January 26th 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.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THERE'S NOBODY LIKE JESUS
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/26/2020
"Reform your lives! The kingdom of heaven is at hand." -Matthew 4:17
Jesus was walking along a part of the shore of the Sea of Galilee used by commercial fishing businesses. He
commanded two brothers to follow Him and leave behind their business, livelihood, families, and the only way
of life they had ever known. They obeyed Jesus' command immediately (Mt 4:20). That this was not a fluke is
attested by the fact that Jesus did the same thing at another commercial fishing business and two other
brothers also left everything to follow Jesus (Mt 4:22).
There is something special about Jesus. His words are "spirit and life" (Jn 6:63), and His actions are the
most powerful. For example, He didn't simply cure some diseases, He "cured the people of every disease and
illness" (Mt 4:23). Jesus spoke, did, and was the Good News, that is, the Gospel. Jesus inaugurated a whole,
new way of governing life. He called it the kingdom of God (see Mt 4:23).
When Jesus was crucified and murdered, "the gospel of the kingdom" seemed to have been defeated. Yet Jesus
rose on the third day and showed that His Good News was stronger than death and that His kingdom would last
forever (1 Cor 15:4; Lk 1:33). What are you waiting for? Follow Jesus and leave all else behind now.
Prayer: Father, may I be madly in love with Jesus.
Promise: "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of
gloom a light has shone." -Is 9:1
Praise: "He said to them: 'Thus it is written that the Messiah must suffer and rise from the dead on the
third day' " (Lk 24:46). Praise the risen Jesus!
Monday GOOD VERSUS BEST
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/27/2020
David "reigned for forty years: seven years and six months in Hebron over Judah, and thirty-three years in
Jerusalem over all Israel and Judah." -2 Samuel 5:4-5
Tuesday THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=1/28/2020
"The ark of the Lord was brought in and set in its place within the tent David had pitched for it. Then
David offered holocausts and peace offerings before the Lord. When he finished making these offerings, he
blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts." -2 Samuel 6:17-18

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