life amen let us pray show gracious favor o lord we pray to the works of penance we have begun that we may have strength to accomplish with sincerity the bodily observances we undertake through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit god forever and ever amen a reading from the book of the prophet isaiah thus says the lord god cry out full throated and inspiringly dip up your voice like a trumpet blast tell my people their wickedness in the house of jacob their sins they seek me day after day and decide to know my ways like a nation that has done what is just not abandoned the law of their god they asked me to declare what is to them please to gain access to god why do we pass and you do not see it i take ourselves when you take no note of it law on your past day you carry out your own pursuits and drive all your laborers yes your past ends in curling and fighting striking you with wicked claw with that today you might pass so as to make your voice heard on high it is the manner of fasting i wish of keeping a day of penance that a man bowie said like a reed and lie in suckalot and ashes do you call this a past are they acceptable to the lord god this rather is the passing that i wish releasing those bound unjustly untying the tongues of the yolk setting breed of breasts breaking everyone sharing your bread with the hungry shattering the oppressed and the homeless floating the naked when you see them and not turning your back on your own then your lies shall break word like the dawn and your wound shall quickly be healed your vindication shall go before you and the glory of the lord shall be your rear guard then you shall call and the lord will answer you shall cry for help and he will say here i am the word of the lord thanks be to god a heart and quiet and humbled o god you will not spurn a heart contrite and humbled o god you will not spurn have mercy on me o god in your goodness in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my opens thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me a heart contrite and humbled o god you will not spurn for i acknowledge my opinions and my sins before me always against you only have i seen and done what is evil in your sight a heart contrite and humble o god you will not spurn for you are not peace with sacrifices should i offer a burnt offering you would not accept it my sacrifice o god is a contrite spirit a heart contrite and humbled o god you will not spurn a heart contrite and humbled o god you will not spurn it let us honor the holy gospel amen [Music] [Music] according to matthew glory to you the disciples of john approached jesus and said why do we and the pharisees fast much but your disciples do not fast jesus answered them can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them and then they will fast the gospel of the lord praise to you o lord jesus christ a blessed day to all of you and also to our fellow worshipers who are in the joining us through this live streaming prayer almsgiving and fasting are the so-called main pillars of the jewish piety to express their devotion to god they have these three pillars now prayer fasting and almsgiving and we find in the bible the teaching and practice of these in both readings today we find the teaching about fasting abstaining from food in isaiah fasting is not seen as a kind of a parenthesis in one's daily life nor an occasion to pay in merits for oneself from god and with which we can demand a better treatment later on from god rather he attaches a new and deeper meaning of this fasting the fasting that is authentic according to prophet isaiah is that which leads us to an encounter with god with the god of love through our brothers and sisters who have been reached by our charity our love it is that which makes us experience god's providence through the needy we have helped it is that which is translated spontaneously in gestures of fraternal love and thus it leads to a continual discovery of god the fountain of light that soothes our spiritual wounds that is how the prophet isaiah understands and proposes this kind of fasting to his contemporaries we normally associate fasting with the reduction of food intake which is our world even recommends today from health and other aesthetic reasons that we reduce eating our eating but isaiah understands fasting in this new way that we need to reduce the things that damage and oppress others and promote justice on behalf of those in need jesus in the gospel like isaiah proposes a new understanding of fasting jesus said that fasting is not done when the bridegroom is with them no one abstains from the joys when the wedding is being celebrated it is a way of saying that fasting is seen only as is seen not only as an abstinence of food it should be experienced should not be experienced only in a negative way the true fasting is that which makes us desire and long for that encounter with jesus the savior who ignites and intensifies in us the hunger and thirst for god's word the desire to know christ more and his power to give us life therefore an authentic fasting according to jesus is that which brings us to a personal and intense encounter and communion with christ which will enable us to face the temptations of everyday life in summary fasting is a way of reminding ourselves of our need to cultivate this closer and deeper encounter with the lord who alone can satisfy our longing for a meaningful life and ultimately who can save us and this season of lent is a journey reminding us of this essential dimension of our life our need to encounter the lord i do not know if you are aware that we have still the the so-called eucharistic fast meaning one hour now it is only one hour before holy communion that we should abstain from food again with that idea of creating a space in ourselves in our hearts for christ even in short in simple ways like fasting for an hour before the reform of body can do i think it was 12 hours now you have to fast but they have reduced this to make it more accessible for people especially those who have been difficulties because again to remind us of our need for christ in our life and may our lenten observance bring us closer to christ to encounter him and also in our encounter with those who are in need amen by fasting we give god space in our lives let us ask the lord to strengthen us in self-denial that we may set our minds and hearts firmly on him for every prayer let our response be lord our true joy is in you lord our true joy is in you that as a follower of christ we may conform to the precepts of our heavenly father we pray lord our true joy is in you that god's people may persevere in their land and sacrifice us we pray lord our true joy is sinner that all who deny themselves for the lord's sikhs may find happiness with him we pray lord our true joy that the sick and the dying and those who are spaced with life's sorrow may be filled with god's grace we pray lord our true joy in you that our disease relatives and friends may freely share in the life of god we pray lord our true joy is in you and for peace justice in our world especially in ukraine and russia we pray to the lord lord our true joy is in you and for our own personal intentions we pray lord our true joy is in you heavenly father grant us the strength to devote ourselves to a life in the spirit that we may rise now above our weaknesses and share fully in the resurrection of our lord jesus christ amen [Music] [Applause] [Music] we offer our lives to the lord up above [Music] may the lord come and say that we'll share in his glory one day

[Applause] oh [Music] you are indeed holy o lord the fount of all holiness make holy therefore this gifts we pray by sending down your spirit upon them like the 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 were giving thanks he gave it to his disciples saying take the soul 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 [Music] the mystery of faith we proclaim your death o lord and profess your resurrection until you come again therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection we
