Oct 7 Monday: (Lk 10: 25-37) (Our Lady of the
Rosary)

video reflections: To be added Lk 1: 26-38: This feast was
established by Pope St. Pius V in thanksgiving for the victory at Lepanto, 7
Oct 1571, which stopped the Turkish invasion of Europe. Importance: The
word Rosary means “Crown of Roses” and each prayer in the Rosary is considered
a flower presented to Mary. It is called the “Breviary of the Common People”
and the “Psalms of the Illiterate.” The prayers we repeat are Biblical and
hence “inspired,” and the mysteries we meditate upon are taken from the lives
of Jesus and Mary. The “Our Father” is a prayer taught by Jesus himself.
The “Hail Mary” is also rooted in the Scriptures. Its first half echoes the
words of the Archangel Gabriel and those of Elizabeth, both addressed to Mary.
The third prayer — the “Glory be to the Father” — ancient in its wording,
surely reflects the unceasing prayer of adoration and praise found in the Book
of Revelation. The various events in the lives of Jesus and Mary on which we
meditate during the Rosary are expressions of the Paschal Mystery, that is, the
Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, in which Mary shared.
A PRIEST WHO STOLE 50 EUROS???
A couple invited a priest of their parish for dinner in their home. After the priest left, the woman said to her husband; " I think the priest has stolen the 50 EUROS that I kept on the table of which I had the intention to give him". Angrily her husband exclaimed; " if they are not pedophile, they are thieves. There is no need to invite him again. We shall from henceforth be attending Mass in another parish".
What Time Should You Sleep?
By James Pang
Is there a best time to sleep? There is a saying that sleeping early and waking up early is good for your health. How true is that? Is it alright to sleep late and wake up late?

Sept 30- Oct 5: 27th Week - Daily Reflections
Sept 30 Monday (St. Jerome, priest, Doctor of the Church) https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-jerome/ :
Lk 9:46-50: 46 And an argument arose among them as to which of them
was the greatest. 47 But when Jesus perceived the thought of their hearts, he
took a child and put him by his side, 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives
this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who
sent me; for he who is least among you all is the one who is great.” 49 John
answered, “Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade
him, because he does not follow with us.” 50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not
forbid him; for he that is not against you is for you.” USCCB video

The context: Today’s Gospel describes Jesus’
criterion for greatness and his advice to be accepting of others who do good in
ways different from ours. He exhorts the spiritual leaders as well as all
believers in responsible positions in his Church to be like children, humble,
trusting and innocent.
