Jesus, next week we are going to be in Passion week.
Lord, help us to prepare now for this week that shows us how much You love us.
Help us see that You love us so much that You came to do the fathers will and
become the perfect spotless lamb of God for the forgiveness of all sin forever.
Jesus, the love that You have for us is so great that we can barely, not only
understand it, but give You adoration and love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday RAISING THE DEAD AND RAISING FAITH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/10/2011
"Whoever believes in Me, though he should die, will come to life; and whoever is
alive and believes in Me will never die." -John 11:26
Most people want to be present at the deathbed of people they love, but Jesus
said He was glad not to have been present when His friend Lazarus died. Jesus
was glad not to have prevented Lazarus' death. Jesus was concerned about
something more important than death - faith (Jn 11:15). Jesus promised victory
over death for those who have faith in Him (Jn 11:26). He challenged Martha:
"Do you believe?" (Jn 11:26) She responded: "I have come to believe that You
are the Messiah, the Son of God" (Jn 11:27). Jesus promised that Martha would
see God's glory, if she believed (Jn 11:40). Jesus prayed aloud for the sake of the
crowd that they might believe (Jn 11:42). After Jesus raised Lazarus from the
dead, many of the Jews "put their faith" in Jesus (Jn 11:45).
We are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8). "All depends on faith" (Rm 4:16).
Without faith, we cannot please God (Heb 11:6). Therefore, two weeks from today
on Easter Sunday or Easter Vigil in union with every Mass in the world, make the
greatest act of faith in your life by renewing your baptismal promises. Completely
submit your intellect and will to the Lord (Catechism, 143). Give your whole life to
Him. "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved" (Acts 16:31).
Monday JESUS MAKES IT RIGHT FOR ALL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/11/2011
"Nor do I condemn you. You may go." -John 8:11
Tuesday PUTTING WORDS IN OUR MOUTHS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/12/2011
"Because He spoke this way, many came to believe in Him." -John 8:30

PM Internet Prayer Requests

( check out BTL 3 sections below for another way of sharing prayers)
Dear lord jesus only you can remove the bitterness and hatred that has entered
my heart due to my adult daughter using me (and her father)to watch our
grandson since birth to age 2 so she could work fulltime, go tanning,have
manicures, go shopping, runerrands & to go out to 'clubs,etc.'Once confronted
about her 'sinful lifestyle' 3/17-she has kept our grandson from us and now
enrolled him in fulltime daycare 'to get even' with us for not condoning her to
do as she pleases.(she does not live with us but lives with people of
questionable character-nearly our age (50's) who are wealthy. daughter
worships the dollar bill and all that goes with it. ) we cannot comprehend her
animosity towards us or her cruelty.
(Anonymous, 4/9/2011 7:39:02 PM)
Please pray for my friend & I to become closer if it is God's Will, that we can talk
regularly; as we continue to cross paths in this life, both Catholic, & such similar
circumstances. I think we both want to be closer and would make wonderful
supportive Christian friends. The Lord's Will in all. Thank you.

LORD please take my anxiety and replace it with your peace. Take my selfishness
and replace it with your love. Take my sins and replace them with your will and
forgiveness. Take my doubts and replace them with trust and faith in you. LORD
lend me your heart and take mine in for repairs. Thank you for the many blessings
given my family, friends, foes, us here and myself. May I use them to radiate you
love for us to others. Please give me the grace to do it your way today. Thank you

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2011-03.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
LENT AND BAPTISM
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.
"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.
