September 29th 26th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week Jesus, Your church celebrates three great archangels, St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael.
These three angels are shining examples of how You love us, and protect us, by sending them to be Your
messengers to us, and with all of our own guardian angels to be with us everyday.
Jesus, Your plan of loving us is so amazing that we can't really understand it or truly appreciate it.
But that doesn't stop You from giving us help that we need to get through this life, so that someday we
will come home and spend eternity with you.
Thank You for loving us.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday HELL, NO!
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/29/2019
"I am tortured in these flames." -Luke 16:24
Jesus told a parable about a rich man who was in the netherworld - an allusion to what we would call "hell."
The rich man was in hell not because he was rich or because he refused to help the poor man, Lazarus. The
rich man went to hell because he was insensitive to Lazarus. He didn't even notice the poor man at his door,
although even dogs noticed Lazarus (see Lk 16:20-21). The rich man was not only insensitive to Lazarus but
also to Moses and the prophets, that is, the Bible (Lk 16:31). The rich man and his five brothers had put
themselves in such a state of spiritual stupor that they would not have been fazed "even if one should rise
from the dead" (Lk 16:31).
The rich man deadened his spiritual sensitivity by a worldly lifestyle. He "dressed in purple and linen and
feasted splendidly every day" (Lk 16:19). He was complacent, living for comfort, enjoyment, entertainment,
and pleasure (see Am 6:4-6). A worldly lifestyle doesn't necessarily put a person in hell, but it puts a
person in such a state of addiction to self that he chooses hell.
It is tempting to want to live a worldly lifestyle. However, Christians, who have been baptized into a
supernatural new life, sometimes live a worldly, soul-numbing lifestyle. How can this be? These Christians
are not living their Baptisms. Instead of rejecting Satan, all his works, and all his empty promises, we can
fall into the temptation to reject "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit" (2 Cor 13:13).
Jesus died so that we would all go to heaven. His will be done.
Prayer: Father, make me so secure in Your love that I will not become empty.
Promise: "Take firm hold on the everlasting life to which you were called when, in the presence of many
witnesses, you made your noble profession of faith." -1 Tm 6:12
Praise: Majesty, might, and power be to Jesus now and for ages to come. Amen (Jude 25).
Monday WELCOME MAT

"Whoever welcomes this little child on My account welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him Who sent
Me." -Luke 9:48
Tuesday READY, GET SET, GO

Jesus "set His face toward Jerusalem." -Luke 9:51 (our translation)

Pray for holiness. Pray for discernment. There was a man who trusted in his own self importance and in the
end he got what he deserved. There was another man. who was humble, contrite and who trusted in The Holy
Trinity, The Holy Goods bestowed on The Church, The Communion of Saints and The Angelic Choirs of Angel.
In the end he got what he deserved. Two different men, with two different endings.

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."
