This week, oh! Christ, Your church celebrates a new feast, the "Most Holy Name of Mary".
Jesus, we know that at the mention of Your name every knee in heaven, on earth, and
under the earth must bend to You.
So why is Mary's name most holy?
Is it because of how she loves all her children and intercedes for us always?
Is it because she is the mother of God?
Or is it simply that she is a virgin who gave birth to You, and still remained a virgin?
What ever it is, Mary is our perfect example.
Jesus, this week we also celebrate the triumph of the cross.
Thank You Jesus, for carrying all of our sins to the cross, and thank You for gracing us
to carry our crosses.
Thank You for truly showing us the way to face all the problems of life.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE STREAM OF MERCY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=9/11/2011
"Moved with pity, the master let the official go and wrote off the debt." -Matthew 18:27
All of us reading this should have been condemned to hell forever because of our sins. David
committed one sin and 70,000 people were killed (2 Sm 24:15). That's how high the wages of sin
are and why everlasting hell is just punishment for our sins.
Because of His love for us, the Lord has been rich in mercy (Eph 2:4). Although we have amassed
monumental debts of punishment due to our sins, Jesus' death on Calvary has covered them all.
He has forgiven us, washed away our sins in His Blood, paid the price for our sins, taken our
punishment on Himself, saved us, and redeemed us.
We owe a fantastic debt of gratitude to Jesus. We can never pay this debt, but should try. We
should live no longer for ourselves, but for Him (2 Cor 5:15). We must tell everyone about His
love and mercy, and praise Him always. Especially, we should extend forgiveness and mercy to
those who have hurt us.
After what Jesus has done for us, He expects us to do this. If we who have been forgiven do not
forgive others (Mt 18:35; cf Mt 6:14-15), the Lord will ask us: "Should you not have dealt
mercifully with your fellow servant, as I dealt with you?" (Mt 18:33) "Should a man refuse mercy
to his fellows, yet seek pardon for his own sins?" (Sir 28:4)
Monday SERVE AND DE-SERVE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=9/12/2011
"Upon approaching Jesus they petitioned Him earnestly. 'He deserves this favor from You,' they
said, 'because he loves our people, and even built our synagogue for us.' " -Luke 7:4-5
Tuesday DADS WITH DIGNITY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=9/13/2011
"He must be a good manager of his own household, keeping his children under control without
sacrificing his dignity." -1 Timothy 3:4

MARY-WHO IS SHE IN GOD'S PLAN?
"When the designated time had come, God sent forth His Son born of a woman." -Galatians 4:4
Catholics and the Orthodox maintain Mary is the most important human being in God's
plan, except for her Son, the God-Man, Jesus. Others think that by honoring Mary we
take away from the worship of Jesus. However, Catholics and the Orthodox say Mary

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2011-08.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WITNESS IN THE NEW MEDIA
"THE TRUTH OF CHRIST"
The truth of Christ is the full and authentic response to that human desire for
relationship, communion and meaning which is reflected in the immense popularity
of social networks.
"CHRISTIAN WAY"
When people exchange information, they are already sharing themselves, their view
of the world, their hopes, their ideals. It follows that there exists a Christian way of
being present in the digital world; this takes the form of a communication which is
honest and open, responsible and respectful of others.
