Holy Sanctimony!

The sea is a wild thing. It can be calm one moment and violent the next. While the Aegean seemed an almost docile creature in Kusadasi, by the time we arrived at Canakkale, it was whipping at us with gale-force winds with white-tipped waves crashing against the shore. It was as if we had angered the God of the Sea, Poseidon, himself.

Our adventures in Turkiye, on the seventh of March, ranged from a quiet respectful introspection to the loud and boisterous. The first stop for the day was the House of the Virgin Mary, where it was believed she retreated to after the death of her son, Jesus. Though there sin’t any conclusive proof that the hideaway in the Turkish mountains is anything beyond a humble dwelling, it is still treated with much reverence by the staff there. Pastors, too, are even allowed to preach just beside it as well.

From there, we headed to the ancient of Ephesus. Initially built during the Hellenistic period, the site had also been adapted by the Romans when they took control of the region. Of particular note, again, were the baths, the tabernae that lined the main street, the gymnasium, the bouleuterion (which housed the meetings of the council and also doubled as a place for musical performances) as well as a temple dedicated to Domitian, the last emperor of the Flavian dynasty that followed after Nero’s disastrous reign.

Reading through the information boards, mostly after the fact (because I took pictures of them), I was tickled pink to learn that after the city was bequeathed to the Romans in 131BC, Marc Antony and Cleopatra spent a winter in the city to prepare for their campaign against Rome’s very first Emperor, Octavian (better known as Augustus). And as we students of history all know, the Battle of Actium didn’t quite go in the favour of our beloved star-crossed lovers.

During this period of Greek and Roman rule, Ephesus served as a major port on the Aegean Sea. Although the sea has apparently receded in more recent millennia, it was still fun to watch our tour guide re-enact how an old-timey merchant might have spent his time onshore after pulling into the harbour. I certainly ought to keep such city-building and planning in mind when creating my fantasy cities.

Ephesus also played host to possible pleasure houses opposite the impressive remains of the Library of Celsus. According to the information board, which I did not take a photo of (silly me), the ‘pleasure houses’ were terraced houses that contained certain objects that made archaeologists suspect that it was being used for more than just a roof over a resident’s head.

Since, of course, no time machine exists, we simply must make our best educated guess about the civilisations of the past. But for all we know, the ruins that we saw at Ephesus might just have been innocent terrace houses and we ought to stop suspecting the people of the past of committing such salacious deeds. Prostitution might be the oldest profession but well, it’s still up in the air whether this was the case at Ephesus.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that near the surrounds of Ephesus, there was a Temple dedicated to Artemis that was considered one of the Ancient Wonders of the World. As we drove to Ephesus, proper, there were columns along the side of the road that would have indicated the temple’s approximate location. Unfortunately, as explained in a previous post, a lot of the original material that was moved to Constantinople and used in the construction of the Hagia Sophia.

Talk about recycling!

Even with the advent of Christianity in the region, the city of Ephesus stood strong though there were a few changes, including the construction of churches and dedications to Jesus and his mother, Mary.

And while we did see a significant portion of the old city, around 80% of the city is still buried underground. Some can be seen poking through the surface but other remains are buried 8 metres under!

From Ephesus, we headed to a questionable cafeteria that employed a lot of oil in their food before we arrived in the small village of Sirence. Now, the significance of this little town was that it used to harbour a lot of Greeks in the area. As such, it was known for its wine and olive oil. As I walked down the streets, I cooed at crocheted dolls and was very tempted to purchase a number of cute adorable animal creations. In the end, however, I settled for getting a new leather wallet to replace my old Mickey Mouse one that I bought in America back in 2004.

From Sirence, we drove to Canakkale and checked into the Halic Park Hotel. Tomorrow is Troy and my body is ready to regale you all with the cliff notes version of the Iliad. And, of course, tell you about the most infamous horse of all time!

28th January >> Mass Readings (Except USA)

Saint Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Doctor

Saturday, Third Week in Ordinary Time.

Saturday, Third Week in Ordinary Time

(Liturgical Colour: White)

(Readings for the feria (Saturday))

(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Saturday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)

First Reading Hebrews 11:1-2,8-19 Abraham looked forward to a city founded, designed and built by God.

Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for, or prove the existence of the realities that at present remain unseen. It was for faith that our ancestors were commended.

