commanding you today by loving the lord your god walking in his ways and observing the commandments decrees and ordinances then you shall live and become numerous and the lord your god will bless you

advice of the wicked or take the path that sinners tread or sit in the seat of scoffers but their delight is in the law of the lord and on his law they meditate day and night how happy are they they are like trees planted by stream streams of water which yield their fruit in its season and their leaves do not wither in all that they do they prosper happy are they who hope in the lord the wicked are not so but are like chaff that the wind drives away the lord watcheth over the way of the righteous but the way of the wicked will perish happy are they who hope in the lord praise to you lord king of eternal glory praise to you [Music] the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to luke glory to you jesus spoke to his disciples and sternly ordered them not to tell anyone the son of man must undergo great suffering and be rejected by the elders chief priests and scribes and be killed and on the third day rise be raised then he said to them all if any want to become my followers let them deny themselves take up their cross daily and follow me for those who want to save their life will lose it and those who lose their life for my sake will save it what does it profit them if they gain the whole world but lose or forfeit themselves the gospel of the lord prays to you lord jesus christ we have the great advantage of perspective so i'm going to invite you to do something i'm going to invite you to take your hand and point your finger up and to make a circle with but to make this circle uh clockwise make it clockwise so above your head looking up make it a clockwise circle don't get dizzy or anything clockwise circle and slowly keep the turning going on and bring the arm down and then look at it now it's counterclockwise you kept spinning it in the same direction what happened perspective our perspective changed from below the circle to above the circle our perspective is some 2000 years after the death and resurrection of jesus and so we can comprehend we have a meaning we have a framework to be able to understand what it means to take up our cross and to follow christ we have an understanding of centuries of reflection and preaching about what it means to lose one's life to get to to gain eternal life by losing our dying to ourselves if you will as we come to share in the eucharist we seek to have that perspective strengthened and that capacity to follow the lord to to not be concerned about our own selfish nature but to be selfless as he was at the cross blessed are you lord god of all creation for it is through your goodness that we have this bread to offer which earth has given human hands have made to become for us the bread of life blessed be god blessed are you lord god of all creation for it is through your goodness we have this wine to offer fruit of the vine and work of human hands to become for us our spiritual drink blessed be god forever pray my brothers and sisters that my sacrifice and yours might be acceptable to god the father the almighty may the lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of god's name for our good and the good of all god's holy church regard with favor o lord we pray the offerings we set upon this sacred altar that bestowing on us your pardon our oblations may give honor to your name through christ our lord the lord be with you lift up your hearts

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 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 once more giving thanks he 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 o lord and profess your resurrection until you come again therefore as we celebrate the memorial of
