THE ULTIMATE "YES MAN"

"When Joseph awoke he did as the angel of the Lord had directed him." -Matthew 1:24

Our modern culture enjoys reading about the personal struggles, emotions, doubts, and triumphs in people's lives. It's as if our culture gives people the right to make ungodly choices if their struggles are intense enough. The Scriptures differ from modern culture. They didn't concentrate on St. Joseph's feelings or his struggles. They simply concentrate on what Joseph did. They reflect Joseph as a man of "obedient faith" (Rm 1:5).

God's ways are far above the ways of today's culture (Is 55:8-9). Certainly God is concerned about our struggles (see Ps 56:9; Dt 2:7). He gives us the grace necessary to live by faith (Heb 10:38), no matter how difficult our circumstances. Joseph apparently understood this. He was required to endure struggles which no man on earth ever has been asked to face, yet he simply trusted God and obeyed Him.

St. Joseph had a "fiat" to proclaim, just as the Blessed Virgin Mary did. God the Father entrusted His only begotten Son, Jesus, to the care and protection of Joseph, and he said "yes" to God. Each of us also have a fiat to proclaim, no matter the circumstances of our lives. Let us consider the sufferings of the present as nothing compared to the privilege of saying "yes" to God (see Rm 8:18; 2 Cor 1:19). Imitate the example of St. Joseph, the man of faith, and respond to the Lord with faith and loving obedience.


Prayer: Father, may I concentrate on pleasing You alone.

Promise: "All depends on faith, everything is grace." -Rm 4:16

Praise: Through his instant and courageous obedience, St. Joseph defended the Infant Jesus from King Herod's plan to kill Him (see Mt 2:13ff).

Friday, March 18, 2011, St. Cyril of Jerusalem

Ezekiel 18:21-28, Psalm 130:1-5, 7-8, Matthew 5:20-26
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/031811.shtml

REPENT NOW!

"Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? says the Lord God. Do I not rather rejoice when he turns from his evil way that he may live?" -Ezekiel 18:23

The Lord promises He will remember against us none of the sins we have committed if we repent (Ez 18:22). He also promises He will remember none of our virtuous deeds if we break faith with Him (Ez 18:24). Thus, the Lord is always forgetting about something that we've done. Whether or not we repent determines whether He forgets our sins or our virtuous deeds.

Repentance is so important that there's more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine who have no need to repent (Lk 15:7). Repentance gives us the benefit of Jesus' saving death on Calvary. Refusing to repent causes His death to be in vain for us (see 1 Cor 1:17). Repentance can change our future from everlasting hell to eternal happiness. Repentance is an act of love for God by which we enter into having a life of love for Him. Repentance opens the door for the Lord to turn even the worst things to the good for those who love Him (Rm 8:28). Repentance usually gives us immediate freedom and peace. It is a prerequisite for receiving a new Pentecost (Acts 2:38) and for building God's kingdom (see Mk 1:15).

Repentance is a grace, privilege, and calling. It is a matter of justice, which opens for us the gates of God's mercy. Repentance is the reason for Lent and life. Repent now!


Prayer: Father, may I take the plank out of my own eye and then remove the specks from others' eyes (Mt 7:5).

Promise: "Go first to be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Lose no time." -Mt 5:24-25

Praise: St. Cyril was treated unjustly and forced into exile, yet continued to tell heretics to repent and return to the Truth, to Jesus, true God and true Man.

QUICK DRAW

"Ask, and you will receive. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. For the one who asks, receives." -Matthew 7:7-8

Jesus commands us to ask. Usually we command others to do something because they probably won't do it otherwise. Surprisingly we have a problem asking God for good things so Jesus commands us to do so. Jesus gives the example of a son asking for a loaf or a fish (Mt 7:9-10). Jesus reasons that if the son gets what he asks for, shouldn't we also ask confidently? Jesus concludes, "If you, with all your sins, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good things to anyone who asks Him!" (Mt 7:11)

Even though we may not be aware of it, we don't ask God enough and we don't ask Him quickly enough. Our Father complains: "I was ready to respond to those who asked Me not, to be found by those who sought Me not. I said: Here I am! Here I am! To a nation that did not call My Name" (Is 65:1). He commands, "Ask of Me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession" (Ps 2:8). He promises: "Anything you ask Me in My Name I will do" (Jn 14:14).

Try to ask every day for something you never asked for before. Ask God more quickly. How soon do you ask for help in temptation? Do you pray for healing the second you're aware of sickness? Ask the Lord quickly and for more. God loves you.


