Saturday Week 31 in Ordinary Time.

DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA (Feast).

Vestment: White
Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery.

Theme of the Feast: WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
The readings help us understand that all baptized members of the Church are called to be the temple of God, and to bear fruits of charity and holiness for the good of all humankind.

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON cf. Rv 21:2
I saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Or: Cf. Rv21:3
Behold God’s dwelling with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people, and God himself with them will be their God.

COLLECT
O God, who from living and chosen stones prepare an eternal dwelling for your majesty, increase in your Church the spirit of grace you have bestowed, so that by new growth your faithful people may build up the heavenly Jerusalem. Through our Lord...

Or:

O God, who were pleased to call your Church the Bride, grant that the people that serves your name may revere you, love you and follow you, and may be led by you to attain your promises in heaven. Through our Lord...

FIRST READING
I saw water running from the temple, and all those to whom the water came were saved” (Ant. Vidi aquam).
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 47: 1-2.8-9.120

In those days: The angel brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple towards the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the right side of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar. Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces towards the east; and the water was coming out on the right side. And he said to me, “This water flows towards the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea, the water will become fresh. And wherever the river goes, every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. “And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 46:2-3.5-6.8-9 (R.5)

R/. The waters of a river give joy to God’s city,
the holy place, the dwelling of the Most High.

God is for us a refuge and strength,
An ever-present help in time of distress:
So we shall not fear though the earth should rock,
though the mountains quake to the heart of the sea. R/.

The waters of a river give joy to God’s city,
The holy place, the dwelling of the Most High.
God is within, it cannot be shaken;
God will help it at the dawning of the day. R/.

The Lord of hosts is with us:
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Come and behold the works of the Lord,
The awesome deeds he has done on the earth. R/.

SECOND READING
You are God’s temple.
A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (I Corinthians 3:9c-11.16-17)

Brethren: You are God’s building. According to the commission of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it. For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If any one destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and that temple you are.

The word of the Lord.

ALLELUIA
2 Chronicles 7:16.

Alleluia.
I have chosen and consecrated this house, says the Lord, that my name may be there for ever.
Alleluia.

GOSPEL
He spoke of the temple of his body.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (John 2:13-22)

The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” The Jews then said to him, “What sign have you to show us for doing this?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he spoke of the temple of his body. When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

The Gospel of the Lord.

MASOMO YA MISA, SIKUKUU YA KUTABARUKIWA BASILIKA LA LATERANI, NOVEMBA 9, 2024
RANGI YA KILITURJIA: NYEUPE 🤍

SOMO LA KWANZA
EZEKIELI 47:1—9, 12

Niliona maji yakitiririka kwenye hekalu na kwa wote yaliyowaendea waliokoka.

Somo katika kitabu cha Nabii Ezekieli

Siku zile: [Malaika] alinirudisha kwenye maingilio ya nyumba ya hekalu, na tazama, maji yalikuwa yakitoka chini ya kizingiti cha nyumba, upande wa mashariki, kwa maana, nyumba ilielekea mashariki. Maji yalikuwa yakiteremka toka chini ya upande wa kulia wa nyumba, kusini mwa altare. Malaika akanileta nje, kwa njia ya mlango wa kaskazini, akanizungusha kwa njia ya nje mpaka mlango ulio upande wa mashariki; na tazama, maji yalitoka upande wa kulia. Akaniambia, "Maji haya yanakwenda upande wa mashariki, yanateremka katika Araba na kuingia katika bahari na maji yake ya chumvi yatasafishwa. Kila mahali utakapofika mto huu, viumbe vyote vyenye uzima vilivyopo vitaishi; samaki watakuwamo wengi sana. Maji hayo yanapofika, huponya na kuzidisha uzima popote mto upitapo. Kando ya mto, kila ng'ambo, miti ya matunda ya kila namna itaota, na majani yake hayatakauka, wala matunda yake hayatakosekana. Miti itazaa matunda mapya kila mwezi kwa sababu ya maji yale yaliyotokea patakatifu. Nayo matunda yake yatakuwa chakula, na majani yake yatakuwa dawa."

NENO LA BWANA... TUMSHUKURU MUNGU

ZABURI YA KUITIKIZANA
ZABURI 46:2—3, 5—6, , 8—9 (K. 5a)

K. Maji ya mto yaufurahisha mji wa Mungu.
Mungu ni kimbilio na nguvu yetu,
msaada ulio tayari daima wakati wa shida.
Kwa hiyo, hatuogopi hata nchi ikitikisika,
na milima ijapoanguka katikati ya bahari. K.

Mikondo ya mto inaufurahisha mji wa Mungu,
mahali patakatifu pa yule Aliye juu.
Mungu yupo katikati yake, nao hautatikisika;
Mungu huuletea msaada alfajiri na mapema. K.

