that we may honor you with all our mind and love everyone in truth of heart through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god forever and ever amen please visit a reading from the book of deuteronomy moses spoke to all the people saying a prophet like me will the lord your god raise up for you from among your own kin to him you shall listen this is exactly what you requested of the lord your god at horeb on the day of the assembly when you said let us not again hear the voice of the lord our god nor see this great fire anymore lest we die and the lord said to me this was well said i will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin and will put my words into his mouth he shall tell them all that i command him whoever will not listen to my words which speaks in my name i myself will make him answer for it but if a prophet presumes to speak in my name an oracle that i have not commanded him to speak or speaks in the name of other gods he shall die the word of the lord thanks be to god if today you hear his voice harden not your hearts if today you hear his voice harden not your hearts come let us sing joyfully to the lord let us acclaim the wrath of our salvation let us come into his presence with thanksgiving let us joyfully sing psalms to him if today you hear his voice harden up your hearts come let us bow down in worship let us kneel before the lord who made us for he is our god and we are the people who shepherds the flock he guides if today you hear his voice harden not your hearts oh that today you hear his voice harden not your hearts as in the day of mezza in the desert where your fathers tented me they tested me though they had seen my works if today you hear his voice harden up your hearts a reading from the first letter of saint paul to the corinthians brothers and sisters i should like you to be free of anxieties an unmarried man is anxious about the things of the lord how he may please the lord but a married man is anxious about the things of the world how he may please his wife and he is divided an unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the lord so that she may be holy in both body and spirit a married woman on the other hand is anxious about the things of the world how she may please her husband am telling you this for your own benefit not to impose our strength upon you but for the sake of propriety and adherence to the lord without destruction the word of the lord thanks be to god please all stand [Music] hallelujah [Music] the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen [Music] [Applause] [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Applause] the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to mark glory to you o lord then they came to capernaum and on the sabbath jesus entered the synagogue and thought the people were astonished at his teaching for he taught them as one having authority and not as describes in their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit he cried out what have you to do with us jesus of nazareth have you come to destroy us i know who you are the holy one of god jesus rebuked him and said quiet come out of him the unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him all were amazed and asked one another what is this a new teaching with authority he commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him his fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of galilee the gospel of the lord praise to you lord jesus christ please be seated my dear brothers and sisters in our gospel this sunday [Music] jesus encounters a man with [Music] and it is very surprising that the unclean spirit who spoke through the man knows who jesus is spiritual the unclean spirit said i know who you are the holy one of god my dear brothers and sisters even the unclean spirit knows who jesus is this tells us that not because you know jesus you are already good you are already holy and you are already on the side of god [Music] jesus [Music] knowledge of jesus is not enough because even the evil spirit [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and so what spells the difference between someone who just merely knows god and someone who truly believes in god [Music] look at the question of the evil spirit to jesus he said what have you to do with us jesus of nazareth jesus that spells the difference the evil spirit knows who jesus is but he does not want jesus to meddle with his life [Music] the devil knows who jesus is but the devil does not want jesus to have anything to do with him my dear brothers and sisters a very important lesson for us today a true christian does not only know god a true christian knows god and allows god to meddle with his life [Music] [Music] [Music] jesus my dear brothers and sisters i know that many of us if not everyone does not want people to meddle with their life [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] but my dear brothers and sisters do we also tell these words to god do we also tell god you have nothing to do with my life do not meddle with my life [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] do we just open certain areas in our life for god and for the other areas of our life we shut him out my dear brothers and sisters do we also tell god what have you to do with me why meddle with my life and if we say those words if we try to get rid of god from our lives then we are almost sure what kind of spirit possesses us to in our first reading today moses spoke to the people about the prophets that god will raise for his people and moses specified the lord through moses specified what the prophet will do a prophet will speak not his words but the words of god a prophet speaks in the name of god my dear brothers and sisters until now god sends prophets in our midst and the question is do we listen to the prophets do we listen to the words of god spoken to us by the messengers he sends and do we allow the words of god spoken by the prophets to guide our lives to guide our decisions to guide our attitudes and our lifestyles my dear brothers and sisters the church is a prophet part of the ministry of the church is to be a prophet [Music] [Music] [Music] the word of god disturbs us and so when the church fulfills her prophetic ministry many times there are people who react and get angry many times the church will be accused of meddling with the affairs of [Music] m my dear brothers and sisters those are the very words of the unclean spirit [Music] this is my body and so i am free to do what i want with my body if you say this is my family and god has nothing to do with my family [Music] business then we must be very careful because the unclean spirit might be speaking through us [Music] is and during this moment let us ask jesus to say the words he uttered to the unclean spirit may jesus also tell us quiet come out of him [Music] foreign my dear brothers and sisters can we really live without reading today tells us i would like you to be free of anxieties i would like you to be free of worries and how will you be free from anxieties from fears and worries simple says adhere to the lord without destruction focus on the lord and you will be free from fear worry [Music] [Music] is allowing god to be part of our life adherence to the lord is opening my life to god and telling god lord let your will be done in my life rule in my life so that i will be free from distractions from anxieties and fears [Music] [Music] my dear brothers and sisters do you allow god to meddle in your life what has god to do in your life come to think of it my dear brothers and sisters god has all the right to meddle in our life because he created us he saved us and he sustains our life every single moment [Music] [Music] because my dear brothers and sisters the moment god stops meddling in our life it means death to us and so my dear brothers and sisters today let us tell god lord meddle all you want because your meddling is life for me 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 died and was buried 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 forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body and life

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 for 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 please stand the mystery of 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 and the chalice of salvation giving thanks that you have held us worthy to
