Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary ~ 8 December, 2014

 
Hail, Mary, full of grace, 
the Lord is with you. 
Blessed are you among women, 
and blessed is the fruit 
of your womb, Jesus. 
Holy Mary, Mother of God, 
pray for us sinners, 
now, and at the hour 
of our death. Amen.



In this solemnity, the Catholic Church honours the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of the Immaculate Conception. Mary had a faith that God's Spirit prepared and a love that never knew sin, for God Father the kept her sinless from the first moment of her conception in the womb of Saint Anne and nine months later, on 8 September, we celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Both the Eastern and the Western Church had maintained that Mary was free from sin throughout her life. It is a Holy Day of Obligation and Catholics are obliged to attend Holy Mass.

On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX officially declared the Immaculate Conception a dogma of the Church, which means that all Christians are bound to accept it as true. As the Holy Father wrote in the Apostolic Constitution Ineffabilis Deus, �We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.�


O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin prepared a worthy dwelling for your Son, grant, we pray, that, as you preserved her from every stain by virtue of the Death of your Son, which you foresaw, so, through her intercession, we, too, may be cleansed and admitted to your presence. 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. AMEN.

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary


Reading 1
Genesis 3:9-15, 20
After the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree,
the LORD God called to the man and asked him, �Where are you?�
He answered, �I heard you in the garden;
but I was afraid, because I was naked,
so I hid myself.�
Then he asked, �Who told you that you were naked?
You have eaten, then,
from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!�
The man replied, �The woman whom you put here with meC
she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.�
The LORD God then asked the woman,
�Why did you do such a thing?�
The woman answered, �The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.�

Then the LORD God said to the serpent:
�Because you have done this, you shall be banned
from all the animals
and from all the wild creatures;
on your belly shall you crawl,
and dirt shall you eat
all the days of your life.
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will strike at your head,
while you strike at his heel.�

The man called his wife Eve,
because she became the mother of all the living.


Responsorial Psalm 
Psalm 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.

Reading 2
Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12
Brothers and sisters:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world,
to be holy and without blemish before him.
In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ,
in accord with the favor of his will,
for the praise of the glory of his grace
that he granted us in the beloved.

In him we were also chosen,
destined in accord with the purpose of the One
who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
so that we might exist for the praise of his glory,
we who first hoped in Christ.

Alleluia 
Luke 1:28
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel 
Luke 1:26-38
The angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph,
of the house of David,
and the virgin�s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said,
�Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.�
But she was greatly troubled at what was said
and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her,
�Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son,
and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever,
and of his Kingdom there will be no end.�
But Mary said to the angel,
�How can this be,
since I have no relations with a man?�
And the angel said to her in reply,
�The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born
will be called holy, the Son of God.
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative,
has also conceived a son in her old age,
and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God.�
Mary said, �Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.�
Then the angel departed from her.

Pentateuch and Abbreviations of the Books of the Bible

 
The Pentateuch, which consists of the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), enjoys particular prestige among the Jews as the "Law," or "Torah," the concrete expression of God's will in their regard. It is more than a body of legal doctrine, even though such material occupies many chapters, for it contains the story of the formation of the People of God: Abraham and the Patriarchs, Moses and the oppressed Hebrews in Egypt, the birth of Israel in the Sinai covenant, the journey to the threshold of the Promised Land, and the "discourses" of Moses.

Merciful Love of Christ

 
By Blessed John Paul II, Pope


Merciful Love, we pray to You, do not fail!
Merciful Love, be tireless!
Be constantly greater than every evil 
which is in man and in the world. 
Be greater than that evil 
which has increased in our century 
and in our generation!
Be more powerful with 
the power of the crucified King!
"Blessed be His Kingdom which is coming."

Strength of the Cross ~ Prayer

 
By Saint John Paul II, Pope




Holy is God.
Holy and strong.
Holy immortal One, have mercy on us.
Have mercy: eleison: misere.
May the power of Your love once more be shown to be greater than the evil that threatens it. May it be shown to be greater than sin�
May the power of Your cross, O Christ, be shown to be greater than the author of sin, who is called "the prince of this world."
For by your blood and Your passion You have redeemed the world!

Help me O' Lord! I Your servant cry for Your Help.

 
Dear Lord I am going through financial difficultly, and out of desperateness I cry to you O' Lord to help me in this urgent need and all those in similar situation as me. I know Lord I have sinned and am a sinner, have mercy on me Lord. I am only human at times, I am unable control my human senses. I know Lord you are full of love and mercy, your compassion and empathy is infinite. Therefore, Lord Jesus by the will of the Father in heaven, let it be done unto me, touch, heal and provide for me Lord and all other who also need the same. I truly have faith, trust and hope in You alone my Lord, that by Your miraculous wonder, will allow needs be fulfilled and the money I need will know my name, address and bank account as soon as You permit it. My trust and hope in You Lord will never fade or die. May the grace of the Almighty support, sustain and Supply all my needs according to His riches in glory. Amen.

