Please keep the Holy Father in your prayers today.

From Catholic News Service: This morning Pope Francis presented with an asthmatic respiratory crisis of prolonged magnitude, which also required the application of oxygen at high flows.

O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Francis,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;

Grant, we pray, that by word and example
he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

INJILI
Lk. 6:27-38
Siku ile Yesu aliwaambia wafuasi wake: Nawaambia ninyi mnaosikia, Wapendeni adui zenu, watendeeni mema wale ambao wawachukia ninyi, wabarikieni wale ambao wawalaani ninyi, waombeeni wale ambao wawaonea ninyi. Akupigaye shavu moja, mgeuzie la pili, naye akunyang’anyaye joho yako, usimzuilie na kanzu. Mpe kila akuombaye, na akunyang’anyaye vitu vyako, usitake akurudishie. Na k**a mnavyotaka watu wawatendee ninyi, watendeeni vivyo hivyo. Maana mkiwapenda wale wawapendao ninyi hivyo. Maana mkiwapenda wale wawapendao ninyi, mwaonyesha fadhili gani? Kwa kuwa hata wenye dhambi huwapenda wale wawapendao. Nanyi mkiwatendea mema wale wawatendeao mema, mwaonyesha fadhili gani? Hata wenye dhambi hufanya vivyo hivyo. Na mkiwakopesha watu huku mkitumaini kupata kitu kwao, mwaonyesha fadhili gani? Hata wenye dhambi huwakopesha wenye dhambi, ili warudishiwe vile vile. Bali wapendeni adui zenu, tendeni mema, na kukopesha msitumaini kupata malipo, na thawabu yenu itakuwa nyingi; nanyi mtakuwa wana wa Aliye juu, kwa kuwa yeye ni mwema kwa wasiomshukuru, na waovu.Basi, iweni na huruma, k**a Baba yenu alivyo na huruma. Msihukumu, nanyi hamtahukumiwa; achilieni nanyi mtaachiliwa. Wapeni watu vitu, nanyi mtapewa; kipimo cha kujaa na kushindiliwa, na kusukwasukwa hata kumwagika, ndicho watu watakachowapa vifuani mwenu. Kwa kuwa kipimo kile kile mpimacho ndicho mtakachopimiwa.

Neno la Bwana… Sifa kwako Ee Kristo.

SOMO 21Kor. 15:45 – 49
Ndivyo ilivyoandikwa, Mtu wa kwanza, Adamu, akawa nafsi iliyo hai; Adamu wa mwisho ni roho yenye kuhuisha. Lakini hautangulii ule war oho, bali ule wa asili; baadaye huja ule war oho. Mtu wa kwanza atoka katika nchi, ni wa udongo. Mtu wa pili atoka mbinguni. K**a alivyoa yeye wa udongo, ndivyo walivyo walio wa udongo; na k**a alivyo yeye wa mbinguni, ndivyo walivyo walio wa mbinguni. Na k**a tulivyoichukua sura yake yule wa udongo, kadhalika tutaichukua sura yake yeye aliye wa mbinguni.
Neno la Bwana… Tumshukuru Mungu.
SHANGILIO
Yn. 13:34
Aleluya, aleluya,
Nawapa amri mpya, mpendane. K**a vile nilivyowapenda ninyi, nanyi mpendane vivyo hivyo.

Zab. 13:5 – 6

Nami nimezitumainia fadhili zako; moyo wangu na uufurahie wokovu wako. Naam, nimwimbie Bwana, kwa kuwa amenitendea kwa ukarimu.

SOMO 1

1Sam. 26:2,7-9,12-13,22-23

Sauli aliondoka, akashuka nyika kwa Zifu, naye alikuwa na watu elfu tatu, wateule wa Israeli, pamoja naye, ili kumtafuta Daudi katika nyika ya Zefu. Basi Daudi na Abishai wakawaendea watu usiku; na tazama, Sauli alikuwapo kati ya magari amelala usingizi, na fumo lake limechomekwa chini, karibu na kichwa chake; naye Abneri na watu wake wamelala wakimzunguka. Ndipo Abishai akamwambia Daudi, Mungu amemtia adui yako mikononi mwako leo; basi, niache nimpige kwa hilo fumo hata nchi kwa pigo moja, sitampiga mara ya pili. Lakni Daudi akamwambia Abishai, Usimwangamize; kwani ni nani awezaye kuunyosha mkono wake juu ya masihi wa Bwana, naye akawa hana hatia? Basi Daudi akalitwaa lile fumo, na lile gudulia la maji, kichwani pa Sauli; nao wakaenda zao, wala hapana mtu aliyeliona jambo hili wala kulijua, wala kuamka; maana wote walikuwa wamelala; kwa kuwa usingizi mzito kutoka kwa Bwana umewaangukia. Kisha Daudi akaenda ng’ambo ya pili, akasimama juu ya kilima, mbali sana; palipokuwapo nafasi tele katikati yao. Daudi akapiga kelele akasema, Litazame fumo hili, Ee mfalme! Kijana mmoja na avukie huku, alitwae. Naye Bwana atamlipa kila mtu haki yake, na uaminifu wake; maana Bwana amekutia mikononi mwangu leo, nami nalikataa kuunyosha mkono wangu juu ya masihi wa Bwana.

Neno la Bwana… Tumshukuru Mungu.

Sunday Mass Readings for February 16 2025:
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C
Lectionary: 78
1st Reading
Jeremiah 17:5-8
5 Thus says the LORD: Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh, whose heart turns away from the LORD.6 He is like a barren bush in the desert that enjoys no change of season, but stands in a lava waste, a salt and empty earth.7 Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose hope is the LORD.8 He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: it fears not the heat when it comes; its leaves stay green; in the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 1:1-2, 3, 4 AND 6
R. (40:5a) Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.

