THE MYTH OF NEUTRALITY - One Bread, One Body, 3/31/2011

Thursday, March 31, 2011

Jeremiah 7:23-28, Psalm 95:1-2, 6-9, Luke 11:14-23

THE MYTH OF NEUTRALITY

The man "who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters." -Luke 11:23

When some people accused Jesus of casting out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, Jesus said: "He who is not with Me is against Me." In the context of spiritual warfare, we are enemies of Jesus if we aren't on His side. There is no neutrality in spiritual warfare. Those who profess to be neutral are either disguised enemies or unknowing draftees into Satan's army. In the context of ministry, we're with Jesus as long as we're not against Him (Mk 9:40). However, in the context of spiritual warfare, we're against Him if we're not with Him.

Therefore, those who haven't given their lives to Jesus are part of the opposition to Jesus and His Church in spiritual warfare. Those who are the world's friends are God's enemies (Jas 4:4). Those who refuse to repent of sin and are "set upon the things of this world" are "enemies of the cross" (see Phil 3:18-19). We don't have to be Judas Iscariot to be an enemy of Jesus. We qualify as His enemy if we wash our hands of the situation as Pontius Pilate did (Mt 27:24), give Jesus the "silent treatment" as Simon Peter did (see Lk 22:57), or are just not there for Jesus as the apostles were not present at Calvary (see Mk 14:50). We are enlisted into Satan's army not just by overt rebellion against Jesus, but also by apathy, lukewarmness, silence, and selfishness. We are either for or against Jesus. Give your life to Him now.

Prayer: Father, may I understand why lukewarmness nauseates Jesus (see Rv 3:16).

Promise: "Listen to My voice; then I will be your God and you shall be My people. Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper." -Jer 7:23

Praise: Realizing she had yet again fallen into complacency, Julie prayed for the fire of God's love to overtake her.

JESUS' IMPOSSIBLE DEMANDS - One Bread, One Body, 3/30/2011

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-9, Psalm 147:12-13, 15-16, 19-20, Matthew 5:17-19
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/033011.shtml

JESUS' IMPOSSIBLE DEMANDS

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets." -Matthew 5:17

In the Old Testament, the Lord told us to obey 612 commandments. In the New Testament, Jesus did not abolish even the smallest part of any of the letters of these commandments (Mt 5:18). In fact, Jesus added several hundred other commandments which we are now responsible to obey. Moreover, we must obey both the letter of these commandments and their spirit (2 Cor 3:6). We must obey not only because of fear, but also because of love.

There is no way we can obey all these commands in the spirit which Jesus expects. We would have to be a new person to meet Jesus' standards. Only God can do what Jesus expects. Therefore, God became a human being. He died and rose to give us a new nature and make us new creations (see 2 Cor 5:17). He lives within us and gives us His divine power.

Only because of this, we can obey and fulfill all the commands of both the Old and New Testaments. Only in Christ is there no condemnation (see Rm 8:1). Only in Christ are His commandments not burdensome (1 Jn 5:3). Only in Christ is found obedience and fulfillment.

Prayer: Father, may I repent, go to Confession, and receive the Holy Spirit deeply. Give me the grace to obey, do, and live the impossible.

Promise: "He has blessed your children within you." -Ps 147:13

Praise: Once Marsha thought she needed to be holy to pray; now she prays to be holier.

QUESTIONS ON FORGIVENESS? - One Bread, One Body, 3/29/2011

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

Daniel 3:25, 34-43, Psalm 25:4-9, Matthew 18:21-35
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/032911.shtml

QUESTIONS ON FORGIVENESS?

"Peter came up and asked Him, 'Lord, when my brother wrongs me, how often must I forgive him? Seven times?' " -Matthew 18:21

Most of us are like Peter. We have many questions about forgiveness.
* "How often must I forgive?" Seven times, that is, indefinitely, or, as Jesus emphatically states, seventy times seven times, that is, indefinitely times indefinitely (Mt 18:22).
* What is forgiveness? Forgiveness is our decision to accept God's grace to let go of offenses committed against us and to express this by acts of mercy and love (see Lk 15:20-24). Pope John Paul II defined forgiveness as "the restoration of freedom to oneself. It is the key held in our own hand to our prison cell."
* How do I forgive? We cannot forgive by our own power. "To err is human, to forgive is divine," and we are not divine. Yet the Lord promised us His divine power to forgive. Therefore, forgiveness is our decision to accept God's grace to forgive.
* What if I don't forgive?
* We "give the devil a chance to work on" us (Eph 4:27).
* We are handed over to the torturers (Mt 18:34). These torturers may be such things as fear, loneliness, depression, frustration, anxiety, and self-hatred.
* We cut ourselves off from receiving forgiveness (Mt 6:12, 15), healing (Sir 28:3), prayer (Mk 11:25), and worship (Mt 5:23-24).
* If we persist in unforgiveness, we cut ourselves off from God forever and damn ourselves.

