Saint Antony Mary Claret, Bishop, Founder (1807 – 1870)
White
He was born in 1807 and ordained priest in 1835. His uncompromising preaching raised hostility against him, and he suffered fifteen assassination attempts. He is the founder of the Claretians and supported in the foundation of other Institutes. He founded a great religious library and publishing house in Barcelona which published millions of cheap copies of ancient and modern Catholic works. In 1851 the Pope appointed him Bishop of Santiago de Cuba. Recalled to Spain in 1857 by Queen Isabella II to act as her confessor, he did further great work for the Church. In 1868, revolution caused him to go into exile in France, where he died in 1870.
Entrance Antiphon : Cf. Ps 16: 6, 8
To you I call; for you will surely heed me, O God; turn your ear to me; hear my words. Guard me as the apple of your eye; in the shadow of your wings protect me.
Collect
Almighty ever-living God, grant that we may always conform our will to yours and serve your majesty in sincerity of heart. 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.
First reading : Ephesians 3:14-21
This is what 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. Glory be to him whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine; glory be to him from generation to generation in the Church and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 32:1
2,4-5,11-12,18-19
R/ The Lord fills the earth with his love.
Ring out your joy to the Lord, O you just; for praise is fitting for loyal hearts. Give thanks to the Lord upon the harp, with a ten-stringed lute sing him songs.
For the word of the Lord is faithful and all his works to be trusted. The Lord loves justice and right and fills the earth with his love.
His own designs shall stand for ever, the plans of his heart from age to age. They are happy, whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as his own.
The Lord looks on those who revere him, on those who hope in his love, to rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine.
Gospel Acclamation : Jn8:12
Alleluia, alleluia! I am the light of the world, says the Lord; anyone who follows me will have the light of life. Alleluia!
Gospel : Luke 12:49-53
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already! There is a baptism I must still receive, and how great is my distress till it is over! ‘Do you suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on a household of five will be divided: three against two and two against three; the father divided against the son, son against father, mother against daughter, daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’
Prayer over the Offerings
Grant us, Lord, we pray, a sincere respect for your gifts, that, through the purifying action of your grace, we may be cleansed by the very mysteries we serve. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon : Cf. Ps 32: 18-19
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, who hope in his merciful love, to rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine.
Prayer after Communion
Grant, O Lord, we pray, that, benefiting from participation in heavenly things, we may be helped by what you give in this present age and prepared for the gifts that are eternal. Through Christ our Lord.
Meditation
Jesus promises to bring fire to the earth. In the imagery of the Old Testament, fire is a symbol of God’s powerful presence: we remember Moses at the burning bush, the pillar of fire that accompanied the Israelites by night as they wandered through the desert to the Promised Land, as well as the tongues of fire that hovered over the disciples at Pentecost. The fire that came at Pentecost is a fire that burns people’s hearts and draws them to change the direction of their lives. For Jesus’ wish to be fulfilled, we must play our part in helping to spread some of that fire of God’s love everywhere. One of our baptismal commitments is being messengers of God’s love. Jesus refers to a baptism which is his immersion in the terrible suffering and death by which we will be liberated. He also spoke of division which seems to contradict his identity as Prince of Peace. But no. After his death, we have been witnesses of persecution even today and tensions over our practice of the faith. But only those who hold firm with him to the end shall see his saving power.

