in the name of the father of the son and of the holy spirit and then the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god and the communion of the holy spirit being with you all and with a reading from the book of proverbs every word of god is tested he is to shield those who take refuge in him and nothing to his words les and you will be exposed as a deceiver to things i ask of you and i them not to me before i die put falshood and lying far from me give me neither poverty nor riches provide me only with the food i need lest being full i deny you saying who is the lord or being in want i steal and profane the name of my god the word of the lord thanks be to god your word oh lord is lamp for my your word old lord indoors forever it is firm as the heavens you you were born i have i am for my being from every evil way i withhold my feet jesus summon the twelve the gave him power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases he sent him to proclaim the king of guides and to heal the sick he said to them take nothing for the welcome you when you leave the town shake the dust from your feet and testimony against them then they sent him out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news in curing diseases everywhere sometimes sometimes in life when we are given responsibility sometimes we question ourselves we say to ourselves well i don't know if i can do what someone else has done before and i think that's the case here in today's gospel where jesus caught course the twelve and he says to them all right now now you are going to do what i have done you we're going out to the towns you're going to preach to the kingdom of god we're going to cure diseases now if i were one of the twelve apostles i would kind of sit there and say to myself i don't know how this is kind of work out i don't  the power in me that jesus has i don't have the the authority in the way i speak they jesus has how can it work how can it be possible for me judas or peter ranger or whatever of the twelve that we might be thinking about how would it be possible for us to do what jesus did and i think most of them would have been a little bit skeptical that  was going to work later on in the gospel they come back to jesus rejoicing and saying how powerful and how wonderful everything worked out that they did do what he told them to do and they were able to do it  because of god's power and i think the bottom line for them was that it wasn't just them it wasn't peter and your genes and john and thomas and the others it was god's power working through them i think that's one of the things that we always have to ask ourselves and ask god for for god to give us his grace his power in our lives to overcome the temptations that the world puts right in our path so often and to give us the strength we need to live the good life that god wants us to live to be faithful to be protective of the needs of our families in a good christian sense and to say to ourselves i can do it because i have christ is part of who i am i can do it because i have his power by giving me power to do the right things the apostles might have been very skeptical but they found that when god when they led god's power work with them they were very successful the same thing with ourselves in our spiritual lives and constantly have to keep asking the lord please give me the strength and in this day to take care of my shepherd colonel golden the god bless them and guide them we pray to the board lord hear our prayer for ourselves so we do everything we can to bring
