He was Archbishop of Bourges from 1200 until 1209. He was given to a life of exercises of piety and to the acquisition of knowledge. Saint William was canonized on May 17, 1218. Entrance Antiphon Upon a lofty throne, I saw a man seated, whom a host of angels adore, singing in unison: Behold him, the name of whose empire is eternal. Collect Attend to the pleas of your people with heavenly care, O Lord, we pray, that they may see what must be done and gain strength to do what they have seen. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. First reading : 1 Samuel 3:1-10,19-20 The boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli; it was rare for the Lord to speak in those days; visions were uncommon. One day, it happened that Eli was lying down in his room. His eyes were beginning to grow dim; he could no longer see. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying in the sanctuary of the Lord where the ark of God was when the Lord called, 'Samuel! Samuel!' He answered, 'Here I am.' Then he ran to Eli and said, 'Here I am, since you called me.' Eli said, 'I did not call. Go back and lie down.' So he went and lay down. Once again the Lord called, 'Samuel! Samuel!' Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, 'Here I am, since you called me.' He replied, 'I did not call you, my son; go back and lie down.' Samuel had as yet no knowledge of the Lord and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. Once again the Lord called, the third time. He got up and went to Eli and said, 'Here I am, since you called me.' Eli then understood that it was the Lord who was calling the boy, and he said to Samuel, 'Go and lie down, and if someone calls, say, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.”' So Samuel went and lay down in his place. The Lord then came and stood by, calling as he had done before, 'Samuel! Samuel!' Samuel answered, 'Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.' Samuel grew up and the Lord was with him and let no word of his fall to the ground. All Israel from Dan to Beersheba came to know that Samuel was accredited as a prophet of the Lord. R/Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will. - I waited, I waited for the Lord and he stooped down to me; he heard my cry. Happy the man who has placed his trust in the Lord and has not gone over to the rebels who follow false gods. - You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings, but an open ear. You do not ask for holocaust and victim. Instead, here am I. - In the scroll of the book it stands written that I should do your will. My God, I delight in your law in the depth of my heart. - Your justice I have proclaimed in the great assembly. My lips I have not sealed; you know it, O Lord. Gospel Acclamation cf. Col3:16a,17 Alleluia, alleluia! Open our heart, O Lord, to accept the words of your Son. Alleluia! Gospel: Mark 1:29-39 On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went with James and John straight to the house of Simon and Andrew. Now, Simon's mother-in-law had gone to bed with fever, and they told him about her straightaway. He went to her, took her by the hand and helped her up. And the fever left her and she began to wait on them. That evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by devils. The whole town came crowding round the door, and he cured many who were suffering from diseases of one kind or another; he also cast out many devils, but he would not allow them to speak, because they knew who he was. In the morning, long before dawn, he got up and left the house, and went off to a lonely place and prayed there. Simon and his companions set out in search of him, and when they found him they said, 'Everybody is looking for you.' He answered, 'Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns, so that I can preach there too, because that is why I came.' And he went all through Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out devils. Prayer over the Offerings May your people's oblation, O Lord, find favour with you, we pray, that it may restore them to holiness and obtain what they devoutly entreat. Through Christ our Lord. Communion Antiphon Ps 35: 10 With you, O Lord, is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light. Prayer after Communion Humbly we ask you, almighty God, be graciously pleased to grant that those you renew with your Sacraments may also serve with lives pleasing to you. Through Christ our Lord. Reflection After curing the sick and expelling demons from the possessed, our Lord retires to a quiet place to pray, to give thanks to his Father for enabling him to restore health to his people, broken by disease and the slavery of sin. He prays for more sustenance from his Father for the vast mission of preaching and spreading the Good News of salvation. To be effective in his preaching ministry, he must not remain in any one place but rather go around the villages as salvation is not limited to any one set of people alone. He thus urges his followers – us – to be preachers of his word wherever we may find ourselves. St. Paul's exhortation to his servant, Timothy, to “Preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, exhort, be unfailing in patience and teaching” (2 Tim 4:1-2) is addressed to me as well. As Isaiah says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News” (Is 52:7). Lord, strengthen my faith that I may be among those who bring your Good News of salvation to others wherever I may find myself today. Amen.

