FIRST READING      
We first hoped in Christ, and you were sealed with the Holy Spirit.
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians (Ephesians 1:11-14)
Brethren: In Christ, according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will, we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM  Psalm 33:1-2.4-5.12-13 (R. 12b)
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.
Ring out your joy to the Lord, O you just;
for praise is fitting for the upright.
Give thanks to the Lord upon the harp;
with a ten-stringed lute sing him songs. R.
For the word of the Lord is faithful,
and all his works to be trusted.
The Lord loves justice and right,
and his merciful love fills the earth. R.
Blessed the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he has chosen as his heritage.
From the heavens the Lord looks forth;
he sees all the children of men. R.

ALLELUIA Psalm 33:22
Alleluia. May your merciful love be upon us, as we hope in you, O Lord. Alleluia.

GOSPEL         
“Even the hairs of your head are all numbered.”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 12:1-7)
At that time: When so many thousands of the multitude had gathered together that they trod upon one another, Jesus began to say to his disciples first, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And trot one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
The Gospel of the Lord.

Sunday 4th November Thirty-First Sunday of the Year

Sunday 4th November Thirty-First Sunday of the Year Vestment: Green Today’s Rosary: The Glorious Mystery ST CHARLES BORROMEO, Bishop  (MEMORIAL) KADUNA: Tomorrow is the 46th anniversary of the Episcopal ordination of Most Revd Peter Jatau, Emeritus, 5th November 1972. SHENDAM: Tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of the Episcopal ordination of Most Revd Philip D. Dung, 5th November 2017. Theme of tile Sunday:   Love and Do What you Like!  The presentation of the message of the word of God for this Sunday could begin with the Gospel. Love that comes from God and spreads to all is the synthesis of all commandments. One lives one’s life and comes close to God only when one loves. The first reading teaches us that the law of God is not a hard imposition; it is a gift from the Father to show us the way to happiness. The reading helps us to understand what it means to love God. The second reading is related to this: by giving his life for us, Jesus taught us how we too can l...

Monday 29th October Weekday (30) of Ordinary time year B.

Monday 29th October Weekday (30) Vestment: Green Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery FIRST READING “Walk in love, as Christ loved us.” A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians (Ephesians 4: 32—5 :8) Brethren: Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints. Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no immoral or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. There...

Saturday 27 October Weekday (29) of Ordinary time year B.

Saturday 27 October Weekday (29) Vestment: White/Green Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery FIRST READING                    Christ is the head from whom the whole body is joined and knit together. A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians (Ephesians 4:7-16) Brethren: Grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it is said, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.”  (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,  for the equipment of the saints, for the work of ministry, for building up the body  of Christ, until we all att...
