How
can you expect God to speak in that gentle and inward voice |
The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch. |
Those
who do more than they're paid for are always sought for their services. |
God doesn't call the qualified; he qualifies the called. |
READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available
in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First
Reading Deuteronomy
4:32-34.39-40
Moses
said to the people: Put this question to the ages that are past, that went before
you, from the time God created man on earth: Was there ever a word so majestic,
from one end of heaven to the other? Was anything ever heard? Did ever a people
hear the voice of the living God speaking from the heart of the fire, as you heard
it, and remain alive? Has any god ventured to take to himself one nation from
the midst of another by ordeals, signs, wonders, war with mighty hand and outstretched
arm, by fearsome terrors - all this that the Lord your God did for you before
your eyes in Egypt? Understand this today, therefore, and take it to heart: The
Lord is God indeed, in heaven above as on earth beneath, he and no other. Keep
his laws and commandments as I give them to you today, so that you and your children
may prosper and live long in the land that the Lord your God gives you for ever.
Second
Reading
Romans
8:14-17
Everyone moved by the Spirit is a son of God. The spirit you received
is not the spirit of slaves bringing fear into your lives again; it is the spirit
of sons, and it makes us cry out, "Abba, Father!" The Spirit himself
and our spirit bear united witness that we are children of God. And if we are
children we are heirs as well: heirs of God and coheirs with Christ, sharing his
sufferings so as to share his glory.
Gospel
Matthew
28:16-20
The eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus
had arranged to meet them. When they saw him they fell down before him, though
some hesitated. Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, "All authority
in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of
all the nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And know
that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.".
