Live Daily Holy Mass | 04 March 2022 | Ss. Peter & Paul's Church | Ireland

[Music] [Music] take me [Music] [Laughter] [Music] we have [Music] but you [Music] what i shall be [Music] [Music] in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit amen the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god and the communion of the holy spirit be with you all and with your spirit good morning everybody good morning you are very welcome here to our mass this is our friday after ash wednesday and we're now just moving into lent today is also the feast of saint kazimier uh a police saint so we remember that great saint and we also continue to remember during this mass the unfortunate people in ukraine and in europe generally that somehow reason may prevail and that terrible war may cease and we also pray to keep in mind all the wonderful young people who are being confirmed today so in this spirit we begin and let us now acknowledge our sins to so prepare ourselves to celebrate these sacred mysteries i confess to almighty god and to you my brothers and sisters that i have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words and what i have done and what i have failed to do through my fault through my fault through my most grievous fault therefore i ask blessed mary ever virgin all the angels and saints and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the lord our god and may almighty god have mercy on us forgive us our sins and bring us all into everlasting life amen lord have mercy lord have mercy christ have mercy christ have mercy lord have mercy on god and let us pray show gracious favor o lord we pray to the works of penance that we have begun that we may have strength to accomplish with sincerity the bodily observances we undertake through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you and the unity of the holy spirit one god forever and ever amen and we now listen to the word a reading from the prophet isaiah thus says the lord shout for all your worth raise your voice like a trumpet proclaim their faults to my people their sins to the house of jacob they seek me day after day they long to know my ways like a nation that wants to act with integrity and not ignore the law of its god they asked me for laws that are just they long for god to draw near why should we fast if you never see it why do penance if you never notice look you do business on your fast days you oppress all your workmen look you quarrel and squabble when you fast and strike the poor man with your fist fasting like yours today will never make your voice heard on high is that the sort of fast that pleases me a truly penitential day for men hanging your head like a reed lying down on sat cloth and ashes is that what you call fasting a day acceptable to the lord is not this the sort of fast that pleases me it is the lord who speaks to break unjust fetters and undo the tongues of yoke to let the oppressed go free and break every yoke to share your bread with the hungry and shelter the homeless poor to clothe the man you see to be naked and not turn from your own cane then will your light shine like the dawn and you won't be quickly healed over your integrity will go before you and the glory of the lord behind you cry and the lord will answer call and he will say i am here the word of the lord thank you to god response a humbled contrite heart oh god you will not spurn a humble contract heart to a god you will not respond have mercy on me god in your kindness in your compassion blout out my offense will wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin a hand will contrast heart to our lord my offense is truly i know them my sin is always before me against you you alone have i sinned what is evil in your sight i have done a humble that contrite heart for a lord who will not spawn for in sacrifice you take no delight burnt offering from me you would refuse my sacrifice a contri spirit a humbled contrite heart you will not spurn [Music] my soul is waiting for the lord i count on his word because with the lord there's mercy and fullness of redemption [Music] a reading from the holy gospel according to matthew glory to you oh lord john's disciples came to jesus and said why is it that we and the pharisees fast but your disciples do not jesus replied surely the bridegroom's attendance would never think of mourning as long as the bridegroom is still with them but the time will come for the bridegroom to be taken away from them and then they will fast the gospel of the lord praise to your lord jesus christ in both our readings this morning there is a reference to fasting and if you notice in uh that very very lovely publication the link for the parish magazine father paddy this week is talking also about a type of fasting that maybe not to be is not to be encouraged i have very good reason to remember what real fasting is about this real severe fasting when i was a small child my father who was a chain smoker and a chainsmoker of players cigarettes but you are all too young to remember players they were a good strong cigarette and he was uh a very heavy smoker i never saw one i i never realized he was so heavy when i used to watch him light one cigarette from the other but every lent religiously every lent he gave up the cigarettes he fasted from the cigarettes but my god did everybody know it and life was a holy terror in jail during lent we used to be waiting for easter morning for his first and then he was great form now that type of fasting my mother used to say i don't know what he thinks he's doing and i had little questions around the fasting there's a form of fasting and jesus refers to it there was a form of fasting even in the old religion and people's old relationship with god in the early jewish religion that was absoluteized and everything surrounded it and as long as you fasted you could do what you liked whereas jesus is warning us about that kind of fasting and john our father paddy in his writing this this week is warning us about it as well and the readings we have just been reading especially that first reading is warning us about that type of fasting too there is a type of fasting which is not really christian fasting has a purpose but we mustn't absolutize it and we must understand fasting as a fasting from doing unkind things to others to give up ways of making life miserable for others are of failing to help others and to actually adopt a more positive approach to lent and to life lent is a time a special time of preparation for the great feasts of easter and therefore it is a time a lovely time to celebrate our land but in us in a more positive spirit i think we should concentrate on fasting from unkind things in other words we should try and be genuinely like jesus to do something extra all right and lent five more minutes before the blessed eucharist is a beautiful way prayer of any kind is is wonderful but also especially to do good deeds to be more christ-like his whole life was spent doing good for others doing kind deeds doing loving things it's far more important to be loving than to be severe it is far better to love our brothers and sisters than to embark on some great dramatic fast so that's the type of celebration of lent and that is how jesus had an approach to life which was not exemplified by dramatic fast but by doing good he went around doing good he went around in a loving kind helpful compassionate fashion and that's a lovely way of celebrating lent to do that little bit extra to be a nicer person to do good works in in in our own little quiet ways that's another way a wonderful way of celebrating lent and nothing is there to stop us from occasionally fasting ourselves but not to as it were make too much of it be emphasizing all the time goodness kindness compassionate way make a little resolution of saying something nice to people to be complementary to be encouraging to be loving to be forgiving that's another wonderful way of celebrating lent and now we come to pray and we pray this morning especially we ask the lord to answer our prayers we pray for the church that his life will shine in the sight of all people and lead him to praise the father in heaven lord hear us lord graciously hear us we pray for pope francis he will continue to lead the church with humility and mercy helping us all to be faithful to jesus in prayer and in the care of the poor lord hear us lord preciously hear us as war rages in the ukraine pope francis has asked us to pray for peace we ask god who is the god of peace and not of war who is

know the presence of god alive and active in your hearts and in your homes your tears lord graciously hear us we pray for all whom we have been asked to pray for as we take a few moments of silence

willingly into his passion he took bread and giving thanks broke it and gave it to his disciples saying 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 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 all for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me the mystery of faith [Music] you have set us [Music] therefore as we celebrate
