Summerbreak, and then…

hi everyone,

Now we have a summerbreak, and only a few of us are still in Lund. In August some of us gather on the island of Gotland for a week together.

And then…This Automn we´ll continue our meetings with students and other young people at Sandgatan. Though the frame is Catholic, all young people of good will,  from age of 18 and of any religion, are welcome to join for sharing in life.   If you find a problem to participate in Mass (or prayers), you can join for walks and excursions, meals together and cultural events that will be announced on the blog. You just have to show respect to our place and people gathering here.  We´ll each month celebrate a Sunday Mass with a meal and (cultural) program afterwards and a sharing of the Gospel before – look beneath for details. I hope that brother Brian, a canadian dominican who´s been living in Hensinki for a couple a years will preside this Mass and also share our meal and talk. Brother Brian will stay with the brothers at Sandgatan during this Automn.

Wednesday Aug 18th there will be the General Market Forum at LTH Kårhus, where the new exchange students will attend. We are welcome to have a table there and distribute our information and talk to people during this day. A good way to invite newcomers to our place. Interested to particitpate?  -Tell me.
Let us take it as an apostolic task to welcome who welcome whoever comes to us and invite them to share our community.

yours brother Björn

here´s the readings for this  Sunday:

Acts of Apostles 5:12-16          Revelations  1

Gospel of John   20:19-31

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.

Exodus 3:1-8a, 13-15   , 1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12

Gospel of Luke 13:1-9

It was just about this time that some people arrived and told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with that of their sacrifices. At this he said to them,  ‘Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than any others, that this should have happened to them?  They were not, I tell you. No; but unless you repent you will all perish as they did.  Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, killing them all? Do you suppose that they were more guilty than all the other people living in Jerusalem?  They were not, I tell you. No; but unless you repent you will all perish as they did.’

He told this parable, ‘A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none. He said to his vinedresser, “For three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and finding none. Cut it down: why should it be taking up the ground?”  “Sir,” the man replied, “leave it one more year and give me time to dig round it and manure it:  it may bear fruit next year; if not, then you can cut it down.” ‘

Readings for Sunday Feb 21st

Deuteronome 26:4-10  Romans 10:8-13

Gospel: Luke 4:1-13

Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry. The devil said to him,
“If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered him,  “It is written, One does not live on bread alone.”
Then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant. The devil said to him,
“I shall give to you all this power and glory;  for it has been handed over to me,  and I may give it to whomever I wish.
All this will be yours, if you worship me.” Jesus said to him in reply, “It is written: You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.” Then he led him to Jerusalem,  made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written: He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you, and: With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.”
Jesus said to him in reply, “It also says, You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.”
When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time.