Unquestionably, we must forgive now. Decide to accept God's grace to forgive all for all they have done to hurt you.

Prayer: Father, scrutinize my heart and remove all unforgiveness.

Promise: "We follow You with our whole heart." -Dn 3:41

Praise: Alberto accepted the grace to forgive his daughter's murderer.

PROSPERITY GOSPEL? - One Bread, One Body, 3/28/2011

Monday, March 28, 2011

2 Kings 5:1-15, Psalm 42:2-3; 43:3-4, Luke 4:24-30
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/032811.shtml

PROSPERITY GOSPEL?

"Naaman set out, taking along ten silver talents, six thousand gold pieces, and ten festal garments." -2 Kings 5:5

Naaman, the army commander of Aram, was a leper. He brought a great treasury of wealth (2 Kgs 5:5) to the prophet Elijah, hoping to obtain a cure for his leprosy. Elijah sent his servant Gehazi to tell Naaman to wash seven times in the Jordan River to be healed (2 Kgs 5:10). In gratitude, Naaman offered his treasures to Elijah, who would not accept the riches despite Naaman's urging (2 Kgs 5:15-16). Naaman then set out to return home.

Gehazi, Elijah's servant, watched Naaman and his treasures depart. Overcome by temptation, he thought: "My master was too easy with this Aramean Naaman, not accepting what he broughtI will run after him and get something out of him" (2 Kgs 5:20). Gehazi pursued Naaman and told him Elijah was asking for money and clothes (2 Kgs 5:22). Naaman gave him double his request (2 Kgs 5:23). Back home, Gehazi lied to Elijah, saying that he hadn't gone after Naaman. Elijah then said to Gehazi: "Is this a time to take money or to take garments?" (2 Kgs 5:26) Then the leprosy which had left Naaman was transferred to Gehazi (2 Kgs 5:27).

Some of you have humbly served for years in ministries. You do without so others can be blessed. You struggle to serve in faith, trusting God to provide for you and your ministry. Daily you labor in love and obscurity. It's easy to grow weary of doing without the resources you need. What if you experienced what Gehazi did: on one day in your ministry, you see an "easy" opportunity (2 Kgs 5:20) to prosper beyond your wildest dreams. What will you do in this sudden temptation? Will you fix your eyes on Jesus, or on the wealth before your eyes? Be Elijah, not Gehazi.

Prayer: Jesus, make me pure in heart (Mt 5:8).

Promise: "His flesh again became like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean." -2 Kgs 5:14

Praise: When Maria's employer required her to sell contraceptives, she refused.

Jesus, Lent is half over, and we haven't truly let go and let You be the total

seem to have enough time to come and adore You.

Grace us, oh! Jesus, to stop all the worry and fear, and just come sit with You
and let You truly minister to us in anyway You know is best.

Let us feel that sense of love that will give us the strength to love others.

Sunday DRINK AND TELL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/27/2011

"The woman then left her water jar and went off into the town." -John 4:28

A Samaritan woman brought her water jar to the town well to fill it with water
(Jn 4:7). Jesus, sitting by the well, offered her living water instead (Jn 4:10).
Jesus told her: "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never be thirsty; no,
the water I give shall become a fountain within him, leaping up to provide
eternal life" (Jn 4:14). The woman, filled with the flowing water of the Spirit,
forgot all about well water, and simply left her water jar sitting by the well. Her
only concern was to tell others about Jesus (Jn 4:28).

God created human beings to be physically and spiritually thirsty. We need to
physically drink every day, and need to spiritually drink even more frequently.
Even the most hard-hearted are thirsty for Jesus' living water, whether or not
they recognize it. Once the Samaritan woman drank of Jesus' living water,
she couldn't help but bring that water to others. Likewise, it's up to us to give
God's thirsty people a drink of Jesus' living water.

The Samaritan woman teaches us that when we drink fully of the water Jesus
offers, we will start evangelizing. We'll be so filled with living water that we
won't be able to help it. If we're not evangelizing, it's likely a symptom that
we're getting spiritually dehydrated. Jesus says: "If anyone thirsts, let him
come to Me; let him drink who believes in Me. Scripture has it: 'From within
him rivers of living water shall flow' " (Jn 7:37-38). Come to Jesus; drink
deeply; tell the world about Him.

