July 8th 14th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, you told us that You were the way, the truth and the light.
Help us to come to the desire to follow You.
Bring us into a union of communion with You.
Lift us out of our fear and stress, and let us truly become disciples of Yours.
Help us to let go of this world, and realize that this world will pass away, but You and heaven
will never pass away.
Let us see You in the breaking of the bread, and truly realize that You are truly present in
the consecrated bread and blood.
Set us on fire with love of You, the Triune God, give us internal peace.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday ENOUGH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/8/2018
"My grace is enough for you." -2 Corinthians 12:9
Alleluia! Every Sunday is Resurrection day, the weekly celebration of that first Easter morning when
Jesus rose from the tomb, triumphed over sin and death, and made all things new for us. Today is a
day of unity, when believers from all over this earth gather to worship almighty God, listen to His
living, all-powerful Word, and receive the Bread of Life, Jesus Himself. Today we learn again that
God loves us so much that He can never give us enough of His blessings. Alleluia!
How wonderful is God's plan for this day! Yet occasionally someone in our acquaintance will say "I've
had enough of this church," rather than, "God's grace is enough for me." One reason for this
difference is revealed in today's psalm response. When our eyes are fixed on Jesus as Lord in a
spirit of humility (see Ps 123:2; Heb 12:2), then we are opened to His mercy and grace. When we take
our focus off of the Lord, then God is not enough to satisfy us; instead, we turn elsewhere for
satisfaction.
Today, as you observe the Lord's day in all its splendor, "examine yourselves" (2 Cor 13:5). "What
are you looking for?" (Jn 1:38) "Are the consolations of God not enough for you?" (Jb 15:11)
Prayer: Father, You bless us with more than enough good things (Lv 25:21). Thank You, my Lord, my God,
my All.
Promise: "Therefore, I am content with weakness, with mistreatment, with distress, with persecutions,
and difficulties for the sake of Christ; for when I am powerless, it is then that I am strong."
-2 Cor 12:10
Praise: Praise Jesus, Who finished the work of our salvation and brought victory to mankind.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

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)
