October 14th 28th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week, Lord, You showed us Your most precious Sacred Heart by appearing to St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque.
You told us to adore You by meditating on Your heart of love, and by having Your heart displayed
prominently in our homes.
Please Lord, help all people to realize what a blessing it is to be able to look at Your Sacred
Heart, and see the fire of love, the crown of thorns, and the blood of forgiveness, coming from
Your heart.
Let us feel the peace of Your love, and help us to get the continued graces that we need to face
all the challenges of life.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday GIVE UP
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/14/2018
"Jesus answered: 'I give you My word, there is no one who has given up home, brothers or sisters,
mother or father, children or property, for Me and for the gospel who will not receive in this
present age a hundred times as many homes, brothers and sisters, mothers, children and property -
and persecution besides - and in the age to come, everlasting life.' " -Mark 10:29-30
We will either give up our lives for love of Jesus, or we will give up hope. We will either
abandon ourselves to Him or we will despair as life becomes impossible. One way or the other, we
will give up.
To give up our lives to Jesus, we must be set free from our addiction to self. This can be done
only by receiving God's love. Naturally, we desperately cling to our lives with the clenched fists
of selfishness. Only by God's love can we unclench our fists, open our hands, and let our lives
fall into the hands of God (see Heb 10:31). In today's Gospel reading, before Jesus told the young
rich man to give up everything and follow Him, He looked at the man with love (Mk 10:21).
At this moment, Jesus is looking at each one of us with His divine, crucified love. If we look
into the eyes of Love, we will be impelled by love to live no longer for ourselves but for Him
(2 Cor 5:14-15). Be loved by Love into love. Stunned by love, drop everything and give up your life
to Him Who is Love (1 Jn 4:16).
Prayer: Father, make Your love the root and foundation of my life (Eph 3:17).
Promise: "God's word is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates and
divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the reflections and thoughts of the heart."
-Heb 4:12
Praise: Alleluia! Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life (Jn 11:25). All glory be to Him!

together as family, we were a very close family. My bother and his wife have ten kids, but his last two
who are twin don't know me, cause im never over there anymore. pray for my children who struggle with
there faith, they see what goes on in the world and want that. I wasn't always the best role model for

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WATER AND CARE OF CREATION
LITTERED SEAS
We cannot allow our seas and oceans to be littered by endless fields of floating plastic... Our
active commitment is needed to confront this emergency. We need to pray as if everything depended
on God's providence, and work as if everything depended on us.
PRAYERFUL HOPE
It is my prayerful hope that Christian communities may contribute more and more concretely helping
everyone to enjoy this indispensable resource, in respectful care for the gifts received from the
Creator, and in particular rivers, seas and oceans.
SIMPLE AND PRECIOUS
... Water ... is a very simple and precious element, yet access to it is, sadly, for many people
difficult if not impossible. Nonetheless, "access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal
human right, since it is essential to human survival and ... is a condition for the exercise of
other human rights. Our world owes a great social debt towards the poor who lack access to drinking
water, because they are denied the right to a life consistent with their inalienable dignity"
(Laudato Si', 30).
