Ne delajte ničesar iz prepirljivosti in ne iz praznega slavohlepja,

ampak imejte v ponižnosti

drug drugega za boljšega od sebe.

CEL ODLOMEK

Duhovnik po naročilu vernikov večinoma mašuje za pokojne, da bi bili rešeni trpljenja v vicah.

JANEZ VIANNEY je pri katehezi povedal tole zgodbo:

“Otroci, spominjajte se zgodbe, ki sem vam jo že pripovedoval o tistem svetem duhovniku, ki je molil za svojega prijatelja; očitno mu je Bog dal spoznati, da je v vicah. Prišlo mu je na misel, da ne more napraviti nič boljšega kakor to, da za njegovo dušo daruje daritev svete maše. Pri spremenjenju je vzel v roke hostijo in  rekel:

“Sveti in večni Oče, narediva zamenjavo. Ti držiš dušo mojega prijatelja, ki je v vicah, jaz pa držim telo Tvojega Sina, ki je v mojih rokah: reši mojega prijatelja, jaz pa Ti bom daroval Tvojega Sina z vsem zasluženjem njegove smrti in trpljenja.”

In res je pri povzdigovanju videl dušo svojega prijatelja, ki se je vsa sijoča v veličastju dvigala v nebesa.

10 Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah! ¹⁶ Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; Cease to do evil. ¹⁷ Learn to do well. Seek justice, Relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, Plead for the widow.” ¹⁸ “Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. ¹⁹ If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; ²⁰ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”

Evangelij po Mateju

Mt 23,1-12Mt 23,1-12
English: World English Bible - WEB
23 ¹ Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, ² saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat. ³ All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do. ⁴ For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them. ⁵ But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad, enlarge the fringes of their garments, ⁶ and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, ⁷ the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men. ⁸ But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi,’ for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers. ⁹ Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. ¹⁰ Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ. ¹¹ But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. ¹² Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

1 Tedaj je Jezus spregovoril množicam in svojim učencem: 2 »Mojzesov stol so zasedli pismouki in farizeji. 3 Delajte vse in se držite vsega, kar vam rečejo, po njihovih delih pa se ne ravnajte; govorijo namreč, pa ne delajo. 4 Vežejo težka in neznosna bremena in jih nalagajo ljudem na rame, sami pa jih še s prstom nočejo premakniti. 5 Vsa svoja dela opravljajo zato, da bi jih ljudje videli. Napravljajo si širše molitvene jermene in podaljšujejo robove na obleki. 6 Radi imajo častno mesto na gostijah, prve sedeže v shodnicah, 7 pozdrave na trgih in da jim ljudje pravijo ›rabi‹. 8 Vi pa si ne pravite ›rabi‹, kajti eden je vaš Učitelj, vi vsi pa ste bratje. 9 Tudi na zemlji nikomur ne pravite ›oče‹, kajti eden je vaš Oče, ta, ki je v nebesih. 10 Tudi si ne pravite ›vodnik‹, kajti eden je vaš Vodnik, Mesija. 11 Največji med vami bodi vaš strežnik. 12 Kdor se bo poviševal, bo ponižan, in kdor se bo poniževal, bo povišan.
