October 28th 30th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, it is good for us to pray for all those who have died and gone before us.
Give us the inspiration to pray especially for those in purgatory who have no one to pray for them.
Let us be aware that those in purgatory depend on us to get them into the glory of heaven through
our prayers, masses, and the charitable acts that we do for there release.
Jesus, continue to grace us to understand that our brothers and sisters who have gone before us
have changed into eternal beings that are now in the communion of saints forever and ever.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday AN EYE-OPENING NOVENA
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/28/2018
" 'Rabboni,' the blind man said, 'I want to see.' Jesus said in reply, 'Be on your way! Your faith has
healed you.' Immediately he received his sight and started to follow Him up the road." -Mark 10:51-52
To live God's Word (see Jas 1:22), we must pray God's Word. I invite you to pray a novena to be free
from spiritual blindness. For nine days, pray: "I want to see" (Mk 10:51).
Most Christians believe that other people, including their spouses, family members, neighbors, and
fellow workers, need to see much better spiritually. The sin, injustice, abortion, racism, and
oppression in our culture of death prove that we live in an epidemic of spiritual blindness.
Nevertheless, we find it difficult to believe that we are spiritually blind or even that we have planks
in our eyes while others may have only specks in theirs (Mt 7:5). We are tempted to react like the
Pharisees when they said to Jesus: "You are not calling us blind, are You?" (Jn 9:40)
You may be so holy that you are not spiritually blind. Yet are you certain that you have 20/20 vision
spiritually? If you're blind to being blind, you are trapped. If you're not sure you have 20/20
spiritual vision, pray the novena to be freed from spiritual blindness. Try to go to Mass daily or as
often as possible. Go to Confession. Pray daily: "I want to see." Invite others to join you. Write and
tell us the good news.
Prayer: Father, in this novena teach me about myself.
Promise: "I will gather them from the ends of the world, with the blind and the lame in their midst."
-Jer 31:8
Praise: Praise the risen Lord, for "by His stripes we were healed" (Is 53:5; 1 Pt 2:24).
Monday DIRTY JOKES

"As for lewd conduct or promiscuousness or lust of any sort, let them not even be mentioned among you;
your holiness forbids this." -Ephesians 5:3
Tuesday MEN OF LOVE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/30/2018
"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church. He gave Himself up for her." -Ephesians 5:25

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WATER AND CARE OF CREATION
JESUS THIRSTS
The Lord continues to ask that His thirst be quenched; He thirsts for love. He asks us to give Him
to drink in all those who thirst in our own day... To give to drink in the global village, does not
only entail personal gestures of charity, but also concrete choices and a constant commitment to
ensure to all the primary good of water.
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.
(Source: Message for World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, 9/1/2018)
