September 7th 23rd Sunday in ordinary time.
Almighty God, Your plan of salvation started with the birth of
the "new ark of the covenent" Mary or mother, that the
church celebrates this week.
Jesus, Your son, needed a pure vessel in which to be born
into, and so You chose Mary, and she accepted and so
became the mother of Jesus.
How blessed we are to have such a woman of love who
constantly intercedes for us always.
Thank You, Father, for Your perfect plan which worked out
in and through Jesus, who died on the cross that we might
have life everlasting.
Thank You for loving us always.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "APPOINTED WATCHMAN"
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/7/2014
"You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel;
when you hear Me say anything, you shall warn them for Me." -Ezekiel 33:7
When we see someone sinning, we must repent of our own sins (Mt 7:5),
petition God to give life to the sinner (1 Jn 5:16), and warn the
person sinning. If we don't do this, we might be held responsible
for the sinner's death (Ez 33:8).
If the person sinning is a Christian, we should warn him in a personal
conversation just between the two of us (Mt 18:15). This usually
works, especially if we don't tell anyone else, even our spouse,
about the sin. If this personal warning doesn't result in repentance,
we should meet with the person sinning and two or three witnesses
(Mt 18:16-17). This will usually clear up any misunderstanding and
be a stronger call to repentance. If this doesn't work, we should
refer the situation to the Church (Mt 18:17). After informing the
person sinning, we should refer it to the leader, pastor, bishop,
and/or apostolic delegate. Their responsibility is to take it from
there. Then we should repent of our sins and petition the Lord to
give life to the sinner (see 1 Jn 5:16). "Again I tell you, if two
of you join your voices on earth to pray for anything whatever, it
shall be granted you by My Father in heaven" (Mt 18:19).
Prayer: Father, may I love people enough to tell them the truth
(Eph 4:15). May I repent of the selfishness of permissiveness.
Promise: "Love never wrongs the neighbor, hence love is the
fulfillment of the law." -Rm 13:10
Praise: Alleluia! Because we believe in Jesus risen, we will be
saved (Rm 10:9) and be risen from the dead! Alleluia!
Monday BIRTH OR BOREDOM?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/8/2014
"Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob
the father of Judah." -Matthew 1:2
Tuesday WHAT'S IN A NAME?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/9/2014
"Do not deceive yourselves: no fornicators, idolaters, or adulterers,
no sodomites, thieves, misers, or drunkards, no slanderers or robbers
will inherit God's kingdom." -1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WORLD MISSION DAY
SUPPORT THE MISSIONS
World Mission Day is ... an occasion to rekindle the desire and the
moral obligation to take joyful part in the mission ad gentes. A
monetary contribution ... is the sign of a self-offering, first to
the Lord and then to others, in this way a material offering can
become a means for the evangelization of humanity built on love.
TURN TO MARY
Let us pray through the intercession of Mary, the model of humble
and joyful evangelization, that the Church may become a welcoming
home, a mother for all peoples and the source of rebirth for our
world.
MISSIONARY BY NATURE
... The Church is missionary by her very nature: she was born "to
go forth."
(Source: Message for World Mission Day, issued June 8, 2014)
