ST VINCENT DE PAUL, P. (MEMORIAL)

Vestment: White
Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Cf. Lk 4: 18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me and sent me to preach the good news to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted.

COLLECT
O God, who for the relief of the poor and the formation of the clergy endowed the Priest Saint Vincent de Paul with apostolic virtues, grant, we pray, that, afire with that same spirit, we may love what he loved and put into practice what he taught. Through our Lord…….

FIRST READING
“I come and I will dwell in the midst of you.”
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 2:1-5.10-11a)

I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! Then I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length.” And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him, and said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it. For I will be to her a wall of fire round about, says the Lord, and I will be the glory within her.’ “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for behold, I come and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord. And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you.”

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Jeremiah31:10.11-l2ab.13 (R.10d).

R/. The Lord will keep us, as a shepherd keeps his flock.

Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
and declare it in the islands afar off;
say, “He who scattered Israel will gather him,
and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.” R/.

For the Lord has ransomed Jacob,
And has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Sion,
And they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord. R/.

Then shall the maidens rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
I will turn their mourning into joy,
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. R/.

ALLELUIA
2 Timothy1:10.

Alleluia. Our Saviour Jesus Christ abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Alleluia.

GOSPEL
“The Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men. They were afraid to ask him about this saying.”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 9:43b-45)

At that time: While all were marveling at everything Jesus did, he said to his disciples, “Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men.” But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

KUMBUKUMBU YA MT. VINSETI WA PAULO, Padre.

SOMO LA KWANZA
Zakaria 2:5-9.14-15a

Somo katika kitabu cha Nabii Zakaria.

Niliyainua macho yangu, nikaangalia. Tazama, alionekana mtu mwenye kamba ya kupimia mkononi. Nikamwuliza, “Una kwenda wapi?” Akanijibu, “Nakwenda kuupima Yerusalemu, ili nione una upana na urefu gani." Tazama, yule malaika aliyesimama nami akasimama kimya, lakini malaika mwingine akamwendea, akamwambia: "Nenda mbio, ukamwambie kijana yule: Yerusalemu utakuwa k**a mji usio na boma, kwa sababu ya wingi wa watu na wanyama waliomo ndani yake. Mimi mwenyewe, asema Bwana, nitauzunguka k**a ukuta wa moto; nitakuwa utukufu wake ndani yake." “Imba na furahi,ee binti Sioni, maana, tazama, ninakuja ili nikae kati yako, asema Bwana. Na katika siku ile, mataifa mengi watajiunga na Bwana, nao watakuwa watu wangu, nami nitakuwa kati yako."

*Neno Ia Bwana.*

*ZABURI YA KUITIKIZANA*
_Yeremia 31:10, 11-12ab, 13(K.10d)_

K. Bwana atatulinda
k**a mchungaji alilindavyo kundi lake.

Enyi mataifa, lisikieni neno la Bwana,
litangazeni katika pwani za mbali;
semeni: “Aliyemtawanya Israeli atamkusanya;
atamlinda k**a mchungaji alindavyo kundi lake.” K.

Kwa maana Bwana atamwokoa Yakobo,
atamwopoa katika mkono wa mtu
mwenye nguvu kumpita yeye.
Watakuja na kupaza sauti kwa shangwe juu ya Mlima Sioni,
wataukimbilia wema wa Bwana. K.

Hapo binti watafurahi kwa kucheza ngoma,
na vijana na wazee vilevile.
Nitageuza huzuni yao kuwa changamko,
nitawatuliza na kuwafurahisha baada ya mateso yao. K.

*SHANGILIO LA INJILI* _2 Timotheo 1:10_
K. Aleluya. W.Aleluya.
K. Mwokozi wetu Kristo Yesu ameyashinda mauti na ametangaza uzima wa milele kwa Injili.
W. Aleluya.

*INJILI* _Luka 9:43b-45_

Somo la Injili takatifu ilivyoandikwa na Luka.

Wakati ule: Watu wote walipokuwa wanastaajabia mambo yote aliyoyafanya,Yesu aliwaambia wafuasi wake, "Tunzeni masikioni mwenu maneno haya. Mwana wa Mtu anakwenda kutiwa mikononi mwa watu." Lakini hawakulifahamu neno hilo; lilifichwa kwao wasilitambue, nao wakaogopa kumwuliza maana ya neno hilo.

SHALOM

DAY 8 - NOVENA TO ARCHANGELS RAPHAEL, MICHAEL, GABRIEL

SATURDAY - 27/09/2025

PRAYER INTENTION
Today we pray for deliverance from fear, anxiety, and despair, through the intercession of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael.

*MEDITATION*
*When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. — (Psalm 56:3)*

Fear, anxiety, and despair are common struggles in our spiritual journeys, threatening to pull us away from trusting in God’s providence. The Church teaches us that the angels, especially St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, serve as protectors and messengers of God’s peace and grace. In times of distress, we can turn to their intercession to receive strength and hope. St. Michael fights for us in spiritual battles, St. Gabriel brings God’s consoling messages, and St. Raphael heals our emotional wounds and offers divine guidance. Let us trust in God’s plan, confident that His angels surround us with care.