Saint JEAN DE CAPISTRAN, Prêtre
vert/blanc
Gouverneur de Pérouse, Jean a 30 ans quand il entre chez les Franciscains. Prêtre en 1425, il parcourt l’Europe, y propageant la dévotion au Nom de Jésus. Il prêche la croisade qui enraye les progrès des Turcs, battus à Belgrade en 1456. Auparavant, il avait été au Concile de Florence où il avait amené les Arméniens en vue de l’union des Eglises séparées. A cette unité de l’Eglise, compromise par le grand schisme d’Occident, il travailla toute sa vie.
Antienne d’ouverture : Ps 16, 6 .8
Je t’appelle, mon Dieu, car tu peux me répondre. Écoute-moi! Entends ce que je dis. Garde-moi comme la prunelle de l’œil; sois mon abri, protège-moi.
Prière d’ouverture
Dieu éternel et tout-puissant, Fais-nous toujours vouloir ce que tu veux et servir ta gloire d’un cœur sans partage. Par Jésus Christ.
1ère lecture : Ep 3, 2-12
Frères, vous avez appris, je pense, en quoi consiste la grâce que Dieu m’a donnée pour vous : par révélation, il m’a fait connaître le mystère, comme je vous l’ai déjà écrit brièvement. En me lisant, vous pouvez vous rendre compte de l’intelligence que j’ai du mystère du Christ. Ce mystère n’avait pas été porté à la connaissance des hommes des générations passées, comme il a été révélé maintenant à ses saints Apôtres et aux prophètes, dans l’Esprit. Ce mystère, c’est que toutes les nations sont associées au même héritage, au même corps, au partage de la même promesse, dans le Christ Jésus,par l’annonce de l’Évangile. De cet Évangile je suis devenu ministre par le don de la grâce que Dieu m’a accordée par l’énergie de sa puissance. À moi qui suis vraiment le plus petit de tous les fidèles, la grâce a été donnée d’annoncer aux nations l’insondable richesse du Christ, et de mettre en lumière pour tous le contenu du mystère qui était caché depuis toujours en Dieu, le créateur de toutes choses ; ainsi, désormais, les Puissances célestes elles-mêmes connaissent, grâce à l’Église, les multiples aspects de la Sagesse de Dieu. C’est le projet éternel que Dieu a réalisé dans le Christ Jésus notre Seigneur. Et notre foi au Christ nous donne l’assurance nécessaire pour accéder auprès de Dieu en toute confiance.
Cantique : Is 12, 2, 4bcde-5a, 5bc-6
R/Exultant de joie, vous puiserez les eaux aux sources du salut !
Voici le Dieu qui me sauve : j’ai confiance, je n’ai plus de crainte. Ma force et mon chant, c’est le Seigneur ; il est pour moi le salut.
Rendez grâce au Seigneur, proclamez son nom, annoncez parmi les peuples ses hauts faits ! Redites-le : « Sublime est son nom ! » Jouez pour le Seigneur.
Il montre sa magnificence, et toute la terre le sait. Jubilez, criez de joie, habitants de Sion, car il est grand au milieu de toi, le Saint d’Israël !
Acclamation
Alléluia. Alléluia ! Veillez, tenez-vous prêts : c’est à l’heure où vous n’y penserez pas que le Fils de l’homme viendra. Alléluia ! (cf. Mt 24, 42a.44)
Évangile : Lc 12, 39-48
En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples : « Vous le savez bien : si le maître de maison avait su à quelle heure le voleur viendrait, il n’aurait pas laissé percer le mur de sa maison. Vous aussi, tenez-vous prêts : c’est à l’heure où vous n’y penserez pas que le Fils de l’homme viendra. » Pierre dit alors : « Seigneur, est-ce pour nous que tu dis cette parabole, ou bien pour tous ? » Le Seigneur répondit : « Que dire de l’intendant fidèle et sensé à qui le maître confiera la charge de son personnel pour distribuer, en temps voulu, la ration de nourriture ? Heureux ce serviteur que son maître, en arrivant, trouvera en train d’agir ainsi ! Vraiment, je vous le déclare : il l’établira sur tous ses biens. Mais si le serviteur se dit en lui-même : “Mon maître tarde à venir”, et s’il se met à frapper les serviteurs et les servantes, à manger, à boire et à s’enivrer, alors quand le maître viendra, le jour où son serviteur ne s’y attend pas et à l’heure qu’il ne connaît pas, il l’écartera et lui fera partager le sort des infidèles. Le serviteur qui, connaissant la volonté de son maître, n’a rien préparé et n’a pas accompli cette volonté, recevra un grand nombre de coups. Mais celui qui ne la connaissait pas, et qui a mérité des coups pour sa conduite, n’en recevra qu’un petit nombre. À qui l’on a beaucoup donné, on demandera beaucoup ;à qui l’on a beaucoup confié, on réclamera davantage. »
Prière sur les offrandes
Accorde-nous, Seigneur, de te servir à cet autel en toute liberté d’esprit. Ainsi ta grâce pourra nous purifier dans le mystère que nous célébrons. Par Jésus.
Antienne de communion : Ps 32, 18-19
Le Seigneur veille sur ceux qui le craignent, sur ceux qui espèrent son amour, pour les préserver de la mort, les garder en vie aux jours de famine.
Prière après la communion
Seigneur, fais-nous trouver des forces neuves dans cette communion aux réalités du ciel. Assure-nous tes bienfaits ici-bas et instruis-nous des richesses de ton Royaume. Par Jésus.
Méditation La parabole de l’Evangile de ce jour a pour ressort un adage juif, avant que Dieu ne confère la grandeur à un homme, il l’éprouve déjà par une petite chose, avant de lui faire accéder à la grandeur. La vie de l’Eglise est celle de l’intendance des grâces de Dieu à partir de la parole de Dieu et des sacrements qu’elle célèbre. La mission de l’Eglise dans le monde est d’introduire l’homme dans la félicité de Dieu chaque jour. Le chrétien doit savoir saisir l’espérance qui lui est proposée temps présent dans la parole de Dieu et le vécu des sacrements comme une voie privilégiee pour accéder au Royaume de Dieu qui est déjà là. S’il est vrai que nous avons la grâce d’écouter Evangelium au quotidien, nous sommes invités à interroger la transformation que cette écoute apporte à nos vies toujours en processus de conversion.

