Oh! Christ, sometime we get so busy in life that we forget to pray
unless there is an emergency.
Please Lord, give us the grace to set aside a time everday to go
to our prayer room and give You praise and glory.
Let us be intercessors for others, and realize all the good we
could do for them, through You, by our prayers.
Let us see that all people are our brothers and sisters, and that
we have an obligation to pray for them.
Let us also pray the news so that those who do harm to others
will be saved through our intercessions and Your love.
Thank You, Jesus, for making us part of Your glorious plan.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday MONEY TALKS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/8/2009
"This poor widow contributed more than all the others." —Mark 12:43
The widow of Zarephath and the widow in today's Gospel reading
both gave from their want, all that they "had to live on" (Mk 12:44;
1 Kgs 17:13ff). When Zacchaeus accepted salvation, he gave half
his possessions to the poor (Lk 19:8). Barnabas donated his farm
to the Church (Acts 4:37). It became so common to do this that
Ananias and Sapphira lied and said they gave to the Church all the
money they received from selling a piece of property, although
they had only given most of it (Acts 5:2-3). Paul had to caution the
Macedonians about over-giving! (2 Cor 8:13) They gave to the point
of impoverishing themselves. We don't seem to have this problem
today.
Christians today seem light-years away from the financial giving we
see in the Bible, especially in the New Testament. Many Christians
aren't even tithing, and tithing is B.C. It's 2,000 years behind the
times. We're a few light-years behind New Testament Christianity.
We must repent of watering down our faith. We have become
lukewarm not only in financial matters, but also in many other
areas (Rv 3:16). We must repent, even if we're the first one or the
only one to repent.

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
"A PRIMARY AND UNAVOIDABLE DUTY"
Proclamation of the Gospel must be for all of us, as it was
for the Apostle Paul, a primary and unavoidable duty.
"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.
