July 29th 17th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week, oh! Jesus, Your church celebrates a great saint and a great gift.
St. John Vianney was a priest who loved You so much, that You gave him gifts that made
him a great confessor.
He would hear confessions up to 16 hours a day.
And his knowledge of the sins of the people in his confessional was fantastic.
We also celebrate Your showing 3 of Your apostles Your true self in the transfiguration.
You become glowing in appearance and conversed with Moses and Elijah.
Thank You Jesus, for glowing with love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday FEELINGS OF INADEQUACY?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/29/2018
"What good is that for so many?" -John 6:9
The world, the flesh, and the devil - the three traditional enemies of Christians - try to
brainwash us into trivializing our lives. Our enemies want us to believe that it doesn't matter
how we spend our time, energies, thoughts, money, or lives.
One technique often used to make us think our lives are meaningless is to show us our inadequacy.
Satan shows us the immensity of our culture of death - mass abortions, gross injustices, millions
starving, and centuries of violent oppression and unforgiveness. Under these conditions, we feel
inadequate as if our lives are only "drops in the bucket" (see Is 40:15). We are tempted to think
that giving our lives or wasting our lives has about the same effect.
However, Jesus, the Truth (Jn 14:6), denies the lies regarding our inadequacy. He promises to
multiply lives totally given to Him (see Jn 6:8ff). Then our lives will feed and free the masses.
Jesus makes our lives more than adequate. "Through Him, with Him, and in Him," our lives become
life-changing, earth-shaking, and eternally important.
Therefore, give your life totally to the Lord and His people (see 2 Kgs 4:42, 43). The only
multipliable life is the one totally given to Him. Give totally and live powerfully.
Prayer: Father, prevent me from wasting my life by withholding part of it from You (see Lk 9:24).
Promise: "Make every effort to preserve the unity which has the Spirit as its origin and peace as
its binding force." -Eph 4:3
Praise: Praise Jesus, "the Resurrection and the Life" (Jn 11:25), whose name is exalted above the
heavens! Alleluia!
Monday THE BOOK

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-07.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
LIVING THE BEATITUDES
"PEER INTO THE DEPTHS"
The Gospel invites us to peer into the depths of our heart, to see where we find our security
in life. (67)
"NO ROOM"
Wealth insures nothing. Indeed, once we think we are rich, we can become so self-satisfied that
we leave no room for God's word, for the love of our brothers and sisters, or for the enjoyment
of the most important things in life... We miss out on the greatest treasure of all. That is why
Jesus calls blessed those who are poor in spirit, those who have a poor heart, for there the
Lord can enter with His perennial newness. (68)
"USELESS COMPLAINING"
If we are constantly upset and impatient with others, we will end up drained and weary. But if
we regard the faults and limitations of others with tenderness and meekness, without an air of
superiority, we can actually help them and stop wasting our time on useless complaining. (72)
