August 16th 20th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week, Jesus, Your church celebrates the queenship of Mary,
as she so rightly deserves.
She was a faithful servant, and a tremendous example of trust
while on earth, and so she should be honored as Queen of
heaven and earth.
Let her intercession continue to cause grace to flow to all
of us.
Let Your love for mom flow also into us, and let us praise,
and glorify You as our Lord, God and King.
Let us see that Your plan of love is constantly working out
in everything, and give us the graces necessary for us to
really trust You every day in every way.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "ALL WERE FILLED WITHTHE HOLY SPIRIT" (Acts 2:4)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=8/16/2015
"Be filled with the Spirit." -Ephesians 5:18
At our Baptisms, we became the temples of the Holy Spirit. The Lord
wants us to be filled with the Spirit (Eph 5:18; see also Acts 2:4).
Paul taught that those filled with the Holy Spirit do the following
four things. They:
address "one another in psalms and hymns and inspired songs" (Eph 5:19),
"sing praise to the Lord" (Eph 5:19) in their hearts,
"give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ" (Eph 5:20), and
"submit to one another out of fear of the Lord" (Eph 5:21, our transl).
Those filled with the Holy Spirit have set their hearts on higher realms
(Col 3:1). In spirit, they inhabit the throne room of God. They have
entered "His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise" (Ps 100:4).
Those filled with the Spirit upbuild, encourage, and submit to those
around them. They can love their neighbor in this way because they love
themselves (Lk 10:27). They love themselves because the Holy Spirit cries
out in their hearts "Abba!" ("Father") (Gal 4:6) Secure in their Father's
love, those filled with the Spirit are a people of praise, thanksgiving,
submission, and love. Accept the grace to be filled and stay filled with
the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: "To the One seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, be praise and
honor, glory and might, forever and ever!" (Rv 5:13)
Promise: "I Myself am the living Bread come down from heaven. If anyone
eats this Bread he shall live forever; the Bread I will give is My flesh,
for the life of the world." -Jn 6:51
Praise: Praise the risen Jesus, Who baptizes us and fills us with the
Holy Spirit! (Mk 1:8)
Monday REBELLIOUS OBEDIENCE?

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

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)
