September 14th Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Oh! Jesus, what sorrow can be more painful then a mother
watching her beloved Son die a most horrible death.
This week our church honors Mary of "Lady of sorrows" who
stood at Your cross and saw You die.
Yet her faith was not dimmed, because her trust in the
Father continued.
Please, oh! Jesus, give us some of that faith that we might
continue to face all the problems of life with the faith of Mary.
Lord, let us give You praise and glory throughout our lives.
Lord, let us have the peace that only You can give, and let
Your love guide us always.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "WHEN I BEHOLD THE WONDROUS CROSS..."
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/14/2014
"He humbled Himself, obediently accepting even death, death on a
cross!" -Philippians 2:8
We sing: "When I behold the wondrous cross on which the Prince of
glory died, my richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on
all my pride." At the cross, our values change, and we get in touch
with reality. At the cross, we humble ourselves. Through the cross,
Jesus' name was exalted above every other name (Phil 2:9), and we
who believe in the crucified and glorified Jesus share in His
exaltation. Those who humble themselves at the cross will be
exalted (Mt 23:12).
We sing: "At the cross, at the cross, there's a precious fountain."
When we behold the wondrous cross, we receive the living waters of
the Holy Spirit (Gal 3:1-2). We are bathed in healing (see Nm 21:9),
faith, and eternal life (Jn 3:14-15).
We sing: "Lift high the cross! The love of Christ proclaim." We must
know nothing and say nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified
(1 Cor 2:2). We must boast of nothing but the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ through which we have been crucified to the world and the
world to us (Gal 6:14).
Each day of the rest of your life, prayerfully look at an image of
Jesus on the cross. Let the crucified Jesus speak to your heart.
"Behold the wondrous cross."
Prayer: Father, let me "bear the brand marks of Jesus in my body"
(Gal 6:17).
Promise: "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that
whoever believes in Him may not die but may have eternal life." -Jn 3:16
Praise: "We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You because by Your
holy cross You have redeemed the world."
Monday BREAKING OPEN
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/15/2014
"This Child is destined to be the Downfall and the Rise of many in
Israel, a Sign that will be opposed - and you yourself shall be pierced
with a sword." -Luke 2:34-35
Tuesday A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/16/2014
Jesus "stepped forward and touched the litter." -Luke 7:14

community of close friends and relatives at this critical time in our

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WORLD MISSION DAY
"A PRIVILEGED MOMENT"
World Mission Day is a privileged moment when the faithful of various
continents engage in prayer and concrete gestures of solidarity in
support of the young Churches in mission lands.
"GRACE AND JOY"
It is a celebration of grace and joy. A celebration of grace, because
the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father, offers wisdom and strength to
whose who are obedient to His action. A celebration of joy, because
Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, sent to evangelize the world, supports
and accompanies our missionary efforts.
GOSPEL JOY
"The joy of the Gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter
Jesus. Those who accept His offer of salvation are set free from sin,
sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly
born anew" (Evangelii Gaudium, 1).
(Source: Message for World Mission Day, issued June 8, 2014)
