March 4th Third Sunday of Lent
Jesus, help us to truly have a change of heart this Lenten season.
Have it change us into what You want us to become.
Jesus, sometimes we become too worldly, in our thoughts and actions, and this draws us away from You.
We don't mean to, but we let the world stop us from giving You all the honor and glory that You so
truly deserve.
Help us to focus on You, and let all our thoughts start with, what can I do to please God? will this
action give Him glory?
Jesus, increase our faith.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=3/4/2018
"Jesus would not trust Himself to them because He knew them all. He needed no one to give Him
testimony about human nature. He was well aware of what was in man's heart." -John 2:24-25
Someone told me that the Ten Commandments have never been more disobeyed in the history of the human
race than they are right now. Anytime we put something or someone ahead of God, we break the first
of the Ten Commandments and fall into the sin of idolatry (see Ex 20:3). Regarding the second
commandment, we constantly broadcast taking God's name in vain for millions to hear this sin
(see Ex 20:7). Do we keep holy the Sabbath and the Lord's Day? (Ex 20:8) Do few people work on Sunday?
Do we celebrate Jesus' resurrection each Sunday, or is Sunday a day for the false gods of self, money,
pleasure, and sports?
Are parents being more honored than they used to be? (see Ex 20:12) Do your children obey you better
than you obeyed your parents? In one year in the USA alone, we kill well over nine million babies
through surgical and chemical abortions, yet the Lord forbids us to kill (see Ex 20:13). Are adultery
and fornication things of the past? (see Ex 20:14) Is almost everyone a virgin when he or she gets
married? Is it rare for a married person to cheat on his or her spouse? Do divorced people fall into
sexual sin? Do we need less police, locks, and security because there is less stealing than there used
to be? (see Ex 20:15) Does anyone bear false witness in court, on the job, in conversation, or on TV?
(see Ex 20:16) Are we being taught not to covet, or are we taught to get what we want even if we have
to sin? (Ex 20:17)
Prayer: Father, may I take the plank out of my eyes so that I can get the speck out of others' eyes
(Mt 7:5).
Promise: "For God's folly is wiser than men, and His weakness more powerful than men." -1 Cor 1:25
Praise: Glory to You, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Monday SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=3/5/2018
"Go and wash seven times." -2 Kings 5:10
Tuesday HOW TO WANT TO FORGIVE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=3/6/2018
"My heavenly Father will treat you in exactly the same way unless each of you forgives his brother
from his heart." -Matthew 18:35

You God, Amen.

Lord, I beg You, from the Cross of Your Salvation, to instill an interior disposition of holy
repentance in the heart, mind, body and soul, of each member of God's family. May a constant image of
the Crucified Lord be instilled in the imagination of our intellect (understanding), memory and will;
in each member of, The Body of Christ. (Anonymous, , 3/3/2018 10:19:52 AM)

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-02.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
BE ON FIRE FOR GOD
"MOMENT OF GRACE"
One such moment of grace will be ... the "24 Hours for the Lord" initiative , which invites the entire
Church community to celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation in the context of Eucharistic adoration.
In 2018, inspired by the words of Psalm 130:4, "With you is forgiveness", this will take place from
Friday, March 9 to Saturday, March 10. In each diocese, at least one church will; remain open for
twenty-four consecutive hours, offering an opportunity for both Eucharistic adoration and sacramental
confession.
"COME BACK"
Lent summons us, and enables us, to come back to the Lord wholeheartedly and in every aspect of our life.
JOY AND TRUTH
... I would like ... to help the entire Church experience this time of grace anew, with joy and in truth.
I will take my cue from the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew: "Because of the increase of iniquity,
the love of many will grow cold" (24:12).