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church

LENT AND BAPTISM

FREE YOUR HEART

By immersing ourselves into the death and resurrection of Christ through
the Sacrament of Baptism, we are moved to free our hearts every day from
the burden of material things, from a self-centered relationship with the
"world" that improvishes us and prevents us from being available and open
to God and our neighbor.

REDISCOVER YOUR BAPTISM

... Through the personal encounter with our Redeemer and through fasting,
almsgiving and prayer, the journey of conversion towards Easter leads us
to rediscover our Baptism.

ROBED IN MERCY - One Bread, One Body, 3/26/2011

ROBED IN MERCY

"Quick! bring out the finest robe and put it on him." -Luke 15:22

Did you ever notice the similarity between this story of the Prodigal Son (Lk 15:11ff) and Old Testament stories? When Jesus said, "A man had two sons" (Lk 15:11), His Jewish listeners would have latched onto that right away. Adam had two sons, Cain and Abel (Gn 4:1-2). Abraham had Isaac and Ishmael (Gn 16:15, 21:2-3). Isaac had Jacob and Esau (Gn 25:25-26). Each of those relationships between the sons featured conflict resulting from jealousy, coming from at least one of the brothers.

We can find more similarities. Both the Prodigal Son and Joseph got the finest robe (Lk 15:22; Gn 37:3). This made the other brother(s) jealous, and the venom emerged. Envy compelled Joseph's brothers to get rid of him (Gn 37:20ff), and envy prevented the elder brother from entering his father's house (Lk 15:28). "Envy represents a form of sadness and therefore a refusal of charity; the baptized person should struggle against it by exercising goodwill. Envy often comes from pride; the baptized person should train himself to live in humility" (Catechism, 2540).

Has envy taken up residence in your heart? For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (Mt 6:21). If our most valued treasure is the Father's compassion and mercy toward us, we will then thank Him by giving the same gift to others. Imitate Jesus; treat others better than they deserve to be treated by showing them mercy.

Prayer: Father, let not my impious desires make me fail to receive Your gifts of compassion and mercy. Let my heart be fully open to You so that You might work healing miracles of love and mercy in my life today.

Promise: "Everything I have is yours!" -Lk 15:31

Praise: By forgiving his brother, Matthew began the process of reconciliation.

HO-HUM? - One Bread, One Body, 3/25/2011

Friday, March 25, 2011, Annunciation of the Lord

Isaiah 7:10-14, Hebrews 10:4-10, Psalm 40:7-11, Luke 1:26-38
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/032511.shtml

HO-HUM?

"How can this be?" -Luke 1:34

So many astonishing things occurred at the Incarnation:
* A virgin conceived without having sexual relations (Lk 1:35).
* Almighty God has loved sinful humanity so much that He decided to become fully human, and took residence in the womb of a human mother.
* The Baby conceived by Mary is Emmanuel, God-with-us, Who would save us from our sins (Mt 1:23, 21).
* The omnipotent God did not choose a royal mother, but chose one who was poor and lacking any social status.

One of the most astonishing things about the Incarnation is the ho-hum reaction from so many people. We Christians urgently need to be recaptured by the awe and amazement of the most wonderful and mysterious news of the Annunciation. Jesus, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, became Man! If we, who are followers of the Incarnate Jesus, are not constantly amazed at this most incredibly good news, how can we expect unbelievers to respond with joy?

Be overwhelmed with Jesus, Who was conceived for you, born for you, suffered for you, died for you, and rose for you so that you could live forever with Him. Be people of the Incarnation.

Prayer: Recapture me, O Jesus. Overshadow me with Your Holy Spirit. I am all Yours.

Promise: "We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." -Heb 10:10

Praise: "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us, and we have seen His glory: the glory of an only Son coming from the Father, filled with enduring love" (Jn 1:14).

HEART ATTACK - One Bread, One Body, 3/24/2011

HEART ATTACK

"More tortuous than all else is the human heart." -Jeremiah 17:9

More tortuous, twisted, and deceitful than all else is the human heart. The human heart is so tortuous that it will repeatedly murder millions of babies in the wombs of their mothers. The human heart is so self-deceived that it will call apathy "innocence," as we let the worst holocaust in the history of the human race go on before our eyes. The human heart is so twisted that it can have less sensitivity for the poor than a dog has (see Lk 16:21). The human heart is such that even if someone were to rise from the dead, our heart would not prompt us to change our lifestyle (see Lk 16:31). Jesus bluntly stated: "Wicked designs come from the deep recesses of the heart: acts of fornication, theft, murder, adulterous conduct, greed, maliciousness, deceit, sensuality, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, an obtuse spirit" (Mk 7:21-22).

