that we may always Revere and love your holy name for you never deprive of your guidance those you set firm on the foundation of Your Love through our Lord Jesus Christ your son who lives and reigns

him all those who used to be my friends watched for my downfall perhaps he will be seduced into error then we will Master him and take our revenge but the Lord is at my side A Mighty Hero my opponents will stumble mastered confounded by their failure Everlasting Unforgettable disgrace will be theirs but you Lord of hosts you who probe with Justice who scrutinize the loins and heart let me see the Vengeance you will take on them for I have committed my cause to you sing to the Lord praise the Lord for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hands of evil men the word of the Lord in your great love answer me o God it is for you that I suffer taunts that shame covers my face that I have become a stranger to my brothers an alien to my own mother's sons I burn with Zeal for your house and taunts against you fall on me in your great love answer me Google this is my prayer to you my prayer for your favor in your great love answer me o god with your help that never fails Lord answer for your love is kind in your compassion turn towards me in your great love our the poor when they see it will be glad and god-seeking hearts will revive for the Lord listens to the needy and does not spurn his servants in their chains let the heavens and the Earth give him praise the sea and all its living creatures in your great love answer me a reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans sin entered the world through one man and through sin death and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned sin existed in the world long before the law was given there was no law and no one could be accused of the law sin of law breaking yet death reigned over all from Adam to Moses even though their sin unlike that of Adam was not a matter of breaking a law Adam prefigured the one to come but the gift itself considerably outweighed the fall if it is certain that through one man's fall so many died it is even more certain that divine grace coming through the one man Jesus Christ came so many as an abundant free gift the word of the Lord Hallelujah [Music] the word was made flesh and lived among us to all who did accept him he gave power to become children of God questions the Lord be with you a reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Jesus instructed the twelve as follows do not be afraid for everything that is now covered will be uncovered and everything now hidden will be made clear what I say to you in the dark tell in the daylight what you hear in Whispers Proclaim from the housetops do not be afraid of Those Who Kill the body but cannot kill the soul fear Him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell can you not buy Two Sparrows for a penny and yet not one falls to the ground without your father knowing why every hair on your head has been counted so there is no need to be afraid you are worth more than hundreds of sparrows so if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of men I would declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven but the one who disowns me in the presence of men I will disown in the presence of my Father in heaven the gospel of the Lord Jesus said do not be afraid of Those Who Kill the body that cannot kill the soul easier said than done of course even Christ himself prays In The Garden of Gethsemane to avoid the Pains of a persecutory death if possible no one in his right mind puts his hand up and volunteers for suffering if it is avoidable most of us are not enthusiasts for pain and suffering and do not either look forward to it or frankly readily embrace it when it comes nonetheless how we deal with it when it is inevitable or conscience leaves us no other choice is solitary in this week just passed we celebrated the great English Masters Saint Thomas More and Saint John Fisher on Saturday we celebrated the Forerunner martyr John the Baptist and today we hear from Jeremiah the prophet all victims in their time of the sudden and alarming shifts of philosophical and Theological weather in their respective settings who would have imagined that the miracle child John the Baptist the hope of many in the nation would end his days in the dungeon of a half-breed adulterer murdered the whim of a dancing girl and her vicious mother who would have conceived that one of the great prophets of Israel would for his services to the nation be imprisoned thrown down a well and chased into exile for his love of his country and his people who could have begun to grasp the lightning speed with which this realm went from being awarded a Papal Commendation a title that still ironically Graces our coinage FID death defender of the faith to the rapacious destroyer of the whole network of the Catholic faith and the State murder of its most doubted Defenders and heretofore closest friends in our own time we have witnessed the profound changes in what was once Empire the rise of militant versions of the competing religions of the East have seen an alarming rise in the brutal persecution of the once strong Christian communities wholesale Slaughter and the burning down of churches is not unfamiliar to the remnant of the faithful and they have been rightly alarmed and astonished to find that at governmental level they have now been largely abandoned by the now entirely secular post-modern states of once was what the heartland of Christendom within our own culture we have witnessed the gradual marginalization of Christianity to the point of almost institutional irrelevance instead it has been replaced by the organized forces of materialistic philosophies and this is no accident but rather the result of a long-term carefully planned strategy of internal assault by the various offshoots of Marxism for seeing that the Marxist experiment had failed to ferment the necessary revolutions predicted by its inventor and that it had failed historically to deliver the goods either institutionally or economically indeed it had led without exception to dictatorship famine and Death on a historic scale a group of philosophers the Frankfurt School inspired by the writings of a man called Antonio gramsi had put its money on what became known as the Long March through the institutions knowing that with a track record of monumental failure cruelty and disaster no one was going to democratically elect a new Soviet they decided they must win the battle by infiltrating and subverting the institutions what they described as the very Heartland of the hated Bourgeois power thus by 1970 I was witnessing this Theory being marketed by a man called Rudy dutchka read Rudy at the Cambridge Union debating chamber to Wild enthusiasm the new intellectual Elite Rudy celebrated the imminent collapse of capitalism and the Christian West this tactic has worked remarkably well as yourselves can witness as the process of governance is now more directed by the pressure of Lobby groups than by Democratic ascent and the most surprising institutions and corporations increasingly turn up on the side of the enemy rejecting the judeo-christian settlement that up to now has underpinned our civilization this process is at the heart of the identity crisis now afflicting the West well you may say politics is not the business of the pulpit but Pious ignorance of the terrifyingly costly consequences of the Triumph of the politics of evil is no longer a realistic option if indeed it ever was Jeremiah preached the word of the Lord with deepest political consequences the persecution of the faith is a daily reality in the political sphere and we must needs be aware of the tactics of the enemy if the gospel is once more to gain traction and be the go-to for salvation if we are not alert to this then no amount of synodal bureaucracy or pastoral reordering will do anything more than rearrange the deck chairs on the ecclesiastical Titanic politics after all is the practical application of what we most deeply believe so we need to know our stuff and to articulate it we need to know where to direct people we need to reassert what we stand for we need to understand what our history teaches and we need to know what the salutary values of the Gospel are and be ready to welcome people home we need to constantly point out the costly and cruel Folly of the materialist era and to call our people back to God if that means we have to suffer then we will at least be in the good company of the Saints and martyrs upon whose prayers we daily depend and whose example is our daily inspiration amen we stand to affirm our faith I believe in one God of the wrong place of all the things [Music] through him all things were made for us men and for our Salvation he came down from heaven by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary I became man for our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate if he suffered death and was buried and rose in accordance with the scriptures I believe in the Holy Spirit the Lord The Giver of Life sins and I look forward we are God's beloved children and he hears us when we call for our Holy Father Pope Francis and all our Bishops that they may be ever zealous in guiding God's people Lords in your mercy for our leaders that they may make fair and just decisions for the well-being of our country Lord in your mercy for all victims of unfair discrimination that God may give
