the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit demands the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god in the communion of the holy spirit be with you all and with your spirit my sisters my brothers  the circuit of jordan with the lowlands at jericho city of ponds and as far as zero hour then the lord said to him this is the land which i sort abraham isaac and jacob that i would give to their descendants i have let you feel sure rise upon it but you shall not cross over so there in the land of moab mosts the serv lord died as the lord had said and he was buried in the ravine opposite he or in a way and of moab but to this day no one knows the place  his burial moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died yet as i is run dimmed and his figure unabated for thirty years the children of israel spirit of wisdom since moses had laid his hands upon him and so the children of israel gave him their obedience thus carrying out the lord's command to mo since then no prophet has risen in israel like moses whom the lord knew face to face he had no weak will and all the signs and wonders the lord sent him to perform in the land of egypt against pharaoh and all his servants and against all his land and for all the my and the terrifying power that moses exhibited in the sight of all israel the word of the lord thank god lest it be god who filled my soul with fire was to be  the lord be with you reading from the holy gospel according to matthew jesus said to his disciples if your brother against you go and tell him his fault between you and him alone he refuses to listen to them tell the church if he refuses to listen even to the church and treat him as you would a gentile or a tax collector him in i say to you whatever you buy and in earth shall be bound in heaven whatever you loose on yours shall be loosed in heaven again the men they say to you if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to create you shall be certainly for the people of israel the children of jacob been isaac and abraham and moses was the most important person in their history  when they left the land of egypt and they were on their way through all of those years in the desert before they got to the promised land so when they died they could have been the most disastrous thing in the world when god says we could have been the most disastrous thing in the world because here the people were he was their leader he brought them out of such a terrible situation and here he dies on them so they could have just given up hope but in fact they did because they knew that it was oh this is who was the leader but it was really god who was truly the one who was doing the work doing deeds that happened to them on their way out of slavery to freedom and so when he died they were easily able to accept joshua that we heard of today as their new leader not that he was going to take moses is place because nobody could take the place that he he would be god's messenger for them so that's one of the things that  the history of israel from that point on always tells us that it's the leader is very important but much more important is god i think the same thing is true for ourselves of we have different leaders whether politically or religiously or whatever situations we may find ourselves in but we always have to remember that that the leader is an important person but much more important is a guide much more important is our relationship with our heavenly father with the lord jesus with the holy spirit guiding us and teaching us the right way our leaders hopefully will reflect exactly what god wants doesn't happen all the time but we have always to remember that venice love ever caring ever strong always present always just you gave your only son to save us by the blood of this cross gentle jesus shepherd of peace   to your own suffering the pain involved who have been hurt in body mind and spirit by those who betrayed the trust

and grace to act with justice read wisdom into our prayers and labors granted for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you fruit of the earth and the work of human hands will
