June 17th the eleventh Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, we are now in ordinary time, and we can get so busy doing life, that we forget that
in You there is no ordinary time.
Just extraordinary love and grace, to help us to live in extraordinary ways.
Jesus, You are the way, the truth, and the life, and only in You will we ever find rest for
our souls.
Help us, oh! Christ, to feel the love that You have for us, and so be able to help others
to find Your love as they see You in us.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday TREES
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/17/2018
"And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, bring low the high tree, lift high the
lowly tree, wither up the green tree, and make the withered tree bloom." -Ezekiel 17:24
The Bible begins with the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gn 2:9). It
ends with the trees of life on the banks of the river of life-giving waters in heaven (Rv 22:1-2).
Ezekiel described the Messianic kingdom as a majestic cedar tree on a high mountain (Ez 17:22-23).
In contrast, Jesus described His kingdom in a much less impressive way as being like a mustard tree
or shrub (Mk 4:32). Finally, the early Church referred to Jesus' cross as a tree (see Acts 13:29).
The cross is the ultimate tree of life bridging Genesis to Revelation, the beginning to the end,
earth to heaven, and humanity to God. The tree of the cross is the fulfillment of the Messianic
prophecies. It is the means of establishing God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. It is the
way to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Prayer: Father, may the sight of a tree make me think with gratitude of Your Son's cross.
Promise: "We walk by faith, not by sight." -2 Cor 5:7
Praise: Praise You Jesus, our Life, Love, and risen Lord God. You are "the Author of Life"
(Acts 3:15). We rejoice in You!

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-05.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
CALLED TO HOLINESS
A PATH OF HOLINESS
Let the grace of your baptism bear fruit in a path of holiness. Let everything be open to God; turn
to Him in every situation. Do not be dismayed, for the power of the Holy Spirit enables you to do
this ... In the Church, holy but made up of sinners, you will find everything you need to grow
towards holiness. The Lord has bestowed on the Church the gifts of scripture, the sacraments, holy
places, living communities, the witness of the saints and a multifaceted beauty that proceeds from
God's love ... (15)
YOUR MISSION
A Christian cannot think of his or her mission on earth without seeing it as a path of holiness, for
"this is the will of God, your sanctification" (1 Thess 4:3). Each saint is a mission, planned by
the Father to reflect and embody, at a specific moment in history, a certain aspect of the Gospel.
(19)
JESUS IS THE KEY
That mission has its fullest meaning in Christ, and can only be understood through Him. At its core,
holiness is experiencing, in union with Christ, the mysteries of His life. (20)
