uziya died i saw the lord seated on a high and lofty throne with the train of his garment filling the temple seraphim were stationed above they cried one to the other holy holy holy is the lord of hosts all the earth is filled with his glory at the sound of that cry the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke then i said woe is me i am doomed for i am a man of unclean lips living among a people of unclean lips yet my eyes have seen the king the lord of hosts then one of the seraphim flew to me holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the outer he touched my mouth with it and said see now that this has touched your lips your wickedness is removed your sin purged then i heard the voice of the lord saying whom shall i send who will go for us here i am i said send me the word of the lord thanks be to god in the sight of the angels i will sing your praises lord in the sight of the angels i will sing your praises lord i will give thanks to you o lord with all my heart for you have heard the words of my mouth in the presence of the angels i will sing your praise i will worship at your holy temple and give thanks to your name [Music] in the sight of the angels i will sing your praises lord because of your kindness and your truth for you have made great above all things your name and your promise when i called you answered me you built up strength within me in the sight of the angels i will sing your praises lord all the kings of the earth shall give thanks to you o lord when they hear the words of your mouth and they shall sing of the ways of the lord grace is the glory of the lord in the sight of the angels i will sing your praises lord your right hand saves me the lord will complete what he has done for me your kindness o lord endures forever forsake not the work of your hands in the sight of the angels i will sing your praises lord a reading from the first letter of saint paul to the corinthians i am reminding you brothers and sisters of the gospel i preached to you which you indeed received and in which you also stand through it you are also being saved if you hold fast to the word i preached to you unless you believed in vain for i handed on to you as of first importance what i also received [Music] that christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures that christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures that he was buried that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures that he appeared to cephas then to the 12th after that he appeared to more than 500 brothers at once most of whom are still living though some have fallen asleep after that he appeared to james then to all the apostles last of all as to one born abnormally he appeared to me for i am the least of the apostles not fit to be called an apostle because i persecuted the church of god but by the grace of god i am what i am and his grace to me has not been ineffective indeed i have toiled harder than all of them not i however but the grace of god that is with me therefore whether it be i or day so we preach and so you believed the word of the lord thanks be to god please stand hallelujah [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to you glory to you o lord [Music] while the crowd was pressing in on jesus and listening to the word of god he was standing by the lake of jenesseret he saw two boats there alongside the lake the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets getting into one of the boats the one belonging to simon he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat after he had finished speaking he said to simon put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch simon said in reply master we have worked hard all night and have got nothing but at your command i will lower the nets when they had when they had done this they caught a great number of fish and their nets was staring they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them they came and filled both boats so that the boats were in danger of sinking when simon peter saw this he fell at the knees of jesus and said depart from me lord for i am a sinful man [Music] for astonishment as the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him and likewise james and john the sons of zebedee who were partners of simon jesus said to simon do not be afraid from now on you will be catching men when they brought their boats to the shore they left everything and followed him the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ please be seated my dear brothers and sisters i am sure that all of us in one point of our life have felt inadequate that feeling of something is lacking hindi [Music] the feeling of inadequacy [Music] and this feeling of inadequacy pervades our readings this sunday in our first reading the prophet isaiah was called by god to proclaim his word to the people isaiah was called to a mission of prophecy but isaiah was quick to admit his inadequacy and limitation he said to god i am a man of unclean lips living among a people of unclean lips [Music] the feeling of inadequacy and unworthiness hindi magawa this is also the same sentiment of saint paul in our second reading today saint paul was called to be an apostle of jesus and to be a missionary to the gentiles and yet saint paul was also quick to admit that i am not fit to be called an apostle because i persecuted the church of god [Music] [Music] i am not worthy i am inadequate and saint peter in our gospel today also had the same feeling after that miraculous coach recognizing the lord in his boat peter said depart from me for i am a sinful man [Music] and yet jesus told him from now on i will make you fishers of men how could that be [Music] peter could not even catch a single fish walanga peter was not fit for the job he was inadequate and he acknowledged that i am not worthy the feeling of inadequacy but my dear brothers and sisters despite the inadequacy of isaiah paul and peter jesus still called them god still invited them to fulfill the mission entrusted by god to them at i think it is precisely because they are inadequate that is why god told them [Music] [Music] through their inadequacy god can work wonders through their inadequacy god could reveal his power through them and so what happened because isaiah acknowledged his own inadequacy because of his unclean lips god touched the lips of isaiah and removed his wickedness and purged all his sins because paul acknowledged his own inadequacy as a persecutor of christians god showered upon him graces that he would need for the mission and so pete saint paul could say i am what i am because of the grace of god and peter was able to catch many fish because of jesus who told him put out into deep waters and lower the net for a catch angdios [Music] my dear brothers and sisters we are no different from isaiah paul and peter like them we also have been entrusted with missions with responsibilities in life and many times we also feel inadequate in fulfilling these missions and responsibilities there are mothers and fathers who feel inadequate as [Music] [Music] [Music] even in our dealing of this pandemic we have all felt inadequate solution in our society in government in politics in business we could all see in adequacy maraming hindi you know my dear brothers and sisters a few weeks ago i was given an added work in the archdiocese of manila i was assigned as the archdiocesan spokesperson spokes dayan when cardinal advincola called me to tell me about my appointment i told him that i hesitate to accept the responsibility i even suggested other priests [Music] yes we have considered them but i chose you thank you but until now i feel inadequate because i am not really trained when it comes to media i am not media savvy in fact i am camera shy i prefer to work in the background i would prefer to write the script instead of delivering it before media and reporters but i take consolation in our readings this sunday god can work through weak and our inadequacy is god's way of telling us trust me our inadequacies are god's way of telling us allow me to take over and when god takes over miracles happen we just have to be humble we just have to acknowledge that we need god that we need god's help if we are proud we will not admit our inadequacy um [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] but when we are humble when we admit our inadequacy when we acknowledge that we need the help of god then god will surely come to take over to help us to do great things in us and through us the problem is many times we do not admit that [Music] let us take inspiration from our readings this sunday let us not be ashamed to admit our inadequacies [Music] god knows that we are inadequate that is why god is always ready to help us and when god comes to help us we will be surprised at what god can do look at isaiah he became one of the greatest prophets of the old testament look at saint paul he is considered as the greatest missionary of the gospel of jesus and look at peter is considered as our first pope the first leader of the church hindi anakahulika is [Music] if god can do it to them god can surely do it to us please stand let us all together profess our faith i believe in god the father almighty creator of heaven and earth and in jesus christ his only son our lord who was conceived by the holy spirit born of the virgin mary suffered under pontius pilate was crucified he descended into hell on the third day he rose again from the dead he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of god the father almighty from there he will come to judge the living and the dead i believe in the holy spirit the holy catholic church the communion of saints the our savior says come follow me

peter the fisherman of galilee let us pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for more messengers to be sent to call people to worship and love the christ holy god let us pray to the lord lord hear our

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] please stand the mystery of faith we proclaim your death o lord and
