Jesus, help us to realize the make up of our eternal home.
Let us see the saints as inspirations of how to be willing to
live this life in honor and glory of You.
Let us see that You have a plan for all of us that will work
out perfectly.
Let us see in our minds eye how it must look in heaven with
all the saints praising and absolutely loving our triune God.
Let us recommit our lives to praying for all the people who
are still being purified in purgatory, especially those who
have no one to pray for them.
Let us realize that we are the eternal family of God.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday HEAVEN SOON
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/1/2009
"I saw before me a huge crowd which no one could count from
every nation and race, people and tongue. They stood before
the throne and the Lamb." —Revelation 7:9
We know that later we shall be like Jesus. "We shall see Him as
He is" (1 Jn 3:2). After surviving the great period of trial (Rv 7:14),
we will stand "before the throne and the Lamb, dressed in long
white robes and holding palm branches" in our hands (Rv 7:9).
We shall celebrate the ultimate family reunion and be perfectly
happy forever, for our "reward is great in heaven" (Mt 5:12).
Already many have gone before us and share in the perfect
happiness of heaven. It won't be very long before we join them.
This sure hope of heavenly happiness is so overwhelmingly
wonderful that we keep ourselves pure as Jesus is pure (1 Jn 3:3),
live a life of total commitment to the Lord, "consider the
sufferings of the present to be as nothing" (Rm 8:18), face death
fearlessly, make disciples of all nations (Mt 28:19), have peace
under any circumstances (see Phil 4:7), and rejoice in the Lord
always (Phil 4:4).
We are thrilled (to put it mildly) about the eternal happiness of
heaven. We are even more excited about the One Who made it
all possible, Jesus Christ. We cry out "in a loud voice, 'Salvation
is from our God, Who is seated on the throne, and from the
Lamb!' " (Rv 7:10)
Monday THERE'S A PLACE FOR US

MARY—WHO IS SHE IN GOD'S PLAN?
"When the designated time had come, God sent forth His Son
born of a woman." —Galatians 4:4
Catholics and the Orthodox maintain Mary is the most important
human being in God's plan, except for her Son, the God-Man,
Jesus. Others think that by honoring Mary we take away from
the worship of Jesus. However, Catholics and the Orthodox say
Mary will lead a person to Jesus, just as all good Christians try
to lead their

Dear Mary and all of the Angels and Saints, I'm lost. Please
pray for Rob to come back to me. I know he has free will, and
if he truly wants to come back, he will. I pray for intercession
from you to Jesus Christ, to go to Rob and enter his heart and
implore him to give me another chance. I pray every day, with
faith. I don't know what else I can do but place my faith in
God to help. Help me, I am so sad. My life has changed since
he left. I ask this most humbly through Jesus Christ Our Lord,
Amen

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
PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
I ... ask all Catholics to pray to the Holy Spirit for an
increase in the Church's passion for her mission to
spread the Kingdom of God and to support missionaries
and Christian communities involved in mission, in the
front line, often in situations of hostility and persecution.
"DEEPER AWARENESS"
I turn ... to you ... to encourage in each one of you a
deeper awareness of Christ's missionary mandate to
"make disciples of all peoples" (Mt 28:19) in the footsteps
of St. Paul.
"THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL"
The goal of the Church's mission is to illumine all peoples
with the light of the Gospel as they journey through history
towards God, so that in Him they may reach their full
potential and fulfillment.