1 Blessed the man who follows not
the counsel of the wicked,
nor walks in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the company of the insolent,
2 but delights in the law of the LORD
and meditates on his law day and night.
R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
3 He is like a tree
planted near running water,
that yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
4 Not so the wicked, not so;
they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked vanishes.
R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.

2nd Reading
1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20
Brothers and sisters:
12 If Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead?16 If the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised,17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.18 Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all.20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
10th September 2023 (Sunday) Readings
Lectionary: 127
First Reading: Ezekiel 33:7-9
Thus says the Lord: “You, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.

Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7abc, 7d-9, (R. 7d, 8a)
R/. O that today you would listen to his voice! Harden not your hearts.

Second Reading: Romans 13:8-10
Brethren: Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Alleluia
V/. Alleluia R/. Alleluia

V/. The Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

R/. Alleluia

Gospel : Matthew 18:15-10
At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed

August 21 2023
Readings for the Memorial of Saint Pius X, pope
Lectionary: 419

Reading I
Jgs 2:11-19
The children of Israel offended the LORD by serving the Baals.
Abandoning the LORD, the God of their fathers,
who led them out of the land of Egypt,
they followed the other gods of the various nations around them,
and by their worship of these gods provoked the LORD.

Because they had thus abandoned him and served Baal and the Ashtaroth,
the anger of the LORD flared up against Israel,
and he delivered them over to plunderers who despoiled them.
He allowed them to fall into the power of their enemies round about
whom they were no longer able to withstand.
Whatever they undertook, the LORD turned into disaster for them,
as in his warning he had sworn he would do,
till they were in great distress.
Even when the LORD raised up judges to deliver them
from the power of their despoilers,
they did not listen to their judges,
but abandoned themselves to the worship of other gods.
They were quick to stray from the way their fathers had taken,
and did not follow their example of obedience
to the commandments of the LORD.
Whenever the LORD raised up judges for them, he would be with the judge
and save them from the power of their enemies
as long as the judge lived;
it was thus the LORD took pity on their distressful cries
of affliction under their oppressors.
But when the judge died,
they would relapse and do worse than their ancestors,
following other gods in service and worship,
relinquishing none of their evil practices or stubborn conduct.

Responsorial Psalm
106:34-35, 36-37, 39-40, 43ab and 44
R. (4a) Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.
They did not exterminate the peoples,
as the LORD had commanded them,
But mingled with the nations
and learned their works.
R. Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.
They served their idols,
which became a snare for them.
They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons.
R. Remember us

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 118

Reading 1
Is 56:1, 6-7
Thus says the LORD:
Observe what is right, do what is just;
for my salvation is about to come,
my justice, about to be revealed.

The foreigners who join themselves to the LORD,
ministering to him,
loving the name of the LORD,
and becoming his servants—
all who keep the sabbath free from profanation
and hold to my covenant,
them I will bring to my holy mountain
and make joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be acceptable on my altar,
for my house shall be called
a house of prayer for all peoples.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8
R. (4) O God, let all the nations praise you!
May God have pity on us and bless us;
may he let his face shine upon us.
So may your way be known upon earth;
among all nations, your salvation.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May the nations be glad and exult
because you rule the peoples in equity;
the nations on the earth you guide.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you!
May God bless us,
and may all the ends of the earth fear him!
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!

Reading 2
Rom 11:13-15, 29-32
Brothers and sisters:
I am speaking to you Gentiles.
Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,
I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous
and thus save some of them.
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world,
what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
Just as you once disobeyed God
but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,
so they have now disobeyed in order that,
by virtue of the mercy shown to you,
they too may now receive mercy.
For God delivered all to disobedience,
that he might have mercy upon all.

Dt 6:4-13
Moses said to the people:
"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone!
Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God,
with all your heart,
and with all your soul,
and with all your strength.
Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today.
Drill them into your children.
Speak of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest.
Bind them at your wrist as a sign
and let them be as a pendant on your forehead.
Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.

"When the LORD, your God, brings you into the land which he swore
to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
that he would give you,
a land with fine, large cities that you did not build,
with houses full of goods of all sorts that you did not garner,
with cisterns that you did not dig,
with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant;
and when, therefore, you eat your fill,
take care not to forget the LORD,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.
The LORD, your God, shall you fear;
him shall you serve, and by his name shall you swear."

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 18:2-3a, 3bc-4, 47 and 51
R. (2) I love you, Lord, my strength.
I love you, O LORD, my strength,
O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
R. I love you, Lord, my strength.
My God, my rock of refuge,
my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold!
Praised be the LORD, I exclaim!
And I am safe from my enemies.
R. I love you, Lord, my strength.
The LORD live! And blessed be my Rock!
Extolled be God my savior!
You who gave great victories to your king,
and showed kindness to your anointed,
to David and his posterity forever.
R. I love you, Lord, my strength.

Why is St Clare always holding a monstrance?

While the Saracen army of Frederick II was ravaging the valley of Spoleto, a body of infidels advanced to assault Saint Clare’s convent, which stood outside Assisi. The Saint caused the Blessed Sacrament to be placed in a monstrance, above the gate of the monastery facing the enemy, and kneeling before it, prayed, “Deliver not to beasts, O Lord, the souls of those who confess to you.” A voice from the host replied, “My protection will never fail you.” A sudden panic seized the foreign army, which took to flight, and the Clare’s convent was spared.

St. Clare of Assisi, pray for us.