1 शमूएल 3 Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) परमेश्वरले शमूएललाई बोलाउनु भयो 3 एलीको अधीनमा रहेर बालक शमूएलले परमप्रभुको सेवा गर्थे। त्यस बेला परमप्रभु मानिसहरूसँग सिधै धेरै जस्तो बोल्नुहुन्थेन। उहाँले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई दर्शनहरू दिनु भएन। 2 एली लगभग अन्धा जस्तै भइसकेका थिए। एक रात तिनी ओछ्यानमा पल्टिरहेका थिए। 3 शमूएल चाहिँ पवित्र सन्दूक भएको परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सुतिरहेका थिए। परमप्रभुको बत्ती जलिरहेकै थियो। 4 परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई बोलाउनु भयो। “म यहाँ हाजीर छु” शमूएलले उत्तर दिए। 5 शमूएलले सोचे एलीले उसलाई बोलाएको हो। यसकारण शमूएल हतारीएर एलीकहाँ गए। शमूएलले आफ्नो उपस्थिति जाहेर गरेर भने, “तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउनुभयो, म यहाँ छु।” तर एलीले भने, “मैले तिमीलाई बोलाएको होइनँ। आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा गएर सुत।” शमूएल आफ्नो ओछ्यानमा गए। 6 परमप्रभुले फेरि बोलाउनु भयो, “शमूएल!” शमूएल फेरि एलीको ओछ्यानमा गएर भने, “तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउनु भएको हो, म यहाँ छु।” एलीले भने, “मैले बोलाएको छैन मेरो छोरा! जाऊ, गएर सुत।” 7 अहिलेसम्म शमूएलले व्यक्तिगत रूपमा परमप्रभुलाई चिनेका थिएनन्। परमप्रभुले शमूएल सँग सिधै बातचित गर्नु भएको थिएन। 8 परमप्रभुले शमूललाई तेस्रो चोटि बोलाउनु भयो। शमूएल उठेर फेरि एलीको छेउ पुगे। शमूएलले भने, “म यहाँ छु, तपाईंले मलाई बोलाउँनु भयो।” त्यतिबेला भने एलीले बुझे कि परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई बोलाउँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो। 9 एलीले शमूएललाई भने, “ओछ्यानमा जाऊ! यदि फेरि बेलाउँनु भयो भने भन्नु, ‘परमप्रभु भन्नुहोस्। म तपाईंको दास हुँ र तपाईंले भन्नु भएको सुन्दैछु।’” यसकारण शमूएल ओछ्यानमा गए। 10 परमप्रभु त्यहाँ प्रकट हुनुभयो र पहिलेको जस्तै बोलाउनु भयो, “शमूएल, शमूएल!” शमूएलले भने, “भन्नुहोस्! परमप्रभु म तपाईंको दास हुँ अनि सुन्दैछु।” 11 परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नुभयो, “म इस्राएलमा केही अचम्मको काम गर्नेछु। जसले यस विषयमा सुन्छ तिनीहरू साह्रै अचम्मीत हुनेछन्। 12 मैले एली र त्यसको परिवारको विरूद्धमा जे-जे गर्छु भनेको थिएँ ती सब गर्नेछु। म शुरू देखि अन्त्यसम्म सबै गर्नेछु। 13 मैले एलीलाई भनेकै छु कि म त्यसको परिवारलाई सधैँको लागि दण्ड दिनेछु। म त्यसो यसकारणले गर्दैछु भनि एलीलाई थाह छ। त्यसका छोराहरूले परमेश्वरलाई निन्दा गरे अनि उहाँसित खराब आचरण गरे। तर उसले तिनीहरूलाई शिक्षा दिएनन्। 14 यसैकारण मैले एलीको परिवारलाई श्राप दिएको छु कि बलिभेटी र अन्नबलिले तिनीहरूलाई पापबाट छुटकारा दिन सक्दैनन्।” 15 बिहानसम्म शमूएल आफ्नो ओछ्यानमै पल्टिरहे उज्यालो हुन साथ झट्पट् उठेर परमप्रभुका मन्दिरका ढोकाहरू खोले। दर्शनको विषयमा एलीलाई भन्न तिनी डराएका थिए। 16 तर एलीले नै शमूएललाई भने, “शमूएल, मेरो छोरा।” शमूएलले जवाफ दिए, “भन्नुहोस्, म यहाँ छु।” 17 एलीले सोधे, “परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई के भन्नु भयो! मलाई लुकाउने काम छैन। यदि परमेश्वरको सन्देश सबैलाई नभनेर लुकायो भने परमेश्वरले दण्ड दिनुहुनेछ।” 18 शमूएलले केही पनि नलुकाई सबै बताए। शमूएलले एलीबाट केही पनि लुकाएनन्. एलीले भने, “उहाँ परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँलाई जे इच्छा लाग्छ त्यसै गर्नुहुन्छ।” 19 शमूएल अझ ठूलो हुँदै गए। परमप्रभु शमूएलसित हुनु हुन्थ्यो। परमप्रभुले शमूएलको कुनै सन्देशलाई पनि झूटो हुने मौका दिनुभएन। 20 त्यसबेला सारा इस्राएलका, (दान देखि बेर्शेबा सम्मका) मानिसहरूले शमूएल परमप्रभुका साँचो अगमवक्ता भएको चाल पाए। 21 शीलोमा परमप्रभु शमूएलकहाँ प्रकट हुनु भयो। उहाँ आफैं शमूएलको अघि परमप्रभुको वचन जस्तै प्रकट हुनु भयो।
