July 19th Sixteenth Sunday in ordinary time
This week, oh Christ, Your church celebrates a women who, because
of Your forgiving her, became a most devote follower of Yours,
Mary Magdalene.
Because her love was so strong for You, she had the strength and
courage to stand at the foot of the cross during Your crucifixion.
She also was one of the first to see You after Your glorious resurrection.
Give us, oh Christ, the grace to truly see You in the breaking of
the bread, and so be filled with Your presence and love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday HEARTBREAK HOTEL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/19/2015
"Jesus saw a vast crowd. He had compassion on them." -Mark 6:34, our transl.
Some people ruined Jesus' vacation (see Mk 6:31). They wouldn't even let Him
and His apostles rest a little and eat (Mk 6:31). If a crowd of people made
life that difficult for us, we might resent it or be upset. However, Jesus
felt compassion for the crowd and "began to teach them at great length" (Mk 6:34).
Do you have the heart of Jesus for people who demand a lot from you,
inconvenience you, or even hurt you? Are you willing to lay down your life to
feed the sheep? (see Jn 21:17) Jesus is looking for people after His own heart
(Acts 13:22), people with a shepherd's heart (see Jer 3:15).
Jesus gave us a new heart (Ez 36:26) when we were baptized into Him (see Rm 6:3).
However, for that heart to beat with Christ's love even for the most unlovable,
we must daily surrender every detail of our lives to Him. Jesus invites us: "Take
My yoke upon your shoulders and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble of heart"
(Mt 11:29). Are you willing to learn to love with the heart of Jesus? Are you
willing to have your heart broken open for love?
Prayer: Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You.
Promise: "I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock from all the lands to which
I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow; there they shall increase
and multiply." -Jer 23:3
Praise: Alleluia! Jesus is risen! He has conquered sin and death. Alleluia!
Monday STOP SIGN

"We want to see You work some signs." -Matthew 12:38
Tuesday BAPTISM AS LIFE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/21/2015
"The Israelites had marched on dry land through the midst of the sea, with the water
like a wall to their right and to their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel on that
day." -Exodus 14:29-30

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)
