February 15th The Sixth Sunday in ordinary time
This week oh! Jesus, we begin Lent.
Jesus, help us to make this Lent truly a time of conversion and
the start of a new and deeper relationship with You.
Let us really see, through You, what we have to give up or get
rid of from our lives.
Let us give up whatever is keeping us from truly being one in You.
Let Your light of love open our hearts so that we may see You as
our Lord, God, and King of Kings.
Let this Lent truly be the beginning of a new life of love and service.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SCABS AND PUS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/15/2015
"The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 'If someone has on his skin a scab
or pustule or blotch which appears to be the sore of leprosy, he shall
be brought to Aaron, the priest.' " -Leviticus 13:1-2
Do you have a spiritual scab, pustule, or blotch? Do you need inner
healing? A scab is a past hurt beginning to heal but still a touchy
subject. You feel like picking at it or at a certain person and opening
the wound once again. Don't touch the scab. Don't reverse the healing
process.
A pustule is an effect of spiritual infection. You may be infected with
unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, or anger. The pus from these
wounds may be reaching a head. How many times have we innocently started
to talk to others when suddenly they burst forth in a fit of rage,
resentment, and bitterness? Their pustule broke.
A blotch is like an allergic reaction. Did you ever bring up a subject
to which others were allergic? Suddenly there's a tension in the room
and a changed tone of voice. The conversation turns ugly.
These scabs, pustules, and blotches need healing. "Moved with pity, Jesus
stretched out His hand, touched him, and said: 'I do will it. Be cured.'
The leprosy left him then and there, and he was cured" (Mk 1:41-42).
Prayer: "Heal me, Lord, that I may be healed; save me, that I may be
saved, for it is You Whom I praise" (Jer 17:14).
Promise: "Whether you eat or drink - whatever you do - you should do all
for the glory of God." -1 Cor 10:31
Praise: Praise Jesus, Who still carries the nail wounds as a sign of His
great love for us.
Monday THE BEST OR THE REST?

"Abel, for his part, brought one of the best firstlings of his flock."
-Genesis 4:4
Tuesday BLINDING SPEED
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/17/2015
"Are your minds completely blinded? Have you eyes but no sight?"
-Mark 8:17-18

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2015-01.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE SICK AND SUFFERING
"GREAT PATH"
And yet, what a great path of sanctification this is! In those difficult
moments we can rely in a special way on the closeness of the Lord, and
we become a special means of support for the Church's mission.
"HOLY TIME"
Wisdom of the heart means being with our brothers and sisters. Time spent
with the sick is holy time. It is a way of praising God Who conforms us
to the image of His Son, Who "came not to be served but to serve, and to
give His life as a ransom for many" (Mt 20:28).
"OUR WORLD FORGETS"
Occasionally our world forgets the special value of time spent at the
bedside of the sick, since we are in such a rush; caught up as we are in
a frenzy of doing, of producing, we forget about giving ourselves freely,
taking care of others, being responsible for others,. Behind this
attitude there is often a lukewarm faith which has forgotten the Lord's
words: "You did it unto Me" (Mt. 25:40).
