MASS READINGS for November 21, 2016 (Monday of the Thirty-fourth week in Ordinary Time)
I. FIRST READING: Book of Revelation 14:1-3.4b-5.
I, John, looked and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of rushing water or a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
They were singing (what seemed to be) a new hymn before the throne, before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn this hymn except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth.
These are they who were not defiled with women; they are virgins and these are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been ransomed as the firstfruits of the human race for God and the Lamb.
On their lips no deceit has been found; they are unblemished.
II. PSALM: Psalms 24(23):1-2.3-4ab.5-6.
The LORD’s are the earth and its fullness;
the world and those who dwell in it.
For he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
or who may stand in his holy place?
One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
who desires not what is vain.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
a reward from God his savior.
Such is the race that seeks for him,
that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
III. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 21:1-4.
When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury
and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins.
He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest;
for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”
Massa behandlingar för november 21, 2016 (måndag av de trettio-fjärde veckan i vanlig tid)
Jag. Första behandlingen: uppenbarelseboken 14:1-3.4 b-5.
Jag, john, såg och det var lammet stå på sions berg, och med honom ett hundra fyrtiofyra tusen som hade hans namn och hans fars namn skrivna på sina pannor.
Jag hörde ett ljud från himlen gillar ljudet av-rinnande vatten eller en högljudd skalar av åska. Ljudet jag hörde var att likna vid harpister spelar sina harpor.
De sjöng (det som verkade vara) en ny psalm innan tronen, innan de fyra väsendena och de äldste. Ingen kunde lära sig denna psalm utom de hundra fyrtiofyra tusen som hade blivit friköpt från jorden.
Dessa är de som inte var besudlade med kvinnor. de är oskulder och dessa är de som följer lammet vart han än går. De har varit friköpas som förstling av den mänskliga rasen för gud och lammet.
På deras läppar ingen falskhet har hittats. de är fläckfritt.
Ii. Psalm: psaltaren 24 (23): 1-2.3-4 ab. 5-6.
Herrens är jorden och dess fullhet.
Världen och de som vistas i den.
För han grundade det över havet
Och grund på floder.
Vem kan stiga till herrens berg?
Eller vem som får ställa upp i hans heliga plats?
En vars händer är syndfri, vars hjärta är rent,
Den som vill, inte vad är fåfäng.
Han ska få en välsignelse från herren,
En belöning från sin frälsnings gud.
Sådan är den ras som söker för honom,
Som söker inför jakobs gud.
Iii. Heliga evangeliet om jesus kristus enligt lukas 21:1-4.
När jesus såg upp han såg några rika människor sätter sina offergåvor till statskassan
Och han märkte en fattig änka sätter i två små mynt.
Han sa, ” jag säger sanningen, den här stackars änka lägga i mer än alla andra.
För de andra har alla gjort erbjudanden från sina överskott rikedomar, men hon, från hennes fattigdom, har erbjudit henne hela levebröd.”

TODAY, NOVEMBER 21 is the PRESENTATION OF MARY (Memorial) …
Gracious and lovable art thou in thy splendor, O holy Mother of God! Show me thy countenance. Let thy words sound in my ears, for thy voice is sweet and thy countenance is beautiful. Turn to us in thy beauty and loveliness! Come forth in majesty and reign!
· HAIL MARY …
O blessed Mother of God, Mary ever Virgin, Temple of the Lord, sanctuary of the Holy Ghost, thou alone, without an equal, hast pleased our Lord Jes
us Christ!
· HAIL MARY …
Blessed indeed art thou, O holy Virgin Mary, and most worthy of all praise, for from thee arose the Sun of Justice, Christ our Lord. Draw us, O Immaculate Virgin; we shall come after thee, breathing the sweet fragrance of thy virtues!
· HAIL MARY …
~~~~~ (HERE STATE YOUR PETITION/INTENTION) ~~~~~
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother! To thee to do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
