PM eNewsletter 28th Sunday in ordinary time

October 14th 28th Sunday in ordinary time.

This week, Lord, You showed us Your most precious Sacred Heart by appearing to St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque.

You told us to adore You by meditating on Your heart of love, and by having Your heart displayed
prominently in our homes.

Please Lord, help all people to realize what a blessing it is to be able to look at Your Sacred
Heart, and see the fire of love, the crown of thorns, and the blood of forgiveness, coming from
Your heart.

Let us feel the peace of Your love, and help us to get the continued graces that we need to face
all the challenges of life.

Amen and Amen.


Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections


Sunday GIVE UP
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/14/2018

"Jesus answered: 'I give you My word, there is no one who has given up home, brothers or sisters,
mother or father, children or property, for Me and for the gospel who will not receive in this
present age a hundred times as many homes, brothers and sisters, mothers, children and property -
and persecution besides - and in the age to come, everlasting life.' " -Mark 10:29-30

We will either give up our lives for love of Jesus, or we will give up hope. We will either
abandon ourselves to Him or we will despair as life becomes impossible. One way or the other, we
will give up.

To give up our lives to Jesus, we must be set free from our addiction to self. This can be done
only by receiving God's love. Naturally, we desperately cling to our lives with the clenched fists
of selfishness. Only by God's love can we unclench our fists, open our hands, and let our lives
fall into the hands of God (see Heb 10:31). In today's Gospel reading, before Jesus told the young
rich man to give up everything and follow Him, He looked at the man with love (Mk 10:21).

At this moment, Jesus is looking at each one of us with His divine, crucified love. If we look
into the eyes of Love, we will be impelled by love to live no longer for ourselves but for Him
(2 Cor 5:14-15). Be loved by Love into love. Stunned by love, drop everything and give up your life
to Him Who is Love (1 Jn 4:16).


Prayer: Father, make Your love the root and foundation of my life (Eph 3:17).

Promise: "God's word is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates and
divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the reflections and thoughts of the heart."
-Heb 4:12

Praise: Alleluia! Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life (Jn 11:25). All glory be to Him!

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

WATER AND CARE OF CREATION


LITTERED SEAS

We cannot allow our seas and oceans to be littered by endless fields of floating plastic... Our
active commitment is needed to confront this emergency. We need to pray as if everything depended
on God's providence, and work as if everything depended on us.


PRAYERFUL HOPE

It is my prayerful hope that Christian communities may contribute more and more concretely helping
everyone to enjoy this indispensable resource, in respectful care for the gifts received from the
Creator, and in particular rivers, seas and oceans.


SIMPLE AND PRECIOUS

... Water ... is a very simple and precious element, yet access to it is, sadly, for many people
difficult if not impossible. Nonetheless, "access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal
human right, since it is essential to human survival and ... is a condition for the exercise of
other human rights. Our world owes a great social debt towards the poor who lack access to drinking
water, because they are denied the right to a life consistent with their inalienable dignity"
(Laudato Si', 30).

GIVE UP - One Bread, One Body, 10/14/2018

Sunday, October 14, 2018, 28th Sunday Ordinary Time

Wisdom 7:7-11, Hebrews 4:12-13, Psalm 90:12-17, Mark 10:17-30

GIVE UP

"Jesus answered: 'I give you My word, there is no one who has given up home, brothers or sisters, mother or father, children or property, for Me and for the gospel who will not receive in this present age a hundred times as many homes, brothers and sisters, mothers, children and property - and persecution besides - and in the age to come, everlasting life.'

