February 7th, The 5th Sunday in ordinary time
This week, oh! Christ, Your church celebrates the feast of "Our Lady of Lourdes".
The power of the miracles that are coming from this holy place should be astounding the world,
and yet we hardly ever even talk about Your presense there at Lourdes.
Mary, through You, as always is constanly helping her children.
She, as always, is calling us to a greater trust and faith in You.
Jesus, thank You for mom and thank You for Your never ending love.
Jesus, keep giving us Your miracles.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday HIS SAY-SO
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/7/2016
"If You say so, I will lower the nets." -Luke 5:5
One of the most crucial decisions in life is to do what we don't understand,
just because God said so. This is walking by faith, not by sight (2 Cor 5:7).
In this way, we let the Lord raise us above our human limitations. Children
who refuse to do something just because their parents tell them to do it will
seriously deprive themselves. It's the same with us who are God's children.
We don't know everything we need to know. We don't know the future. We can't
read people's minds. We can't even know ourselves that well. We are doomed to
be captive to our human limitations unless we have the faith to obey the
all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving God.
The truly great people in history obeyed God when they didn't understand. Noah
couldn't understand why God wanted him to build an ark. Moses didn't see how
he could free his nation from slavery. Isaiah didn't understand why he should
prophesy to a nation that God knew wouldn't listen (Is 6:8-10). Ananias didn't
think it was a good idea to visit Saul, who was in town to arrest Christians
(Acts 9:13ff). Joseph didn't see why he should refrain from divorcing Mary
(Mt 1:19). Mary didn't understand how she could remain a virgin and conceive
Jesus. Trust not in your own understanding (Prv 3:5). Obey God.
Prayer: Father, may I go against my "better" judgment and do Your will.
Promise: "By God's favor I am what I am." -1 Cor 15:10
Praise: "How deep are the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How
inscrutable His judgments, how unsearchable His ways!...To Him be glory forever.
Amen" (Rm 11:33, 36).
Monday THE MOST PRIVILEGED PEOPLE EVER
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/8/2016
"I have truly built You a princely house, a dwelling where You may abide forever."
-1 Kings 8:13
Tuesday PURITY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=2/9/2016
"Why do Your disciples not follow the tradition of our ancestors, but instead
take food without purifying their hands?" -Mark 7:5

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2016-01.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
INDIFFERENCE AND PEACE
"NOT INDIFFERENT"
God is not indifferent! God cares about mankind! God does not abandon us!
At the beginning of the New Year, I would like to share not only this
profound conviction but also my cordial good wishes for prosperity, peace
and the fulfillment of the hopes of every man and every woman, every family,
people and nation throughout the world , including all Heads of State and
Government and all religious leaders.
GOD'S GIFT
Peace is both God's gift and a human achievement. As a gift of God, it is
entrusted to all men and women, who are called to attain it.
WITNESS TO MERCY
... With the present Jubilee of Mercy I want to invite the Church to pray
and work so that every Christian will have a humble and compassionate heart,
one capable of proclaiming and witnessing to mercy.
(Source: Message for World Day of Peace, dated 12/8/2015)
