the world have mercy on us you take away the sins of the world receive our prayer you are seated at the right hand of the father have mercy on us for you alone are the holy one you alone are the lord you alone are the most high jesus christ with the holy spirit in the glory of god the father amen let us pray almighty ever-living god who in the abundance of your kindness surpass the merits and the desires of those who entreat you pour out your mercy upon us to pardon what conscience dreads and to give what prayer does not dare to ask through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit god for ever and ever amen a reading from the book of genesis the lord god said it is not good for the man to be alone i will make a suitable partner for him so the lord god form out of the ground various wild animals and various birds onto the air and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them whatever the man called each of them would be its name the man gave names to all the cattle all the birds of the air and all wild animals but none prove to be a suitable partner for the man so the lord god cast a deep sleep on the man and while he was asleep he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh the lord god then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man when he brought her to the man the man said this one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh this one shall be called women for out of her men this one has been taken that is why a man lives with father and mother and clings to his wife and the two of them become one flesh word of the lord thanks be to god may the lord bless us all the days of our lives may the lord bless us all the days of our lives bless are you who fear the lord who walk in his ways for you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork blessed shall you be and favored may the lord bless us all the days of our lives your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the recesses of your home your children like olive plants around your table may the lord bless us all the days of our lives behold those is the man blessed who fears the lord the lord bless you from zion may you see the prosperity of jerusalem all the days of your life may the lord bless us all the days of our lives may you see your children's children peace be upon israel may the lord bless us all the days of our lives a reading from the letter to the hebrews brothers and sisters he for a little while was made lower than the angels that by the grace of god he might taste death for everyone for it was fitting that he for whom and through whom all things exist in bringing many children to glory should make the leader to their salvation perfect through suffering he who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin therefore he is not ashamed to call them brothers the word of the lord thanks be to god we all stand alleluia alleluia if we love one another god remains in us and his love is brought to perfection in us alleluia alleluia the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to mark glory to you oh lord the pharisees approach jesus and ask is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife they were testing him he said to them in reply what did moses command you they replied moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her but jesus told them because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment but from the beginning of creation god made the male and female for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh so they are no longer two but one flesh therefore what god has joined together no human being must separate in the house the disciples again questioned jesus about this he said to them whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her and if she divorces her husband and marries another she commits adultery and people were bringing children to him that he might touch them but the disciples rebuked them when jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them let the children come to me do not prevent them for the kingdom of god belongs to such as these amen i say to you whoever does not accept the kingdom of god like a child will not enter it they embrace them and bless them placing his hands on them the gospel of the lord praise you lord jesus christ the problem is not just about marriage the problem is not just about priesthood the problem is fidelity the problem is faithfulness the problem is we cannot trust anymore we cannot trust anything and anybody absolutely all the time when you read news you have to verify whether it is fake or not when you buy a product giving you warranty you are not sure how long the product will last and then the story will say to you no return no exchange trust it has become very difficult to trust because even institutions are being destroyed one after another destroying the credibility of the supreme court destroying the credibility of the pope destroying the credibility of those in authority and then people in authority linked to cases of corruption bordering on plunder the question is who can we trust can we still trust can we still be faithful is there anyone who can still say i have always been faithful our generation is a generation of broken promises forgotten commitments and wounded relationships when i talk to young people they have difficulty trying to explain that it is all right that my father is not living with my mother and i have another sibling from another wife of my father our children are struggling about broken families broken relationships husbands and wives with second boyfriend and girlfriend and then people just say i don't like to get married anymore one of the painful statements i ever heard from our youth is i don't like friends anymore because they just hurt you you remember the song if i did that love i would not have cried that is the tragic reflection of our age if i have not loved i would not have cried i don't like to make friends anymore they always hurt me and even with children with babies with infants do you parents not hear them sometime say to us but you promise you promise me you will come home early we'll go to mcdo you promise you'll give me a toy car you promise you'll bring me a cell phone you promise you will give me a new tablet you promise and early in life our children are introduced to broken promises forgotten commitments and wounded and crushed relationships why should we be faithful why is fidelity important first fidelity makes you more human fidelity makes you more human if you are faithful to your commitment if you keep the promises you have made you will also become fuller as a human being in the same way that people who cheat people who lie people who live double lives people who hide so many skeletons in the closet are actually less free less happy less human that is the first reason fidelity makes you more human second fidelity makes your life heavenly to fall in love is romantic but to stay in love is mystical only by the grace of god can you stay in love romance you can have that when you fall in love first time second time falling in love but to stay in love with the same beloved with all the wrinkles and faults with all the scars with all the sins with all the imperfections to stay loving that beloved is mystical it is heavenly only by the power of god will you be able to do that that is why the lord's covenant is expressed this way i will be your god you will be my people in spite of our unfaithfulness god is faithful and when you are faithful no matter what they do to you you become a mystic because staying in love can only come from the grace of god because it cannot be only human love if it is only human love it will just be romance fidelity makes you more human fidelity makes your life heavenly and the third reason for fidelity fidelity makes your beloved beautiful fidelity makes your beloved beautiful because god is always faithful to us each time god looks at us even if we know our faults god sees the beauty in us and he can be faithful our fidelity transforms others our fidelity makes others beautiful our fidelity makes others lovable even if in their hearts they think they are not worthy that is what fidelity does and when fidelity is broken you become ugly and when commitment is broken everybody becomes ugly for you because you cannot trust anymore anyone the word of god for today is not just about divorce it is something deeper than divorce it is our capacity to be men and women of fidelity to be men and women who are faithful to be men and women who keep promises who remember commitment and who refuse to break others and wound others by their infidelity we can do it only by god i say it again to fall in love is romantic but to stay in love is mystical and only by the power of god can you stay in love stay beautiful by being faithful experience heaven and earth by being faithful see beauty around you by being faithful faithfulness is heavenly it makes all of us more beautiful i believe in one god the father almighty maker of heaven and earth of all things visible and invisible i believe in one lord jesus christ the only begotten son of god born of the father before all ages god from god light from light true god from true god begotten not made consubstantial with the father through him all things were made for us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven and by the holy spirit was incarnate of the virgin mary and became man for our sake he was crucified and their punches he suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end i believe in the holy spirit the lord the giver of life who proceeds from the father and the son who is and i look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come amen god is faithful he is our god and we are his people let us present our needs and say lord hear our prayer lord hear our prayer that the church under the leadership of both francis

betrayed and entered willingly into his 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 the mystery of faith when we eat this bread and drink the scalp we proclaim your death o lord until you come again therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death resurrection we offer you lord the bread of life and the chalice of salvation
