faith, prove

So that I can lift you up to the full Glory of My Father’s Paradise, you need to aspire to the glory of perfect union in Me

The Book of Truth:

“Write this, My beloved daughter. Faith has a way of deserting My most devout followers when they least expect it. This is important, as it tests their faith, so that they will come back into My Heart, all the more strong for the experience. Fear not, this is a trial which I allow My children to endure so that they will become stronger.

It is not easy to retain your faith in Me, My children, as there are so many obstacles, which block your devotion. You will, from time to time, feel a complete emptiness in your soul. This can leave you in an agitated state because you feel alone without a crutch.

For, My faithful followers, you must understand this. I, despite the loneliness you may experience, Am never far away. All of these episodes have one goal, to strengthen your faith, in such a way, so as to ensure that you move a few steps towards Me each time. This is what is called the stairway to spiritual perfection, that is Heaven. It is a long stairway and can take a very long time to reach the upper steps.

Each step can represent a new revelation into what lessons you must experience before you can attain the Graces you need to elevate your souls to the spiritual perfection needed to enter My Father’s Paradise.

As each step is mounted, a new awareness of which I expect of you is realised. Hard, at times, unfair it may seem, at other times. But for each step you climb, the more astute you become in understanding the Truth of My Teachings.

Some climb these steps quickly, while others take their time. Some of My devout followers may lose courage and back one step, two steps or three at a time. This is natural. Others who move too quickly, gain a confidence that convinces them they understand all spiritual matters. But this is the deceiver’s way of making you believe and accept this false confidence. All gifts bestowed on you can only come from Me. They are given to you, My faithful followers, out of My boundless Love for you. You must never assume that because your faith is strong that this is all your doing. Yes, your faith may be strong because of your tenderness of heart. Yet, this is also a Gift from Me. You must, in order to reach the top step, be humble in your love for Me. Show virtue at all times.

Show confidence in your faith, by all means, as this is pleasing to Me. But never fall into the trap of believing you know the full mysteries of the Divine Realm. As humans, born with original sin, only time will reveal these mysteries to you, My children.

Strive always to accept everything, even the trials I may send you, as a Gift from Me. All My Gifts are bestowed to make you strong in your love for Me.

I Am so very proud of all My children, who believe in Me and show Me honour and respect. So that I can lift you up to the full Glory of My Father’s Paradise, you need to aspire to the glory of perfect union in Me.

To do this, My children, takes a little time and requires patience, before you yield to the total abandonment of your soul to Me. Once that happens you become part of My Mystical Body for eternity.

Surrender, My children, to My absolute Pure Love and you will never have to look back or fear, for you will be safe in My Arms.

Keep strong, My faithful children, even in the face of obstacles, for I will never desert My beloved devoted followers. Ever.

Your loving Saviour

Jesus Christ”

Reading 1

RV 14:14-19

I, John, looked and there was a white cloud,
and sitting on the cloud one who looked like a son of man,
with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.
Another angel came out of the temple,
crying out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud,
“Use your sickle and reap the harvest,
for the time to reap has come,
because the earth’s harvest is fully ripe.”
So the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth,
and the earth was harvested.

Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven
who also had a sharp sickle.
Then another angel came from the altar, who was in charge of the fire,
and cried out in a loud voice
to the one who had the sharp sickle,
“Use your sharp sickle and cut the clusters from the earth’s vines,
for its grapes are ripe.”
So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and cut the earth’s vintage.
He threw it into the great wine press of God’s fury.

    R. The Lord comes to judge the earth.
    Before the LORD, for he comes;

Gospel

LK 21:5-11

While some people were speaking about
how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings,
Jesus said, “All that you see here–
the days will come when there will not be left
a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.”

Then they asked him,
“Teacher, when will this happen?
And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?”
He answered,
“See that you not be deceived,
for many will come in my name, saying,
‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’
Do not follow them!

When you hear of wars and insurrections,
do not be terrified; for such things must happen first,
but it will not immediately be the end.” 
Then he said to them,
“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues
from place to place;
and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.”  „

The Dragon, the new world energy, is scheming now and will destroy cities in the West. The time is close. Pray, pray for conversion as this evil cannot be stopped, as there is not enough prayer to prevent it. Pray for those souls, who through this nuclear war, will die.  ….”

