Jesus, this week we celebrate our Lady of Lourdes.
Again and again, Mary our mother, has reached out to us to show
us the way to You.
Help us to truly come closer to You through mom's interceding for us.
Help us to realize how much You and mom love us inspite of our failings.
Help us also to realize that Your mercy is boundless, if only we come
back to You through the sacrament of reconciliation.
Help us to truly see You in the breaking of the bread.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE EASY WAY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/7/2010
"Upon doing this they caught such a great number of fish that
their nets were at the breaking point." —Luke 5:6
Jesus called Simon Peter out of his commercial fishing business
by giving him the most successful day in its history (Lk 5:10). This
is an unusual way to get someone to change jobs. Most people
leave things when they're falling apart, not when they're going great.
However, Jesus does things differently. He will sometimes make your
business prosper if He's calling you out of it.
Notice that Jesus did not call Peter to stop fishing for fish after a
whole night of catching nothing. First, Jesus filled two boats full
of fish (Lk 5:7) and then called Peter into fishing for men and women.
Jesus wants us to obey Him and not just be victims of circumstance.
Jesus loves to work through circumstances, but prefers to bless us
into doing His will rather than force us. He prefers to move us from
good to best rather than from bad to best, although most of us seem
to respond more to problems than to God's loving call.
How will you let God work with you? Does something bad have to
happen to you before you repent? Do you insist on failing and
suffering before learning the hard way? Change your job, life, and
lifestyle because the Lord says so and not because you have had
enough of the wages of sin (Rm 6:23).

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
"IMMENSE CONSEQUENCE"
Respect for creation is of immense consequence, not least because
"creation is the beginning and foundation of all God's works, "
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 198) and its preservation has now
become essential for the pacific coexistence of mankind.
DISRUPTED HARMONY
The harmony between the Creator, mankind and the created world ...
was disrupted by the sin of Adam and Eve, by man and woman, who
wanted to take the place of God and refused to acknowledge that
they were His creatures.
"CHILLING PROSPECTS"
The ecological problem must be dealt with not only because of the
chilling prospects of environmental degradation on the horizon; the
real motivation must be the quest for authentic world-wide solidarity
inspired by the values of charity, justice and the common good.
(Source: Message for World Day of Peace, issued 12/08/09)
