9:36
Lord this is the people belongs to see
9:39
your face
9:57
the Lord be with you
9:59
a reading from the holy Gospel According
10:01
to Saint Luke
10:03
Jesus said to the crowds when you see a
10:07
cloud rising in the west you say
10:10
immediately that it is going to rain and
10:12
so it does and when you notice that the
10:14
wind is blowing from the south you say
10:17
that it is going to be hot and so it is
10:20
you Hypocrites you know how to interpret
10:23
the appearance of the earth and the sky
10:25
why do you not know how to interpret the
10:29
present time
10:30
why do you not judge for yourselves what
10:33
is right
10:34
if you are to go with your opponent
10:36
before a magistrate make an effort to
10:38
settle the matter on your way otherwise
10:41
your opponent will turn you over to the
10:43
judge and the judge hand you over to the
10:45
constable and the Constable throw you
10:47
into prison
10:48
I say to you you will not be released
10:51
until you have paid the last penny
10:54
the gospel of the Lord
10:59
thankfully most of us here are close
11:01
enough to the land and have enough
11:02
experience where we can relate pretty
11:04
intensely with what the Lord has to say
11:07
and of course we always have the Weather
11:08
Channel and all that kind of fun stuff
11:10
to help us but there is a profound
11:12
nugget of wisdom to be had because the
11:16
Lord is basically saying to people look
11:18
you have the ability to comprehend
11:20
what's going on and yet you're ignoring
11:22
big obvious things and this is something
11:25
that applies across the generations to
11:28
every group because all of us as human
11:30
beings have this part of ourselves where
11:33
we say I want this or that or the other
11:36
to be true I want this or that or the
11:40
other to be the actual case of reality
11:43
and of course we have all kinds of fun
11:45
psychological terms for it my favorite
11:46
is the Johari window my favorite of all
11:49
names for ridiculous psychological ideas
11:51
but we all have these areas where we say
11:54
I just desperately want something which
11:57
is not true to be true and the Lord word
11:59
is basically calling that out in us and
12:02
saying listen we need to be able if
12:04
we're going to be Christians to
12:06
recognize what's going on as it is we
12:09
can't pretend we can't delude ourselves
12:11
we can't say gosh I really want this or
12:14
that to be the case and of course that
12:16
applies across a whole spectrum of ideas
12:18
in the world we might say gosh I really
12:21
want the kind of political correctness
12:24
woke whatever word we want to use I
12:26
really want that to be the case for any
12:28
number of reasons but it's not or we
12:31
might look and say gosh I really want
12:33
Jesus's teaching to be different because
12:35
this person over there who is divorced
12:37
and remarried and has not sought an
12:39
annulment in the church you know I just
12:41
they're sweet person they're a wonderful
12:43
sweetheart of a person and yet the
12:45
Lord's teaching doesn't change because
12:47
someone is a sweetheart of a person or
12:49
we may look at any number of other
12:51
issues that make us uncomfortable even
12:53
to get into and say gosh these are
12:55
things that our Lord or our lady has
12:58
been incredibly clear about I mean I
13:00
look at Fatima which we just celebrated
13:01
the anniversary of a few days ago look
13:04
at all the different things where our
13:06
lady said specifically this or that or
13:09
the other are are bad and we need to get
13:12
away from them we need to pray the
13:14
rosary we need to say that you do these
13:15
penances and yet we we kind of look
13:18
around at whether it's it's ourselves or
13:20
whether it's our clergy or whether it's
13:22
our Bishops and and Pope saying things
13:25
that are inconsistent with that and we
13:27
say but it makes it's just easier for me
13:30
if we say everything is fine and the
13:32
world is going okay and yet we have the
13:35
Lord tell call us out in Luke and say
13:37
listen we're not stupid we know when
13:41
someone says something that is a
13:42
bald-faced lie and contrary to scripture
13:44
so what do we do about that what is our
13:48
response to that we know for example
13:50
what's going on in the in the broader
13:52
political sphere about being gaslighting
13:54
right people who tell us something is
13:56
not true and then call us out for not
13:58
believing that which which is not true
14:00
and at a certain point we have to stop
14:02
and ask ourselves you know am I allowing
14:04
what I wish were the case
14:07
to in my own mind become synonymous with
14:10
the case and it's an incredibly
14:12
important and challenging phrase because
14:15
in the world in which we live truth is
14:18
more and more and more a radical and
14:21
exceptional thing we live in a world of
14:23
constant lies and deception I mean in
14:26
every direction and more and more the
14:28
Lord looks at us and says Embrace
14:30
reality because Jesus is the way the
14:35
truth and the life and if we heave to
14:38
the truth then regardless
14:40
regardless of how easy or hard that is
14:43
to swallow there is going to be
14:45
incredible value to be had there the
14:48
Lord is always going to be in the truth
14:49
even if it's sometimes difficult I mean
14:52
we think back to the time of Galileo
14:54
where the pope was struggling to
14:56
understand big scientific breakthroughs
14:58
and yet we know that the truth is the
15:01
truth whether we're talking about
15:02
scientific truth or mathematical truth
