This week, Lord, You showed us Your most precious Sacred Heart
by appearing to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
You told us to adore You by meditating on Your heart of love,
and by having Your heart displayed prominently in our homes.
Please Lord, help all people to realize what a blessing it is
to be able to look at Your Sacred Heart, and see the fire of
love, the crown of thorns, and the blood of forgiveness,
coming from Your heart.
Let us feel the peace of Your love, and help us to get the
continued graces that we need to face all the challenges
of life. Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=10/11/2009
"How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of
God!" —Mark 10:23
"You cannot give yourself to God and money" (Mt 6:24).
Although few admit it, money is God's greatest
competition, that thing which we are most tempted to
put ahead of God. Money is the means to pleasure and a
life of self-satisfaction. Money facilitates worship
of self.
Consequently, many young rich men and women continue
to walk sadly away from Jesus (Mk 10:22). Like Judas,
many commonly sell Jesus for a few pieces of silver
(Mt 26:15) or even for the petty pleasures that money
can buy. For example, Esau sold out for just a bowl of
red soup (Gn 25:30-31).
"The love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Tm 6:10).
It all comes down to God or money, lifestyle, and self.
We must consider "riches nothing in comparison" with God
(Wis 7:8) and consider God's word "more precious than
thousands of gold and silver pieces" (Ps 119:72). We
must "put aside everything to follow" Jesus (Mk 10:28).

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2009-08.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
ST. JOHN VIANNEY
"DILIGENT MINISTRY"
Another fundamental characteristic of this extraordinary
priestly figure was his diligent ministry of confession...
St. John Mary Vianney ... distinguished himself as an
excellent, tireless confessor and spiritual director.
"THE BEAUTY OF THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE"
He did his utmost with preaching and persuasive advance
to help his parishioners rediscover the meaning and beauty
of the sacrament of Penance, presenting it as an inherent
demand of the Eucharistic presence.
"HUMBLE FAITHFULNESS"
..What makes the Cure of Ars holy was his humble
faithfulness to the mission to which God had called him;
it was his constant abandonment, full of trust, to the
hands of divine Providence... He won over even the most
refractory souls by communicating to them what he himself
lived deeply, namely, his friendship with Christ.
