    17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

    Office: Psalter week 1, Te Deum

    Mass prop. Gloria. Creed. Preface of Sunday

    Vestment: Green

    Today’s Rosary: Glorious Mystery

    Vespers II of the 17th Sunday of the year

    WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY

    Theme of the Sunday: WHEN YOU PRAY SAY “FATHER.....” The Bible urges us to pray always, to thank God in all the situations of our life (I Thes. 5:17-18). But what is prayer? When should we pray? How and why should we pray? The first reading and the gospel give us answers to these questions. We pray so that we may see the world, people and history as God sees theirs. We need to purify our hearts and this can only happen in prayer. The second reading tells us what the Christian is. A Christian is one who, through baptism, has become a part of the body of Christ. Being in Christ, the disciple prays like him.

    ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Cf. Ps 67: 6-7, 36

    God is in his holy place, God who unites those who dwell in his house; he himself gives might and strength to his people.

    The Gloria

    Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you. We bless you. We adore you. We glorify you. We give you thanks for your great glory. Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

    COLLECT

    O God, protector of those who hope in you, without whom nothing has firm foundation, nothing is holy, bestow in abundance your mercy upon us and grant that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may use the good things that pass in such a way as to hold fast even now to those that ever endure. Through our Lord Jesus Christ…..

    -FIRST READING-

    “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once.”

    A reading from the Book of Genesis (Genesis 18:20-32)

    In those days: The Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know.” So the men turned from there, and went towards Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the Lord. Then Abraham drew near, and said, “Will you indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” Abraham answered, “Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” Again he spoke to him, and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.” Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.” He said, “Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.” Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”

    The word of the Lord.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 13b:1-2a.2bcd-3. 5-7ab.7c-8 (R. 3a)

    R/. On the day I called, you answered me, O Lord.

    I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;
    You have heard the words of my mouth.
    In the presence of the angels I praise you.
    I bow down towards your holy temple. R/.

    I give thanks to your name
    For your merciful love and your faithfulness.
    You have exalted your name and your promise over all.
    On the day I called, you answered me;
    You increased the strength of my soul. R/.

    R/. On the day I called, you answered me, O Lord.

    The Lord is high, yet he looks on the lowly,
    And the haughty he knows from afar.
    You give me life though I walk amid affliction;
    You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes. R/.

    With your right hand you save me;
    The Lord will accomplish this for me.
    O Lord, your merciful love is eternal;
    Discard not the work of your hands. R/.

    -SECOND READING-

    “God made you alive with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses.”

    A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians (Colossians 2: 12-14)

    Brethren: You were buried with Christ in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, having cancelled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

    The word of the Lord.

    ALLELUIA Romans 6:15bc

    Alleluia. You have received the spirit of sonship; in him we cry, “Abba! Father!” Alleluia.

    -GOSPEL

    “Ask, and it will be given to you.”

    A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 11: 1- 13)

    Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.” And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything’? I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs. And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

    The Gospel of the Lord.


    THE CREED (I BELIEVE)

    I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible, I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ the only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father from all ages, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father, through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation. He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life, who proceed from the father and son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and life of the word to come. Amen.

    PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

    Celebrant:

    Our Lord Jesus Christ reminds us of the need to pray always. Following his exhortation, let us, with one heart and mind, turn to him with our petitions.

    FOR THE CHURCH: that she may remain steadfast in her task of evangelization and the building up of God’s kingdom on earth. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR COMMUNITIES IN OUR COUNTRY EXPERIENCING ARMED VIOLENCE: that the Lord may bring to an end their distressing situations and fill their land with his peace. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THE HABIT OF PRAYER: that they may rediscover God as their Father who is ever ready to answer their cry when they seek him in their time of need. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR MEMBERS OF OUR WORSHIPPING COMMUNITY: that we may seek to nourish our relationship with Jesus Christ with the word of God, the sacraments and consistent life of prayer. Let us pray to the Lord.

    FOR OTHER INTENTIONS: (the sick, church projects or other activities).

    FOR THE DEAD, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF OUR PARISH COMMUNITY AND FAMILY MEMBERS: that they may find eternal rest with the Lord. Let us pray to the Lord.

    We pray in silence for our private intentions.

    Celebrant:

    Father, through your Son, you have shown to us your inexhaustible mercy. We humbly ask you, in your loving kindness, to safeguard us and to hear our prayers. Through Christ our Lord.

    R/. Amen.

