your spirit is reading from the holy gospel according to matthew glory to you very jesus said to his disciples amen i say to you it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven again i say to you it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of god when the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished and said who then can be saved jesus looked at them and said for men this is impossible but for god all things are possible then peter said to him in reply we have given up everything and followed you what will there be for us jesus said to them amen i say to you that you have followed me in the new age when this son of man is seated on the throne of glory will yourselves sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of israel and every one who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will to jesus christ sure peter and the other apostles at different parts of their lives thought back to this event that we hear from the gospel today and they could have scratched their heads and said well i don't see what jesus was saying because they were traveling to all sorts of other places bringing the gospel inspired by the holy spirit experience the the luxury or the riches were all of the things that it's it it sounds like that they were guaranteed today was in this if they were going somewhere and they were announced as the glorious visitors and everybody came out to greet them and to to welcome them they traveled very humbly and sometimes under stealth because they were being part of the persecuted church they went to places where it was very uncomfortable for them because they were coming to places that were new to them in societies and cultures that were different with if the sole purpose of bringing the gospel to them the good news of jesus christ when they die experience exactly what jesus was talking about the glories of heaven the glories of eternal life and all of the promises came  fulfilled but they didn't see it through in their lives and because of their inspiration and because of their being filled with the holy spirit somehow or other i think they were ok with that they said well we know what is awaiting us and we were sharing that the words of jesus with people so that it can be waiting for them also and we you and i and those who are listening to us and seeing us were the recipients of that great missionary work of the early church of the of the apostles and and later on to the missionary preachers of the gospel to all sorts of cultures and what jesus said to to us we honor the words of the gospel we accept aboard into our hearts we make sure that we try to live the way he wants us to live in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit  hospitalized especially for our good friend jim o'connor that god bless him and in his operation we prayed to the
