February 17th Sixth Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, during this ordinary time, please keep us from ever thinking that in You any time is ordinary.
Lord, remind us that praise and glory to You, should be the main stay of our existence.
We should constantly be amazed by the never ending love that You have for all people.
Let us come to You in joyful adoration and sit and worship You as often as we can.
Let us see You in others and help us spread the good news through our words and actions.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday WHAT ABOUT JESUS?
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/17/2019
"Blest shall you be when men hate you, when they ostracize you and insult you and proscribe your name
as evil because of the Son of Man." -Luke 6:22
Jesus is a Sign that is contradicted (Lk 2:34). He says: "Blest are you poor" (Lk 6:20) and "Woe to you
rich" (Lk 6:24). By contrast, most of us say the opposite. The rich don't like to hear their lives may
be wasted (see Eccl 1:2), and the poor don't like the idea that God may never want them to be rich.
Jesus can get both ends of the economic spectrum upset with Him. In fact, He got people so upset that
they (and we) crucified Him (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, 598). Jesus said: "Blest is the man
who finds no stumbling block in Me" (Mt 11:6).
Right now, Jesus is calling you to give your whole life to Him now and forever. If anyone else made that
demand of you, it would be very unreasonable. However, Jesus died on the cross for you and rose from the
dead for you. He, and He alone, has the right to expect everything from you. Will you accept Him on His
terms, or contradict and reject Him? Will you listen to Him and repent, or crucify the Son of God for
yourself and hold "Him up to contempt"? (Heb 6:6) What will you do with Jesus?
Prayer: Jesus, may You be the Cornerstone (Ps 118:22) and not the Stumbling Stone (1 Pt 2:7-8) of my life.
Promise: "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord." -Jer 17:7
Praise: All praise to the risen Jesus, Victor-King! You reign in glory forever. Alleluia!
Monday SIN IS A LURKING DEMON (SEE GN 4:7)
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/18/2019
"I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes." -Psalm 50:21
Tuesday HEART TO HEART
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/19/2019
"His heart was grieved." -Genesis 6:6

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
https://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-11.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
"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."
DON'T BE INDIFFERENT
... These are some reflections I wish to share with those men and women who do not allow
themselves to succumb to indifference; who hear the cry of those who do not have the
minimum needed to lead a dignified life.
THE CHURCH AND THE POOR
For her part, the Catholic Church, in the exercise of the mission with which her divine
Founder has entrusted her, struggles daily throughout the world against hunger and
malnutrition in multiple ways and through her various structures and associations,
remembering that those who suffer from misery are not different from us. They share our
flesh and blood. They deserve ... a friendly hand to help and support them, in such a way
that no one is left behind, so that in our world fraternal solidarity may boast its own
identity card and citizenship, beyond any flashy slogans void of substance.