    TODAY'S REFLECTION

    At the depth of each and every one of us is a desire to connect to God. Prayer is the expression of such a desire. The disciples of Jesus ask for the greatest of all lessons; to be taught to pray. In prayer we commune with God. We come to have a beatific experience of God and heaven. Above all, Jesus teaches us that, when we pray, the floodgates of heaven are opened. But how do we open the floodgates of heaven in prayer? The only virtue needed for us in prayer to open the doors of heaven is persistence. Any time we pray, we shift the goalpost of life to our area of competitive advantage over the devil. The forces of evil are overpowered when we pray.

    PERSONAL DEVOTIONAL

    Lord God, my saviour I cry out all day, and at night I come before you. Hear my prayers; listen to my cry for help! Psalm 88:1

    It is written, “He disappointed the devices of the wicked so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise” (Job 5:12).

    Everlasting Father, please frustrate all conspiracies and evil schemes directed against me in the name of Jesus.
    Most High God, my life is in your hand, please be my defense (Psalm 7:10, Job 22:25). Protect me when I go out, when I come in, and all the days of my life in the name of Jesus.
    Pray with Psalm 91 (meditatively)

  • Beloved, your works, whether good or bad are in God's book of records. If you did not receive immediate reward or commendation,it does not mean that heaven has forgotten you. Men may forget your good works but God will never forget. Heaven's rewards may not come by weeks or months but at the appointed time, and there will be a bang.

  • *BUSY HERE AND THERE; YET THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS LOST*

    "As the king was passing by, he cried out to the king and told him, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle, and a soldier turned aside, brought a prisoner to me, and told me, *‘Guard this man. If he turns up missing for any reason at all, you’ll pay for it with your life* or be fined one talentr of silver.’ While your servant was busy here and there, the prisoner escaped.” The king told him, “By your actions you’ve earned the proper judgment!” 1 Kings 20:39-40

    I just looked at the book by John Maxwell titled MAKE TODAY COUNT. He said:" *_Any realistic assessment of priorities in any area of life must start with a realistic assessment of what a person must do._"* It is so sad that a lot of people have lost the opportunity of achieving their most important goals or assignments in life because they got busy with other things that are transitory, pedestrian and unprofitable to their main purposes. The only job given to that soldier was to just guard or keep one man. Look at Luke 10:40-42 [Amplified]: "But Martha was very busy and distracted with all of her serving responsibilities; and she approached Him and said, “Lord, is it of no concern to You that my sister has left me to do the serving alone? Tell her to help me and do her part.” But the Lord replied to her, *“Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered and anxious about so many things; but only one thing is necessary,* for Mary has chosen the good part [that which is to her advantage], which will not be taken away from her.” Oh dear Lord, please help me not to lose fellowship with you, or fail in getting people saved or in performing my essential works in life by being busy with other things in life in Jesus Christ name. Amen. Good morning. Amanim

  • Most people know me as Mr. Ibu’s adopted daughter. But what they don’t know is how that bond came to be. My biological father was a soldier and a very close friend to Mr. Ibu. A brave man. But he passed away when I was still very young. That’s when Mr. Ibu stepped in — took me under his wing, raised me, loved me like I was his own blood.

    He sent me to school, supported me, and when the time came, I travelled to Cyprus to further my studies. Life went on.

    Then in 2020, I received a strange message on WhatsApp. It read, “Please, help… Daddy needs you.” At first, I thought it was a scam. But something inside me told me to check.

    That’s when I discovered that Mr. Ibu had moved from Abuja to Lagos… and he was suffering. He had nothing — no support, no stable home. Sick, broke, and abandoned.

    Every day, he begged me for money. And I sent what I could. Over and over. Until I got tired and asked, “What exactly is going on, Daddy?”

    When I finally learned how sick he really was — and that nobody, not even family, was taking care of him — I booked a flight back to Nigeria immediately.

    When I saw him, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was a shadow of the man I knew. Thin. Weak. Broken.

    I took him straight to the hospital and cared for him like my own father.

    And it was there, lying on that hospital bed, that he said something that shook me to my core.

    He looked at me and whispered, “Jasmine… they want me dead. That’s the truth. They don’t care about me. They only want my properties. They’re waiting for me to die so they can take everything I worked for.”

    He paused, looked away, and said with pain in his voice, “Even my wife — the woman I called my own — cheated on me. Jasmine, don’t let her come near me. I’ll never trust her again. Even if I die, know this: I never found peace in this world. Not in my marriage… not in my home.”

    Those were his words. His truth. Not rumors. Not gossip.

