our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit god forever and ever a reading from the book of numbers the lord came down in the cloud and spoke to moses taking some of the spirit that was on moses the lord bestowed it on the seventy elders and as the spirit came to rest on them they prophesied now two men one named ill dad and the other me dad were not in the gathering but had been left in the camp they too had been on the list but had not gone out to the tent yet the spirit came to rest on them also and they prophesize in the camp so when a young man quickly told moses ill dad and me dad are prophesying in the camp joshua son of nun who from his youth had been moses's aid said moses my lord stop them but moses answered him are you jealous for my sake with that all the people of the lord were prophets with that the lord might bestow his spirit on them all the word of the lord the precepts of the lord give joy to the heart the precepts of the lord give joy to the hearts the love the lord is perfect refreshing the soul the decree of the lord is trustworthy giving wisdom to the simple the precepts of the lord give joy to the heart the fear of the lord is pure enduring forever the ordinances of the lord are true all of them just the precepts of the lord give joy to the heart though your servant is careful of them very diligent in keeping them yet who can detect failings cleanse me from my unknown fault the precepts of the lord give joy to the hearts from want and sin especially restrain your servant let it not rule over me then shall i be blameless and innocent of serious sin the precepts of the lord give joy to the heart [Music] a reading from the letter of saint james come now you rich weep and wail over your impending miseries your wealth has rotted away your clothes have become moth eaten your gold and silver have corroded and that corrosion will be a testimony against you it will devour your flesh like a fire you have stored up treasure for the last day for the last days behold the wages you withheld from the workers who harvested your fields are crying out loud and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the lord of hosts you have lived on earth in luxury and pleasure you have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter you have condemned you have murdered the righteous one he offers you no resistance the word of the lord hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah your word o lord this truth consecrate us in the truth hallelujah hallelujah [Music] the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to mark glory to you oh lord at that time john said to jesus teacher we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us jesus replied do not prevent him there is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me for whoever is not against us is for us anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to christ amen i say to you will surely not lose his reward whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea if your hand causes you to sin cut it off it is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into gehenna into the unquenchable fire and if your foot causes you to sin cut it off it is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into gehenna and if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out better for you to enter into the kingdom of god with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into gehenna where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ well happy sunday thank you for joining us on this pre with this pre-recorded tv mass i hope the lord has blessed your week and that you've been able to count your graces to experience that gratitude of the eucharist this is a little strange because i'm preaching to nobody in this church but i know you're out there so god bless you all the the readings today introduce the question do i re rely on myself and my own spirit or do i rely on the spirit of jesus life is a lot better if we rely on the spirit of jesus some of the readings tell us what happens if we rely on ourself that we fall into sin and life is difficult that we lead others into sin that we make a mess of our life and can make a mess of other people's lives and not even know it my hand caused me to sin you know my foot caused me to sin and then we don't even know that we're running around causing all kinds of trouble but we don't have to and that's the message of the gospel the beauty of the gospel that just like moses spirit was taken from him and given to 70 other people in order for them to prophesy and they took on an amazing personality an amazing spirit like moses's we received the spirit of jesus in baptism and we're totally transformed totally transformed this foot that caused me to sin this arm that caused me to to sin is drowned in the waters of baptism it's put to death saint paul says if i have died with christ now i live with christ and that's baptism he said if if this body causes you to sin have it drowned by a millstone and put to put aside you don't need that sin you don't need that spirit i can replace it the old baptismal fonts were built like a uh like a coffin you know and people would dunk into the water like they were going into the cave of death and then they would be pulled out with new life and a new spirit breathed in jesus's own spirit and that's inside of us that's inside of you and that's inside of me and we can set ourselves aside and say i don't know what to do i don't know what's right i don't know how to do everything but i don't need to because i can trust in the holy spirit jesus gave me his own spirit a spirit of peace a spirit of grace a spirit of direction that tells me what to do and how to represent god as his prophet what a beautiful vocation what a beautiful call and what a beautiful spirit thank you jesus today on this sunday for giving us your spirit and filling us with new life let us together 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 light 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 man 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 the holy spirit the lord the giver of life who proceeds from the father and the

command we celebrate these mysteries for on the night he was betrayed he himself took bread and giving you thanks he said the blessing broke the bread 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 giving you thanks he said the blessing and gave the chalice 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 we proclaim your death oh lord then profess your resurrection until you come again therefore oh lord as we celebrate the memorial of the saving passion of your son his wondrous resurrection and ascension into heaven and as we look forward to his second coming we offer you in thanksgiving this holy and living sacrifice look we pray upon the oblation of your church and recognizing the sacrificial victim by whose death you willed to reconcile us to yourself grant that we who are nourished by the body and blood of your son and filled with his holy spirit may become one body one spirit in christ may he make of us an eternal offering to you so that we may obtain an inheritance with your elect especially with the most blessed virgin mary mother of god with blessed joseph her spouse with your blessed apostles and glorious martyrs and with all the saints on whose constant intercession in your presence we rely for unfailing help may this sacrifice of our reconciliation we pray o lord advance the peace and salvation of all the world be pleased to confirm in faith and charity your pilgrim church on earth with your servant