The Man of Lawlessness

2 As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters,[a] 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here.

26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all of them. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed all of them 30 —it will be like that on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, anyone on the housetop who has belongings in the house must not come down to take them away; and likewise anyone in the field must not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Those who try to make their life secure will lose it, but those who lose their life will keep it. 34 I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 There will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken and the other left.”[a] 37 Then they asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.”””

My intervention will turn the world on its axis

 “Wednesday, 6 May, 2015, 22.31

https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2805/scientists-id-three-causes-of-earths-spin-axis-drift/
My dearly beloved daughter, My Tears flow in great torrents at this time as the Holy Word of God is being torn asunder.Love for Me, Jesus Christ, has dissipated and the spirit of My Church is drying up so that, soon, it will become but just a desert. It will be bereft of life and only the true faithful among My Church will keep the Heart of My Love beating steadily, while everything else, which surrounds it, will become dehydrated with every ounce of life sucked from it.

Never before, since My Crucifixion, has Christianity endured such persecution because of contempt against the Word of God.
 
All that is held sacred in My Father’s Heavenly Kingdom is being decimated by man, whose heart no longer feels love for his Creator God the Most High. Those who remain faithful to Him, and who love and cherish Him, will feel His Pain within their hearts like a sword, which pierces and inflicts terrible suffering but which will not kill. For those with true love for God will be unable to separate from Him because they are attached to Him by an umbilical cord, which cannot be severed.
God, through His Mercy, will destroy His enemies who try to steal the souls of those whose names are contained in the Book of Life. My Time is almost upon you.
 

Never give up hope or despair, when you witness the work of My nemesis and the speed by which his cunning wicked ways are accepted by unsuspecting souls. I am firstmost a God of Great Patience and My Mercy will be poured over the human race in abundance amidst the flames of My Love. These flames will instil a renewal of faith in Me by those who have fallen away from Me, just as they will destroy Satan and every demon and fallen angel who hold hostage those souls who belong to Me, but who have separated from Me.

My Time will come, but not before the world will see the signs foretold in the Book of Revelation and the Book of Truth. Do not fear Me. Prepare for Me. Reject the false promises made by My enemies. Remain true, always, to My Word. My enemies will have no part in My Kingdom. My beloved faithful, including those who call out to Me, during the Warning, will never die. For theirs is the New Kingdom – My Kingdom – the One promised to Me, the Messiah, the King for all time – a world without end. 


This may be a time of confusion, division, sadness and a longing for those who represent Me on this earth to proclaim the Truth. But know this. I Am the Truth. The Truth never dies. My Kingdom is eternal and you, My beloved children, belong to Me. Come. Stay close to Me. I will lead you to your rightful inheritance. Trust in Me. Listen to Me through these Messages – the Book of Truth. It is God’s Gift to you so that you will never forget My Promise to come again to judge the living – those alive on this earth as well as those who died in My Favour.
I will show signs of every kind all over the world now. Those who are blessed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit, will know they have been sent to you by the Command of My beloved Father.
Go in Peace. Listen to Me only through these messages at this time.
I love you all dearly and I have claimed you as Mine. Let no man attempt to steal one single soul from Me, for he will suffer eternal torment for his actions.

I will purge this earth by flame and sorrow

February 3, 2012

Most gracious Lord, bring us to repentance, or else our spirit will die; 1

peace to you My child; My Eyes, Vassula, penetrate into the darkness of each soul; I suffer with thirst for souls;

Vassula, the world today will try to take away your (plural) freedom; today the world scorns all that is Holy, some 2 claim to have absolute knowledge of My Divinity, but the things they are drawn to are nothing but a denial of Me; I was calling, but they denied and still deny that I am calling; the leaders of your country are killing and stealing the bread from the children’s mouth; they charge your nation and assault it as they please; from every side they will rob you of the fruit of your labours;  (allow Me to speak,) …the people of your country have taken the wrong path;

you are a land that I have blessed, but you have neglected to praise Me and extol Me; your shepherds who know nothing go their own way, each after their own interest neglecting My fold, and silencing My Voice; they are following the way of this world; immersed in the passions of this world without hope and without Me, your God;

