June 9th, Tenth Sunday in Ordinary time
Jesus, as we see the beauty of the world around us, open our eyes to see the beauty of
the Eucharist.
Let us see in the consecrated Host, Your true self.
Let us truly realize that this gift of Your continued love, is really, and truly,
present in the consecrated bread and wine.
Let us come to adoration, and if our church doesn't have adoration, let us ask that we
be able to come, and sit before the tabernacle, and worship and glorify You.
Let us sit in prayerful silence at Your true presence.
Let us offer our lives as vessels to bring peace in our homes, and in the world around us.
Let us be totally Yours in all of our thoughts, words, and actions.
Let us be seen as disciples of Christ, at home and in the work place.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday FUNERAL HOME FAITH
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/9/2013
"The Lord heard the prayer of Elijah; the life breath returned to the child's body and he
revived." -1 Kings 17:22
Jesus interrupted a funeral procession, touched the litter, and said: " 'Young man, I bid you get
up.' The dead man sat up" (Lk 7:14-15). He also raised Lazarus from the dead (Jn 11:43ff).
Moreover, He promised we would do greater by far than He (Jn 14:12), and commanded us to "raise
the dead" (Mt 10:8). Peter likewise raised the dead (Acts 9:40). Even Elijah and Elisha in the
old covenant could raise the dead (1 Kgs 17:22; 2 Kgs 4:32ff; 13:21).
Modern Christians try to explain away the obvious Biblical teaching that followers of Jesus are
to raise the dead. Although not everything in the Bible is intended to be taken literally, we have
no indication in the Biblical text that references to raising the dead should be taken any other
way. Those who have tried to raise the dead after discerning this to be the will of God have found
that Jesus keeps His promises to give us power to fulfill His commands. However, most Christians
have not had the faith to give it a try.
His "grace is sufficient," even to raise the dead. Trust Him.
Prayer: Father, may I not change the Bible to fit my limitations but change my life to fit the
Bible's expectations.
Promise: "The gospel I proclaimed to you is no mere human invention. I did not receive it from any
man, nor was I schooled in it. It came by revelation from Jesus Christ." -Gal 1:11-12
Praise: Praise Jesus, Whose grace is sufficient to help us carry the crosses of our lives! "Sing
praise to the Lord, you His faithful ones, and give thanks to His holy name" (Ps 30:5).
Monday BLESS US, O LORD?

"All of us, gazing on the Lord's glory with unveiled faces, are being transformed from
glory to glory into His very image by the Lord Who is the Spirit." -2 Corinthians 3:18
Jesus promised to be with us always even to the end of the world (Mt 28:20). At the
Last Supper, He said: "This is My body," "This is My blood" (Mk 14:22, 24), and "Do
this as a remembrance of Me" (Lk 22:19). After receiving the Holy Spirit, the early

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2013-06.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
THE HOLY SPIRIT
"GOD'S SURPRISES"
Let us ask ourselves today: Are we open to "God's surprises"? Or are we closed and fearful
before the newness of the Holy Spirit? Do we have the courage to strike out along the new
paths which God's newness sets before us, or do we resist, barricaded in transient
structures which have lost their capacity for openness to what is new? We would do well to
ask ourselves these questions all through the day.
"THE SPIRIT OF UNITY"
... The Holy Spirit would appear to create disorder in the Church, since He brings the
diversity of charisms and gifts; yet all this, by His working, is a great source of wealth,
for the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of unity, which does not mean uniformity, but which leads
everything back to harmony.
NOT A CONFLICT
... If we let ourselves be guided by the Spirit, richness, variety and diversity never become
a source of conflict, because He impels us to experience variety within the communion of the
Church. Journeying together in the Church, under the guidance of her pastors who possess a
special charism and ministry, is a sign of the working of the Holy Spirit.
