of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit immense the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god and the communion of the holy spirit be with you all and with your spirit my sisters my brothers let us acknowledge our and so prepare ourselves and celebrate the sacred mysteries coming from us rather our qualification comes from god who has indeed qualified us as ministers of a new covenant not of letter but of spirit for the letter brings death and the spirit gives life now if the ministry of death carved in letters on stone was so glorious to the children of israel could not look intently at the face of moses because of its glory that was going to fade how much more will the ministry of the spirit be glorious for if the ministry of condemnation was glorious the ministry of righteousness will bounce much more in glory indeed what was in d glory has come to have no glory in this respect because of the glory that surpasses it for if what was going to fade was glorious how much more will what in doors be glorious the word of the lord thank  lord be with you reading from the holy gospel according to matthew away that the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law until all things have taken place therefore whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments if he chooses others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven but whoever obeys and she chooses command this will be called gradus in the kingdom of heaven the gospel of the lord where jesus is talking about the law and the prophets today he is talking about the whole concept of the people of god the people of israel the people that god brought out of the land of slavery and gave the promised land of israel to the people of israel he would be the one who would fulfill all of what happened before people then understand that when they understood the concept that he was the they had their own idea of what the messiah would be in a certainly was a magician's was they expected him to be a general a king a ruler someone that could command people to do all sorts of things but as he says himself he was is still the messiah his jewish brothers and sisters to the rating for the messiah but we believe that in spite of the fact that he didn't fulfill the idea of so many people of what the messiah would be he in fact is the messiah and he saved us all by his life and his death by suicide rection so in spite of what the people expected him wanted from him that's the reason why so many were able to turn their backs on  him when the leaders of the people incited them to reject jesus said during the week a week or holy week was easy for people because they say well he's not the one and we probably will do better  listening to our leaders so will raise our hands and say crucify him too because he didn't do what he was in one people expected himself the lesson for ourselves and says so often in life things happen and we expect something different or better at least in our minds of for things to be but so often in fact what happens is things that are surprising to us many times work out even better than what we were expecting for the american bishops who are meeting in baltimore at this time that they may work together to help straighten out our church we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for american military personnel especially in we pray to the lord lord hear our prayer the lord our god we ask you to listen to our prayers we bring them to you in the name of jesus our brother in savior who is with you is god for ever and ever  amen less said are you lord god of all creation for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you through the earth and the work of human hands will become for us the bread of life blessed be god forever the godfather of mercies who because of the great love with which you loved us with untold goodness gave us your only begotten son grant we pray that being perfectly united with him we may offer you were the com our salvation always and everywhere to give you thanks board holy father almighty and eternal god through christ our lord for a supine the cross he gave himself up for us for the wonderful love import out 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 us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you humbly we pray that protecting the body and blood of christ we will be gathered into one by the holy spirit remember lord your church who was united with your son in the death of his may also be one with him in his remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the rest of our action and all who have died in your mercy welcomed them into the light of your face have mercy on the soul we pray that with the blessing um with each other the sign of peace lord i am not worthy of you should enter under my roof but only say the word of my soul sh
