Jesus, time is just going by so fast it seems like just a short time ago it was yesterday.
Help us not to let each day go by without taking time to talk to You, adore You, intercede
to You and just spend time with You.
Let us realize that each day is a call for us to be prayer warriors for all who need prayer.
Let us also pray for the poor souls in purgatory, especially those who have no one to pray
for them.
Let us use each day to be all that You want us to be.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday LIFE AFTER DEATH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/6/2011
"We would have you be clear about those who sleep in death, brothers." -1 Thessalonians 4:13
We can become clear on life after death by listening to the Church. It has listened to the
Spirit, prayed over the Bible, and will give us a clear understanding of life after death.
When we die, we are judged and our spirits immediately go to heaven, hell, or purgatory.
Heaven is God's home where we perpetually worship the Holy Trinity, see Jesus face to face,
and share perfect happiness with all the angels and saints. Hell is a place where those who
have rejected Jesus get what they want. They are eternally separated from God, the Source of
life and joy, and are, therefore, in utter misery. Purgatory is a temporary state where those
who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior are completely sanctified by being forgiven
and purified (Catechism, 1031).
At the end of the world, Jesus will return to this earth. "Those who have died in Christ will
rise first. Then we, the living, the survivors, will be caught up with them in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thes 4:16-17). Everyone will then be judged. On Judgment Day,
those who have died will receive the judgment they had received at their deaths. Their bodies
will be reunited with their spirits in heaven or hell. Those living at Jesus' Second Coming
will be judged and then go to heaven or hell.
When we first become clear about the enormous, eternal ramifications of our decision to accept
or reject Jesus, we may feel disturbed or afraid. However, when we also realize that Jesus
became human and died on the cross to save us, we can be confident about being with Him in
life after death. Jesus wants to take us to heaven. We must only believe in Him and give Him
our lives.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND DISCIPLESHIP
SURRENDER TO GOD
Faith does not simply provide information about Who Christ is; rather, it entails a
personal relationship with Christ, a surrender of our whole person with all our
understanding, will and feelings, to God's self-revelation.
GROWING IN FAITH
...Faith...must become constantly stronger, deeper and more mature, to the extent
that it leads to a closer and more intense relationship with Jesus.
RESPOND TO JESUS
Say to [Jesus]: "Jesus, I know that You are the Son of God, Who have given Your life
for me. I want to follow You faithfully and to be led by Your word. You know me and
You love me. I place my trust in You and I put my whole life into Your hands. I want
You to be the power that strengthens me and the joy which never leaves me."
