HOMELIES DE L'ANNEE C

On this 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, our Lord Jesus invites us to this school where we must learn to pray properly. In this way, we will be able to discover the purity of true prayer, the fruit of hope inspired by the Saint. Let us also pray with grandparents and the elderly on this fifth world day dedicated to them.

On this sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, let us celebrate the mystery of salvation with all humility, sitting at the feet of Him through whom the promises of God the Father are fulfilled. He shows us the priceless glory of the mystery of salvation among all nations, and this in the hope of glory.

The mystery of the Holy Trinity, which the Church celebrates just after Pentecost Sunday, reveals to us the glory that God holds from before the beginning until eternity. The One God in Three Persons can only be better understood through the love he manifests and through the faith and hope of our disciples in him.

Our dear Mother is in Heaven. She lived on this planet where we constitute the visible Church. She is now alive with her Son in the invisible Church. On this day, let us strengthen our devotion to the one who never ceases to intercede for us.

On this day of Pentecost, we celebrate this marvelous gift that the Father gives us through his Son Jesus. The Holy Spirit reminds us of all that Christ said, so that we can proclaim it in turn. Every day the Church bathes us in the gifts of this Spirit through the various sacraments.

After his ascension, Christ exhorts us to wait with great patience for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Let us ask for the grace, during this time, to live in unity, which is a visible sign of the love of Christ's disciples.

Today we celebrate a great feast: the Solemnity of the Ascension. After his resurrection, we remained with Christ for 40 days before he departs from us today. He does not leave us orphans. He promises us his Spirit to continue the work he began.

Si le Fils de Dieu s’est incarné, c’est pour permettre à l’humanité de se lier à la vie divine grâce à l’Esprit Saint qu’il répand sur nous. C’est cet Esprit qui illumine certains hommes pour poursuivre, dans l’Eglise, la mission du Fils qui est Un avec son Père. C'est la méditation que nous proposons ce sixième dimanche de Pâques.

Le Père a envoyé son Fils par amour ; Jésus est passé par la passion et par la mort au nom de l'amour. En ressuscitant, il nous envoie son Esprit qui nous émerveille et nous ouvre le Royaume des cieux. C’est dans cet élan que nous célébrons ce cinquième dimanche de Pâques avec la conviction que Dieu nous aime et nous devons aimer les uns les autres.

The resurrection of Christ extends its effects in an unlimited way to all the realities of the apostles' lives. The Lord never ceases to surprise his disciples in different places: at the tomb, in the house, on the road, at the river. Today's Gospel describes the scene of his appearance on the shores of the Sea of Tiberias.

Joy is overflowing on this feast day. We celebrate the Risen Christ, for whom we have lived 40 days of Lent in memory of his 40 days of temptation in the desert. Today, let us sing with the choir of angels and the multitude of the baptized for God's blessing on his people.

In the Passion of Christ according to Saint John, there is a remarkable revelation of the divine nature of the Son. Yet he learned to obey in order to bring salvation. His suffering had no meaning for those around him. He was a mere condemned man. But Christ takes the destiny of humanity into his own hands with complete lucidity.