15:04
or moral truth or human truth truth is
15:08
truth and Jesus is the truth and so we
15:11
have this incredible wonderful and
15:13
important challenge because we live in a
15:15
world that is increasingly rejected of
15:18
the idea that you can look and see a
15:21
cloud rising in the west and say it's
15:23
going to rain we live in a world that
15:24
increasingly rejects that and says I'm
15:27
going to take that out and replace that
15:29
reality with what I want to be the case
15:31
there was an economist when my favorite
15:34
Economist of all time Thomas Sewell who
15:36
said all of modernity can be understood
15:38
simply as the desire to replace that
15:40
which works with that which sounds good
15:42
that's all modernity is no matter what
15:45
aspect of it we look at and it's an
15:47
incredibly potent way of Simply
15:49
understanding today's Gospel and so it
15:52
is it does call for us for for a hard
15:55
moment to look inside and say what are
15:57
those aspects of reality around me that
16:00
I reshape and say I just really want
16:04
this to be true
16:06
and yet if I'm just looking at it
16:08
honestly and objectively it's not it's
16:12
just false and the more we can look at
16:14
those things in our own lives and in the
16:16
world around us we may not necessarily
16:18
be happier but we will definitely be
16:20
able to find the Holy Spirit at work a
16:22
great deal more easily because it is
16:24
only in the truth that we can find the
16:27
Lord the Lord does not exist in
16:29
deception and in falsity and so today we
16:32
can ask the Holy Spirit to give us that
16:33
gift that he describes as wisdom to see
16:36
that which is true and is separated from
16:39
that which is false in the name of the
16:41
father into the son and of the holy
16:42
spirit amen
16:55
blessed are you Lord God of all creation
16:58
for through your goodness we have
17:00
received the bread we offer you fruit of
17:02
the earth and work of human hands it
17:05
will become for us the bread of life
17:25
blessed are you Lord God of all creation
17:28
for your goodness we have received the
17:30
wine we offer you fruit of the vine and
17:32
work of human hands it will become our
17:35
spiritual drink
17:44
I pray my brothers and sisters that my
17:47
sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to
17:49
God the almighty father and the Lord
17:52
accept the sacrifice
17:53
to the praise and glory of his name for
17:56
our good and the good of all of his holy
17:58
church
17:59
look we pray O Lord on the offerings we
18:01
make to your majesty that whatever is
18:04
done by us in your service may be
18:07
directed Above All To Your Glory through
18:09
Christ Our Lord
18:12
the Lord be with you
18:15
lift up your hearts
18:17
let us give thanks to the Lord our God
18:21
it is truly right and just our duty and
18:24
our Salvation always and everywhere to
18:27
give you thanks father Most Holy through
18:29
your beloved Son Jesus Christ your word
18:32
through whom you made all things whom
18:35
you sent as our savior and Redeemer
18:37
incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of
18:40
the virgin
18:41
fulfilling your will and gaining for you
18:43
a holy people he stretched out his hands
18:45
as he endured his passion so as to break
18:48
the bonds of death and manifest the
18:50
resurrection and so with the angels and
18:53
all the saints we declare your glory as
18:55
with one voice we acclaim
18:58
holy holy holy Lord God of hosts Heaven
19:03
and Earth are full of your glory hosanna
19:06
in the highest blessed is he who comes
19:09
in the name of the Lord hosanna in the
19:12
highs
19:15
you are indeed holy O Lord and all you
19:18
have created rightly gives you praise
19:20
for through your son our Lord Jesus
19:22
Christ by the power and working of the
19:24
Holy Spirit you give life to all things
19:27
and make them holy and you never cease
19:30
to gather a people to yourself so that
19:32
from the rising of the sun to its
19:34
setting a pure sacrifice may be offered
19:36
to your name and therefore O Lord we
19:38
humbly implore you by The Same Spirit
19:41
graciously make holy these gifts we have
19:43
brought to you for consecration that
19:46
they may become the body and blood of
19:49
your son our Lord Jesus Christ at whose
19:51
command we celebrate these Mysteries
19:54
for on the night he was betrayed he
19:56
himself took bread and giving you thanks
19:58
he said the blessing broke the bread and
20:00
gave it to his disciples saying
20:03
take this all of you and eat of it for
20:07
this is my body which will be given up
20:10
for you
20:31
in a similar way when supper was ended
20:33
he took the chalice and giving you
20:35
things he said the blessing and gave the
20:37
Chalice to his disciples saying
20:40
take this all of you and drink from it
20:43
for this is the Chalice of My Blood the
20:47
blood of the new and eternal Covenant
20:48
which will be poured out for you and for
20:50
many for the Forgiveness of sins
20:53
do this in memory of me
21:12
the mystery of faith we Proclaim your
21:16
death O Lord and profess your
21:19
Resurrection until you come again
21:22
and therefore O Lord as we celebrate the
21:24
memorial of the saving passion of your
21:26
son his wondrous resurrection and
21:29
Ascension into heaven and as we look
21:31
forward to his second coming we offer
21:34
you in Thanksgiving this holy and Living
21:36
Sacrifice
21:38

21:40

21:46
reconcile us to yourself
21:48

21:50
body and blood of your son and filled
21:52
with his holy spirit may become one body

21:59
