August 16th 20th Sunday in ordinary time.
This week, Jesus, Your church celebrates the queenship of Mary, as she so rightly deserves.
She was a faithful servant, and a tremendous example of trust while on earth, and so she should be
honored as Queen of heaven and earth.
Let her intercession continue to cause grace to flow to all of us.
Let Your love for mom flow also into us, and let us praise, and glorify You as our Lord, God and King.
Let us see that Your plan of love is constantly working out in everything, and give us the graces
necessary for us to really trust You every day in every way.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SAVE THE CHILDREN
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-8-16-en
"Lord, Son of David, have pity on me! My daughter is terribly troubled by a demon." -Matthew 15:22
Jesus delivered many people from demons. Sometimes He delivered children from demons
(Mt 15:22; Mk 9:17ff). This raises the question: How can innocent children who could not have
grievously sinned or been knowingly involved in the occult be possessed or troubled by demons?
Children suffer innocently for the sins of their parents and the world. This suffering seems to
include even harassment from the evil one. Sins committed by any of us can result in the severest
form of child abuse: exposing a child to demonic influence. A simple reading of any of the
historical books of the Old Testament will demonstrate how sins of others can harm innocent children.
Why doesn't the Lord protect children from the effect of our sins? Why didn't He intervene and save
the Holy Innocents martyred at Bethlehem? Why doesn't He spare the children victimized by abortion?
The Lord allows us to accept the wages of our sins (Rm 6:23). He even lets us pass on a devastating
inheritance to our children and to the children of the world (Ex 20:5). Our unrepented sins open the
door for Satan to enter not only our lives, but also the lives of innocent children. Repent!
Prayer: In the name of Jesus, leave, Satan, never to return. Thank You, Jesus, for Your victory.
Promise: "Observe what is right, do what is just; for My salvation is about to come, My justice,
about to be revealed." -Is 56:1
Praise: "If Christ was not raised, your faith is worthless" (1 Cor 15:17). Father God, thank You
for Your perfect plan of redemption.
Monday SHOCK THERAPY

"Will you not tell us what all these things that you are doing mean for us?" -Ezekiel 24:19
Tuesday "THE END" (RV 22:13)
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-8-18-en
