and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacredness ready for the letter of st paul to the collage brothers and sisters if you were raised with christ seek what is above where christ a seat at the right hand of god think of what is above so put to death then the parts of you that are earthly immorality impurity passion evil desire and the greed that is idolatry because of these the wrath of god is coming upon the disobedient by the you to once conducted yourselves when you lived in that way but now you must put them all away anger fury malice slander and obscene language out of your mouths stop lying to one another since you have taken up the old self with its practices and have put on the new self which is being renewed for knowledge in the image of its creator here there is not rican jew circumcision and uncircumcision barbarian scythian slave free but christ is all and in all the word of the lord thanks god your kingdom and speak of your might the lawyer is passionate or are all his works making known to man your my in the glorious splendor of your kingdom your kingdom is a kingdom for all ages and your dementia and doors to all generations the lord is compassionate for all his wor well of you their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way the gospel of the lord certainly today for new yorkers is is more poignant i think than for americans in other parts of the of the country for people of other countries who are not here for those who don't like us for whatever reason as a nation but today we remember a number of things many of us will probably remember exactly where we were on september  say two thousand and one when everything happened but the one thing that we are so aware of is everything changed in that on that day the whole way our  transportation our civilization our trusting of others is and is involved in our daily actions change because of what happened in the terror and the terrible loss of life on that day and that only on that day but even even still now we have men and women who because of their involvement in trying and looking for bodies and trying to help in the cleanup  the ground zero were affected health wise probably most of them had no expectation that that was going to happen but since that day in the eighteen years so many have died because of what happened on that day but we have to say as we heard st paul talking about in the st reading today and so no matter what we feel about the events that happened on the say so many years ago we have to understand that god calls us not to look back  anger but to look forward in hope so that someday we may have peace again someday we may understand that the power of god is much more powerful than the power of those who  others for whatever reasons whether it's politics or religion or whatever so today we ask the lord to give us strength so that we be men and women of faith and hope that we the people of charity that we be those who died on september th two thousand and one and we pray for those who died subsequently because of what happened that day that god give them the rewards of their goodness we pray to the lord lord he our prayer we pray for american military throughout the world specially in afghanistan who are in harm's way that god strengthen them and bring them home soon we pray to the lord or to hear our prayer we pray for our families we may love our families more deeply thinking of the fact of so many people on this day were not able to show their love for their families as we prayed to the lord lord hear our prayer for those who work for the harris the goodness of their lives may overcome the evil of others we prayed to the lord lord hear our prayer and in the silence of our own hearts let each of us add our own particular attention we pray to the lord or hear our prayer or go to our god we ask you to listen to our prayers we bring them to you in the name of jesus our brother and savior was with you was god