The depths of the human heart are terrifying. Who can understand our hearts? Jesus answers: "I, the Lord, alone probe the mind and test the heart" (Jer 17:10). Jesus "needed no one to give Him testimony about human nature. He was well aware of what was in man's heart" (Jn 2:25).

On the next three Sundays of Lent, our catechumens are receiving the ancient prayers of the Church, called "the scrutinies." In these prayers, the Church asks the Lord to read (Acts 1:24), search (Ps 139:23), and purify (Ps 51:12) the hearts of the catechumens. We should all pray "the scrutinies" for the Lord to purify our hearts in unimaginable ways. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Prayer: Father, this Lent perform open heart surgery on me.

Promise: "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord." -Jer 17:7

Praise: Mary and Peter pray with and for their children daily.

Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/032311.shtml

CRUCIFYING SELFISHNESS

"It cannot be like that with you." -Matthew 20:26

There is an attitude, a way of reasoning, which comes natural to us. This attitude is steeped in selfishness and is very displeasing to the Lord. It is expressed in the words of Jeremiah's persecutors. They thought this way: "Let us contrive a plot against Jeremiah. It will not mean the loss of instruction from the priests, nor of counsel from the wise, nor of messages from the prophets" (Jer 18:18). Justice was ignored and violence planned with few qualms of conscience because the conspirators against Jeremiah were blinded by the "logic" of selfishness.

In doing whatever it took to seek a top rank in Jesus' kingdom, James, John, and their mother ignored Jesus' call to the cross and the welfare of the other apostles (see Mt 20:21). The "logic" of selfishness was used to justify stepping on people and even trying to manipulate God.

The chief priests and elders refused to answer Jesus' question about the origin of John's baptism. "They thought to themselves, 'If we say "divine," He will ask us, "Then why did you not put faith in it?"; while if we say, "merely human," we shall have reason to fear the people, who all regard John as a prophet' " (Mt 21:25-26). Truth was not even an issue. It had been completely eclipsed by selfishness.

Blinded by selfishness, we try to justify abortion, rebellion, unforgiveness, gossip, slander, violence, etc. Blinded by selfishness, we think nothing of ignoring justice, love, and truth. Therefore, by God's grace, we must crucify our selfishness (see Gal 5:24) or we will continue to crucify the Lord (Heb 6:6).

Prayer: Father, I decide to deny myself and take up my daily crosses (Lk 9:23).

Promise: "Such is the case with the Son of Man Who has come, not to be served by others, but to serve, to give His own life as a ransom for the many." -Mt 20:28

Praise: St. Toribio baptized and confirmed nearly a million native Americans.

RELIGIOUS PRIDE

"The scribes and the Pharisees have succeeded Moses as teachers; therefore, do everything and observe everything they tell you. But do not follow their example." -Matthew 23:2-3

The religious leaders of Jesus' time were bad examples (Mt 23:3), frauds (Mt 23:13, 15, 23, 27, 29), blind guides (Mt 23:16, 24), and blind fools (Mt 23:17). They were a "viper's nest," a "brood of serpents" (Mt 23:33), "like whitewashed tombs" (Mt 23:27).

The religious leaders merited such condemnations because:
* their words were bold but their deeds few (Mt 23:4),
* they burdened people more than unburdened them (Mt 23:4),
* all their works were performed to be seen (Mt 23:5), and
* they were fond of being honored and respected (Mt 23:6-7).

In summary, Jesus condemned the religious leaders of His day because they exalted themselves (Mt 23:12).

Most of you reading this are religious by the standards of our time. Moreover, many of you are religious leaders in your own right. Unlike the Pharisees of old, take Jesus' words personally. Repent. Ask the Holy Spirit to convict you of your sins. Go to Confession. "Come now, let us set things right, says the Lord: though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow" (Is 1:18). "If you are willing, and obey, you shall eat the good things of the land; but if you refuse and resist, the sword shall consume you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken!" (Is 1:19-20)

Prayer: Father, free me from religious pride.

Promise: "Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before My eyes; cease doing evil; learn to do good. Make justice your aim." -Is 1:16-17

Praise: Marcia was awakened by God to her "holier than thou" attitude and repented by humbly returning to the Lord.

Daniel 9:4-10, Psalm 79:8-9, 11, 13, Luke 6:36-38
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/032111.shtml

SIN "COMING OUT OF MY EARS"

"I prayed to the Lord, my God, and confessed." -Daniel 9:4

As we enter into Lent, the Father's voice from the cloud overshadowing the transfigured Christ commands us to listen to Jesus (see Lk 9:35). Although the purpose of life is rooted in listening to Jesus, our sins have made us so hard of hearing that we don't even hear the Lord saying that we are hard of hearing. Rather, we blame Him for not speaking up. However, even when the Father raised His voice dramatically from the cloud at Jesus' Transfiguration, we still had trouble hearing.

