November 30, 2009 - Feast of St. Andrew
Happy Day Andrew — Singapore — Pray for him
Need for people to preach the Gospel
Andrew was one of first to carry this out
Romans 10: 9-18
that if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. It is by believing with the heart that you are justified, and by making the declaration with your lips that you are saved. When scripture says: No one who relies on this will be brought to disgrace, it makes no distinction between Jew and Greek: the same Lord is the Lord of all, and his generosity is offered to all who appeal to him, for all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Israel has no excuse
How then are they to call on him if they have not come to believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard of him? And how will they hear of him unless there is a preacher for them? And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As scripture says: How beautiful are the feet of the messenger of good news. But in fact they have not all responded to the good news. As Isaiah says: Lord, who has given credence to what they have heard from us? But it is in that way faith comes, from hearing, and that means hearing the word of Christ. Well then, I say, is it possible that they have not heard? Indeed they have: in the entire earth their voice stands out, their message reaches the whole world.
Psalm 19: 8-11
The precepts of Yahweh are honest,
joy for the heart;
the commandment of Yahweh is pure,
light for the eyes.The fear of Yahweh is pure,
lasting for ever;
the judgements of Yahweh are true,
upright, every one,more desirable than gold,
even than the finest gold;
his words are sweeter than honey,
that drips from the comb.Thus your servant is formed by them;
observing them brings great reward.
Alleluia:
Come after me says the Lord and I will make
you fishers of men
Matthew 4: 18-22
As he was walking by the Lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew; they were making a cast into the lake with their net, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Come after me and I will make you fishers of people.’ And at once they left their nets and followed him.
Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John; they were in their boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. And at once, leaving the boat and their father, they followed him.
How do we have faith
We need to preach the faith
We are sent
In baptism we are commissioned to spread
the Good News
Andrew was a follower of John the Baptist
Andrew and brother Peter
Andrew was ready to follow the
invitation from Jesus —
We know very little about Andrew
as we know little of other apostles —
Andrew was tied to the cross and
preached from the cross a couple
of days before he died
We have been sent too, by God to be
witnesses of Christ
Ask God to help us by our lives to
bring Jesus to others —
to bring the Gospel to others
We pray for all who preach the Gospel —
We pray for grace for people to hear —
The Word and the Eucharist
is the Bread of Life
Oh God feed us
Thank You for heroic men who gave
their lives to bring us the Gospel —
We praise You God
We thank You God
We love You God
We want to make reparation for
the sins of men —
Oh God we are sorry for our sins —
Please make us holy —
Oh God we want to be one with You —
Oh Father - we unite to the sacrifice
of Jesus —
Oh Father - we want to give You
ourselves in the Holy Spirit —
We unite to all the angels and saints —
Oh God we pray for the priests, the Church
and the world
Oh God we are sorry for our sins —
We praise You, oh God
We unite to the souls in purgatory
We pray through the intercession
of Mary
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Oh God give us peace
Lamb of God
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
Oh God You are truly present and
we love You
we receive You —
Jesus truly present: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
Oh God, give us Yourself
Oh God, I long for Thee
Oh God, I want You
Oh God, my heart burns for Your presence
Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul
Oh God we pray for our hierarchy, a
cardinal having surgery, our
priests, the Church and the world —
Oh God bless us
Oh open our eyes —
Let people see the truth and live by it —
Oh God help us to be holy —
not rebellious
Oh God bless us
Oh God we give ourselves to You —
To be so one with You
To be in You
Oh God we want Your constant presence
with us
That we live to serve You and not focus
on ourselves
If we go down the wrong road — no matter
how fast or hard we go we
will not get to our destiny
Mary is the perfect handmaid of the Lord —
Mary loves all her children
Jesus died for all souls
Servants and handmaids of the Lord must
see as Mary — all the children of
the Church — not themselves only —
We see the children of Mary —
We see the souls Jesus died for —
A handmaid sees through eyes of love
the children of Mary —
Luke 1: 46-55
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.
We are not self-focused
But other focused
We see the aborted babies, the little ones
created by God the Father and we
mourn this atrocity and offense
against God — the commandment
"Thou shalt not kill"
"I, the Lord, am your God. You
shall not have other gods besides me."
