teme não é perfeito no amor.
Quanto a nós, amemos, porque ele nos amou primeiro.
Se alguém disser: "Amo a Deus", mas odeia o seu irmão, é um mentiroso: pois quem não ama seu irmão, a quem vê, a Deus, a quem não vê, não poderá amar.
E este mandamento dele recebemos: aquele que ama a Deus, ame também o seu irmão.
1 João 4:7-11
Caríssimos, amemo-nos uns aos outros, pois o amor é de Deus e todo aquele que ama nasceu de Deus e conhece a Deus. Aquele que não ama não conheceu a Deus, porque Deus é Amor.
Nisto se manifestou o amor de Deus entre nós: Deus enviou o seu Filho ao mundo para que vivamos por Ele. Nisto consiste o amor: não fomos nós que amamos a Deus, mas foi Ele quem nos amou e enviou-nos o seu Filho como vítima de expiação pelos nossos pecados.
Caríssimos, se Deus assim nos amou, devemos, nós também, amarmo-nos uns aos outros.
Atos dos Apóstolos 1:1-5
No primeiro livro, ó Teófilo, apresentei tudo quanto Jesus fez e ensinou, desde o princípio, até ao dia em que, pelo Espírito Santo, deu ordem aos apóstolos que havia escolhido, e foi elevado ao céu.
A eles mostrou-se vivo após a paixão com numerosas e indiscutíveis provas; apareceu-lhes por espaço de quarenta dias, falando-lhes do Reino de Deus. No decurso de uma refeição da qual participou, ordenou-lhes que não se afastassem de Jerusalém, mas que esperassem a realização da promessa do Pai "a qual, disse Ele, ouvistes da minha boca: João batizava com água; vós, porém, sereis batizados com o Espírito Santo dentro de poucos dias".
Atos dos Apóstolos 1:6-9
Estando, portanto, reunidos, eles o interrogavam: "Senhor, será agora que hás de restaurar a realeza em Israel?" Ele respondeu: "Não vos compete conhecer os tempos e os momentos que o Pai reservou a seu poder. Mas o Espírito Santo descerá sobre vós e dele recebereis força. Sereis, então, minhas testemunhas em Jerusalém, em toda a Judéia e Samaria, e até os confins da terra.
Dito isso, elevou-se à vista deles, e uma nuvem o ocultou a seus olhos.
Atos dos Apóstolos 1:12-14
Então, do monte que se chama das Oliveiras, voltaram a Jerusalém. A distância não é grande, é a de um caminho de sábado. Tendo entrado na cidade, subiram à sala superior, onde habitualmente ficavam. Eram Pedro, João, Tiago, André, Filipe e Tomé, Bartolomeu e Mateus, Tiago, filho de Alfeu, Simão Zelote e Judas, filho de Tiago.
Todos, unânimes, eram assíduos à oração com algumas mulheres, entre as quais Maria, mãe de Jesus, e os irmãos dele.
Atos dos Apóstolos 2:1-4
Quando chegou o dia de Pentecostes, estavam todos reunidos no mesmo lugar. De repente, veio do céu um ruído semelhante ao soprar de um impetuoso vendaval, e encheu toda a casa onde se achavam. E apareceram umas como línguas de fogo, que se distribuíram e foram pousar sobre cada um deles. Todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo e começaram a falar em outras línguas, conforme o Espírito os impelia que falassem.
SEGUNDA SEMANA
MEDITAÇÕES PARA NOVE DIAS
João 14:21-31
Quem tem meus mandamentos e os observa é que me ama; e quem me ama será amado por meu Pai. Eu o amarei e a ele me manifestarei.
Judas - não o Iscariotes – lhe diz: "Senhor, por que Te manifestas a nós e não ao mundo?" .Respondeu-lhe Jesus: "Se alguém me ama, guardará a minha palavra, e a ele viremos e nele estabeleceremos morada.
Quem não me ama não guarda as minhas palavras; e a palavra que ouvis não é minha, mas do Pai que me enviou. Estas coisas vos tenho dito estando entre vós.
Mas o Paráclito, o Espírito Santo que o Pai enviará em meu nome, vos ensinará tudo e vos recordará tudo o que vos disse.
Deixo-vos a paz, a minha paz vos dou; não vo-la dou como o mundo dá. Não se perturbe nem se intimide o vosso coração.
Vós ouvistes o que vos disse: Vou e retorno a vós. Se me amásseis, alegrar-vos-íeis por eu ir para o Pai, porque o Pai é maior do que Eu.
Eu vo-lo disse agora, antes que aconteça, para que, quando acontecer, acrediteis.
Já não vos falarei muito, pois o príncipe do mundo vem; contra mim, ele nada pode, mas o mundo saberá que amo o Pai e faço como o Pai me ordenou. Levantai-vos! Partamos daqui!
João 17:11-26
Já não estou no mundo; e eu volto a Ti. Pai Santo, guarda-os em teu nome - este nome que me deste! – para que sejam um como nós. Quando Eu estava com eles , Eu os aguardava em teu nome, que me deste; guardei-os e nenhum deles se perdeu , exceto o filho da perdição, para cumprir-se a Escritura.