My Word is something alive and active; it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely;3 and yet in their night they failed to believe that I have blessed you with spiritual graces; I have been calling every soul to renew their mind by a spiritual revolution, so that they live in Me and I in them, but they failed to hear Me; I was calling them to give up their old way of life, but they gave their heart to their money saying: “with this I am self-sufficient;” and they have put Me out of their mind day after day;

I have within Me both Mercy and Wrath; so look at the generations of old and see: they extolled Me and honoured Me; these were an example of loyalty and gentleness, who glorified Me;

have you not read: “woe to the listless heart that has no faith, for such will have no protection, woe to you who have lost the will to endure; what will you do at the Lord’s visitation?” 4

in these days I mean to purge the lands of their apostasy, their passions and their sins that are lying now like hot coal on their heads bearing the weight of their sins; and now I am telling you: My Word will come true as in the past when I had forewarned you about your apostatized nations that the towers would crumble down and the waves of the seas will bring destruction shaking the earth out of its axis; these were to be Signs for all of you, for when they happen you would know that I, God, have spoken;

during these End of Times, My Spirit will be poured on all humanity, even on those who scorned My Words in this Message, making fun of My Promise;

as I said: My Word is alive and out of My Word, the same Word, I formed the earth, and I tell you, I will purge this earth by flame and sorrow; when angels sinned I did not spare them; My Day will come upon you in an unexpected time; I will silence the fools; then from thereon you will live in My Will; the nations will see Me with different eyes; love and justice will reign once more, and violence will be heard no more;

today I am feeding My lambs in this way, and My Spirit is bringing spiritual food to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken and remind them once more that – the Heart of the Lord is all forgiveness, all love and tenderness; — a Heart that can array you with His Glory, a Heart in which you can find comfort; I bring salvation, to every open heart; and if today I reproached you, it is because of the greatness of the Love I have for you; My Heart is bleeding with sorrow to see this hour of darkness upon you, thrown in the mud of your sin; I will rescue you, only if you repent and return to Me; ic”

“… The new Babylon, all will be told, is to glorify the great one, to promote the environment, to embrace mother earth and to rid the world of poverty from the riches, which will pour from its vile mouth.When this takes place, the Hand of My intervention will turn the world on its axis. I Am not going to stand by without warning My children of the consequences of embracing this abomination, created in the depths of Hell and inflicted upon humanity. My great signs will be given to show all those who embrace and accept this insult in My Holy Name. …”

Friday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 399

Reading 1 Jer 3:14-17

Return, rebellious children, says the LORD,
 for I am your Master;
 I will take you, one from a city, two from a clan,
 and bring you to Zion.
 I will appoint over you shepherds after my own heart,
 who will shepherd you wisely and prudently.
 When you multiply and become fruitful in the land,
 says the LORD,
 They will in those days no longer say,
 “The ark of the covenant of the LORD!”
 They will no longer think of it, or remember it,
 or miss it, or make another.

At that time they will call Jerusalem the LORD’s throne;
 there all nations will be gathered together
 to honor the name of the LORD at Jerusalem,
 and they will walk no longer in their hardhearted wickedness.

Responsorial Psalm Jer 31:10, 11-12abcd, 13

R. (see 10d) The Lord will guard us as a shepherd guards his flock.
Hear the word of the LORD, O nations,
proclaim it on distant isles, and say:
He who scattered Israel, now gathers them together,
he guards them as a shepherd his flock.
R. The Lord will guard us as a shepherd guards his flock.
The LORD shall ransom Jacob,
he shall redeem him from the hand of his conqueror.
Shouting, they shall mount the heights of Zion,
they shall come streaming to the LORD’s blessings:
The grain, the wine, and the oil,
the sheep and the oxen.
R. The Lord will guard us as a shepherd guards his flock.
Then the virgins shall make merry and dance,
and young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into joy,
I will console and gladden them after their sorrows.
R. The Lord will guard us as a shepherd guards his flock.

