Jesus, we have four weeks to prepare a home for You in our hearts,
and give You the gift that You really want from us.
Lord, help us to pray this week, to see with Your eyes what needs to
be changed or let go of in our lives.
Lord, help us to not only know, but give us the grace to be willing to
do it.
Jesus, maybe we need to let go of anger, or resentment.
Maybe we need to let go of a life style that doesn't come from You.
Maybe we just need a change of heart.
Lord, what ever it is, prepare us to do it, thank You, Jesus.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday YOUR FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/28/2010
"You cannot know the day your Lord is coming." -Matthew 24:42
This first day of the Church year could be the last day of the world, for
we know not the day or the hour. "The Son of Man is coming at the time
you least expect" (Mt 24:44). "The coming of the Son of Man will repeat
what happened in Noah's time. In the days before the flood people
were eating and drinking, marrying and being married, right up to the
day Noah entered the ark. They were totally unconcerned" (Mt 24:37-39).
Many are busily getting ready for Christmas, but how many are ready
for Christ? What if this Advent didn't mean waiting for His Christmas
coming but His actual Second Coming? Would we be busy about many
things (see Lk 10:41), or prepared and ready to greet Him when He
comes again? (see Mt 24:44) What if today were the world's last day,
or your last day? Would you spend Christmas in heaven? "You know
the time in which we are living. It is now the hour for you to wake from
sleep, for our salvation is closer than when we first accepted the faith"
(Rm 13:11). "Let us live honorably as in daylight; not in carousing and
drunkenness, not in sexual excess and lust, not in quarreling and
jealousy" (Rm 13:13).
When Jesus comes back this hour, day, Advent, Christmas, year, or
whenever, may He see Himself in us because we have "put on the Lord
Jesus Christ" and have made "no provision for the desires of the flesh"
(Rm 13:14). Come, Lord Jesus!

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2010-11.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
MARY, MOTHER OF GOD
"GREAT WORD"
Pius XI, introduced this feast day [Mary, Mother of God] in 1931,
1,500 years after the Council of Ephesus, which had legitimated, for
Mary, the title of Theotokos , Dei Genitrix. With this great word ... the
Council of Ephesus had summarized the entire doctrine of Christ, of
Mary, the whole of the doctrine of redemption.
JESUS IS GOD
God did not remain in Himself: He came out of Himself. He united
Himself so closely, so radically to this man, Jesus, that this man
esus is God, and if we speak about Him, we can also speak always
about God ... In Him was born God on earth.
DRAWN TO GOD
God came from Himself. But we could also say the opposite: God
drew us to Himself, so that we are no longer outside of God, but
are within the intimate, the intimacy of God Himself.
(Source: Meditation during the first general congregation of the
Special Assembly for the Middle East of the Synod of Bishops,
October 11, 2010)