Agora, porém, vou para junto de Ti e digo isto ano mundo, a fim de que tenham em si minha plena alegria.
Eu lhes dei a tua palavra, mas o mundo os odiou, porque não são do mundo, como Eu não sou do mundo.
Não peço que os tires do mundo, mas que os guarde do Maligno. Eles não são do mundo como Eu não sou do mundo.
Consagra-os na verdade; a tua palavra é verdade. Como Tu me enviaste ao mundo, também Eu os enviei ao mundo.
E, por eles, a mim mesmo me consagro para que sejam consagrados na verdade. Não rogo somente por eles, mas pelo que, por meio de sua palavra, crerão em mim: a fim de que todos sejam um. Como Tu, Pai, estás em mim e Eu em Ti, que eles estejam em nós, para que o mundo creia que Tu me enviaste.
Eu lhes dei a glória que me deste para sejam um, como nós somos um: Eu neles e Tu em mim, para que sejam perfeitos na unidade e para que o mundo reconheça que me enviaste e os amaste como Tu me amaste.
Pai, aqueles que me deste quero que, onde Eu estou, também eles estejam comigo, para que contemplem a minha glória, glória que me deste porque me amaste antes da criação do mundo.
Pai justo, o mundo não Te conheceu, mas Eu Te conheci e estes também conheceram que me enviaste.
Eu lhes dei a conhecer o Teu nome e lho darei a conhecer, a fim de que o amor com que me amaste esteja neles e Eu neles."
1 Coríntios 15:20-28
Não, porém! Cristo ressuscitou dos mortos, primícias dos que adormeceram. Com efeito, visto que a morte veio por um homem, também por um homem vem a ressurreição dos mortos. Pois, assim como todos morrem em Adão, em Cristo todos receberão a vida.
Cada um, porém, em sua ordem: como primícias, Cristo; depois aqueles que pertencem a Cristo, por ocasião de sua vinda. A seguir, haverá o fim, quando Ele entregar o reino a Deus Pai, depois de Ter destruído todo Principado, toda Autoridade, todo Poder. Pois é preciso que Ele reine, até que tenha posto todos os inimigos debaixo dos seus pés. O último inimigo a ser destruído será a Morte, pois Ele tudo colocou debaixo dos pés dele. Mas, quando Ele disser: "Tudo está submetido", evidentemente excluir-se-á aquele que tudo lhe submeteu, para que Deus seja tudo em todos.
Apocalipse 3:1-3,12,16-19
Ao Anjo da Igreja de Sardes, escreve: Assim diz Aquele que tem os sete Espíritos de Deus e as sete estrelas. Conheço tua conduta: tens fama de estar vivo, mas estás morto. Torna-te vigilante e consolida o resto que estava para morrer, pois não achei perfeita a tua conduta diante do meu Deus. Lembra-te, portanto, de como recebeste e ouviste, observa-o, e converte-te! Caso não vigies, virei como um ladrão, sem que saibas em que hora venho te surpreender.
Quanto ao vencedor, farei dele uma coluna no templo do meu Deus, e daí nunca mais sairá. Escreverei sobre ele o nome do meu Deus e o nome da Cidade do meu Deus - a nova Jerusalém, que desde do céu, de junto do meu Deus - e o meu novo nome.
Assim, porque és morno ,nem frio nem quente, estou para te vomitar de minha boca. Pois dizes: sou rico, enriqueci-me e de nada mais preciso. Não sabes, porém, que és tu o infeliz: miserável, pobre, cego e nu.
Aconselho-te a comprar de mim ouro purificado no fogo para que enriqueças, vestes brancas para que te cubras e não apareça a vergonha da tua nudez, e um colírio para que unjas teus olhos e possas enxergar. Quanto a mim, repreendo e educo todos aqueles que amo. Recobra, pois, o fervor e converte-te!
Apocalipse 5:9-14
Eles cantavam um canto novo: "Digno és Tu de receber o livro e de abrir os seus selos, pois foste imolado e, por teu sangue, resgataste para Deus homens de toda tribo, língua, povo e nação. Deles fizeste, para nosso Deus, uma realeza de sacerdotes, e eles reinarão sobre a terra."
Em minha visão ouvi ainda o clamor de uma multidão de anjos que circundavam o trono, os Seres vivos e os Anciãos – seu número era de milhões de milhões e milhares de milhares -, proclamando em alta voz: "Digno é o Cordeiro imolado de receber o poder, a riqueza, a sabedoria, a força, a honra, a glória e o louvor".
Ë ouvi toda criatura no céu, na terra, sob a terra, no mar, e todos os seres que neles vivem, proclamarem: "Àquele que está sentado no trono e ao Cordeiro pertencem o louvor, a honra, a glória e o domínio pelos séculos dos séculos!"
Os quatro Seres vivos diziam: "Amém!"; os Anciãos se prostraram e adoraram.
Apocalipse 7:14-17
Eu lhe respondi: "Meu Senhor, és tu quem o sabes!" Ele, então me explicou: "Estes são os que vêm da grande tribulação: lavaram suas vestes e alvejaram-nas no sangue do Cordeiro."
