August 7th, 19th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, this week, just stop us from our business, and give us the grace to just come
to You and sit in Your presense and adore You.
Help us to get out of the world and just relax with You.
Lord, give us the grace, to let us, let You be the total Lord of our lives.
Help us to realize that we must continue to try to put You as the center of our lives.
Help us to love others as we should love You.
Give us the grace to proclaim You in all of our actions.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday AFRAID TO THINK?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=8/7/2016
"It has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom." -Luke 12:32
Jesus has revealed to us that our future will be a terrible, just punishment forever or
perfect love and happiness forever. This revelation is mind-boggling (to put it mildly).
We have no experience of "forever," and the possibility of everlasting punishment is
overwhelming. Under these circumstances, many people "shut down," "freeze up," and become
spiritually paralyzed. They try to forget about eternity, the very goal of this earthly life.
Before Jesus revealed His final coming, Judgment Day, and the afterlife, He commanded us: "Do
not live in fear, little flock. It has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom"
(Lk 12:32). Because our heavenly Father is the perfect Father, Who is all-powerful Love, we
need not be afraid of anything, including the awesome consequences of our lives on earth. We
can face the most mind-boggling facts because we have a miraculous security grounded in our
heavenly Father's providential love.
Therefore, let us not be afraid of life or the afterlife. Let us face the truth and prepare
for Christ's final coming at any time.
Prayer: Father, I trust You in life, death, and eternity.
Promise: "Faith is confident assurance concerning what we hope for, and conviction about
things we do not see." -Heb 11:1
Praise: Praised be Jesus, the Master of our joy! Alleluia to our risen Savior!

THE VITAL ROLE OF FAMILIES
"DECISIVE FOR THE FUTURE"
The welfare of the family is decisive for the future of the world and that of the Church. (31)
FAMILY CALLINGS
The family is called to join in daily prayer, to read the word of God and to share in
Eucharistic communion and thus to grow in love and become ever more fully a temple in which
the Spirit dwells. (29)
"WE ARE GRATEFUL"
... We are grateful ... for the witness of marriages that have not only proved lasting, but
also fruitful and loving. (38)
