lamb being led to the slaughterhouse not knowing the schemes they were plotting against me let us destroy the tree in its strength let us cut him off from the land of the living so that his name may be quickly forgotten but you lord of hosts who pronounce a just sentence who probe the loins and heart let me see the vengeance you will take on them for i have committed my cause to you the word of the lord thanks lord my god i take shelter in you lord my god i take shelter in you lord god i take refuge in you from my pursuer save me and rescue me lest he tear me to pieces like a lion and drag

mind and heart oh just god god is the shield that protects me who saves the upright of heart god is a just judge slow to anger but he threatens the wicked every day lord my god i take shelter in you to praise lord jesus christ [Music] lord jesus christ the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to john glory to you o lord several people who had been listening to jesus said surely he must be the prophet and some said he is the christ but others said would the christ be from galilee does not scripture say that the christ must be descended from david and come from the town of bethlehem so the people could not agree about him some would have liked to arrest him but nobody actually laid hands on him the police went back to the chief priests and pharisees who said to them why haven't you brought him in the police replied there never has been anybody who has spoken like him so the pharisee sensed it you have been led astray as well have you have any of the authorities believed in him any of the pharisees this trouble knows nothing about the law they are damned one of them nicodemus the same man who had come to jesus earlier said to them but surely the law does not allow us to pass judgment on a man without giving him a hearing and discovering what he is about to this they answered are you a galilean too go into the matter and see for yourself prophets do not come out of galilee the gospel of the lord praise you lord jesus christ nicodemus said but surely the law does not allow us to pass judgments on a man without giving him a hearing and discovering what he is about and this statement and his attitude is something that we all need to embrace in our lives as human beings and communal beings we have the tendency to quickly judge and to make conclusions about people about situations and even regarding matters that pertain to our faith but nicodemus teaches us that we should keep an open mind especially to things and situations which are beyond our capacity to comprehend fully and understand as nicodemus told his colleagues on the jewish council we should be slow to condemn that we do not understand like him we need to know the facts before rejecting or accepting something as true and in order to understand we must respect different opinions if jesus messiahship was the public issue among his people and their religious readers leaders during his lifetime we might be today debating about the efficacy of sacrament or churches authority to teach and interpret the signs of time so dear sisters and brothers let us pray today that we may be that we may cultivate in us an attitude of open heart like nicodemus let us learn to respect to listen and understand various opinions let us also learn to see the flip side of situations and people so that we respect accept and acknowledge people and situations let us not be too quick to judge and condemn you as we call the rejection of the savior who suffered for our sake let us ask for the faith of the humble that we may transmit christ's message to others through our words and deeds you are our strength o lord that those in authority may be guided by the spirit of faith let us pray to the lord you are our strength o lord that courage may be given to those who spread the gospel message everywhere let us pray to the lord you are our strength that rich nations may be generous to poor nations let us pray to the lord you are our strength that the sick the prisoners the elderly and the handicapped may be strengthened by god's consoling words let us pray to the lord that the faithful departed may enjoy the promised everlasting peace let us pray to the lord you are our strength pray for vocations o divine jesus you taught us

hours of grace has begun uh from 8 am this morning so whenever there is a mass celebrated or other sacraments celebrated in the church we can't expose a blessed sacrament but the idea is that perpetual adoration of the blessed sacrament for next seven days and because of corporate situations that is not technically possible so from 8 a.m till 10 30 p.m or 10 p.m every day we have uh adoration of the blessed sacrament and a blessed sacrament exposed here in the church or in the chapel so today i will expose the blessed sacrament so there will not be a benediction at 11 o'clock because the adoration is being continued after that but i will report the blessed sacrament at 11 because there is a mass at 11 30 in the church and the adoration will continue to happen in the in the chapel uh the adoration chapel uh for that time being when the mass is celebrated here and there will be only one peaceful confession today and it will end at 11 am thank you the lord be with you and with your spirits may almighty god bless you the father the son and the holy spirit amen the mass ascended let us go in the peace of christ please name [Music] greece [Music] oh [Music] is jesus
