Saint Philippe Néri, prêtre
Débordant de joie et d’imagination, inventant des formes d’action inattendues, Philippe Néri (1515-1595) exerce sur les jeunes, puis sur les moins jeunes, un ascendant irrésistible. Il a un cœur vibrant d’amour pour Dieu et pour les pauvres. Une communauté se forme autour de lui dans la liberté, la joie et la ferveur : c’est le premier Oratoire, amorce de la congrégation du même nom. Par son originalité, ‘’le plus italien de tous les saints’’ nous rappelle que la sainteté échappe à toutes les règles humaines et ne dépend que de l’Esprit.
Antienne d’ouverture :
«Je suis le Premier et le Dernier, je suis le Vivant, dit le Seigneur, j’étais mort, et me voici vivant pour les siècles », alléluia
Prière d’ouverture :
Dieu de puissance et de miséricorde, nous te supplions d’envoyer ton Esprit : qu’il habite nos cœurs, et fasse de nous le temple de sa gloire. Par Jésus Christ.
1ère lecture : Ac 20, 17-27
En ces jours-là, depuis Milet, Paul envoya un message à Éphèse pour convoquer les Anciens de cette Église. Quand ils furent arrivés auprès de lui, il leur adressa la parole : « Vous savez comment je me suis toujours comporté avec vous, depuis le premier jour où j’ai mis le pied en Asie : j’ai servi le Seigneur en toute humilité, dans les larmes et les épreuves que m’ont values les complots des Juifs ; je n’ai rien négligé de ce qui était utile, pour vous annoncer l’Évangile et vous donner un enseignement en public ou de maison en maison. Je rendais témoignage devant Juifs et Grecs pour qu’ils se convertissent à Dieu et croient en notre Seigneur Jésus. Et maintenant, voici que je suis contraint par l’Esprit de me rendre à Jérusalem, sans savoir ce qui va m’arriver là-bas. Je sais seulement que l’Esprit Saint témoigne, de ville en ville, que les chaînes et les épreuves m’attendent. Mais en aucun cas, je n’accorde du prix à ma vie, pourvu que j’achève ma course et le ministère que j’ai reçu du Seigneur Jésus : rendre témoignage à l’évangile de la grâce de Dieu. Et maintenant, je sais que vous ne reverrez plus mon visage, vous tous chez qui je suis passé en proclamant le Royaume. C’est pourquoi j’atteste aujourd’hui devant vous que je suis pur du sang de tous, car je n’ai rien négligé pour vous annoncer tout le dessein de Dieu. »
Psaume : 67 (68), 10-11, 20-21
R/ Royaumes de la terre, chantez pour le Seigneur.
1. Tu répandais sur ton héritage une pluie généreuse, et quand il défaillait, toi, tu le soutenais. Sur les lieux où campait ton troupeau, tu le soutenais, Dieu qui es bon pour le pauvre.
2. Que le Seigneur soit béni ! Jour après jour, ce Dieu nous accorde la victoire. Le Dieu qui est le nôtre est le Dieu des victoires, et les portes de la mort sont à Dieu, le Seigneur.
Acclamation :
Alléluia. Alléluia. Moi, je prierai le Père, et il vous donnera un autre Défenseur qui sera pour toujours avec vous. Alléluia.
