This week, oh Jesus, Your church celebrates St's. Peter and Paul.
The apostles that brought our church into existance through their
love and fidelity to You.
Their lives were not easy, but their love for You kept them to the
task of evangelizing the world, to bring it in, and under You.
Peter, Your first pope died by crucifixion, and Paul, Your evangelist,
died by execution.
Their blood formed the church that would worship You, and give
You all honor and glory.
Holy Spirit, lead us to true faith, that we may fully trust in You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday ALL OF ME
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/27/2010
"As they were making their way along, someone said to Him, 'I will
be Your follower wherever You go.' " -Luke 9:57
Throughout this year and throughout our lives, the Lord has
repeatedly challenged us to make a total commitment to Him. We
thought we had already given Him everything, but then once again
circumstances indicated that we were still seeking to get our own
way instead of His will. This time let's surrender all of the all. Let's
burn the bridges behind us (see 1 Kgs 19:21) and have nothing
and no one to turn to except Jesus. When we put our hand to the
plow this time, we'll have nothing to look back to (Lk 9:62).
If we have given "all of our all" to the Lord, the devil will give us
some new carnal pleasures to compete with Jesus for our attention.
But the Spirit will fight against these selfish desires (Gal 5:17), and
we will continue in our total commitment to the Lord.
"I am going into this with you for your own good. I have no desire
to place restrictions on you, but I do want to promote what is good,
what will help you to devote yourselves entirely to the Lord"
(1 Cor 7:35). John Wesley said that if he had fifty people who loved
no one more than Jesus, feared no one more than Jesus, and
served no one more than Jesus, he would win the world for Christ.
The Lord gave His all for us on Calvary. Let's respond accordingly.
Monday "YOU HATE DISCIPLINE" (Part 1)

"You hate discipline." -Psalm 50:17
Tuesday ATTACK!

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2010-03.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE HOLY SPIRIT
UNITED BY THE SPIRIT
The Spirit triggers a process of reunification of the divided
and dispersed parts of the human family. People, often
reduced to individuals in competition or in conflict with
each other, when touched by the Spirit of Christ open
themselves to the experience of communion...
"THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT"
The fire of God, the fire of the Holy Spirit, is that of the bush
that burned but was not consumed... It is a flame that blazes
but does not destroy, on the contrary, that, in burning,
brings out the better and truer part of man, as in a fusion
it elicits his interior form, his vocation to truth and to love.
TRANSFORMED BY THE SPIRIT
The flame of the Holy Spirit ...enacts a transformation, and
thus must also consume something in man, the waste that
corrupts him and hinders his relations with God and neighbor.
