June 30th Thirteenth Sunday in ordinary time.
This week Jesus, open us up to really calling You our Lord and God.
Give us the grace to let go of any fears and problems that stop us from walking with You all the
time.
Let that grace enter into us so strongly that we will be driven to come and sit with You in
adoration and receive Your precious Body and Blood.
Let that grace strengthen us to continue on this journey of life with as much peace of heart as
possible.
Let us become more and more other Christs to all people, let us die to self and so willingly give
to all others.
Thank You for loving and dying for us.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "THE LAND OF THE FREE?"
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/30/2019
"You have been called to live in freedom." -Galatians 5:13
"It was for liberty that Christ freed us. So stand firm, and do not take on yourselves the yoke of
slavery a second time!" -Galatians 5:1
After we make the ultimate decision to convert, we spend all our time with the Lord and all our
lives for Him. Then we get to know the Lord personally, and it doesn't take us long to realize that
the Lord is preoccupied with our freedom. We should expect this because Jesus' mission is to set
the captives free (Lk 4:18). He died on the cross to free us from our sins, and He rose from the
dead to free us from Satan, the prince of death (see Heb 2:14). Only if Jesus frees us are we truly
free (Jn 8:36). Jesus is our Redeemer, Who has done everything necessary to free us.
Therefore, Jesus insists that we be free from unforgiveness, fear, self-hatred, and addictions to
everything from alcohol to TV, electronic devices, types of food, gambling, pornography, cigarettes,
caffeine, drugs, etc.
God the Father through Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to give us desires in opposition to our
fallen, addicted nature (Gal 5:17). By living our baptisms, that is, our lives in the Spirit, we
will be free.
Prayer: Father, free me from the culture of death. May I be always free in You.
Promise: "Jesus answered him, 'Whoever puts his hand to the plow but keeps looking back is unfit
for the reign of God.' " -Lk 9:62
Praise: Praise the risen Jesus, "the First-Born of the dead" (Col 1:18).
Monday "MERCY IS NOT STRAINED"
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/1/2019
"Merciful and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger and abounding in kindness." -Psalm 103:8
Tuesday WAKING UP TO FAITH
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=7/2/2019
"The boat began to be swamped by the waves. Jesus was sleeping soundly." -Matthew 8:24

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
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.
"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.
