July 13th Fifteenth Sunday in ordinary time
This week oh Christ, Your church celebrates the feast of
"Our lady of Mount Carmel".
Mary, our mother, has given us a very powerful prayer form
that can accomplish marvelous results--the rosary.
For those of us who don't say the rosary everyday, inspire us
to start anew.
Help us to meditate on the mysteries of Your time on earth
and see the love that You constantly showed in doing Your
Fathers will.
Jesus, help us to realize the power of moms intercession to You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE JOY OF SUFFERING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/13/2014
"I consider the sufferings of the present to be as nothing compared
with the glory to be revealed in us." -Romans 8:18
When we suffer, we may take a pill for pain relief. However, Paul
recommends that we pray for a deeper awareness of God's glory. We
need to increase our awareness of God's glory more than decrease
our pain. Then we will consider our suffering as nothing compared
to His glory to be revealed in us. We can even become so aware of
God's glory that we consider suffering a privilege (Phil 1:29),
find our joy in our suffering (Col 1:24), and even rejoice in
proportion to our suffering (1 Pt 4:13).
For most people, their joy increases as their suffering decreases.
For Christians aware of God's glory, our joy increases as our
suffering increases. This is only possible for those deeply aware
of God's glorious presence (1 Pt 2:19). This fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom (Ps 111:10), even of wisdom concerning our
suffering. We find joy in suffering only when we suffer
redemptively through self-sacrifice and persecution.
Most suffering should be removed through repentance, evangelization,
deliverance, and/or healing. Redemptive suffering, however, should
be compared to God's glory and considered nothing (see Rm 8:18). We
should rejoice in redemptive suffering and even seek to increase it
by living totally for Christ.
Prayer: Father, give me the faith and love to pray to share more in
Your sufferings (see Phil 3:10).
Promise: "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it
shall not return to Me void, but shall do My will, achieving the
end for which I sent it." -Is 55:11
Praise: He once was dead, but now He lives (Rv 1:18). Jesus is
Lord! Alleluia!

(Jones, Pudukkottai, Tamilnadu, India, 7/12/2014 5:21:36 PM)
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road
ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I
really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following
your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe
that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I
have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never
do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this
you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about
it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with
me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
(Thomas, South Africa, 7/12/2014 5:03:53 PM)

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE GIFT OF PEACE
""PROFOUNDLY GRATEFUL"
I am profoundly grateful to you for accepting my invitation ... to
join in imploring from God the gift of peace. It is my hope that
this meeting will be a path to seeking the things that unite , so
as to overcome the things that divide.
"FERVENT DESIRE"
It is a meeting which responds to the fervent desire of all who
long for peace and dream of a world in which men and women can live
as brothers and sisters and no longer as adversaries and enemies.
YEARNING FOR PEACE
... Our world is a legacy bequeathed to us from past generations,
but is also on loan to us from our children: our children who are
weary, worn out by conflicts, and yearning for the dawn of peace,
our children who plead with us to tear down the walls of enmity and
to set out on the path of dialogue and peace, so that love and
friendship will prevail.
(Source: Prayer Meeting with presidents Shimon Peres of Israel and
Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine, June 8, 2014, in Vatican City.)
