Jesus, help us to truly be doing what You really want us to do.
Let us get to daily mass as often as we can, help us to say rosarys and chaplets of mercy.
Help us to really read Your word and contemplate it.
Help us to fast and abstain not because its the law, but rather out of love for You.
Help us to help others, especially those who really don't have anyone to help them.
Let us be instruments of peace in this troubled world.
Let us be prayer warriors, for all the needs of the church, and all those in our lives.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday WHY LENT?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/26/2012
"You are now saved by a baptismal bath." -1 Peter 3:21
By far the greatest day of your life was the day of your Baptism. On that day, you became
a new creation (Gal 6:15), "begotten from above" (Jn 3:3), born again "of water and Spirit"
(Jn 3:5). Because of your new nature, you became adoptable into God's family. You became a
son or daughter of God (Jn 1:12), a member of Christ's Body (1 Cor 12:12), and a temple of
the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19). The Lord made a covenant of love with you (see Gn 9:9). You
made a pledge "of an irreproachable conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ"
(1 Pt 3:21). Original sin was washed away.
However, for many Christians, Baptism does not seem the greatest day of their lives, the
event at which they received the power to transform the world. This is because Christians
are not living their Baptisms. This tragedy is the basis of almost all other tragedies.
Therefore, the Church has developed a most ambitious, international program for the renewal
of our Baptisms. On Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday, in every Catholic Church in the entire
world, all Catholic Christians will be asked to renew their baptismal promises. In order
for this to be a true renewal, we prepare for it by forty days of fasting, prayer, and
penance.
Observe Lent. Then at Easter Mass, commit yourself totally to the Lord. Love Him more
deeply than ever before. Renew your baptismal promises and change the world.
Monday THE CHAIN OF COMMANDS

"You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord." -Leviticus 19:18
Tuesday "IF I HAD A HAMMER"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/28/2012
"[My word] shall not return to Me void, but shall do My will, achieving the end for which I
sent it." -Isaiah 55:11

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
FAITH AND CHARITY
Faith without charity bears no fruit, while charity, without faith would be a sentiment
constantly at the mercy of doubt. Faith and charity each require the other, in such a
way that each allows the other to set out along its respective path.
RECOGNIZE JESUS
Through faith, we can recognize the face of the risen Lord in those who ask for our
love... It is faith that enables us to recognize Christ and it is His love that impels
us to assist Him whenever He becomes our neighbor along the journey of life.
"AUTHENTIC AND LASTING"
... May this Year of Faith make our relationship with Christ the Lord increasingly firm,
since only in Him is there certitude for looking to the future and the guarantee of an
authentic and lasting love.
(Source: Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei, issued 10/11/2011)
