June 25th, 2017 12th Sunday in Ordinary time.
Well Jesus, it's summer, and our minds and hearts are starting to focus on vacations and
no school.
Jesus, as we relax this summer, please keep us from relaxing ourselves away from You.
Let us not miss Mass, and let our attention hold totally all during Mass, and let us
worthily receive You in honor and awe.
Let us all realize that the demons don't take off for the summer, and that they are just
as active now as always.
Let us all keep our eyes and ears open to Your word and call.
Let us be truly Your people in all seasons and let us all love others as You love us.
Let us all relax in Your love, and let us be excited that You are among us all the days
of our lives.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday KNOW JESUS - NO FEAR
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/25/2017
"Do not fear." -Matthew 10:28
Jesus gives us at least four commandments in today's Gospel reading:
1. "Do not let them intimidate you" (Mt 10:26).
2. "Do not fear those who deprive the body of life but cannot destroy the soul" (Mt 10:28).
3. "Do not be afraid of anything" (Mt 10:31).
4. "Fear Him Who can destroy both body and soul in Gehenna" (Mt 10:28).
We are fearless of men because we have the fear of the Lord (Sir 34:14). The fear of the Lord
is not only the beginning of wisdom (Ps 111:10) but also of faith, which leads to love. When
love is complete, it casts out all fear (1 Jn 4:18). Thus, the grace of fearlessness comes
from fear of the Lord, faith, and love.
The Lord has not only commanded us to be fearless of men but has shown us how He will give us
the grace of fearlessness. We must cooperate by:
*renewing our Confirmations in which we received the fear of the Lord (see Is 11:2-3),
*growing in faith through hearing God in His Word (Rm 10:17), and
*growing in love through purifying ourselves "by obedience to the truth" (1 Pt 1:22).
Be fearless in Christ.
Prayer: Father, make me miraculously courageous.
Promise: "If by the offense of the one man all died, much more did the grace of God and the
gracious gift of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound for all." -Rm 5:15
Praise: Praise You, Jesus, Son of God, love incarnate, "the Resurrection and the Life" (Jn 11:25).
Monday NOT YET

"To your descendants I will give this land...Then Abram journeyed on." -Genesis 12:7, 9
Tuesday THE GATE, WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/27/2017
"Enter through the narrow gate. The gate that leads to damnation is wide, the road is clear,
and many choose to travel it." -Matthew 7:13

complete recovery. Jesus says if you ask anything in My name I will do it - I ask this in
Jesus' name - Amen - Thank you.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2017-05.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
COMMUNICATING GOOD NEWS
INSTANT NEWS
Access to the media ... makes it possible for countless people to share news instantly
and spread it widely. That news may be good or bad, true or false.
POSITIVE COMMUNICATION
I would like to encourage everyone to engage in constructive forms of communication that
reject prejudice towards others and foster a culture of encounter, helping all of us to
view the world around us with realism and trust.
"VICIOUS CIRCLE"
I am convinced that we have to break the vicious circle of anxiety and stem the spiral
of fear resulting from a constant focus on "bad news" (wars, terrorism, scandals and all
sorts of human failure).
