Láthair Dé

A Dhia, tá tú níos gaire a chreidim, níos gaire ná m’anáil féin. Táim beannaithe ag do dhlúthchaidreamh liom agus ní gá go mbeadh eagla orm.

Saoirse

Treoraigh mé i gcónaí do thoil naofa a dhéanamh
agus fhios agam go n-iompródh Do neart
tríd mé.

Comhfhios

Is oilithrigh sinn go léir ar thuras chugatsa, a Thiarna.
Go ndéanaimis machnamh ar do chuid ama ar domhan,
agus, le do chabhair, go leanaimis do choiscéimeanna.

Briathar Dé

¹After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He did not wish to go about in Judea because the Jews were looking for an opportunity to kill him. ²Now the Jewish Festival of Booths was near.

¹⁰But after his brothers had gone to the festival, then he also went, not publicly but, as it were, in secret.

²⁵Now some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is not this the man whom they are trying to kill? ²⁶And here he is, speaking openly, but they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah? ²⁷Yet we know where this man is from, but when the Messiah comes no one will know where he is from.” ²⁸Then Jesus cried out as he was teaching in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I am from. I have not come on my own. But the one who sent me is true, and you do not know him. ²⁹I know him because I am from him, and he sent me.” ³⁰Then they tried to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him because his hour had not yet come.

I soiscéal lae, feicimid scamaill dhorcha ag cruinniú go bagrach ar fhíor an spéire. Tá doicheall ag fás i measc dreamanna áirithe. Caithfidh sé go raibh sé deacair ag comhluadar Íosa a dhéanamh amach cén fáth go raibh oiread airde agus freasúra á bhailiú chuige. Is minic nach bhfaigheann maitheas an cúiteamh cuí ar an saol seo. Ach feicimid diaidh ar ndiadh i saol agus gníomhartha Íosa, go bhfaighidh iad siúd atá dílis dó a gcúiteamh.

Comhrá

Is minic a chuir Íosa ceisteanna orthu siúd a tháinig chuige.
Lig dom é a mhothú gar dom anois,
ag éisteacht le mo phaidir agus ag fiafrú
“Conas is féidir liom cabhrú leat?”
“Cad is féidir liom a thabhairt duit?”
“Cad atá uait?”

Conclúid

Glóir don Athair, agus don Mhac, agus don Spiorad Naomh,
mar a bhí sé ar dtús,
atá anois agus a bheidh ann go deo,
domhan gan deireadh. Áiméan
