00:00In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Lord be with you.
00:20So dear friends, let us come before God as we are.
00:24Let us acknowledge our human frailties, our weaknesses.
00:28The areas, the moments, situations that we fail to love in love.
00:35But most importantly, let us acknowledge the merciful heart of God for us.
00:43You are sent to heal the contrite of heart. Lord, have mercy.
00:49You came to call sinners. Christ, have mercy.
00:54You are seated at the right hand of the Father.
00:58To intercede for us.
01:00Lord, have mercy.
01:03May Almighty God have mercy on us.
01:06Forgive us our sins.
01:07And lead us into life everlasting.
01:11Let us pray.
01:12O God, who calls the minds of the faithful to unite in single purpose, grant your people to love what you command and to desire what you promise.
01:30That amid the uncertainties of this world, our hearts may be fixed on that place where true gladness is found.
01:44True Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
01:53The Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
01:59Reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians.
02:02From Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the church in Thessalonica, which is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, wishing you grace and peace from the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
02:21We always mention you in our prayers and thank God for all and constantly remember before God, our Father, how you have shown your faith in action, work for love and preserve true hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
02:42We know, brothers, that God loves you, that you have been chosen, because when we brought the good news to you, it came to you not only as words, but as power and as the Holy Spirit, as utter conviction.
03:04And you observed the sort of life we lived when we were with you, which was for your instruction, since it was from you that the word of the Lord started to spread, and not only throughout Macedonia, for the news of the faith in God has spread everywhere.
03:29We do not tell other people about it, other people tell us how we started the work among you, how you broke the idolatry when you were converted to God and became servants of the real living God.
03:47And how are you now waiting for Jesus, his son, whom he raised from the dead, and to come from heaven to save us from the tribulation which is coming?

04:45Your response.
04:45The Lord takes delight in his people.

05:10My sheep listen to my voice, says the Lord.
05:14I know them, and they follow me.
05:16Alleluia.
05:19The Lord be with you.
05:21A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
05:24Glory to you, O Lord.
05:26Jesus said,
05:29I'll ask for you, scribes and Pharisees.
05:33You, hypocrites.
05:35You who shut up the kingdom of heaven in men's faces.
05:41Neither going in yourself, nor allowing others to go in who want to.
05:46I'll ask for you, scribes and Pharisees.
05:50You, hypocrites.
05:52You who travel over sea and land to make a single proselyte.
05:59And when you have him, you make him twice as fit for hell as you are.
06:04I'll ask for you, blind guides.
06:09You who say, if man swears by the temple, it has no force.
06:16But if man swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound.
06:21Fools and blinds.
06:24For which of the greater worth?
06:26The gold or the temple that make gold sacred?
06:30Or else, if man swears by the altar, it has no force.
06:36But if man swears by the offering that is on the altar, he is bound.
06:43You, blind man.
06:45For which is greater of worth?
06:48The offering or the altar that makes offering sacred?
06:53Therefore, when man swears by the altar,
06:57He is swearing by that and by everything on it.
07:03And when a man swears by the temple,
07:06He is swearing by that and by the one who dwells in it.
07:11When a man swears by heaven,
07:13He is swearing by the throne of God
07:15and by the one who is seated there.
07:20The Gospel of the Lord

08:24With the hope of the spirit and the red heart,
