En lisant

Book of the Prophet Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17

34:11 For thus says the Lord God: Voir, I myself will seek my sheep, and I myself will visit them.

34:12 Just as a shepherd visits his flock, in the day when he will be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep. And I will deliver them from all the places to which they had been scattered in the day of gloom and darkness.

34:15 I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.

34:16 I will seek what had been lost. And I will lead back again what had been cast aside. And I will bind up what had been broken. And I will strengthen what had been infirm. And I will preserve what was fat and strong. And I will feed them on judgment.

34:17 Mais quant à toi, O my flocks, thus says the Lord God: Voir, I judge between cattle and cattle, among rams and among he-goats.

Deuxième lecture

Saint Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians 15:20 – 26, 28

15:20 Mais maintenant, Christ est ressuscité d'entre les morts, comme les prémices de ceux qui dorment.

15:21 Pour certainement, la mort est venue par un homme. Et ainsi, la résurrection des morts est venue par un homme

15:22 Et tout comme en Adam tous meurent, ainsi aussi en Christ tous seront ramenés à la vie,

15:23 mais chacun dans son ordre: Christ, comme prémices, et ensuite, ceux qui sont du Christ, qui ont cru en son avènement.

15:24 Après c'est la fin, quand il aura remis le royaume à Dieu le Père, quand il aura vidé toute principauté, et l'autorité, et pouvoir.

15:25 Car il lui faut régner, jusqu'à ce qu'il ait mis tous ses ennemis sous ses pieds.

15:26 Dernièrement, l'ennemi appelé la mort sera détruit. Car il a soumis toutes choses sous ses pieds. Et bien qu'il dise,

15:28 Et quand tout lui aura été soumis, alors même le Fils lui-même sera soumis à Celui qui lui a tout soumis, afin que Dieu soit tout en tous.

Gospel

Évangile selon Matthieu 25:31-46

25:31 But when the Son of man will have arrived in his majesty, and all the Angels with him, then he will sit upon the seat of his majesty.

25:32 And all the nations shall be gathered together before him. And he shall separate them from one another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

25:33 And he shall station the sheep, en effet, on his right, but the goats on his left.

25:34 Then the King shall say to those who will be on his right: ‘Come, you blessed of my Father. Possess the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

25:35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;

25:36 naked, and you covered me; sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.’

25:37 Then the just will answer him, en disant: 'Seigneur, when have we see you hungry, and fed you; thirsty, and given you drink?

25:38 And when have we seen you a stranger, and taken you in? Or naked, and covered you?

25:39 Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and visit to you?'

25:40 Et en réponse, the King shall say to them, ‘Amen I say to you, whenever you did this for one of these, the least of my brothers, you did it for me.’

25:41 Then he shall also say, to those who will be on his left: ‘Depart from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.

25:42 For I was hungry, and you did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and you did not give me to drink;

25:43 I was a stranger and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not cover me; sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.’

25:44 Then they will also answer him, en disant: 'Seigneur, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to you?'

25:45 Then he shall respond to them by saying: ‘Amen I say to you, whenever you did not do it to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.’

25:46 And these shall go into eternal punishment, but the just shall go into eternal life.”