First reading : Ephesians 3:2-12
You have probably heard how I have been entrusted by God with the grace he meant for you, and that it was by a revelation that I was given the knowledge of the mystery, as I have just described it very shortly. If you read my word you will have some idea of the depths that I see in the mystery of Christ. This that has now been revealed through the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets was unknown to any men in past generations; it means that pagans now share the same inheritance, that they are parts of the same body, and that the same promise has been made to them, in Jesus Christ, through the Gospel. I have been made the servant of that Gospel by a gift of grace from God who gave it to me by his own power. I, who am less than the least of all the saints have been entrusted with this special grace, not only of proclaiming to the pagans the infinite treasure of Christ but also of explaining how the mystery is to be dispensed. Through all the ages, this has been kept hidden in God, the creator of everything. Why? So that the Sovereignties and Powers should learn only now, through the Church, how comprehensive God’s wisdom really is, exactly according to the plan which he had had from all eternity in Christ Jesus our Lord. This is why we are bold enough to approach God in complete confidence, through our faith in him.
Canticle : Isaiah 12
R/ With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
Truly, God is my salvation, I trust, I shall not fear. For the Lord is my strength, my song, he became my saviour. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
Give thanks to the Lord, give praise to his name! Make his mighty deeds known to the peoples! Declare the greatness of his name.
Sing a psalm to the Lord for he has done glorious deeds; make them known to all the earth! People of Zion, sing and shout for joy, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
Gospel Acclamation : Jn10:27
Alleluia, alleluia! The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice, says the Lord, I know them and they follow me. Alleluia!
Gospel : Luke 12:39-48
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what hour the burglar would come, he would not have let anyone break through the wall of his house. You too must stand ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.’ Peter said, ‘Lord, do you mean this parable for us, or for everyone?’ The Lord replied, ‘What sort of steward, then, is faithful and wise enough for the master to place him over his household to give them their allowance of food at the proper time? Happy that servant if his master’s arrival finds him at this employment. I tell you truly, he will place him over everything he owns. But as for the servant who says to himself, “My master is taking his time coming,” and sets about beating the menservants and the maids, and eating and drinking and getting drunk, his master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know. The master will cut him off and send him to the same fate as the unfaithful. The servant who knows what his master wants, but has not even started to carry out those wishes, will receive very many strokes of the lash. The one who did not know, but deserves to be beaten for what he has done, will receive fewer strokes. When a man has had a great deal given him, a great deal will be demanded of him; when a man has had a great deal given him on trust, even more will be expected of him.’
Prayer over the Offerings
Grant us, Lord, we pray, a sincere respect for your gifts, that, through the purifying action of your grace, we may be cleansed by the very mysteries we serve. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon : Cf. Ps 32: 18-19
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, who hope in his merciful love, to rescue their souls from death, to keep them alive in famine.
Prayer after Communion
Grant, O Lord, we pray, that, benefiting from participation in heavenly things, we may be helped by what you give in this present age and prepared for the gifts that are eternal. Through Christ our Lord.
Meditation
The analogy of the thief in the night teaches us that we should always be faithful to God. The Lord loves faithfulness and richly rewards those who are faithful to him. What is faithfulness? It is keeping one’s word, promise, and commitment, no matter how tough. It is being who we are and are expected to be all the time, whether someone is seeing us or not. Faithfulness is a key character trait of God and one that he expects of us. God gives us the grace and strength to remain faithful. He also rewards faithfulness. The joy and privilege of being a son or daughter of God carries a tremendous responsibility. The Lord expects us to make good use of the gifts and graces he gives to us. The more he gives, the more he requires. While the Master is away, there is a tendency to put off for tomorrow what we know the Master expects us to do today! Are you faithful to God and ready to give him an account of your stewardship whenever he requests?

