Jesus, life moves with a speed that differs for all people.
Sometimes we have a lot of time on our hands, and
sometimes we can't believe how fast time is going by.
But in all this, we forget to pray as we should.
Lord, help us to see the importance of prayer, especially
before Your Body and Blood--the Eucharist.
Lord, help us to faithfully set a time each week to come
and adore You and feel the peace that only You can give.
Help us to intercede for the church and all of it's leaders.
Help us to sit in awe of Your love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday ARE YOU SAVED?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=8/22/2010
"I come to gather nations of every language; they shall come and
see My glory." -Isaiah 66:18
Years ago in the fire and brimstone era of the Church, we got the
idea that hardly anyone went to heaven. Most people hoped to just
slip into the back door of purgatory. Nowadays, we get the idea that
everyone goes to heaven. Some people even say there is no hell,
or if there is, no one's there but Judas, Hitler, and Jack the Ripper.
What does Jesus say? In answer to the question about whether few
would be saved, Jesus replied: "Try to come in through the narrow
door. Many, I tell you, will try to enter and be unable" (Lk 13:24).
Jesus also said: "The invited are many, the elect are few" (Mt 22:14).
It seems unbiblical and presumptuous to think that almost everyone
accepts Jesus as Lord and goes to heaven. On the other hand, it is
not part of our heavenly Father's plan that even one person be lost
(Mt 18:14), for He wants all to be saved (1 Tm 2:4). If God had His way,
all would be saved and go to heaven.
Therefore, we should be confident but not presumptuous about our
eternal life with Jesus. "Be solicitous to make your call and election
permanent, brothers; surely those who do so will never be lost. On
the contrary, your entry into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for" (2 Pt 1:10-11).

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
MARY AND MISSION
...In many countries the various ecclesial activities are resumed
in October, after the summer break, and the Church invites us to
learn from Mary, by praying the Holy Rosary, to contemplate the
Father's plan of love for humanity, to love her as He loves her. Is
not this also the meaning of mission?
"SONS AND DAUGHTERS"
... The Father calls us to be sons and daughters loved in the
beloved Son, and to recognize that we are all brothers and sisters
in Him Who is the gift of salvation for humanity divided by
discord and sin, and the revealer of the true face of God Who
"so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (Jn 3:16).
"AWARENESS OF THE CALL"
... Awareness of the call to proclaim the Gospel not only
encourages every individual member of the faithful but also all
diocesan and parish communities to integral renewal and ever
greater openness to missionary cooperation among the
Churches, to promote the proclamation of the Gospel in the
heart of every person. of every people, culture, race and
nationality in every place.