    The man who made the whole world laugh died with tears in his heart — not just from sickness, but from heartbreak, betrayal, and neglect.

    I was the only one who stood by him when everyone else turned their backs.

    So I ask you — where were those who claimed to love him? Why did they wait until his death to pretend?

    Rest well, Mr. Ibu. Your laughter lives on. Your pain is no longer hidden.

    If this story touched you, drop a candle for late Mr. Ibu.

  • WHEN YOU LEAVE THE CHURCH SYSTEM OF TODAY, THIS IS WHAT GOD DOES FOR YOU….

    Let’s start with a simple analogy. When your heart was illuminated from heaven, and you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you left Satan. Since then, have you noticed that Satan has NOT left you alone?

    Yes, by God’s grace, Satan does not control your life today - as he used to. But, have you been able to get rid of him completely? I’m sure the answer is NO.

    In exactly the same way, when God illuminates your heart and you leave the evil, lukewarm church system of today, please always remember that the church system does NOT quite leave you!

    This is partly because the church system of today possesses the STUBBORN NATURE of its designer and builder – Satan.

    It’s also because the ways of the church system of today blends excellently with our fleshly nature. So, depending on how long you have spent in the church system, its spirit continues to hover around you, seeking to influence you as the Lord rescues you from its clinging claws to follow Christ.

    Therefore, when God rescues you from the church system, please always remember this: you’ll need a lot of PATIENCE and HUMILITY to move forward in the journey ahead. (A journey that many believers will find very, very challenging.)

    As you get out of the church system it will take some time for God to get the church system out of you. Primarily, this is because the church system was NOT built around Christ. Rather, it was built around MAN! Built by MAN. Built for MAN. (This is why, till today, many sincere, Christ-loving believers find it difficult to leave the church system – even after they realise that Jesus Christ is NOT at its centre).

    But when God calls you out of that church system - to properly integrate you into the heavenly Body of Christ - it will take a considerable time for you to adjust to the process.

    There would be lots and lots to learn and re-learn. The primary lesson will revolve around how to be LED DIRECTLY FROM HEAVEN by the spirit of God. This will be in contrast to how you were LED in the church system both by your own will, and by the WILL OF MEN (pastors).

    Now, let’s break this down further. In God’s plan of salvation, a believer’s life no longer belongs to him. It belongs EXCLUSIVELY to God! And that life is supposed to be lived EXCLUSIVELY for Christ (2 Cor 5:15). Because of this divine reality, that life can only be CONTROLLED from heaven. This is why Jesus (who modelled the life we ought to live as believers) kept repeating words like these: “I can of mine own self do NOTHING (John 5:19,30, etc).

    So, when God rescues you from the church system of today, one of the FIRST LESSONS He’ll teach you relates to directing your attention to WHOM you were called in salvation.

    Most believers that come out of the church system of today would want God to show them WHERE to go next (that is, which new church/fellowship to attend next).

    But, Christianity is primarily not about WHERE, it’s about a WHO!!! And that WHO is Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

    So, God will take time to get you to become more acquainted with Jesus MORE INTIMATELY. Yes, you may have known Him in salvation. But, God wants you to know Him MORE INTIMATELY. To see Him. To hear Him. To smell Him. To feel Him. To touch Him. And, above all, to be LED BY HIM!

    This is NOT a lesson that is taught primarily by man. Rather, it is taught from heaven by the Spirit. The Spirit of God.

    So, when you leave the church system of today, instead of rushing to join another church, God might ‘leave you’ for some time with the Holy Spirit to be your direct Teacher – rather than men.

    The Holy Spirit will teach you more and more of Christ AND how to be led by His Spirit. To accomplish this goal, He will supernaturally plant resources around you. Resources that you may not notice – if ALL your focus is channelled towards the desire to simply be led to the next church/fellowship!

    But, if you are sensitive, you may notice the resources He’s sending your way. A book here. A message there. An article here. A video there. As well as one, two, or three brethren that He connects to you for discussions/informal fellowship. And so on.

    As you utilise these resources and continuously remain sensitive to His leading, you’d be amazed at how you’ll begin to GROW in the Spirit and in your sensitivity to Him!

    And that’s because, gradually, He’ll shift your focus from the ‘WHERE’ (which we learnt from the church system) to the ‘WHO’ (as ordained by God in salvation).

    It is in this way that the Spirit of the Lord will eventually LEAD YOU to the physical fellowship that HE Himself has prepared for you - and prepared you for. (For some believers, this process may take years!!!)

