trembles rejoice in the Lord the mountains melt like Wax before the Lord before the Lord of all the Earth that is Proclaim his Justice and all people see his glory rejoice in the Lord are put to shame things have not all gods of prostrate before him alleluia alleluia alleluia a spirit of adoption as Sons through which we cry Abba Father alleluia alleluia the Lord be with you and with your spirit and reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory To You Lord Jesus said his disciples and praying do not Babble like the pagans who think that they will be heard because of their many words do not look like your father you need before you ask him this is how you are to pray Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come die will be done on Earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but Deliver Us from Evil if you forgive others their transgressions your heavenly father will forgive you but if you do not forgive others neither will your father forgive your transmission the gospel of the Lord praise to you Lord Jesus Christ I hope everybody out there is doing okay and and staying safe and getting ready for the summer to go to its full glory and serviceable strength time this year for everybody but other people working going to school whatever it is ever I've been changed and thank we thank you for all your cooperation for working with your teachers of virtually so that we can continue to learn and to grow but probably the most important thing for because we're not just any school but we are the Academy at a Catholic School school in which we not only can speak of God but that we focus on God and you know summertime if this was a normal year we kind of look forward to getting away from the routine and we go and we have a lot of fun some people go to Camp some people go away with their family but if it's you know it's a wonderful time of the year warm and sunny and the one thing that can always happen to us if we're not careful is we can then getting out of the routine of Our Lives we cannot maybe always remember that God is right there with us whether we're in school weather out of school and so this mask helps remind us of that we call it we doing today what's called a mass of Thanksgiving and we thankful for so many many things we still we could start with family with friends your parents but we're thankful today in a special way for the academy for a mrs. with all the teachers the staff you know and for you know this the classmates that you have that I'm sure you missed that's probably the hardest thing about the coronavirus is that we're parked my everybody and we want to be with each other that's the way God made today and so one of the things we always have to remember not only this summer but every summer and every time is that we we need to continue to pray we need to continue to say hello Snoop Dogg even as we might say hello to other people that mean a lot to us and so Jesus always encourage his Apostles to pray heat your crazy father pray to him as someone who loves you as someone who cares about you we give it and this gospel the fall of oatmeal just read the the perfect prayer the prayer that the fourth who was by Jesus himself and the thing about prayer is that it's not so much that God needs it as much as we need to do it we need to be reminded how about how God is right there and every day our lives in every part of our lives and so there's a lot of things going on as we move from this summer into the fall and the seventh grade, seventh grade is will become the the eighth grade in the leaders on campus the leaders of the of the Sioux and we look forward to that we look forward to your taking the leadership being the other children to show them the way so on so forth It's a special year for the second grade who didn't get to receive communion like you would have by now but you will be doing doesn't later it'll be in the beginning of when we get back I'm sure note it yet but it's going to get closer and for everybody who's moving up a grade we grow we learn more we in a we give thanks to our teachers one of the things that I've always aware of it as said this recently and I and another talk is that the teachers that I had in elementary school I still remember each and every one of them some more than others but they had a big impact on my life and don't always realize it right away but with thankful today for our dedicated devoted faculty who also had to change gears and get ready for the virtual learning that was taken place these last so we have lots and lots of reasons to give thanks a lots of reasons to be thankful to all God remember our God and if you get hurt if you heard the end of the reading Jesus and Facebook same for us praying is a very very important beginning but then the other part of that is even as we pray it's up to us to try to live the prayer to try to live when we Jesus teaches us and so he focuses on one of the Praises of the Our Father forgive us our trespasses which is the things we might do wrong as we forgive those who trespass against us sometimes we hurt each other or whatever and we need to have forgiveness and love in our hearts you we can talk about the different aspects of our religion about the Bible about the sacraments about the things that you learn in your various grades but it really comes down to love it comes down to forgiveness it comes out the understanding that's what God gives and that's what God asked us to give to one another so we are wish you well and we hope that you have a great great summer and to remember to pray remember those our fathers and even just to synagogue depending on on how old you are play just talk to God Like You Do any friend and let God know what's going on and how you feeling and also to his things that you need help with to be able to ask God for that so we thank God for today and we thank Jesus the gift of the sprayer and he use the score in the all father really compare to you know whatever he could have gone on and on nobody says God doesn't need lots and lots and lots of words he just needs all part and so uses the perfect prayer and we pray that many many times over the next couple months and we look forward to the return to school in the fall and hopefully time is that a more normal than they've been over the last couple months and we know that we're in this together if we work together and the academy will
