September 28th 26th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week Jesus, Your church celebrates three
great archangels, St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael.
These three angels are shining examples of how You
love us, and protect us, by sending them to be Your
messengers to us, and with all of our own guardian
angels to be with us everyday.
Jesus, Your plan of loving us is so amazing that we
can't really understand it or truly appreciate it.
But that doesn't stop You from giving us help that we
need to get through this life, so that someday we will
come home and spend eternity with you.
Thank You for loving us.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday CHANGING TO BE UNCHANGING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/28/2014
"Afterward he regretted it and went." -Matthew 21:30
Virtuous people should never change "from virtue to commit iniquity,"
or they will die (Ez 18:26). After we tell our heavenly Father that
we will work in His vineyard (see Mt 21:28ff), we should never change
our minds. Jesus said: "Whoever puts his hand to the plow but keeps
looking back is unfit for the reign of God" (Lk 9:62). After we tell
the Lord, our spouses, our children, our families, our brothers and
sisters in Christ, and even our enemies that we love them, we should
never change.
To never change our faith and love, we must make some other changes.
If we don't change and repent of sins, these sins will change us for
the worse. If we don't change and be reconciled with those that we
haven't forgiven, then the poison of unforgiveness will change, warp,
and destroy our love for God, our spouses, our families, etc. If we
don't let God change some habits in our lives, we will become
enslaved and forced to change what should never be changed.
Our faith and love in Christ will never change, if only we let God
make some major changes in our lives. Change to become unchanging.
Prayer: Father, by Your grace I will change whatever would lead me
to stop loving You.
Promise: "At Jesus' name every knee must bend in the heavens, on the
earth, and under the earth, and every tongue proclaim to the glory of
God the Father: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!" -Phil 2:10-11
Praise: Praise Jesus, unchangeable (see Mal 3:6) and risen Rock of my salvation!
Monday GOD'S SWAT TEAM
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/29/2014
"Although the dragon and his angels fought back, they were overpowered and lost
their place in heaven." -Revelation 12:7-8
Tuesday THE "SLEEP BOOK"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/30/2014
"For then I should have lain down and been tranquil; had I slept, I should then
have been at rest." -Job 3:13

Lord Jesus, mighty healer, faithful God, you know everything, nothing
is impossible for you. My daughter who lives in another country has a
problem with her facial skin. She needs divine wisdom of the Holy
Spirit to eat a balanced diet, sleep well (inspite of working on shifts)
and grow spiritually. Lord, please make this possible in her life,
take away from her any anxiety or worry and fill her with peace. Send
your spirit of healing upon her even as she experiences your comfort,
your closeness, your tender love for her. Bless her always and keep her
safe as she is in the medical field and needs your protection at all
times. Amen
(Anonymous, 9/27/2014 8:10:52 AM)

continue to pray for this request. Thank you.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2014-09.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
MOTHER CHURCH
CAN'T DO IT ALONE
... One does not become Christian by oneself, that is, through one's
own effort, autonomously; neither are Christians made in a laboratory,
but they are created and they grow in the faith within that great body
which is the Church.
"BEAUTIFUL TO SAY"
In this sense the Church is truly mother, our Mother Church - it is
beautiful to say it this way: our Mother Church - a mother who gives
us life in Christ and who lets us live with all the other brothers and
sisters in the communion of the Holy Spirit
MARY IS THE MODEL
In her motherhood, the Church has the Virgin Mary as a model, the most
beautiful and lofty model that there could be.
