October 27th 30th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, it is good for us to pray for all those who have
died and gone before us.
Give us the inspiration to pray especially for those in
purgatory who have no one to pray for them.
Let us be aware that those in purgatory depend on
us to get them into the glory of heaven through our
prayers, masses, and the charitable acts that we do
for there release.
Jesus, continue to grace us to understand that our
brothers and sisters who have gone before us have
changed into eternal beings that are now in the
communion of saints forever and ever.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday GOING HOME FROM CHURCH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/27/2013
"Believe Me, this man went home from the temple justified but the other did not."
-Luke 18:14
When you walk out of church today, will you be justified? Or will you walk away sad? (see
Mk 10:22) We are justified, forgiven, and free when we serve God willingly (Sir 35:16).
It is our Sunday obligation to attend church, but we must go beyond this and serve God
willingly if our petition is to reach the heavens (Sir 35:16). Is your Sunday obligation
also a Sunday privilege? If not, you will not leave church justified.
We will go home from church justified and our prayer will pierce the clouds if we are
lowly (Sir 35:17). Jesus, God Himself, was lowly in emptying Himself and becoming a human
being (see Phil 2:7). He was so lowly as to die on the cross for love of us. He is so
lowly as to come to us in Holy Communion under the appearance of bread and wine. If we
humble ourselves, admit we are sinners, and cry out for God's mercy (see Lk 18:13), we
become lowly and justified.
The willing and the lowly go home from church and go home to heaven justified.
Prayer: Father, do whatever You must in me so that You may do whatever You will through me.
Promise: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
From now on a merited crown awaits me." -2 Tm 4:7-8
Praise: Alleluia! Jesus has risen and will raise me from the dead! Alleluia!
Monday PATRON OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/28/2013
Jesus "selected twelve of them to be His apostles...Simon called the Zealot, Judas son of
James, and Judas Iscariot, who turned traitor." -Luke 6:13, 15-16
Tuesday HOPE CHEST
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/29/2013
"Creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but by Him Who once
subjected it; yet not without hope." -Romans 8:20

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND MISSION
URGENT MISSION
It is urgent in our time to announce and witness to the goodness of the Gospel, and
this from within the Church itself. It is important never to forget a fundamental
principle for every evangelizer: one cannot announce Christ without the Church.
WITNESS WITH LOVE
The men and women of our time need the secure light that illuminates their path and
that only the encounter with Christ can give. Let us bring to the world, through our
witness, with love, the hope given by faith.
"MISSIONARY SPIRIT"
The Church's missionary spirit is not about proselytizing, but the testimony of a life
that illuminates the path, which brings hope and love.
