January 25th Third Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, Your gift of Your presense in the Eucharist should fill us with gratitude and love.
Lord, help us to come and sit with You, and let us do everything we can do to draw others to
Eucharistic Adoration.
Help us to see that everytime we sit with You, You give us a sense of well being, and that well being
helps us walk the talk, and not just talk the talk.
Jesus, help us always be authentic in our lives, by being so in love with You, that You truly become
our center focus, and purpose.
Let us be all that You want us to be, and let us give to all, that all may see the Christ in us.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AT CHURCH TODAY?
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/27/2019
"...entering the synagogue on the sabbath as He was in the habit of doing..." -Luke 4:16
For nearly thirty years, Jesus had habitually entered the synagogue on the sabbath to worship God
(Lk 4:16). Then, on one special sabbath day, the time "of favor" came (Lk 4:19). On that day, the
Holy Spirit anointed and sent Jesus out, Scriptures were fulfilled, Jesus prophesied in power, and
was nearly killed (Lk 4:23ff).
Since Jesus is the same today as He was then (Heb 13:8), He is working in power today, His day, the
Lord's Day. Therefore, we should never be comfortable and complacent walking into Church; rather, we
should approach "the liturgy of the Lord" (Acts 13:2) with trembling, anticipation, reverence, and
awe. At any moment, in any Mass, the Spirit may explode and an international, earthshaking ministry
could be born (see Lk 4:18; Acts 13:2). Great healings (Acts 20:7-12) or life-changing revelations
(Lk 24:30-32) might occur. Miracles will occur, as bread and wine are being transformed into the Body
and Blood of Jesus, Who is God. The proclaimed Scriptures will be fulfilled in the lives of many today
as Jesus comes alive in their hearts and sets them free (Lk 4:18; Jn 8:32).
Today is the Lord's Day, "the first of all days" (Catechism, 2174). "Today is holy to the Lord"
(Neh 8:9). Today the Holy Spirit anoints you (Lk 4:18). Expect today's Mass to be charged with power
as Jesus makes all things new (Rv 21:5) - today.
Prayer: Jesus, may I never be so "familiar" with You that I become like the people of Nazareth and
fail to see You as God.
Promise: "You, then, are the body of Christ. Every one of you is a member of it." -1 Cor 12:27
Praise: "My Lord and my God!" (Jn 20:28)
Monday JESUS SAVES US
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/28/2019
Jesus "entered heaven itself that He might appear before God now on our behalf." -Hebrews 9:24
Tuesday LOVE-LIFE
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/29/2019
"Whoever does the will of God is brother and sister and mother to Me." -Mark 3:35

Please pray for my boyfriend Hunter that he will be converted to the Catholic faith. I started
dating him and fell in love with him before I decided to become Catholic and he almost entered the
church 3 years ago but chose not to because of my request that he not do it out of a feeling of
obligation to me. Please pray he receive divine prompting to convert and his eyes are opened to
Christ in the Eucharist.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
"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.
WE CAN DO IT
We do indeed have the adequate means and framework so that beautiful words and good wishes may become
an action plan of substance that leads effectively to the eradication of hunger in our world. To this
end we need joint efforts, upright hearts, and persistent concern to firmly and resolutely make the
other's problems one's own.
"LACK OF POLITICAL WILL"
There is a fundamental lack of political will. What is needed is the willingness to end hunger, and
this ultimately will not happen without a moral conviction that is shared by all peoples and all
religious persuasions, where the integral good of the person is at the heart of all initiatives and
consists in "doing to another what we would want done to ourselves."
