October 21st 29th Sunday in ordinary time.
Oh! Christ, always and everywhere, remind us through the Holy Spirit to come and adore Your living
presense in the tabernacle.
Let us sit or kneel, and just adore, and thank You for Your love for all of us.
Keep us from getting so busy in our daily life that we forget that You, and You alone, are the way,
the truth, and the life.
Ask Your loving mother to come and adore with us, so that we will stay focused on Your true presense.
Inspire us through this adoration to realize that all things work to good for those who love You.
Give us the faith to always trust You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday TAKING IT PERSONALLY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/21/2018
"The Lord was pleased to crush Him in infirmity." -Isaiah 53:10
Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be "pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins" (Is 53:5).
Jesus was crushed because "the Lord laid upon Him the guilt of us all" (Is 53:6). One person's
guilt can cause him or her to collapse (see Hos 14:2) or even be crushed. Imagine (if you can) all
the weight of all the guilt of all sins of every person who has lived or will ever live. Imagine
this weight pressing upon one person at one time. Then you can understand why "so marred was
[Jesus'] look beyond that of man, and His appearance beyond that of mortals" (Is 52:14). Jesus
suffered on the cross more than can ever be imagined.
Jesus died because of our sins. Consequently, each of us is partly responsible for Jesus' brutal
death (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 598). Nevertheless, Jesus suffered dreadfully and died
for each of us personally. Therefore, the least we can do is to:
* live lives of thanksgiving to our crucified Savior,
* love Him "with all [our] heart, with all [our] soul, with all [our] strength, and with all [our]
mind" (Lk 10:27),
* tell as many people as possible about the One Who has loved us even to death on the cross
(see Phil 2:8), and
* be eager to die a martyr's death in imitation of Jesus.
When a person comes to the realization that he partly caused Jesus' death and was perfectly loved
by Jesus in His death, that person lives no longer for himself, "but for Him Who for their sakes
died and was raised up" (2 Cor 5:15). Enter the new life of the crucified Jesus (Gal 2:19).
Prayer: Father, send the Holy Spirit so that I will take Jesus' crucifixion and death personally.
Promise: "The Son of Man has not come to be served but to serve - to give His life in ransom for
the many." -Mk 10:45
Praise: All praise and thanksgiving to You, Jesus our Savior. We adore You now and forever.
Monday FILTHY RICH OR GODLY RICH?

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-09.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WATER AND CARE OF CREATION
"SISTER WATER"
... I feel the need to give thanks to God for "Sister Water", simple and useful for life like nothing
else on our planet. Precisely for this reason, care for water sources and water basins is an urgent
imperative... We urgently need shared projects and concrete gestures that recognize that every
privatization of the natural good of water , at the expense of the human right to have access to this
good, is unacceptable.
PURIFICATION AND LIFE
For us Christians, water represents an essential element of purification and of life.
FOLLOWING JESUS
Jesus ... promised a water capable of quenching human thirst for ever. He prophesied, "If any one
thirst, let him come to Me and drink (Jn 7:37). To drink from Jesus means to encounter Him personally
as the Lord, drawing from His words the meaning of life. May the words He spoke from the cross - "I
thirst" (Jn 19:28) - echo constantly in our hearts.
(Source: Message for World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, 9/1/2018)