Prayer: Father, this Lent teach me to be quick on the draw in asking You for all good things.

Promise: "Save us by Your power, and help me, who am alone and have no one but You, O Lord. You know all things." -Est C:25

Praise: St. Patrick, kidnap victim and runaway slave, prayed for the conversion of his kidnappers during his escape and subsequent freedom. He later freely returned to the land of his kidnappers to bring Jesus to them.

Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/031611.shtml

THE LENTEN FAST

"They shall not eat." -Jonah 3:7

During Lent, the Lord calls us to imitate Him when He fasted forty days in the desert (Mt 4:2). Fasting is limiting our intake of food and/or drink. A diabetic, an elderly person, or an expectant mother can fast by just skipping dessert or not eating between meals. Fasting is not a matter of quantity but of obedience to the Lord.

Nevertheless, the Lord often calls His people to fast extensively. For example, the king of the Ninevites proclaimed to his people a fast in which nothing was eaten or drunk for presumably a short time (Jon 3:7). Esther and the Jews of the city of Susa were called to eat and drink nothing for three days (Est 4:16). The soldiers of Judas Maccabeus fasted to the degree that they felt too weak to fight (1 Mc 3:17). Paul mentioned his "frequent fastings" (2 Cor 11:27), and Jesus began His public ministry by fasting for forty days and nights.

For most Christians, Lent is the kind of fast in which we substantially limit our intake of food. What the Church has taught for centuries - only one full meal for each of the forty days of Lent - is probably still God's will for most Christians. Make this your way of fasting during Lent unless the Lord has specifically given you other directions on fasting.


Prayer: Father, use my fasting to drive out demons (Mt 17:21, NAB).

Promise: "For at the preaching of Jonah they reformed, but you have a greater than Jonah here." -Lk 11:32

Praise: Rob fasts weekly for his wife's welfare. Their marriage is stronger than ever.

RATTLE SNAKE

"In your prayer do not rattle on like the pagans." -Matthew 6:7

Jesus commanded us not to rattle on in prayer. Some people think that when we repeat prayers, we are rattling. However, repetition is often an expression of love. For instance, I hope you repeatedly say to your family: "I love you." Jesus Himself repeated His prayers. For example, the exact translation of Luke 23:34 and Mark 14:36 are "He kept saying." Rattling on is not mere repetition.

If we haven't forgiven those who have hurt us, we curse rather than bless ourselves when we pray: "Forgive us the wrong we have done as we forgive those who wrong us" (Mt 6:12). If we haven't forgiven, we rattle on rather than truly pray.

The first word of prayer taught by Jesus is "Abba," "Father" (Mt 6:9). Prayer is a matter of relationship. Jesus said: "This people draws near with words only and honors Me with their lips alone, though their hearts are far from Me" (Is 29:13; Mt 15:8). Rattling on in prayer is the same thing as "lip service." We rattle on in prayer when our hearts are far from the Lord. Until we obey the first of all the commandments and therefore love the Lord with all our hearts, how can we obey Jesus' teaching on how to pray?

A hardened, closed, divided, unrepentant heart turns our prayer into a "death-rattle." However, "a heart contrite and humbled" God "will not spurn" (Ps 51:19). "A clean heart create for me, O God," so I can pray (Ps 51:12).


Prayer: Sacred Heart of Jesus, make my heart like Yours.

Promise: "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but shall do My will, achieving the end for which I sent it." -Is 55:11

Praise: Susanna prays the rosary slowly and meditatively.

MORE WAYS TO LOVE JESUS

"I assure you, as often as you did it for one of My least brothers, you did it for Me." -Matthew 25:40

Jesus gave us a preview of Judgment Day. We will be judged by our faith and love for Him as we have expressed it in loving service to "the least of the brethren." This fact can be taken as a burden. Now we have to take care of the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the imprisoned (see Mt 25:35-36). However, we should not feel burdened by the poor and the needy, but instead feel privileged to serve them.

As Christians, we live lives of love in response to the Lord's love on Calvary. We love with all our hearts God, Who is Love (1 Jn 4:16). Our goal in life is to show our love for God as frequently as possible. We tell God we love Him several times a day. We do everything for love of Him and give Him many gifts and sacrifices each day. We wish we could think of other ways to show our love for Him. Jesus fulfills our wish. He surrounds us with poor and needy people. Then He says that whatever we do to "the least of the brethren," we do for Him. If it weren't for the poor, we would be frustrated in finding more ways to love Jesus. Now, we can show love for Jesus in thousands of ways.

