July 22nd 16th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week, oh! Jesus Your church celebrates the feast of St. James, the apostle.
He was an ordinary person, who through Your grace, became a pillar of Your church.
He followed You without question, and gave up all of his known beliefs and was
converted to You.
Jesus, give us that grace to constantly be converted to following You without fear.
Let us be truly Catholic christians, who love all as best they can, and evangelize
by how they live and love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday PEACE TALKS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/22/2018
"It is He Who is our Peace, and Who made the two of us one by breaking down the barrier of hostility
that kept us apart." -Ephesians 2:14
Micah prophesied that the Messiah would not only be peaceful or make peace but that He would be Peace
(Mi 5:4). Moreover, Jesus began the Sermon on the Mount, the quintessence of His preaching, by
proclaiming: "Blest too the peacemakers; they shall be called sons of God" (Mt 5:9). On the night
before He died, Jesus announced that He would leave peace to His disciples in His last will and
testament (Jn 14:27). Considering all this and more, St. Paul came to the conclusion that Jesus "is
our Peace" (Eph 2:14), Who establishes peace (Eph 2:15) and announces "peace to you who were far off,
and to those who were near" (Eph 2:17).
It is clear that Jesus is Peace. But is He your Peace? For this to be so, we must follow Jesus by
making peace through the blood of the cross (Col 1:20). For Jesus to be our Peace, we must accept
Jesus as our Peace by forgiving, loving, and reconciling with everyone, including our enemies. We
make Jesus our Peace at the cross. Take up the cross of Peace, your Peace.
Prayer: Father, give me peace on earth and in heaven forever.
Promise: "I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear
and tremble; and none shall be missing, says the Lord." -Jer 23:4
Praise: Alleluia! Jesus is risen! He has conquered sin and death. Alleluia!
Monday "HOW GREAT THOU ART"

"O My people, what have I done to you, or how have I wearied you? Answer Me!" -Micah 6:3
Tuesday BROTHER GOD

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)