The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe ~ 23 November, 2014

 

In this solemnity, we celebrate and contemplate the kingship of Jesus our Redeemer. Today, the Sunday 23 November, 2014 is the last Sunday of the Church�s liturgical year. Next Sunday, 30 November, 2014, we start the Advent Sunday with the first Sunday in Advent. 

Jesus Christ is not a king like any king we have ever seen on earth. He is the Good Shepherd that we hear about in the first reading from the prophet Ezekiel. Jesus is a King who loves our freedom. He rules by his love, by his tender mercy. He wants us to respond with our freedom to his gifts of grace and his invitation to share in his divine life.


"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, 
and all the angels with him, 
he will sit upon his glorious throne, 
and all the nations will be assembled before him. �
Matthew 25:31

Pope Benedict XVI, has spoken of the power of Christ the King in this way: �It is not the power of the kings or the great people of this world; it is the divine power to give eternal life, to liberate from evil, to defeat the dominion of death. It is the power of Love that can draw good from evil, that can melt a hardened heart, bring peace amid the harshest conflict and kindle hope in the thickest darkness.�

Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, �Are you the King of the Jews?� Jesus answered, �Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?�  Pilate replied, �I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?� Jesus answered, �My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.� Pilate asked him, �So you are a king?� Jesus answered, �You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.� Pilate asked him, �What is truth?� 
(John 18:33-38)

In the dialogue between Pilate and Jesus reminds us that Our Lord�s kingship is real, yet it is unlike political kingship. He did not come to rule over peoples and territories. For Him, to reign was to serve! His throne was the cross where He revealed His power, the power of love. With this power, Christ the King set people free from the slavery of sin and reconciled them to God the Father. Throughout His earthly life, Jesus witnessed to the truth that God is love. On Calvary, He witnessed this truth to the full with the sacrifice of His own life. He conquered Satan, the �ruler of this world� (John 12:31).

Lastly, let us ask Our Blessed Mother Mary that through her intercession may we all gain the grace we need to allow Jesus Christ to rule in our hearts and souls as we serve others for the love of him and seek to build his Kingdom of Love. 

Almighty ever-living God, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of the universe, grant, we pray, that the whole creation, set free from slavery, may render your majesty service and ceaselessly proclaim your praise. 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. AMEN.

The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe (Christ the King)



Reading 1
Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17
Thus says the Lord GOD:
I myself will look after and tend my sheep.
As a shepherd tends his flock
when he finds himself among his scattered sheep,
so will I tend my sheep.
I will rescue them from every place where they were scattered
when it was cloudy and dark.
I myself will pasture my sheep;
I myself will give them rest, says the Lord GOD.
The lost I will seek out,
the strayed I will bring back,
the injured I will bind up,
the sick I will heal,
but the sleek and the strong I will destroy,
shepherding them rightly.

As for you, my sheep, says the Lord GOD,
I will judge between one sheep and another,
between rams and goats.



Responsorial Psalm 
Psalm 23:1-2, 2-3, 5-6
R/ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose.
R/ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me in right paths
for his name's sake.
R/ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
R/ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.
R/ The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

Reading 2
1 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28
Brothers and sisters:
Christ has been raised from the dead,
the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since death came through man,
the resurrection of the dead came also through man.
For just as in Adam all die,
so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
but each one in proper order:
Christ the firstfruits;
then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ;
then comes the end,
when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father,
when he has destroyed every sovereignty
and every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
When everything is subjected to him,
then the Son himself will also be subjected
to the one who subjected everything to him,
so that God may be all in all.


Gospel 
Matthew 25:31-46
Jesus said to his disciples:
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory,
and all the angels with him,
he will sit upon his glorious throne,
and all the nations will be assembled before him.
And he will separate them one from another,
as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the king will say to those on his right,
'Come, you who are blessed by my Father.
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
a stranger and you welcomed me,
naked and you clothed me,
ill and you cared for me,
in prison and you visited me.�
Then the righteous will answer him and say,
'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you drink?
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you,
or naked and clothe you?
When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?�
And the king will say to them in reply,
'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did
for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.�
Then he will say to those on his left,
'Depart from me, you accursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungry and you gave me no food,
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
a stranger and you gave me no welcome,
naked and you gave me no clothing,
ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.�
Then they will answer and say,
'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty
or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison,
and not minister to your needs?�
He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you,
what you did not do for one of these least ones,
you did not do for me.�
And these will go off to eternal punishment,
but the righteous to eternal life."

