"I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance." ~ Luke 15:7 (full readings)
Mia's Reflections: We should rejoice at today’s reading! It is never too late for us to be accepted into heaven, if we fully repent and change our lives. The Greek word for “sin” used most frequently in the Bible is harmartia which means “to miss the mark.” To miss heaven. While sin is a personal act, we do have a responsibility for the sins of others when we cooperate in them, or remain silent when we have an obligation to speak up. When we pray and sidewalk counsel outside of an abortion mill, we have the opportunity to touch a mother’s heart. If you have ever experienced the joy of reaching a woman through a gentle call to her conscience, can you imagine the joy of God at that moment? Prayer for the Closing of an Abortion Mill.

Our Prayers: Prayer to end abortion. Add Prayers. Pray with meals, bedtime, wake up, etc. Consider mid-week Family Rosary (17 min). Let’s pray now.
Feast Day: Saint Martin de Porres of Peru was born a poor, abandoned child...and grew up to be a great saint. We should not be in the business of judging the potential of the unborn.
Faith Quote: “Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.” ~ St. Augustine

Luke 15:7
* Pray/Fast: Prayer connects us with God’s will & His miracles, changing us & helping others. Fast from things that take your eyes off Jesus. Those who pray together stay together, and close to God!
* Save Unborn (& family): Abortion reality (images)…#1 death cause (22% pregnancies). Prov 24:11 & Jer 1:5. “A great poverty that a child must die that you might live as you wish.” Mother Teresa.
* Evangelize: Make room for unbelievers & re-evangelization of self, by way of prayer (relationship) and following Christ’s example of love (service/sacrifice/mercy). Matt 28:19.