In love, we thank Jesus for the poor. How precious they are! They give us the opportunity to feed, clothe, visit, and love Jesus all day, every day. We owe such a debt of gratitude to the poor.


Prayer: Father, beginning this Lent, may I receive Your heart of love for the poor.

Promise: "You shall not go about spreading slander among your kinsmen; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor's life is at stake." -Lv 19:16

Praise: Tara, a mother of eight, frequently takes her children to a local, inner-city mission to help serve the needs of the poor.

PM eNewsletter First Sunday of Lent

March 13th First Sunday of Lent


This week, oh! Christ, we have two great feast days, St. Patricks Day on the 17th,
and St. Josephs Day on the 19th.

Both of these men are truly examples of what it means, and how it means, to follow
You through problems and the difficulties of life.

Let us see in St. Joseph, a quiet, prayful person who truly followed Your will totally.

Let us see in St. Patrick a man who did what seemed to be impossible.

Let us be on fire as they were.

Amen and Amen.


Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections

Sunday THE VIEW FROM THE DESERT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=3/13/2011

"Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit." -Matthew 4:1

In the stark desolation of the physical desert, you can:

- see clearly without distraction.
- live simply, in a "lean and mean" lifestyle. Only the basic necessities for survival
are valuable.
- discern value clearly. We tend to overvalue the things the world affords (1 Jn 2:16).
In the desert, a cup of water has far more value than a diamond necklace.

In Lent, the Holy Spirit leads us into the desert to speak to our heart (Hos 2:16).
This spiritual desert is similar to the physical desert:

- Temptations can be seen more clearly for what they are, without distraction.
- Things that seem so important in the world, such as the regard of others, fade
into obscurity in the spiritual desert.
- Things that seem obscure in the clutter of society, such as God's opinion of
you, are critically important in the desert.
- Your need for God's provision and protection is acute in the desert. The
consequences of rebelling against God's direction can be fatal.

Most of all, the desert is a place of love (see Jer 2:2). In the desert the Lord
allures us (Hos 2:16) by pouring out His love into our heart through the Holy
Spirit (Rm 5:5). The Israelites grumbled in the desert (see Ex 16:2), but in the
Lenten desert, we will rejoice (Is 35:1). "In the desert prepare the way of the
Lord!" (Is 40:3)

I am divorced, my family cut me off & I am disabled. I'm asking for prayer
because right now I have noone. I am barely able to function I am so weak.
My family seem to be self serving & use me as scapegoat. God Help me. I
know I am victim soul.. right now I am scared.
(Anonymous, 3/12/2011 3:27:04 PM)

That my work remains secure even after the struggles with my last task,
plus also that myself and my new loved one can come together very soon.
(Joel, Ashburn, VA, United States, 3/12/2011 3:10:11 PM)

Please pray for our CLAY group as I spoke to them about the stations of
the cross and even showed them what they should due by us going threw
the complete stations together; provided them with a booklet (kids version
easy to understand) and advised that they should due this every friday till
Good Friday this way here they could prepare there hearst in this time of
Lent and they will be filled with a deeper love for Jesus. However not sure
if they really got anything out of it as they were not really focused due to
the march break lets remember they are from kindergarden to grade 5. I
also advised if they could go to church on fridays for the stations that
would be better but if there parents could not take them then to due in
there bedrooms so they could be alone with Jesus or even due as a family.
Appreciate your prayers these young ones really need it as there is not full
support at home.
(Anonymous, 3/12/2011 2:59:35 PM)

Please pray for me and my daughters that the ears to our souls hear God's
calling to holiness. Also that He be our ONLY heart treasure and if there is
anything that is blocking Jesus from being our ONE AND ONLY heart
treasure that He remove it, All for His Glory . Thank you - Blessings to all
that are praying for us.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church


LENT AND BAPTISM

INTENSE JOURNEY

As she awaits the definitive encounter with her Spouse in the eternal Easter,
the Church community, assiduous in prayer and charitable works, intensifies
her journey in purifying the spirit, so as to draw more abundantly from the
Mystery of Redemption the new life in Christ the Lord...


"JOYFUL AND EXULTING ADVENTURE"

This very life was already bestowed upon us on the day of our Baptism, when
we "become sharers in Christ's death and Resurrection", and there began for
us "the joyful and exulting adventure of His disciples" (homily 1/10/2010).


ENCOUNTER CHRIST

Baptism is not a rite from the past, but the encounter with Christ, which
informs the entire existence of the baptized, imparting divine life and calling
for sincere conversion; initiated and supported by Grace, it permits the
baptized to reach the adult stature of Christ.
