friends in christ what is god's call on your life when our lord embark on his mission the lord jesus chose twelve men to be his friends and apostles but in the choice of the twelve we see a characteristic feature of the work of god because jesus chose very ordinary people very ordinary men they were non-professionals they had no wealth and no position they were chosen from the common people who did ordinary things they had no special education they had no social advantages but they said yes to the voice and to the call of jesus our lord also is inviting us to become his disciples for the many times we refuse to say yes to jesus let us acknowledge our guilt be sorry for all our sins you were sent to heal the contrite lord have mercy lord have mercy you came to call sinners christ have mercy christ have mercy you plead for us at the right and of the father lord have mercy lord have mercy may almighty god have mercy on us forgive us our sins bring us to everlasting life amen let us pray oh god by whom we are redeemed and receive adoption look graciously upon your beloved sons and daughters that those who believe in christ may receive true freedom and an everlasting inheritance through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god for ever and ever a reading from the letter of saint paul to the colossians brothers and sisters as you receive christ jesus the lord walk in him rooted in him and built upon him and established in the faith as you were taught abounding and thanksgiving see to it that no one captivates you with an empty seductive philosophy according to tradition of men according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to christ for in him dwells the whole fullness of deity badly and you share in this fullness in him who is the head of every principality and power in him you are also circumcised with the circumcision not administered by hand by stripping off the carnal body with the circumcision of christ you were buried with him in baptism in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of god who raised him from the dead and even when you were dead in transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh he brought you to life along with him having forgiven us all our transgressions obliterating the band against us with its legal claims which was opposed to us he also removed it from our meets nailing it to the cross despoiling the principalities and the powers he made a public spectacle of them leading them away in triumph by it the word of the lord thanks be to god the lord is compassionate toward all his works the lord is compassionate toward all his works i will extol you o my god and king and i will bless your name forever and ever every day will i bless you and i will praise your name forever and ever the lord is compassionate toward all his works the lord is gracious and merciful slow to anger and of great kindness the lord is good to all and compassionate toward all his works the lord is compassionate toward all his works let all your works give you things o lord and let your faithful ones bless you let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might the lord is compassionate toward all his works please stand to honor the holy gospel [Music] the kingdom of god righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you [Music] [Music] the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading is taken from the holy gospel according to saint blue glory to you o lord jesus departed to the mountain in order to pray and he spent the night in prayer to god when they came he called his disciples to himself and from them he chose twelve whom he also named apostles simon whom he named peter and his brother andrew james and john philip and bartholomew matthew thomas james the son of alfies simon who was called a zealot and judas the son of james and judas iscariot who became a traitor and he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground a great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people from all judea and jerusalem and the coastal region of tyre and sedon came to listen to jesus and to be healed of their diseases and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits they were cured everyone in the crowd sought to touch him because power came forth from him and healed them all my dear friends in christ this is the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ the gospel reading today is a narration of the election of the twelve it is the story of the election or selection or the choice of the twelve apostles the lord said to them you did not choose me i chose you to bear fruit your fruit shall endure and by your fruits people will know that you are my disciples my dear brothers and sisters these men were chosen from among a group of disciples what does the word disciple mean the word disciple actually means a learner a disciple is a pupil that is why these men were to be those who were always learning more and more about the master did not jesus also say you are all learners you have only one teacher come to think of it we are all learners we are all disciples we are all pupils there is only one teacher christ the lord these men were chosen to be his apostles the greek word apostolos means someone who is mission someone who is sent out the word can be used for an envoy or an ambassador that is why the apostles were to be ambassadors for christ to other people the christian is also sent to be an ambassador of christ not only in word but also in action and come to think of it my dear brothers and sisters all of us occupy some kind of a pulpit every day not necessarily because we have to preach about the word of god but the way of life that we live that is our pulpit that is the pulpit from which other people will get inspired what kind of men were the original apostles of jesus they were ordinary mortals they were not special they were not privileged people there was no wealthy no prominent no influential person among them they had no special education they did not study in ivy league schools they did not study in the best universities they were men of the common fork our lord jesus muslim said give me 12 ordinary men give me 12 ordinary men and i will change the world that is why the work of jesus lies not in the hands of men whom the world calls great but in the hands of ordinary people whom he called to be disciples and later on apostles interestingly the apostles chosen were a strange mixture of personalities they are a strange mixture of characters coming from different backgrounds like the seminarians like all of us we are not a photocopy of each other we are different we are unique in our own way you are not me i am not you you are not me i am not you i do not want to be like you and i'm sure you do not want to be like me you are you and i am me the apostles were a strange mixture of people coming from different backgrounds they exhibited different behaviors different impairments like you and i but the choice of this man emphasizes the universal character of mission that is why we are different it wants to underline the universal character of mission the church is missionary in nature and vocation all the apostles became missionaries except one all of them became missionaries except one because this one opted to be a betrayer or a traitor the church is catholic meaning universal in its mission to take but two of them matthew was a tax collector and therefore he was a traitor and a renegade simon peter was a zealot and the zealots were fanatical nationalists who were sworn to assassinate every traitor and every roman citizen inside the important thing is that when people are really christian in outlook even the most diverse and different types can still peaceably live together my dear friends in christ if we really love god we will try to love one another it may be difficult but it is not impossible may i remind our benefactors our sponsors our donors about the invitation that i sent out to most of you if not all i tried my best to send out the invitation for the mass tomorrow tomorrow september 8 is the birthday of the blessed virgin mary and tomorrow september 8th is also the 146th birthday or founding anniversary of the svd

time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion he took bread and gave you thanks he broke it gave it to the disciples and said take this all of you and eat of it 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 he gave you thanks he gave me to the disciples and said take this all of you and drink from it 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 my memory us proclaim the mystery of our faith we proclaim your death o lord and profess your resurrection until you come again therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection we offer you lord the bread of life the chalice of
