Jesus, it is good for us to pray for all those who have
died and gone before us.
Give us the inspiration to pray especially for those in
purgatory who have no one to pray for them.
Let us be aware that those in purgatory depend on
us to get them into the glory of heaven through our
prayers, masses, and the charitable acts that we do
for there release.
Jesus, continue to grace us to understand that our
brothers and sisters who have gone before us have
changed into eternal beings that are now in the
communion of saints forever and ever.
Amen and Amen
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

"Jesus asked him, 'What do you want Me to do
for you?' " —Mark 10:51
One of Jesus' favorite questions is: "What do you
want?" (Mk 10:51; Mt 20:21; Jn 5:6) Many times we
don't know what we want, and Jesus challenges
us to clarify this.
Often we want things which are incompatible. We
want to sin and still have a loving relationship with
the Lord. We want to "do our own thing" and still
be free. We want both selfishness and happiness.
If we face reality, we see that these things are
incompatible. Therefore, we must decide what we
want most and reject the other "wants."
Another problem in deciding what we want is
denial. We see this especially with alcoholism and
other addictive behavior. But all sin produces some
denial. In denial, we will not admit our true needs.
This prevents us from wanting these needs fulfilled.
For example, if sinners deny their sin, they'll not
want forgiveness. If the spiritually blind deny their
blindness, they'll not want sight. If the enslaved
deny their slavery, they'll not want freedom. We
can even deny our denial.
Therefore, we must repent, face reality, and come
out of denial. Now, we can answer Jesus'
question: "What do you want Me to do for you?"

Lord please call more and more friars refined and purified
to join the paths of St. Francis, St. Benedict and St. Pio.
Lord chose them right now. Let new moms be conceived
with the souls of Thy warriors. Let carrying moms know
that they are carrying the soul which Thou hast send forth.
Lord Thou Kingdom need come and Thou will shall always
prevail. Mother Mary and St. Joseph please chose me as
thou lil child and embrace me in Thy love as I yearn for
parental love which I was devoid of right from my
childhood days. Thank you Jesus. Praise you Jesus.

Lord my God I pray for the barren wombs to become
fruitful, for curses to be reversed at once, for souls in
purgatory to enter your kingdom, for family trees to be
healed, for the worried to find joy, for the lost to find
what they are looking for, for the homeless to find home,
for the distressed to be comforted, for sinners to come
back to your flock, for the ordained in your name to be
faithful, for orphans & destitutes to find asylum, for
abortions to be stopped, for evil to be cast into hell
forever, for diseases to be cured, for the jobless to get a
job, for the old ones to be taken care of, for carrying
moms to be protected, for infants and toddlers to be
assisted by powerful angels and we ask this to happen
at once in the mighty and powerful name of my Lord
Jesus Christ who lives and reigns forever and ever.
(Anonymous, 10/23/2009 11:32:43 PM)

Lord, my life is Thou gift and I shall obey you all my life
for Thou seeketh the same. I also remember my brethren
without a job and in need to support their families. Lord,
please hearken to their voice and let them be blessed at
once. Praise you Jesus, Thank you Jesus.Lord, my God,
my Father, I thank Thee for the family and all loved ones
you've blessed me with. Lord let their paths be guided by
you and let them find you in all that they do.

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
THE CHURCH AND MISSION
"TRANSFORM THE WORLD"
The Church wishes to transform the world through
the proclamation of the Gospel of love, "that can
always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the
courage needed to keep living and working ... and in
this way .... cause the light of God to enter into the
world" (Deus Caritas Est, 39)
RENEWED COMMITMENT
The mission of the Church ... is to call all peoples to
the salvation accomplished by God through His
incarnate Son. It is therefore necessary to renew
our commitment to proclaiming the Gospel, which
is a leaven of freedom and progress, brotherhood,
unity and peace.
"EVER MORE URGENT"
I would "confirm once more that the task of
evangelizing all people constitutes the essential
mission of the Church" (Evangelii Nuntiandi, 14), a
duty and a mission which the widespread and
profound changes in present- day society render
ever more urgent. At stake is the eternal salvation
of persons, the goal and fulfillment of human
history and the universe.
