Jesus, during this ordinary time, please keep us from ever thinking that in You
any time is ordinary.
Lord, remind us that praise and glory to You, should be the main stay of our
existence.
We should constantly be amazed by the never ending love that You have for
all people.
Let us come to You in joyful adoration and sit and worship You as often as we
can.
Let us see You in others and help us spread the good news through our words
and actions.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday LIVING THE IMPOSSIBLE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/13/2011
"I tell you, unless your holiness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees
you shall not enter the kingdom of God." -Matthew 5:20
Jesus has higher standards than anyone who has ever lived. He has the
highest standards for harmony in relationships (Mt 5:22), purity in sexuality
(Mt 5:28), faithfulness in marriage (Mt 5:32), truth in speech (Mt 5:34), and
love for enemies (Mt 5:39, 44). In Jesus, we don't just control our tempers
but crucify them (Gal 5:24). Jesus commands us to destroy our bodies rather
than look lustfully at someone else's body, and to divorce ourselves from
unforgiveness and sin rather than from our spouses. Jesus commands us to
express the truth rather than express our own agenda. We are to treat our
enemies even better than we treat our friends (see Lk 15:20ff).
Jesus' standards are intentionally impossible. Humanly speaking, we cannot
meet these standards, no matter how hard we try. To do so, we would have
to be born over again into new creatures. Jesus is not into self-improvement,
but self-denial. We're not concerned with behavior modification but rebirth.
We don't try to educate our old nature but drown it in the waters of baptism.
We're not trying to make ourselves better, but to let Him make us new.

"She conceived and bore Cain, saying, 'I have produced a man with the help
of the Lord.' " -Genesis 4:1

cold toward her, and I fear there may be another "woman". I pray that

that he is not cheating on her and he will "see the light" show her
more affection and make this marriage work, I pray in Jesus name,

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2011-02.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
SICKNESS AND SUFFERING
"THE MYSTERY OF SUFFERING"
Every year on ... the memorial of the Blessed Virgin of Lourdes, which
is celebrated on February 11, the Church proposes the World Day of
the Sick. This event ... becomes a propitious occasion to reflect on the
mystery of suffering and above all to make our communities and civil
society more sensitive to our sick brothers and sisters.
"AT THE CENTER OF ATTENTION"
If every man is our brother, much more must the sick, the suffering and
those in need of care be, at the center of our attention, so that none of
them feels forgotten or emarginated.
(Source: Message for the 19th World Day of the Sick, issued 11/21/2010)
