November 10th 32nd Sunday in ordinary time
Oh! Christ, sometimes we get so busy in life that we forget to pray
unless there is an emergency.
Please Lord, give us the grace to set aside a time everday to go
to our prayer room and give You praise and glory.
Let us be intercessors for others, and realize all the good we
could do for them, through You, by our prayers.
Let us see that all people are our brothers and sisters, and that
we have an obligation to pray for them.
Let us also pray the news so that those who do harm to others
will be saved through our intercessions and Your love.
Thank You, Jesus, for making us part of Your glorious plan.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "A HAPPY DEATH"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/10/2013
"It also happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested and tortured with
whips and scourges by the king." -2 Maccabees 7:1
Seven brothers were arrested, tortured, scourged, and killed because they would not
compromise their faith (2 Mc 7:1ff). These heroic deaths have inspired and transformed
the lives of many for centuries.
We are all going to die, unless Jesus comes back first. The question is not: "Will I die?"
but "How will I die?" Will my death be a mere statistic? Or will I glorify God by my manner
of death? (Jn 21:19)
Most people think a happy death means dying at an old age and with no pain. God's word says
a happy death has nothing to do with age or pain but it has everything to do with love,
even to death on the cross (Phil 2:8). "The way we came to understand love was that He laid
down His life for us; we too must lay down our lives for our brothers" and sisters
(1 Jn 3:16).
"Happy now are the dead who die in the Lord!" (Rv 14:13)
Prayer: "May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, may God our Father Who loved us and in His
mercy gave us eternal consolation and hope, console your hearts and strengthen them for
every good work and word" (2 Thes 2:16-17).
Promise: "It is my choice to die at the hands of men with the God-given hope of being
restored to life by Him." -2 Mc 7:14
Praise: Praise You, risen King Jesus, enthroned in majesty and glory! I lift up my hands,
heart, and voice to praise You today.
Monday JESUS ON SCANDALS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/11/2013
"Scandals will inevitably arise..." -Luke 17:1
Tuesday IN THE SERVICE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/12/2013
"When you have done all you have been commanded to do, say, 'We are useless servants. We
have done no more than our duty.' " -Luke 17:10

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2013-10.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND MISSION
"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.
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.
