Jesus, this week we celebrate the feast day of the chair of St. Peter.
Thank You, Jesus, for starting Your church that we may have the
leadership that is necessary to keep us on the way to Your heavenly
kingdom.
We, as Catholics, are so blessed to have the Pope, bishops, priests
and deacons to guide us always to You.
We have the dogmas that define our beliefs, and we have the catechism
that lays it all out for us.
Your church is truly a guide to You.
Let us pray for all our leaders.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday FAST FROM FOOD, FEAST ON THE BIBLE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/21/2010
"The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart." —Romans 10:8; see
also Deuteronomy 30:14
Lent is a time of fasting, but Lent is not a time of famine — that is, a
famine for the word of God (compare Am 8:11). Yes, give up food for
fasting, but also begin a feast: a feast for the Word of God. Feast daily
on the Bible this Lent. Through daily Bible reading:
you won't be as hungry for food, for God's word will feed you and satisfy
your hunger (Mt 4:4),
you will experience the power of Scripture to lead to conversion and
salvation for both yourself and those with whom you share it (Rm 1:16),
you are set free to overcome temptation and the devil through the power
of the Holy Spirit wielding God's Word through you (see Jn 8:31-32; Eph
6:17; Mt 4:4-11),
you will know Jesus more deeply, for "ignorance of the Scriptures is
ignorance of Christ" (Catechism, 133), and
you will store the words of the Bible in your heart to help avoid sin (Ps
119:11).
This Lent and all your life, the devil will tempt you to stay away from
daily Scripture reading. Defeat Satan by reading extra passages of the
Bible each day in Lent (see Acts 17:11). Let your Lenten Scripture
feasting
be a foreshadowing of the heavenly feast (Rv 19:9).
Monday POPE-LESS EXPERIMENTS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/22/2010
"Jesus replied, 'Blest are you, Simon son of Jonah! No mere man has
revealed this to you, but My heavenly Father. I for My part declare to
you, you are "Rock," and on this rock I will build My church, and the
jaws of death shall not prevail against it.' " —Matthew 16:17-18
Tuesday THE BEST LENT OF ALL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/23/2010
"It shall not return to Me void." —Isaiah 55:11

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp
Thank you for praying for me as I asked your ministry to pray
and have quite recently received a few wonderful answers to
prayer. Yesterday, a woman paid for my son to go somewhere
special and another woman called me out of the blue (she has
never done this) to give me an envelope of money that God told
her to give to me. Someone today gave my little boy a new bed
and our family several much needed household items! Please
keep praying and thank you soooooooo much!

such short notice, I'm worried and afraid for her as she's upset

really worried as this will be a big mistake for her. I Please pray
for her so that God will give her strength and courage to go on.
May god bless you. Teresa

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.