Evangile : Jn 17, 1-11a
En ce temps-là, Jésus leva les yeux au ciel et dit : « Père, l’heure est venue. Glorifie ton Fils afin que le Fils te glorifie. Ainsi, comme tu lui as donné pouvoir sur tout être de chair, il donnera la vie éternelle à tous ceux que tu lui as donnés. Or, la vie éternelle, c’est qu’ils te connaissent, toi le seul vrai Dieu, et celui que tu as envoyé, Jésus Christ. Moi, je t’ai glorifié sur la terre en accomplissant l’œuvre que tu m’avais donnée à faire. Et maintenant, glorifie-moi auprès de toi, Père, de la gloire que j’avais auprès de toi avant que le monde existe. J’ai manifesté ton nom aux hommes que tu as pris dans le monde pour me les donner. Ils étaient à toi, tu me les as donnés, et ils ont gardé ta parole. Maintenant, ils ont reconnuque tout ce que tu m’as donné vient de toi, car je leur ai donné les paroles que tu m’avais données : ils les ont reçues, ils ont vraiment reconnu que je suis sorti de toi, et ils ont cru que tu m’as envoyé. Moi, je prie pour eux ; ce n’est pas pour le monde que je prie, mais pour ceux que tu m’as donnés, car ils sont à toi. Tout ce qui est à moi est à toi, et ce qui est à toi est à moi ; et je suis glorifié en eux. Désormais, je ne suis plus dans le monde ; eux, ils sont dans le monde, et moi, je viens vers toi. »
Prière sur les offrandes :
Avec ces offrandes, Seigneur, reçois les prières de tes fidèles; Que cette liturgie célébrée avec amour nous fasse passer à la gloire du ciel. Par Jésus.

Pope St. Gregory VII (1020 – 1085)
He was born in Tuscany. He became a monk, and assisted several Popes in reforming and purifying the Church. He was elected pope in 1073 and took the name of Gregory VII. He fought single-mindedly to free the Church from harmful influences and dependence on the state.
White
Entrance Antiphon: Acts 1: 8
You will receive the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and you will be my witnesses, even to the ends of the earth, alleluia.
Collect
May the power of the Holy Spirit come to us, we pray, O Lord, that we may keep your will faithfully in mind and express it in a devout way of 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.
First reading: Acts 19:1-8
While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul made his way overland as far as Ephesus, where he found a number of disciples. When he asked, ‘Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?’ they answered, ‘No, we were never even told there was such a thing as a Holy Spirit.’ ‘Then how were you baptised?’ he asked. ‘With John’s baptism’ they replied. ‘John’s baptism’ said Paul ‘was a baptism of repentance; but he insisted that the people should believe in the one who was to come after him – in other words, Jesus.’ When they heard this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus, and the moment Paul had laid hands on them the Holy Spirit came down on them, and they began to speak with tongues and to prophesy. There were about twelve of these men. He began by going to the synagogue, where he spoke out boldly and argued persuasively about the kingdom of God. He did this for three months.
Psalm 67(68):2-7
R/ Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God.
- Let God arise, let his foes be scattered. Let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is blown away so will they be blown away; like wax that melts before the fire, so the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
- But the just shall rejoice at the presence of God, they shall exult and dance for joy. O sing to the Lord, make music to his name; rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence.
- Father of the orphan, defender of the widow, such is God in his holy place. God gives the lonely a home to live in; he leads the prisoners forth into freedom.
Gospel Acclamation: Jn16:28
Alleluia, alleluia! I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I leave the world to go to the Father. Alleluia!
Gospel: John 16:29-33
His disciples said to Jesus, ‘Now you are speaking plainly and not using metaphors! Now we see that you know everything, and do not have to wait for questions to be put into words; because of this we believe that you came from God.’ Jesus answered them: ‘Do you believe at last? Listen; the time will come – in fact it has come already – when you will be scattered, each going his own way and leaving me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. I have told you all this so that you may find peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but be brave: I have conquered the world.’
Prayer over the Offerings
May this unblemished sacrifice purify us, O Lord, and impart to our minds the force of grace from on high. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon: Jn 14: 18; 16: 22
I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord; I will come to you again, and your heart will rejoice, alleluia.
Prayer after Communion
Graciously be present to your people, we pray, O Lord, and lead those you have imbued with heavenly mysteries to pass from former ways to newness of life. Through Christ our Lord.
Meditation
Jesus always spent more time explaining his doctrine in detail to his apostles than preaching to the crowd, in order to train them for their mission of preaching the gospel to the whole world. However, he also used metaphors or parables when imparting instructions to his apostles. He stimulated their curiosity, and when they did not understand they asked him questions. Jesus could see the doubt the disciples had; they felt they would not be able to cope with the challenges they would soon be facing, and that they would be scattered in all directions. He tells them not to be discouraged. He reassures them of God’s strength and encourages them to be at peace, for he has overcome the world too. Lord, let me learn comfort from your patience with your disciples.