It was by faith that Abraham obeyed the call to set out for a country that was the inheritance given to him and his descendants, and that he set out without knowing where he was going. By faith he arrived, as a foreigner, in the Promised Land, and lived there as if in a strange country, with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. They lived there in tents while he looked forward to a city founded, designed and built by God.

It was equally by faith that Sarah, in spite of being past the age, was made able to conceive, because she believed that he who had made the promise would be faithful to it. Because of this, there came from one man, and one who was already as good as dead himself, more descendants than could be counted, as many as the stars of heaven or the grains of sand on the seashore.

All these died in faith, before receiving any of the things that had been promised, but they saw them in the far distance and welcomed them, recognising that they were only strangers and nomads on earth. People who use such terms about themselves make it quite plain that they are in search of their real homeland. They can hardly have meant the country they came from, since they had the opportunity to go back to it; but in fact they were longing for a better homeland, their heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, since he has founded the city for them. It was by faith that Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He offered to sacrifice his only son even though the promises had been made to him and he had been told: It is through Isaac that your name will be carried on. He was confident that God had the power even to raise the dead; and so, figuratively speaking, he was given back Isaac from the dead.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Luke 1:69-75

R/ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! He has visited his people and redeemed them.

He has raised up for us a mighty saviour in the house of David his servant, as he promised by the lips of holy men, those who were his prophets from of old.

R/ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! He has visited his people and redeemed them.

A saviour who would free us from our foes, from the hands of all who hate us. So his love for our fathers is fulfilled and his holy covenant remembered.

R/ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! He has visited his people and redeemed them.

He swore to Abraham our father to grant us that free from fear, and saved from the hands of our foes, we might serve him in holiness and justice all the days of our life in his presence.

R/ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! He has visited his people and redeemed them.

Gospel Acclamation cf. Psalm 26:11

Alleluia, alleluia! Instruct me, Lord, in your way; on an even path lead me. Alleluia!

Or: John 3:16

Alleluia, alleluia! God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son: everyone who believes in him has eternal life. Alleluia!

Gospel Mark 4:35-41 'Even the wind and the sea obey him'.

With the coming of evening, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’ And leaving the crowd behind they took him, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him. Then it began to blow a gale and the waves were breaking into the boat so that it was almost swamped. But he was in the stern, his head on the cushion, asleep. They woke him and said to him, ‘Master, do you not care? We are going down!’ And he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Quiet now! Be calm!’ And the wind dropped, and all was calm again. Then he said to them, ‘Why are you so frightened? How is it that you have no faith?’ They were filled with awe and said to one another, ‘Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea obey him.’

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Doctor

(Liturgical Colour: White)

(Readings for the memorial)

(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Saturday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)

First Reading Wisdom 7:7-10,15-16 I esteemed Wisdom more than sceptres or thrones.

I prayed, and understanding was given me; I entreated, and the spirit of Wisdom came to me. I esteemed her more than sceptres and thrones; compared with her, I held riches as nothing. I reckoned no priceless stone to be her peer, for compared with her, all gold is a pinch of sand, and beside her silver ranks as mud. I loved her more than health or beauty, preferred her to the light, since her radiance never sleeps.

May God grant me to speak as he would wish and express thoughts worthy of his gifts, since he himself is the guide of Wisdom, since he directs the sages. We are indeed in his hand, we ourselves and our words, with all our understanding, too, and technical knowledge.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 118(119):9-14

R/ Lord, teach me your statutes.

How shall the young remain sinless? By obeying your word. I have sought you with all my heart; let me not stray from your commands.

R/ Lord, teach me your statutes.

I treasure your promise in my heart lest I sin against you. Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes.

R/ Lord, teach me your statutes.

With my tongue I have recounted the decrees of your lips. I rejoiced to do your will as though all riches were mine.

R/ Lord, teach me your statutes.

Gospel Acclamation Matthew 23:9,10

Alleluia, alleluia! You have only one Father, and he is in heaven; you have only one Teacher, the Christ. Alleluia!

Gospel Matthew 23:8-12 The greatest among you must be your servant.

Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You must not allow yourselves to be called Rabbi, since you have only one master, and you are all brothers. You must call no one on earth your father, since you have only one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor must you allow yourselves to be called teachers, for you have only one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest among you must be your servant. Anyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will exalted.’

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Happy Birthday Annie Cresta

Annie Cresta was born on July 28th, 56 A.D.D.

