Sept 20th Twenty fifth Sunday in ordinary time
We call this season of the year, ordinary time, yet in You nothing is ordinary.
Just to know You in the Eucharist, and see You in the breaking of the bread, should be for us a cause
of great joy.
The fact that You are always with us in all the tabernacles of the world, ready to listen and help us,
should give us a tremendous sense of peace.
We know that You are truly there, just waiting for us to visit, and give You praise and glorify, thank
You, the Christ.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday SISTER DEATH
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-9-20-en
"I long to be freed from this life and to be with Christ, for that is the far better thing." -Philippians 1:23
St. Paul faced "death every day" (1 Cor 15:31). He was on "death row" on more than one occasion. Paul
faced death and smiled at it. He even taunted death when he proclaimed: "O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?" (1 Cor 15:55) Paul said: "Dying is so much gain" (Phil 1:21). He said that
he felt as strongly attracted to dying as living (Phil 1:23), although he considered dying in Christ "the
far better thing" (Phil 1:23).
Paul was freed from slavery to the fear of death (see Heb 2:15) because to him, life meant Christ
(Phil 1:21). When we totally give our lives to Christ, we believe that Jesus is the Resurrection and the
Life (Jn 11:25), Who has put death to death by His death on the cross (see Heb 2:14). When we give our
lives to Jesus, we give our deaths to Jesus, Who holds "the keys of death and the nether world" (Rv 1:18).
In Christ, there is no condemnation (Rm 8:1). In Christ, slavery to the fear of death is swallowed up in
victory (1 Cor 15:54).
On this and every Sunday, we celebrate Jesus' Resurrection from the dead. Today, give all to Jesus, smile
in the face of death, and live life freely and to the full (see Jn 10:10).
Prayer: Father, give me a happy death as soon as possible.
Promise: "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call Him while He is near." -Is 55:6
Praise: "I am the Resurrection and the Life: whoever believes in Me, though he should die, will come to
life; and whoever is alive and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (Jn 11:25-26)

"He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will himself also call and not be heard." -Proverbs 21:13