First reading: 2 Kings 24:8-17
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem. He did what is displeasing to the Lord, just as his father had done. At that time the troops of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched on Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon himself came to attack the city while his troops were besieging it. Then Jehoiachin king of Judah surrendered to the king of Babylon, he, his mother, his officers, his nobles and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon took them prisoner. This was in the eighth year of King Nebuchadnezzar. The latter carried off all the treasures of the Temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace, and broke up all the golden furnishings that Solomon king of Israel had made for the sanctuary of the Lord, as the Lord had foretold. He carried off all Jerusalem into exile, all the nobles and all the notables, ten thousand of these were exiled, with all the blacksmiths and metalworkers; only the poorest people in the country were left behind. He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, as also the king’s mother, his eunuchs and the nobility of the country; he made them all leave Jerusalem for exile in Babylon. All the men of distinction, seven thousand of them, the blacksmiths and metalworkers, one thousand of them, all of them men capable of bearing arms, were led into exile in Babylon by the king of Babylon. The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in succession to him, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Psalm 78(79):1-5,8-9
R/ Rescue us, O Lord, for the glory of your name.
- O God, the nations have invaded your land, they have profaned your holy temple. They have made Jerusalem a heap of ruins. They have handed over the bodies of your servants as food to feed the birds of heaven and the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the earth.
- They have poured out blood like water in Jerusalem; no one is left to bury the dead. We have become the taunt of our neighbours, the mockery and scorn of those who surround us. How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever; how long will your anger burn like fire?
- Do not hold the guilt of our fathers against us. Let your compassion hasten to meet us; we are left in the depths of distress.
- O God our saviour, come to our help. Come for the sake of the glory of your name. O Lord our God, forgive us our sins; rescue us for the sake of your name.
Gospel Acclamation: Heb4:12
Alleluia, alleluia! The word of God is something alive and active: it can judge secret emotions and thoughts. Alleluia!
Gospel: Matthew 7:21-29
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘It is not those who say to me, “Lord, Lord,” who will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven. When the day comes many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name, work many miracles in your name?” Then I shall tell them to their faces: I have never known you; away from me, you evil men! ‘Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock. But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!’ Jesus had now finished what he wanted to say, and his teaching made a deep impression on the people because he taught them with authority, and not like their own scribes.
Prayer over the Offerings
Receive, O Lord, the sacrifice of conciliation and praise and grant that, cleansed by its action, we may make offering of a heart pleasing to you. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon: Ps 144: 15
The eyes of all look to you, Lord, and you give them their food in due season.
Prayer after Communion
Renewed and nourished by the Sacred Body and Precious Blood of your Son, we ask of your mercy, O Lord, that what we celebrate with constant devotion may be our sure pledge of redemption. Through Christ our Lord.
Meditation
Today marks the last day of Jesus’ teaching on the Sermon on the Mount and he spells out the essential quality of the true disciple. It is not enough just to say: “Lord, Lord…” A true disciple is someone who is totally united to God in heart, mind and soul. As we can remember, when someone in the crowd shouted, “happy the womb that bore you…” and Jesus replied: “Rather, blessed are those who listen to the word of God and put it into practice.” Jesus taught them with authority and not like the Pharisees. Jesus’ words made a deep impression on them because his words resulted from an experience of God and from his total dedication to do the will of the Father. The final part evokes the image of God as the rock as Psalm 18 says: “The Lord is my rock and my fortress…” Those who trust in God can be a rock for others on the journey through life amidst its trials and tribulations. Jesus builds his church on rock when he said to Peter, “You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church.” Those who listen to God’s voice, like in the first communities, become a living rock, they listen and practice the Word.