This day is more officially known as The Anniversary of Rebel Defeat but is more commonly known as Reaping Day.

July 28th, 59 A.D.D- Age 3

Adrina goes up on the stage, mommy’s crying. Annie doesn’t understand why everyone is so upset, especially on her birthday. But she never sees her big sister again, except in a strange wooden box about a month later.

July 28th, 62 A.D.D- Age 6

Ridley Zale is Annie’s favorite babysitter, she lets her eat taffy before dinner and lets Annie do her make-up. It makes Annie sad that Ridley has to go up on that stage, she doesn’t understand why people who go up there never come home, and she can’t help but feel scared of her birthday.

July 28th 65 A.D.D- Age 9

Aegir sings her happy birthday as he brushes her hair. Mommy died and can’t do it anymore but when her brother does it he pulls too hard. The Reaping takes place as normal but this time Annie knows why the people up on stage never come back.

July 28th 66 A.D.D- age 10

Annie cries as Aegir gets himself ready.

He tells her thats stupid. If he gets reaped she’ll have no one left to love her. Aegir doesn’t say anything to that, but he hopes harder that it’s not his name called.

# # #

Annie’s world shatters into a million pieces as Aegir’s name echoes around the square, but someone shouts and Aegir never steps foot on that scary stage. Instead a boy named Finnick, with sandy hair and green eyes, climbs the stairs, head held high, and this Finnick does come home, the youngest Victor in Hunger Games history according to the news reports.

July 28th 68 A.D.D- Age 12

Annie wakes up screaming at 5 o’clock in the morning. Images of cruel, slow deaths, threatening to rip her apart, her twelfth birthday bringing her first reaping. She picks up a badly wrapped gift from Aegir thats sits on the table as she slips out the door to her favorite hiding spot. She found this spot when she was 7, and comes here when she’s nervous. It usually helps her clear her mind. She wades into the water and welcomes the tightness in her chest as she goes under. Someone rips her out from the water. Finnick Odair thought she was drowning for how long she had been under.

# # #

Annie hardly notices her reaping after that. She couldn’t help but stare into the eyes of the 16-year-old victor who sits on stage. And by mid-October Finnick and Annie are best friends

July 28th 71 A.D.D- Age 15

Finnick gives her a shell bracelet and a kiss on the cheek for her 15th birthday. Aegir rolled his eyes and tells her that Finnick is too old for her.

She feels really pretty, in her white dress and sandals, with her brown hair flying freely around her shoulders. Her best friend Sayla bought her little sea glass clips that stand out like stars in the decorative braids that wrap around her head. Ms. Luna made her a cupcake. Annie is happy, the reaping is the last thing on her mind. She locks eyes with Finnick from on stage, he smiles wildly at her before the escort begins the Reaping, he’s gonna be a mentor this year.

# # #

Annie barely registers her name being called. A boy named Jonah joins her. She has never been on this stage before, she wishes she could have kept it that way.

# # #

She is dressed like a mermaid for the parade, she gets a 7 in training, her interview dress is pale blue. Her mentor, Mags, is an old woman. Finnick is never around, but when he is, he looks tired. The games start, Annie’s first kill is the girl from 7, her name was Nova, she was 13. Annie cried herself to sleep that night. The tributes from 1 and 2 don’t like her, but they like Jonah, and Annie and Jonoh are a package deal. Ten days in, Annie and Jonah break off from the others in the middle of the night. On day thirteen, Jonah’s head rolls at her feet. Annie screams and screams, part of her is never the same after that. The ground shakes and Annie welcomes the tightness in her chest as she goes under water. She was under so long people thought she was dead, but it was trumpets, not a cannon that follow Annie Cresta, the victor of the 70th Hunger Games.

# # #

Annie screams on stage when her games show up on the screen. This is not what The Capital wanted, Annie never sees Aegir ever again. The grey hair of her mentor and the green eyes of her friend try to comfort her. Annie throws her head back and laughs.

# # #

Annie stands up on the stage, Finnick is holding her hand. Her district claps. But there is no one in the world that loves her. Annie Cresta may have won, but once you go on that stage you never truly come home.

July 28th 73 A.D.D- Age 17

Mags is still in the hospital, Finnick is on his way to the capital. It’s funny how much time he spends there. He told Annie that he loved her, she laughed. He left her though, for that awful place, it’s funny how much he goes there.

