August 23rd Twenty first Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, life moves with a speed that differs for all people.
Sometimes we have a lot of time on our hands, and sometimes we can't believe how fast time is
going by.
But in all this, we forget to pray as we should.
Lord, help us to see the importance of prayer, especially before Your Body and Blood--the Eucharist.
Lord, help us to faithfully set a time each week to come and adore You and feel the peace that only
You can give.
Help us to intercede for the church and all of it's leaders.
Help us to sit in awe of Your love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday ACCEPTING JESUS ON HIS TERMS
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-8-23-en
"For from Him and through Him and for Him all things are. To Him be glory forever. Amen." -Romans 11:36
The most important question in life is: "Who do you say" Jesus is? (Mt 16:15) If we confess with our
lips that Jesus is the Messiah, Lord, and Son of God (Mt 16:16; Rm 10:9) and if we live for Jesus and
not for ourselves (2 Cor 5:15), we will be saved from death, self-deception, slavery, damnation, and
hell, and we will be saved for freedom, purity, holiness, love, peace, joy, and eternal life.
Moreover, when we accept the grace to have faith in Jesus and to live for Him, Jesus reveals His Church
to us (Mt 16:18). He likewise calls us to love the Church, even by laying down our lives for her
(Eph 5:25).
Have you accepted Jesus on His terms? Have you been crucified with Christ? (Gal 2:19) Is the life that
you're living no longer your own? (Gal 2:20) Have you lost your life for Jesus? (Lk 9:24) Do you merely
go to church, or are you "churched" by Jesus' standards?
"How deep are the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How inscrutable His judgments, how
unsearchable His ways!" (Rm 11:33) Enter into the mystery of Trinitarian, eternal love. Give your life
totally to Jesus and His Church now.
Prayer: Father, reveal Jesus to me in ever deeper ways (see Mt 16:17).
Promise: "When he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open." -Is 22:22
Praise: "There is nothing to fear. I am the First and the Last and the One Who lives. Once I was dead
but now I live-forever and ever" (Rv 1:17-18). Praise You, risen Jesus!
Monday BACK TO THE APOSTLES
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-8-24-en
"The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation, on which were written the names
of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." -Revelation 21:14
Tuesday SEDUCTION
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-8-25-en
"Let no one seduce you, no matter how." -2 Thessalonians 2:3

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of
the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine
Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the
ruin of souls. Amen.

While we all ask for prayers for our sufferings, let also unite our sufferings to that of the Passion of

Praying for all people to realize The Divine Mercy of Jesus is just waiting for us...whatever we have done,
Jesus welcomes us to His Mercy. If you turn your back on Jesus, you will open yourself to His Justice. Pray
