Láthair Dé

Déanaim marana ar feadh nóiméad
ach machnamah ar an ngrá agus grásta
a bhronann Dia go fial orm,
do mo chruthú ár a dheilbh féin, ar a chosúlacht féin,
ag déanamh a theampaill asam.

Saoirse

A Thiarna, ofrálaim duit mo chuimhne, mo thuiscint, mo thoil iomlan, cosúil le Naomh Ignatius. Iarraim ort do ghrá and do ghrásta – Is é an t-aon rud a iarraim – is leor sin domsa.

Comhfhios

A Athair, go raibh maith agat as do Mhac a chur go talamh le bheith liom i ngach taithí atá agam. Go raibh maith agat go bhfuil sé liom ar bhealach speisialta in am seo na paidreoireachta agus trí d’fhocal.

Briathar Dé

²⁷Again they came to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him ²⁸and said, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?” ²⁹Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. ³⁰Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin? Answer me.” ³¹They argued with one another, “What should we say? If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ³²But shall we say, ‘Of human origin’?”—they were afraid of the crowd, for all regarded John as truly a prophet. ³³So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

Inspioráid

Nuair a bhí fonn orthu, bhí bua iontach ag na Fairisínigh chun daoine a chur i gcoinne a chéile. Rinne siad iarracht Íosa a tharraingt isteach i dioscúrsa agus míshuaimhnis, ach chas sé an trioblóid orthu. Nuair a bhraithimid muid féin ag cruthú níos mó míshuaimhnis ná comhréitigh, guímis go dtabharfaidh tú dúinn an eagna, a léirigh tú féin chomh minic, chun dea-thoil agus cineáltas a chruthú in ionad achrainn.

Comhrá

A Thiarna, cuidigh liom gach lá
chun do láithreacht a lorg níos mó agus níos mó.
Líon mo chroí le grá duit.

Conclúid

Gabhaim buíochas le Dia as bronntanas a ghrá
agus mé ag imeacht le lúcháir agus dóchas
chun freastal ar a mhuintir.
