November 4th Thirty-first Sunday in ordinary time
This week, oh! Jesus, we celebrate the feasts of "All Saints" and
"All Souls" days.
Help us to really make a conscious effort to intercede to the saints,
so that they can intercede for us.
Help us to realize that as they love You, so they also love Your
children living on earth.
Help us also pray for the souls in purgatory, so that they may soon
be released into Your heavenly kingdom where they can spend
eternity in glory and adoration of the triune God.
Thank You for all the saints in heaven and in purgatory.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday ALL OR NOTHING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/4/2012
"The Lord is our God, the Lord alone! Therefore, you shall love the Lord, your God, with
all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these
words which I enjoin on you today." -Deuteronomy 6:4-6
When you ask people if they've given their lives to Jesus, they say "yes." When you ask
if they evangelize, tithe, or read the Bible, they often say "no," as if evangelizing,
tithing, or knowing the Bible were not essential parts of our commitment to Christ. This
does not mean we must be perfect in fulfilling our commitment to Christ, but it does
mean that we must make a total commitment.
The first of all commandments is: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Mk 12:30). The Lord
says the word "all" four times. However, most Christians seem to be surprised when you
tell them "all" means all.
Christianity is all or nothing. Jesus died on the cross and gave everything for us that
we might give everything to Him. If He's not Lord of all, He's not Lord at all. Jesus
can save only our entire life and not parts of it. One-hundred percent is the only
percent Jesus accepts. His kingdom can be purchased only by our "all" (Mt 13:44-46).
Prayer: Jesus, I give You all of me.
Promise: "Therefore He is always able to save those who approach God through Him, since
He forever lives to make intercession for them." -Heb 7:25
Praise: Praise Jesus, "the Resurrection and the Life!" (Jn 11:25) "Praised be the Lord,
I exclaim" (Ps 18:4). Alleluia!
Monday OUT OF COMPETITION
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/5/2012
"Never act out of rivalry or conceit." -Philippians 2:3
Tuesday A MAKE-UP CALL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/6/2012
"At Jesus' name every knee must bend in the heavens, on the earth, and under the earth,
and every tongue proclaim to the glory of God the Father: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!"
-Philippians 2:10-11

Please pray that the forces of evil in my life would be stopped. That the demon of harrasment
and deception will be cast away. I have been going through spiritual battles that may not be
recognizable to others as "spiritual" battle. But I know that there are spirits behind people
who are threat to my son and I. May God win the battle. Please support me in my spiritual
welfare that I may experience victory in Christ.
(E., 11/3/2012 12:19:19 AM)
Fear is useless. LORD please look kindly on the petitions posted and all the requests said

JESUS I trust. Thank you

Father, Son and Holy Spirit for all the kindnesses bestowed on the United States. Dear Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, on behalf of all in the United States of America, I am so very sorry for
having offended YOU. I beg and pray for YOUR forgiveness on the United States. I plead.please
provide the United States of America with leadership and guidance that will bring US back to
the moral foundation established by our forefathers, which in recent years we have strayed so
very far. I pray that YOU give our leadership the strength and courage to defend the
Constitution of the United States and the freedoms that extend from it.. More importantly to

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
"PEACEFUL HEARTS"
May God grant to your country, to Syria and to the Middle East the gift of peaceful hearts,
the silencing of weapons and the cessation of all violence! May men understand that they
are all brothers!
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.
(Sources: 9/16/12 Mass homily, 9/16/12 Angelus, 9/17/12 departure ceremony, all in Beirut, Lebanon)
