October 19th 29th Sunday in ordinary time.
Oh! Christ, always and everywhere, remind us through the
Holy Spirit to come and adore Your living presense in the
tabernacle.
Let us sit or kneel, and just adore, and thank You for Your
love for all of us.
Keep us from getting so busy in our daily life that we
forget that You, and You alone, are the way, the truth, and
the life.
Ask Your loving mother to come and adore with us, so
that we will stay focused on Your true presense.
Inspire us through this adoration to realize that all things
work to good for those who love You.
Give us the faith to always trust You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday MISSION-MINDED?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/19/2014
"...so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun men may know
that there is none besides Me." -Isaiah 45:6
On this World Mission Sunday, the Church asks us as Christians what our
relationship is to the nations of the world. We must give the nations
what belongs to them (see Mt 22:21). Especially, we must give Jesus to
the nations, for He belongs to all people and we all belong to Him
(see 1 Cor 3:21-23). Therefore, Jesus commands us to "make disciples of
all the nations" (Mt 28:19) and "tell His glory among the nations"
(Ps 96:3). We must "say among the nations: The Lord is King" (Ps 96:10)
so that the "families of nations" may "give to the Lord glory and
praise" (Ps 96:7).
Are you giving the nations their due? Do you pray daily for all nations
"to be saved and come to know the truth?" (1 Tm 2:4) Do you love and
befriend people from other nations in your schools, businesses, and
neighborhoods? Are you praying for yourself and others to become local
or foreign missionaries? Do you give substantial offerings to further
the Church's missionary outreach?
One of Jesus' last and greatest commandments is: "Make disciples of all
the nations" (Mt 28:19). By grace, in love, and for Jesus - do it!
Prayer: Father, send the Spirit to make me a witness for Jesus and a
missionary (Acts 1:8).
Promise: "Our preaching of the gospel proved not a mere matter of words
for you but one of power; it was carried on in the Holy Spirit and out
of complete conviction." -1 Thes 1:5
Praise: Praise be to "our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory be to Him
now and to the day of eternity!" (2 Pt 3:18)
Monday CULTURE-WARS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/20/2014
"That is the way it works with the man who grows rich for himself
instead of growing rich in the sight of God." -Luke 12:21
Tuesday DRY WALL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/21/2014
"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought
near through the blood of Christ. It is He Who is our Peace, and Who
made the two of us one by breaking down the barrier of hostility that
kept us apart." -Ephesians 2:13-14

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.