Daniel in today's first reading shows that he can hear better than most people. He at least heard he wasn't hearing well and what God wanted to do to rectify the problem. The Lord inspired Daniel to pray, fast, and repent in sackcloth and ashes (Dn 9:3-4). God can clean out our ears any way He wants and any way we let Him, but He has often chosen prayer, fasting, and repentance to do the job. When we pray in the Spirit, the Spirit cleans out our ears by proving us wrong about the harmlessness of our worldly ways (see Jn 16:8). We see how our provisions for the desires of the flesh (see Rm 13:14) are obstructing our spiritual hearing. When we fast during each of the forty days of Lent, we find our ears are more open when our mouths are closed. Finally, when we repent, we find sins "coming out of our ears." Then we can hear God and live.

Prayer: Father, may my next Confession be soon. May it be a real ear-opener.

Promise: "Pardon, and you shall be pardoned." -Lk 6:37

Praise: Alice has saved hundreds of children by personally loving and counseling young mothers in front of abortion chambers.

PM eNewsletter Second Sunday of Lent

March 20th Second Sunday of Lent

This week, Jesus, we have a feast that puts Your salvation plan in motion.

The Annuncation of Your coming birth, and Marys acceptance of Your plan.

Let us see the love that You have for us, that You, who are truly God,
became man so that You could fulfill the fathers plan, as the perfect Lamb of God.

You would take and become truly human and divine, to walk with us, and show
us the way to the father.

Set us on fire with that love.

Amen and Amen.

Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections

Sunday ARE YOU HARDLY WORKING FOR THE GOSPEL?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/20/2011

"Bear your share of the hardship which the gospel entails." -2 Timothy 1:8

As a baptized child of God, you have a share in the blessings of the gospel
(1 Cor 9:23; Eph 1:3). Likewise, you also have a share in the hardship the
gospel of Christ requires (2 Tm 1:8).

Jesus in His mercy brings His disciples hope in the midst of hardships. In
today's Gospel reading, Jesus takes three disciples up a mountain and allows
them to experience His transfigured brilliance and glory (Mt 17:1ff). St. Peter
understood this earthly dynamic between glory and suffering. He told us that
the spiritual high of Jesus' Transfiguration was a light "shining in a dark place"
for all of us who bear gospel hardships (2 Pt 1:16-19). Peter also understood
them as a normal part of the gospel. He tells us: "Christ suffered in the flesh;
therefore arm yourselves with His same mentality" (1 Pt 4:1).

Our hardships are few compared to those of our ancestors in faith. Abram
moved hundreds of miles at age seventy-five (Gn 12:1ff). Mary, the mother of
Jesus, suffered many sorrows. Countless disciples have been martyred for the
gospel. Most of us have not even endured one of the hardships mentioned in a
partial list of St. Paul's sufferings for the gospel (2 Cor 11:23-33). "The present
burden of our trial is light enough" (2 Cor 4:17), and the Lord gives us daily
strength (2 Tm 1:8) and periodic glimpses of His glory so we can persevere (e.g. Mt 17:2).

"Take courage...says the Lord, and work" for the spread of the gospel (Hg 2:4).
"With the strength which comes from God bear your share of the hardship
which the gospel entails" (2 Tm 1:8).

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church

LENT AND BAPTISM

"FAVORABLE TIME"

A particular connection binds Baptism to Lent as the favorable time to
experience this saving Grace.

"IRREPLACEABLE SCHOOL"

Lent offers us a path like that of the catechumenate, which, for the
Christians of the early Church, just as for catechumens today, is an
irreplaceable school of faith and Christian life. Truly they live their
Baptisms as an act which shapes their entire existence.

"FIRM COMMITMENT"

The Lenten journey finds its fulfillment in the Paschal triduum, especially
in the Great Vigil of the Holy Night: renewing our baptismal promises, we
reaffirm that Chist is the Lord of our life, that life which God bestowed
upon us when we were reborn of "water and the Holy Spirit", and we
profess again our firm commitment to respond to the action of the
Grace in order to be His disciples.

2 Samuel 7:4-5, 12-14, 16, Romans 4:13, 16-18, 22, Psalm 89:2-5, 27, 29, Matthew 1:16, 18-21, 24, or Luke 2:41-51
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/031911.shtml

THE ULTIMATE "YES MAN"

"When Joseph awoke he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him." -Matthew 1:24

Our modern culture enjoys reading about the personal struggles, emotions, doubts, and triumphs in people's lives. It's as if our culture gives people the right to make ungodly choices if their struggles are intense enough. The Scriptures differ from modern culture. They didn't concentrate on St. Joseph's feelings or his struggles. They simply concentrate on what Joseph did. They reflect Joseph as a man of "obedient faith" (Rm 1:5).

