This week, Lord, we celebrate Your presentation in the temple.
Let us see that we are so blessed to be able to come to the
temple of Your Sacred Heart.
Jesus, You absolutely bless us with Your true presence in the
Eucharist.
Lord, when You showed St. Margaret Your heart on fire
with love, You gave us a look at a perfect devotion that we can
do to honor You and Your love for us.
Help us always to sit in wonder at Your love and be excited by
that love.
Amen and Amen
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SURPRISED BY LOVE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/31/2010
"When I became a man I put childish ways aside." —1 Corinthians 13:11
Saul resembled the indignant Jews from Nazareth in today's
Gospel. He surely wanted to throw Jesus over a cliff (see Lk 4:29).
Such was Saul's zeal when he opposed Jesus and His followers.
He harassed the Church, entered many Christian homes, "dragged
men and women out, and threw them into jail" (Acts 8:3). Saul
once testified: "I sent many of God's holy people to prison. When
they were to be put to death I cast my vote against them...Indeed,
so wild was my fury against them that I pursued them even to
foreign cities" (Acts 26:10-11). Saul was one of those who would
put a Christian to death and "claim to be serving God!" (Jn 16:2)
Saul couldn't accept Jesus in his native place (see Lk 4:24). So
Jesus gave him a new nature and a new native place. Jesus
appeared to Saul (Acts 9:3ff), gave him a new nature in baptism
(Acts 9:18), and a new native place by granting him citizenship in
heaven (Phil 3:20). Saul had a heart of stone, and was a man
without love. Set free by the love of Jesus, "Saul (also known as
Paul)" (Acts 13:9) became a "pillar of iron, a wall of brass" who
spread the word of God to many nations (Jer 1:18).
How could such a zealous, furious man change into a person so
loving and sensitive that he could write the beautiful, timeless
words of love recorded in 1 Corinthians 13? Paul's fury melted as
the Holy Spirit poured out the love of God into his heart (Rm 5:5).
Who is the hard, angry Saul in your life? Can you love this Saul
into the arms of Jesus? "Love never fails" (1 Cor 13:8).
Monday ITINERANT DELIVERANCE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/1/2010
"As He got out of the boat, He was immediately met by a man
from the tombs who had an unclean spirit." —Mark 5:2
Tuesday YOUR PRESENT TO GOD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/2/2010
"Be presented to the Lord." —Luke 2:22

URGENT: Please join me praying to God so that I may find a
good spouse. I already have someone in mind I want to
approach but I pray she is the right person. I have been
praying that I meet a girl that has the virtues of our Blessed
Mother and that I might grow in virtue and live virtues like
St. Joseph; that my family be like the Holy Family. I work in an
insurance company but need to find another job - desperately,
because the insurance business cannot sustain my marriage.
I need to settle down in a new house. Praying for health in
mind, soul and body. For God's grace and blessings and for all

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
PEACE AND CREATION
"URGENT CHALLENGE"
Protecting the natural environment in order to build a
world of peace is ... a duty incumbent upon each and all.
It is an urgent challenge, one to be faced with renewed
and concerted commitment; it is also a providential
opportunity to hand down to coming generation the
prospect of a better future for all.
"FERVENT PRAYER"
I invite all believers to raise a fervent prayer to God ... so
that all men and women may take to heart the urgent
appeal: If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation.
(Source: Message for World Day of Peace, issued 12/08/09)