Alleluia See Lk 8:15

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart
and yield a harvest through perseverance.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mt 13:18-23

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Hear the parable of the sower.
The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the Kingdom
without understanding it,
and the Evil One comes and steals away
what was sown in his heart.
The seed sown on rocky ground
is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy.
But he has no root and lasts only for a time.
When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word,
he immediately falls away.
The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word,
but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word
and it bears no fruit.
But the seed sown on rich soil
is the one who hears the word and understands it,
who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.””

The Destiny of the Righteous

3.1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment will ever touch them.
2 In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died,
and their departure was thought to be a disaster,
3 and their going from us to be their destruction;
but they are at peace.
4 For though in the sight of others they were punished,
their hope is full of immortality.
5 Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good,
because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;
6 like gold in the furnace he tried them,
and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them.
7 In the time of their visitation they will shine forth,
and will run like sparks through the stubble.
8 They will govern nations and rule over peoples,
and the Lord will reign over them forever.
9 Those who trust in him will understand truth,
and the faithful will abide with him in love,
because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones,
and he watches over his elect.[a]

The Book of Truth:
“ Saturday, January 10th, 2015, 15:36

My dearest daughter, humanity has turned against Me and all that I created in My Image and, for that, My Sorrow is great.

My children will be saved by the Intervention of My dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ, and this will take place very soon. Before this day I ask all those who love Me to acknowledge the Truth; My Son and His Love to pray for His Mercy.

You, who love My Son, must remember His Promise to redeem the world and eradicate sin before His Glorious Kingdom descends. Life of the body and the soul will be eternal and those who accept My Son’s Mercy will gain this great Gift. Those who don’t, will not.

Come, My children, and accept My Word for it is eternal and nothing will destroy it. My adversary seethes with anger at this time because he knows that the world will be rid of his influence and he will unleash terrible hardships upon those souls he desires to deny, the Gift of eternal life.

You will be tested beyond endurance in your faith in the most Holy Blessed Trinity, and many of you will fall. True faith requires real trust and, unless you trust in the promises made by My Son, you will become separated from Him.

Every single child of Mine will be given the proof of My Existence shortly. When this sign is given, do not doubt it, for it is to bring you into My Refuge that I bequeath it to you.

Many signs have been given to the world of My Existence and now I bring you much more. Fear not for I will pursue every soul and there is not one amongst you that I do not love with a tender heart. I love My enemies, including those who torture Me with their wickedness. But, soon, the Gift I will bring them will awaken a dormant love for their Creator within their hearts. Their love and My Divine Love, combined, will defeat evil. I will wipe away all their fears and tears.

You, My dear children, will be given this Gift when you are least expecting it. For, that time is drawing nearer and the face of the world will be changed forever and for the good of all.

My Power exceeds all that is of this world and beyond it. My Kingdom is everlasting.Your beloved Father, God the Most High ”

They Have Sworn To Surge Over You

November 21, 1995

Have I toiled in vain?
 Have I exhausted myself for nothing?
 Yet all the while my course was with You.
 My charism is given by You, my God,
 this is why You were my Strength.

My Vassula, why do you say, “were my Strength?” why do you talk in the past? you are under My service still and you are permanently strengthened by Me; I am still your Strength and will always be …. no, you have not laboured in vain nor have you been spent for nothing; your abandonment has done prodigies in My Spirit; is a country born in one day? likewise nor is it possible that unity be born in one single day since many of My elect follow their own ways; a Voice was sent to the nations to speak and console My children, to turn them back to Me; I provided seeds to be sown in the field of reconciliation and I had provided you with My spiritual bread so that My Word fills those who lacked;

– your race, Vassula, is not over because I have created you to be My weapon against the Destroyer who renders many of My people blind; you will have nothing to fear since I am with you ….

yes, the Destroyer captivated their mind by its power over the world and its name lies in Scriptures as the three foul spirits forming a triangle; those three foul spirits coming from the jaws of dragon and beast and false prophet, 1 why, they have awakened with your sound since you are My Echo and so have sworn, by overturning My Chalice, to silence you; they have sworn to surge over you and against you;