God's ways are far above the ways of today's culture (Is 55:8-9). Certainly God is concerned about our struggles (see Ps 56:9; Dt 2:7). He gives us the grace necessary to live by faith (Heb 10:38), no matter how difficult our circumstances. Joseph apparently understood this. He was required to endure struggles which no man on earth ever has been asked to face, yet he simply trusted God and obeyed Him.

St. Joseph had a "fiat" to proclaim, just as the Blessed Virgin Mary did. God the Father entrusted His only begotten Son, Jesus, to the care and protection of Joseph, and he said "yes" to God. Each of us also have a fiat to proclaim, no matter the circumstances of our lives. Let us consider the sufferings of the present as nothing compared to the privilege of saying "yes" to God (see Rm 8:18; 2 Cor 1:19). Imitate the example of St. Joseph, the man of faith, and respond to the Lord with faith and loving obedience.

Prayer: Father, may I concentrate on pleasing You alone.

Promise: "All depends on faith, everything is grace." -Rm 4:16

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Friday, March 18, 2011, St. Cyril of Jerusalem

Ezekiel 18:21-28, Psalm 130:1-5, 7-8, Matthew 5:20-26
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/031811.shtml

REPENT NOW!

"Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? says the Lord God. Do I not rather rejoice when he turns from his evil way that he may live?" -Ezekiel 18:23

The Lord promises He will remember against us none of the sins we have committed if we repent (Ez 18:22). He also promises He will remember none of our virtuous deeds if we break faith with Him (Ez 18:24). Thus, the Lord is always forgetting about something that we've done. Whether or not we repent determines whether He forgets our sins or our virtuous deeds.

Repentance is so important that there's more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine who have no need to repent (Lk 15:7). Repentance gives us the benefit of Jesus' saving death on Calvary. Refusing to repent causes His death to be in vain for us (see 1 Cor 1:17). Repentance can change our future from everlasting hell to eternal happiness. Repentance is an act of love for God by which we enter into having a life of love for Him. Repentance opens the door for the Lord to turn even the worst things to the good for those who love Him (Rm 8:28). Repentance usually gives us immediate freedom and peace. It is a prerequisite for receiving a new Pentecost (Acts 2:38) and for building God's kingdom (see Mk 1:15).

Repentance is a grace, privilege, and calling. It is a matter of justice, which opens for us the gates of God's mercy. Repentance is the reason for Lent and life. Repent now!

Prayer: Father, may I take the plank out of my own eye and then remove the specks from others' eyes (Mt 7:5).

Promise: "Go first to be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Lose no time." -Mt 5:24-25

Praise: St. Cyril was treated unjustly and forced into exile, yet continued to tell heretics to repent and return to the Truth, to Jesus, true God and true Man.

QUICK DRAW

"Ask, and you will receive. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. For the one who asks, receives." -Matthew 7:7-8

Jesus commands us to ask. Usually we command others to do something because they probably won't do it otherwise. Surprisingly we have a problem asking God for good things so Jesus commands us to do so. Jesus gives the example of a son asking for a loaf or a fish (Mt 7:9-10). Jesus reasons that if the son gets what he asks for, shouldn't we also ask confidently? Jesus concludes, "If you, with all your sins, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good things to anyone who asks Him!" (Mt 7:11)

Even though we may not be aware of it, we don't ask God enough and we don't ask Him quickly enough. Our Father complains: "I was ready to respond to those who asked Me not, to be found by those who sought Me not. I said: Here I am! Here I am! To a nation that did not call My Name" (Is 65:1). He commands, "Ask of Me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession" (Ps 2:8). He promises: "Anything you ask Me in My Name I will do" (Jn 14:14).

Try to ask every day for something you never asked for before. Ask God more quickly. How soon do you ask for help in temptation? Do you pray for healing the second you're aware of sickness? Ask the Lord quickly and for more. God loves you.

Prayer: Father, this Lent teach me to be quick on the draw in asking You for all good things.

Promise: "Save us by Your power, and help me, who am alone and have no one but You, O Lord. You know all things." -Est C:25

Praise: St. Patrick, kidnap victim and runaway slave, prayed for the conversion of his kidnappers during his escape and subsequent freedom. He later freely returned to the land of his kidnappers to bring Jesus to them.