Saint Bède le Vénérable, prêtre et docteur de l’Eglise
Le ‘’Père de l’histoire d’Angleterre’’ fut d’abord un passionné de la parole de Dieu. Moine bénédictin à Wearmouth, puis dans la fondation de Jarrow, Bède (673-735) écrivit des commentaires de la Bible dans le style et avec la saveur des Pères de l’Eglise il passa toute sa vie dans la retraite du cloître, fidèle à la prière liturgique, travailleur intellectuel acharné, mais disponible aussi pour les tâches les plus humbles au service de sa communauté. Celui que Newman appelle ‘’le type du bénédictin’’ mourut en chantant le ‘’Gloire au Père’’.
Saint Grégoire VII, pape
Hildebrand (vers 1028-1085), d’abord moine bénédictin, puis abbé de Saint-Paul à Rome, fut le conseiller de six papes avant de devenir pape lui-même en 1073 sous le nom de Grégoire VII. Il est célèbre par la réforme morale de l’Eglise et, en particulier, du clergé, à laquelle son nom est attaché. Mais la ‘’réforme grégorienne’’ fut aussi un effort pour libérer l’Eglise de la mainmise des princes. Interprétant la supériorité du spirituel sur le temporel comme une supériorité politique, il déposa l’empereur Henri IV. Celui-ci vint se soumettre à Canossa, mais pour peu de temps. Grégoire mourut en exil à Salerne.
Sainte Marie-Madeleine de Pazzi, vierge
Marie-Madeleine (1566-1607) vécut vingt-cinq ans au Carmel de Florence, en proie à de cruelles maladies et à de lourdes épreuves spirituelles, qu’elle supporta grâce à la force puisée dans l’eucharistie. Avant de rejoindre par la mort Celui qu’elle attendait, elle supplia ses sœurs de ‘’n’aimer que le Seigneur, de mettre en lui toute leur espérance, de souffrir pour son amour’’.

Lectures de la messe
Première lecture (Ac 19, 1-8)
Pendant qu’Apollos était à Corinthe, Paul traversait le haut pays ; il arriva à Éphèse, où il trouva quelques disciples. Il leur demanda : « Lorsque vous êtes devenus croyants, avez-vous reçu l’Esprit Saint ? » Ils lui répondirent : « Nous n’avons même pas entendu dire qu’il y a un Esprit Saint. » Paul reprit : « Quel baptême avez-vous donc reçu ? » Ils répondirent : « Celui de Jean le Baptiste. » Paul dit alors : « Jean donnait un baptême de conversion : il disait au peuple de croire en celui qui devait venir après lui, c’est-à-dire en Jésus. » Après l’avoir entendu, ils se firent baptiser au nom du Seigneur Jésus. Et quand Paul leur eut imposé les mains, l’Esprit Saint vint sur eux, et ils se mirent à parler en langues mystérieuses et à prophétiser. Ils étaient une douzaine d’hommes au total. Paul se rendit à la synagogue où, pendant trois mois, il prit la parole avec assurance ; il discutait et usait d’arguments persuasifs à propos du royaume de Dieu. – Parole du Seigneur.
Psaume (67 (68), 2-3, 4-5, 6-7ab)
R/ Royaumes de la terre, chantez pour le Seigneur.
ou : Alléluia ! (67, 33a)
Dieu se lève et ses ennemis se dispersent, ses adversaires fuient devant sa face. Comme on dissipe une fumée, tu les dissipes ; comme on voit fondre la cire en face du feu, les impies disparaissent devant la face de Dieu.
Mais les justes sont en fête, ils exultent ; devant la face de Dieu ils dansent de joie. Chantez pour Dieu, jouez pour son nom, frayez la route à celui qui chevauche les nuées. Son nom est Le Seigneur ; dansez devant sa face.
Père des orphelins, défenseur des veuves, tel est Dieu dans sa sainte demeure. À l’isolé, Dieu accorde une maison ; aux captifs, il rend la liberté.
Alléluia. Alléluia.

