This week, Jesus, we celebrate the conversion of St. Paul the apostle to the
gentiles, us.
Jesus, once You converted St. Paul, You gave him a firely love for You that
knew no bounds.
Please give us that same love, so that we might evangelize our own family
members by giving them loving actions and not just words.
Help us Jesus, to live as lights to the darkened world, and let us radiate
Your love.
Help us to bring all people into the family of God.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday DON'T "DO IT YOURSELF"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/30/2011
"How blest are the..." -Matthew 5:3
Jesus said that happiness is:
deciding to be materially poor, at least in some areas of our lives (see Mt 5:3),
sorrowing for our sins (see Mt 5:4),
humbling ourselves by taking the lowest places (see Mt 5:5; Lk 14:10),
desiring holiness more than pleasure, comfort, or prestige (see Mt 5:6),
giving up our rights in order to show others mercy (see Mt 5:7),
making the Lord the only Desire of our hearts (Mt 5:8),
making peace by shedding our own blood rather than that of our enemies
(see Mt 5:9; Col 1:20), and
being persecuted, insulted, and slandered as Jesus was (Mt 5:10-11).
Most people, even many Christians, think that Jesus' ideas on happiness
are absurd (see 1 Cor 1:27). However, the happiest people throughout history
have been the humble and lowly remnant who have had the faith to live the
Beatitudes (see Zep 3:12). Will you make up your own "Beatitudes" only to
find out later that you messed up your life and that Jesus knew more about
life and happiness than you did? Or will you live Jesus' Beatitudes and find
out later how wise you were?

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND PEACE
"AUTHENTIC WEAPON OF PEACE"
Religious freedom is an authentic weapon of peace, with an historical and
prophetic mission. Peace brings to full fruition the deepest qualities and
potentials of the human person, the qualities which can change the world
and make it better. It gives hope for a future of justice and peace, even in
the face of grave injustice and material and moral poverty.
"THE PATH TO PEACE"
May all men and women, and societies at every level and in every part of
the earth, soon be able to experience religious freedom, the path to peace!
