October 9th, 28th Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, call us to stop.
Stop being so busy.
Stop being so worried or anxious or fearful.
Jesus, call us to trust You.
Help us to realize that nothing happens without Your knowledge.
Jesus, all things work to good for those who love You.
Give us the faith and trust to do that.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday THE 90% CONGREGATION
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/9/2016
"Where are the other nine?" -Luke 17:17
The Samaritan leper ignores Jesus' command to go show himself to the priest. He follows his
heart and not Jesus' order. In so doing, he commits an act of "religious disobedience."
Presumably, when told to go his way by Jesus (Lk 17:19), he does follow Jesus' command and
shows himself to the priests. This was the prescription given for healed lepers in the law
of Moses (Lv 13:9-13). Jesus approves of a grateful heart, telling the healed man that his
faith, expressed by praise and thanksgiving (Lk 17:15, 18), has been his salvation (Lk 17:19).
Jesus also asks the whereabouts of the other nine men (Lk 17:17). Could He be asking the same
question of the congregation in our Mass today? Are most people in your congregation simply
fulfilling their Sunday obligation to obey the Church? Are ninety-percent of the people in
your parish attending Mass on "auto-pilot" to mechanically "pray, pay, and obey"? Jesus works
many healings through reception of the Eucharist, so attending Mass is always a worthy act,
even if done mechanically.
The word Eucharist means "thanksgiving." Therefore, praise, glorify, and thank the Lord today.
"Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness" (Col 3:15). Continue to obey the Lord and His Church,
but do so with gladness (Ps 100:2), praise (Ps 98:4), and thanksgiving (Col 3:17). Prostrate
yourself before the Lord and thank Him.
Prayer: Father, let there be an epidemic of praise and thanksgiving in Your Church, "and let
it begin with me."
Promise: "There is no chaining the word of God!" -2 Tm 2:9
Praise: Risen Jesus, I fall on my face at Your feet and speak Your praises. All praise, honor,
thanksgiving, and glory be to You!

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2016-09.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
MISSION AND MERCY
A GIFT FOR ALL
All peoples and cultures have the right to receive the message of salvation which is God's gift
to every person... Missionaries know from experience that the Gospel of forgiveness and mercy
can bring joy and reconciliation, justice and peace.
LEARN FROM MARY
May Holy Mary, sublime icon of redeemed humanity, model of missionaries for the Church, teach
all men, women and families, to foster and safeguard the living and mysterious presence of the
Risen Lord in every place, He who renews personal relationships, cultures and peoples, and who
fills all with joyful mercy.
"DISTINCT LIGHT"
The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, which the Church is celebrating, casts a distinct light on
World Mission Sunday 2016 (October 16): it invites us to consider the missio ad gentes as a
great, immense work of mercy, both spiritual and material... All are invited to "go out" as
missionary disciples, each generously offering their talents, creativity, wisdom and experience
in order to bring the message of God's tenderness and compassion to the entire human family...
