This week, Jesus, Your church celebrates Your annunciation.
And so it begins, our future of redemption starts now with Marys
fiat.
Her yes to the angel Gabriel.
You Christ, will now become one of us in a way that is utterly
amazing.
You enter into mankind as an infant in the womb.
You come with the sole purpose of doing the Father's will.
Help us to follow the Father's will, also in loving and helping
one another.
Help us to give, as You have given to us.
Help us to become true saints in Your kingdom.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE PRAYER FOR SUFFERING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/21/2010
"I wish to know Christ and the power flowing from His resurrection;
likewise to know how to share in His sufferings by being formed
into the pattern of His death." —Philippians 3:10
The Lord calls us to pray to be freed from suffering to be freed for
suffering. We must pray for healing, deliverance, victory, and peace.
We pray to remove sufferings that are not God's will to help us
accept sufferings that are. Therefore, after praying to be freed from
suffering, we should pray "to know how to share in [Christ's]
sufferings by being formed into the pattern of His death" (Phil 3:10).
This prayer to know how to share in Christ's sufferings is rarely
prayed. Only those deeply in love with Christ are open to this prayer.
To pray for suffering, love must be more important to us than self.
We must love Jesus so much we prefer to suffer with Him rather
than to enjoy ourselves without Him. Because of love, we consider
Jesus more important to us than pleasure, and we even value
suffering insofar as it is in union with Christ.
We proclaim: "I have come to rate all as loss in the light of the
surpassing knowledge of my Lord Jesus Christ. For His sake I have
forfeited everything; I have accounted all else rubbish so that Christ
may be my Wealth and I may be in Him" (Phil 3:8-9). Rejoice in the
sufferings of Lent "in the measure that you share Christ's
sufferings" (1 Pt 4:13).
Monday RESIST SEXUAL SIN
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/22/2010
"It is better for me to fall into your power without guilt than to sin
before the Lord." —Daniel 13:23
Tuesday EVANGELIZATION AND LENT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/23/2010
"Because He spoke this way, many came to believe in Him." —John 8:30

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WITNESS AWAKENS VOCATIONS
"RESPOND GENEROUSLY"
The fruitfulness of our efforts to promote vocations depends
primarily on God's free action, yet ... it is also helped by the
quality and depth of the personal and communal witness of
those who have already answered the Lord's call to the
ministerial priesthood and the consecrated life for their
witness is then able to awaken in others a desire to respond
generously to Christ's call.
PRAYER AND VOCATIONS
Prayer is the first form of witness which awakens vocations.
COMPLETE GIFT TO GOD
In following Jesus, everyone called to a life of special
consecration must do his utmost to testify that he has
given himself completely to God.
(Source: Message for World Day of Prayer for Vocations [4/25/2010], issued
11/13/ 2009)
