Evangelium Matt 18:21–35
Vid den tiden kom Petrus fram till Jesus och sade: »Herre, hur många gånger skall min broder kunna göra orätt mot mig och ändå få förlåtelse av mig? Så mycket som sju gånger?« Jesus svarade: »Jag säger dig: inte sju gånger utan sjuttiosju gånger.
Därför är det med himmelriket som när en kung ville ha redovisning av sina tjänare. När han började granskningen förde man in en som var skyldig honom tio tusen talenter. Eftersom han inte kunde betala befallde hans herre att han skulle säljas tillsammans med sin hustru och sina barn och allt han ägde, så att skulden kunde betalas. Tjänaren kastade sig ner och bönföll honom: ’Ge mig tid, så skall jag betala alltsammans.’ Då kände hans herre medlidande med honom och lät honom gå och efterskänkte hans skuld. Men när tjänaren gick därifrån, mötte han en annan tjänare som var skyldig honom hundra denarer. Han grep honom om strupen och sade: ’Betala tillbaka vad du är skyldig!’ Den andre kastade sig ner och bad honom: ’Ge mig tid, så skall jag betala.’ Men han ville inte utan gick därifrån och lät sätta honom i fängelse tills skulden var betald. När de andra tjänarna såg vad som hände tog de mycket illa vid sig och talade om alltsammans för sin herre. Då kallade denne till sig tjänaren och sade: ’Din usling, jag efterskänkte hela din skuld när du bad mig om det. Borde du inte ha varit lika barmhärtig mot din kamrat som jag mot dig?’ Och i sin vrede lät hans herre bödelsdrängarna ta hand om honom tills hela skulden var betald. Så skall min himmelske fader göra med var och en av er som inte av uppriktigt hjärta förlåter sin broder.«
Hebr 12,22-24
Dere står foran Sions berg, foran den levende Guds by, det himmelske Jerusalem; her er englenes tusener, her er fest og høytid, her er den forsamling av førstefødte, hvis navn står skrevet i himlene, her er den Gud som er alles dommer, her møter dere åndene av de rettferdige, som nå har nådd fullendelsen, her finner dere Jesus, mellommannen for den nye pakt, og her stenkes et blod som taler sterkere enn Abels.

Hymne
Lucis Creator optime
Store Skapar av heimsens ljos!
Dagar strøymer som elv mot os,
og i upphavet steig vår jord
herleg fram på ditt skaparord.
Morgon bjart let du fylgja kveld.
Dagen kalla du ljosens tjeld.
Spreid det myrkret som trugar no,
høyr vår bøn, sjå vår tåreflod!
Lat ’kje sjeli i myrkheims band
stengjast ute frå ljosets land,
og på ævlege tankar tom
inkje sjå av din herlegdom.
Inst i himlen me bankar på,
livsens ljos skal hjå Gud me få.
Hjelp oss leggja all vondskap av,
du som sjeli sitt ynde gav!
Gode Fader på gåvor rik,
dyre Sonen som er deg lik,
Heilag Ande, vår Trøystar blid,
vera lova i allan tid!
Ant. 1 I dine helliges herlige lysglans, før morgenstjernen har jeg født deg. Halleluja!
Salme 110 (1-5.7)
Messias, konge og prest
Han skal herske som konge inntil han har lagt alle sine fiender for sine 'otter (1 Kor 15,25).
Herren sa til min Herre: *
„Sett deg ved min høyre hånd.
Til jeg får lagt dine fiender *
til skammel for dine føtter.“
du skal herske blant dine fiender.
Kongsmakten er din på din veides dag, *
i dine helliges herlige lysglans.
har jeg født deg av mitt skjød.
Herren har svoret, og han angrer det ikke: *
„Du er prest på Melkisedeks vis til evig tid.“
knuser konger på sin vredes dag.
Han drikker av bekken på veien, *
derfor løfter han høyt sitt hode.
og den Hellige And,
som det var i opphavet, så nå og alltid *
og i all evighet. Amen.
Ant. 1 I dine helliges herlige lysglans, før morgenstjernen har jeg født deg. Halleluja!
Ant. 2 Salige de som hungrer og tørster etter rettferd, for de skal få stillet sin sult.
Salme 112
En rettferdig mann blir velsignet
Lev som barn av lyset, for det får godhet, rettferd og sannhet til å spire (Ef 5,8-9).
Salig den mann som frykter Herren, *
som har sin lyst i hans bud.
Hans ætt skal være mektig på jorden, *
de oppriktiges slekt skal velsignes.
hans rettferd står til evig tid.
Lys bryter frem i mørket for de oppriktige, *
for den som er nådig, barmhjertig og rettferdig.
som rettvist hevder sin sak.
Han skal aldri i evighet vakle, *
evig er minnet om rettskaffen mann.
i lit til Gud står hans hjerte fast.
Hans sinn er rolig og reddes ikke. *
Til slutt får han se sine fienders fall.
stor blir hans makt og ære.
Den onde må se det og harme seg, +
han skjærer tenner og tæres bort, *
til intet blir den ondes lyst.
og den Hellige And,
som det var i opphavet, så nå og alltid *
og i all evighet. Amen.
Ant. 2 Salige de som hungrer og tørster etter rettferd, for de skal få stillet sin sult.
Ant. 3 Pris vår Gud, alle hans tjenere, små og store. Halleluja!

