Jesus, we are now at the 40 day time when Your ascension is to be celebrated.
Some of Your churches have moved Your feast to June 5th, and I really have no question
or problem with either date, but the main thing is we should really celebrate Your going
back to heaven to sit on Your throne at the right hand of the Father.
Christ, You are our intercessor, and You are always pleading for us, Your children.
Thank You Jesus, for loving us so much.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE WORLD READS YOUR HEART
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/29/2011
"Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts." -1 Peter 3:15, RNAB
Moments after I heard the above passage from the second reading proclaimed at Mass, the
priest announced the Gospel reading, and everyone traced the sign of the cross on their
hearts, as well as their foreheads and lips. Everyone at Mass was asking the Lord to sanctify
their hearts to receive the Gospel and act upon it.
When we have a sanctified heart to enthrone Christ as Lord (1 Pt 3:15), our lives cannot help
but reflect the joy of the Lord regardless of our life's circumstances. We will speak out of
the abundance of our heart (Lk 6:45), a heart full of love for Jesus (Jn 14:21). The love of
God has been poured out in our sanctified hearts through the Holy Spirit (Rm 5:5). In Jesus,
we have been given a new heart to love God (Ez 36:26). No one can take this joy from our
heart (Jn 16:22).
Has anyone asked you lately the reason for your hope and joy? Why would anyone ask us
this? (1 Pt 3:15) It's because our life in Christ and our love for Him cannot be kept inside our
joyful heart. His love always grows in a sanctified heart, which cannot contain it. His
outpoured, overflowing love runs over, leaps up within us, and flows out from
us (Jn 7:38; 4:14) to refresh a world that's parched, lifeless, and without the water of the
Holy Spirit (see Ps 63:2).
Sanctify Jesus as Lord in your heart (1 Pt 3:15). Then people won't be able to refrain from
asking you the reason for this hope of yours. Speak of your love for Jesus out of the
abundance of God's love in your heart (Lk 6:45). Refresh the hearts of a hurting world in
Christ (Phlm 20).

"All of us, gazing on the Lord's glory with unveiled faces, are being transformed
from glory to glory into His very image by the Lord Who is the Spirit." -2 Corinthians 3:18
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),
and "Do this as a remembrance of Me" (Lk 22:19). After receiving the Holy Spirit,

O God, who didst break the chains of blessed Peter the Apostle and didst make
him come forth from prison, unscathed, loose the bonds of Thy servants SA, KA,
and CW, held in captivity of substance abuse, and by the merits of the same
Apostle, do grant them to be delivered from its tyranny. remove from their hearts
all excessive love of inappropriate gratifications, so that living soberly, justly,
piously, they may attain everlasting life with Thee. Amen.

(Charles, 5/28/2011 3:22:14 PM)
Jesus, You are both Man and God. You suffered and died for us, because You
believed in us, even when we did'nt believe in You or ourselves. Help us to become
holy like You, because we have no one to turn to but Your Love and Truth. The
World, the Flesh, and Satan are nothing but an empty bag of lies. This is a clear
and evident fact to any honest person. Amen.
(Anonymous, 5/28/2011 3:17:34 PM)

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2011-05.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
BLESSED JOHN PAUL II
"PROFOUND HUMILITY"
His profound humility, grounded in close union with Christ, enabled him to
continue to lead the Church and to give to the world a message which became
all the more eloquent as his physical strength declined.
"ONE WITH JESUS"
In this way, he lived out in an extraordinary way the vocation of every priest
and bishop to become completely one with Jesus, Whom he daily receives and
offers in the Church.
INSPIRING EXAMPLE
May his example of firm faith in Christ, the Redeemer of Man, inspire us to live
fully the new life which we celebrate at Easter, to be icons of divine mercy, and
to work for a world in which the dignity and rights of every man, woman and
child are respected and promoted.
