and walking in his ways and keeping his commandments statutes and decrees you will live and grow numerous and the lord your god will bless you in the land you are entering to occupy if however you

crossing the jordan to enter and occupy i call heaven and earth today to witness against you i have set before you life and death the blessing and the curse choose life then that you and your descendants may live by loving the lord your god hearing his voice and holding fast to him for that will mean life for you a long life for you to live on the land that the lord swore he would give to your fathers abraham isaac and jacob the word of the lord thanks be to god blessed are they who hope in the lord blessed are they who hope in the lord blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked nor walks in the way of sinners nor sits in the company of the insolent but delights in the law of the lord and meditates on his law day and night blessed are they who hope in the lord he is like a tree planted near running water that yields its fruit in jew season and whose lives never fade whatever he does prospers blessed are they who hope in the lord not so do wicked not soul they are like trough which the wind drives away for the lord watches over the way of the just but the way of the wicked vanishes blessed are they who hope in the lord we rise to honor the holy gospel [Music] glory to you word of god lord jesus christ glory to you word of god lord jesus christ your words o lord our spirit and lies you have the words of everlasting life glory to you word of god [Music] christ [Music] glory to you word of god lord jesus christ the lord be with you and with your spirit reading from the holy gospel according to saint luke glory to you o lord jesus said to his disciples the son of man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders the chief priests and the scribes and be killed then the third day be erased then he said to all if anyone wishes to come after me he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me for whoever wishes to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it but prophet is there for one to gain the whole world it lost or forfeit himself brothers and sisters the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ my dear brothers and sisters yesterday was ash wednesday and there were of course many people who came to the shrine and to all the churches not only in manila quezon city but all over the country where there are catholics and christians so i hope that we understand the meaning when the priests imposed ashes and our forehead um and it's not only just a sign but it has a meaning for that and what is the meaning for this ash that we [Music] receive yesterday well the ash is a reminder for us that we are mortal but therefore this ash reminds us that we will pass away from this world so let us remember this particular meaning of ash wednesday when he pushes the ash on our forehead is remember your dust and to dust he will return so this is something that we should always remember dear brothers and sisters christ the king the retirement house who was strong and was a german and you know he uh live until 105 years old 100 peso reward but this one he was a foreigner now what i'm trying to say dear brothers and sisters [Music] in this world where we are in so because of this in the season of land i which began yesterday is a time of season for a reflection on the meaning of life and also to make preparation for our sins so we'll be sorry for our sins and then the other one is that we make bananas benediction in your son i uh we it in reparation for our sins so dear brothers and sisters sorry for our sins well we have to remember that all of us are sinners no one is accepted and why because we are all human we have all our weaknesses and therefore length is a time for being sorry for our sins now it's not only being sorry for our sins but we also have to do penance so for example the church is advising us to do fasting and abstinence also meaning to say in abstinence is that we do not eat a full meal in a day so in other words it is a kind of the kind of penitentia that we go on with hungary in order to make reparation for our sins and you know there is a story about a priest who went home to his convent road and it was already dark and while he was walking like this somebody from behind came uh give me your wallet and this priest was you know taken aback and uh my son i am a prison i'm going home to our convents father uh [Music] well so this is rather a double standard of uh penance of doing good but also well committing crimes so dear brothers and sisters let us not be a double standard christian that we should really be sincere in our penance in our reparation for our failings and our sins maybe what you can do during lenten season is to maybe you may not you will not be expensive and whatever money you can put aside you can use that in order to reach out to the poor and that will be your penance for your sins so that is one and the other is maybe sometimes when you suffer there are some people who are unjust in treating you or people who are jealous and who are backbiting you if you cannot you cannot ask forgiveness from them or they do not forgive you well accepting what is what we cannot help or what is difficult to to do for other people you know when i was in my assignment in legaspi albay or divine world college i run some accountant who was an accountant of a big firm firmer company he came to me and confided um um [Music] well if i do that i will be removed from my position or for my job so i'm gonna go up on a long father especially during the season of lent i tried to make reparations uh against the credit the good works that i do then i balance it you know so like in accounting they said credit minus uh pizza because no father credit minus debit equals zero zero balance so in other words my dear friends he balances his sense through like this debit and and makes up by doing good works by giving alms and also trying to help other people who are in need and there are other things to be done as penance and our work of penitence as we journey to this lantern season and our lord said if you hear my voice harden at your hearts harden at your hearts to make preparation for our sins to be sorry for them and ask for goodness from god amen our lord jesus calls us to follow him to carry the cross after him and to entrust to himself all those who suffer let the response be lord hear our prayer lord hear our prayer that as members of the church we may imbibe in our lives the spirit of the cross and be willing to suffer for the sake of christ and the gospel we pray lord listen to our prayer that the leaders of our country may hear the cries of suffering people and may show commitment to the eradication of oppression and exploitation in society we pray lord hear our prayer that those who are suffering the poor the sick the handicapped and prisoners may never fall into despair but experience the comfort of god's love we pray lord hear our prayer that those who are alone in life may find companions who are willing to help them bear their crosses we pray lord hear our prayer that our beloved dead may be one with god and their loved ones in heaven for all eternity we pray lord lord hear our prayer in silence we pray for our other intentions let us also pray for the following and their personal intentions lita alano rosi sontai joe valencia marirosa navarro johnny helen c paul and carol gowlin anita marie elanis alanis and also let the merced let us pray to the lord lord hear our prayer god our father the passion and death of your son brought life to the world help us to recognize the crosses and sufferings not just in great trials of life but in day-to-day choices we ask this through christ our lord amen [Music] in your

acclaim [Music] of hosts [Music] is [Music] yes [Music] you are indeed holy o lord the fount of all holiness make holy therefore these gifts we pray by sending down your spirit upon them like a dewfall so that they may become for us the body and blood of our lord jesus christ at the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion he took bread and giving thanks broke it and gave it to his 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 it will be poured out for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven do this in memory of me the mystery of our faith [Music] [Applause] [Music] therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection we offer you lord the bread