Bwana wa majeshi yu pamoja nasi,
Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
Njoni,tazameni matendo ya Bwana,
maajabu aliyoyafanya duniani. K.

SOMO LA PILI
1 WAKORINTHO 3:9c—11, 16—17

Ninyi ni hekalu la Mungu.

Somo katika barua ya kwanza ya Mtakatifu Paulo kwa Wakorintho

Ndugu zangu: Ninyi ni jengo la Mungu. Kwa kadiri ya neema ya Mungu niliyojaliwa nimepata kuwa mjenzi bingwa na nimeweka msingi. Mtu mwingine anajenga juu yake. Lakini yeyote anayejenga juu yake aangalie namna anavyojenga. Maana hakuna anayeweza kuweka msingi mwingine, ila ule uliokwishawekwa, ndiye Yesu Kristo. Je, hamjui ya kuwa ninyi ni hekalu la Mungu, na Roho wa Mungu anakaa ndani yenu? K**a mtu akiliharibu hekalu la Mungu, Mungu atamharibu. Kwa maana hekalu la Mungu ni takatifu, nalo ni ninyi.

NENO LA BWANA... TUMSHUKURU MUNGU

SHANGILIO LA INJILI
2 NYAKATI 7:16

K. Aleluya. W. Aleluya.
K. Nimechagua na kuitakasa nyumba hii, asema Bwana; ili jina langu likae hapa milele.
W. Aleluya.

INJILI
YOHANE 2:13—22

Yeye alizungumzia hekalu la mwili wake.

† Somo la Injili takatifu ilivyoandikwa na Yohane

Pasaka ya Wayahudi ilikuwa imekaribia. Yesu alipanda kwenda Yerusalemu. Akaona pale hekaluni watu wakiuza ng'ombe, kondoo, na njiwa, pia wabadilisha fedha wamekaa mezani pao. Akafanya mjeledi kwa kamba, akawafukuza wote katika hekalu pamoja na kondoo na ng'ombe. Akamwaga fedha za wabadilisha fedha, akapindua meza zao, akawaambia wauza njiwa, "Ondoeni vitu hivi, msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa nyumba ya biashara." Wafuasi wake wakakumbuka ya kuwa imeandikwa, "Wivu wa nyumba yako unaniua." Hapo Wayahudi wakamrudia na kumwambia, "Je, utaweza kutuonyesha ishara gani inayokuruhusu kufanya hayo?" Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, "Livunjeni hekalu hili, nami nitalijenga tena kwa siku tatu." Wayahudi wakamwambia, "Miaka arobaini na sita ilitakiwa kujenga hekalu hili, na wewe utalijenga kwa siku tatu?" Lakini yeye alikuwa anazungumzia hekalu la mwili wake. Baada ya ufufuko wake katika wafu, wafuasi wake wakakumbuka ya kuwa alisema hayo, n wakayasadiki Maandiko na maneno aliyokuwa ameyasema Yesu.

Weekday (31) In Ordinary Time.

Vestment: Green
Today’s Rosary: The Sorrowful Mystery.

FIRST READING
“We await a savior who will change our lonely body to be like his glorious body”
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Philippians (Philippians 3:17-4:1)

Brethren, join in imitating me, and mark those who so walk as you have an example in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their ends is destruction, their god is the belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power which enables him even to subject all things to himself. Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, for my joy and crown, stand firm in this way in the Lord, my beloved.

The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm Ps122:1-2, 3-4ab, 4cd-5 (R. see 1)

R/. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

I rejoiced when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
And now our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem. R/.

Jerusalem is built as a city
Bonded as one together.
It is there that the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord. R/.

To praise the name of the Lord.
There were set the thrones for judgement,
The thrones of the house of David. R/.

GOSPEL
“Sons of this world are wiser in their own generation than the sons of light.”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 16:1-8)

At that time: Jesus said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ “And the steward said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do, so that people may receive me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.’ So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ “He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ “And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ “Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ “He said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ “He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ “The master commended the dishonest steward for his prudence; for the sons of this world are wiser in their own generation than the sons of light.”

Tunamngoja mwokozi ambaye atautengeneza mwili wetu wa unyonge, upate kufanana na mwili wake mtukufu.

Somo katika barua ya Mtakatifu Paulo kwa Wafilipi

Ndugu, mniige mimi! Waangalieni wale wanaopanga mwenendo wao kadiri ya mfano tuliowapeni. Maana wengi, niliowatajieni mara nyingi, na sasa ninawataja kwa machozi, huishi k**a adui wa msalaba wa Kristo. Mwisho wao ni uharibifu; mungu wao ni tumbo; hujisifia aibu yao, akili zao ni kwenye mambo ya dunia. Bali kwetu ni mbinguni; na kutoka mbinguni atakuja mwokozi, Bwana Yesu Kristo, tunayemtazamia. Naye atatengeneza mwili wetu wa unyonge, upate kufanana na mwili wake wa utukufu. Atafanya hayo kwa enzi ile inayomwezesha kuuweka ulimwengu wote chini ya mamlaka yake. Basi, ndugu zangu wapendwa ninaowatunuku sana, mlio furaha yangu na taji langu, simameni imara katika Bwana, enyi wapendwa.

