October 1st 26th Sunday in ordinary time.
Merciful Christ, You continue to show Your love for us by how You take care of us.
You have given each of us a guardian angel to be with us through out our lives.
To intercede, and guide, and protect us, thank You for Your love.
We are also blessed, and shown the way to live by such great Saints as St. Francis of
Assisi, who gave up everything to be totally Yours.
Jesus, give us the grace and courage to let go of all the things that stop us from
being free to love You with our whole being.
Let us truly realize that only in You will we ever find rest and joy.
Thank You for our mother Mary, and thank You for the gift of the rosary.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday HIS ATTITUDE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/1/2017
"Your attitude must be that of Christ." -Philippians 2:5
We can have not only the heart and mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16) but also His attitude.
Christ's attitude was to empty (Phil 2:7) and humble "Himself, obediently accepting even
death, death on a cross!" (Phil 2:8) The Lord's attitude is "gentle and humble" (Mt 11:29).
He came to serve, not to be served (Mt 20:28). He tells us to take the lowest place
(Lk 14:10). The Lord "guides the humble to justice, He teaches the humble His way"
(Ps 25:9). The Lord teaches us to "think humbly of others as superior" to ourselves and to
look "to others' interests rather than" our own (Phil 2:3, 4).
The Lord's attitude is graphically expressed by the manger in Bethlehem, the cross on
Calvary, and by offering Himself to us under the appearances of bread and wine. Jesus'
attitude is humble, obedient, unselfish, crucified, glorified, astounding, and mysterious.
Amazingly, the Lord commands and graces us to have in us the same attitude that is in Him
(Phil 2:5). Get His attitude!
Prayer: Father, send the Holy Spirit to give me the attitude of Jesus.
Promise: "If a wicked man, turning from the wickedness he has committed, does what is
right and just, he shall preserve his life; since he has turned away from all the sins
which he committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die." -Ez 18:27-28
Praise: Praise You, risen Jesus, "gentle and humble of heart" (Mt 11:29). Be glorified in
the world through our lives.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2017-09.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND MISSION
NEW LIFE
The Gospel is Good News filled with contagious joy for it contains and offers new life:
the life of the Risen Christ who by bestowing His life-giving Spirit, becomes for us the
Way, the Truth and the Life (cf. Jn 14:6)
JESUS CONTINUES TO ACT
Through the mission of the Church, Jesus Christ Himself continues to evangelize and act...
Through the proclamation of the Gospel, the risen Jesus becomes our contemporary, so that
those who welcome Him with faith and love can experience the transforming power of His
Spirit...
A CRITICAL NEED
The world vitally needs the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through the Church, Christ continues
His mission as the Good Samaritan, caring for the bleeding wounds of humanity, and as
Good Shepherd, constantly seeking out those who wander along winding paths leading to
nowhere.
