Reminder for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 21, 2024

Isaiah 53:  Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many "righteous ones," as he himself carries the burden of their sins

Hebrews 4:  So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

Mark 10:  It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.  Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.

Say Nina and Kerry, "Who let in this old geezer in with that red cap?"

 

 

True?

– 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

 

 

 

 

Healing for Grace.

A note from John Cade:

In the summer of 1956, when still in the seminary, I spent a week at the Trappist monastery north of Atlanta, outside Conyers, Georgia.  I got to experience how Trappist monks end every single day, expressing their devotion to Mary, Jesus’ mother—a hundred men standing together and chanting in Latin, Salve Regina, Hail Holy Queen.  August 15^th is one of the days we have traditionally honored Mary.  I will chant this hymn in her honor at the end of Sunday Mass.

 

SALVE REGINA.                                                   HAIL HOLY QUEEN.                                           

Salve Regina, mater misericordiae:  vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.

Hail holy queen, mother of mercy; Our life, our sweetness and our hope.

 

Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae.  Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

 To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.  To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

 

Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.

Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us;

 

Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium, ostende.

And after this exile, show us the blessed fruit of you womb, Jesus.

 

O Clemens.   O pia.      O dulcis Virgo Maria.

O clement,   O loving,   O sweet Virgin Mary.

Readings:

Ezekiel 34, 11-12, 15-17,    I myself will look after and tend my sheep.

Psalm 23,  The Lord is my shepherd.  There is nothing I shall want.  ( A good one)

1 Corinthians 15, 20-26,28,    Christ has been raised from the dead.

Matthew 25, 31-46,,  He will sit on  his glorious throne.

 

NO HOMILY THIS WEEK.  ENJOY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

Rosemary's Blessing:  

May the blessing of the rain be on you—
the soft sweet rain.
May it fall upon your spirit
so that all the little flowers may spring up,
and shed their sweetness on the air.
May the blessing of the great rains be on you,
may they beat upon your spirit
and wash it fair and clean,
and leave there many a shining pool
where the blue of heaven shines,
and sometimes a star.

Irish Blessing
