PM eNewsletter 22nd Sunday in ordinary time

August 30th 22nd Sunday in ordinary time.


Jesus, seasons change, and we see life changing, but one thing never changes and that is Your steadfast
love for us.

Lord, help us to recognize that, and feel that love.

Lord, help that love give us the graces that we need to live in true christian faith, faithful to You
and Your ordained leaders.

Lord, help us to trust the wisdom that You give the Pope and his bishops, and let us grow in the
knowledge that Your Holy Spirit guides Your church in the continued truth.

Lord, let us trust our priests and deacons as emissarys of You.

Lord, help us all to pray for the ordained as they also struggle with the problems of life as we do.

Amen and Amen.

Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body

This weeks readings and reflections


Sunday BODY LANGUAGE
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-8-30-en

"I beg you through the mercy of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God,
your spiritual worship." -Romans 12:1

As part of a total commitment of our lives to the Lord, we offer our bodies to Him as living sacrifices.
This means the Lord (and no one else) determines what we eat and drink, our bodily habits, under what
conditions we use our sexual organs, how we think, how we dress, how we use our eyes, how we use our
tongues, where we go, and several other aspects of life involving our bodies.

The Lord may decide to use your body to create several children in the covenant of marriage. Some of
these children may be miscarried. This is an even more demanding use of your body by the Lord. The Lord
may decide to give you the gift of celibacy. Your body's sexuality will then be used exclusively for
spiritual, not biological, fruitfulness. If you give your body to the Lord, He may make you a caregiver,
exhausting your body by giving constant care to someone who can do very little to assist you. In giving
your body to the Lord, you may be healed, strengthened, and freed from stress. You may feel ten to twenty
years younger. The Lord will undoubtedly use your body to suffer in the pattern of His death
(see Phil 3:10). Ultimately, the Lord wants to raise your body from the dead and renew it according to
the pattern of His glorified body (Phil 3:21).

It is an adventure and a privilege to give our bodies to the Lord. No one knows what He will do with our
bodies. So let us trust Jesus with our bodies and find out the wonders He has planned.

Prayer: Father, thank You for the gift of my body. Do with it as You wish.

Promise: "Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it."
-Mt 16:25

Praise: "If He gives His life as an offering for sin...the will of the Lord shall be accomplished through
Him" (Is 53:10).
