July 7th 14th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, you told us that You were the way, the truth
and the light.
Help us to come to the desire to follow You.
Bring us into a union of communion with You.
Lift us out of our fear and stress, and let us truly
become disciples of Yours.
Help us to let go of this world, and realize that this
world will pass away, but You and heaven will never pass away.
Let us see You in the breaking of the bread, and truly
realize that You are truly present in the consecrated bread
and blood.
Set us on fire with love of You, the Triune God, give us
internal peace.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday CROSSED UP
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/7/2013
"Henceforth, let no man trouble me, for I bear the brand marks of Jesus in my body." -Galatians 6:17
Jesus died for our sins. If we had not sinned, there would have been no need for Jesus'
sacrificial death on Calvary in atonement for our sins. In other words, when we commit
sexual sin, gossip, eat too much, refuse to evangelize, or don't forgive, we are directly
involved in Jesus' passion and death (see Catechism, 598).
All Christians accept the fact that our sins and Jesus' death are related, but for many
this is only an idea or theological abstract. The Holy Spirit, however, will change that
by convicting us of our sins (Jn 16:8) and taking us to the cross. Here we will
experience deeply how our sins wounded Jesus even to death. The sins of the world will no
longer amuse or entertain us (see Prv 10:23). We will be crucified to the world and the
world to us (Gal 6:14).
This personal experience of the cross is not necessarily a mystical experience. The Holy
Spirit may merely give us insight into the harm of subtle influences on our lives. The
result of this will be a profound alienation from the sinful ways of the world. We will
intensely hate sin (see Sir 17:21) and love sinners, as the Lord does.
Prayer: Father, send the Spirit to convict me of sin and alienate me from the ways of the
world.
Promise: "The harvest is rich but the workers are few; therefore ask the Harvest-Master
to send workers to His harvest." -Lk 10:2
Praise: "Let all on earth worship and sing praise to You, sing praise to Your name," Lord
Jesus! (Ps 66:4) Alleluia!
Monday THE INTIMACY OF THE SACRAMENTS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/8/2013
" 'If only I can touch His cloak,' she thought, 'I shall get well.' " -Matthew 9:21
Tuesday PRIZE FIGHT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/9/2013
"You shall no longer be spoken of as Jacob, but as Israel, because you have contended with
divine and human beings and have prevailed." -Genesis 32:29

What Happens When You Fall in Love
"All of us, gazing on the Lord's glory with unveiled faces, are being transformed from
glory to glory into His very image by the Lord Who is the Spirit." -2 Corinthians 3:18
Jesus promised to be with us always even to the end of the world (Mt 28:20). At the
Last Supper, He said: "This is My body," "This is My blood" (Mk 14:22, 24), and "Do
this as a remembrance of Me" (Lk 22:19). After receiving the Holy Spirit, the early
Church began to realize ..............................................

Please pray that I would find a way out of a negativity problem I am going through. It affects
me in different ways. Please pray for a solution for me., especially in me. Thanks.
(Anonymous, United States, 7/6/2013 8:47:58 PM)
Please pray for me for healing from anxiety and depression, and other physical maladies.
Medication for anxiety is causing IBS; so I need a miracle from the Lord so I don't have to be
taking it any more. Halleluijah! Also pray for greater finances, a safe place to live, a
purpose for my life and hope, faith, and trust in God and His love for ome. Pray for all my
friends and family members and whatever their greatest need might be right now. Thank you.
(Barbara, Portland, OR, United States, 7/6/2013 7:31:43 PM)

Jesus, Mary, I Love You, Please Save Souls. Amen. (Anonymous, 7/6/2013 4:12:33 PM)
One pair of hands healed the cripple, gave hearing to the deaf, gave sight to the blind,
casted out demons, raised the dead, Instituted Eucharist ( so we would have the physical
presence of God), and were then pierced and nailed to a Cross, to save our souls. Jesus's
hands were opened in generosity, because His heart was opened to us, out of His great love,
for us. God made Himself a "Gift" to us. Now what are we going to do with this "Gift". So, now
ask the Holy Spirit, how to move forward with this knowledge of God, by becoming a "gift" for
God, through sainthood.,,,,Do we believe at the core of our being, Jesus is The Lord and He can
heal and forgive us. And, He is leading us,,,,,,

Thank you Lord for answering my prayer to protect my daughter as she travels. You kept her safe
even though she was in an accident just a few miles from home. Her car can be replaced but she
can not. All Glory and Honor is yours Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2013-06.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE HOLY SPIRIT
"THE SPIRIT OF UNITY"
... The Holy Spirit would appear to create disorder in the Church, since He brings the
diversity of charisms and gifts; yet all this, by His working, is a great source of
wealth, for the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of unity, which does not mean uniformity, but
which leads everything back to harmony.
NOT A CONFLICT
... If we let ourselves be guided by the Spirit, richness, variety and diversity never
become a source of conflict, because He impels us to experience variety within the
communion of the Church. Journeying together in the Church, under the guidance of her
pastors who possess a special charism and ministry, is a sign of the working of the Holy
Spirit.
"VERY DANGEROUS!"
Having a sense of the Church is something fundamental for every Christian, every
community and every movement. It is the Church which brings Christ to me and me to Christ;
parallel journeys are very dangerous!
(Source: Homily, Mass with ecclesial movements, Pentecost Sunday, 5/19/2013)
