November 18th 33rd Sunday in ordinary time
This week, Oh! Christ, Your church celebrates the "Presentation of Mary".
Let us see in this feast that Your plan of our redemption was unfolding in a very simple yet
concise way.
Mary, our mother, the "new ark of the covenant" was brought to God so as to be sealed in His
love.
Mary, our mother, was always and still is, full of grace, and her intercession is very
powerful, for all of us.
We have a loving, caring mother who loves us and prays for us all.
Jesus, give us the grace to realize Your love, and the means we can use to get the help we need
to reach Your kingdom in heaven, some day, thank You Jesus.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "HE IS NEAR" (MK 13:29)
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/18/2018
"Then men will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. He will dispatch His
angels and assemble His chosen." -Mark 13:26-27
In these last two weeks of the Church year, the Church pays special attention to the Second Coming of
Christ. Focusing on Jesus' return in power is critical for our life in Christ and our spiritual
well-being.
Some readers of One Bread, One Body live in foreign countries and are actively persecuted for their
faith in Jesus. Some of our foreign printers and distributors risk their lives regularly to spread
God's Word. If you "face death every day" (1 Cor 15:31) for your life of courageous faith, be
encouraged. The Lord Jesus will always have the final word. Your Redeemer lives, and your eyes will
see Him (Jb 19:25, 27). "He is near, even at the door" (Mk 13:29; Rv 3:20), and you will see Him
coming with great power and glory to vindicate you (Mk 13:26-27). "Stand erect and hold your heads
high, for your deliverance is near at hand" (Lk 21:28).
For those who don't live for the Lord, Jesus' Second Coming will not be humble and meek as was His
first coming. There will be no meek Infant lying in an obscure manger this time. This time His coming
will shake the cosmos in "great power and glory" (Mk 13:26). Few noticed Him in Bethlehem; this time
"every eye shall see Him, even of those who" reject Him (Rv 1:7). He will come as Judge (Jas 5:9).
Therefore, repent now before it's too late! Reconcile with Jesus now, for you know not the day or the
hour of His return (Mk 13:32).
Prayer: Lord Jesus, may I know You as Savior as well as Judge.
Promise: "You will show me the path to life, fullness of joys in Your presence, the delights at Your
right hand forever." -Ps 16:11
Praise: All honor and glory to You, risen Jesus. Marantha! Come Lord Jesus!
Monday THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Tuesday SEEING THE BLINDNESS

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
"HOPES OF MILLIONS"
The annual celebration of World Food Day emphasizes ... the needs, yearnings and hopes of millions
of persons who lack bread each day. Increasingly, there are more people who sadly make up part of
that great number of human beings who have nothing, or almost nothing to eat. It should be the
opposite and yet recent statistics are a painful proof of how international solidarity appears to
be cooling.
"EFFECTIVE HELP"
The poor expect from us an effective help that takes them out of their misery... In this
twenty-first century that has seen considerable advances in the field of technology, science,
communications and infrastructure, we ought to feel shame for not having achieved the same advances
in humanity and solidarity, and so satisfy the primary needs of the most disadvantaged.
"WE MUST DO BETTER"
We are all called to go further. We can and we must do better for the helpless. We must move to
concrete action, so that the scourge of hunger disappears completely.
(Source: Message for World Food Day 2018, issued 10/16/2018)
