and with your spirit my sisters my brothers let a signal that your sins and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries therefore i left that harriet miers and all the angels and saints and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the north america the almighty god have mercy on us forgive us our sins and bring us you know how i lived among you the whole time from the day i st came to the province of asia i serve the lord with all humility and with the tears and trials that came to me because of the plots of the jews and i did not at all shrink from telling you what was for your benefit or from teaching you in the public or in your homes i earnestly bore witness for both jews and greeks to repentance before god and to faith in our lord jesus but now compelled by the spirit i am going to jerusalem what will happen to me there i do not know except that in one city after another the holy spirit has been warning me that imprisonment and hardship await me yet i consider life of no importance to me if only i may finish my course and the ministry that i received from the lord jesus to bear witness to the gospel of god's grace but now i know that none of you to whom i preach the kingdom during my travels will ever see my face again and so i solemnly declare to you this day that i am not responsible for the blood of any of you for i did not shrink from proclaiming to you the entire plan of god the word of the lord thanks  in it in your goodness o god you provided it for the needy singing to god ok good for the earth blessed day by day be the lord who bears our burden god who is our salvation god is a saving god for us the lord my lord controls the passageways of death sing to the lord be with you reading from the holy gospel according to john jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said father the hour is come give glory to your son so that your son may glorify you just as you gave him authority over all people so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him this is eternal life that they should know you the only true god the one whom you sent jesus christ i glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do now glorify me father with you with the glory that i had with you before the world began i revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world they belong to you and you gave them to me and they have kept your word now they know that everything you gave me is from you because the words you gave to me i have given to them and they accepted them truly understood that i came from you and that they have believed that you sent me i pray for them i do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me because they are yours and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine and i have been glorified in them and now i will no longer be in the world but they are in the world while i am coming to you the gospel of the lord one of the most important thing is that we have to realize or we should put in the back of our minds all the time is what jesus was just talking about in the gospel today that we belong to god very simple  very straightforward it's not anything that you kin git beat about or want to debate about that the life that we have is a human life obviously but it's also a life that has been blessed by g because we belong to the lord because of our baptism because of our dedication because of our belief systems we are people that do not belong to the world but we belong to god and because of that we are called to a higher standard of what we do what we say how we treat other people how we live among other people again it's not very difficult to comprehend that but sometimes we kind of say to ourselves well you know everybody is doing this very everybody is doing that so why oh why don't i just go along with them and then we forget in those instances that part of our job is to stand up for what and who we are as children of god  brothers and sisters and every now and then we just need to remind ourselves of that i think jesus today in the gospel did remind us we belong to him and his heavenly father gave us to him because of  them we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer we pray for ourselves and our families that we do everything we can to bring happiness and holiness to our families we prayed to the board lord hear our prayer we prayed for american military personnel throughout the world especially in afghanistan we prayed to the board lord hear our prayer for those who work for the defense of human life those who work for justice and for peace that god may bless to labors we my sisters and brothers pray that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to god the almighty father may the lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his aim for our good in the good of all his holy church accept the lord the prayers of your people with the sacrificial offerings that through these acts of devotedness we may pass over to the glory of heaven through christ our lord amen the lord be with you and with your spirit and given up for you which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me pray that partaking of the body and blood of christ we may be gathered into one by the holy spirit remember lord your church spread throughout the world and bring her to the phone the security together with fr also be one with him in his resurrection remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection and all who
