Láthair Dé

Nuair a thagann mé i do láthair, a Thiarna,
Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil mé i láthair mo Chruthaitheora.
Chruthaigh tú as grá mé.
Tá a fhios agat fiú an líon ribí ar mo cheann.
Is é do láithreacht, a Thiarna, an bronntanas is mó ar fad.

Saoirse

A Athair Neamhaí, léirigh dom cibé ualach atá á iompar agam inniu agus tabhair grásta dom é a chur ag bun do Chroise agus dul isteach saor san tráth paidreoireachta seo.

Comhfhios

A Spioraid Naoimh, tar anuas orm as an nua orm le linn an ama urnaí seo. Tríotsa, go raibh a fhios agam gur leanbh ionúin Dé mé.

Briathar Dé

¹Then he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the winepress, and built a watchtower; then he leased it to tenants and went away. ²When the season came, he sent a slave to the tenants to collect from them his share of the produce of the vineyard. ³But they seized him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. ⁴And again he sent another slave to them; this one they beat over the head and insulted. ⁵Then he sent another, and that one they killed. And so it was with many others; some they beat, and others they killed. ⁶He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ ⁷But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ ⁸So they seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. ⁹What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. ¹⁰Have you not read this scripture:

‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;^,

¹¹this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes’?”

¹²When they realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowd. So they left him and went away.

Inspioráid

Is é Íosa an chloch choirnéil, mar a rinne Íseáia fáistine, ach dhiúltaigh na tógálaithe dó. An raibh mé riamh ag mothú diúltaithe, bíodh sé mar gheall ar mo chreideamh nó mar gheall ar aon cheist eile? Más ea, lig dom a roinnt leat, a Thiarna, cén chaoi a raibh an diúltú sin.

Tá go leor sraitheanna brí i bparabail Íosa. Cad é do fhreagra ar scéal mharú an sclábhaí agus mhac an úinéara? Cad iad do thuairimí faoin úinéir ag scriosadh na dtionóntaí? Labhair le Dia faoi na rudaí a thagann chun cinn duit.

Comhrá

Is bronntanas iontach é an chainte.
Go n-úsáide mé an bronntanas seo le cineáltas.
Go raibh mé mall chun an focal garbh a rá,
focail nimhneacha, agus focail a labhraítear le fearg.

Conclúid

Gabhaim buíochas le Dia as na cúpla nóiméad seo a chaitheamar le chéile agus as aon léargas a fuair mé maidir leis an téacs.