As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, "From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession" (CCC 336). By calling on these holy archangels, we ask them to defend us from the torment of fear and despair, bringing us the peace that comes from trusting fully in God.

*In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen*

*I Confess to You*

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.

*Come Holy Spirit*

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

*The Lord's Prayer*

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not Into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.Amen.

*Hail Mary*
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us Sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

*Opening prayer*
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith and trust in Your divine providence. Through the powerful intercession of Your holy archangels—St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael—we seek Your guidance, protection, and healing. We ask You to send them to our aid, that we may stand firm against the forces of darkness, listen attentively to Your voice, and receive Your healing grace in our lives. May these nine days of prayer draw us closer to You and strengthen us in our journey of faith. Amen.

*DAY 8 - NOVENA TO ARCHANGELS RAPHAEL, MICHAEL, GABRIEL*

Heavenly Father, through the intercession of Your glorious archangels—St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael—we humbly ask for protection, healing, and guidance on our journey of faith. May St. Michael defend us against all spiritual attacks and deliver us from evil. May St. Gabriel bring clarity and understanding of Your will in our lives. May St. Raphael bring healing to our bodies, minds, and souls. We lift up our personal petitions before You, trusting in the power of their intercession. (Mention your intentions here). We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

*A Prayer for Peace and Deliverance in Times of Fear and Despair*

Heavenly Father,
In moments of deep fear, anxiety, and despair, we come before You, seeking deliverance through the intercession of Your holy archangels, St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael. We ask for the courage to stand firm against the forces of darkness that try to shake our faith and for the grace to trust in Your loving care.

St. Michael, mighty protector, defend us in our spiritual battles, driving away the spirits of fear and hopelessness that cloud our hearts. St. Gabriel, messenger of God's peace, help us hear and trust in the words of comfort that the Lord speaks to our souls. St. Raphael, the divine healer, restore our minds, bodies, and spirits, and lead us on the path of healing and hope.

We place all our fears, anxieties, and worries at Your feet, trusting in Your providence. Grant us Your peace, Lord, and the assurance that You are with us, always guiding and protecting us.
Through the intercession of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, may we live in the fullness of Your peace. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

*(Prayer of Consecration to the Archangels)*

O Holy Archangels, St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, with full confidence in your powerful intercession, we consecrate ourselves to your protection and guidance. We place our lives, our families, and all that we hold dear under your heavenly care.

St. Michael, mighty protector of the Church, defend us in battle. Shield us from the attacks of the evil one and help us to remain steadfast in faith, courageous in trials, and true to God's will.

O glorious Archangels, we humbly ask you to carry our petitions to the throne of God. Watch over us, protect us, and lead us ever closer to Christ. Through your intercession, may we grow in holiness and one day share in the eternal joy of Heaven.

*Glory be to the Father*

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

*In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen*

*“In a little while I will fill this house with splendour.”*
*A reading from the Book of the Prophet Haggai (Haggai 2: 1-9)*

In the second year of Darius the king, in the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, ‘Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not in your sight as nothing? Yet now take courage, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; take courage, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; take courage, all you people of the land, says the LORD; work, for I am with you, says the Lord of hosts, according to the promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit abides among you; fear not. For thus says the Lord of hosts: Once again, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land; and I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendour, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of hosts. The latter splendour of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place I will give prosperity, says the Lord of hosts. ”’

*The word of the Lord.*

From the deceitful and the cunning

why have you rejected me?
Why do I go mourning,
oppressed by the foe? R/.

O send forth your light and your truth;
they will guide me on.
They will bring me to your holy mountain,
to the place where you dwell. R/.

And I will come to the altar of God,

To you will I give thanks on the harp,
O God, my God. R/.

*A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 9: 18-22)*

Now it happened that as Jesus was praying alone the disciples were with him; and he asked them, “Who do the people say that I am?” And they answered, “John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen.” And he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.” But he charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”

HAGAI 2:1-9

"Bado kitambo kidogo, nami nitaijaza nyumba hii kwa utukufu wangu."

