he will to our morning mass everybody as we gather together to praise and thank god for his many gifts and so as we approach our prayer we acknowledge our sin and call upon the mercy of god may the venerable intercession of the glorious virgin mary come to our aid we pray oh lord so that fortified by her protection we may reach the mountain which is christ who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god forever and ever amen she hid him for three months when she could hide him no longer she took up a pirate basket in a in with him in pitch and putting the child in it it among the reeds on the river bank his sister stations herself at a distance to find out what would happen to him pharaohs daughter came down to the river to bathe while her maids walked along the river bank noticing the basket among the reeds she sent her handmade to fetch it on opening it she looked and lo there was a baby boy crying she was moved with pity for him and said it is one of the hebrews children then his sister asked pharaoh's daughter shall i go and call one of the hebrew women to nurse the child for you yes do so she answered so the maid went and called the child's own mother faroes daughter said to her take this child and nurse it for me and i will repay you the woman therefore took the child and nursed it when the child grew she brought him to faroes daughter who adopted him as her son and called him moses for she said i drew him out of the water on one occasion after moses had grown up when he visited his kinsman and witnessed their forced labor he striking hebrew one of his own kinsman looking about and seeing no one he slew the egyptian and hid him in the sand the next day he went out again and now two hebrews were fighting so he asked the culprit why are you striking your fellow hebrew but the culprit replied who has appointed you ruler and judge over us are you thinking of killing me as you killed the egyptian then mosts became afraid and thought the affair must certainly be known pharaoh to heard of the affair a lord for the time of your favor oh god in your great kindness answer me with your constant help turn lead and you will live but i am afflicted and in pain let your saving help so god protect me i will praise the name of god in song and i will glorify him with thanksgiving the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to matthew jesus began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done since they had not repented had been done entire and side they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes ashes but i tell you it will be more tolerable for tire inside on the day of judgment than for you and as for you comparing them will you be exalted to heaven you will go down to the nether world for if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in sodom it would have remained until this day but i tell you it will be more tolerable for it will be more tolerable for the land of sodom on the day of judgment than it was for you the gospel of the lord if we think we're waiting for a greater gift from god than the gift of jesus then we better think again this wonderful gift of the son of god who came into the world to bring redemption is a gift that is a priceless treasure for us at least that's the message that we have anatomies gospel today and so we look at the people who lived in the time of jesus and maybe we realize that it's not so much that they rejected him but that it was their inability to be able to reform their lives repentance and reformation is really about the message that jews us came to bring to the people we spend a moment before the eucharist the glitter g every day perhaps maybe except during some of the sundays of easter but every day when we gather together acknowledge before ourselves and one another and before the lord all of our singles our shortcomings in a way it's a form of repentance when we approach the sacrament of reconciliation when we know that our hearts are heavy because of the bad choices that we've made in life we approach repentance the church gives us an entire season during lent when in focus upon focuses upon reformation and repent some number of years ago pope francis gave us an entire year a year of mercy where catholics christian people really around the world were encouraged to seek forgiveness and to offer forgiveness from other people a time of repentance so it's not rejecting jesus but it was an inability to reform and as we gather together in the lord's presence and as we experience our own my brothers and sisters inspired by the love of god we turn to our father and ask that he hear the prayers that we offer for the church and the world for all who are members of the body of christ that we may through our careful use and preservation of all of god's resources let us pray to the lord for the innocent who are suffering the effects of uprisings and war that they will