Évangile (Jn 16, 29-33)
En ce temps-là, les disciples de Jésus lui dirent : « Voici que tu parles ouvertement et non plus en images. Maintenant nous savons que tu sais toutes choses, et tu n’as pas besoin qu’on t’interroge : voilà pourquoi nous croyons que tu es sorti de Dieu. » Jésus leur répondit : « Maintenant vous croyez ! Voici que l’heure vient – déjà elle est venue – où vous serez dispersés chacun de son côté, et vous me laisserez seul ; mais je ne suis pas seul, puisque le Père est avec moi. Je vous ai parlé ainsi, afin qu’en moi vous ayez la paix. Dans le monde, vous avez à souffrir, mais courage ! Moi, je suis vainqueur du monde. » – Acclamons la Parole de Dieu.

Psalter III
Blessed Louis-Zépherin Moreau
(1824 – 1901)
White
Entrance Antiphon: Ps 26: 7-9
O Lord, hear my voice, for I have called to you; of you my heart has spoken: Seek his face; hide not your face from me, alleluia.
Collect
Graciously hear our supplications, O Lord, so that we, who believe that the Saviour of the human race is with you in your glory, may experience, as he promised, until the end of the world, his abiding presence among us. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
First reading: Acts 1:12-14
After Jesus was taken up into heaven the apostles went back from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a sabbath walk; and when they reached the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James. All these joined in continuous prayer, together with several women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Psalm 26(27):1,4,7-8
R/ I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living.
- The Lord is my light and my help; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; before whom shall I shrink?
- There is one thing I ask of the Lord, for this I long, to live in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, to savour the sweetness of the Lord, to behold his temple.
- O Lord, hear my voice when I call; have mercy and answer. Of you my heart has spoken: ‘Seek his face.’
Second reading: 1 Peter 4:13-16
If you can have some share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, because you will enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed. It is a blessing for you when they insult you for bearing the name of Christ, because it means that you have the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God resting on you. None of you should ever deserve to suffer for being a murderer, a thief, a criminal or an informer; but if anyone of you should suffer for being a Christian, then he is not to be ashamed of it; he should thank God that he has been called one.
Gospel Acclamation: Jn14:18
Alleluia, alleluia! I will not leave you orphans, says the Lord; I will come back to you, and your hearts will be full of joy. Alleluia!
Gospel: John 17:1-11
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: ‘Father, the hour has come: glorify your Son so that your Son may glorify you; and, through the power over all mankind that you have given him, let him give eternal life to all those you have entrusted to him. And eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I have glorified you on earth and finished the work that you gave me to do. Now, Father, it is time for you to glorify me with that glory I had with you before ever the world was. I have made your name known to the men you took from the world to give me. They were yours and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now at last they know that all you have given me comes indeed from you; for I have given them the teaching you gave to me, and they have truly accepted this, that I came from you, and have believed that it was you who sent me. I pray for them; I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because they belong to you: all I have is yours and all you have is mine, and in them I am glorified. I am not in the world any longer, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.’
Prayer over the Offerings
Accept, O Lord, the prayers of your faithful with the sacrificial offerings, that through these acts of devotedness we may pass over to the glory of heaven. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon: Jn 17: 22
Father, I pray that they may be one as we also are one, alleluia.
Prayer after Communion
Hear us, O God our Saviour, and grant us confidence, that through these sacred mysteries there will be accomplished in the body of the whole Church what has already come to pass in Christ her Head. Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Meditation
Jesus begins by praying for the success of his mission. He prays that through his passion, death and resurrection, he may find glory. In John’s gospel, Jesus’ glory begins with his passion and the high moment is the moment of his dying on the cross which is also the moment of resurrection and union with the Father. This glory is not for himself but its meant to lead people to glorify God, of whom Jesus is the revealer and the mediator. Jesus prays that people everywhere may share in the life of God. And what is that life? It is stated here in one of the key sayings of Jesus reported in the gospel. “Eternal life is this: to know you the one true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” To know God and to know Jesus is to acknowledge their unique place as the source and end of all we have and are. To know the Father and Jesus is to have an understanding of Jesus’ message and to have assimilated it into one’s life. It is not just a message of recognition but a mutual identification of vision and values.