July 28th 75 A.D.D- Age 19

Finnick wakes her up with a kiss on her nose. He stayed just for her. They go to the reaping and he holds her hand the whole way home. They pack a lunch and go to the cove. Mags watches as the two play in the water like small children. Annie has never felt so happy in her whole life. She loves Finnick and Finnick loves her, and not even the president can take that from her. This is the best birthday of her entire life.

# # #

The Quell is announced on January 2nd. Finnick locks himself in his room, Mags bakes 4 dozen cookies, Annie covers her ears and laughs like she’s never laughed before.

July 28th 76 A.D.D- Age 20

There are so few of them that they stand the Victors on the stage looking down at the rest of the district. Annie hears her name called, Mags volunteers before Annie has the chance to scream or cry or laugh. Finnick name is called and this time she drops to her knees and covers her ears. In one month, at least half of everyone who loves her will be dead and that isn’t even funny to Annie.

# # #

The poem moves everyone to tears. Finnick loves her. And she loves Finnick, but as he proclaims this the entire nation her tears are anything but warm.

# # #

The cannon echoes around her skull. Her old mentor falling to the ground in repeat in her mind. It had been Mags who held her when the world was the darkest. It had been Mags who taught her to make cookies. It had been Mags who battled Annie’s demons when Aegir seemed to vanish into thin air. It was Mags who combed Annie’s hair when Annie didn’t bother. It was Mags who let Annie move into a spare room in her house. It was Mags that she went to when Finnick was driving her up a wall. It was Mags who had seen her at her highest highs and lowest lows. It was Mags who insisted on doing everything on her own, even after she had her stroke. It was Mags who was the strongest, most powerful, loving person Annie had ever met. It was Mags who was dead. Not the blonde boy from 12, but Mags. Annie couldn’t even scream, she didn’t even laugh. She was just numb.

# # #

Annie pleads with the television. Finnick I’m safe. Finnick I’m fine. But he doesn’t hear her, he just runs through the jungle, looking for something he’ll never find, in a fashion that would make Crazy Annie Cresta look sane.

# # #

The arena explodes and Annie laughs. Take that Snow.

# # #

The peacekeepers knock on her door. She wakes up in the Capital. Annie has never screamed so loud in her whole life.

# # #

A boy with brown hair takes her and leads her to a hovercraft. When they land she hears him before she sees him. Finnick. Her Finnick, alive and well. The kiss is long and sweet. Annie’s head hasn’t felt this clear in 4 years.

# # #

She feels really pretty, in her white dress and sandals, with her brown hair flying freely around her shoulders. Tin clips, standing out like stars in the decorative braids that wrap around her head. Peeta made them a cake. Annie is happy, the war is the last thing on her mind. She locks eyes with Finnick from across their hands, he smiles wildly at her before the pastor begins the ceremony. Crazy Annie Cresta is dead. Annie Odair laughs from real joy, she’s never felt so safe.

# # #

Aegir Odair. That’s what she decides. Finnick is off in the capital, fighting the war, but he will like that, he will be happy to be a father. Annie hasn’t had an episode in two months. Maybe this baby will make things better. Maybe she will be a good mom.

# # #

She drops a vase when Gale tells her. He holds her as she screams, but it’s not the same.

Annie Cresta feels 15 all over again. Screaming her head off. Rocking back and forth. Fighting off the demons left to her by a poor dead boy. He is dead. The youngest Victor in Panam history. Her mentor. Her best friend. Her husband. Finnick Odair is dead. Finnick Odair will never know he’s a father. Finnick Odair will never meet his son. But that’s not why Annie cries. Annie cries because she will never again see his beautiful green eyes. She will never again hear his contagious laugh. She will never again be conformed by his strong hugs. So Annie screams, because there is no one left in the world that loves her.

July 28th 83 A.D.D- Age 27

Aegir has his mother's hair and his father's eyes. She smiles down at him as he sings her happy birthday. Her sweet little 7-year-old, with his missing front teeth. Annie Odair hasn’t had an episode in 5 years. Annie Odair is a good mother. Finnick Odair would have been proud. She may have lost her husband but she has never felt so much love in her whole life. Annie is happy.

Comida.