Islam Agama Klaim, Bukan Fakta


Kita tentu sudah sering mendengar Klaim - klaim bombastis Islam, yang bagaikan melaju dengan bebas dijalan raya yang penuh rambu-rambu dan kaidah-kaidah pengujian. Bahkan Kristen sendiri yang merupakan tonggak peradaban moderen, masih harus diuji dengan Kitab Kuno Yahudi, yaitu Tanakh (PL).

MELURUSKAN PEMAHAMAN YANG SALAH TENTANG BAPTISAN


Tentang Harus Lahir Baru: Injil Tidak Konsisten atau...?
Satu atau dua generasi sebelum kita mungkin tidak terlalu akrab dengan istilah “lahir baru”. Hal berbeda terjadi di generasi kita, dimana istilah ini begitu populer, khususnya di aliran-aliran baru. Kita membedakan umat kristen ke dalam dua kategori, yaitu kristen lahir baru dan kristen tidak lahir baru, dan percaya –sebagaimana Alkitab ajarkan-  bahwa kristen yang tidak lahir baru tidak akan selamat.

Kesaksian Rohani - Tuhan Yesus Melindungi Saya dari Ilmu Gendam (Yosafat Agus S)

Kesaksian Rohani -  Pertolongan Tuhan kembali saya alami pada hari Kamis (22 Januari 2009) yang lalu. Sewaktu pulang dari kantor (± pukul 17.00) saya berjalan kaki menuju ke halte bis sekitar 5 menit dari kantor. 

Mendadak, seorang laki-laki mencegat saya dan dengan sopan dia minta tolong untuk meminjam pulpen: “Kalau ada mas, cuma buat menulis nomor…”.

Kesaksian Rohani - Dibebaskan oleh Nama YESUS dari Iblis Pencabut nyawa


Kesaksian Rohani -  "Saat itu saya sedang mempersiapkan buku untuk pelajaran esok hari. Namun ketika saya sampai di meja belajar, saya malah tidak tahu apa yang harus saya perbuat.

Lalu tiba-tiba saya ambil buku, dan tanpa saya rencanakan sebelumnya tiba-tiba saja saya langsung menggambar wajah orang-orang yang seram tanpa dapat saya kendalikan.

DATANGLAH PADA YESUS


KESAKSIAN ROHANIKesaksian Rohani -   Seorang pencemooh dari tanah Arab beberapa waktu lalu menyerang kasih karunia oleh salib Yesus dengan berkata kira-kira begini:

Kalau benar Yesus mati tersalib untuk pengampunan dosa seluruh manusia, berarti tidak akan ada orang ke neraka. Kalau seluruh isi toko telah di bayar lunas, itu berarti semua orang bisa mengambil dengan gratis dan tak perlu membayar apa-apa. Tapi orang-orang kristen tetap saja berkata

TENTANG KESELAMATAN KEKAL DI DALAM YESUS

Kesaksian Rohani -   Jika ada sebatang tiang logam dialiri listrik, apa yang akan terjadi jika anda memegangnya? Sudah pasti, anda akan dialiri listrik.

Jika anda melepaskan pegangan anda, apa yang terjadi? Tentu saja, listrik berhenti mengalir ke dalam anda.

YESUS KRISTUS itulah Tiang Pengampunan Allah. Apabila anda memegang-Nya, maka pengampunan yang menyelamatkan itu akan mengalir ke dalam hidupmu.

YESUS TIDAK MEMBENCI SEORANGPUN


Kesaksian Rohani

Kesaksian Rohani -   Saudara dan saudariku,  Jangan berpikir Yesus membenci orang-orang Farisi dan ahli-ahli Taurat karena di dalam Injil, Ia banyak berkata-kata pedas pada mereka. Bukan. Ia hanya membenci sesuatu di kepala mereka, yaitu kebebalan teologis, kesombongan rohani, penolakan mereka akan Dia.  Ia membenci tindakan-tindakan mereka, pikiran-pikiran mereka, ajaran-ajaran mereka. Tetapi manusianya,

JANGAN KEMBALI KEPADA TAURAT


Kesaksian Rohani -   Berhati-hatilah pada ilham-ilham yang berasal dari alam roh yang membawa kita kembali kepada Taurat dan meninggalkan kasih karunia Allah yang telah dinyatakan di dalam Yesus Kristus. Ujilah setiap roh, agar engkau terhindar dari penyesat-penyesat yang menyamar sebagai domba di akhir zaman ini.

PENJELASAN KEPADA PENGEJEK-PENGEJEK YESUS KRISTUS


Kesaksian Rohani -   Belakangan ini, saya banyak sekali menemui orang-orang di facebook dan blog-blog yang tak kunjung habis-habisnya mengutuk, memaki-maki, menghujat dan mengejek-ejek penuh penghinaan pada Juruselamat Dunia, Yesus Kristus, dengan kata-kata kotor, cabul, jahat, dan menjijikkan.
