This week Jesus, open us up to really calling You our Lord
and God.
Give us the grace to let go of any fears and problems that
stop us from walking with You all the time.
Let that grace enter into us so strongly that we will be
driven to come and sit with You in adoration and receive
Your precious Body and Blood.
Let that grace strengthen us to continue on this journey
of life with as much peace of heart as possible.
Let us become more and more other Christs to all people,
let us die to self and so willingly give to all others.
Thank You for loving and dying for us. Amen and Amen
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday HOW TO RISE FROM THE DEAD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/28/2009
"God formed man to be imperishable; the image of His own nature
He made him." —Wisdom 2:23
The Lord wants us to rise from the dead. He will do this by His
almighty power, but we must let it be done (see Lk 1:38). We let
the Lord raise us from the dead by believing in Him. Jesus told
Jairus at the news of his daughter's death: "Fear is useless,
only believe" (Mk 5:36, our transl.). At the cemetery following
Lazarus' death, Jesus likewise said: "I am the Resurrection and
the Life: whoever believes in Me, though he should die, will
come to life" (Jn 11:25-26).
We believe Jesus not only concerning the resurrection, but in
everything. We believe Jesus' words that if we feed on His flesh
and drink His blood, we have life eternal and will be raised
from the dead (Jn 6:54). We believe that, if we die with Jesus
through baptism and daily self-denial, we will live with Jesus
forever (see 2 Tm 2:11). We believe that Jesus baptizes us in
the Holy Spirit (Mk 1:8) and we even believe that the Spirit
dwelling within us will raise us from the dead (Rm 8:11).
Our resurrection from the dead is part of our salvation in Jesus.
Therefore, resurrection is a free gift to be claimed by faith.
Let us believe in Jesus and look forward with joy to our deaths.
In Jesus, our spirits will rise immediately at our death, and our
bodies will rise on the last day when Jesus comes again (Catechism, 997).
Monday "THE DAY OF THE LORD"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/29/2009
"From now on a merited crown awaits me; on that Day the Lord,
just Judge that He is, will award it to me." —2 Timothy 4:8
Tuesday NOW OR NEVER?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/30/2009
"Lot's wife looked back, and she was turned into a pillar of
salt." —Genesis 19:26

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official teachings
of the Roman Catholic Church
RELIGIOUS VOCATIONS
"A SPECIAL GIFT OF GOD"
The vocation to the priesthood and to the consecrated life
constitutes a special gift of God which becomes part of the
great plan of love and salvation that God has for every man
and woman and for the whole of humanity.
"GIVE THANKS TO GOD"
.Responding to the Lord's call and docile to the movement
of the Holy Spirit,... countless ranks of priest and consecrated
persons placed themselves totally at the service of the Gospel
in the Church. Let us give thanks to God, because even today
He continues to call together workers into His vineyard
"UNSHAKABLE CERTITUDE"
While it is undoubtedly true that a worrisome shortage of
priests is evident in some regions of the world, and that the
Church encounters difficulties and obstacles along the way,
we are sustained by the unshakable certitude that the one
who firmly guides her in the pathways of time towards the
definitive fulfillment of the Kingdom is He, the Lord, Who freely
chooses persons of every culture and of every age and invites
them to follow Him according to the mysterious plans of His
merciful love.