LUKA 16:1—8

Maana wana wa dunia hii ni werevu katika nahusiano yao kuliko wana wa mwanga.

† Somo la Injili takatifu ilivyoandikwa na Luka

Wakati ule: Yesu aliwaambia wafuasi wake, "Tajiri mmoja alikuwa na karani naye alishtakiwa kwake kwamba anatapanya mali zake. Akamwita, akamwambia, Je, nasikia nini juu yako? Toa hesabu ya ukarani wako, kwa maana huwezi kuwa karani tena.' Karani huyo akasema moyoni mwake, 'Nifanyeje? Maana, bwana wangu ananiachisha kazi ya ukarani. Kulima siwezi na kuomba k**a maskini naona haya. Najua la kufanya, ili baada ya kutolewa katika ukarani, wanipokee nyumbani kwao, Akawaita wadeni wake mmoja mmoja, akamwambia wa kwanza, 'Una deni gani kwa bwana wangu? Naye akajibu, 'Mapipa mia ya mafuta. Akamwambia, 'Twaa hati yako ya deni: kaa upesi, andika, hamsini. Kisha akamwambia mwingine, Nawe una deni gani?"Akasema, 'Mifuko mia ya ngano.' Akamwambia, Twaa hati yako ya deni, andika, themanini.' Bwana akamsifu karani mdanganyifu, kwa sababu alifanya werevu. Maana wana wa dunia hii huwa na busara, katika mahusiano yao, kuliko wana wa mwanga."

LET'S PRAY THE HOLY ROSARY -
The Luminous Mysteries

The Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

The Apostles' Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He arose again; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen

One Our Father, three Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father.

First Luminous Mystery - Baptism of Jesus
OPENNESS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Though Jesus is without original sin, John baptizes him and God announces that Jesus is his son and he is pleased. I imagine standing in that cool river, feeling the water rush past me. The sounds of the crowd are muffled as my head goes below the surface. I imagine hearing God’s great voice proclaiming he is pleased with his son. I desire God to be pleased with me too, and pray that I can accept the movement of the Holy Spirit in my life.

Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father. Recite the Fatima Prayer "O my Jesus.

Second Luminous Mystery - Wedding at Cana
JESUS THROUGH MARY
It is here Jesus’ public life is put into motion. I imagine Mary noticing that the wine is running out and hearing her ask Jesus for help, confident in his assistance. His respect for Mary is so high, he performs his first miracle at her request. Her command, “Do whatever he tells you” is for us too. The wine stewards listen and water is turned into wine. When we pray the Rosary she intercedes with her Son on our behalf. I pray to grow closer to Jesus with Mary’s help.

Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father. Recite the Fatima Prayer "O my Jesus.

Third Luminous Mystery - Proclamation of the Kingdom
REPENTANCE
Jesus went about the land preaching the coming of the kingdom of heaven. He healed the sick and cast out demons. I imagine the awe of the people watching this man proclaim the importance of repenting of our sins as he healed people of their paralysis or leprosy. He preached about love and forgiveness. We too need healing and repentance. I pray for the ability to be humbly and genuinely sorry for my sins against others and against the God who loves me and made me.

Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father. Recite the Fatima Prayer "O my Jesus.

Fourth Luminous Mystery - The Transfiguration
DESIRE FOR HOLINESS
Peter, James and John accompany Jesus up Mount Tabor where Jesus is transformed before them in glorious light and Moses and Elijah appear. Peter desires to build tents for them so they may stay. God again proclaims pleasure in Jesus, his beloved Son and tells them to listen to him. I imagine the disciples seeing Jesus with the prophets of the past and hearing God’s voice. They received a beautiful gift from God and comforting words from Jesus to not be afraid. I pray for the desire to spend time with Christ thinking about his message and striving for holiness.

Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father. Recite the Fatima Prayer "O my Jesus.

Fifth Luminous Mystery - Institution of the Eucharist
EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Jesus gives us the greatest of gifts in his presence in the Eucharist—body, blood, soul and divinity. I imagine the disciples hearing these words of the New Covenant and the directive to do this in his remembrance. We reflect on this at every Mass as we genuflect before the tabernacle. We are also invited to visit Jesus in adoration. It takes great faith to believe in the Real Presence. I pray for the grace to have that faith, to seek him in adoration and surrender myself humbly to his service.

Say one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, one Glory Be to the Father. Recite the Fatima Prayer "O my Jesus.

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our Sweetness, and our Hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us. And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary, pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
