https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q3sjd4Dyuo Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Lectionary: 636 Reading 1 mi 5:1-4a The LORD says: You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah, From you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; Whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.

The Lord is near to all who call upon him. Sept 6th ’14

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n2E3Z3g8yA Reading 1 1 cor 4:6b-15 Brothers and sisters: Learn from myself and Apollos not to go beyond what is written, so that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over against another. Who confers distinction upon you? What do you possess that you have not received? But if you have received it, why are you boasting as if you did not receive it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmm9I_hTnv0 Reading 1 1 cor 4:1-5 Brothers and sisters: Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Therefore, do not make any judgment before the appointed time, until the Lord...

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. Sept 3rd ’14

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnDdqp711AY Reading 1 1 cor 3:1-9 Brothers and sisters, I could not talk to you as spiritual people, but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ. I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it. Indeed, you are still not able, even now, for you are still of the flesh. While there is jealousy and rivalry among you, are you not of the flesh, and walking according to the manner of man? Whenever someone says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely men? What is Apollos, after all,...

The Lord is just in all his ways. Sept 2nd 2014

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK6aPrzqozU Reading 1 1 cor 2:10b-16 Brothers and sisters: The Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God. Among men, who knows what pertains to the man except his spirit that is within? Similarly, no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given us by God. And we speak about them not with words taught by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, describing spiritual realities in spiritual terms. Now...
