PM eNewsletter Second Sunday of Lent

March 4th, Second Sunday of Lent


Jesus, please open our hearts, souls and minds to truly understand what we are supposed to
do for You this Lent.

Lent is a time for introspection, and a time to understand the path that we are on.

Jesus, help us to see the direction that we are truly taking on our journey to You.

Help us to commit to really becoming a new creation in, to and through You.

Let this Lent be a new begining in our lives, and let this Lent correct any faults that we
need to correct.

Thank You Jesus, for Your love.

Amen and Amen.


Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections

Sunday LISTEN UP
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/4/2012

"A cloud came, overshadowing them, and out of the cloud a voice: 'This is My Son, My
Beloved. Listen to Him.' " -Mark 9:7

Even the most committed Christian is not listening to the Lord much of the time. Those we
call "holy" may be merely less disobedient than others. We are so compromised with our
secular, pleasure-seeking lifestyle that we filter out much of what God is saying. We
listen to God just enough to give ourselves the false impression that we usually listen to
God. We need to be shaken up and break out of this rut of disobedience. We need to
experience Jesus in a completely new way so we will listen to Him in a completely new way.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Ps 111:10).

I remember not listening seriously to my father, but then I saw him at his place of
employment. I had never seen him in these circumstances. He was clearly a man of God, of
faith, and of courage. He was transfigured in my eyes. I had never seen my dad in that way.
From that point on, I listened to him as I had never done before.

We're not taking Jesus seriously. We seem unaware of His divinity. We don't listen to Him,
His Word, and His Church. To listen to Him, we must see Jesus new and transfigured to break
out of the rut of disobedience. "Listen to Him" (Mk 9:7).

Monday OPENING THE DOORS TO THE SUPERNATURAL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/5/2012

"For the measure you measure with will be measured back to you." -Luke 6:38

Tuesday BETTER DEAD THAN RED
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/6/2012

"Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow; though they be crimson
red, they may become white as wool." -Isaiah 1:18

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


CHANGED LIVES

"Faith working through love" (Gal 5:6) becomes a new criterion of understanding and
action that changes the whole of man's life...


LOVE AND EVANGELIZATION

It is the love of Christ that fills our hearts and impels us to evangelize... He
sends us through the highways of the world to proclaim the Gospel to all the peoples
of the earth...


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.

(Source: Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei, issued 10/11/2011)
