NEW SIGNS AND WONDERS

"Give new signs and work new wonders; show forth the splendor of Your right hand and arm." -Sirach 36:5

The writer of Sirach prayed for God to give new signs and new wonders. Micah prayed: "As in the days when You came from the land of Egypt, show us wonderful signs" (Mi 7:15). The early Church prayed: Lord, "grant to Your servants, even as they speak Your words, complete assurance by stretching forth Your hand in cures and signs and wonders to be worked in the name of Jesus, Your holy Servant" (Acts 4:29-30).

Jesus promised that signs and wonders would accompany those who profess their faith (Mk 16:17). He also promised that we would do works greater by far than even His glorious works (Jn 14:12). Why? It's because whatever we ask for in His name He will do (Jn 14:12-14).

Therefore, we should ask the Lord to do signs and wonders in our lives and through us in the lives of others. "Ask for a sign from the Lord, your God; let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky!" (Is 7:11) May the Lord "enlighten your innermost vision that you may know...the immeasurable scope of His power in us who believe" (Eph 1:18-19). His "power now at work in us can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine - to Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus through all generations, world without end. Amen" (Eph 3:20-21).

Prayer: Father, may the Acts of the Apostles be the acts of my life.

Promise: "The Son of Man has not come to be served but to serve - to give His life in ransom for the many." -Mk 10:45

Praise: The Lord works wonders in Dorothy's life, from opening parking spaces to matching her children with godly spouses.

"A LIVING SACRIFICE" (Rm 12:1) - One Bread, One Body, 3/1/2011

For Lent follow our Bible reading schedule called, "A Prophetic Lent"

http://www.presentationministries.com/brochures/APropheticLent.asp
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday, March 1, 2011

Sirach 35:1-12, Psalm 50:5-8, 14, 23, Mark 10:28-31
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/030111.shtml

"A LIVING SACRIFICE" (Rm 12:1)

"The just man's sacrifice is most pleasing, nor will it ever be forgotten." -Sirach 35:6

The heart of love is sacrifice. Jesus was sacrificed on Calvary in the greatest act of love in history. The Lord calls us to offer our bodies to Him as living sacrifices (Rm 12:1). We are called to sacrifice "homes, brothers and sisters, mothers, children and property" for Jesus and the gospel (Mk 10:30). "He who observes the commandments sacrifices a peace offering. In works of charity one offers fine flour, and when he gives alms he presents his sacrifice of praise" (Sir 35:1-2). Good deeds and generosity are also sacrifices, and "God is pleased by sacrifices of that kind" (Heb 13:16). Through Jesus, we can "continually offer God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips which acknowledge His name" (Heb 13:15).

By our lives of sacrifice, we share in the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary. In the sacrifice of the Mass, we perpetuate, make present, and apply the continuing effects of Jesus' once-for-all sacrifice on the cross (Heb 10:10, 12). In summary, our lives in Christ are lives of sacrifice centered on Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary, which continues to be present through the sacrifice of the Mass. Be living sacrifices (Rm 12:1).

Prayer: Jesus, may I give, pray, and work sacrificially. May the word for this Lent be "sacrifice."

Promise: "To keep the law is a great oblation." -Sir 35:1

Praise: John gave up job and personal freedom to care for his adult mentally ill son.

POVERTY PROGRAM - One Bread, One Body, 2/28/2011

Monday, February 28, 2011

Sirach 17:19-24, Psalm 32:1-2, 5-7, Mark 10:17-27
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/022811.shtml

POVERTY PROGRAM

"Then Jesus looked at him with love and told him..." -Mark 10:21

If we deeply love others, we, like Jesus, will tell them to "go and sell what you have and give to the poor" (Mk 10:21). This is not imposing a burden or putting a guilt trip on them, but rather is giving them the opportunity to have treasure in heaven where neither rust corrodes nor moth consumes (Mt 6:19).

Jesus says: "In the measure you give you shall receive, and more besides" (Mk 4:24). When we ask others to give, we increase what they receive and more besides. Elijah met a widow and her son who were about to die of starvation (1 Kgs 17:12). He could have given them a little food to delay their death, but instead he saved their lives by telling the widow to give her last bit of food to him. When she did that, her flour and oil were multiplied more than five-hundred fold to feed herself, her son, and Elijah for a year. Let's love and feed the physically and spiritually poor not only by giving to them but also by asking them to give to the Lord's work.

Prayer: Father, may I overcome fear by faith so I can sow bountifully and reap bountifully (2 Cor 9:6).

Promise: "But to the penitent he provides a way back, he encourages those who are losing hope!" -Sir 17:19

Praise: Some in Presentation Ministries have volunteered years, even decades, of service in order that the gospel can be spread to the ends of the earth.

