October 20th 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.

Sunday WE MUST PRAY ALWAYS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/20/2013
Jesus "told them a parable on the necessity of praying always." -Luke 18:1
Most people believe in praying, but how many believe in praying always? Even those who
believe that praying always is a good idea don't always believe it's a necessity, but
Jesus does.
Does your life say you believe in "the necessity of praying always"? Do you pray the first
thing in the morning? Do you try to center your day on the Mass? Do you pray the Angelus?
Do you pray not only for people, but with them? Do you pray daily with your spouse, family,
and co-workers? Do you pray on the phone, before you go to bed, etc? With these many times
of formal prayer, you will be in touch with Jesus all day even when you're busy with the
day's activities and can't give Him undivided attention. Thus you will be praying always.
Praying always is a necessity, for some battles are won not only by prayer, but by praying
always. For instance, Moses had to keep praying, or Joshua would not have defeated the
Amalekites (Ex 17:11ff). Prayer is good, but may not be good enough. There is "the
necessity of praying always."
Prayer: Father, may I not lose heart (Lk 18:1), but have the faith (see Lk 18:8) to
consider it a privilege to pray always. Holy Spirit, help me to pray always (see Rm 8:26).
Promise: "All Scripture is inspired of God and is useful for teaching - for reproof,
correction, and training in holiness so that the man of God may be fully competent and
equipped for every good work."-2 Tm 3:16-17
Praise: Alleluia! Jesus is risen as He said! Alleluia!
Monday INDEPENDENCE DAY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/21/2013
"I will say to myself: You have blessings in reserve for years to come. Relax!" -Luke 12:19
Tuesday THE TIDAL WAVE OF GRACE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/22/2013
"Despite the increase of sin, grace has far surpassed it." -Romans 5:20

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND MISSION
MEASURE OF FAITH
The strength of our faith, at a personal and community level, can be measured by the
ability to communicate it to others, to spread and live it in charity, to witness to
it before those we meet and those who share the path of life with us.
"A RENEWED AWARENESS"
The Year of Faith ... motivates the entire Church towards a renewed awareness of its
presence in the contemporary world and its mission among peoples and nations.
"HERALDS OF HIS GOSPEL"
... We are all invited to walk the streets of the world with our brothers and sisters,
proclaiming and witnessing to our faith in Christ and making ourselves heralds of His
Gospel.
