June 5th, Tenth Sunday in Ordinary time
Jesus, as we see the beauty of the world around us, open our eyes to see the beauty of
the Eucharist.
Let us see in the consecrated Host, Your true self.
Let us truly realize that this gift of Your continued love, is really, and truly,
present in the consecrated bread and wine.
Let us come to adoration, and if our church doesn't have adoration, let us ask that we
be able to come, and sit before the tabernacle, and worship and glorify You.
Let us sit in prayerful silence at Your true presence.
Let us offer our lives as vessels to bring peace in our homes, and in the world around us.
Let us be totally Yours in all of our thoughts, words, and actions.
Let us be seen as disciples of Christ, at home and in the work place.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday FIRSTHAND

"I assure you, brothers, the gospel I proclaimed to you is no mere human invention. I did
not receive it from any man, nor was I schooled in it." -Galatians 1:11-12
Unlike St. Paul, we have received the gospel from other men and women. Most of us have been
schooled in it, possibly having gone to Catholic school eight, twelve, or more years. Like
Paul, however, we must base our personal relationship with Jesus not on what others have
said, but on who we say He is (Mt 16:15). We must not just know about Jesus; we must know
Jesus. Many of our Catholic school graduates know hundreds of facts about Jesus. (And it's
good they do.) Nonetheless, those facts do not come alive until they know Jesus personally.
We may know hundreds of things about a celebrity, politician, or superstar. Yet that
completely differs from knowing them personally.
A famous evangelist once visited a church that was sick, had stopped breathing, and died
(1 Kgs 17:7). He remarked: "What this church needs is someone who has a first-hand
experience of God." They were singing and praying from their prayer books, but not from
their hearts or personal experience. The Lord has pity on the neediest of all, those who do
not know Him personally. He wills to touch the coffins of their lives and bid them get up
(Lk 7:14).
Prayer: Jesus, may I seek a deep personal relationship with You. May You be more real to me
than my very self.
Promise: "God has visited His people." -Lk 7:16
Praise: Praise You, risen Jesus, our Brother, for raising us to new life in You. Thanks be
to God!

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
GOD'S MERCY
MERCY TRANSFORMS
God's mercy transforms human hearts; it enables us, through the experience of a faithful
love, to become merciful in turn.
THE MIRACLE OF MERCY
In an ever new miracle, divine mercy shines forth in our lives, inspiring each of us to love
our neighbor and to devote ourselves to ... the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
WORKS OF MERCY
These works remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant to help
our neighbors in body and spirit: by feeding, visiting, comforting and instructing them. On
such things we will be judged. For this reason, I expressed my hope that "the Christian
people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy; this will be a way to
reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face of poverty, and to enter more
deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience of God's mercy"
(Misericordiae Vultus).
