Jesus, praise and glory to You.
Let us all praise You and love You with all of our being.
Let us realize that You truly are the King of Kings, and the
Lord of Lords.
Let us worship You with our whole being.
Let us all be on fire to not only serve You, but be willing to
tell others of our witness of how You came into our lives and
saved us.
Let our witness show Your true power and loving care.
Let us see You in the "Breaking of the Bread" that shows us
the love that came to us from the cross.
Let us all fall down in worship of You and feel that presence
of You in our hearts.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/22/2009
"His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be
taken away, His kingship shall not be destroyed." —Daniel 7:14
In heaven, the form of government in which we shall live
eternally will not be a democracy, socialism, a Communist
regime, or that of a tyrannical dictator. The kingdom of
heaven is a blend of a monarchy and a benevolent
dictatorship. Jesus is King, that is, a Monarch, and He is a
benevolent and sovereign Lord. We who believe in King
Jesus will spend eternity with a blessed Ruler (1 Tm 6:15)
Who loves us beyond measure.
Even those who have lived in a worldly monarchy or
benevolent dictatorship will hardly be able to relate to the
heavenly kingdom, for no one has even begun to imagine
what our Ruler has in store for us (1 Cor 2:9). Earthly kings
might be so lavish as to throw a seven-day party (Est 1:5);
King Jesus gives an eternal wedding feast (Rv 19:9). Earthly
rulers put to death those who try to kill them (Est A:13-14);
Lord Jesus dies for us as we kill Him (Catechism, 598). Only
a few people are allowed access to earthly rulers; everyone
has access to King Jesus (Eph 2:18; Mt 11:28; Jn 6:37).
Earthly rulers lord their authority over their subjects (Mt 20:25);
Lord Jesus comes to serve His subjects and lay down His life
out of love for us (Mt 20:28; Lk 22:27; Jn 10:15; 13:5).
Many in our secular world choose to serve gods of sex, money,
power, greed, ambition, status, or wanton pleasure-seeking.
Others are imprisoned under the rule of the harsh dictatorship
of addiction, compulsion, abuse. "Decide today whom you will
serve" (Jos 24:15). Give your life to Jesus, your King and Lord.

"Please test your servants for ten days. Give us vegetables to
eat and water to drink. Then see how we look in comparison
with the other young men who eat from the royal table." —Daniel 1:12-13
Tuesday THE LAST STAND
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/24/2009
"The stone that struck the statue became a great mountain
and filled the whole earth." —Daniel 2:35

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
LOVE AND TRUTH
"AT THE HEART"
Charity is at the heart of the Church's social doctrine. Every
responsibility and every commitment spelt out by that
doctrine is derived from charity which, according to the
teachings of Jesus, is the synthesis of the entire law. (cf. Mt 22:36-40)
(2)
TRUTH AND CHARITY
Truth needs to be sought, found, and expressed within the
"economy" of charity, but charity in its turn needs to be
understood, confirmed and practiced in the light of truth In
this way, ...we do service to charity, enlightened by truth,
but we also help give credibility to truth, demonstrating its
persuasive and authenticating power in the practical setting
of social living. (2)
"MEANING AND VALUE"
Only in truth does charity shine forth, only in truth can charity
be authentically lived. Truth is the light that gives meaning
and value to charity. (3)
