Responsorial response is Lord give success to the work of our hands before the mountains were begotten and the earth and the 4 brookforest from Everlasting to Everlasting you are God lord gives us to the work of our hands back to dust saying return Children of Men for a thousand years in your sight or is yesterday now that it is past or as a watch of the night in the work of our hands teacher to number our days aright that we may gain wisdom of heart return O Lord how long have pity on your servants Lawrence gives to the work of our hands Phyllis at Daybreak with your kindness that we met shout for joy and gladness all our days let your work be seen by your servants and Your Glory by their children Lord gives Cinema World in our hands alleluia alleluia the Lord day by day God our Salvation who Bears our burdens the Lord be with you a reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Jesus came to his native place and talk to people in their synagogue they were astonished and said where did this man gay such wisdom and why is he not The Carpenter's son is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James Joseph Simon and Judas sisters are with us where did this man get all this and they took offense at him but Jesus said to them a prophet is not without honor except in his knee play in his own house and he did not work many mighty Deeds there because of their lack of faith the gospel of the Lord praise the Lord Jesus Christ but your friends probably the question that you're asked more frequently than any other what do you want to do when you grow up and that question in other words is what work do you want to do what job do you want to have and it's the people in our lives that Inspire us and we want to look up to them and perhaps to follow in their footsteps and do the work that they do perhaps you want to work as your mom perhaps you want that the job that your dad is doing perhaps it's your teeth in school that inspires you or maybe it could be a random person that you see and say wow maybe I could do that too I remember when I was very very little my parents would bring me to Pizzeria because of course Pizza is my favorite food like many of you and I will see the person behind the counter making the pizza and I would just be amazed by it how responded though twirled it in the air how he put the cheese on the dough sprinkling heads and I would tell my parents that's what I want to do when I grow up I want to make pizzas I was always impressed also as I was getting ready for school in the morning how the garbage we put out in front of our home would disappear because these men with their garbage trucks to drive by and collect the garbage and these garbage trucks would be big massive and they would make all this garbage go away and I would say wow I want to drive one of these truck and operate it I would see police officers and firemen driving with their sirens on everyone's stopping for them said they could go first and they're speeding to an emergency I would say maybe that's what I could do when I grow up but then as I was a little older a little bit more serious I began to look at my parents and my dad is an engineer and my mom is a teacher and I loved science and math and I thought that maybe could be an engineer like my dad and in fact in high school and college for a little bit I worked with my dad as an engineer and I looked at my mom her great love of teaching and how it inspired me and also in college I talked part-time and I loved being in front of the classroom and I thought to myself maybe this is something that I could do in my life however even though I was impressed and inspired by my mom and dad and what they did what truly left the deepest impression on my heart was coming to church and seeing the work of the priest how did priests celebrate Mass how they prey how they offer the sacraments and it is there that my heart was that Russ and I came to realize that even though every job is beautiful is dignified is worthy to be done has meaning and purpose for me being a priest it is what God was calling me to be and the work that God was calling me to do are we having today's Gospel the example of Jesus he was inspired by his father st. Joseph was a carpenter and Jesus would work with Saint Joseph day in and day I said boy as a teenager and perhaps even as a young man and we have in today's Gospel the people saying is not Jesus The Carpenter's son yes but his Heavenly Father his true father was calling him to another type of work and so therefore in addition to being a carpenter Jesus also began to work of preaching up healing and of the saving Souls and that was the work that he was ultimately called to do boys and girls I encourage you on this the day of st. Joseph the Worker to think your Para your teachers and everyone else to come across for the work that they do providing for you helping you and all the people that God has placed in your life are there to help you figure out what God is calling you to do when you grow up and we see the people asking where did Jesus get such wisdom and mighty Deeds he got it through hard work I asked you and I

workers and four responders that are working extra hard during this difficult time of illness perhaps you can thank the mailman or the person delivering groceries or dinner to your home but even if you can't thank all these people for the work that they do personally you can always pray for them pray that they might have true respect and their jobs and that people might appreciate what they do you can also pray for your teachers and the faculty here of Academy of our Lady even sending them a note saying how much it means to you the hard work that they put in and these last several weeks we're time and which we have to be even more creative in the work we do and therefore so many people are relying on your prayers that they have the strength to continue their hard work and don't forget boys and girls that you're worth County whether it's your school work or your homework continue to do it at joyfully because the work that you do also is appreciated by your teachers by your parents by myself so continue to work hard the Lord be with you I'm a mighty God bless you the father and the Son and the Holy Spirits amen remain in the love and peace of Christ thanks be to God