My little angel, in your frailty I shall disarm the mighty ones; in your nothingness I shall reveal My Power and overturn their kingdoms; take courage, daughter, and I will re-establish the truth; I bless you;”

Monday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 305

Reading 1 1 Sm 1:1-8

There was a certain man from Ramathaim, Elkanah by name,
a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim.
He was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu,
son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
He had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah;
Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.
This man regularly went on pilgrimage from his city
to worship the LORD of hosts and to sacrifice to him at Shiloh,
where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,
were ministering as priests of the LORD.
When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice,
he used to give a portion each to his wife Peninnah
and to all her sons and daughters,
but a double portion to Hannah because he loved her,
though the LORD had made her barren.
Her rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her
that the LORD had left her barren.
This went on year after year;
each time they made their pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the LORD,
Peninnah would approach her,
and Hannah would weep and refuse to eat.
Her husband Elkanah used to ask her:
“Hannah, why do you weep, and why do you refuse to eat?
Why do you grieve?
Am I not more to you than ten sons?”

Responsorial Psalm 116:12-13, 14-17, 18-19

Gospel Mk 1:14-20

After John had been arrested,
 Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of God:
 “This is the time of fulfillment.
 The Kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”

As he passed by the Sea of Galilee,
 he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea;
      they were fishermen.
 Jesus said to them,
 “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
 Then they left their nets and followed him.
 He walked along a little farther
 and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John.
 They too were in a boat mending their nets.
 Then he called them.
 So they left their father Zebedee in the boat
 along with the hired men and followed him.”

“…  17 By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son, 18 of whom he had been told, “It is through Isaac that descendants shall be named for you.” 19 He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the dead—and figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. 20 By faith Isaac invoked blessings for the future on Jacob and Esau. 21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, “bowing in worship over the top of his staff.” 22 By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his burial.[a]

The Faith of Moses

23 By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.[b] 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered abuse suffered for the Christ[c] to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, unafraid of the king’s anger; for he persevered as though[d] he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.[e]

The Faith of Other Israelite Heroes

29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient,[f] because she had received the spies in peace.”

The Demand for a Sign

11 The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And he left them, and getting into the boat again, he went across to the other side.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod

14 Now the disciples[a] had forgotten to bring any bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out—beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”[b] 16 They said to one another, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 And becoming aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes, and fail to see? Do you have ears, and fail to hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 Then he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”“

1249. Oh how arrogant is the man who scoffs at My Existence

Leave a comment

The Book of Truth:

“ Thursday, October 23rd, 2014, 15:14

My dearly beloved daughter, for every good deed and act of charity, the forces of the evil one are diluted. For every prayer and suffering, offered up for the souls of those in darkness, evil acts and hatred are eradicated. Know that good deeds, which emanate from every person touched by the Power of the Holy Spirit, destroy the influence of Satan in the world.

Rise, all of you who have accepted the Truth contained in the Book of Revelation and pray for the salvation of all God’s children. Ask, ask, ask and I will respond to you when you pray for those you know who are intent on destroying all belief in Me, Jesus Christ.

Oh how arrogant is the man who scoffs at My Existence, My Divinity and My Promise to come again. How closed are their minds to the Love I hold in My Heart for all sinners, including those who betray Me. How easily led are those who are empty of the Holy Spirit. Woe to those who rise up against the Gift of the Holy Spirit, which is the life force of all things, which spring from Me. How thirsty are you who deny Me. Water will never quench your thirst and a day will come when you will beg Me for the Fountain of Life. Until that day comes, unless you ask to drink of Me, you will have no life.

Come – ask Me to enlighten you. Allow the fire of the Holy Spirit to flood your soul. If you come to Me, in full trust and humility, I will fill you with My Presence and when you acknowledge Me, I will give you the life you yearn for. Only then will peace reign in your heart.

Your Jesus”

True Life in God:
“September 24, 1988

My God?

I am; remember that I am Spirit, and all I have I share with your spirit; you and I are one, linked in union of Love, bound to each other in Love; I, your God, and you, My little one; I, your Creator, and you, My creature,

let those whose hearts have hardened be reminded that My Heart sanctifies; let them know that I call even nameless people, people without virtues, without any merits; I transform the stone-hearted and raise them from nothing at all; I come unexpectedly among the dead and can raise them all up; look at yourself, Vassula; your merits were none, yet out of great pity, I raised you; now you know what True Life In God means; I Am the Life;

glorify Me My child, never rebel against Me; keep in mind My instructions;

Lord?

