lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god forever and ever a reading from the first book of kings jeroboam left jerusalem and the prophet ahijah the sheila knight met him on the road the two were alone in the area and the prophet was wearing a new cloak elijah took off his new cloak tore it into twelve pieces and said to jeroboam take ten pieces for yourself the lord the god of israel says i will tear away the kingdom from solomon's grasp and will give you the ten give you ten of the tribes one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of david my servant and of jerusalem the city i have chosen out of all the tribes of israel israel went into rebellion against david's house to this day the word of the lord thanks peace be god i am the lord your god hear my voice i am the lord your god hear my voice there shall be no strange god among you nor shall you worship any alien god i the lord am your god who led you forth from the land of egypt i am the lord your god hear my voice my people heard not my voice and israel obeyed me not so i gave them up to the hardness of their hearts they walked according to their own counsels i am the lord your god hear my voice if only my people would hear me and israel would walk in my ways quickly would i humble their enemies against their foes i would turn my hand i am the lord your god hear my voice the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to mark jesus left the district of tyre and went by way of sudan to the sea of galilee into the district of the decapolis and people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him he took him off by himself away from the crowd he put his finger into the man's ear and spitting touched his tongue then he looked up to heaven and groaned and said to him ephesa that is be open and immediately the man's ears were open his speech impediment was removed and he spoke plainly he ordered them not to tell anyone but the more he ordered them not to the more they proclaimed it they were exceedingly astonished and they said he has done all things well he makes the deaf hear and the mute speak the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ today we celebrate the feast of our lady of lourdes we've heard of many miracles maybe you will personally experience some yourself you know earlier today um i just threw open social media just for a few minutes and the first thing that caught my eye was a picture of a church i think it was somewhere in illinois and it was two images it was what it used to be and what it is now and what it used to be and i'll say looked a lot like this uh beautifully adorned um very ornate lots of images of saints and angels and just stunning in its beauty the second image is what it looks like now a conference center all of it removed a place where and this was the movement by so many to make the church now a multi-purpose room for many functions why do i bring that up in the context of our lady of the lord and pointing to miracles i think it's because we've passed through a time that people didn't want our faith to be taken too seriously because then as i've been putting it we can manage god instead of god managing us imagine how these people felt when they encountered a supernatural miracle before their eyes imagine how that changed everything for them they could no longer keep god at a manageable distance they could no longer manage god instead allowing god to manage him a lot of people bring water back from lourdes and they pray for miracles and i've seen many and i've heard of many miracles do happen but again we're passing through a time where they wanted to dismiss these superstition now you're you're uh you're an idiot if you believe in such things as miracles and how do i make the connection to the church well once we're in that place where it's just a hall it's a multi-purpose room we're coming we're having lunch with jesus you know then our faith is reduced to a place where we can believe anything we can do anything we can not do many things come to church go to confession attention to and pray with our blessed mother we can do all that and still count ourselves as catholic christians that's what the human spirit wants they want our faith to not be taken seriously unfortunately that's where we're left then if we move in that direction empty void this sunday the one of my favorite readings is coming where it talks about you know first those who are separated from god it's like a barren desert of wasteland it's emptiness it doesn't mean anything but those who are in close to god those who believe in miracles those who believe in such things as supernatural power grace they're beside restful waters the waters that never cease in their lives cool delicious waters that fill us and give us that peace let's pray let's pray to our lady of lords today that all of us may enter more deeply i think it's a lifetime of doing that enter more deeply in our love for god in our dedication to god and our belief in god's supernatural power please stand with confidence in the compassion and love of our god let us offer him our prayers for those who are called to the priesthood of religious vocations may god continue to grant them a spirit of faithfulness and fortitude we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for those who are ill may god grant them healing and comfort we pray to the lord for the faith community may god's grace empower us in living our baptismal vocation we pray to lord lord hear our prayer for those who have died may god welcome them to the eternal banquet in heaven today's mass is being offered for robert holfelter we pray to the lord lord
