October 25th 30th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, it is good for us to pray for all those who have
died and gone before us.
Give us the inspiration to pray especially for those in
purgatory who have no one to pray for them.
Let us be aware that those in purgatory depend on
us to get them into the glory of heaven through our
prayers, masses, and the charitable acts that we do
for there release.
Jesus, continue to grace us to understand that our
brothers and sisters who have gone before us have
changed into eternal beings that are now in the
communion of saints forever and ever.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday BLIND FAITH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/25/2015
"Be on your way. Your faith has healed you." -Mark 10:52
The blind beggar Bartimaeus had faith, and Jesus immediately healed him
of blindness (Mk 10:52). Bartimaeus expressed his faith in Jesus vocally,
publicly, and repeatedly, even after he was scolded and told to keep
quiet (Mk 10:47-48).
Bartimaeus also expressed his faith when "he threw aside his cloak,
jumped up and came to Jesus" (Mk 10:50). When a blind man throws away his
cloak, he had better be healed, or he may never find his cloak. Moreover,
a cloak was worth much more in Biblical times, for it was used as
collateral and shelter (Dt 24:12-13).
Bartimaeus expressed his faith by fearlessly (Mk 10:49) coming to Jesus
(Mk 10:50), accepting Jesus as his Rabboni, that is, Teacher (Mk 10:51),
and following Jesus, that is, becoming His disciple (Mk 10:52).
To please God, we must live in faith (Heb 11:6). To live for Jesus and to
love Him with all our hearts, we need faith. To move mountains (Mt 17:20)
and to conquer the world, we must have faith (1 Jn 5:5). To accept the
grace of salvation, we must have faith (Eph 2:8). Have faith as Bartimaeus
had faith.
Prayer: Lord, I have faith. Help my lack of faith (Mk 9:24, our transl).
Promise: "They departed in tears, but I will console them and guide them."
-Jer 31:9
Praise: Praise Jesus of Nazareth (Mk 10:47), Son of David (Mk 10:47, 48),
Rabboni (Mk 10:51), "the Resurrection and the Life" (Jn 11:25), Lord, and
God!
Monday WITH THE SUFFERING JESUS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/26/2015
"If we are children, we are heirs as well: heirs of God, heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with Him so as to be glorified with Him." -Romans 8:17
Tuesday COMPARED TO WHAT?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/27/2015
"I consider the sufferings of the present to be as nothing compared with
the glory to be revealed in us." -Romans 8:18

and that will be one we will be happy and most grateful to have. Fill our
mind with hope and trust so we do not start to worry and lose any hope.

today and each day that You grant us. Amen.
(Diane, Phoenix, AZ, United States, 10/24/2015 2:51:49 PM)
Please pray for one of our twins who is still in my womb. We named him
Andrew. The doctors found severe bleeding and excessive fluid inside his
skull, which is putting pressure and possibly injury/damage to his brain.
Doctors said he might also be anemic now because of the bleeding. They
said that there may be many negative health effects like developmental
delays, problems with breathing & feeding, motor skills issues, seizures,
etc. We are lifting everything up to God and trust in His plan. We humbly
request that you join us in prayer for our baby Andrew..that he will be
healed by Our Merciful God and be touched by Our Lord Jesus Christ..with
the intercession of Mama Mary..and that he as well as his twin sister
Aleah will both be born completely healthy, happy and strong. Thank you
so very much! May God bless us all.

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
SIMPLICITY AND HARMONY
He was a mystic and a pilgrim who lived in simplicity and in wonderful harmony
with God, with others, with nature and with himself. He shows us just how
inseparable the bond is between concern for nature, justice for the poor,
commitment to society, and interior peace. (10)
COMMUNING WITH ALL CREATION
... Whenever he would gaze at the sun, the moon or the smallest of animals, he
burst into song, drawing all other creatures into his praise. He communed with
all creation, even preaching to the flowers, inviting them to "praise the Lord,
just as if they were endowed with reason." (11)
"BONDS OF AFFECTION"
His response to the world around him was so much more than intellectual
appreciation or economic calculus, for to him each and every creature was a
sister united to him by bonds of affection. That is why he felt called to care
for all that exists. (11)
