June 13th Eleventh Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus although we are in ordinary time, no time with You is ever
ordinary.
The fact that we mortals can see You in the Eucharist, sit with You, God,
and receive You in love, is anything but ordinary.
It is an amazing privledge and gift.
You told us that You would be with us always, and so You are.
You constantly call us through the Holy Spirit to come to You and
feel Your love and peace.
Jesus, continue to guide us and keep us sitting and kneeling in Your presense.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday THE PENITENTIAL PSALMS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/13/2010
"I said, 'I confess my faults to the Lord,' and You took away the
guilt of my sin." -Psalm 32:5
Today's psalm response is from one of the seven penitential
psalms as listed in the footnotes of the New American Bible.
The seven Penitential Psalms are psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130,
and 143. I've often prayed passages from these psalms in times
of repentance and penance and especially when preparing for
Confession. Have you ever been so sorry for your sins that you
can't even find the words to express your sorrow to God?
(see Ps 6:3-4) On occasion, I've been so overwhelmed by my
sinfulness that I've prayed all seven psalms consecutively.
The Lord says: "You have collapsed through your guilt. Take
with you words, and return to the Lord" (Hos 14:2-3). In His
mercy, God gives you in the penitential psalms the words to
pray when you're so discouraged by your sinfulness that you
don't know what to tell Him. Perhaps you are "very near to
falling" (Ps 38:18), faint of spirit (Ps 143:4), or sunk in "the
depths" (Ps 130:1) with weeping, tears, and eyes dimmed with
sorrow (Ps 6:7, 8). Because of your guilt, you can't even sleep (Ps 102:8).
Therefore, to comfort and assure you, these psalms declare
that God can't resist a repentant heart. He accepts a humble
and contrite heart (Ps 51:19). In your repentant fear of Him, He
wants you to be confident that "with [Him] is forgiveness"
(Ps 130:4). Be penitential people, and make all heaven rejoice (Lk
Monday "CONQUER EVIL WITH GOOD" (Rm 12:21)

"Do not resist one who is evil." -Matthew 5:39, RSV-CE

Lord, you said "where one or two gather in my name and
prayer with the same intention, I will be present there and
answer them". Lord, everything in this world will pass away
but your word is a life-giving word which will never pass
away as you have promised. O heavenly Lord and almighty,
I beg you to do a favour for me wherever it is necessary for
my job sake, Lord help me to clear my exam and to get a
better place of job. Lord you are my minister my Lord, Your
power is the Superpower, its in you and only you I trust my
Lord, the creator of heaven and earth. I am just your

sweep away our pains, give a healing to our hearts. In Jesus
name I pray. Amen.

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE CHURCH AND THE NEW MEDIA
"ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT"
Church communities have always used the modern media
for fostering communication, engagement with society, and
increasingly, for encouraging dialogue at a wider level. Yet
the recent explosive growth and greater social impact of
these media make them all the more important for a fruitful
priestly ministry.
"A NEW ERA"
Priests stand at the threshold of a new era: as new
technologies create deeper forms of relationship across
greater distances, they are called to respond pastorally by
putting the media ever more effectively at the service of the Word."
(Source: Message for World Communications Day, issued 1/24/10)