Lammets bryllup
Halleluja, Halleluja!
Frelsen, æren og makten tilhører vår Gud, Halleluja, *
for sanne og rettferdige er hans dommer.
Halleluja, Halleluja!
Pris vår Gud, alle hans tjenere, Halleluja, *

som det var i opphavet, så nå og alltid *
og i all evighet. Amen.
Halleluja, Halleluja!
Ant. 3 Pris vår Gud, alle hans tjenere, små og store. Halleluja!

Ant. Du usle tjener! Hele gjelden ettergav jeg deg fordi du bad meg om det, burde ikke da også du ha vist din medtjener barmhjertighet, slik jeg gjorde med deg?
Magnificat (Marias lovsang)
Luk 1:46-55
Min sjel opphøyer Herren, *
min ånd fryder seg i Gud, min frelser,
han som har sett til sin ringe tjenerinne. *
For se, fra nå av skal alle slekter prise meg salig.
Hellig er hans navn.
Hans miskunn varer fra slekt til slekt *
mot dem som frykter ham.
han spredte dem som gikk med hovmodstanker.
Han støtte herskere ned fra tronen *
og opphøyet de ringe.
rikfolk ble sendt tomhendt bort.
Han tok seg av Israel, sin tjener, *
for han kom ihu sin miskunn.
Abraham og hans ætt til evig tid.

og den Hellige And.
og i all evighet. Amen.

Forbønner
La oss glede oss i Herren, for fra ham kommer alt som er godt. La oss be til ham av et oppriktig hjerte og si:
R. Herre, hør vår bønn.
- Du universets Far og Herre, du som sendte din Sønn til verden for at ditt navn skulle forherliges overalt, styrk din Kirkes vitnesbyrd blant alle folkeslag.
- Gjør oss lydhøre for apostlenes forkynnelse og trofaste mot troens sannhet.
- Du som elsker rettferd, gi de undertrykte deres rett. Løs de fangnes lenker, gi de blinde synet, oppreis de utstøtte, beskytt innvandrerne.
- Kom dem i møte som allerede er sovnet inn i din fred og gi dem ved din Sønn å nå frem til den hellige oppstandelse fra de døde.
Fader vår
Fader vår,
du som er i himmelen!
Helliget vorde ditt navn.
Komme ditt rike.
Skie din vilje,
som i himmelen så og på jorden.
Gi oss i dag vårt daglige brød.
Og forlat oss vår skyld,
som vi og forlater våre skyldnere.
Og led oss ikke inn i fristelse,
men fri oss fra det onde.
Bønn
Allmektige, evige Gud, du alle tings skaper og styrer, se i nåde til oss. Gi oss å tjene deg av hele vårt hjerte, og la oss få kjenne virkningen av din kjærlighet. Ved vår Herre Jesus Kristus, din Sønn, som lever og råder med deg i den Hellige Ånds enhet, Gud fra evighet til evighet.
Avslutning
Herren velsigne oss, bevare oss fra alt ondt og føre oss til det evige liv. Amen.
If you are sick or have a loved one who is sick,
Let's us this day, ask for the intercession of Saint Raphael the Archangel
Prayer to Archangel Raphael for Healing.
Oh glorious Archangel Raphael, healer of the body, mind, and spirit, you who are the medicine of God, I humbly turn to you with a heart filled with compassion for those who suffer. I ask for your gentle guidance and powerful intercession to bring healing to
[Mention the person's name or the specific situation].
May your healing touch soothe their pain, restore their strength, and bring comfort to their hearts. Grant them the grace to find peace and hope in this time of need. Amen.
All you Holy Angels and Archangels pray for the sick 
Before leaving the door of your house, make the Sign of the cross, and say: "I renounce you satan, your works and your service, and I am in Christ". Never leave the house without these words. These will be for you a rod, a weapon an irresistible tower. Not only will people not be able to harm you, but not even the devil... St. John Chrysostom
You cannot separate Mary from the story of Jesus. 
From the moment Christ entered the world, Mary was there. She said yes at the Annunciation. She carried Him in her womb. She stood near Him at the Cross. And after His Resurrection and Ascension, Scripture shows her praying with the disciples as the Church waited for the Holy Spirit.
But Mary was never the center. Jesus was.
That is exactly what Catholic devotion to Mary is supposed to do. She does not replace Christ, compete with Him, or take anything away from Him. She points us straight to her Son.
Her entire life says the same thing she told the servants at Cana: “Do whatever He tells you.”
Mary shows us what surrender looks like when God's plan does not make sense. She trusted when she could not see what was coming. She stayed faithful when following Jesus became painful. And she remained close to Him when others walked away.
Catholics honor Mary because God honored her first by choosing her to be the Mother of His Son. And the closer we grow to Mary, the closer she should always lead us to Jesus.
So maybe the better question is not, “Why do Catholics love Mary so much?”
If Jesus chose to bring Mary so deeply into His earthly life, why do you think so many Christians are uncomfortable making room for her in theirs?

