your sight o lord my rock and my redeemer your words o lord our spirit and life glory and praise to you lord jesus christ behold now is the favorable time behold now is the day of salvation glory and praise to you lord jesus christ [Music] the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to saint matthew glory to you oh lord at the time jesus said to his disciples when the son of man comes in his glory and all the angels with him then he will sit on his glorious throne before he will be gathered all the nations and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats and he will place the sheep on his right but the goats on the left then the king will say to those on his right come you who are blessed by my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world for i was hungry and you gave me food i was thirsty and you gave me a drink i was stranger and you welcomed me i was naked and you clothed me i was sick and you visited me i was in prison and you came to me then the righteous will answer him saying lord when did we see you hungry and feed you or thirsty and give you drink and when did we see you a stranger and welcome you or naked and clothe you and when did we see you sick or in prison and visited you and the king will answer them truly i say to you as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers you did it to me then he will say to those on his left depart from me you cursed into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels for i was hungry and you gave me no food i was thirsty and you gave me no drink i was a stranger and you did not welcome me naked and you did not clothe me sick or in prison and you did not visit me then they also will answer saying lord when did we see you hungry or thirsty or stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you then he will answer them saying truly i say to you as you did not do it to one of the least of these you did not do it to me and these will go away into eternal punishment by the righteous into eternal life the gospel of the lord praise you lord jesus christ truly i say to you i suddenly do one of the least of these my brothers you did it to me dear brothers and sisters in christ jesus i was as i was reflecting on this reading i was reminded of a beautiful song it goes this way christ has no body now but yours no feet no hand but yours yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on the world how lovely are the words and when jesus appeared to saul the persecutor of the christians was going around persecuting the early christians when jesus appears to him in a flash of light the voice came came to saul saul saul why are you persecuting me dear brothers and sisters in christ jesus and today in the gospel reading we say we hear jesus says whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters you did it to me it is fitting for us to imagine or to consider that we are his temple where jesus christ lives now now we cannot see jesus physically but whatever we do to others we do it for our lord jesus christ saint paul in the letter to the corinthians he says your body is the temple of the holy spirit our body is the temple where jesus christ lives and thus for us taking care of another having compassion of another is what jesus is telling us today if we do not care for our own family members if we do not have compassion on our community members if we have jealousy and hatred towards our own people then how can we imagine that we can receive the blessings of god or how we become worthy of receiving the blessings of god dear brothers and sisters in christ jesus the commandment of jesus was love one another hence as we reflect on this reading today let us look into our inner self jesus has given us a beautiful opportunity to look into our inner self and examine through the journey on the passion and sufferings of jesus during this land season and therefore look into our inner self and examine how am i living how is my behavior towards others how is my attitude towards the other people whom i meet can we truly say as that we are caring for one another in the gospel reading we hear that those who fed those who clothes and those who cared for the neglected ones they were surprised and they asked jesus when did we see you hungry and we feed we fed you when did we see you naked and clothe you likewise it goes on so dear brothers and sisters we cannot see jesus now physically in a physical body like us now but when we care for one another when we love one another truly jesus lives between us lives in us therefore we ask jesus to enlighten us today so that we can overcome our selfishness we can overcome our ego and truly pray for one another love one another and journey towards our lord jesus we pray through the intercession of our holy mother hail mary full of grace holy mary mother of god [Music] [Music] ah us be yours and yourself [Music] set the hearts of spirits make us lord your own through your goodness lord we break [Music] with the life of your son [Music] up a father let us be yours and [Music] make us [Music] pray brothers and sisters that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to god the almighty father may the lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name for our good good of all his holy church may this devout oblation be acceptable to you oh lord that by your power it may sanctify our manner of life and grain for us your conciliation and pardon through christ our lord amen the lord be with you and with your spirit lift up your hearts we live them up to the lord let us give thanks to the lord our god it is right it is truly right and just our duty and our salvation always and everywhere to give you thanks lord holy father almighty and eternal god for you have given your children a sacred time for the renewing and purifying of their hearts that freed from disordered affections they may so deal with with the things of this passing world as to hold rather to the things that eternally endure and so with all the angels and saints we praise you as without and we acclaim holy lord god of hosts heaven and earth [Music] blessed is he who comes in name of the lord [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 giving thanks broke it and gave it to his disciples saying take these 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] when we eat this bread and bring this up we proclaim your death [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 throughout the world and bring her to the fullness of charity together with francis our pope philip neri our bishop and all the clergy remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection and all who have died in your mercy welcome them into the light of your face have mercy on us all we pray that with the blessed virgin mary mother of god send joseph our spouse with the blessed apostles and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages we may merit to be equal as to eternal life and may praise and glorify you through your son jesus christ through him and with him and in him o god almighty father in the unity of the holy spirit all glory and honor is yours forever and everyone [Music] at the savior's command and formed by divine teaching we dare to say our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation deliver us lord we pray from every evil graciously grant peace in our days that by the help of your mercy we may be always free from sin and save from all distress as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our savior jesus christ for the kingdom the power and the glory are yours now forever lord jesus christ who said to your apostles peace i leave you my peace i give you look not on our sins but on the faith of your church and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will who live and reign forever and ever amen the peace of the lord be with you always and with your spirit let us offer each other the sign of peace lamb of god you take away the sins of the world have mercy on us lamb of god you take away the sins of the world have mercy on us lamb of god you take away the sins of the world grant us peace behold the lamb of god behold him who takes away the sins of the world happy are those who are called to the supper of the lamb lord i am not worthy that you should enter under my roof but only say a word and my soul shall be healed keep me safe [Music] [Music] let us pray we pray o lord that in receiving your sacrament we may experience help in mind and body so that kept safe in both we may glory in the fullness of heavenly healing through christ our lord amen the lord be with you and with your spirit may almighty god bless you the father and the son and the holy spirit amen go forth the mercies and death thanks be to god [Music] [Music] though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust yet the love of the lord will stand as a shelter for all who will call on his name sing the praise and the glory of god could the lord ever live here could the lord forget his [Music] your love he will not abandon you though the mountains may fall and the hills yet the love of the lord will stand as a shelter for all who will call on his name sing the praise and the glory of god