É por isso que estão diante do trono de Deus, servindo-o dia e noite em seu templo. Aquele que está sentado no trono estenderá sua tenda sobre eles: nunca mais terão fome, nem sede, o sol nunca mais os afligirá, nem qualquer calor ardente; pois o Cordeiro que está no meio do trono os apascentará, conduzindo-os até às fontes de água da vida.
E Deus enxugará toda lágrima de seus olhos."
Apocalipse 12:1-8
Um sinal grandioso apareceu no céu: uma Mulher vestida com o sol, tendo a lua sob seus pés e sobre a cabeça uma coroa de doze estrelas; estava grávida e gritava, entre as dores do parto, atormentada para dar à luz.
Apareceu então outro sinal no céu: um grande Dragão, cor de fogo, com sete cabeças e dez chifres, e sobre as cabeças sete diademas; sua cauda arrastava um terço das estrelas do céu, lançando-as para a terra.
O Dragão colocou-se diante da Mulher que estava para dar à luz, a fim de lhe devorar o filho, tão logo nascesse. Ela deu à luz um filho, um varão, que irá reger todas as nações com um cetro de ferro. Seu filho, porém, foi arrebatado para junto de Deus e de seu trono, e a Mulher fugiu para o deserto, onde Deus lhe havia preparado um lugar em que fosse alimentada por mil duzentos e sessenta dias.
Houve então uma batalha no céu: Miguel e seus Anjos guerrearam contra o Dragão. O Dragão batalhou, juntamente com seus Anjos, mas foi derrotado, e não se encontrou mais um lugar para eles no céu.
Apocalipse 14:1-7
Tive depois esta visão: eis que o Cordeiro estava de pé sobre o monte Sião com os cento e quarenta e quatro mil que traziam escrito sobre a fronte o nome dele e o nome de seu Pai. E ouvi uma voz que vinha do céu, semelhante a um fragor de águas e ao ribombo de um forte trovão; a voz que eu ouvi era como o som de citaristas tocando suas cítaras. Cantavam um cântico novo diante do trono, dos quatros Seres vivos e dos Anciãos. Ninguém podia aprender o cântico, exceto os cento e quarenta e quatro mil que foram resgatados da terra. Estes são os que não se contaminaram com mulheres: são virgens. Estes foram resgatados dentre os homens, como primícias para Deus e para o Cordeiro.
Na sua boca jamais foi encontrada mentira: são íntegros.
Vi depois outro Anjo que voava no meio do céu, com um evangelho eterno para anunciar aos habitantes da terra, a toda nação, tribo, língua e povo.
Ele dizia em alta voz: "Temei a Deus e tributai-lhe glória, pois chegou a hora do seu juízo; adorai aquele que fez o céu e a terra, o mar e as fontes."
Apocalipse 19:7-8
Alegremo-nos e exultemos, demos glória a Deus, porque estão para realizar-se as núpcias do Cordeiro, e sua mulher já está pronta: concederam-lhe vestir-se com linho puro, resplandecente" - pois o linho representa a conduta justa dos santos.
Apocalipse 21:1-10
Vi então um céu novo e uma nova terra – pois o primeiro céu e a primeira terra se foram, e o mar já não existe. Vi também descer do céu, de junto de Deus, a Cidade santa, uma Jerusalém nova, pronta como uma esposa que se enfeitou para seu marido .Nisto ouvi uma voz forte que, do trono, dizia: "Eis a tenda de Deus com os homens. Ele habitará com eles; eles serão o seu povo, e ele, Deus-com-eles, será o seu Deus. Ele enxugará toda lágrima dos seus olhos, pois nunca mais haverá morte, nem luto, nem clamor, e nem dor haverá mais. Sim! As coisas antigas se foram!"
O que está sentado no trono declarou então: "Eis que faço novas todas as coisas. "E continuou: "Escreve, porque estas palavras são fiéis e verdadeiras." Disse-me ainda: "Elas se realizaram! Eu sou o Alfa e o Ômega, o Princípio e o Fim; e a quem tem sede Eu darei gratuitamente da fonte de água viva. O vencedor receberá esta herança, e eu serei seu Deus e ele será meu filho.
Quanto aos covardes, porém, e aos infiéis, aos corruptos, aos assassinos, aos impudicos, aos mágicos, aos idólatras e a todos os mentirosos, a sua porção se encontra no lago ardente de fogo e enxofre, que é a segunda morte."
Depois, um dos sete Anjos das sete taças cheias com as sete últimas pragas veio até mim e disse-me: "Vem! Vou mostrar-te a Esposa, a mulher do Cordeiro!"
Ele então me arrebatou em espírito sobre um grande alto monte, e mostrou-me a Cidade santa, Jerusalém, que descia do céu, de junto de Deus.
Apocalipse 22:20
Aquele que atesta estas coisas, diz: "Sim, venho muito em breve! "Amém! Vem, Senhor Jesus!

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15 |
|
Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15 | ||
|
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15 |
Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15 |

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10 |
