October 15th 28th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, You wanted us to know the depth of Your love, and so You chose St. Margaret Mary
to see Your heart in all of it's tremendous love for us.
You showed her a heart surrounded with thorns, cut and bleeding, yet with a fire coming
from the top of Your heart.
A fire of divine love, and a heart that is beating for us, to show us that life is only
worth living, if our heart and Your heart beat in unison.
We must take on Your heart of love so that we can love, and we can be the person of
Christ to others.
We must have a courageous heart that isn't afraid to stand against the evils of the world.
A heart that is on fire, and ready to bleed if necessary, to further You to all around us.
Thank You Jesus, for Your heart of love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "COME TO THE FEAST" (Mt 22:4)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/15/2017
"He will destroy death forever." -Isaiah 25:8
Fifteen years ago this week, I received a phone call informing me that Father Al Lauer,
founder and long-time author of One Bread, One Body, died. Father Al had been suffering
from cancer of the liver. That same morning, Mass was celebrated in Father's bedroom. The
Word of God came to life in that Mass as today's Scripture readings, which were also
proclaimed in 2002 in the repeating Sunday liturgical cycle, proclaimed the glorious future
that would lie in store for this dying, saintly man of faith. On his last day on earth,
Father heard the Word of God promise him:
- "I shall dwell in the house of the Lord" (Ps 23:6).
- "On that day it will be said:'Behold our God, to Whom we looked to save us! This is the
Lord for Whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that He has saved us!' " (Is 25:9)
- "Tell those who were invited, See, I have My dinner prepared!...Everything is ready. Come
to the feast" (Mt 22:4).
- "My God in turn will supply your needs fully, in a way worthy of His magnificent riches in
Christ Jesus. All glory to our God and Father for unending ages!" (Phil 4:19-20)
"Happy now are the dead who die in the Lord! The Spirit added, 'Yes, they shall find rest
from their labors, for their good works accompany them' " (Rv 14:13). Father's motto in his
parish ministry was: "Fix your eyes on Jesus" (Heb 3:1). We rejoice to know that Father Al's
eyes are forever fixed on Jesus!
Prayer: Father, grant eternal rest to the soul of Father Al Lauer and to all the souls of
the faithful departed.
Promise: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures He gives me repose;
beside restful waters He leads me; He refreshes my soul." -Ps 23:1-3
Praise: Glory and honor to You, Lord Jesus Christ!

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
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
... It is important to ask ourselves certain questions about our Christian identity and our
responsibility as believers in a world marked by confusion, disappointment and frustration, and
torn by numerous fratricidal wars that unjustly target the innocent. What is the basis of our
mission? What is the heart of our mission? What are the essential approaches we need to take in
carrying out our mission?
TRANSFORMING POWER
The Church's mission, directed to all men and women of good will, is based on the transformative
power of the Gospel.
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)
