September 30th, 26th Sunday in ordinary time
Jesus, as always, You give us great help, and You have, by giving us Your angels.
Lord, we are blessed that Your angels are messengers, and helpers, and advocates before Your throne.
This week, Jesus, we celebrate the archangels and guardian angels.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your loving care, and Your plan for our salvation.
Thank You for giving us such beautiful guides and defenders, we thank You for their love and
steadfastness.
We thank You that they are so willing to stay with us, through all the difficulties of our lives,
and will even guard us at our deaths.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday ANY JEALOUS BONES IN YOUR BODY?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=9/30/2018
"Are you jealous?" -Numbers 11:29
The devil couldn't stop the seventy-two Israelite elders from receiving the Spirit (see Nm 11:25-26).
However, he hoped to be more successful by enticing the Israelites to quench the Spirit (1 Thes 5:19)
through jealousy (Nm 11:29).
Demons could not prevent a man from using Jesus' name to expel them (Mk 9:38). Therefore, they tried
to stop the continuation of this man's ministry of deliverance (Mk 9:38). Once again, the demons tried
to accomplish this through jealousy.
Jesus is dead set against jealous people being sad at others' successes and thereby saddening the Holy
Spirit (Eph 4:30). He warns that if we're jealous of other people's hands because they work better
than ours and can make more money, then we should cut off our own hands rather than remain rooted in
jealousy (Mk 9:43). If we're jealous of others' speed, strength, or health, we should cut off our feet
(Mk 9:45). If we're jealous of how others look, we should tear out one of our eyes (Mk 9:47). If you
have a "jealous bone in your body," Jesus says to take out the bone or amputate that part of your body.
Jealousy is one of the works of the flesh (Gal 5:20). "I warn you, as I have warned you before: those
who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!" (Gal 5:21) Repent of jealousy. Don't compare
yourself with others. Believe in God the Father's love for you as His child.
Prayer: Father, I offer my body to You as a living sacrifice (Rm 12:1).
Promise: "Would that all the people of the Lord were prophets! Would that the Lord might bestow His
Spirit on them all!" -Nm 11:29
Praise: "He is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords Who alone has
immortality and Who dwells in unapproachable light, Whom no human being has ever seen or can see. To
Him be honor and everlasting rule! Amen" (1 Tm 6:15-16).
Monday LOVE NO MATTER WHAT
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/1/2018
"Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?" -Job 1:9
Tuesday GUARDING ATTACKERS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=10/2/2018
"I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. My angel will go before you." -Exodus 23:22-23

For the last couple of weeks I am feeling a constriction in my neck which makes me feel like as if I
am being choked. It is becoming really hard for me to concentrate on anything as I have frequent panic
attacks for this. I request you to pray for me so that the problem I am having with my neck is healed.
(Priyangona G., Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 9/29/2018 9:04:09 AM)
This Golden Hour in Holy Mother Church, is also our Golden Opportunity for holiness, salvation and our
determined effort to bring down the structures of sin in our own lives; first, then the structures of
sin outside of ourselves, . This is a "great" opportunity to press forward, the battle against the
devil and his evil cohorts.

Give no credence to the words of men. However: Do Trust in the Holy Words of God. In the end; 'only'
the Holy Words of God will matter.

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WATER AND CARE OF CREATION
PRAYERFUL HOPE
It is my prayerful hope that Christian communities may contribute more and more concretely helping
everyone to enjoy this indispensable resource, in respectful care for the gifts received from the
Creator, and in particular rivers, seas and oceans.
SIMPLE AND PRECIOUS
... Water ... is a very simple and precious element, yet access to it is, sadly, for many people
difficult if not impossible. Nonetheless, "access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal
human right, since it is essential to human survival and ... is a condition for the exercise of
other human rights. Our world owes a great social debt towards the poor who lack access to drinking
water, because they are denied the right to a life consistent with their inalienable dignity"
(Laudato Si', 30).
"SISTER WATER"
... I feel the need to give thanks to God for "Sister Water", simple and useful for life like
nothing else on our planet. Precisely for this reason, care for water sources and water basins is an
urgent imperative... We urgently need shared projects and concrete gestures that recognize that
every privatization of the natural good of water , at the expense of the human right to have access
to this good, is unacceptable.
(Source: Message for World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, 9/1/2018)
