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.
Thank You Jesus. Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday A BIG TO-DO
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=8/30/2009
"Act on this word. If all you do is listen to it, you are deceiving
yourselves." —James 1:22
Some of you have been reading this booklet, One Bread, One
Body, for years. You have read hundreds and thousands of
Scripture passages. You are greatly blessed. The Lord is not
expecting us to remember all these Bible verses or to know how
to interpret them all. He does expect us to live them all by His grace.
Knowing God's word demands doing His word. On Judgment
Day, the Lord will not ask us what we know of His word, but
how we've lived it. "For it is not those who hear the law who
are just in the sight of God; it is those who keep it who will
be declared just" (Rm 2:13).
So let's not kid ourselves. Let's take every word of the Bible to
heart and to life. "Humbly welcome the word that has taken
root in you, with its power to save you" (Jas 1:21). The Lord
will never give us a commandment without empowering us to do it.
Jesus promised: "Anyone who hears My words and puts them
into practice is like the wise man who built his house on rock"
(Mt 7:24). "He is no forgetful listener, but one who carries out
the law in practice. Blest will this man be in whatever he does"
(Jas 1:25). Jesus also promised: "My mother and My brothers
are those who hear the word of God and act upon it" (Lk 8:21).
Do the word.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me; therefore He has anointed
Me. He has sent Me to bring glad tidings to the poor." —Luke 4:18

you off guard, like a thief." —1 Thessalonians 5:4

driving away Satan and his wicked legions be blessed with
strength seventy thousand fold to hasten the complete fall of
Satan. Lord, you alone would be enough for us to live and our
hope is in Thee. We ask this favor through Jesus Christ our
Lord who died and was risen from the dead and who reigns
forever. Father, I pray for all souls in purgatory and in most

on all souls for them to praise you all time living in eternal

of hell. I ask this through the mighty and powerful name of
Jesus Christ. Amen

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
GRANDPARENTS: A TREASURE
"JOIN FORCES"
It is necessary to join forces to defeat together all
forms of marginalization, for it is not only they
— grandfathers, grandmothers, senior citizens
— who are being injured by the individualistic
mindset, but everyone. If grandparents, as is often
said and on many sides, are a precious resource,
it is necessary to put into practice coherent
choices that allow them to be better valued.
"NOURISH FAITH AND HOPE"
May the Virgin Mary ... help them [grandparents]
always to nourish their faith and hope at the
sources of the Word of God.
(Sources: Angelus, 7/26/09; Address to Pontifical
Council for the Family, 4/5/08)
