October 16th, 29th Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, this week Your church celebrates the feast day of St. Luke the evangelist.
St. Luke wrote two books of the new testament that gives us information about the
workings of the early church.
Help us Jesus, to really pray for our church and especially the leaders of the church.
Jesus, let us be prayer warriors for our bishops, priests, and deacons as they lead us to
You.
Let us truly see that the Catholic church is our guide that directs us to eternal life with
You forever.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday PRAYER LINES

"...the necessity of praying always and not losing heart." -Luke 18:1
Jesus teaches us in today's parable to pray in perseverance for our needs (Lk 18:1). Elsewhere
in Scripture, Jesus reveals more about how to pray always with perseverance and power:
Pray by listening to God (Lk 10:38-42).
Pray in a love-relationship with "Abba" (Mt 6:9; Gal 4:6).
Pray with faith. Jesus is always looking for faith (Lk 18:8).
Pray without ever losing heart, that is, not growing weary and not going through the motions of
prayer (Lk 18:1).
Pray the words of Scripture (2 Tm 3:16). Praying the Word of God has powerful force (Jn 10:35).
Pray in confident power with others (Mt 18:19-20; Acts 4:24-31; Ex 17:8-13).
"Pray in the Spirit" (Eph 6:18) using the spiritual gift of tongues. The Holy Spirit directly
intercedes through us in tongues and helps us in our weakness (Rm 8:26).
Pray without ceasing (1 Thes 5:17).
Observe a young couple in love. They spend day after day in each other's presence without
growing weary of each other. Therefore, ask Jesus to give you a new heart (Ez 36:26) and open it
to receive the love He is pouring out through the Holy Spirit (Rm 5:5). Then your prayer will
grow in love instead of growing weary.
Prayer: Father, may I pray not because I want something from You, but always because I want You.
Promise: "All Scripture is inspired of God and is useful for teaching - for reproof, correction,
and training in holiness." -2 Tm 3:16
Praise: Praise Jesus, crucified and risen Lord. All glory, honor, and praise 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
"DEEP JOY"
When mercy encounters a person, it brings deep joy to the Father's heart; for from the beginning
the Father has lovingly turned towards the most vulnerable, because His greatness and power are
revealed precisely in His capacity to identify with the young, the marginalized and the
oppressed ... He is a kind, caring and faithful God who is close to those in need, especially
the poor; He involves Himself tenderly in human reality just as a father and mother do in the
lives of their children...
LEARN TO LOVE
When we welcome and follow Jesus by means of the Gospel and sacraments, we can, with the help of
the Holy Spirit, become merciful as our heavenly Father is merciful; we can learn to love as He
loves us and make of our lives, a free gift, a sign of His goodness...
"LIVES BY THE MERCY OF CHRIST"
The Church ... is ... the community that lives by the mercy of Christ: she senses His gaze and
feels He has chosen her with His merciful love. It is through this love that the Church
discovers its mandate, lives it and makes it known to all peoples through a respectful dialogue
with every culture and religious belief.
