January 19th The second Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, being Your brothers and sisters should always keep us
from ever being ordinary.
We, through prayer and actions, should be stars that shine in
Your heavenly kingdom.
We should be on fire with love for You and love for others.
Please help us to come and adore You in the Eucharist, and
grow in wisdom, and grace, and forgivness.
Help us to be free from the ordinariness of the world and just
be stewards of Your gifts to us.
Help us to love, laugh and really care for others.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday TITLE INSURANCE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/19/2014
"Look! There is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world." -John 1:29
The Holy Spirit inspired St. John to pack his Gospel with titles of Jesus. Praying and
praising Jesus by speaking His titles and meditating upon them is insurance against taking
Jesus for granted. It's a great way to deepen our relationship with Him.
Among other titles, John refers to Jesus as:
.the Word of God (Jn 1:1) and Word-Made-Man (Jn 1:14),
."Lamb of God" (Jn 1:29),
.God's "Chosen One" (Jn 1:34),
.Rabbi, (and also Teacher) (Jn 1:38),
."the Messiah" (Jn 1:41),
.Son of God and King of Israel (Jn 1:18, 49),
."the Son of Man" (Jn 1:51),
."the Bread of Life" (Jn 6:35, 48),
."Light of the World" (Jn 8:12),
."I AM" (Jn 8:28; see also Ex 3:14),
."Lord" (Jn 9:38),
."Good Shepherd" (Jn 10:11, 14),
."the Resurrection and the Life" (Jn 11:25),
."the Way, and the Truth, and the Life" (Jn 14:6),
."the Vine" (Jn 15:5),
."the King of the Jews" (Jn 19:19), and
."my Lord and my God!" (Jn 20:28)
There are many other Scriptural titles of Jesus. These titles combat deception and encourage
truth. Praise Jesus by His titles.
Prayer: Jesus, Lamb of God, I worship You with my whole heart.
Promise: "I will make you a light to the nations, that My salvation may reach to the ends of
the earth." -Is 49:6
Praise: Praise Jesus, "the First and the Last and the One Who lives" (Rv 1:17-18).

Tuesday THE SPIRIT OF LEADERSHIP
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/21/2014

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2014-01.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE GIFT OF LIFE
"THANK THE LORD"
... Let us thank the Lord for the gift of life in all its forms, and at the same time let
us proclaim the Gospel of Life.
"POINTS OF MEDITATION"
... I would like to offer you three simple points of meditation for our faith: first, the
Bible reveals to us the Living God, the God who is life and the source of life; second,
Jesus Christ bestows life and the Holy Spirit maintains us in life; and third, following
God's way leads to life, whereas following idols leads to death.
REALITY SHOW
The Bible shows us the human drama in all its reality: good and evil, passion, sin and its
consequences. Whenever we want to assert ourselves, when we become wrapped up in our own
selfishness and put ourselves in the place of God, we end up spawning death.
