This week, Jesus, Your church celebrates the feast of St. Martha,
who had a great desire to serve You, because of her love for You.
She also had the gift of faith to know that You were the Son of God,
the Messiah.
Martha believed in the resurrection of the dead, and knew that the
Father heard all of Your prayers.
So You showed her Your love by raising her brother from the dead.
Lord, give us the faith to truly know of the resurrection and the
grace to live lives in anticipation of coming home to You at Your call.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SPIRIT-FILLED
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/25/2010
"If you, with all your sins, know how to give your children good things,
how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask Him." -Luke 11:13
Matthew wrote that, when we pray, we can be certain the Lord will give
us good things (Mt 7:11). However, Luke promised we can be certain of
receiving the Spirit when we pray (Lk 11:13). The Lord may be telling
us to pray for the Spirit more than for the blessings of the Spirit.
Do you pray every day, several times a day: "Come Holy Spirit"? Do
you ask for the gift of the Spirit to be stirred into flame in your life?
(2 Tm 1:6) Have you or would you devote yourself for nine days to
pray for the Spirit, as the disciples did at the first Pentecost? (Acts 1:14)
The Holy Spirit wants to make us His temples more than we can ever
imagine, but will not come to us and fill us without our invitation. We
must ask to receive the life in the Spirit (Lk 11:9). Pray for the Spirit.
Pray to repent of stifling the Spirit (1 Thes 5:19). Pray to persevere in
praying for the Spirit. Pray nine days for the Spirit, as at the first
Pentecost. "Come, Holy Spirit."
Monday GRAND-PARENTS

"Blest are your eyes because they see and blest are your ears because
they hear." -Matthew 13:16
Tuesday APOSTATES
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/27/2010
"The Son of Man will dispatch His angels to collect from His kingdom
all who draw others to apostasy." -Matthew 13:41

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE PRIESTHOOD
SHARE GOD'S CONCERN
God wants us, as priests, in one tiny moment in history, to
share His concern about people. As priests, we want to be
persons who share His concern for men and women, who
take care of them and provide them with a concrete experience
of God's concern.
WALKING WITH GOD'S PEOPLE
We should strive to "know" men and women as God does and
for God's sake; we should strive to walk with them along the
path of God's friendship.
A WELLSPRING OF LIFE
Every Christian and every priest should become, starting from
Christ, a wellspring which gives life to others. We ought to be
offering life-giving water to a parched and thirsty world.
(Source: Homily of Mass concluding the Year for Priests,
Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 11, 2010)