Pope Saint John Paul II
(1920-2005)
Green/White
He became in 1964, Archbishop of Kraków and took part in the Second Vatican Council. On 16 October 1978 he was elected pope and took the name John Paul II.

First reading: Ephesians 2:12-22
Do not forget that you had no Christ and were excluded from membership of Israel, aliens with no part in the covenants with their Promise; you were immersed in this world, without hope and without God. But now in Christ Jesus, you that used to be so far apart from us have been brought very close, by the blood of Christ. For he is the peace between us, and has made the two into one and broken down the barrier which used to keep them apart, actually destroying in his own person the hostility caused by the rules and decrees of the Law. This was to create one single New Man in himself out of the two of them and by restoring peace through the cross, to unite them both in a single Body and reconcile them with God: in his own person he killed the hostility. Later he came to bring the good news of peace, peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near at hand. Through him, both of us have in the one Spirit our way to come to the Father. So you are no longer aliens or foreign visitors: you are citizens like all the saints, and part of God’s household. You are part of a building that has the apostles and prophets for its foundations, and Christ Jesus himself for its main cornerstone. As every structure is aligned on him, all grow into one holy temple in the Lord; and you too, in him, are being built into a house where God lives, in the Spirit.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm
84(85):9-14
R/ The Lord speaks peace to his people.
I will hear what the Lord God has to say, a voice that speaks of peace. His help is near for those who fear him and his glory will dwell in our land.
Mercy and faithfulness have met; justice and peace have embraced. Faithfulness shall spring from the earth and justice look down from heaven.
The Lord will make us prosper and our earth shall yield its fruit. Justice shall march before him and peace shall follow his steps.
Gospel Acclamation: cf.Lk8:15
Alleluia, alleluia! Blessed are those who, with a noble and generous heart, take the word of God to themselves and yield a harvest through their perseverance. Alleluia!
Gospel: Luke 12:36-38
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘See that you are dressed for action and have your lamps lit. Be like men waiting for their master to return from the wedding feast, ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks. Happy those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. I tell you solemnly, he will put on an apron, sit them down at table and wait on them. It may be in the second watch he comes, or in the third, but happy those servants if he finds them ready.’

Prayer after Communion

Meditation
When the question of readiness arises, one may be tempted to think or say, ‘‘I am still very young’’, ‘‘I still have a long way to go’’. But the question remains: Are you ready? This could be in reference to beginning a new job, preparing for a journey or even welcoming a newborn into the family. What are we to expect? The best advice to new parents is this: “Expect the unexpected.” In this way, they can avoid disappointments. Today’sToday’s Gospel puts us in the same position as the servants waiting for their master’smaster’s return. Their lamps are kept burning, food is reserved, and they are all set to serve their master as they have always done. What does Jesus expect to find us doing when he comes? He would love to find a student studying, a civil servant going about his job and find each person alert. So, do all you can to be ready to carry out your responsibilities today. Do everything possible to obey God’s commands, forgive those who offend you and love those who need your love.

