who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit god forever [Music] a reading from the book of sirach when a sieve is shaken the husks appear so do one's faults when one speaks as the test of what the potter molds is in the furnace so in tribulation is the test of the just the fruit of a tree shows the carrot it has had so too does one's speech disclose the bent of one's mind praise no one before he speaks for it is then that people are tested the word of the lord [Music] lord it is good to give thanks to you good to give thanks to you lord it is [Music] it is good to give thanks to the lord making psalms to your name almost high and proclaiming your mercies at mourning and your truth through the reaches of night lord good to give thanks to you with the music of lute and of hearts with the tunes of the lord we will see by your labors o god you give gladness in the deeds of your hands we rejoice lord it is a palm tree the righteous shall thrive like the seeders [Music] in the house of their god they are planted in the courts of the lord do they bloom [Music] to give thanks to you they will still bear their fruit in old age with a sap and with green will they be and declare that their god is full righteous in their lord in their rock is no wrong [Music] it is [Music] a reading from the first letter of saint paul to the corinthians brothers and sisters when this which is corruptable clothes itself with incorruptibility and this which is mortal clothes itself with immortality then the word that is written shall come about death is swallowed up in victory where o death is your victory where o death is your sting the sting of death is sin and the power of sin is the law but thanks be to god who gives us the victory through our lord jesus christ therefore my brothers and sisters be firm steadfast always fully devoted to the work of the lord knowing that in the lord your labor is not in vain the word of the lord [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Applause] shine like lights in the world as you hold on to the word of life [Music] [Applause] [Music] the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to [Music] luke jesus told his disciples a parable can a blind person guide a blind person will not both fall into a pit no disciple is superior to the teacher but when fully trained every disciple will be like his teacher why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own how can you say to your brother brother let me remove that splinter in your eye when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye you hypocrite remove the wooden beam from your eye first then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother's eye a good tree does not bear rotten food now does a rotten tree bear good food for every tree is known by its own food for people do not pick figs from thorn bushes nor do they gather crips from brambles a good person out of store of goodness in his heart produces good but an evil person out of store of evil produces evil for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks the gospel of the lord [Music] dear brothers and sisters in christ before i share my reflection on this sunday the a sunday in ordinary time on behalf of 26 pilgrims nick and john and i are deeply grateful for your prayers and support during our pyramid to the holy land we had a wonderful time and we're blessed to be able to visit these holy sites even in the middle of the pandemic every day we united with you and the world in celebrating the holy mass we started our journey from the sea of galilee of capernaum and ended in jerusalem we visited and followed the footsteps of our lord jesus christ his life mission and salvation of the world i thank you for the team and you all for giving me this opportunity to go and be a part of this pyramid i cannot wait to share with you all in these coming days thank you our greetings today invites us to the true discernment of people's attitude character and identity the first reading is from the book of sirach talks about testing it is necessary to reveal the true nature of every person just as a thief reveals the hurts and the glacier is molded in the fire so also a man's character is revealed when he speaks the lesson being pointed out here is about the need to discern the attitude and character of every person and not be easily taken in by the external attitude being shown one has to look inside in order not to be applied by the our appearance and behavior of a person second reading is from the second for the book of saint paul to the corinthians talks about the remaining steadfast infidelity and commitment to the lord and the fulfillment of their responsibilities saint paul acknowledged the weakness of everyone owing to man's credibility and limitations but this should not discourage everyone from striving for holiness and perfection he says in jesus there's always hope and certainty of victory over sin and death where all that is your victory where or death is your sting and the gospel from saying luke chapter 6 is a lost challenge to all his disciples to avoid all kinds of pride and hypocrisy he urges them to regularly look into oneself and examine his own deficiencies failures and sins it is easy to see the falls of others and condemn or ridicule them but the lord wants them to receive this temptation and always remain humble being reminded of their own sins and feelings the greatest sins of the scribes and fantasies is hypocrisy hypocrisy comes from the greek word which means actor an actor portrays a role that is different from his true self he performs only for show or for others to see in the spiritual life when a person acts contrary to his beliefs and convictions then he is a hypocrite a spiritual actor he may portray an image of holiness and piety especially when inside the church it is obviously to get the admiration and praise of people but in his daily life he is actually greedy and selfish then he becomes an abi abomination to the lord his worship is quite pointless for god looks into the heart he just lied the pharisees and scribes whom jesus condemned pride is the root of all vices is it the plank being deferred by jesus christ that blocks one's eyes to his own failures and sins pride is making the self the center of one's life interestingly the letter i is in the middle of the word pride when one gives excessive importance to the self over and above everybody and everything he becomes blind to the welfare of others this blank had to be removed and let the humble spirit emerge then it becomes easier to admit one's mistakes and be more compassionate and understanding of the sins and failures of others saint gerson gives this important advice he said there is no sin or crime committed by another which i myself am not capable of committing to my weakness and if i have not committed it it is because god in his mercy has not allowed me to or has preserved me in good humility is only anti-note to pride and hypocrisy a humble person is always honest and truthful he truly knows who he really is that he is both weak and gifted he is fully aware of his faults and sins and so he avoid judging others at the same time he also acknowledges and appreciates his giftedness and so develops a spirit of gratitude and generosity the proud person is always ready and willing to lie and deceive others on the other hand god is humble he even became a man and lived a simple and lonely life and suffered death on the cross then he proclaimed i am the way the truth and the life god can never lie and deceive a humble person is always truthful even if the truth hurts because he is ready to admit his faults and sins there is no peace in the world because there is no truth there is no truth because there is no humility to brothers and sisters as we are approaching the holy season of land let us ask the lord to give us the grace we need to follow him with humility honesty and truthfulness amen confident that the law always listen to our prayer let us bring our prayer and persecution to the lord for this local church that the prayer and discipline of lent may unite us more closely with god and with one another we pray lord hear our prayer for peace that god will guide
