You, Jesus, are our shepherd, and there is nothing that we
want, except to know, love, and serve You with all of our
hearts, souls and minds.
Jesus, help us to see how special we really are in Your
eyes, and how that should help us to view all others with
that same understanding of specialness, that we all deserve.
Let us see, that as our king and lord, You call us all to
be priest, prophet and king, to all in our world.
Let us pray for the grace, to love and help, all of our
brothers and sisters, of all races and creeds.
Let us be prayer warriors, and doers for all.
Amen and Amen
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday AT THE KING'S FEET
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/23/2008
"Christ must reign until God has put all enemies under
His feet." —1 Corinthians 15:25
The Old Testament describes God's plan as making His
enemies His footstool (Ps 110:1). Reigning kings in Old
Testament days placed their feet on the prone bodies of
their enemies as a sign of bringing them to submission.
God's vanquished enemies would likewise be subject to
His will (1 Cor 15:27-28).
In the New Testament, God's enemies are described as
humbled beneath Jesus' feet (Mt 22:44). Jesus, God
Himself, died on His cross for all His enemies (Rm 5:8).
He reigns on His cross as crucified King (Jn 19:19).
We all were enemies of Christ the King as we lived in
sin (Rm 5:10). Then we came to know Jesus as Savior,
Lord, God, and King, and we repented. We came to the
foot of His cross and were shocked speechless when
we realized how much Jesus, King of the universe,
suffered out of love for us (Is 52:15). We humbled
ourselves at His crucified feet (Mt 22:44), and we fell
at His feet to worship, thank, and praise Him (Lk 17:16).
King Jesus washed our feet; now we "must wash each
other's feet" (Jn 13:14). We wash King Jesus' feet by
feeding the hungry, welcoming strangers, visiting
prisoners, and comforting the ill (Mt 25:35ff).
Have you subjected everything to King Jesus? Give
Him your all. Place "all things under His feet" (1 Cor 15:27).
Monday DYING DAY

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE ROSARY
"CONTEMPLATION AND SILENCE"
The Rosary is a school of contemplation and silence. At
first glance, it could seem a prayer that accumulates words,
therefore difficult to reconcile with the silence that is rightly
recommended for meditation and contemplation. In fact,
this cadent repetition of the Hail Mary does not disturb
inner silence but indeed both demands and nourishes it.
THE VOICE OF GOD
.. In reciting the Hail Mary, we must be careful that our
voices do not "cover" the voice of God Who always speaks
through the silence like the "still small voice" of a gentle
breeze (1 Kgs 19:12). ... How important it is to foster this
silence full of God, both in one's personal recitation and its
recitation with the community!
"RESPONSE TO THE WORD"
If it is to be a contemplative prayer, the Rosary must
always emerge from the silence of the heart as a
response to the Word, after the model of Mary's prayer.
Seen clearly, the Rosary is completely interwoven with
scriptural elements.
