February 19th Seventh Sunday in ordinary time
This week, oh! Christ, Your church celebrates the feast of the "Chair of St. Peter".
Help us to always give total allegiance to Rome and the heirarchal structure that
makes up Your church.
Help us to be faithful to all the teachings that have been handed down through
the ages.
Lord, grace us to read and know the catechism of the Catholic church, so that
we will know what to believe and why the church teaches what it does.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday LOVING THOSE WHO HURT YOU
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/19/2017
"Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your fellow countrymen. You shall love your
neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord." -Leviticus 19:18
Jesus was asked: "Teacher, which commandment of the law is the greatest?" (Mt 22:36) Jesus
surprised His questioner by mentioning not one commandment but two. He surprised all of
Judaism by maintaining that loving one's neighbor as oneself is the second commandment, and
together with the first commandment forms the basis of the law and the prophets (Mt 22:40).
The Biblical context for the second commandment isn't merely about generally helping out our
neighbors or being friendly to them. In Leviticus 19:18, to love our neighbor specifically
means not bearing hatred toward them, not taking revenge on them, and not cherishing a grudge
against them. So when Jesus was asked to name the greatest commandment, He did not merely add
to the first commandment the command to love our neighbor; He also implied a prohibition
against hating, taking revenge, and cherishing grudges.
Is there anyone you hate? Do you want to get back at someone? Are you holding a grudge? Have
you forgiven from your heart everyone for everything? (Mt 18:35) Do you love your neighbor as
yourself by God's standards? This Lent, be reconciled, forgive, and love your neighbor.
Prayer: Sacred Heart of Jesus, purify my heart this Lent to love the Samaritans and enemies
in my life (Lk 10:29ff).
Promise: "Are you not aware that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells
in you?" -1 Cor 3:16
Praise: Praise You, Jesus, Lord of forgiveness and mercy. You had mercy on those who crucified
You, and You have mercy on each of us. We adore You.
Monday DISTRESS MANAGEMENT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/20/2017
Jesus said "to the crowd, 'What an unbelieving lot you are! How long must I remain with you?
How long can I endure you?' " -Mark 9:19
Tuesday "HOPE IN HIM" (Sir 2:6)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/21/2017
"Study the generations long past and understand; has anyone hoped in the Lord and been
disappointed?" -Sirach 2:10

Dear Lord Jesus, I pray today for all persons who are wounded emotionally and mentally and who find
themselves with much anger in their hearts. May You, our Divine Physician place your healing hands
on them to grant them inner wholeness so that anger departs from them and they are able to be at
peace and at ease. I pray especially for my brother, Ed, who wakes up with much anger in his heart,
may this great obstacle to being a loving person be made gone forever with Your mighty POWER. In
Jesus's mighty name, I pray. AMEN. Thank You, My Lord Jesus. I also pray for your special and
wonderful blessing upon all persons who will be celebrating their birthday. May I feel your mighty

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE SICK AND SUFFERING
MOTHER MARY
Mary, our Mother, in Christ you welcome each of us as a son or daughter. Sustain the trusting
expectation of our hearts, succor us in all our infirmities and sufferings, and guide us to
Christ, your Son and our brother. Help us to entrust ourselves to the Father who accomplishes
great things.
OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT
... The ... World Day of the Sick (Feb. 11) ... is an opportunity to reflect ... on the needs
of the sick and ... of all those who suffer. It is also an occasion for those who generously
assist the sick, beginning with family members, health workers and volunteers, to give thanks
for their God-given vocation of accompanying our infirm brothers and sisters.
RENEWED ENERGY
This celebration likewise gives the Church renewed spiritual energy for carrying out ever more
fully that fundamental part of her mission which includes serving the poor, the infirm, the
suffering, the outcast and the marginalized...