Saint Jean-Paul II, Pape
Sainte Elodie
vert/blanc
Karol Wojtyła (1920-2005) est né en Pologne. Ordonné prêtre, il devient évêque, puis archevêque de Cracovie. Élu pape en 1978 sous le nom de Jean-Paul II.
Antienne d’ouverture : Ps 16, 6 .8
Je t’appelle, mon Dieu, car tu peux me répondre. Écoute-moi! Entends ce que je dis. Garde-moi comme la prunelle de l’œil; sois mon abri, protège-moi.
Prière d’ouverture
Dieu éternel et tout-puissant, fais-nous toujours vouloir ce que tu veux et servir ta gloire d’un cœur sans partage. Par Jésus Christ.
1ère lecture : Ephésiens 2, 12-22
Frères, au temps où vous étiez païens, vous n’aviez pas le Christ,
vous n’aviez pas droit de cité avec Israël, vous étiez étrangers aux alliances et à la promesse, vous n’aviez pas d’espérance et, dans le monde, vous étiez sans Dieu. Mais maintenant, dans le Christ Jésus, vous qui autrefois étiez loin, vous êtes devenus proches par le sang du Christ. C’est lui, le Christ, qui est notre paix : des deux, le Juif et le païen, il a fait une seule réalité ; par sa chair crucifiée, il a détruit ce qui les séparait, le mur de la haine ; il a supprimé les prescriptions juridiques de la loi de Moïse.
Ainsi, à partir des deux, le Juif et le païen, il a voulu créer en lui un seul Homme nouveau en faisant la paix, et réconcilier avec Dieu les uns et les autres en un seul corps par le moyen de la croix ; en sa personne, il a tué la haine. Il est venu annoncer la bonne nouvelle de la paix, la paix pour vous qui étiez loin, la paix pour ceux qui étaient proches. Par lui, en effet, les uns et les autres, nous avons, dans un seul Esprit, accès auprès du Père. Ainsi donc, vous n’êtes plus des étrangers ni des gens de passage, vous êtes concitoyens des saints, vous êtes membres de la famille de Dieu, car vous avez été intégrés dans la construction qui a pour fondations les Apôtres et les prophètes ; et la pierre angulaire, c’est le Christ Jésus lui-même. En lui, toute la construction s’élève harmonieusement pour devenir un temple saint dans le Seigneur. En lui, vous êtes, vous aussi, les éléments d’une même construction pour devenir une demeure de Dieu par l’Esprit Saint.
Psaume : 84 (85), 9-14
R/ Ce que dit le Seigneur, c’est la paix, la paix pour son peuple. (cf. Ps 84, 9b)
J’écoute : que dira le Seigneur Dieu ? Ce qu’il dit, c’est la paix pour son peuple et ses fidèles ! Son salut est proche de ceux qui le craignent, et la gloire habitera notre terre.
Amour et vérité se rencontrent, justice et paix s’embrassent ; la vérité germera de la terre et du ciel se penchera la justice.
Le Seigneur donnera ses bienfaits, et notre terre donnera son fruit. La justice marchera devant lui, et ses pas traceront le chemin.
Acclamation : cf. Lc 8, 15
Alléluia. Alléluia. Restez éveillés et priez en tout temps : ainsi vous pourrez tenir debout devant le Fils de l’homme. Alléluia.

En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples : « Restez en tenue de service, votre ceinture autour des reins, et vos lampes allumées. Soyez comme des gens qui attendent leur maître à son retour des noces, pour lui ouvrir dès qu’il arrivera et frappera à la porte Heureux ces serviteurs-là que le maître, à son arrivée, trouvera en train de veiller. Amen, je vous le dis : c’est lui qui, la ceinture autour des reins,
les fera prendre place à table et passera pour les servir. S’il revient vers minuit ou vers trois heures du matin et qu’il les trouve ainsi,
heureux sont-ils ! »

Méditatrion
Le Christ nous demande d’être comme des serviteurs vigilants qui attendent le retour de leur maître. Que toute notre vie soit portée par cette attente ! Veiller : n’est-ce pas, entre autres, voir chaque situation de notre vie ouverte vers le Christ, ne pas oublier que de lui nous vient l’accomplissement de toutes nos paroles et de tous nos actes ? Lui seul aura le dernier mot pour dire le sens de tout ce que nous aurons vécu. Jésus nous dit que lors de son retour, quelque chose d’inattendu se passera: le maître servira les serviteurs. L’amour de Dieu dépasse tout ce que nous pouvons imaginer, même les espoirs les plus intimes de notre cœur. Il est inattendu pour le cœur de l’homme que Dieu se fasse serviteur. Et pourtant, par toute sa vie, le Christ nous presse d’y croire, pour pressentir déjà la joie du Royaume.
