November 3rd Thirty-first Sunday in ordinary time
This week, oh! Jesus, we celebrate the feasts of "All Saints" and
"All Souls" days.
Help us to really make a conscious effort to intercede to the saints,
so that they can intercede for us.
Help us to realize that as they love You, so they also love Your
children living on earth.
Help us also pray for the souls in purgatory, so that they may soon
be released into Your heavenly kingdom where they can spend
eternity in glory and adoration of the triune God.
Thank You for all the saints in heaven and in purgatory.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday CROWD CONTROL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/3/2013
"He was trying to see what Jesus was like, but being small of stature, was unable to do so
because of the crowd." -Luke 19:3
So many people are trying to see what Jesus is like. Yet they're small and the crowd is
large. Sometimes the crowd isn't people around us but things inside us. How many have a
crowd of fears, doubts, and selfish desires inside? To see Jesus, we must fight our way
through the crowd (see Lk 8:45) or climb above it.
If I told you to go to Confession right now, a crowd would form for some of you. You may
feel afraid, and before long you'd have a hundred reasons why you're not going. You have to
fight through the crowd to touch Jesus and be washed in His blood.
What if I told you to go to Mass daily, lead someone to Christ, or tithe? For many of us,
another crowd of sin, selfishness, doubt, fear, and anxiety would form. We must climb the
tree of faith above the crowd and fight by faith through the crowd. Don't be crowded out of
eternal life; enter in by faith.
Prayer: "We pray for you always that our God may make you worthy of His call, and fulfill
by His power every honest intention and work of faith. In this way the name of our Lord
Jesus may be glorified in you and you in Him" (2 Thes 1:11-12).
Promise: "You have mercy on all, because You can do all things; and You overlook the sins
of men that they may repent." -Wis 11:23
Praise: All praise be to You, glorious, risen Lord Jesus Christ! You reign supreme over the
crowd of creation. I worship You, magnificent in glory.
Monday TERMS OF REPAYMENT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/4/2013
"You should be pleased that they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid in the
resurrection of the just." -Luke 14:14
Tuesday EXERCISE IN THE SPIRIT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=11/5/2013
"We have gifts that differ according to the favor bestowed on each of us." -Romans 12:6

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FAITH AND MISSION
LIVE THE WONDER
The Church ... is ... a community of people, animated by the Holy Spirit, who have lived
and are living the encounter with Jesus Christ and want to share this experience of deep
joy, the message of salvation that the Lord gave us. It is the Holy Spirit Who guides the
Church in this path.
PREACH THE GOSPEL WITH COURAGE
This year, as we celebrate World Mission Day, the Year of Faith, which is an important
opportunity to strengthen our friendship with the Lord and our journey as a Church that
preaches the Gospel with courage, comes to an end.
"EXPERIENCE THE JOY"
Everyone should be able to experience the joy of being loved by God, the joy of salvation!
It is a gift that one cannot keep to oneself, but it is to be shared. If we want to keep
it only to ourselves, we will become isolated, sterile and sick Christians.
(Source: Message for World Mission Day, dated 5/19/13)
