November 2nd All Saints
Jesus, help us to realize the make up of our eternal home.
Let us see the saints as inspirations of how to be willing to
live this life in honor and glory of You.
Let us see that You have a plan for all of us that will work
out perfectly.
Let us see in our minds eye how it must look in heaven with
all the saints praising and absolutely loving our triune God.
Let us recommit our lives to praying for all the people who
are still being purified in purgatory, especially those who
have no one to pray for them.
Let us realize that we are the eternal family of God.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday PRAYER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF DEATH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/2/2014
"Those who trust in Him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall
abide with Him in love." -Wisdom 3:9
Today the Church calls us to pray for the dead, since we believe death
does not necessarily mean immediate entry into heaven or hell. The Bible
indicates this when Paul mentions the Corinthian practice of baptizing
the dead by proxy (1 Cor 15:29). Also, Judas' providing sacrifices for
the dead is considered "excellent and noble" (2 Mc 12:43). In addition
to these Scriptural references, the Holy Spirit has taught believers
over the centuries to pray for the dead and has confirmed this practice
by repeated prophecies.
Even so, most people are confused or at least doubtful about praying for
the dead, and therefore we pray only sporadically for the dead, if at
all. The Lord would have us be "clear about those who sleep in death"
(1 Thes 4:13). He does not want us to yield to grief or apathy but wants
us to be clear about praying for the dead and to pray with commitment.
"Do not continue in ignorance, but try to discern the will of the Lord"
(Eph 5:17).
Read the Scriptures we have just mentioned, since faith comes through
hearing the Word of Christ (Rm 10:17). Ask the Spirit to teach you
everything and guide you to all truth (Jn 14:26; 16:13). Don't spend
your time in an interior doctrinal debate but listen to Him. "God is a
God, not of confusion, but of peace" (1 Cor 14:33). Let the Lord speak
to you and show you new things in His Word. He will show us how to pray.
"The Spirit too helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to
pray as we ought; but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us" (Rm 8:26).
Prayer: Jesus, by Your resurrection-victory over death and by the power
of the Holy Spirit, may a dead relative of mine be sanctified completely
and enter Your kingdom.
Promise: "No one who comes will I ever reject." -Jn 6:37
Praise: Praise Jesus, "the Shepherd, the Guardian" of our souls! (1 Pt 2:25)
Praise Jesus, "the Resurrection and the Life!" (Jn 11:25)
Monday NO MORE MIND-GAMES

"Make my joy complete by your unanimity, possessing the one love, united in
spirit and ideals." -Philippians 2:2

Jesus as look for employment grant that the work I will receive is
completly under Your lordship. Grant that I be sure to live life in the
Spirit, and that the Spirit is not stifled in me. For if I live the
open, free, public Christian life, something's got to give. Jesus, rend
the sky and shake the earth (Is 63:19) and in the presence of Your
Spirit my workplace shall convulse by Your mighty power and it shall
draw me in. My office is ready in Your mighty name Lord Jesus. Through
the Spirit, I shall work my way into this new job. Amen.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2014-10.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE CHURCH, MOTHER TO ALL
WITHOUT BORDERS
From the beginning, the Church has been a mother with a heart open to
the whole world, and has been without borders.
"NO ONE IS USELESS"
The Church without frontiers, Mother to all, spreads throughout the
world a culture of acceptance and solidarity, in which no one is seen
as useless, out of place or disposable. When living out this motherhood
effectively, the Christian community nourishes, guides and indicates
the way, accompanying all with patience, and drawing close to them
through prayer and works of mercy.
FAITH RESPONDS TO HUMAN MISERY
The courage born of faith, hope and love enables us to reduce the
distances that separate us from human misery. Jesus Christ is always
waiting to be recognized in migrants and refugees, in displaced persons
and in exiles, and through them He calls us to share our resources, ,
and occasionally to give up something of our acquired riches.
