Reading 1, Deuteronomy 30:15-20 15 'Look, today I am offering you life and prosperity, death and disaster. 16 If you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am laying down for you today, if you love Yahweh your God and follow his ways, if you keep his commandments, his laws and his customs, you will live and grow numerous, and Yahweh your God will bless you in the country which you are about to enter and make your own. 17 But if your heart turns away, if you refuse to listen, if you ...

Reading 1, Joel 2:12-18 12 'But now -- declares Yahweh- come back to me with all your heart, fasting, weeping, mourning.' 13 Tear your hearts and not your clothes, and come back to Yahweh your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in faithful love, and he relents about inflicting disaster. 14 Who knows if he will not come back, relent and leave a blessing behind him, a cereal offering and a libation to be presented to Yahweh your God? 15 Blow the ram's-horn in Zion! ...

Reading 1, Sirach 2:1-11 1 My child, if you aspire to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for an ordeal. 2 Be sincere of heart, be steadfast, and do not be alarmed when disaster comes. 3 Cling to him and do not leave him, so that you may be honoured at the end of your days. 4 Whatever happens to you, accept it, and in the uncertainties of your humble state, be patient, 5 since gold is tested in the fire, and the chosen in the furnace of humiliation. 6 Trust him and he will uphold you, follow ...

Reading 1, Sirach 1:1-10 1 All wisdom comes from the Lord, she is with him for ever. 2 The sands of the sea, the drops of rain, the days of eternity -- who can count them? 3 The height of the sky, the breadth of the earth, the depth of the abyss -- who can explore them? 4 Wisdom was created before everything, prudent understanding subsists from remotest ages. 5 6 For whom has the root of wisdom ever been uncovered? Her resourceful ways, who knows them? 7 8 One only is wise, terrible ...

Reflection on Reading 1, Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18 1. This is the Seventh Sunday in Ordinary time. The Last Sunday before Ash Wednesday, when we enter into the Great Lent. Notice, this will be the last time Liturgically, that we sing, chant or say the Alleluia, as we move into a protracted time of penance, fasting, prayer and preparation, following Jesus into the desert. Our theme throughout all of the readings appointed for this Holy Mass is the call to Holiness, what is called in theological ...

Reflection on Reading 1, Hebrews 11:1-7 1. The first reading appointed for today�¢����s Holy Mass is an excerpt from the powerful 11th chapter of the letter which sets forth the great heroes of faith found in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament, as a model for each one of us. They are, what the writer of the letter calls at the beginning of the next chapter, "a great cloud of witnesses". They are the heroes of the faith. Central to their priseworthy faith is the fact that they relied ...

Reflection on Reading 1, Genesis 9:1-13 1. The late Pope Benedict XVI was an extraordinary theologian and Scripture Scholar. In his work on covenants, he explains "The covenant then is not a pact built on reciprocity, but rather a gift, a creative act of God's love." And so, in our first reading, we hear " God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, 'Breed, multiply and fill the earth." The God of the Bible, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our God, is a God who always seeks ...

To Know God is to Receive Hope: https://ycvf.org/products/saved-by-hope Jesus had a bigger mission, a more important mission. He came to defeat man's greatest enemies. He came to defeat Sin and the death it brings. He came to defeat the death of the soul, and through His ressurection, to open up the way to eternal life.

Reading 1, Genesis 9:1-13 1 God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, 'Breed, multiply and fill the earth. 2 Be the terror and the dread of all the animals on land and all the birds of heaven, of everything that moves on land and all the fish of the sea; they are placed in your hands. 3 Every living thing that moves will be yours to eat, no less than the foliage of the plants. I give you everything, 4 with this exception: you must not eat flesh with life, that is to say blood, in ...
