webcam facebook live and shalom world we come together as brothers and sisters in jesus christ we gather in his name and in his presence and today again we're touching base with the church of many former centuries ago as we celebrate the feast of two great saints sent cornelius and saint cyprian cornelius was bishop of rome pope cornelius and the third century and it was a time of great persecution and he was exiled and died in exile saint cyprian was born in carthage and became at 35 years of age he converted to christianity and was became a bishop and he was a great defender of the faith and he pleaded on behalf of people who had abandoned the faith but because of persecution and wanted to rejoin and he always pleaded that they should be allowed to rejoin without too much difficulty but when he was faced himself with denying the faith because of persecution he wouldn't deny the faith and he said to his executioners i'm a bishop i'm a believer i'm not going to abandon my beliefs so get on with what you have to do and so he was executed we have that great treasury in the church of these wonderful men and women whose example is held up to us as saints and as martyrs we who are called not to die for our faith but rather to live for it are privileged let us prepare ourselves to celebrate this mass by remembering how sometimes we need god's understanding love and compassion in our lives as 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 failed to do through my fault through my fault through my most grievous fault therefore i ask blessed mary of a virgin all the angels and saints and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the lord our god may almighty god have mercy on us forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life amen lord have mercy lord have christ have mercy christ of my savior lord have mercy lord have mercy o god who gave saint cornelius and cyprian to your people as diligent shepherds and valiant martyrs grant that through their intercession we may be strengthened in faith and constancy and spend ourselves without reserve for the unity of the church through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit not one god forever and ever amen a reading from the first letter of saint paul to timothy do not let people disregard you because you are young but be an example to the believers in the way you speak and behave and in your love your faith and your purity make good make use of the time until i arrive by reading to the people preaching and teaching you having you a spiritual gift which was given to you when the prophets spoke and the body of elders laid

understanding his praise enjoys forever praise the lord praise the lord [Music] gospel hallelujah [Music] god in christ was reconciling the world to himself and he has entrusted to us the news that they are reconciled [Music] [Music] and the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to luke glory to you oh lord one of the pharisees invited jesus to a meal when jesus arrived at the pharisees house and took his place at table a woman came in who had a bad name in the town she had heard he was dining with the pharisee and had brought with her an alabaster jar of ointment she waited behind him at his feet weeping and her tears fell on his feet and she wiped them away with her hair and then she covered his feet with kisses and anointed them with ointment now when the pharisee who had invited jesus saw this he said to himself if this man were a prophet he would know who this woman is that is touching him and what a bad name she has but then jesus took him up and said simon i have something to say to you speak master was the reply and jesus said there was once a creditor who had two people in his debt one owed him 500 denarii and the other 50. they were unable to pay so he pardoned them both now which of them will love him more the one who was pardoned more i suppose answered simon and jesus said you are right and then he turned to the woman simon he said you see this woman i came into your house and you poured no water over my feet but she has poured out her tears over my feet and wiped them away with her hair you gave me no kiss but she has covering she has been covering my feet with kisses ever since i came in you did not anoint my head with oil but she has anointed my feet with ointment for this reason i tell you that her sins her many sins must have been forgiven her or she would not have shown such great love it is the person who is forgiven little who shows little love and then he said to the woman your sins are forgiven and those who were with him at table began to say to themselves who is this man that even he forgives sins but he said to the woman your faith has saved you go in peace this is the good news of the lord to your lord jesus christ powerful gospel really that episode of jesus being invited to the pharisees house i love the gospel lesson simon a pharisee invites jesus to dinner a woman known by all to be a sinner shows up and demonstrates great love for jesus simon assumes that jesus cannot be a legitimate prophet for if he did he would know that a sinner was touching him then jesus asks simon a question and asks about the creditors but i'm very struck by the next question he asks him he said simon do you see this woman the facts of the matter is that simon didn't see the woman didn't see a human being made in the image of god he just saw a sinner there's no doubt she was a sinner but people are much more than their sins the saying every saint has a past and every sinner has a future is so right yes she was a sinner there is a phrase that thank god we don't hear so much these days the phrase about someone living in sin used as if the rest of us aren't we're all sinners but as jesus says of that woman in the gospel her sins her many sins have been forgiven her because she loved much that's the antidote for our sins to love much jesus has taught and shown that god sees every human being every human being as a beloved child and that is our challenge also do you see this woman he asked we have to be careful to see every individual as a child of god not just to see the label traveler asylum seeker refugee unemployed or whatever nobody is a label to god nobody should be just a label to us the people who serve us in the shop the people who collect our refuse the people who keep our streets clean people whose status has been greatly elevated in this pandemic as frontline workers but we have to see them as individuals and as people and as beloved children of god that's the part and parcel of following jesus christ we glory in the dignity he bestows on us as a brother or sister as a child of god ourselves but the challenge in that is to see in every other person an individual child of god and to not to be judgmental to be able to acknowledge that god touches the hearts of all and just as he asked that pharisee who invited him to dinner do you see this woman please god we can answer yes if jesus asks us do you see this person and on this feast of cornelius and cyprian we ask for their intercession as we place these petitions before almighty god we pray that pope francis will enjoy a good rest today following his pastoral visits to hungary and slovakia we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer we pray that throughout the church there will be faithfulness to the teaching of the apostles so that all can deepen their faith in jesus christ we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer we pray for those with little or no love in their lives that the woman of the gospel may give them hope we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer and we pray for all those who join us this morning virtually may you continue to know the presence of god alive and

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 many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me [Music] the