Somo katika kitabu cha Nabii Hagai

Mwaka wa pili wa utawala wake mfalme Dariusi, siku ya ishirini na moja ya mwezi wa saba, neno la Bwana lilikuja kwa kinywa cha nabii Hagai, likisema:
Nenda ukaseme na Zerubabeli, liwali wa Yuda, na Yoshua kuhani mkuu, na watu wa taifa waliorudi kutoka uhamishoni. Ukawaambie: Kati yenu amebaki nani aliyeona nyumba hii ya Mungu katika utukufu wake wa kwanza? Na sasa mnaonaje? Si imegeuka kuwa k**a si kitu mbele ya macho yenu? Basi sasa uwe na moyo, ewe Zerubabeli, asema Bwana. Uwe na moyo, ewe Yoshua, kuhani mkuu, mwana wa Yehozadaki. Jipeni moyo, enyi watu wa nchi yote, asema Bwana. Haya, mfanye kazi, mimi nipo pamoja nanyi, asema Bwana wa majeshi. Nilifanya agano nanyi, lipotoka katika nchi ya Misri, na roho yangu inakaa katikati yenu: msiogope. Maana Bwana wa majeshi amesema hivi: Bado kitambo kidogo, nami nitazitikisa mbingu na dunia, bahari na nchi kavu. Nitayatikisa mataifa yote, na vitu vya gharama vya mataifa yote vitafika huku, nami nitajaza nyumba hii utukufu, asema Bwana wa majeshi. Fedha ni mali yangu, na dhahabu ni mali yangu, asema Bwana wa majeshi.
Utukufu wa nyumba hii ya pili utakuwa mkubwa kuliko utukufu wa nyumba ya kwanza, asema Bwana wa majeshi. Na mahali hapa nitaweka amani.

Neno la Bwana.

KIITIKIO: _Umtumainie Mungu, yeye ndiye wokovu wangu na Mungu wangu.

Ee Mungu, unijalie haki; unitetee mbele ya taifa lisilo na huruma; uniopoe na mtu wa hila na mwovu.

*KIITIKIO: _Umtumainie Mungu, yeye ndiye wokovu wangu na Mungu wangu._*

Ee Mungu, wewe ndiwe ngome yangu;
kwa nini umenitupa? Kwa nini ninakwenda kwa huzuni, nikisongwa na adui?

_"Ndiwe Kristo wa Mungu. Lazima Mwana wa Mtu kupatwa na mateso mengi."_

_*Somo la Injili takatifu ilivyoandikwa na Luka*_

Siku moja Yesu alipokuwa akisali peke yake, na wafuasi wake walikuwako pamoja naye, aliwauliza, "Je, watu wanasema mimi kuwa nani?" Wakamjibu wakisema, "Yohane Mbatizaji; wengine, Eliya; na wengine, "Mmojawapo wa manabii wa kale aliyefufuka." Akawauliza, "Ninyi mnasema mimi kuwa nani?" Petro akamjibu akisema, "Ndiwe Kristo wa Mungu." Akawaonya na kuwakataza wasimwambie mtu habari hiyo. Akasema, "Lazima Mwana wa Mtu kupatwa na mateso mengi, kukataliwa na wazee, pia na makuhani wakuu na Waandishi, na kuuawa, na siku ya tatu kufufuka."

DAY 7 - NOVENA TO ARCHANGELS RAPHAEL, MICHAEL, GABRIEL

FRIDAY - 26/09/2025

PRAYER INTENTION
Today we pray for peace and reconciliation in our hearts and in our relationships, through the intercession of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael....

MEDITATION

*"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:9)*

The Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasizes the essential role of angels in carrying out God’s plan and serving as messengers, protectors, and guides for humanity (CCC 336). The archangels—Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael—each play significant roles in Scripture, defending against evil, bringing divine messages, and healing both physical and spiritual wounds. As servants of peace and instruments of God’s will, the archangels assist us in living out our call to holiness and reconciliation.

Today's focus is on peace and reconciliation, both within ourselves and in our relationships. Just as the archangels bring God's peace and healing, we seek their help in overcoming division and restoring harmony with others. Whether we have been hurt or caused hurt, through their intercession, may we find the courage to forgive, seek forgiveness, and restore peace.

*In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen*

*I Confess to You*

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.

*Come Holy Spirit*

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

*The Lord's Prayer*

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not Into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.Amen.

*Hail Mary*
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us Sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

*Opening prayer*
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith and trust in Your divine providence. Through the powerful intercession of Your holy archangels—St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael—we seek Your guidance, protection, and healing. We ask You to send them to our aid, that we may stand firm against the forces of darkness, listen attentively to Your voice, and receive Your healing grace in our lives. May these nine days of prayer draw us closer to You and strengthen us in our journey of faith. Amen.

*DAY 7 - NOVENA TO ARCHANGELS RAPHAEL, MICHAEL, GABRIEL*

Heavenly Father, through the intercession of Your glorious archangels—St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael—we humbly ask for protection, healing, and guidance on our journey of faith. May St. Michael defend us against all spiritual attacks and deliver us from evil. May St. Gabriel bring clarity and understanding of Your will in our lives. May St. Raphael bring healing to our bodies, minds, and souls. We lift up our personal petitions before You, trusting in the power of their intercession. (Mention your intentions here). We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

*Prayer for Peace and Reconciliation*

Lord Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace, I ask for Your peace to reign in my heart and in all my relationships. Through the intercession of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, help me to be a peacemaker and seek reconciliation with those I have wronged and those who have wronged me. Heal the wounds of division and restore harmony in my life, that I may live according to Your will. Amen.