Durante la época en la que existió el Gran Imperio Británico, bajo la jurisdicción del reino también se encontraba la India. Al ser parte de la misma nación, se hizo más fácil el realizar comercios y viajes turísticos a esta zona, cuya característica principal en la preparación de platillos es el uso de gran cantidad de condimentos, en especial el curry. Esto causó una especie de inmersión; los platillos ingleses comenzaron a incorporar ciertas especias que antes no habían ni pensado probar.

Sheperd's Pie.

El Shepherd's Pie, una comida británica sana y clásica, tiene su origen en Escocia y el norte de Inglaterra y se elabora principalmente con carne de cordero picada y patatas. Muchas familias preparan este plato con carne de vacuno, pero en realidad debería llamarse Cottage Pie, ya que los pastores solo pastorean ovejas (duh).

Beef Wellington.

El Beef Wellington es un filete de carne recubierto de paté y luego enrollado en pasta. Aunque el plato comparte su nombre con el famoso Duque de Wellington, en realidad no tiene ningún vínculo con la nobleza británica. En realidad, se cree que el Beef Wellington se basó en el plato francés filet de bœuf en croûte (filete de ternera en hojaldre).

Fish and Chips.

Quizá no haya nada más sinónimo de comida británica que el fish and chips. Pero, por desgracia, este plato puede ser a menudo un poco decepcionante si no se consigue en el lugar adecuado. Un consejo importante es buscar tiendas de patatas fritas que cocinen el pescado fresco por encargo: ¡evite las tiendas de patatas fritas que muestren montones de pescado precocinado detrás del cristal!

Chicken Tikka Masala.

Aunque tenga raíces sudasiáticas, hay muchos indicios que sugieren que el Chicken Tikka Masala fue creado por primera vez en Gran Bretaña por un chef bangladeshí en Glasgow. Hoy en día, se considera uno de los platos más populares del país y se sirve en las casas de curry de toda Gran Bretaña.

Steak and Kidney Pie.

O cualquier tipo de tarta. Tanto si están cubiertas de masa como si están cubiertas de patatas, las tartas tienen un gran protagonismo en la cocina británica y son el antídoto perfecto para el duro invierno británico.

Eton Mess.

El Eton Mess es un postre perfecto para un día de verano, hecho con merengue, diversas bayas y nata. El plato se sirvió por primera vez en el Eton College a finales del siglo XIX en los partidos de cricket de la escuela y ahora es popular en toda Gran Bretaña.

Afternoon Tea.

Bollos, sándwiches, tarta y té: ¿qué podría ser mejor? Aunque los británicos tenemos fama de tomar el té de la tarde todos los días a las 5, eso es un mito. El té de la tarde es un placer poco común que se toma generalmente entre las 3 y las 4 de la tarde.

Cornish Pasty.

Las empanadillas de Cornualles, rellenas de carne y verduras, se hicieron populares por primera vez entre los mineros del estaño, ya que eran fáciles de transportar y se comían sin plato ni cubiertos. Hoy en día, la humilde empanada desempeña un papel importante en la cultura alimentaria británica. Incluso se cree que fue la inspiración de la empanada sudamericana.

English Full Breakfast.

También conocido como "fry-up", el desayuno completo se compone de huevos, bacon, salchichas, judías, tostadas, tomates y, a veces, morcilla. Este abundante desayuno es popular en toda Inglaterra, Irlanda, Escocia y Gales y suele consumirse el fin de semana. También hay variaciones regionales, con un "Full Scottish" servido con morcilla (salchicha/embutido de sangre) y "tattie scones".