CLOTHES LINES - One Bread, One Body, 10/13/2018

Saturday, October 13, 2018

Galatians 3:22-29, Psalm 105:2-7, Luke 11:27-28
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/101318.cfm

CLOTHES LINES

"All of you who have been baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Him." -Galatians 3:27

Being clothed with Christ means:

* living "honorably as in daylight" and making "no provision for the desires of the flesh" (Rm 13:13, 14),
* putting "on that new man created in God's image, whose justice and holiness are born of truth" (Eph 4:24),
* being clothed "with power from on high" (Lk 24:49), that is, the Holy Spirit (see Acts 1:8),
* clothing ourselves "with heartfelt mercy, with kindness, humility, meekness, and patience" (Col 3:12),
* clothing ourselves with humility in our "relations with one another" (1 Pt 5:5),
* "putting on faith and love as a breastplate and the hope of salvation as a helmet" (1 Thes 5:8), and
* putting "on the armor of God" so that we "may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil" (Eph 6:11).

When you were baptized, you were clothed with a baptismal garment to symbolize being clothed with Christ. Have you put on the full clothing and armor of God? Are you living your Baptism to the full?


Prayer: Father, may I "dress for success," that is, eternal life.

Promise: "Blest are they who hear the word of God and keep it." -Lk 11:28

Praise: Jane stopped praying for her husband to change and began to pray that she find new ways to support, encourage, and love him.

(To help clothe yourself with Christ, read the Bible daily. Order, listen to, or download any or all of the following CDs or DVDs on our website: "Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ", CD 82-1, DVD 82; "How to Pray the Bible", CD 82-3, DVD 82; "How to Read the Bible", CD 46-3, DVD 46; "Principles of Bible Interpretation", CD 79-1, DVD 79.)

CROSSING THE STATE LINES - One Bread, One Body, 10/12/2018

Friday, October 12, 2018

Galatians 3:7-14, Psalm 111:1-6, Luke 11:15-26
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/101218.cfm

CROSSING THE STATE LINES

"The result is that the last state of the man is worse than the first." -Luke 11:26

The worst and sometimes last state of a human being is to be repossessed by a devil and newly possessed by several other devils (Lk 11:26). The first step of the road to this worst state is to be possessed by a devil. Most people think that very few people are in the first or last state. However, in the second letter of Peter, the Lord refers to the first state not as the unusual situation of being demon-possessed but as simply our original state, that is, being a human person with our fallen, demonically-influenced nature. We are freed from this first and original state by being baptized and living our Baptisms "by recognizing the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Pt 2:20). Because our Baptisms are irreversible, we can never revert to our first state.

However, we can refuse to live our Baptisms. Thereby we enter a third and worst state of being a fallen-away, lukewarm Christian. When we choose to enter this third state, we make void the cross of Jesus for ourselves (see 1 Cor 1:17), nauseate Jesus (Rv 3:16), cause our Baptisms to backfire, and open the door of our lives to old and new demons. Therefore, we must grow and persevere in our love for the Lord. That is the second and best state, and it should be the last state.


Prayer: Father, may I never love You less.

Promise: "All who believe are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith." -Gal 3:9

Praise: Warren stayed away from Church for twenty-five years. His brother gave him a copy of One Bread, One Body. Warren repented, was reconciled to God and the Church, and is now eagerly devouring the Word of God (Jer 15:16).

FIELDS OF FLESH - One Bread, One Body, 10/11/2018

Thursday, October 11, 2018

Galatians 3:1-5, Luke 1:69-75, Luke 11:5-13
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/101118.cfm

FIELDS OF FLESH

"After beginning in the Spirit, are you now to end in the flesh?" -Galatians 3:3

The greatest tragedy possible is to end in the flesh. Jesus died and rose to make us new creations. It would be a great tragedy to die still trapped in our fallen nature and refusing the total newness of life in Christ (see 2 Cor 5:17).

If we die in the flesh, it will probably not be because we rebelled against God shortly before our deaths. Dying in the flesh, instead of dying to the flesh, is a harvest of corruption produced by the sowing and growing of seeds in the field of the flesh (Gal 6:8). Where are you sowing now? What fields are you beginning to cultivate? Are you planted as a couch-potato in front of the TV? Are you wasting your seed (see Gn 38:9) in masturbation, artificial contraception, pornography, and other forms of lust? Are you sowing your money in consumerism, gambling, and other forms of greed? The fields you are sowing in will determine what harvest you reap (see Hos 8:7).

