"His master said to him, 'Well done! You are an industrious and reliable servant. Since you
were dependable in a small matter I will put you in charge of larger affairs. Come, share
your master's joy!' " -Matthew 25:21
The Lord expects us to be good stewards not only of the money He has given us, but also of
our time, talents, spiritual gifts, and graces. Our greatest responsibility as stewards is
to be "servants of Christ and administrators of the mysteries of God" (1 Cor 4:1). We
Christians have been given new life, a new nature, sonship and daughterhood in God's family,
the forgiveness of our sins, the indwelling of the Trinity, Jesus' Body and Blood in Holy
Communion, the meaning of life, etc. The Lord in His mercy has given us the best and the most.
Therefore, we have the greatest responsibilities of any stewards. "When much has been given a
man, much will be required of him. More will be asked of a man to whom more has been
entrusted" (Lk 12:48).
If we aren't good stewards and don't administer the mysteries the Lord has entrusted to us,
if we don't evangelize, telling the Good News of what God has done for us, Jesus promised to
take away His graces from us and give them to others (see Mt 25:29). We see this happening
as Christians in Europe and the USA lose their faith while new Christians in the third-world
are showered with faith, joy, enthusiasm, power, boldness, healings, miracles, and religious
vocations. When most first-world Christians failed in good stewardship by not evangelizing,
they lost their faith and God poured out His graces on others. However, if we repent and
evangelize, we will see God's graces return.
Monday "I WANT TO SEE"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=11/14/2011
"Jesus asked him, 'What do you want Me to do for you?' 'Lord,' he answered, 'I want to see.' "
-Luke 18:40-41

"He first ran on in front, then climbed a sycamore tree which was along Jesus' route, in order
to see Him." -Luke 19:4

FREE AT LAST
"The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." -2 Corinthians 3:17
Jesus came to set the captives free (Lk 4:18), "to bring out prisoners from confinement, and
from the dungeon, those who live in darkness" (Is 42:7). Jesus died to give us a new Exodus,
freeing us not only from slavery and Pharaoh but from sin, Satan, and death. If Jesus, the
Son of Man, sets us free, .........................

(Ken, Texas, 11/12/2011 5:27:26 PM)
Lord, I come to you in Thanksgiving for all you have given me -- all the prayers that have been
answered whether I know it or not. I know I am weak, but the pain I am in is so great I can hardly
survive it. Please God, I am begging for Divine Justice for SA. He may not have caused my
daughter's tragic death, but he didn't help. He was mean and cruel to her up to and including her
last day on this Earth. Now he is running around with other girls and she is in her grave. Why
does he deserve one moment of happiness after what he did to her? I am not a "widow" or "orphan'
as is mentioned in Scripture, but I am a grieving mother. I cry out to God in my pain for Divine
Justice. He is Catholic and received his Sacraments, so I believe he knows what to do. And please
help me to have the strength to forgive him, as that is becoming more difficult by the day.
(Carol, Arizona, 11/12/2011 1:54:51 PM)
Please Lord Savior King Messiah Jesus-Christ Son of God, please mercifully look upon these prayers
requests on this online prayer room and kindly throw on us all the blessings that we need in our
distress and turmoil. I place S A (You know whom) in your hands and the issues I have with him.
Please bless him, enlighten him, deliver him and guide him. Don't forget me either dear Lord, nor
my family. Intercede for us poor sinners, to the Father, and in Your Mercy, grant us the blessings
that we are awaiting from You and most of all those that are needed. Glory to God the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit. AMEN! Praise to You Lord Jesus-Christ! Thank You!

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2011-09.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND DISCIPLESHIP
JESUS AND THE CHURCH
...Following Jesus in faith means walking at His side in the communion of the Church. We cannot
follow Jesus on our own. Anyone who would be tempted to do so...will risk never truly
encountering Jesus, or will end up following a counterfeit Jesus.
MUTUAL SUPPORT
Having faith means drawing support from the faith of your brothers and sisters, even as your
own faith serves as a support for the faith of others.
WITNESS FOR JESUS
Friendship with Jesus will...lead you to bear witness to the faith wherever you are, even when
it meets with rejection or indifference.
(Souce: Message for World Mission Sunday, 1/6/11)
