inheritance which you have promised through our Lord Jesus Christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit God forever and ever amen a reading from The Book of Joshua Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at sheim and addressed them saying fear the lord and serve him completely completely and sincerely cast out the gods your father served beyond the river and in Egypt and serve the Lord if it does not please you to serve the Lord decide today whom you will serve the gods your father served beyond the river or the gods of the amorites in whose country you are dwelling as for me and my household we will serve the Lord but the people answered far be it from us to forsake the Lord for the Ser service of other gods for it was the Lord Our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt out of a state of slavery he performed those great Miracles before our very eyes and protected us along our entire journey and among all the peoples through whom we passed at our approach the Lord drove out all the peoples including the amorites who dwelt in the land therefore we also will serve the Lord for he is our God Joshua in turn said to the people you may not be able to serve the Lord for he is a holy God he is a jealous God who will not forgive your transgressions or for your sins if after the good he has done for you you forsake the Lord and serve strange Gods he will do evil to you and destroy you but the people answered Joshua we will still serve the Lord Joshua therefore said to the people you are your own witnesses that you have chosen to serve the Lord they replied we are indeed Joshua continued now therefore put away the strange gods that are among you and turn your hearts to the Lord the god of Israel then the people promised Joshua we will serve the Lord Our God and obey his voice so Joshua made a covenant with the people that day and made statutes and ordinances for them at sheim which he recorded in the book of The Law of God then he took a large Stone and set it up and under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord and Joshua said to all the people this Stone shall be our witness for it has heard all the words which the Lord spoke to us it shall be a witness against you should you you wish to deny your God then Joshua dismissed the people each to his own Heritage after these events Joshua son of nun servant of the Lord died at the age of 110 the word of the Lord thanks be to God you are my inheritance O Lord You Are My in inheritance O Lord keep me oh God for in you I take refuge I say to the Lord my Lord are you oh Lord my allotted portion and my cup you it is who hold fast my lot you are my inheritance O Lord I bless the Lord who counsels me even in the night my heart exhorts me I set the Lord Lord ever before me with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed you are my inheritance O Lord you will show me the path to life fullness of joys in your presence the delights at your right hand forever you are my inheritance O Lord [Music] Hallelujah Hallelujah hallelu Hallelujah Hallelujah hallelu Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah all together blessed are you father Lord of Heaven and Earth you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom hallelujah hallelujah hallelu hallelujah Hallelujah hallelu Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah the Lord be with you and with your spirit a reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory To You O Lord children were brought to Jesus that he might lay his hands on them and pray the disciples rebuked them but Jesus said let the children come to me and do not prevent them for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these after he placed his hands on them he went away the god Gospel of the Lord praise to you Lord Jesus Christ good afternoon everyone good afternoon father Pedro [Music] kiding aside our gospel today is one of the Gospel passages if not perhaps the only one that gives direct reference to Jesus giving importance to Children let the children come to me and do not prevent them and if I may extend this idea also to the young people in the catechism of the Council of Trent this passage is linked with infant baptism it states besides it is not to be supposed that Christ the lord would have withheld the sacrament of and Grace of baptism from Children of whom he said suffer the little CH suffer the little children and for forbid them not to come to me very clearly the idea suggests that salvation and Grace is not only a monopoly of adults or of those capable of making an Ascent of faith faith is a gift to everyone young and old as well that is why infants before they reach the Age of Reason receive the sacrament of baptism young children may not have the ability to rationally understand love in its purest form which comes with the Age of Reason but they are also capable of receiving love and are capable of receiving receiving the love of God even if they do not yet fully comprehend totally this gift in addition to the grace of baptism we must all imitate the action of Jesus welcoming and accepting not only children but every child of God though the disciples initially try to prevent the children from coming to our Lord on our part we must not we must understand that there is a real temptation to withhold the love of God from others and sometimes even to prevent others from coming to God we start to compare Our Generation with their generation as if our generation is way better than theirs my dear friends if you still believe that our generation is far better than this generation wake up that's a myth pop Pope franc reminded us about this when he said that the young people are the now of the church moreover equally true Jesus says in the gospel today let the children come to me and do not prevent them my dear friends the world we live in is no longer ours it's no longer our world it is now the world of the young people let us not prevent them from coming to our Lord by our way of by our ways of old the challenge for us is to learn to live in their world father well we do not have to do what they do but I believe it's still our responsibility at least to will to Journey with them in their world and exert greater effort to understand them better so that we can also Usher them closer to God in fact tonight at 7: in the evening there will be the regular monthly formation talk to all the members of the organizations in this Parish about the young people again it is dubbed us the story of the church in the digital age all the members of the organizations and those those among you who wish to attend are invited and welcomed it is open for all and all for free so come if you want to remain responsible in trying to understand the world of the young people Don Bosco on his part said like what the young people like and they will like what you like amen St John Bosco pray for us with

it for this is my body which will be given 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 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 the