THE LENTEN FAST - One Bread, One Body, 3/16/2011

http://www.presentationministries.com/bibleinst
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

Jonah 3:1-10, Psalm 51:3-4, 12-13, 18-19, Luke 11:29-32
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/031611.shtml

THE LENTEN FAST

"They shall not eat." -Jonah 3:7

During Lent, the Lord calls us to imitate Him when He fasted forty days in the desert (Mt 4:2). Fasting is limiting our intake of food and/or drink. A diabetic, an elderly person, or an expectant mother can fast by just skipping dessert or not eating between meals. Fasting is not a matter of quantity but of obedience to the Lord.

Nevertheless, the Lord often calls His people to fast extensively. For example, the king of the Ninevites proclaimed to his people a fast in which nothing was eaten or drunk for presumably a short time (Jon 3:7). Esther and the Jews of the city of Susa were called to eat and drink nothing for three days (Est 4:16). The soldiers of Judas Maccabeus fasted to the degree that they felt too weak to fight (1 Mc 3:17). Paul mentioned his "frequent fastings" (2 Cor 11:27), and Jesus began His public ministry by fasting for forty days and nights.

For most Christians, Lent is the kind of fast in which we substantially limit our intake of food. What the Church has taught for centuries - only one full meal for each of the forty days of Lent - is probably still God's will for most Christians. Make this your way of fasting during Lent unless the Lord has specifically given you other directions on fasting.

Prayer: Father, use my fasting to drive out demons (Mt 17:21, NAB).

Promise: "For at the preaching of Jonah they reformed, but you have a greater than Jonah here." -Lk 11:32

Praise: Rob fasts weekly for his wife's welfare. Their marriage is stronger than ever.

RATTLE SNAKE

"In your prayer do not rattle on like the pagans." -Matthew 6:7

Jesus commanded us not to rattle on in prayer. Some people think that when we repeat prayers, we are rattling. However, repetition is often an expression of love. For instance, I hope you repeatedly say to your family: "I love you." Jesus Himself repeated His prayers. For example, the exact translation of Luke 23:34 and Mark 14:36 are "He kept saying." Rattling on is not mere repetition.

If we haven't forgiven those who have hurt us, we curse rather than bless ourselves when we pray: "Forgive us the wrong we have done as we forgive those who wrong us" (Mt 6:12). If we haven't forgiven, we rattle on rather than truly pray.

The first word of prayer taught by Jesus is "Abba," "Father" (Mt 6:9). Prayer is a matter of relationship. Jesus said: "This people draws near with words only and honors Me with their lips alone, though their hearts are far from Me" (Is 29:13; Mt 15:8). Rattling on in prayer is the same thing as "lip service." We rattle on in prayer when our hearts are far from the Lord. Until we obey the first of all the commandments and therefore love the Lord with all our hearts, how can we obey Jesus' teaching on how to pray?

A hardened, closed, divided, unrepentant heart turns our prayer into a "death-rattle." However, "a heart contrite and humbled" God "will not spurn" (Ps 51:19). "A clean heart create for me, O God," so I can pray (Ps 51:12).

Prayer: Sacred Heart of Jesus, make my heart like Yours.

Promise: "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but shall do My will, achieving the end for which I sent it." -Is 55:11

Praise: Susanna prays the rosary slowly and meditatively.

MORE WAYS TO LOVE JESUS - One Bread, One Body, 3/14/2011

"Lent and Baptism" is the title of the latest issue of Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth.

Leviticus 19:1-2, 11-18, Psalm 19:8-10, 15, Matthew 25:31-46
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/031411.shtml

MORE WAYS TO LOVE JESUS

"I assure you, as often as you did it for one of My least brothers, you did it for Me." -Matthew 25:40

Jesus gave us a preview of Judgment Day. We will be judged by our faith and love for Him as we have expressed it in loving service to "the least of the brethren." This fact can be taken as a burden. Now we have to take care of the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the imprisoned (see Mt 25:35-36). However, we should not feel burdened by the poor and the needy, but instead feel privileged to serve them.

As Christians, we live lives of love in response to the Lord's love on Calvary. We love with all our hearts God, Who is Love (1 Jn 4:16). Our goal in life is to show our love for God as frequently as possible. We tell God we love Him several times a day. We do everything for love of Him and give Him many gifts and sacrifices each day. We wish we could think of other ways to show our love for Him. Jesus fulfills our wish. He surrounds us with poor and needy people. Then He says that whatever we do to "the least of the brethren," we do for Him. If it weren't for the poor, we would be frustrated in finding more ways to love Jesus. Now, we can show love for Jesus in thousands of ways.

