FREE, JOYFUL SUBMISSION
"Be submissive to one another out of fear of Christ. Wives should be submissive to their husbands as if to the Lord." —Ephesians 5:21-22, our transl.

The most important thing in life is to do God’s will. To do God’s will is our food (Jn 4:34). Without doing His will, we do not enter His kingdom (Mt 7:21). He who does God’s will is “brother and sister and mother” to Jesus (Mt 12:50). “By this ‘will,’ we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Heb 10:10).

A major question in life is: “Am I doing God’s will?” Most of the time we can know whether we are doing God’s will because He has revealed His will to us through the Church and especially her Scriptures. Yet there are often times when we don’t definitely know God’s will. In these cases, we must either discern His will and follow our consciences or be in submission to God-given authority. When we follow our consciences, we aren’t always sure whether we are in God’s will. When we are in submission to those whom God has given authority over us, we are sure we are in God’s will.

Submission is a gift which guarantees we are doing God’s will. Submission gives us freedom and joy. Rejoice in the gift of submission.

Prayer: Father, through submission make me free and not co-dependent.

Promise: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church. He gave Himself up for her to make her holy, purifying her in the bath of water by the power of the word." —Eph 5:25-26

Praise: Robert and Ann have planned a date night regularly even as their family grew. They trust the Lord to bless their marriage with His ever-increasing grace.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF SEXUAL PURITY - One Bread, One Body,10/26/2020

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF SEXUAL PURITY
"No fornicator, no unclean or lustful person...has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." —Ephesians 5:5

God’s Word speaks boldly to a society wallowing in sexual sin.

1)      Our holiness forbids the mention of “lewd conduct or promiscuousness or lust of any sort” (Eph 5:3).

2)      Not only obscene but silly or suggestive talk is out of place (Eph 5:4).

3)      We should replace such talk with words of thanksgiving (Eph 5:4).

4)      An unclean or lustful person is in effect an idolator (Eph 5:5).

5)      No lustful person “has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God” (Eph 5:5).

6)      People will use “worthless arguments” to deceive us about sexual morality (Eph 5:6).

7)      Sexual sins “bring God’s wrath down on the disobedient” (Eph 5:6).

8)      We are to “have nothing to do with” sexual sins (Eph 5:7).

9)      We are to go to extremes to resist the temptation to look lustfully (Mt 5:28).

10) “Whoever rejects these instructions rejects, not man, but God” (1 Thes 4:8).

The Lord not only commands us to resist sexual temptations but gives us the grace to do so. By His grace, we can be pure as Jesus is pure (1 Jn 3:3).

Prayer: Father, may I be "pure and follow the Lamb wherever He goes" (Rv 14:4).

Promise: "Should not this daughter of Abraham here who has been in the bondage of Satan for eighteen years have been released from her shackles on the sabbath?" —Lk 13:16

Praise: Jane and her godly friends dress alike, modestly (see 1 Jn 3:3).

PM eNewsletter 30th Sunday in ordinary time

October 25th 30th Sunday in ordinary time.


Jesus, it is good for us to pray for all those who have died and gone before us.

Give us the inspiration to pray especially for those in purgatory who have no one to pray for them.

Let us be aware that those in purgatory depend on us to get them into the glory of heaven through our
prayers, masses, and the charitable acts that we do for there release.

Jesus, continue to grace us to understand that our brothers and sisters who have gone before us have
changed into eternal beings that are now in the communion of saints forever and ever.

Amen and Amen.

Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections


Sunday QUESTION BOX
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-10-25-en

"When the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled in a body; and one of them, a
lawyer, in an attempt to trip Him up, asked Him..." -Matthew 22:34-35

Jesus was asked what was the greatest commandment. He answered not only by giving the greatest commandment
but also the first one, the second one, and the basis of the whole law and of the prophets (Mt 22:37-40).
When we ask Jesus a question, we often get much more than we bargained for. That's why we may feel afraid
to ask Him questions (Mk 9:32).

Jesus may be "too much" for us (Mk 6:3). He will give us more than we can ever ask for or imagine (Eph 3:20).
That means we're not in control of everything. The Lord will be Lord of our questions. In fact, He wants to
be Lord of everything, including our lives. At the name of Jesus, every knee must bend (Phil 2:10).

Nonetheless, I challenge you to ask Jesus a question. Be prepared to not be prepared and not be in control.
Be prepared to be loved and surprised, to repent and obey.

Jesus alone is the Answer. Therefore, when we ask Jesus a question, we can expect something special. Go
ahead; dare to ask Jesus a question.

Prayer: Jesus, I will trust You enough to ask and receive (Mt 7:7).

Promise: "The word of the Lord has echoed forth from you resoundingly." -1 Thes 1:8

Praise: "Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will come to life again" (1 Cor 15:22). Risen Jesus, how
can we thank You enough for Your sacrifice? We are all Yours.

“A TIME TO UPROOT THE PLANT” (Eccl 3:2) - O=?utf-8?Q?ne_Bread,_One_Body,_10/24/2020?=

Saturday, October 24, 2020, St. Anthony Mary Claret

Ephesians 4:7-16
Psalm 122:1-5
Luke 13:1-9
View Readings

"A TIME TO UPROOT THE PLANT" (Eccl 3:2)
"Through Him the whole body grows." —Ephesians 4:16

God began His cultivation of the earth in the Garden of Eden (Gn 2:8ff). Man was assigned to care for the Garden of Eden, but man and woman didn’t care for the garden. Instead, they cared for their own curiosity. So man was banished from the garden. Then Jesus came and restored man’s access to God’s gardening. To do this, Jesus had to be betrayed, suffer anguish, and be arrested in a garden, Gethsemane. Finally, “in the place where [Jesus] had been crucified there was a garden” (Jn 19:41).

