Jesus, help us to truly realize, that in You, there is no
ordinary time.
Everyday, Lord, is a gift, and a call.
A gift, Lord, that says we are loved, and a call that
motivates us to help others.
Jesus, let us not feel ordinary, but feel as we really
are, special in You.
Lord Jesus, let us see that not only are we special,
but all people are special, and deserve our help and love.
Lord, let our light shine in the midst of all the turmoil,
and let us be examples of steady rock in trusting You.
Father, let our homes be filled with Your peace, and let
us truly be at peace in our hearts.
Jesus, let us help lift the darkness for those who have
no peace. Amen and Amen
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SLEEPY HEAD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/18/2009
"Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord where the
ark of God was." —1 Samuel 3:3
Will you sleep through 2009 or will you wake up and answer
God's call? Many people, even religious people, will tell you
to "go back to sleep" (1 Sm 3:5, 6). Instead, you should turn
to God and say: "Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening" (1 Sm 3:9).
2009 can be the greatest year of your life. "Eye has not seen,
ear has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man
what God has prepared for those who love Him" (1 Cor 2:9).
Some of those reading this will die and go to heaven this year.
Others may be just moments from hell unless they repent and
turn to Jesus. Some will make the most important decisions
and face the greatest challenges of their lives in 2009.
If we knew what will happen internationally in 2009, we would
immediately fall on our knees in prayer. "That is why we read:
'Awake, O sleeper, arise from the dead, and Christ will give
you light.' Keep careful watch over your conduct. Do not act
like fools, but like thoughtful men. Make the most of the
present opportunity, for these are evil days. Do not continue
in ignorance, but try to discern the will of the Lord" (Eph 5:14-17).

"People came to Jesus with the objection, 'Why do John's
disciples and those of the Pharisees fast while Yours do not?' " —Mark
2:18
Tuesday ANCHOR-MAN
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/20/2009
"Like a sure and firm anchor, that hope extends beyond the
veil through which Jesus, our Forerunner, has entered on
our behalf." —Hebrews 6:19-20

Inspired teaching on the daily Scripture readings of the
Catholic Church by Fr. Al Lauer
Best of Daily Bread Radio Program
http://www.presentationministries.com/dbread/dbread.asp
________________________________________________
Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
RICH IN FAITH
To seek this smile of the Virgin Mary ... is the aspiration ,,,
of those who are "the richest of the people" (Ps 44:13). "The
richest" ... in the order of faith, those who have attained the
highest degree of spiritual maturity and know precisely how
to acknowledge their weakness and their poverty before God.
"JOY AND GLORY"
Today Mary dwells in the joy and the glory of the Resurrection.
The tears shed at the foot of the Cross have been transformed
into a smile which nothing can wipe away, even as her
maternal compassion towards us remains unchanged.
"AN UNSHAKABLE CONFIDENCE"
The intervention of the Virgin Mary in offering succor
throughout history ... does not cease to call forth, in the
people of God, an unshakable confidence in her. the
Memorare prayer expresses this sentiment very well.
