Thus says the Lord, is this not the fast that I choose to lose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house? When you see the naked to cover them and not to hide yourself from your own kin. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly. Your vindicator shall go before you. The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer. You shall cry for help. And he will say, here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil. If you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness, and your gloom be like the noonday. The word of the Lord. 00:04:58,667 S3: Thanks be to God. 00:05:12,601 S5: Light rises in the darkness for the hour. White. 00:05:23,667 S5: Light rises in the darkness. For the upright. Gracious, merciful and righteous. 00:05:35,267 S5: It is well with a person who deals generously and land. Who conducts their affairs with justice. 00:05:48,400 S5: Light rises in the darkness for the up price. 00:05:59,567 S5: For the righteous person will never be moved. They will be remembered forever. 00:06:11,467 S5: Unafraid of evil tidings. 00:06:16,267 S5: Their heart is firm. Secure in the Lord. 00:06:23,601 S5: Light rises in the darkness for the upright. 00:06:35,100 S5: That person's heart is steady and will not be afraid. 00:06:45,267 S5: One who has distributed freely. Who was given to the poor. Their righteousness endures forever. Their name is exalted in the. No. 00:07:03,667 S5: Light rises in the dark corners for the hour. 00:07:26,767 S4: A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians. When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear, and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the spirit and of power. So that your faith might rest not on human wisdom, but on the power of God. The word of the Lord. 00:08:12,601 S3: Thanks be to God. 00:08:25,300 S5: Alleluia. 00:08:29,267 S5: Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. 00:08:37,100 S5: Alleluia. 00:08:41,567 S5: I am the light of the world, says the Lord. Whoever follows me will have the light of life. 00:08:54,601 S5: Alleluia, 00:08:57,767 S5: Alleluia, alleluia. 00:09:13,567 S2: The Lord be with you. 00:09:14,767 S3: And with your spirit. 00:09:16,467 S2: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. Glory to you, O Lord. Jesus said to his disciples. You are the salt of the earth. But if salt has lost its taste, how can it saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before human beings, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven. The gospel of the Lord. 00:09:56,567 S3: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. 00:10:06,667 S2: What does it mean to be just. There's a lot of discussion. Rightly so. With regards to justice. So justice means to give to the other. What is their doom? As Christians, when we speak of justice, we recognise that the Word of God and the teachings of the church have been given to us to help us understand how to practise justice according to the mind of God, as revealed to us in Scripture. And that's really important because there are a lot of good, good, well-meaning people, again, but oftentimes believe they're doing works of justice, but they go against the Ten Commandments and what God has revealed to us. So instead of helping people, we end up harming them and society in general. So in order to do justice properly, to be a just man or woman, The first thing is to give God what is his due, and that means that I put God at the center of my life. That I worship him. Go to mass, I pray at home. I seek his will daily. As Jesus reveals us. He says to us, you know, seek the will of God. Those who love the will of the father, who seek his will right belong to him. So that's very important. And then the second thing, of course, is to give to our neighbor, what does there do? And yes, there's a lot of debate. The church has spent a lot of time trying to understand all of this and figure it out. And that is one of the strengths of the Catholic Church. One of the beautiful things about Christians, when you go back to the beginning and you look in the first few centuries, I remember reading a book in the seminary years ago, and it was Gustav Baade. He was the author, and he talks about how, you know, at a time when Christianity, where there were only a few Christians in Rome, and when they're there and all of a sudden the majority of the people were slaves, they didn't have human rights, unfortunately. So all this is going on. The Christians come and they're treating everybody with love and respect and with dignity. That was surprising to many of them. And because they were treated with with the respect and the love of a brother or sister, so many people ended up converting to the faith. So when you go to mass and you would be in a home because there weren't churches built at the time, so you would see the rich, the poor, and everyone in between will all be together. And of course, there were still issues at that time, but still, that was what drew many people to the faith because they came to realize, wow, so what they teach is what they live. So what they teach is also what they live. So important. So we hear the Lord speak to us and he says to his disciples, so he says to you at home, he says to me, all of us here present. He says, you're the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its taste, how can it saltiness be restored? So as Christians, well, you know, salt is used to preserve, but it's also used to, to enhance and to pull out flavor. When I first started cooking, I had the blessing. I have a blessing of my mother, who was to be a master chef. So I learned from my mom how to cook. But one of the things I had trouble with was adjusting salt. Usually everything looked really nice, but there wasn't enough salt there, so I had to learn to add more and more. So you can somebody can look good, but if it doesn't pull out the flavor, it doesn't pull out what's good, then it's really useless. And then the Lord tells us, he says, look, you're also the light of the world. So if we are bearers of God, imagine so. We're bearers of God. If we're bearers of God, which we are, why would we hide the fact that we belong to Christ when he is the only means of salvation? So should we not present our faith, be proud of who we are, not arrogant, but be proud of the fact that we belong to the Lord, that we're known by him, that we're loved by him, and therefore should we not seek his will above all things to make him known. So that's the beautiful message for us and the gospel. Jesus says, look, he's given us everything, so don't waste your vocation. He's given us your baptism like the divine life through confirmation. So an infusion of anointing of the Holy Spirit and whatever vocation we have. Right. So if we've been received holy orders, if you're married, if you're lay consecrated, whatever life vocation that you're called to, we're all called to be salt and light for the world. And it's much easier than we think. We don't have to do great things. God at times calls us to do things that we never thought in our lives we would be called to do, but he always provides us the grace to do so. But Paul tells us right in this beautiful letter to the Corinthians, and he's writing to a community that has received a superabundance of supernatural charism. So they're receiving all these gifts from the Holy Spirit. They're still struggling with sin. There's all sorts of things there. There's scandals in the community. But Paul is reminding them. He's saying to learn to trust in the Lord. So he says, know that I've come to teach. Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And I come not with a lofty speech, right? But it's with the power of the Holy Spirit. As I said earlier on during the week, that we have to learn to trust and ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Supernatural chasms are not just for the past. It's not true. It's for the present, and it's for the future. And they add salt to our words, but we have to ask God for the grace to be able to do so, to trust in these words, and by caring especially for the poor, whether it be materially or spiritually poor. We know we have family members that are struggling, people in our communities and our schools and church, wherever we are at work. Right. There's this need, there's this hunger because there's so much darkness, there's so much opinion, but there's very little truth in the world. And we we don't own the truth, but we're possessed by the truth, as Saint John Paul II used to say. And therefore we have the gift and the privilege to share it with those who have not yet encountered Jesus Christ. Let us now profess our faith. 00:16:12,968 S2: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, who is conceived by the Holy Spirit. Born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Let us bring our prayers to God, who created the earth and his fullness for the holy Catholic Church as it continues to speak out against all that would destroy human dignity. We pray to the Lord. 00:17:10,767 S3: Lord, hear our prayer. 00:17:13,100 S2: For all those in our daily TV mass prayer intentions book. We pray to the Lord. 00:17:17,567 S3: Lord, hear our prayer. 00:17:19,267 S2: As a community, we pray that all who seek meaning may place their trust in God, just as Mary and Joseph entrusted Jesus into the father's care. We pray to the Lord. 00:17:28,667 S3: Lord, hear our prayer. 00:17:32,067 S2: God of heaven and earth. You reward those with clean hands and pure hearts in our unworthiness. We bring our prayers to you through Christ our Lord. 00:17:40,000 S3: Lord. 00:17:50,767 S6: Lord we offer. If someone gives a prayer and the list of your head. The fields from which our lives. Under. 00:18:06,367 S6: The tree of earth is awarded for one reason. From the fertile soil of the world. 00:18:22,000 S6: Blessed are you the state. Are you Lord of all? 00:18:34,267 S6: Of us that are. Blessed are you. 00:18:44,567 S6: God. 00:18:50,000 S6: We. 00:18:58,300 S2: Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the Almighty Father. 00:19:03,567 S3: May the Lord bless the sacrifice of the praise. Glorious name for. 00:19:08,901 S7: The good of all his. 00:19:10,567 S3: Church. 00:19:11,701 S2: O Lord our God, who once established these created things to sustain us in our frailty. Grant, we pray, that they may become for us now the sacrament of eternal life through Christ our Lord. 00:19:22,467 S3: Amen. 00:19:25,701 S2: The Lord be with you. 00:19:26,968 S3: And with your spirit. 00:19:28,367 S2: Lift up your hearts. 00:19:29,501 S3: We lift them up to the Lord. 00:19:31,100 S2: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. 00:19:33,267 S3: It is right for us. 00:19:34,868 S2: It is truly right and just our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere, to give you thanks. Lord, Holy Father, Almighty and eternal God, through Christ our Lord. For through his Paschal mystery, he accomplished the marvelous deed by which he has freed us from the yoke of sin and death, summoning us the glory of being now called the chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for your own possession, to proclaim everywhere your mighty works. For you have called us out of darkness into your own wonderful light. And so with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the hosts and powers of heaven, we sing the hymn of your glory. As without end we acclaim. 00:20:15,000 S5: Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. 00:20:32,901 S5: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! 00:20:49,767 S2: You are indeed holy, oh Lord, the fount of all holiness make holy. Therefore these gifts. 00:20:56,467 S8: We pray by sending down your spirit upon them like the dufaux, so. 00:21:00,367 S2: That they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the time, he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion. He took bread and giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, take this, all of you, and eat of it. For this is my body which will be given up for you. 00:21:39,100 S2: In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice, and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying, take this, all of you, and drink from it. For this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me. 00:22:17,601 S2: The mystery of faith. 00:22:23,167 S5: We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection 00:22:32,601 S5: until you come again. 00:22:41,367 S2: Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray, the partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ. We may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world. Bring her to the fullness of charity. Together with Leo, our Pope and Francis our bishop and all the clergy. Remember all our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy. Welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all. We pray that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God will bless Joseph, her spouse, with the blessed apostles and all the saints who are pleased you throughout the ages. We may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify you through your Son Jesus Christ. 00:23:35,367 S2: Through him and with him and in him. Oh God Almighty father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours forever and ever. 00:23:44,267 S3: Amen.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord. We pray from every evil. Graciously grant peace in our days, that by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress. As we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. 00:24:34,367 S3: For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. 00:24:39,300 S2: Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, peace I leave you, my peace I give you.
