lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god forever and ever amen a reading from the book of the prophet joel even now says the lord return to me with your whole heart with fasting and whipping and mourning rend your hearts not your garments and return to the lord your god for gracious and merciful is he slow to anger rich in kindness and relenting in punishment perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing offerings and libations for the lord your god blow the trumpet in zion proclaim a fast call an assembly gather the people notify the congregation assemble the elders gather the children and the infants at the breast let the bridegroom quit his room and the bride her chamber between the porch and the altar let the

willing spirit sustain in me o lord open my lips in my mouth sure proclaim your praise be merciful o lord for we have said a reading from the second letter of saint paul to the corinthians brothers and sisters we are ambassadors for christ as if god were appealing through us we implore you on behalf of christ be reconciled to god for our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin so that we might become the righteousness of god in him working together then we appeal to you not to receive the grace of god in vain for he says in an acceptable time i heard you and on the day of salvation i helped you behold now is a very acceptable time behold now is the day of salvation the word of the lord thanks be to god [Music] oh [Music] if today you hear his voice harden up your hearts to you lord of god jesus christ the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to saint matthew glory to you o lord jesus said to his disciples take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them otherwise you will have no recompense from your heavenly father when you give ams do not blow a trumpet before you as hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others amen i say to you they have received their reward but when you give ams do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your arms giving may be secret and your father who sees in secret will repay you when you pray do not be like the hypocrites who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them amen i say to you they have received the reward but when you pray go to your inner room close the door and pray to your father in secret and your father who sees in secret will repay you when you fast do not look gloomy like the hypocrites they neglect their appearance so that they may appear to others to be fasting amen i say to you they have received their reward but when you fast anoint your head and wash your face so that you may not appear to be fasting except to your father who is hidden and your father who sees what is hidden will repay you the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ be merciful o lord for we have sinned mercy that's what is all about we begin length a great place to start is with a better understanding of mercy often when we think about lent we think of it with a sort of dread i have to give something up we often think but if that is our thought then we are missing the point do i have to give up something well yes and no it's true that god wills this and has spoken this practice of self-denial and self-discipline to us through his church and that it's true but it's much more of an invitation to grace than the imposition of a burden giving something up is really all about entering into god's abundant mercy on a deeper level it's about being freed from all that binds us and helps us experience the new life we so deeply seek giving something up could refer to something as simple as fasting from food or drink or it can be an intentional act that requires a certain self denial but this is good you might ask why because it strengthens us in our spirit and our will it strengthens us to be more resolved to say yes to god on that complete level so often in life my dear friends we are controlled by our emotions and desires we have an impulse impulse for this or that or to do this or that and we often let those impulse or desires control us entering into a practice of self-denial during this length helps us to strengthen us to control our disordered tendencies rather than being controlled by them and this applies to much more than just food and drink it applies to many things in life including our life of virtue especially charity mercy is all about charity it's about love in the way god wants us to love it's about being free to let love consume us and take us over so that in the end we will do and would perform love this can be a hard practice to establish by dear friends in our lives but it is the source of our joy and fulfillment mercy in particular is an act of love that in a sense is not deserved by another it's a free gift that is given purely from the motivation of love and this is exactly the love god gives us we don't deserve mercy but because god loves us so much he gives it to us god's love is all mercy and if we want to receive that mercy then we also have to give it in and if we want to give it we need to properly dispose ourselves to giving mercy and this could only be accomplished by our little acts of self denial so my dear friends let's make this a great lent but don't get stuck thinking that land sacrifices are burdensome hamburgers french spice it's more than that it's more than your stomach and it's more than your senses they are these things that we are doing virtues and values they are essential peace of the pathway to the life god wants to bestow upon us as his children amen [Music] oh [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Music] we [Applause] [Music] the living room [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] the living room [Music] pray my dear friends that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to god the father almighty may the lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name for our good and the good of all his holy church as we solemnly offer the annual sacrifice for the beginning of lent we entreat you o lord that through works of penance and charity we may turn away from harmful pleasures and cleanse from our sins may become worthy to celebrate devotely devoutly the passion of your son who lives and reigns forever and ever amen the lord be with you and with your spirit lift up your hearts lift them up to the lord let us give thanks to the lord our god it is right and just it is glory right and just our duty and our salvation always and everywhere to give you thanks lord holy father almighty and eternal god through christ our lord for by your gracious gift each year your faithful await the sacred fascicle feast with joy of minds made pure so that eagerly intent on prayer on the works of charity and participating in the mysteries by which they have been reborn they may be led to the fullness of grace that you bestow on your sons and daughters and so with angels and archangels with thrones and dominions and with all the hosts and powers of heaven we sing the hymn of your glory as without end we acclaim [Music] foreign [Music] heaven and earth [Music] oh [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 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 more giving thanks he gave it to his disciples a 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 fate [Music] therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection we offer you lord the bread of life and the chalice of salvation giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of christ we may be gathered into one by the holy spirit remember lord your church spread
