me will the lord your god raise up for you from among your own kin to him you shall listen this is exactly what you requested of the lord your god at oreb on the day of the assembly when you said let us not again hear the voice of the lord our god nor see this great fire anymore lest we die and the lord said to me this was well said i will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin and will put my words into his mouth he shall tell them all that i command him whoever will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name i myself will make him answer for it but if a prophet presumes to speak in my name an oracle that i have not commanded him to speak or speaks in the name of other gods he shall die the word of the lord if today if today you hear his voice if today if today you hear his voice come let us ring out our joy to the lord hail the rock who saves us let us come into his presence giving thanks let us heal him with a song of praise if today if today you hear [Music] before the god who made us for he is our god and we the people who belong to his pasture the flock that is led by his hand if today if today you hear his voice a reading from the letter of saint paul to the corinthians brothers and sisters i should like you to be free of anxieties an unmarried man is anxious about the things of the lord how he may please the lord but a married man is anxious about the things of the world how he may please his wife and he is divided an unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the lord so that she may be holy in both body and spirit a married woman on the other hand is anxious about the things of the world how she may please her husband i'm telling you this for your own benefit not to impose a restraint upon you but for the sake of propriety and adherence to the lord without distraction the word of the lord [Music] my sheep hear my voice as the lord [Music] me the lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy gospel according to mark glory then they came to capernaum and on the sabbath jesus entered the synagogue and taught the people were astonished at his teaching for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes in their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit he cried out what have you to do with us jesus of nazareth have you come to destroy us i know who you are the holy one of god jesus rebuked him and said quiet come out of him the unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him all were amazed and asked one another what is this a new teaching with authority he commands even the evil spirits and they obey him his fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of galilee the gospel of the lord praise you lord jesus christ in the time of jesus authority was something that was very clearly delineated it was a very hierarchical society and those on top had all the power and authority those on the bottom of course had very little if any but one of the things that that all human beings were vulnerable to and powerless in the face of were these unclean spirits they they could attack anybody um we might today call it you know mental illness or even just sickness of some sort um or maybe possessed by a demon but whatever it was they felt powerless in the face of it it could take over one's life and that life could very well be destroyed and and the the unclean demon held all the cards uh even if someone out of out of compassion or even thinking that he himself or she herself were powerful and would try to confront this this malady in in a certain person would themselves be contaminated because it was something that you could catch and so instead of helping the person you yourself were pulled in to the very reality of the of the evil and the uncleanliness that it it caused so that someone who was troubled by something like this uh was was ostracized was was separated from from everyone else because no one felt up to being able to confront it without themselves being made unclean terrible terrible situation for someone like that until jesus came and what was so amazing about jesus was that his teaching his words were not just words but they were actions he stood up to this unclean spirit with no fear that he himself would become unclean he came into contact with this troubling spirit in this person and he ordered it to get out shut up and get out he says and it does and this was never ever seen before no wonder it's going to cause amazement so we might not look at unclean demons or unclean spirits in exactly the same way they did in the time of jesus but we are familiar are we not with sort of those demons that can trouble us that can enter into our life and seem to take over you know i think of many of our viewers who uh because of the the pandemic had been more than normally isolated in their homes um kind of removed from from a lot of the the contact with friends and loved ones that we all need and all crave and in our isolation it's possible that we can be confronted by or troubled by some of the same demons that that troubled the people of jesus's time fear resentment nurturing hurts of the past refusing to forgive all of those can be called in a sense i think unclean spirits but we have to remember that as long as jesus is part of our life and and that happens as easily as allowing him to be part of our life because that's exactly what he wants to do he only needs our welcoming in order to do that and if he does live in us and with us he has power over all of those things we need not fear the lord is with us [Applause] so let us profess our faith in the apostles creed found on page 34 in your prayer and worship guide i believe in god the father almighty creator of heaven and earth and in jesus christ his only son our lord who was 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 to that lord and god who has authority over anything that could possibly trouble us let us offer now both our prayers and needs present here and those present in our viewers at home that religious sisters and brothers anxious about the things

up for you 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