Today, I choose to believe God for the impossible. I release every doubt, every fear, and every limitation I have placed on Him. I stand on the truth that nothing is too hard for my God.I believe for miracles. I believe for healing. I believe for restoration. I believe for open doors. I believe for breakthroughs that only His hand can bring.I walk by faith and not by sight. I pray bold prayers. I dream bold dreams. I expect bold victories.
God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all I could ask or think!
What He has started in me, He will finish, and it will be glorious.
In Jesus’ Name, I believe and receive! Amen.
What if a photograph of the Eucharist appeared to show the face of the Child Jesus?
A story connected to Charles de Foucauld claims that the exposed Blessed Sacrament was once photographed during Adoration.
But when the film was developed, something unexpected reportedly appeared.
Instead of seeing only the Host, the photograph seemed to show the gentle face of a child. Many who have seen the image believe it resembles Jesus, peaceful, alive, and looking directly toward you.
There are also claims that special blessings or peace were promised to homes that keep this image, though these details should be treated carefully and are not part of Church teaching.
But here is what we know with certainty:
→ Jesus does not need to appear in a photograph for the Eucharist to be a miracle.
The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Our eyes may still see bread.
But after consecration, it is no longer ordinary bread.
It is Jesus Himself.
Extraordinary signs can stir our faith, but our faith does not depend on them. Every tabernacle already holds something greater than any photograph could ever prove: Christ truly present among us.
And maybe that is the part we forget too easily.
If you truly believed Jesus was waiting for you in the Eucharist, would it change how often you went to see Him?

