This week, Jesus, is the start of Lent.
Please Lord, open my heart, mind and soul so that I can really come to You this Lent
and grow in true awareness of what You mean to me in my life.
Let me spend time with You in adoration and find out what it is that You really want
me to give up, change or correct.
Let me start on a journey that will truly change my life and how I really am as a
Christ filled follower of Yours.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE WORDS OF GOD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/6/2011
"Anyone who hears My words and puts them into practice is like the wise
man who built his house on rock." -Matthew 7:24
We can stand on God's words even more firmly than we can stand on a
rock. God's words are permanent (Ps 119:160). They endure forever and
are firm as the heavens (Ps 119:89). When we stand upon God's word, He
steadies our footsteps (Ps 119:133) and keeps us from stumbling
(Ps 119:165). He sets our feet upon the rock of His word and makes firm
our steps (Ps 40:3).
The literal meaning of John 8:31 is that we make our home in the word of
God. Therefore, in standing upon the rock of the word of God, we abide in
His word to the point that we build our home on that rock (Mt 7:24). In
building our lives on the rock of God's word, we are building our spiritual
house on a firm and sure Foundation (1 Cor 3:11). Jesus, the living and
incarnate Word of God (Jn 1:1), is the Foundation (1 Cor 3:11), the Rock
(1 Cor 10:4), and the Cornerstone (Mt 21:42). "Therefore, thus says the
Lord God: See, I am laying a Stone in Zion, a Stone That has been tested,
a precious Cornerstone as a sure foundation: he who puts his faith in It
shall not be shaken" (Is 28:16).
With the psalmist, let us say: "I considered my ways and turned my feet
to Your decrees" (Ps 119:59). Stand upon the rock foundation of Jesus,
the Word of God. You will not be shaken.
Monday BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

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.
"TRUE MEASURE"
..."The true measure of humanity is essentially determined in relationship
to suffering and to the sufferer. This holds true both for the individual and
for society. A society unable to accept its suffering members and incapable
of helping to share their suffering and to bear it inwardly through
'com-passion' is a cruel and inhuman society" (Encyclical letter Spe salvi, n. 38)
(Source: Message for the 19th World Day of the Sick, issued 11/21/2010)
