July 1st Thirteenth Sunday in ordinary time.
This week Jesus, open us up to really calling You our Lord and God.
Give us the grace to let go of any fears and problems that stop us from walking with You all
the time.
Let that grace enter into us so strongly that we will be driven to come and sit with You in
adoration and receive Your precious Body and Blood.
Let that grace strengthen us to continue on this journey of life with as much peace of heart
as possible.
Let us become more and more other Christs to all people, let us die to self and so willingly
give to all others.
Thank You for loving and dying for us.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE GOOD NEWS, NOT THE BAD NEWS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/1/2018
"Jesus disregarded the report that had been brought." -Mark 5:36
"He put them all out." -Mark 5:40
Jesus refused to listen to humanity's interpretation of an event. He put the naysayers out of the
room. He disregarded the news that was reported of a girl's death. Jesus saw beyond the externals
and looked at the heart of the matter (see 1 Sm 16:7).
Like Jesus, refuse to allow the world's messengers to force-feed you with what they consider
newsworthy. Rather, make the Good News your home (see Jn 8:31-32). Don't let the bad news of this
world reported by the mega-media conglomerates form and shape you. Be formed and transformed by
the gospel, the Good News. Then, form the world through your transformed life.
Transform the bad news into the Good News by praying the news. Jesus spent far more time listening
to His Father than to the newscasters. We must do the same. Immerse yourself in the Gospels and
"believe the Good News" (see Mk 1:14-15).
Prayer: Father, may I fix my eyes constantly on Jesus (Heb 3:1; 12:2).
Promise: "You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with
gladness." -Ps 30:12
Praise: Praise the risen Jesus, the only Way to the Father (Jn 14:6) and the One Who baptizes us
in the Spirit! (Mk 1:8)
Monday LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/2/2018
"Son and father go to the same prostitute." -Amos 2:7
Tuesday SEE, THEN BELIEVE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/3/2018
"You became a believer because you saw Me. Blest are they who have not seen and have believed."
-John 20:29

Father fill me with your spirit and help me to do your will,in Jesus name we pray Amen.
(Anonymous, , 6/30/2018 6:14:18 AM)
Please pray for me to have faith in God and myself, the strength to make the decisions I need to make
right now, and to do so in the most loving and healing manner for both myself and the other person.
Please help me to know what God wants me to do. Please continue to pray for my husband to leave his
mistress and come home to his son and me. Pray that God can soften his heart to remember his vows, and
that God can put a wedge between him and the mistress creating disharmony.
(Diana J, Honolulu, HI, United States, 6/30/2018 2:16:07 AM)
Our Lady of Lourdes. Please pray to Jesus for Alicia, and for all families facing the death of a loved
one. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen

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
CHOSEN BY THE LORD
...The Lord has chosen each one of us "to be holy and blameless before Him in love" (Eph 1:4). (2)
CONSTANT ADVANCE
The Letter to the Hebrews ... invites us to realize that "a great cloud of witnesses" (12:1) impels
us to advance constantly towards the goal. These witnesses may include our own mothers, grandmothers
or other loved ones (cf. 2 Tim 1:5). Their lives may not always have been perfect, yet even amid
their faults and failings they kept moving forward and proved pleasing to the Lord. (3)
LIVES OF LOVE
We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we
do, wherever we find ourselves. (14)