Therefore, "put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the desires of the flesh" (Rm 13:14). Crucify the "flesh with its passions and desires" (Gal 5:24). "You are not to spend what remains of your earthly life on human desires but on the will of God. Already you have devoted enough time to what the pagans enjoy" (1 Pt 4:2-3). Do not live "at the level of the flesh," but receive God's mercy (Eph 2:3-4).


Prayer: Holy Spirit, fight against the flesh in my life (Gal 5:17).

Promise: "If you, with all your sins, know how to give your children good things, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?" -Lk 11:13

Praise: Pete and Barbara raised their children without television but with much prayer. They all have remained faithful to the Church in their adulthood.

SUBMISSION IS A "SURE THING" - One Bread, One Body, 10/10/2018

Wednesday, October 10, 2018

Galatians 2:1-2, 7-14, Psalm 117:1-2, Luke 11:1-4
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/101018.cfm

SUBMISSION IS A "SURE THING"

"I went prompted by a revelation, and I laid out for their scrutiny the gospel as I present it." -Galatians 2:2

The Lord commands every Christian to be submissive to God-given authority (Eph 5:21). Wives are to be prime examples of this submission. They are to teach all Christians the peace, joy, freedom, and disciplines of submission (see Eph 5:22).

Submission is not a man-made idea but a gift of God. Thus, God revealed to Paul to submit his ministry and preaching to the authority of the leaders of the Jerusalem church (Gal 2:1-2). In Paul's submission, he received affirmation from the Jerusalem leaders and also "the handclasp of fellowship" (Gal 2:9). Submission leads to affirmation and community. In effect, submission leads to peace and love.

Submission has such good effects not primarily because of the excellence of the people in authority. For example, Cephas, that is, St. Peter, one of the Jerusalem leaders, blundered greatly in Antioch through his duplicity in his relations with Jewish and Gentile Christians (Gal 2:11ff). Submission works because God makes it work even when those in authority don't work out very well.

Submission is a "sure thing" because God backs up His plans. Be submissive and rejoice.


Prayer: Father, free me from co-dependency and for submission.

Promise: "Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins for we too forgive all who do us wrong." -Lk 11:3-4

Praise: Gloria gives her prayerful input to her husband and leaves him to do the same.

(The Psalms say it all! Explore the many rich Psalms that can guide, lead and instruct you in the ways of the Lord.

HEARING AID

"Mary has chosen the better portion and she shall not be deprived of it." -Luke 10:42

Right now, you are reading this booklet, One Bread, One Body, which focuses on listening to the Lord as He speaks through the Church's daily eucharistic Scripture readings. Thank God for you! You are like Mary of Bethany. She chose to put aside all else to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to His words (Lk 10:39). With the psalmist, you've said: "I will hear what God proclaims" (Ps 85:9).

Jesus has very good news for you! Nothing can separate you from His love (Rm 8:39), and nothing can separate you from listening to Him. If you set aside prime time to choose to listen to Jesus above all else, then you won't ever be deprived of hearing what He says (Lk 10:42). You'll hear Him in prayer, and you'll hear Him when you're traveling, working, shopping, changing diapers, cooking, etc. You'll even hear the Lord amid the chaos of loud crowds and confrontations (see Acts 7:56).

Jesus is the Master Communicator. He'll always find a way to get His message across to you if you want to hear what He's saying. All He needs is your attention. Choose "the better portion" and listen faithfully to Him (Lk 10:42). He'll do the rest.


Prayer: Jesus, thank You forever for letting me hear Your words! I commit my entire life to You. May I hear every word You speak (Jn 8:47; 18:37).

Promise: "The time came when He Who had set me apart before I was born and called me by His favor chose to reveal His Son to me." -Gal 1:15-16

Praise: St. Denis responded to the call to evangelize the French. He was martyred for his unwavering faith in Jesus.
