Jesus, our lives are so busy, most of us have no time to do what we really ought to be doing,
and that is giving You praise and prayer.
Christ, give us the grace to come to see You in the Eucharist, Your Body and Blood, and let
us just stop all of our activity, and just adore You.
Lord, let us just sit with You, and let You help us to put our lives in true order.
Jesus, You are the answer to all of our problems and Your way is the only way that leads to
peace and joy.
Please Lord, give us the grace to understand that.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday BODY-BUILDING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/22/2011
"Look around among your own number, brothers, for seven men acknowledged to be
deeply spiritual and prudent, and we shall appoint them to this task. This will permit
us to concentrate on prayer and the ministry of the word." -Acts 6:3-4
When priests are truly priests, we need more deacons. When deacons are truly deacons,
it helps priests be truly priests. When lay people are truly lay people, they call forth
more priests and deacons. "If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one
member is honored, all the members share its joy" (1 Cor 12:26).
Because we are all one body, we grow stronger or weaker together. Some think a
decimated priesthood is a good opportunity for deacons, religious, and lay people to be
more active in the Church. Rather, a weakened priesthood means less opportunities for
others to minister. A weak priesthood is an effect of a weak laity, and will cause a weak
diaconate and even weaker laity.
This vicious cycle can be reversed only by each of us - no matter what part of Christ's
body we are - repenting and surrendering totally to Jesus. Renewal of Christ's body
begins with us. If we deny our very selves, take up our daily cross (Lk 9:23), and become
what the Lord has called us to be, we will build up the body of Christ. In this way, the
word of God will continue to spread and the number of disciples enormously increase (Acts 6:7).

Jesus promised to be with us always even to the end of the world (Mt 28:20). At
the Last Supper, He said: "This is My body," "This is My blood" (Mk 14:22, 24),

Please pray for protection for my daughter from her ex-boyfriend. He is stalking her
and he has made threats against her. The authorities can't do anything. She is terrified
and living in deep fear for her safety. She needs God's grace and support to gain the
strength to handle the stress of dealing with her situation.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
BLESSED JOHN PAUL II
"BELIEVE IN CHRIST"
He gave us the strength to believe in Christ, because Christ is ... the Redeemer of man.
A FUTURE OF HOPE
... John Paul II led the People of God across the threshold of the Third Millenium, which,
thanks to Christ, he was able to call "the threshold of hope."
"A RELIGION OF HOPE"
He restored to Christianity its true face as a religion of hope to be lived in history in an
"Advent" spirit, in a personal and communitarian existence directed to Christ, the
fullness of humanity and the fulfillment of all our longings for justice and peace.