I am;

There is one thing bothering me. There is one who says that I’m in constant sin, since I’m divorced and married again. That is why he says that surely this revelation, it is not You who gives it, my God, because of my constant sin.

let the man without sin announce himself to Me! let him come forward and show his face to Me;

Yes, My God. Help me: I do not know how to answer these statements, by these people.

do not; come quickly to Me; your Father is caring for you; we, us, child?

Forever and ever, amen.

Wisdom loves children;”

Reading 1 Rom 6:12-18

Brothers and sisters:
Sin must not reign over your mortal bodies
so that you obey their desires.
And do not present the parts of your bodies to sin
as weapons for wickedness,
but present yourselves to God as raised from the dead to life
and the parts of your bodies to God
as weapons for righteousness. 
For sin is not to have any power over you,
since you are not under the law but under grace.What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law
but under grace?
Of course not!
Do you not know that if you present yourselves
to someone as obedient slaves,
you are slaves of the one you obey,
either of sin, which leads to death,
or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
But thanks be to God that, although you were once slaves of sin,
you have become obedient from the heart
to the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted.
Freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 124:1b-3, 4-6, 7-8

R.(8a) Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Had not the LORD been with us,
let Israel say, had not the LORD been with us–
When men rose up against us,
then would they have swallowed us alive;
When their fury was inflamed against us.R. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Then would the waters have overwhelmed us;
The torrent would have swept over us;
over us then would have swept the raging waters.
Blessed be the LORD, who did not leave us
a prey to their teeth.
R. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
We were rescued like a bird
from the fowlers’ snare;
Broken was the snare,
and we were freed.
Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
R. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

Alleluia Mt 24:42a, 44

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Stay awake!
For you do not know when the Son of Man will come.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Lk 12:39-48

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Be sure of this:
if the master of the house had known the hour
when the thief was coming,
he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”Then Peter said,
“Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?”
And the Lord replied,
“Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward
whom the master will put in charge of his servants
to distribute the food allowance at the proper time?
Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so.
Truly, I say to you, he will put him
in charge of all his property.But if that servant says to himself,
‘My master is delayed in coming,’
and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants,
to eat and drink and get drunk,
then that servant’s master will come
on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour
and will punish the servant severely
and assign him a place with the unfaithful.
That servant who knew his master’s will
but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will
shall be beaten severely;
and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will
but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating
shall be beaten only lightly.
Much will be required of the person entrusted with much,
and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.””

Paul’s Vindication of His Apostleship

11 For I want you to know, brothers and sisters,[a] that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin; 12 for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 You have heard, no doubt, of my earlier life in Judaism. I was violently persecuting the church of God and was trying to destroy it. 14 I advanced in Judaism beyond many among my people of the same age, for I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. 15 But when God, who had set me apart before I was born and called me through his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son to me,[b] so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with any human being, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were already apostles before me, but I went away at once into Arabia, and afterwards I returned to Damascus.

18 Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days; 19 but I did not see any other apostle except James the Lord’s brother.”

The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth

54 He came to his hometown and began to teach the people[a] in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of power? 55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?” 57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honor except in their own country and in their own house.” 58 And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.

Paul’s Present Circumstances

12 I want you to know, beloved,[a] that what has happened to me has actually helped to spread the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard[b] and to everyone else that my imprisonment is for Christ; 14 and most of the brothers and sisters,[c] having been made confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, dare to speak the word[d] with greater boldness and without fear.

15 Some proclaim Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. 16 These proclaim Christ out of love, knowing that I have been put here for the defense of the gospel; 17 the others proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but intending to increase my suffering in my imprisonment. 18 What does it matter? Just this, that Christ is proclaimed in every way, whether out of false motives or true; and in that I rejoice.

Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance. 20 It is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be put to shame in any way, but that by my speaking with all boldness, Christ will be exalted now as always in my body, whether by life or by death.