PM eNewsletter Eighth Sunday in ordinary time

February 27th Eighth Sunday in ordinary time

Jesus, we are getting close to the start of Lent.

Help us to jump start this beautiful season of reparation by starting to pray
and ask for guidance for the fearless moral inventory we should all make
during the Lenten season.

Help us to come and sit with You so that we can know what to really do
during Lent that would most please You.

Mary our mother, please intercede for us so that we will do God's will all the time.

Amen and Amen.

Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday SOCIAL INSECURITY
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=2/27/2011

"Your heavenly Father knows all that you need. Seek first His kingship over
you, His way of holiness, and all these things will be given you besides." -Matthew 6:32-33

Are you secure in God's love? Are you sure that, even if a mother forgets her
infant, the Lord would never forget you? (Is 49:15) If you lost your job, would
you worry? If you didn't know where your next meal was coming from, would
you be upset? Do you believe that your heavenly Father is a real Father Who
provides for His family? Do you feel so insured by being a child of God that
having man's insurance would be superfluous or even a means of doubting
God's providence?

We can't serve two masters; we should not worry but trust God for our basic
needs (Mt 6:24). Many of today's Christians have placed themselves in the
most insecure situation possible, that is, depending on themselves for security.

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church

SICKNESS AND SUFFERING

"MESSENGERS OF JOY"

Let us follow our Master in readiness to spend our lives for our brothers and
sisters..., becoming messengers of a joy that does not fear pain, the joy of the Resurrection.

TURN TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

When contemplating the wounds of Jesus our gaze turns to His most sacred
Heart, in which God's love manifests itself in a supreme way ... Dear sick
people, feel the nearness of this Heart full of love and draw with faith and joy
from this source, praying "Water of the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of
Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear my prayers. In Your wounds, hide
me" (Prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola).

(Source: Message for the 19th World Day of the Sick, issued 11/21/2010)

SOCIAL INSECURITY

"Your heavenly Father knows all that you need. Seek first His kingship over you, His way of holiness, and all these things will be given you besides." -Matthew 6:32-33

Are you secure in God's love? Are you sure that, even if a mother forgets her infant, the Lord would never forget you? (Is 49:15) If you lost your job, would you worry? If you didn't know where your next meal was coming from, would you be upset? Do you believe that your heavenly Father is a real Father Who provides for His family? Do you feel so insured by being a child of God that having man's insurance would be superfluous or even a means of doubting God's providence?

We can't serve two masters; we should not worry but trust God for our basic needs (Mt 6:24). Many of today's Christians have placed themselves in the most insecure situation possible, that is, depending on themselves for security.

Prayer: Jesus, may I lose my life so You can save me (Lk 9:24).

Promise: "The Lord is the One to judge me, so stop passing judgment before the time of His return." -1 Cor 4:4-5

Praise: Praise You, Jesus! Your dependence on the Father set us free to abandon ourselves to His care. Thank You, Father!

(To stay focused on seeking first the Kingdom, read the Bible every day. We have several tape series to help you. "Overview of the Bible" is six audio tapes starting with AV 10A-1 or three video tapes starting with V-10A. "15-minute Bible Teaching - New Testament" is forty audio tapes starting with #700.

CHILD ABUSE - One Bread, One Body, 2/26/2011

Saturday, February 26, 2011

Sirach 17:1-15, Psalm 103:13-18, Mark 10:13-16
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/022611.shtml

CHILD ABUSE

"People were bringing their little children to Him to have Him touch them, but the disciples were scolding them for this." -Mark 10:13

Jesus says: "Let the children come to Me and do not hinder them" (Mk 10:14). He will not only touch the children but embrace and bless them, placing His nail-scarred hands on them (Mk 10:16). In contrast, Satan tries to keep children away from Jesus so his demons can molest and abuse them. What is Satan using now to keep children away from Jesus?
* Entertainment - mass media, many popular websites, contemporary music, and especially TV, ignore Jesus, portray Christians in a distorted way, and promote a secular lifestyle.
* Education - public education thinks it's compelled to ignore Jesus. Even Christian education is often so highly secularized that Jesus is often little more than a footnote. How many graduates of our Christian schools are true disciples of Jesus?
* Religion - the average church is so far removed from authentic New Testament Christianity that it conceals rather than reveals Jesus.
* Parents - many parents are so lax or confused about their responsibility as parents that they don't share their love for Jesus with their children and pray with them. They let their children be bombarded with anti-Christian propaganda and give Jesus the "silent treatment."
Prayer: Jesus, may I lead a child to You today.

Promise: "The Lord from the earth created man, and in His own image He made him." -Sir 17:1

Praise: Hannah homeschooled her children in order that they could attend daily Mass together.

(For related teaching, order our leaflet, "How To Get Your Kids To Go To Church And Go To Heaven", or our tape on audio AV 42-3 or video V-42.)
