Jesus, you told us that You were the way, the truth
and the light.
Help us to come to the desire to follow You.
Bring us into a union of communion with You.
Lift us out of our fear and stress, and let us truly
become disciples of Yours.
Help us to let go of this world, and realize that this
world will pass away, but You and heaven will never pass away.
Let us see You in the breaking of the bread, and truly
realize that You are truly present in the consecrated bread
and blood.
Set us on fire with love of You, the Triune God, give us
internal peace. Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "ENOUGH" (Lk 22:38)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/5/2009
"My grace is enough for you." —2 Corinthians 12:9
Alleluia! Today is Resurrection day, the weekly celebration of
that first Easter morning when Jesus rose from the tomb,
triumphed over sin and death, and made all things new for us.
Today is a day of unity, when believers from all over this
earth gather to worship almighty God, listen to His living,
all-powerful word, and receive the Bread of Life, Jesus Himself.
Today we learn again that God loves us so much that He can
never give us enough of His blessings. Alleluia!
How wonderful is God's plan for this day! How can it be that
people will walk away from God's house today saying disgustedly,
"I've had enough of this church," rather than, "Your grace is
enough for me"? The difference is revealed in today's psalm
response. When our eyes are fixed on Jesus as Lord (Ps 123:2;
Heb 12:2) in a spirit of humility, then we are opened to His
mercy and grace. When we focus on anything else, then God is not
enough to satisfy us; instead, He is "too much" for us (Mk 6:3)
and we turn elsewhere for satisfaction.
Today, as you observe the Lord's day in all its splendor,
"examine yourselves" (2 Cor 13:5). "What are you looking for?"
(Jn 1:38) "Are the consolations of God not enough for you?" (Jb 15:11)
Monday "FUNERAL-HOME FAITH"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/6/2009
"Jesus turned around and saw her and said, 'Courage, daughter!
Your faith has restored you to health.' That very moment the
woman got well." —Matthew 9:22
Tuesday TONGUE-TIED
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/7/2009
"Some people brought Him a mute who was possessed by a demon." —Matthew
9:32

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp
During the third hour, I pray… Sacred Heart of Mary intercede
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to look down upon all our priests
and give them strength profess the teaching of Your Church.
Also for Deacons Sisters and Nuns. For the souls of the
separated brethren. That the Blessed Mother Mary will intercede
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus to pour out his blood on all which
are on the verge of committing a mortal sin and they would see
the love and mercy of our Lord. For missionaries and monasteries
throughout the world. For the Sisters and Nuns that pray for us.
During this July 4th weekend all Americans remember the Freedoms
this country was founded on and our soldiers have died
protecting which includes the Freedom of Religion. God Bless
America! For the Presentation Ministries.
(K., Texas, 7/4/2009 3:17:23 PM)
Pray for my Priest and for me to be able to speak to him and for
us to make great progress in our meeting. Give us both the
strength we need and enable me to help him and be a true friend
to him that he can talk to when he needs someone, not just the
other way around. Give me courage to confess fully and ask for
forgiveness for my sins.

Peaceful death for my mother-in-law who is in the hospital dying

We lift up our prayers to You O' Lord,,,AMEN
(Anonymous, 7/3/2009 9:55:40 PM)
Please pray for me because my ultrasound result states that I
have a high probability of a blighted ovum. I am advised for
another ultasound on July 17. Please for me and my husband.
God's will be done. Thank you and God bless you all.
(E.L., Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental, Philippines, 7/3/2009
7:06:56 PM)
I'm American, but live in the UK. I moved here 5 years ago with
a controlling husband. I am in a very bad situation where my
children (one of whom is American only and not British) have
been placed into Foster Care. I have a real chance of winning
them back in our November 2nd hearing, and right now I need
prayers that the Lord will grant Katelyn the ability to speak
from her heart that she wants to be returned to her mother and
that the court will hear her. I am so sorry and I know I am a
good mother. I just desperately want my children back. Please
pray for me and my daughters. Thank you.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official teachings
of the Roman Catholic Church
NEW DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
"FUNDAMENTAL SHIFTS"
The new digital technologies are ... bringing about fundamental
shifts in patterns of communication and human relationships.
"AT HOME IN A DIGITAL WORLD"
These changes are particularly evident among those young people
who have grown up with the new technologies and are at home in
a digital world ...
"TRULY A GIFT"
These technologies are truly a gift to humanity and we must
endeavor to ensure that the benefits they offer are put at the
service of all human individual and communities, especially
those who are most disadvantaged and vulnerable.
