November 10th 32nd Sunday in ordinary time
Oh! Christ, sometimes we get so busy in life that we forget to pray unless there is an emergency.
Please Lord, give us the grace to set aside a time everday to go to our prayer room and give You praise
and glory.
Let us be intercessors for others, and realize all the good we could do for them, through You, by our
prayers.
Let us see that all people are our brothers and sisters, and that we have an obligation to pray for them.
Let us also pray the news so that those who do harm to others will be saved through our intercessions
and Your love.
Thank You, Jesus, for making us part of Your glorious plan.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday FAMILY PRAYER
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/10/2019
"It also happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested and tortured with whips and scourges
by the king." -2 Maccabees 7:1
This nameless Old Testament family prefigures the Christian family. How holy, fearless, and faithful a
Christian family can be when united with the Lord and one another and deeply grounded in faith in Jesus'
Resurrection and our resurrection from the dead! This family loved God and each other so much that all seven
brothers with their mother suffered mutilation, torture, and execution so as to be faithful to the Lord.
This was a family of eight saints, all martyred.
In the new covenant, we have even greater graces to have the holiest families. "That is why I kneel before
the Father from Whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name; and I pray that He will bestow on
you gifts in keeping with the riches of His glory" (Eph 3:14-16). "May He strengthen you inwardly through
the working of His Spirit" (Eph 3:16). "May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith" (Eph 3:17). "May
charity be the root and foundation of your life. Thus you will be able to grasp fully, with all the holy
ones, the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love" (Eph 3:17-18).
Because the Lord has revealed this family prayer to us, He will certainly answer it. By His grace, your
family can enter into unimaginable realms of holiness and ultimately have a family reunion in heaven without
any member missing. Through daily recitation of the above family prayer, accept the grace to be a holy family.
Prayer: Lord, direct our "hearts in the love of God and the constancy of Christ" (2 Thes 3:5).
Promise: "The Lord keeps faith; He it is Who will strengthen you and guard you against the evil one."
-2 Thes 3:3
Praise: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory
and praise" (Rv 5:12).

Please pray for my son and his fiancée. My son Chase is Catholic and his fiancée is Methodist. They have
decided to get married outside of the Catholic Church. I've talked to him and why it is so important.
However, he still persists in not marrying in the Catholic Church. I pray that the Holy Spirit leads them to
the truth of the Catholic Faith and bring them a blessed and holy marriage. I give this to you almighty Lord.
Amen and thank all of you who pray for this intention.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
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.
"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.