Put God first above ourselves
Observe His law —
Not lie about our disobedience to the
commandments
We see with the eyes of faith —
We see the souls Jesus wants us to reach —
Our performance — me, me isn't important,
but our God and living in Him —
one in Him
serving God
helping souls —
seeing Mary's children —
drawing people to Christ —
Not pushing people away because of
our isolation
Oh God help us to be other focused
help us to see You in them

You Should Do All Things with Love
Messenger:
This message was given the day after I received A Song from Jesus.Jesus:
Whatever you do, you should do with much love. I come, little one and I teach you such lessons. Some lessons you do not see. I teach you again and again, with much grace. You begin to see My work I have for you to do. Pray for the grace to know and love Me more. It is in your union with Me you will find such peace. As your love grows for God and Mary, your love grows for others. You cannot love Me and hate your brother. I call you to new life. I call you to oneness with Me.I am Jesus, the Son of God. Surrender your whole being, offer yourself as a sacrifice, whole and complete, to the Father at every Mass. Offer Him all you are, your love and good works. Offer yourself wholly and completely with My Body and Blood - this is the most pleasing sacrifice to the Father.
Every day offer yourself to the Father in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being offered around the world for all your intentions. Say the Morning Offering with your children. Pray and offer your day so you will know and love God more.
Do not let satan talk in your head. Always love your brothers. See the God Who created them when you talk to them. See the love the Father has for them. See My love to die for them. See the Spirit Who wants to be alive in them. Do not give in to satan.
I am in charge. I support you. I love you. I watch out for you. I am the Almighty God. You do nothing on your own. Your brother depends on Me. Realize your frailties. Praise your Father in heaven lavishly. Praise God. We want to be praised by you!
I am your beloved Jesus and I love you so much.
October 9, 1994
Be Christ to Each Other
Jesus:
My little one, be of a clean heart. Be with Me. You must take time to be with Me. My love is surrounding you. You do not fear. I am Jesus. I am your Savior. You live to love God and do the will of the Father.I am forever with you. All you do must be acts of love. Put on Me. In all your actions, put on Me. Love, love, love. Interior peace comes from God dwelling within you.
Put on Christ. Be Christ to one another. Be as I would be to your brothers. You are My blessed one. Do not fear. Just put on Christ. Be so connected to the God Who lives within. Total peace. Total love. Total presence. We are at the helm.
As you operate with others, be Christ to each other. Love one another. Your heart must be forever connected to Me. Feel My presence within your heart. I dwell within you now. Easy does it. I am dwelling within you. You are living to love God, to serve God in this world, to be Christ to others as We dwell in you.
Each person you encounter is very dear to Me and I love them so. Love them. See My beautiful creation in them. See Me loving them so much. See beyond the negative acts. This person is My beautiful creation.
I am the God of Jacob, of Joseph, of all your ancestors. I talk to you here. Do not worry. Do not fret. Put satan behind you and let My love come forth to this world.
Calm, peace, joy, love always. If you always love, you have peace and joy. I am Jesus, come to Me, My sweet ones. I live in you, live in My love. Alleluia, Alleluia.
Christ be in me
Christ be before me
Christ be by my side
Christ fill me abundantly with Your life
Christ surround me
That I may walk, as You live in me
I walked this way today in a new light —
His light surrounded me and
I knew I lived to serve my God —
To do His will —
Not my will opposed to God
Oh God help me spread the Blue Books —
Send people to the site
Oh God help us
Amen.
Song: I Love You Jesus
Song: A Song from Jesus
Song: A Priest Is a Gift from God
2nd Sunday of Advent
Baruch 5: 1-9
Jerusalem, take off your dress of sorrow
and distress,
put on the beauty of God’s glory
for evermore,
wrap the cloak of God’s saving justice
around you,
put the diadem of the Eternal One’s glory
on your head,
for God means to show your splendour
to every nation under heaven,
and the name God gives you
for evermore will be,
‘Peace–through–Justice,
and Glory–through–Devotion’.
Arise, Jerusalem, stand on the heights
and turn your eyes to the east:
see your children reassembled
from west and east
at the Holy One’s command,
rejoicing because God has remembered.
Though they left you on foot
driven by enemies,
now God brings them back to you,
carried gloriously, like a royal throne.
For God has decreed the flattening
of each high mountain,
of the everlasting hills,
the filling of the valleys
to make the ground level
so that Israel can walk safely
in God’s glory.
And the forests and every fragrant tree
will provide shade
for Israel, at God’s command;
for God will guide Israel in joy
by the light of his glory,
with the mercy and saving justice
which come from him.
We can send Fr. Joe's
homily book to a priest for 75¢.

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
