of heavenly grace they may be defended always by your protection this we asked through christ our lord amen a reading from the prophet isaiah in the year of king uzziah's death i saw the lord seated on a high throne his train filled the century above him stood seraphs each one with six wings and they cried out one to another in this way holy holy holy is the lord of hosts his glory fills the whole earth the foundations of the threshold shook with the voice of the one who cried out and the temple was filled with smoke i said what a wretched state i am in i am lost for i am a man of unclean lips and i live among a people of unclean lips and my eyes have looked at the king the lord of hosts then one of the seraps flew to me holding in his hand a life coal which he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs with this it touched my mouth and said see now this has touched your lips your sin is taken away your inequity is purged then i heard the voice of the lord saying whom shall i send who will be our messenger i answered here i am send me the word of the lord thanks be to god [Music] bless you oh lord i thank you lord [Music] [Music] i will bless lord i thank you for your faithfulness [Music] you increase the strength [Music] of your mind they shall sing of the lord how great is the glory [Music] you stretch out [Music] your head will do all this [Music] before [Music] i will bless you [Music] a reading from the first letter of saint paul to the corinthians brothers i want to remind you of the gospel i preached to you the gospel that you received and in which you are firmly established because the gospel will save you only if you keep believing exactly what i preached to you believing nothing less will not lead to anything well then in the first place i thought you what i had been taught myself namely that christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures that he was buried and that he was raised to life on the third day in accordance with the scriptures that he appeared first deceive us and secondly to the twelve next he appeared to more than 500 of the brothers at the same time most of whom are still alive though some have died then he appeared to james and then to all the apostles and last of all he appeared to me too it was as though i was born when no one expected it i am the least of the apostles in fact since i persecuted the church of god i hardly deserve the name apostle but by god's grace that is what i am and the grace that he gave me has not been fruitless on the contrary i or rather the grace of god that is with me have worked harder than any of the others but what matters is that i preach what they preach and this is what you all believed the word of the lord thanks be to god [Music] hallelujah because i may know you everything [Music] me [Music] hallelujah [Music] the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to saint luke glory to you o lord jesus was standing one day by the lake of ganasarat with his with his crowds pressing around him listening to the word of god when he caught sight of two boats close to the bank the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets he got into one of the boats it was simon's and asked him to put it out a little from the show then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat when he had finished speaking he said to put out into deep water and pay out your nets for a catch master simon replied we worked hard all night long and caught nothing but if you say so i will pay out the nets and when they had done this they netted such a huge number of fish that their nets began to tank so they signaled to their companions in the other boats to come and help them when this came they filled the two boats to sinking point when simon peter saw this he fell at the feet of jesus saying leave me lord i am a sinful man for he and all his companions were completely overcome by the catch they had made so also were james and john sons of zebedee who was simon's partners but jesus said to simon do not be afraid from now on it is men you will catch then bringing the abode back to the land they left everything and followed him the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ as i was going through the readings that we have for today's mass i see how relevant it is for us who are celebrating chinese new year not just the chinese all of us the readings are given to us here in the first reading from prophet isaiah it is that therefore the prophet had the vision of the presence of god and the singing of the angels holy holy we'll be singing that afterwards and the reaction of isaiah was i am unclean person and i come from a community of unclean people this is what happens to us we have been going around wishing each other god's blessing on them but what is the biggest blessing that we can give to others is the presence of god the peace of god in this i like the arabic way of wishing salaam alaikum the peace of god be with you the fullness of god's presence and we must be people who are convinced that we can do it we may say i'm not worthy i'm unclean but god cleanses us and then to isaiah who was showing that he was an unworthy person jesus makes the statement whom shall i have whom shall i send who will be my messenger two weeks ago that was the theme whom shall i say god is saying to us we have already wish each other blessings of god and all but now during this feast of the chinese new year god is reminding us of our role shall i send who will be my messenger how who will be the one who reach out to others bringing the message of god bringing the peace of god bringing god's presence in the army we are none of us are worthy aboard it and in the second reading saint paul is coming to say he is preaching the same doctrine he is that the apostles preached but he said i'm unworthy but god has made me worthy he didn't refer to his conversion in a similar way god has trust in each one of us young or old irrelevant and he wants us to be his messengers of peace let this chinese new year greeting sparking us this to be the messengers of peace to others we may not be able to go and preach and talk to them but the passengers of the peace which i have said quite often from this pulpit the way i speak the way i relate the way i respect others yes this we can do and we have to do and if we are not doing this wishing each other happy new year is just putting words it should come from deep within from within us and the gospel text you'll see jesus getting into one of the boards and using that bone he sat down and he preached to the crowd yes let us allow jesus to come to us and to preach to others through us it's only this way we can see we are a missionary church and going to the other reality that we are speaking of the synodal church big words just mean coming together pope cardinals bishops priests lady all together we are going to make christ present and we will be saying this prayer after the prayer the faithful they are muslim spirituals as i said it is just opening words of the prayer but what we are praying for the unity of the church and to be able to go out together as one body and here god takes control he sat in the boat and preached then he told them throw out your net the good fisherman simon said i labeled all night got nothing but at your word yes at god's plan for me i will do what you want me to do i might not reap a big house let me have the satisfaction that i am making you present as the lord in the first reading said whom shall i send am i willing to respond to that invitation in a positive manner [Music] let us profess our faith i believe in one 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 before all ages god from god right 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 men 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 in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end i believe in holy spirit the lord the giver of life who proceeds from the father and the 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 the life of the world to come amen god has brought us to this eucharist to nourish us with the body and blood of his son and empower us for his mission with faith let us pray we pray for the church that we may be true to our prophetic mission in our world where people take god for granted we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer we pray

disciples saying take this all of you and eat of it for this is my body which will be given up for you in a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice and once more giving thanks he gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it for this is the chalice of my blood the blood of the new and eternal covenant which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me the mystery of faith [Music] so oh [Music] therefore as we celebrate the memorial of its death and resurrection we offer you lord the bread of life and the
