October 18th 29th Sunday in ordinary time.
Oh! Christ, always and everywhere, remind us through the
Holy Spirit to come and adore Your living presense in the
tabernacle.
Let us sit or kneel, and just adore, and thank You for Your
love for all of us.
Keep us from getting so busy in our daily life that we
forget that You, and You alone, are the way, the truth, and
the life.
Ask Your loving mother to come and adore with us, so
that we will stay focused on Your true presense.
Inspire us through this adoration to realize that all things
work to good for those who love You.
Give us the faith to always trust You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday PAINS-TAKING PRAYER?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/18/2015
"You do not know what you are asking." -Mark 10:38
The Lord commands us to "confidently approach the throne of grace to
receive mercy and favor and to find help in time of need" (Heb 4:16).
When we do this, however, we should try to understand the implications
of what we are asking (Mk 10:38). If we ask for many to be justified
and saved, we are also asking that we share in Christ's redemptive
sufferings (Is 53:11; Col 1:24). If we pray for the will of the Lord
to be accomplished through us, we are also asking for the grace to
give our lives as offerings for sin (Is 53:10). If we ask to be great
and do great things for God's kingdom, we are also praying to be the
servants, even the slaves, of all (Mk 10:43-44).
When we pray the "Our Father," the general intercessions at Mass, or
other prayers, the Lord will question us before answering our prayers.
He asks: "Can you drink the cup I shall drink or be baptized in the
same bath of pain as I?" (Mk 10:38) How will we answer? Prayer and
pain often go together. Look at Jesus, the crucified Intercessor.
Considering the fact that prayer is often done in the shadow of the
cross, it's no wonder that so few pray seriously and powerfully. Do we
love others so much that we will not only pray for them but also
suffer with Jesus for them? Will you drink the cup?
Prayer: Jesus, may I spend an hour in prayer daily even if I have to
pray as You did in the Garden of Gethsemani prior to Calvary.
Promise: "The Son of Man has not come to be served but to serve - to
give His life in ransom for the many." -Mk 10:45
Praise: Praise Jesus, Who became the Suffering Servant of all! Alleluia!
Glory to our victorious Lord!
Monday LOOK "ON THE FAITH OF YOUR CHURCH"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/19/2015
"The words, 'It was credited to him,' were not written with him alone in
view; they were intended for us too. For our faith will be credited to us
also if we believe in Him Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead."
-Romans 4:23-24
Tuesday THE SHOCK OF OBEYING GOD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/20/2015
"Ears open to obedience..." -Psalm 40:7

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2015-09.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI AND CREATION
"A JOYFUL MYSTERY"
Rather than a problem to be solved, the world is a joyful mystery to be
contemplated with gladness and praise. (12)
"OUR COMMON HOME"
... St. Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister
with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to
embrace us. "Praise be to You, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth,
who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with colored
flowers and herbs." (Canticle of the Creatures) (1)
A GREAT EXAMPLE
I believe that Saint Francis is the example par excellence of care for the
vulnerable and of an integral ecology lived out joyfully and authentically
... He was particularly concerned for God's creation and for the poor and
the outcast. He loved, and was deeply loved for his joy, his generous
self-giving, his openheartedness. (10)