MAKE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Heavenly Father, I come before You as Your child, in great need of Your help. I have physical health needs, emotional needs, spiritual needs, and interpersonal needs. Many of my problems have been caused by my own failures, neglect and sinfulness, for which I humbly beg Your forgiveness, Lord. But I also ask You to forgive the sins of my ancestors whose failures have left their effects on me in the form of unwanted tendencies, behavior patterns and defects in body, mind and spirit. Heal me, Lord, of all these disorders.
With Your help I sincerely forgive everyone, especially living or dead members of my family tree, who have directly offended me, or my loved ones in any way, or those whose sins have resulted in our present sufferings and disorders. In the name of Your divine Son Jesus, and in the power of His Holy Spirit, I ask You, Father, to deliver me and my entire family tree from the influence of the evil one. Free all living and dead members of my family tree, including those in adoptive relationships, and those in extended family relationships, from every contaminating form of bondage; By Your loving concern for us, heavenly Father, and by the shed blood of your Precious Son Jesus, I beg You to extend Your blessing to me and all my living and deceased relatives. Heal every negative effect transmitted through all past generations, and prevent such negative effects in future generations of my family tree.
I symbolically place the Cross of Jesus over the head of each person in my family tree, and between each generation; I ask You to let the cleansing blood of Jesus purify the blood lines in my family lineage. Set Your protective angels to encamp around us, and permit Archangel Raphael, the patron of healing, to administer Your divine healing power to all of us, even in areas of genetic disability. Give special power to our family members' guardian angels to heal, protect, guide and encourage each of us in all our needs. Let Your healing power be released at this very moment and let it continue as long as Your sovereignty permits.
In our family tree, Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding in family love. And let there be an even deeper bonding with You, Lord, by the Holy Spirit, to Your Son Jesus. Let the family of the Holy Trinity pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence, so that our family may recognize and manifest that love in all our relationships. All of our unknown needs we include with this petition that we pray in Jesus precious Name. Amen.
IN CLOSING, MAKE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

he most chilling thing St. Faustina said she saw in hell was not the fire... 
In Diary 741, she wrote that an angel led her into the depths of hell. What she witnessed was so terrible that she said she could not have survived the sight without God sustaining her.
She described seven torments suffered by the damned:
1. THE LOSS OF GOD:
→ The soul is forever separated from the One it was created for.
2. ENDLESS REMORSE:
→ The conscience sees the truth, but there is no longer a chance to change.
3. KNOWING IT WILL NEVER END:
→ The soul knows its condition will never change.
4. A FIRE THAT PENETRATES THE SOUL:
→ Faustina described a terrible spiritual fire that does not destroy the soul.
5. DARKNESS AND A SUFFOCATING ODOR:
→ Even in the darkness, the damned see one another and the evil around them.
6. THE CONSTANT COMPANY OF SATAN.
7. HORRIBLE DESPAIR:
→ Hatred of God, curses, vile words, and blasphemies.
But then Faustina wrote something that may be even more frightening.
She said most of the souls she saw there were people who had not believed hell existed.
Jesus Himself warned us:
→ “Be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.” Matthew 10:28
And St. John Vianney prayed,
→ “I fear hell, because there will not be the sweet consolation of loving You.”
But this warning is not a reason to despair. It is a reason to turn back to God while you still can.
Faustina said the experience made her pray even harder for sinners:
→ “Consequently, I pray even more fervently for the conversion of sinners. I incessantly implore God’s mercy upon them.”
Hell is real. Mortal sin is serious. But Divine Mercy is also real. While you are alive, you can repent, go to Confession, leave sin behind, and come home to Jesus.
If you knew with absolute certainty that heaven and hell were real, what is one thing you would change about your life today?

"THEY CAN MOVE LATERALLY, SO THEY CAN USE OTHER PEOPLE TO CAUSE YOU HARM"
"YOU HAVE TO WATCH YOUR FLANK"
BE INVISIBLE.
TWO HOURS IN PURGATORY IS MORE THAN 80 YEARS OF LIFE ON EARTH...
Testimony of mother Esperanza:.
The Lord said to me: "I will show you with what glory the Bishop enters Heaven because he approved the world's first Sanctuary of Merciful Love."
Then the Lord disappeared and the bishop arrived with his glorious body.
The bishop said to her: "Mother Esperanza, the Lord has sent me to thank you because you have called me to approve the sanctuary... The Lord has been well pleased
Now I will have the glory of Heaven for all Eternity, but I must tell you, before I went to Heaven, I suffered much in Purgatory...
The mother replied: "Your Excellency, you died yesterday in Rome, why do you tell me you suffered for a long time if only two days have passed? "...
The bishop answered: "Mother Esperanza, the time of the afterlife is not the same as the one we live on earth, I have suffered more in these two days of purgatory than in my 80 years of my earthly life...
Because when the soul dies; it appears before God and in the presence of God, the soul is ashamed of the behavior it had in life neglecting the Lord.
I must tell everyone that the afterlife exists and that the most important thing on earth is to love the Lord.. ALL THE REST IS USELESS".
"In this terrible turmoil currently brewing up,
you will see the brightness of my Flame of Love illuminating Heaven and earth by the effusion of its effect of grace I am passing on to souls in this dark night."
- Our Lady