In love, we thank Jesus for the poor. How precious they are! They give us the opportunity to feed, clothe, visit, and love Jesus all day, every day. We owe such a debt of gratitude to the poor.

Prayer: Father, beginning this Lent, may I receive Your heart of love for the poor.

Promise: "You shall not go about spreading slander among your kinsmen; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor's life is at stake." -Lv 19:16

Praise: Tara, a mother of eight, frequently takes her children to a local, inner-city mission to help serve the needs of the poor.

PM eNewsletter First Sunday of Lent

March 13th First Sunday of Lent

This week, oh! Christ, we have two great feast days, St. Patricks Day on the 17th,
and St. Josephs Day on the 19th.

Both of these men are truly examples of what it means, and how it means, to follow
You through problems and the difficulties of life.

Let us see in St. Joseph, a quiet, prayful person who truly followed Your will totally.

Let us see in St. Patrick a man who did what seemed to be impossible.

Let us be on fire as they were.

Amen and Amen.

Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections

Sunday THE VIEW FROM THE DESERT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/13/2011

"Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit." -Matthew 4:1

In the stark desolation of the physical desert, you can:

- see clearly without distraction.
- live simply, in a "lean and mean" lifestyle. Only the basic necessities for survival
are valuable.
- discern value clearly. We tend to overvalue the things the world affords (1 Jn 2:16).
In the desert, a cup of water has far more value than a diamond necklace.

In Lent, the Holy Spirit leads us into the desert to speak to our heart (Hos 2:16).
This spiritual desert is similar to the physical desert:

- Temptations can be seen more clearly for what they are, without distraction.
- Things that seem so important in the world, such as the regard of others, fade
into obscurity in the spiritual desert.
- Things that seem obscure in the clutter of society, such as God's opinion of
you, are critically important in the desert.
- Your need for God's provision and protection is acute in the desert. The
consequences of rebelling against God's direction can be fatal.

Most of all, the desert is a place of love (see Jer 2:2). In the desert the Lord
allures us (Hos 2:16) by pouring out His love into our heart through the Holy
Spirit (Rm 5:5). The Israelites grumbled in the desert (see Ex 16:2), but in the
Lenten desert, we will rejoice (Is 35:1). "In the desert prepare the way of the
Lord!" (Is 40:3)

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp

I am divorced, my family cut me off & I am disabled. I'm asking for prayer
because right now I have noone. I am barely able to function I am so weak.
My family seem to be self serving & use me as scapegoat. God Help me. I
know I am victim soul.. right now I am scared.
(Anonymous, 3/12/2011 3:27:04 PM)

That my work remains secure even after the struggles with my last task,
plus also that myself and my new loved one can come together very soon.
(Joel, Ashburn, VA, United States, 3/12/2011 3:10:11 PM)

Please pray for our CLAY group as I spoke to them about the stations of
the cross and even showed them what they should due by us going threw
the complete stations together; provided them with a booklet (kids version
easy to understand) and advised that they should due this every friday till
Good Friday this way here they could prepare there hearst in this time of
Lent and they will be filled with a deeper love for Jesus. However not sure
if they really got anything out of it as they were not really focused due to
the march break lets remember they are from kindergarden to grade 5. I
also advised if they could go to church on fridays for the stations that
would be better but if there parents could not take them then to due in
there bedrooms so they could be alone with Jesus or even due as a family.
Appreciate your prayers these young ones really need it as there is not full
support at home.
(Anonymous, 3/12/2011 2:59:35 PM)

Please pray for me and my daughters that the ears to our souls hear God's
calling to holiness. Also that He be our ONLY heart treasure and if there is
anything that is blocking Jesus from being our ONE AND ONLY heart
treasure that He remove it, All for His Glory . Thank you - Blessings to all
that are praying for us.
(anonymous, 3/12/2011 2:48:04 PM)

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church

LENT AND BAPTISM

INTENSE JOURNEY

As she awaits the definitive encounter with her Spouse in the eternal Easter,
the Church community, assiduous in prayer and charitable works, intensifies
her journey in purifying the spirit, so as to draw more abundantly from the
Mystery of Redemption the new life in Christ the Lord...

"JOYFUL AND EXULTING ADVENTURE"

This very life was already bestowed upon us on the day of our Baptism, when
we "become sharers in Christ's death and Resurrection", and there began for
us "the joyful and exulting adventure of His disciples" (homily 1/10/2010).

ENCOUNTER CHRIST

Baptism is not a rite from the past, but the encounter with Christ, which
informs the entire existence of the baptized, imparting divine life and calling
for sincere conversion; initiated and supported by Grace, it permits the
baptized to reach the adult stature of Christ.
