June 14th Eleventh Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus although we are in ordinary time, no time with You is ever
ordinary.
The fact that we mortals can see You in the Eucharist, sit with You, God,
and receive You in love, is anything but ordinary.
It is an amazing privledge and gift.
You told us that You would be with us always, and so You are.
You constantly call us through the Holy Spirit to come to You and
feel Your love and peace.
Jesus, continue to guide us and keep us sitting and kneeling in Your
presense.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday AWAITING TRIAL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/14/2015
"The lives of all of us are to be revealed before the tribunal of Christ
so that each one may receive his recompense, good or bad, according to
his life in the body." -2 Corinthians 5:10
We are all awaiting trial. Jesus will judge us based on our faith expressed
in action (see Mt 25:31ff). We will be judged according to our fruitfulness
as His stewards (Mt 25:14ff). For instance, Jesus expects those who have
been given five talents to produce five more (Mt 25:15). We are responsible
to bear spiritual fruit - to lead many people to repentance, salvation,
freedom, peace, and life in Christ. We must be fruitful in making disciples
of all nations (Mt 28:19), beginning with our children, grandchildren,
co-workers, friends, fellow parishioners, and neighbors. When we die and
stand trial, the world should be a much better place for our having lived.
Life should be more respected and protected; the poor should have been
given justice and mercy; Christ's kingdom of justice, peace, and joy in the
Spirit should be more established (Rm 14:17).
Many of us don't see an abundant, spiritual fruitfulness in our lives. This
is normal to some degree, for the growth of God's kingdom is invisible at
first (Mk 4:27). Even when we can see it, it is at first as small as a
mustard seed (Mk 4:31). However, if we are attached to Jesus (Jn 15:5) and
if we die to ourselves (Jn 12:24), we will bear abundant fruit and be
judged accordingly. Love the Lord; bear fruit; go to trial; go to heaven.
Prayer: Father, by Your grace may my life amount to something great for Your
kingdom.
Promise: "We make it our aim to please Him whether we are with Him or away
from Him." -2 Cor 5:9
Praise: Praise Jesus, Whose Body and Blood are the "source and summit" of our
lives. Alleluia! Glory to God forever!
Monday LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/15/2015
"As your fellow workers we beg you not to receive the grace of God in vain."
-2 Corinthians 6:1
Tuesday PERFECT LOVE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/16/2015
"Be made perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." -Matthew 5:48

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
HOLY YEAR OF MERCY
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.
TURN TO MARY
...Mary attests that the mercy of the Son of God knows no bounds and
extends to everyone, without exception. Let us address her in the words
of the Salve Regina ... so that she may never tire of turning her
merciful eyes upon us, and make us worthy to contemplate the face of
mercy, her Son Jesus.
(Source: Bull of Indiction of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, April 11, 2015)
