March 1st Second Sunday of Lent
Jesus, thank You for giving Your church the understanding to have
this season of Lent.
Thank You Jesus, for the opportunity this gives us to truly look at
ourselves and see what needs to be improved and changed.
Jesus, we can learn to control, but only You can change us.
Jesus, bring us to Your Body in adoration and let us sit and learn.
Let us pray and grow.
Let us feel Your peace and accept You truly as our Lord and God.
Thank You Jesus, for the Eucharist.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday LISTENING POST
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=3/1/2015
"Listen to Him." -Mark 9:7
The Lord is the most important Person in the world to listen to, and
the most important thing He says is: "If a man wishes to come after
Me, he must deny his very self, take up his cross, and follow in My
steps" (Mk 8:34). Nevertheless, although the message of the cross is
the power and the wisdom of God (1 Cor 1:24), we, like the apostles,
find it the most difficult message to hear.
So Jesus led three apostles "up a high mountain. He was transfigured
before their eyes" (Mk 9:2). Light burst forth from Jesus'
transfigured body. Moses and Elijah, who had both been dead for
several centuries, appeared (Mk 9:4). Next, a cloud came and
overshadowed the apostles (Mk 9:7). Out of the cloud, God the Father's
voice announced: "This is My Son, My Beloved. Listen to Him" (Mk 9:7).
The dazzling light, the return of Moses and Elijah from the dead, the
cloud, and the voice were all part of a drama proclaiming emphatically
the necessity of listening to Jesus.
After the Transfiguration, Jesus again talked to His apostles about
the cross. The apostles still didn't listen (Mk 9:31-32). Finally,
they received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Then they listened to
Jesus and carried their crosses daily.
We must listen to Jesus. Otherwise, this day will be wasted or perhaps
even worse. We must listen to Jesus or we will not be able to renew
our baptismal promises at Easter Vigil or Easter Sunday Mass. We must
listen to Jesus or miss out on life now and forever. "Listen to Him"
(Mk 9:7). Come, Holy Spirit!
Prayer: Father, I will listen to You when You tell me to listen to Jesus.
Promise: "Is it possible that He Who did not spare His own Son but
handed Him over for the sake of us all will not grant us all things
besides?" -Rm 8:32
Praise: Praise and honor to Jesus, crucified, risen, and glorified!

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
"WISDOM OF THE HEART"
Wisdom of the heart means serving our brothers and sisters. Job's
words: "I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame", point to
the service which this just man ... offered to those in need. His
moral grandeur found expression in the help he gave to the poor
who sought his help and in his care for orphans and widows
(Job 29: 12-13).
"GENUINE FAITH"
Today too, how many Christians show, not by their words but by
lives rooted in a genuine faith, that they are "eyes to the blind"
and "feet to the lame"! They are close to the sick in need of
constant care and help in washing, dressing and eating., This
service, especially when it is protracted, can become tiring and
burdensome.
NOT EASY
It is relatively easy to help someone for a few days but it is
difficult to look after a person for months or even years, in some
cases when he or she is no longer capable of expressing gratitude.
