October 21st 29th Sunday in ordinary time.
Oh! Christ, always and everywhere, remind us through the
Holy Spirit to come and adore Your living presense in the
tabernacle.
Let us sit or kneel, and just adore, and thank You for Your
love for all of us.
Keep us from getting so busy in our daily life that we
forget that You, and You alone, are the way, the truth, and
the life.
Ask Your loving mother to come and adore with us, so
that we will stay focused on Your true presense.
Inspire us through this adoration to realize that all things
work to good for those who love You.
Give us the faith to always trust You.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SUFFERING SERVANTS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/21/2012
"Through His suffering, My Servant shall justify many." -Isaiah 53:11
Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would not only be the Christ (the Anointed One)
and Emmanuel (God with us), but also God's "Servant." The Servant-Messiah would
transform the world primarily through suffering. This Suffering Servant would be
crushed in infirmity, burdened with all our guilt, afflicted, and put to death
"as an Offering for sin" (see Is 53:10-11). Jesus was the Fulfillment of Isaiah's
prophecy. He came not "to be served but to serve - to give His life in ransom for
the many" (Mk 10:45).
Jesus calls us to follow Him and "serve the needs of all" (Mk 10:44). At first,
we're open to this, but we later want to change our minds as we realize that our
service will also be primarily through suffering. We are tempted to contrive a
Christianity which minimizes suffering. Christianity does remove much suffering by
healing the sick and setting people free from the evil one. However, authentic
Christianity frees us from some sufferings to free us for other sufferings:
rejection, self-sacrifice, and persecution. We must decide whether or not to serve,
suffer, and be a Christian. Be a suffering servant; be a Christian.
Prayer: Father, may I rejoice in the measure I serve and suffer (see 1 Pt 4:13).
Promise: "Let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and
favor and to find help in time of need." -Heb 4:16
Praise: "Exult, you just, in the Lord; praise from the upright is fitting" (Ps 33:1). Alleluia!
Monday ARE YOU SAVED?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/22/2012
"By grace you have been saved." -Ephesians 2:5, RSV-CE
Tuesday A.D. MEANS AFTER DEATH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/23/2012
"This means that you are strangers and aliens no longer." -Ephesians 2:19

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
WITNESS TO GOD'S PRESENCE
May Lebanon continue to be a place where men and women can live in harmony and peace
with each other, in order to give the world not only a witness to the presence of God ...
but also a witness to the communion between people, ... whatever their political, social
or religious standpoint.
PRAYER FOR LEBANON
I pray to God for Lebanon, that she may live in peace and courageously resist all that
could destroy or undermine that peace. I hope that Lebanon will continue to permit the
plurality of religious traditions and not listen to those who wish to prevent it.
"CHOOSE BROTHERHOOD"
I hope that Lebanon will fortify the communion among all her inhabitants, whatever their
community or religion, that she will resolutely reject all that could lead to disunity,
and with determination choose brotherhood.
(Sources: 9/16/12 Mass homily, 9/16/12 Angelus, 9/17/12 departure ceremony, all in Beirut, Lebanon)