Mary Magdalene on the morning of the Resurrection thought Jesus was the Gardener (Jn 20:15). In a way, she was correct. Jesus restored the garden and made it surpass even the original beauty of Eden. He now calls us to join Him forever in “the garden of God” (Rv 2:7).

We are to grow from little plants (Eph 4:12-15) to full, fruitful plants. Jesus the Gardener gives us everything needed to flourish in His garden. But we don’t have unlimited time to bear fruit. There is a time of reaping fruit from our lives (see Lk 13:8-9). We have a merciful Gardener Who gives us every opportunity, and does so far more patiently than most gardeners ever will. So let us surrender all to the cultivation of Jesus the Gardener.

Even if we have had many fruitless, sinful years of life, Jesus the Gardener can make our lives beautiful and fruitful — by His grace and not our efforts. Like Mary, let it be done to us according to God’s will.

Prayer: Father, do in me whatever You must, to do through me whatever You will.

Promise: "Let us profess the truth in love and grow to the full maturity of Christ the Head." —Eph 4:15

Praise: St. Anthony Claret is known as the spiritual father of Cuba. In his popular missions he placed emphasis on the Eucharist and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

THE SEVENFOLD UNITY - One Bread, One Body, 10/23/2020

Friday, October 23, 2020, St. John of Capistrano

Ephesians 4:1-6
Psalm 24:1-6
Luke 12:54-59
View Readings

THE SEVENFOLD UNITY
"Make every effort to preserve the unity." —Ephesians 4:3

From prison, St. Paul pleaded with his Christian brothers and sisters to “live a life worthy” of their calling (Eph 4:1). This meant being humble, meek, long-suffering, and lovingly forbearing (Eph 4:2). This radically different way of life was necessary to preserve and deepen the early Church’s unity in the Spirit (Eph 4:3). The priority was unity in the body, unity in the Spirit, and unity in hope; unity in the Lord, faith, and baptism, and unity in the God and Father of all (Eph 4:4-6). This sevenfold unity is still necessary for our lives to be worthy of our calling by the Lord.

Jesus is continuing to pray that we be one as He and the Father are one (Jn 17:21). Despite centuries of disunity among the various Christian denominations; despite millions of people not living their marriage vows or living together without making marriage vows; despite an almost total disregard for a practical living out of our baptismal brotherhood and sisterhood; despite the utter divisiveness and disunity of sin, the Lord will never change (see Mal 3:6; Heb 13:8). He wants us in unity with Him and with each other. We must be united even if we have to die for it, because He already has died for it (Jn 11:51-52).

Repent! Live a worthy, humble life of unity.

Prayer: Father, give me Your heart for the unity of all Christians.

Promise: "There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, Who is over all, and works through all, and is in all." —Eph 4:5-6

Praise: Have you ever been drawn to an exceptional preacher? St. John lived during a time of religious apathy, yet defied the odds by attracting tens of thousands of listeners to his sermons. He and twelve of his fellow Franciscans were instrumental in the renewal of a dying faith in Central Europe.

ALL IN THE FAMILY - One Bread, One Body, 10/22/2020

Thursday, October 22, 2020, Pope St. John Paul II

Ephesians 3:14-21
Psalm 33:1-2, 4-5, 11-12, 18-19
Luke 12:49-53
View Readings

ALL IN THE FAMILY
"I kneel before the Father from Whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name; and I pray." —Ephesians 3:14-16

Today’s first reading is possibly the greatest family prayer ever. It teaches us that, when we pray for our family and others, we should first of all pray for “gifts in keeping with the riches of His glory” (Eph 3:16). Family life is humanly impossible. We must admit this and then pray for supernatural gifts from God.

The demands of family life are overwhelming. The only way we will survive is by asking for and receiving inward strength “through the working of His Spirit” (Eph 3:16). We need not only divine gifts and inward strength, but we need God Himself to reside in our family (Eph 3:17). We bring this about by inviting Jesus into our hearts through faith (Eph 3:17). With God actually living in our family, love can now be the root and foundation of our family life (Eph 3:17), for God is Love (1 Jn 4:16). Because “love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Pt 4:8) and “never fails” (1 Cor 13:8), our families will be holy families, built up in love (Eph 4:16).

This may seem impossible to you, but God’s “power now at work in us can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine” (Eph 3:20). So start praying the family prayer in Ephesians 3:16-17. Keep praying and obeying. Your family will be so transformed that, when you have a family reunion in heaven soon, not one family member will be missing.

Prayer: Father, may my family "grasp fully, with all the holy ones, the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love, and experience this love" (Eph 3:18-19).

Promise: "I have come to light a fire on the earth. How I wish the blaze were ignited!" —Lk 12:49

Praise: Pope St. John Paul II beatified 1,338 people and canonized 482 saints in his long papacy. He was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. He is credited with the collapse of Communism in Central and Eastern Europe.