Las pruebas como testigos Si uno mira el pasaje, es cierto, ¿cómo podemos medir nuestra fe, si no tenemos como probarla? El “instrumento” para medir nuestra fe, no es la altura de nuestras manos los domingos en la alabanza, ni la cantidad de versículos leídos en un año, tampoco son los testimonios de las batallas de otro, ni la cantidad de años sirviendo en la iglesia. La fe se mide “in situ”, es como una ergometría para chequear el corazón. No se puede “hacer como si”. En el caso del funcionamiento del corazón, hay que llevarlo a una situación de esfuerzo controlado (así se define la ergometría, ) por eso hay que pedalear hasta que el cuerpo llegue a un pico de esfuerzo. Los cables que nos conectan sirven, no solo para saber los resultados, sino también para vigilar durante el proceso cómo reacciona nuestro cuerpo. Es un esfuerzo controlado. Las pruebas son la ergometría de la fe. Quien controla el proceso, el esfuerzo, es Dios. El sabe hasta dónde podemos aguantar, y se ocupa de nuestra salud en el proceso. El pastor de Gales, Selwyn Hughes dice: «Los problemas son solo pruebas temporales que nos preparan para triunfos más permanentes». A veces se viven como eternos. Me pasó, de tener ganas de decirle al médico, “para, me bajo, desenchufa todo, no doy más!”. ¿a ti? Este pasaje viene a nuestro rescate. Es Dios diciéndonos, “Vamos, falta menos, la prueba está saliendo bien, yo tengo el control y cuando termine, tu fe será mejor y tus resultados más grandes y permanentes, no mires el suelo, mira adelante, es hacia ahí donde vamos, no te enfoques en donde estamos” Es un buen día para ponerse las zapatillas de correr. Dios está en control. No seremos vencidos, disfrutaremos la victoria, porque es suya, y entonces, nuestra. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMybdn2lYjzJuc0JTMzdZIJd_LMUjPg58WQez40/?igshid=1j0ck9k9hrido

That Ol' Devil Called Love

First part now up on Ao3!

It's 1940s America, and street racing has passed from the gangs of the '30s to the youth of the '40s. John never started the Bloody 100th to make a name for himself in the criminal belly of racing; he just liked their money. It kept the shop open and his mechanics from the unemployment line. And his ma and sisters happy.

But when he meets Gale Cleven, son of the local pastor who hates John and his crew with near religious fervour, John finds himself stumbling into a new kind of trouble - one that might just bring down everything he's worked for.

21st April >> Mass Readings (Except USA)

Wednesday, Third Week of Eastertide

Saint Anselm of Canterbury, Bishop, Doctor.

Wednesday, Third Week of Eastertide

(Liturgical Colour: White)

First Reading

Acts of the Apostles 8:1-8

They went from place to place, preaching the Good News

That day a bitter persecution started against the church in Jerusalem, and everyone except the apostles fled to the country districts of Judaea and Samaria.

There were some devout people, however, who buried Stephen and made great mourning for him.

Saul then worked for the total destruction of the Church; he went from house to house arresting both men and women and sending them to prison.

Those who had escaped went from place to place preaching the Good News. One of them was Philip who went to a Samaritan town and proclaimed the Christ to them. The people united in welcoming the message Philip preached, either because they had heard of the miracles he worked or because they saw them for themselves. There were, for example, unclean spirits that came shrieking out of many who were possessed, and several paralytics and cripples were cured. As a result there was great rejoicing in that town.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 65(66):1-7

R/ Cry out with joy to God, all the earth. or R/ Alleluia!

Cry out with joy to God all the earth, O sing to the glory of his name. O render him glorious praise. Say to God: ‘How tremendous your deeds!

R/ Cry out with joy to God, all the earth. or R/ Alleluia!

Because of the greatness of your strength your enemies cringe before you. Before you all the earth shall bow; shall sing to you, sing to your name!’

R/ Cry out with joy to God, all the earth. or R/ Alleluia!

Come and see the works of God, tremendous his deeds among men. He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the river dry-shod.

R/ Cry out with joy to God, all the earth. or R/ Alleluia!

Let our joy then be in him; he rules for ever by his might. His eyes keep watch over the nations: let rebels not rise against him.

R/ Cry out with joy to God, all the earth. or R/ Alleluia!

Gospel Acclamation

John 10:27

Alleluia, alleluia! The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice, says the Lord, I know them and they follow me. Alleluia!

Or:

cf.John6:40

Alleluia, alleluia! It is my Father’s will, says the Lord, that whoever believes in the Son shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him up on the last day. Alleluia!

Gospel

John 6:35-40

It is my Father's will that whoever sees the Son should have eternal life

Jesus said to the crowd:

‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be hungry; he who believes in me will never thirst. But, as I have told you, you can see me and still you do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I shall not turn him away; because I have come from heaven, not to do my own will, but to do the will of the one who sent me. Now the will of him who sent me is that I should lose nothing of all that he has given to me, and that I should raise it up on the last day. Yes, it is my Father’s will that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him up on the last day.’

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Saint Anselm of Canterbury, Bishop, Doctor

First Reading

Ephesians 3:14-19

May Christ live in your hearts through faith

I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes its name:

Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God.
