June 29th, 13th Sunday Ordinary Time
This week we celebrate the apostles, Peter and Paul.
Lord, your Church was started by You, and Your making St. Peter the rock, and the leader of the apostles.
You also brought us the gentiles into Your church through the preaching and teachings of St. Paul.
Jesus, give us this apostolic ferver to truly focus on You as the most important person in our lives.
Let us truly make our lives revolve around You.
Let us realize that if we don't have You first in our lives, all the cares and problems of living will
eventually drag us down, and put us into depression and anxiety.
You, oh! Jesus, are the way, the truth and the life, let that fact cause us to be Christed in all of our
ways, and trusting You, and You alone, to bring all things to good.
Let us be light to this darkened world.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE SUPREME LOVE
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-6-28-en
"Whoever loves father or mother, son or daughter, more than Me is not worthy of Me." -Matthew 10:37
The Church proclaims "the supremacy of the bond with Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1619). Our
relationship with Jesus is in a class by itself. We are called to love Jesus much more than we love anyone
else (see Mt 10:37). We must love Jesus so much that we lose our worldly lives, give our lives to Him,
suffer in love for Him, take up our crosses daily in imitation of Him, and even die for Him
(see Mt 10:37-38).
Because of the supremacy of our relationship with Jesus, those things we "used to consider gain" we "have
now reappraised as loss" (Phil 3:7). We "have come to rate all as loss in the light of the surpassing
knowledge of [our] Lord Jesus Christ" (Phil 3:8). For love of Jesus, we have "forfeited everything" and
"have accounted all else rubbish so that Christ may be" our Wealth (Phil 3:8).
Because of the supremacy of the relationship with the Lord, each Christian is privileged to say: "I have
been crucified with Christ, and the life I live now is not my own; Christ is living in me. I still live my
human life, but it is a life of faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal 2:19-20).
We are supremely honored and loved in having the opportunity to "live no longer" for ourselves but for Him
Who for our sakes "died and was raised up" (2 Cor 5:15).
Accept the invitation of the crucified and glorified Christ. Give your life totally to Him. Love Jesus
supremely.
Prayer: Sacred Heart of Jesus, as this month of the Sacred Heart ends, I consecrate my life to You. I am
all Yours.
Promise: "The favors of the Lord I will sing forever; through all generations my mouth shall proclaim Your
faithfulness." -Ps 89:2
Praise: Praise You, Jesus! You are "the Beginning, the First-Born of the dead" (see Col 1:18). Your
Resurrection gives us hope.
Monday THE GRACE TO BE HEROIC
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-6-29-en
"No mere man has revealed this to you, but My heavenly Father." -Matthew 16:17
Tuesday I TOLD YOU SO
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-6-30-en
"Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants, the prophets." -Amos 3:7
