Jesus, sometimes we become so involved in our lives, we forget to give
You praise, honor, and glory.
Let us, during this ordinary time, become unordinary in our prayer life.
Let us come to adoration and sit, and give You all of our love.
Let us see that only in You will we ever have rest, and only through You
will we ever have peace and joy in our hearts.
Fill us, Jesus, with Your gifts necessary for living life with You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday BAPTIZED IN THE SPIRIT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/16/2011
"It is He Who is to baptize with the Holy Spirit." -John 1:33
Many people talk about being "baptized in the Spirit." By this, they usually
mean having a renewal of their life in the Spirit. However, the Bible
considers being baptized in the Spirit to be the same as being baptized,
and not a renewal of life in the Spirit. Thus, many people use the phrase,
"baptized in the Spirit," in an un-Biblical way.
Although these people are wrongly using Biblical terminology, they are
"right on" pastorally. We have a great need to renew our being baptized in
the Spirit. Through sin and selfishness, many baptized people have stifled
(1 Thes 5:19) and saddened the Holy Spirit (Eph 4:30). If we are to live the
Christian life as the Lord intended it to be lived, we must stir into flame
the gift of the Holy Spirit (2 Tm 1:6-7).
Today's Scriptural readings invite us to renew our life in the Spirit. Look at
Jesus, the Lamb of God (Jn 1:29). Let Him free you as He freed the
Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Let Him take away your sins and the sins
of the world (Jn 1:29). "Follow the Lamb wherever He goes;" be pure and
uncompromised with the ways of the world (see Rv 14:4). Receive a
renewal of being baptized in the Spirit today.
Monday STOP THE LEAKS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/17/2011
"No one sews a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he should do
so, the very thing he has used to cover the hole would pull away - the new
from the old - and the tear would get worse." -Mark 2:21
Tuesday LET JESUS OPEN HIS WORD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/18/2011
Jesus "said to them: 'Have you never read.?' " -Mark 2:25

I have been battling cancer (leukemia) for last 8 years and have
never been in remission. The disease has progressed recently and
I am having problems with my insurance company approving the
use of certain drugs that may help me. I ask the Lord to remove
the obstacles to my healing. I have not worked for 10 years due to
the illness and I am on disability. I am now 51 years of age. I pray
that the Lord will heal me and help me find my purpose in life. I ask
for restoration of all that has been lost over the last 10 years.

spiritual and intellectual leadership Mankind will need for the time
being (in the here and now).. Amen.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND PEACE
RENEW YOUR COMMITMENT
I implore all men and women of good will to renew their commitment to
building a world where all are free to profess their religion or faith, and
to express their love of God with all their heart, with all their soul and
with all their mind (cf. Mt 22:37).
"BROTHERS AND SISTERS"
If religious freedom is the path to peace, religious education is the
highway which leads new generations to see others as their brothers
and sisters, with whom they are called to journey and work together so
that all will feel that they are living members of the one human family,
from which no one is to be excluded.
THE FAMILY AND PEACE
The family ... remains the primary training ground for harmonious
relations at every level of coexistence, human, national and
international.
