PM eNewsletter 22nd Sunday in ordinary time

August 30th 22nd Sunday in ordinary time.


Jesus, seasons change, and we see life changing, but one
thing never changes and that is Your steadfast love for us.

Lord, help us to recognize that, and feel that love.

Lord, help that love give us the graces that we need to live
in true christian faith, faithful to You and Your ordained
leaders.

Lord, help us to trust the wisdom that You give the Pope
and his bishops, and let us grow in the knowledge that
Your Holy Spirit guides Your church in the continued truth.

Lord, let us trust our priests and deacons as emissarys of You.

Lord, help us all to pray for the ordained as they also struggle
with the problems of life as we do.

Amen and Amen.

Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday HOW TO RECEIVE A GIFT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=8/30/2015


"Every worthwhile gift, every genuine benefit comes from above,
descending from the Father." -James 1:17

Our Father wants to give us a "worthwhile gift," a "genuine benefit."
He will give us this gift as He gave us the gifts of birth and rebirth
(see 1 Pt 1:23). The Father will gift us through a word spoken in truth
(Jas 1:18). If we listen to this word (Jas 1:19) and act on it
(Jas 1:22), we will receive our gift.

For example, the Father may want to give you the gift of health. He may
give you this gift by speaking a word, such as: "Repent!" Possibly some
patterns in your life are sinful and are hurting your health. If you
listen to this word, you are on your way to receiving the gift of health.
You must "strip away all that is filthy, every vicious excess"
(Jas 1:21). These things obstruct your spiritual hearing. Then you will
hear God's call to repent. Finally, if you act on this word by going to
Confession and accepting God's grace to repent, you will have received
God's gift of health.

This is only one example. It helps us see how God gives gifts through
words to which we must listen and act on. What gifts does your Father
want to give you? What words have "taken root in you?" (Jas 1:21) Are
you "quick to hear" (Jas 1:19)? Are you humbly welcoming these words?
(Jn 1:21) Are you acting on this word, or deceiving yourself? (Jas 1:22)
Receive God's gifts!


Prayer: Father, let me receive so many of your gifts that people ask me
about them. May I then tell them about Your love.

Promise: "What great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the
Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call upon Him?" -Dt 4:7

Praise: "God freed Him from death's bitter pangs, however, and raised
Him up again, for it was impossible that death should keep its hold on
Him" (Acts 2:24). Alleluia!



Monday ON FIRE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=8/31/2015


"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me." -Luke 4:18



Tuesday ON GUARD!
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/1/2015


"You are not in the dark, brothers, that the day should catch you off
guard, like a thief." -1 Thessalonians 5:4

We must make this our daily prayer to Our Lady Of Guadalupe for an end
to the killing of those who have no voice; the innocent unborn in the
most cruel and barbaric way, the scope of which we are now learning
surpasses the current persecution of Christians in the Middle East by
number and method. This legalized evil must come to an end! Prayer to
Our Lady for an end to abortion Our Lady of Guadalupe with Your unborn
Child; Jesus... You appeared to Juan Diego and said: "Here I shall
listen to their weeping and their sorrows." "I shall take them all to
my heart, and I shall cure their many sufferings, afflictions, and
sor-rows." We consecrate all abortion mills, pharmaceutical companies,
elected and appointed officials in the Americas and around the world,
and the United Nations to You.Take them all to Your Heart....

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


"JOYFUL CALL"

The time has come for the Church to take up the joyful call to mercy
once more. It is time to return to the basics and to bear the weaknesses
and struggles of our brothers and sisters. Mercy is the force that
reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to the
future with hope.


"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.
