Jesus, You have given us a gift that is way far above ordinary.
The Eucharist, Your true Body and Blood, this fantastic gift, is so unimaginable, so
beautiful, so real.
And we have the privledge to come and sit or kneel in Your true presense.
We can just spend time with the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, the power of the universe.
And that, Jesus, is anything but ordinary.
Thank You for Your love and presense.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SOW THE WORD CONSTANTLY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/10/2011
"A farmer went out sowing." -Matthew 13:4
How often have you heard a Scripture passage twenty times and on the twenty-first time you
hear it, the Holy Spirit makes the passage finally "jump off the page"? You receive a profound
new insight into the meaning of the passage. The Word of God comes alive for you.
The Holy Spirit does this work in us. The Spirit is also working the same way in the hearts of
others. That's why we must constantly sow the Word of God (Mt 13:4). The Word that we sow
might be that twenty-first time the Holy Spirit requires to touch a person's heart. Our sowing
might be that juicy bait the Lord uses to finally catch a hungry soul He has been working on
for years (see Lk 5:4). Our evangelizing might be the seed that next year will produce a harvest
thirty-, sixty-, or a hundredfold (Mt 13:8).
A farmer sowing seed can't see what's under the surface of the soil. A fisherman usually can't
see what's under the surface of the water, though sometimes he might get a glimpse. When we
evangelize for Jesus, if we go only by what we see on the surface, we might make a wrong
judgment and decide not to drop a line or plant a seed. We might miss a good catch or a
fruitful harvest, even in an unlikely place, if we don't try to evangelize.
God spreads the seed and the water everywhere in today's readings. God never stops sowing,
and He always gets results (Is 55:11). The Lord doesn't go by what is on the surface
(see 1 Sm 16:7). We must do the same, and sow the Word of God in all places, even those that
seem unlikely for success.
Monday THE WORD AND WORDS OF GOD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/11/2011
"He who brings himself to nought for Me discovers who he is." -Matthew 10:39
Tuesday "I DO NOT NEED YOU" (1 Cor 12:21)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=7/12/2011
"There was a baby boy, crying!" -Exodus 2:6

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2011-06.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE WORD OF GOD
MARY AND GOD'S WORD
In our day the faithful need to be helped to see more clearly the link between Mary
of Nazareth and the faith-filled hearing of God's word... Mary is the image of the
Church in attentive hearing of the word of God ... Mary also symbolizes openness
to God and others; an active listening which interiorizes and assimilates, one in
which the word becomes a way of life.
NEVER FORGET
We must never forget that all authentic and living Christian spirituality is based on
the word of God proclaimed, accepted, celebrated and meditated upon in the Church.
