October 13th 28th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week, Lord, You showed us Your most precious Sacred Heart
by appearing to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.
You told us to adore You by meditating on Your heart of love,
and by having Your heart displayed prominently in our homes.
Please Lord, help all people to realize what a blessing it is
to be able to look at Your Sacred Heart, and see the fire of
love, the crown of thorns, and the blood of forgiveness,
coming from Your heart.
Let us feel the peace of Your love, and help us to get the
continued graces that we need to face all the challenges
of life.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday TRANSFER OR TRANSFORM?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/13/2013
"He returned with his whole retinue to the man of God." -2 Kings 5:15
After Naaman was healed of leprosy, he returned to give thanks to Elisha by offering him
a gift. Elisha refused the gift and sent Naaman home to Syria (2 Kgs 5:16, 19). However,
that wasn't the end of the story. Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, caught up with Naaman,
falsely reported that his master changed his mind about accepting Naaman's gift, and
then took the gifts for himself (2 Kgs 5:20ff). Because of Gehazi's greed and lying,
Naaman's leprosy was not taken away. It was merely transferred from Naaman to Gehazi
(2 Kgs 5:27).
Many people experience the same thing. Sin, sickness, and bondage are transferred, even
when they seem to be removed. For example, even when we die, we have passed on some of
our sicknesses genetically to our descendants. Worse than this, even when we repent of
sin, we see our sins springing up in our children, friends, and others whom we have
influenced. For example, when an alcoholic quits drinking, his children may start
drinking. When a problem is seemingly resolved in one situation, the same problem
springs up somewhere else. When we realize this, we are naturally depressed.
Is there any hope? Jesus is our Hope. Jesus transferred all sins onto Himself on Calvary.
"It was our infirmities that He bore, our sufferings that He endured" (Is 53:4). "Upon
Him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by His stripes we were healed" (Is 53:5).
"The Lord laid upon Him the guilt of us all" (Is 53:6). Return to Jesus, so sin and its
effects won't return to you.
Prayer: Father, by faith and repentance may I keep my old fallen nature buried, never to
return.
Promise: "One of them, realizing that he had been cured, came back praising God in a loud
voice. He threw himself on his face at the feet of Jesus and spoke His praises." -Lk 17:15-16
Praise: Alleluia! Jesus is risen! He lives forever in glory!

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND MISSION
PREACH THE GOSPEL WITH COURAGE
This year, as we celebrate World Mission Day, the Year of Faith, which is an
important opportunity to strengthen our friendship with the Lord and our journey as a
Church that preaches the Gospel with courage, comes to an end.
"EXPERIENCE THE JOY"
Everyone should be able to experience the joy of being loved by God, the joy of
salvation! It is a gift that one cannot keep to oneself, but it is to be shared. If
we want to keep it only to ourselves, we will become isolated, sterile and sick
Christians.
"CONSTANT COMMITMENT"
The proclamation of the Gospel is part of being disciples of Christ and it is a
constant commitment that animates the whole life of the Church.