    In such an assembly, you’ll find other believers that may have undergone a similar divine training/journey. Believers that have been WEANED from the evil origin/ways of the church system – so that their focus can be on Christ ALONE. Where Christ ALONE is at the centre of the church.

    It is only in such a Christ-honouring assembly that you can truly grow in fellowship as ordained by God (Heb 10:25).

    The alternative is to rush from one church/fellowship in the church system of today to another church/fellowship that has NOT been delivered from the spirit of the church system of today. What a disaster!

    And, then, God will have to rescue you again. And the process starts all over again. Of course, there’s no sense in this. And there’s no time to waste in this perilous end-time.

    So, when God delivers you from the church system of today, please understand that there will be A PERIOD OF RE-ORIENTATION as the Holy Spirit Himself realigns your focus back to Christ as the SPRINGBOARD of your life. A life that is controlled from heaven and channelled into the will of God on earth.

    The journey will be quite challenging. But, at the end, you’ll be grateful that God, in His wisdom, did not only take you out of the evil church system of today, but that He also took the evil church system of today out of you!

    So that you may thrive and flourish in the life of Christ (and in destiny) – as ordained by God when He saved you by His unfailing love for your precious soul.

    Thanks for reading, God bless you.

    (PS - To understand WHY/HOW the church system of today became lukewarm and evil, pls have a look at the article titled, 'THIS IS WHY GOD WILL NEVER, EVER COMPROMISE WITH THE CHURCH SYSTEM OF TODAY....'

  • The obvious trap that anti-GMO campaigners keep falling into is to base their argument around science instead of economics. That's a surefire way of losing the debate and making yourself look like some kind of Pastor Chris conspiracy kook.

    Look, I come from a family where if you close your eyes and throw a stone, it will hit a doctor. They're like ants. And I can tell you for free that doctors are some of the most arrogant and intransigent professionals you will ever meet, especially where it concerns things that fall within their scope which they don't fully understand - but they will never admit it to you.

    A doctor is like a pilot. They are trained to carry out specific tasks using a written set of instructions and parameters. Everything functions off checklists, instructions, and equipment that someone else created, and their job is to demonstrate knowledge of, and compliance with these things. It's not a doctor's job to question the funding, motive, or methodology behind a peer-reviewed research paper. It's not a doctor's job to question why certain research studies have NOT been carried out and why.

    A doctor's job, like a pilot's job, is to read what someone put in the book and follow the instructions built on this information. If a study conclusively proving that GMO food has negative health consequences has not been done because nobody will fund it, it's not a doctor's job to ask why. Just like despite Boeing whistleblowers as far back as 2014 having complained about the 737 MAX program, it wasn't the Lion Air pilot's job to determine whether the design of this aircraft posed any hazards. Their job was to follow checklist and do as they were told.

    The truth that you will never hear a doctor admit is that most doctors are not especially knowledgeable about things outside their narrow field of specialisation. And even within their field, the knowledge they have is the knowledge that the medical industry allows them to have. Until now as you're reading this, many American doctors and nurses are still taught that there are racial differences in how pain is felt, and that black women feel less pain than white women. As a result of this completely racist, unscientific, 18th century nonsense which nobody has removed from the books, black women in the US are routinely given less anaesthetic during medical procedures, and they are 7-12 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than white women.

    If you point this out to an American doctor, he will find excuses to deny the obvious or take offense at being queried by a layman who hasn't done 100 level Anatomy. Until Bill Gates funds a peer-reviewed study showing that this 18th century anachronism shouldn't be taught in medical school, and then lobbies the Department of Health to change its guidelines, they will keep defending it because that's what the books say.

    So as an anti-GMO campaigners, the dumbest thing you can do is start quoting obscure or suppressed studies to 'prove' to a medical professional that GMOs are bad. It's a fight you cannot win and you would be foolish to even try. By the time he whips out a paragraph of 5-syllable words that he learnt from his medical textbook, you'll be left blinking your eyes and looking like a dickhead. Bill Gates is a very smart guy. He has ensured that the entire medical research space cannot produce any research that contradicts the one that supports his financial interests, and typically nobody who wears a white coat dares to stand up to him.

    So stick to the economic argument, which is that one man cannot be allowed to privatise and monopolise an entire continent's food supply. Force them to remain on the defensive by using an argument that anyone can understand, and there is no logical comeback for.

    Stop losing and looking silly because you want to take on a white coat on their own turf. It doesn't end well. Stick to what you can prove and defend empirically. Leave the Pastor Chris nonsense out.
