This Wednesday is "Ash Wednesday".
Jesus, help us to get to mass and proudly wear our ashes as a sign to all that we follow You
and Your church.
Let us fast and abstain not just out of obedience to the church, but rather for the honor
and glory of obeying You.
Christ, You gave us this church, as a guide, to lead us to You, and through the holy spirit,
we are kept from error in all things.
Help us to pray for the Pope and Bishops, and all the clergy, that they may truly lead us to
the eternal kingdom, so some day we can be with You, forever and ever.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday NEW SPRINGS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/19/2012
"See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" -Isaiah 43:19
The Lord is doing something new. He is opening up wells of life-giving waters which have been
closed for many decades (see Gn 26:18). The Lord is also digging new wells (see Gn 26:19-33).
He is giving us waters of new life that we've never had before. The Lord, in His mercy and by
His power, is changing the spiritual landscape and climate. As Pope Paul VI and Pope John
Paul II have prophesied, the Lord is changing the deserts of our culture of death into the
paradise and rivers of a new civilization of love and life.
Therefore, "rejoice in the Lord always! I say it again. Rejoice!" (Phil 4:4) "Go into the
whole world and proclaim the good news to all creation" (Mk 16:15). Make yourself "the slave
of all so as to win over as many as possible" (1 Cor 9:19). "Do all that" you "do for the
sake of the gospel" (1 Cor 9:23). We Christians have the only good news in this world.
Therefore, in love, rejoice in Christ's Good News and share it.
Monday "DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/20/2012
"Mute and deaf spirit, I command you: 'Get out of him and never enter him again!' " -Mark 9:25
Tuesday MARDI GRAS OR LENT?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/21/2012
"Where do the conflicts and disputes among you originate? Is it not your inner cravings that
make war within your members?" -James 4:1

Please loving Father, I come to you to ask that you deliver my son from his tribulations.
May the Holy Spirit descend on him and transform his from a self-centered to a
Christ-centered life. Please help him to follow and succeed in the recovery process and to
make good decisions in life, work and school. We need you, please surround us with your
strength, compassion, mercy, love and please help our family overcome and heal from this
experience. Please be with us every moment of everyday. I love you so much!!!! And BELIEVE,
with all my heart, that all things are possible through You.

Let us be wise and prudent with the use of the tounge, which can build and destroy in the
same sentence. I say let us build up the Kingdom of God here on earth, and not tear it down.
Let us reject the destructive power of satan and his forked tounge which spews lies.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2012-01.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND LOVE
CALLED BY LOVE
Through His love, Jesus Christ attracts to Himself the people of every generation: in
every age He convokes the Church, entrusting her with the proclamation of the Gospel by
a mandate that is ever new.
"GRACE AND JOY"
Faith grows when it is lived as an experience of love received and when it is
communicated as an experience of grace and joy. It makes us fruitful, because it expands
our hearts in hope and enables us to bear life-giving witness...
"THE WITNESS OF CHARITY"
The Year of Faith will ... be a good opportunity to intensify the witness of charity.
(Source: Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei, issued 10/11/2011)
