This week, oh Jesus, we celebrate the birthday of Your church.

Continue to send down upon us, Your fire of love.

Let Your Spirit continue to set us on fire with faith, and give us
the graces that we will need to help spread the truth and
necessity of Your church.

Let Your church have freedom throughout the world.

Protect the Pope and all the clergy and religious.

Let us pray that all Catholics see You truly in the gift of the
Eucharist.

Let us all adore You.

Amen and Amen.

Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections



Sunday SUBMARINE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/24/2015


"It was in one Spirit that all of us, whether Jew or Greek, slave or
free, were baptized." -1 Corinthians 12:13

On Pentecost, after praying for nine days (see Acts 1:14), we "receive
the Holy Spirit" (Jn 20:22). In fact, we are "filled with the Holy
Spirit" (Acts 2:4). Better than that, we are baptized in the Spirit
(Acts 1:5), that is, we are immersed in the Spirit. We not only drink
the waters of the Spirit but, in a spiritual sense, we are under and
stay under these waters.

Living under the waters of the Spirit is a new life. Naturally, when we
go under water, we can't breathe, but, supernaturally, being under the
waters of the Spirit is the only way we can breathe fully. However, we
are tempted to come up out of the waters of the Spirit for another
whiff of the polluted air of the world and the flesh. "The flesh lusts
against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh" (Gal 5:17). However,
we must resist these temptations and stay immersed in the Holy Spirit.
"When men have fled a polluted world by recognizing the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, and then are caught up and overcome in pollution once more,
their last condition is worse than their first" (2 Pt 2:20).

On this Pentecost, take the plunge and live under the baptismal waters
of the Holy Spirit.


Prayer: Holy Spirit, fill me, surround me, and submerge me.

Promise: "No one can say: 'Jesus is Lord,' except in the Holy Spirit."
-1 Cor 12:3

Praise: Praise You, Abba, for sending the Holy Spirit. Praise You, risen
Jesus, for baptizing us in the Holy Spirit (Mk 1:8). Praise You, Holy
Spirit, for filling the whole world and renewing the face of the earth!
(Ps 104:30)



Monday HOPE-LOSS?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/25/2015


"He encourages those who are losing hope." -Sirach 17:19



Tuesday THE SACRIFICE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/26/2015


"The just man's sacrifice is most pleasing, nor will it ever be forgotten."
-Sirach 35:6

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp



Lord Jesus,please grant all my heart desires before the end of this
month may..AMEN!
(AMAKA E., nigeria, lagos, Nigeria, 5/23/2015 6:23:43 PM)

Thank you father for another day here on earth and for my heart surgery
being a success. My father in your son's precious name I pray for
forgiveness of all my sins.Especially the one that haunts me every day
Lord.The only way I can be freed from this sin is to have a great
financial miracle but one large enough to pay this debt and to care for
my family and friends.Please pray for Amos,Maria,Carlos,both Willys and
Brandy to have understanding in my situation. Ask and ye shall receive
I am ready for this great blessing Lord.Please please please bless me
father and please do not take me from my children.In your son Jesus
most precious name I pray. Amen
(Teresa, , 5/23/2015 6:09:05 PM)

As we approach Pentecost, let us ask The Holy Spirit to over-shadow us
as we pray for Traditional Marriage; the union of one man and one woman
as God intended. Come Holy Spirit let us not despair! Let us also pray
for the intercession of Saint Anne, Saint Joachim and The Holy Family;
Jesus, Mary and Joseph to pray for families during this persecution of
the Church.
(Ken, Texas, , 5/23/2015 5:57:36 PM)

Heavenly Father, I don't quite know how to pray for this one problem,
perhaps simply ask You to bring love back into the lives of those
following ISIS and other terrorist groups. Help them see the evil and
the sin in what they do. Help them understand killing to gain territory
is wrong and those who teach them be dealt with as You see fit, Father.
Please bring love into the hearts of all evil people and may they find
You my Lord. In Jesus name I pray, Amen
(Anonymous, , 5/23/2015 5:27:35 PM)

Father forgive me for blaming my husband for the tax problems we are
having. He works hard but he's just not paid what he's worth. He is a
hard worker and always taken care of me. I just am worried over the bill
we got today in the mail. I pray You will please help us get this paid.
We have so many bills. Please allow us a financial blessing as I'm unable
to work and two can't live cheaper than one as some think. Please ease
the load from my sweet husbands back and bring blessings into his life.
I also ask that You please bless and help my grandson. He's in need of a
job...again. We can't help him, only to feed him. And please bring a
nice Christian girl into his life so he will stop seeing this older woman
with kids who's divorce isn't final. Bless my daughter who is going
through her own trials. She has nothing to do with us and that breaks our
heart. Help her, heal her and bring her love back to us. I love You
Father and I thank You. In Jesus name I pray to You Lord.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2015-05.asp?navlink=latest

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church


HOLY YEAR OF MERCY



"ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL"

It is absolutely essential for the Church and for the credibility of her
message that she herself live and testify to mercy. Her language and her
gestures must transmit mercy, so as to touch the hearts of all people and
inspire them ... to find the road that leads to the Father.


THE FATHER'S MERCY

Merciful like the Father ... is the "motto" of this Holy Year. In mercy,
we find proof of how God loves us... Day after day, touched by His
compassion, we also can become compassionate towards others.


"BURNING DESIRE"

It is my burning desire that, during this Jubilee, the Christian people
may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. It will be a way
to reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face of poverty.



(Source: Bull of Indiction of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, April 11, 2015)
