November 11th 32nd Sunday in ordinary time
Oh! Christ, sometimes we get so busy in life that we forget to pray unless there is
an emergency.
Please Lord, give us the grace to set aside a time everday to go to our prayer room
and give You praise and glory.
Let us be intercessors for others, and realize all the good we could do for them,
through You, by our prayers.
Let us see that all people are our brothers and sisters, and that we have an
obligation to pray for them.
Let us also pray the news so that those who do harm to others will be saved through
our intercessions and Your love.
Thank You, Jesus, for making us part of Your glorious plan.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday LIFE-GIVING
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/11/2018
"They gave from their surplus wealth, but she gave from her want, all that she had to live on."
-Mark 12:44
God the Father loves us so much that He gave His Son to us (Jn 3:16). Jesus gave His life for us when
He died on the cross. The Holy Spirit gives us charisms, gifts of the Spirit (see 1 Cor 12:4ff).
Because God is the greatest Giver, He teaches us that it is better to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).
Because God is the greatest Giver, Jesus, Who is God, sat down opposite the treasury and observed how
the crowd put money into the treasury (Mk 12:41). Jesus makes a point to observe our giving - not only
at the collection during Mass but in every aspect of our lives.
Because the Lord has given His "all" to us, He commands us to give our "all" to Him. The Lord is not as
interested in how much we give as in how much we have left. He tells us to give all that we have to
live on (Mk 12:44).
Many of us don't mind giving, or we may even enjoy giving something to God and others. Nevertheless, we
are terrified and overwhelmed by the prospect of giving all. Nonetheless, God's grace is sufficient
(2 Cor 12:9). The Lord will grace us to love Him so much that we would be ashamed to give Him less than
everything. Paradoxically, in giving our lives totally to Him we will save our lives
(see Lk 9:24; 1 Kgs 17:15). May our almsgiving be "all-giving."
Prayer: Jesus, You gave Your life for me. I give my life for You.
Promise: "Christ was offered up once to take away the sins of many; He will appear a second time not to
take away sin but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him." -Heb 9:28
Praise: Praise You, risen Jesus! By your death and resurrection, you have given us Life. Alleluia!
Monday "FATHER, FORGIVE" (LK 23:34)
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/12/2018
"If he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times a day turns back to you saying, 'I am sorry,'
forgive him." -Luke 17:4
Tuesday THE MALE-MAN
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/13/2018
"Tell the older men that they must be temperate, serious-minded, and self-controlled; likewise sound in
the faith, loving, and steadfast." -Titus 2:2

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
https://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-10.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE CRY OF THE POOR
GOD'S ANSWER
God's answer to the poor is always a saving act that heals wounds of body and soul, restores justice
and helps to live life anew in dignity. God's answer is also a summons to those who believe in Him to
do likewise, within the limits of what is humanly possible.
"ACTIVE PRESENCE"
The World Day of the Poor wishes to be a small answer that the Church throughout the world gives to
the poor ... lest they think that their cry has gone unheard. It may well be like a drop of water in
the desert of poverty, yet it can serve as a sign of sharing with those in need, and enable them to
sense the active presence of a brother or a sister. The poor do not need intermediaries, but the
personal involvement of all those who hear their cry.
GOD'S SALVATION
God's salvation is a hand held out to the poor, a hand that welcomes, protects and enables them to
experience the friendship they need. From this concrete and tangible proximity, a genuine path of
liberation emerges.
(Message for World Day of the Poor, 6/13/2018, memorial of St. Anthony of Padua)
