This week Jesus, Your church celebrates two great feasts,
St. Francis of Assisi and Our Lady of the Rosary.
Jesus, help us to trust and walk with You as St. Francis did,
and help us to meditate fully on the rosary as we pray to
You in love.
Jesus, You always give us examples to follow, and we are
truly blessed to have Francis and mom as guides to You.
Lord, help us to have true poverty in heart, mind and soul.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday FANNING THE FLAME
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=10/3/2010
"Stir into flame the gift of God bestowed when my hands were laid
on you." -2 Timothy 1:6
We who have been baptized and confirmed have received the Holy
Spirit. However, we have sinned, given in to fear, and let ourselves
be manipulated by pleasures and pressures. In these ways we have
stifled (1 Thes 5:19) and saddened the Spirit (Eph 4:30). By
repenting, praying, and obeying, we can fan into flame the Holy
Spirit. Then we will be everything Jesus died and rose for us to be.
The grace of our Confirmation will be activated to the full. The Acts
of the Apostles will be the acts of our lives. We will have a new
Pentecost and renew the face of the earth (Ps 104:30).
Go to Confession as soon as possible. Ask the Holy Spirit to help
you confess your sins (see Jn 16:8). After Confession, ask two or
more Spirit-filled Christians to lay hands on you and pray for a
stirring up of the Holy Spirit in your life. Especially ask your spouse
to pray over you.
During or after this prayer you will experience a stirring up of the
Spirit. The Spirit will make you supernaturally strong, loving, and
wise (2 Tm 1:7). You will not be ashamed of the gospel (2 Tm 1:8;
Rm 1:16), but empowered to boldly share your faith. You will have
he faith to do for Jesus what you've never done before, and even
to be persecuted for His gospel.
Monday THE MIRACLE OF LOVE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=10/4/2010
"You shall love." -Luke 10:27
Tuesday MAR-Y-THA
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=10/5/2010
Martha "had a sister named Mary." -Luke 10:39

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2010-09.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
"COURAGE AND HOPE"
Her [Mary's] example of faithful perseverance in doing the will
of God and her heavenly reward are a source of courage and
hope for all of us.
TRUST MARY
... Let us trust in the One who as the Servant of God Paul VI
affirmed "having been assumed into Heaven, she has not
abandoned her mission of intercession and salvation." ... To her,
guide of the Apostles, support of Martyrs, light of the Saints, let
us address our prayers, imploring that she accompany us in this
earthly life, that she help us look to Heaven and that she
welcome us one day together with her Son Jesus.
MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE
Let us entrust to her intercession the daily prayer for peace,
especially in places where the senseless logic of violence is
most ferocious; so that all people may be convinced that in this
world we must help each other, as brothers and sisters, to build
the civilization of love.
