October 4th 27th Sunday in ordinary time.
Jesus, in giving us Mary as our mother, You also gave us through her, a mighty source of power, the rosary.
Please, Jesus, give us the grace as we celebrate the feast of the "Our Lady of the Rosary" this week.
The real desire to glorify You by meditating on the mysteries of life and love.
The joyful, sorrowful, glorious and luminous rosaries give us Your life and the most outstanding moments of
Your actions, that get us all to the eternal life that was established permanently by Your death.
Help us all to say a rosary a day for all of our family members and for peace in our homes and the world.
Thank You for loving us.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday IN LOVE WITH THE MOST REJECTED PERSON
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-10-4-en
"The Stone Which the builders rejected has become the Keystone of the structure. It was the Lord Who did this,
and we find it marvelous to behold." -Matthew 21:42; Psalm 118:22
Think of the person whom you love the most. Possibly this is your spouse, mother, father, child, brother,
sister, or friend. You love this person so much that you would even give up your life for him or her. Now
imagine seeing this person, whom you love so much, being cruelly rejected. This would break your heart, and
you would try to console the one you love by professing your love for him or her.
This situation which I have just described is the circumstance in which Christians live. We disciples of Jesus
love Jesus with all our hearts (see Mt 22:37). He is the Joy and Love of our lives. We love Him more than we
love anyone else. We love Him more than life. Jesus, our Love and Life, is the most rejected Person Who has
ever lived. By our sins, He is cruelly rejected millions of times each day. In a certain way, Jesus continues
to be crucified and held up to contempt (Heb 6:6). He continues to be "the Stone Which the builders rejected"
(Mt 21:42).
Responding in love to the continually rejected Jesus, let us reject Satan, his works, and his promises (rather
than reject Jesus). Let us love Jesus so much that we are rejected with Him.
Prayer: Father, send the Holy Spirit to lead me to renew my baptismal promises more deeply than ever before.
Promise: "Dismiss all anxiety from your minds. Present your needs to God in every form of prayer and in
petitions full of gratitude." -Phil 4:6
Praise: "With power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great respect was
paid to them all" (Acts 4:33). Praise You, Jesus!

Loving God, You have provided in the world many healing remedies to assist us when we are sick. You have given
great knowledge to doctors and scientists to discover medicines that can cure diseases and help our bodies
heal. God of life, hear our prayers. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we humbly ask Your
Blessing for all those who are experiencing the effects of the Coronavirus COVID-19 that they may experience
healing, and be restored to the fullness of health in both mind and body. We humbly open our hearts and call
upon Your Holy and Divine Power to remove this sickness, with the aid of effective medications, so that
recovery may be a cause for joy and thanksgiving to Your Presence in our lives. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the
devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of
God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout our homes, neighborhood, cities,
states, countries and the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

The Catholic Church designates October as the Month of the Holy Rosary. During this month the faithful
venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary especially under her title of Our Lady of the Rosary, and make special effort
to honor the Holy Rosary with group recitations and rosary processions. St. Dominic de Guzman, the founder of
the Order of Preachers, is the saint to whom Our Lady famously appeared and gave the prayers of the Holy Rosary
to assist him as a spiritual weapon in combating heresy and leading souls back to the one, true Catholic faith.
