therefore i ask less and marietta virgin all the angels and saints and you my brothers and sisters to pray for me to the board our guide may almighty god have mercy on us forgive us our sins and bring us to  christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god for ever and ever amen reading from the book of the prophet jeremiah the people of judah and the citizens of jerusalem said come let us contrive a plot against jeremiah it will not mean the loss of instruction from the priest nor of counsel from the wise nor of messages from the prophets and so let us destroy him by his own tongue let us carefully note his every word he'd me oh lord and listen to what my adversary say must good be repaid with evil that they should dig a pit to take my life remember that i stood before you to speak in their behalf to turn away your set for me for you are my refuge into your hands i commend my spirit you will redeem me oh lord are faithful god c e o s or your minds i hear the whispers of the crowd that frighten me from every side as they consult together against me plotting to take my life save me oh lord in your kindness but my trust is in you a lord i say you are my god in your the lord be with you reading from holy gospel according to  matthew is jesus was going up to jerusalem he took his twelve disciples aside by themselves and said to them on the way behold we are going up to jerusalem and the son of man will be handed over to the chief priest of the scribes approached jesus with her sons she did him homage wishing to ask him for something he said to her what do you wish and she answered him command that these two sons of mine sit one at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom she said in reply i did not know what you were asking and you drink the chalice that i am going to drink they said to him we can you  but to sit at my right and at my left this is not mine to give it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my father when the ten heard this they became indignant at the two brothers who jesus some of them and said you know that the rulers of the gentiles lord it over them and the great ones make your authority over them felt the cello to be so among you rather whoever wishes to be great among you sh servants with who wishes to be first among you shall be your sleeve just so the son of man did not come to be served but to serve you to give his life as a ransom for many the gospel of the lord and if you are one of the disciples of jesus whom you knew that you were very special and he chose the twelve men that are called the apostles for whatever reason he had if you were i would choose you most of them we would say these are probably not the best candidates to be the foundations of a church and you just think about some of the difficulties that  had even thomas had they were jews chosen by jesus but they would not have looked good to us if we were there there i t people or something like that but what they knew for themselves was that for whatever reason they were special they were chosen to have a job which ultimately would lead to them to their deaths beloved out of the top of them but they were ward there the others the ten or the other is what is what about me aren't i important or why is he more important than i am why can i be there instead of him and of course the lord understood the human foibles of his twelve apostles and said this is what it's all about what it's all about is what i'm all about that i'm here to serve and to ultimately to save all humanity which later on we found or out out about and they found out about it but the whole concept of being there to help others to serve others that's what over and over again by his own actions he was showing the twelve and of course at first they didn't just answer today we hear the beautiful words they came not to be served but to serve and i think that's a great model for all of us sometimes we feel that if we're serving other people that's that's a good idea  it makes us less than others because we're serving them that's what the lord is thinking about for us so that when we help others whatever way it is in the family in the in the work in the neighborhood on the streets of new york if we help other people if we are doing so because we are followers of jesus that is a lesson actually that we're involved to the process of while to understand that you and i have who work for the defense of human life those who work for peace and justice that god made last year labors we pray to the word lord around prayer for american military throughout the world especially in afghanistan we pray to the board lord amen the lord be with you and with your spirit this touch your heart will lift them up to
