Mark 4: 1-20

Again he began to teach then by the lakeside, but such a huge crowd gathered round him that he got into a boat on the water and sat there. The whole crowd were at the lakeside on land. He taught them many things in parables, and in the course of his teaching he said to them, "Listen! Imagine a sower going out to sow. Now it happened that, as he sowed, some of the seed fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky ground where it found little soil and at once sprang up, because there was no depth of earth; and when the sun came up it was scorched and, not having any roots, it withered away. Some seed fell into thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it produced no crop. And some seeds fell into rich soil, grew tall and strong, and produced a good crop; the yield was thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold.' And he said, 'Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!'

When he was alone, the Twelve, together with the others who formed his company, asked what the parables meant. He told them, 'To you is granted the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything comes in parables,

    so that they may look and look,
        but never perceive;
    listen and listen, but never understand;
    to avoid changing their ways
        and being healed.

He said to them, 'Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables? What the sower is sowing is the word. Those on the edge of the path where the word is sown are people who have no sooner heard it than Satan at once comes and carries away the word that was sown in them. Similarly, those who are sown on patches of rock are people who, when first they hear the word, welcome it at once with joy. But they have no root deep down and do not last; should some trial come, or some persecution on account of the word, at once they fall away. Then there are others who are sown in thorns. These have heard the word, but the worries of the world, the lure of riches and all the other passions come in to choke the word, and so it produces nothing. And there are those who have been sown in rich soil; they hear the word and accept it and yield a harvest, thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.'

                Jesus says
                    "I am the way, the truth and the life"

 

John 16: 13-15

However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking 
    of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
    the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you 
will be taken from what is mine.

  

                R. The truth does not change with man's
                    whims

                Our goal must be God to attain His
                    heavenly reward –

                To chart out a path of acting as if
                    we are doing good, while
                    being in an evil motive, a
                    vindictive, malicious heart
                    is to act adversely –

                Jesus: God looks at the heart –

                If one contributes, but behind the heart
                    is the desire to punish, to control,
                    to hold power from it –
                    one has missed the real meaning
                    of giving purely –

                In the tainted realms the devil enters
                    with his impure reasoning,
                    and he argues in the man's thoughts
                    how one is far better to act in
                    pride and control and seeking
                    power, dominance for dominance
                    sake –

                The devil comes to bring confusion,
                    show one's power over others,
                    surprise and he reasons in the
                    man's thinking how he is
                    gallant and good, when in fact
                    the man's very contribution was
                    made to cause confusion and operate
                    in secret.

                A pure heart sees the goal, goes through
                    the proper channels of communication,
                    without surprises and confusion,
                    a pure heart wants to bring to light
                    how things are.

                The devil wants a man to cover-over and
                    to act fallaciously in the end –
                    lying to oneself how he was
                    gallant in his sacrifice and
                    worthy of recognition –
                    the devil proceeds to try to
                    create confusion, hypocrisy,
                    envy, anger, and to lead
                    the person entering the maliciousness
                    with a feeling of how he
                    is good in all of these tricks –

                I am simple to man –

                A man of pure heart, knows his worth
                    to God and is purely helping in
                    following God's will purely and in
                    the order God has wished be
                    observed –

                A man lending to satan's tainted thinking
                    gives, but with a hook, gives
                    to look good, while working
                    against order, in secret and
                    with power –
                    which begins the spiral of
                    evil and weaves the web
                    of deceit he is wishing to
                    weave –

                Where the good and gallant man gives
                    with love, without strings
                    attached – the man with an
                    impure heart –
                    wishes to achieve some great
                    imbalance and heartache for
                    others –
                    while he deceitfully wants to
                    show he was gallant in this
                    game of deception, secrecy
                    and pride –

                Truth is truth –
                    I look at the heart –

                    One acts purely because it is
                        God's will to help build the
                        Kingdom of God –

                    The goal of such a man acting
                        purely is love of God and
                        others –

                    Not deceit of stirring up confusion,
                        being secret, hurting his brother,
                        and patting himself on the back as
                        being gallant –

                The man of pure heart operates for God –
                    His love is pure, like Mary,
                    "do whatever He tells you"

                The object and goal of his action is
                    to please God –

                The object of one giving and causing deceit
                    and confusion is working a
                    paradox of good/evil, but the
                    heart has malicious designs to
                    hurt others with the front of
                    being good.

                A package came dressed with the most
                    exquisite paper and ribbon and
                    bow – inside the box was filled
                    with gummy glue, that covered the
                    person's hands when opening it and
                    burned their skin –

                    Is the package you give to God like Mary
                who served with a pure and generous and
                loving heart?

                    Or is your package - dressed up to the
                hilt saying open me I am good and
                inside filled with evil designs to hurt
                and punish.

                    The devil is like this - he wants it
                to look good on the outside and when
                he has you reeled in, so to speak, he
                dumps his evil design on you to watch
                you open up his evil and fall prey
                to his deception.

                    He tricked Eve in the garden and she
                gave in

                    Be of pure heart –

                    Love God and others and do it as God
                intends – lovingly to build My Kingdom

 

                January 29, 2013

                R. Jesus told me –

                Jesus: A man serving satan gets
                    a devil's reward

                    (note: if he doesn't repent and sins mortally)

                A man serving God
                    a heavenly reward

 

                January 30, 2013

                R. Because of the sin of Adam and Eve there was
                    disorder –
                    disorder in the elements –
                    hurricanes, warm weather –
                    cold weather - snow, ice, deaths

                Jesus said: I am constant - A person with a
                    heart like Mine does not wallow in and out –
                    their goal is God –
                    their focus is God –

                Satan comes and gets you focused on yourselves –
                    then the vices - acting out of your wounded human nature,
                    acting in ways - where you are impure interiorly
                    malice of intent, distorted reasoning –

                The goal must be God to be happy –
                A man acting like satan gets satan's reward –
                A man in heart like My Heart gets a heavenly reward –

                The devil comes appearing as an angel of light and
                    then tries to lure the man into his evil design –

                Discern the spirits –
                    Satan is a trickster
                    Are your thoughts from satan, from the Holy Sprit,
                        from yourselves?

                    Satan is real - he wants to attack the jugular vein
                    Satan wants to lure you into his evil design.

                The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
                    made present –
                    You are to be one in Me - united all day in
                        all you do –
                    The interior disposition at Mass is to be pure –
                    Your goal must be God –
                    You eyes focused on God - not looking to
                        the right or left –

                    You were created in My image and likeness –
                    Your knowing and loving capacity elevated in baptism
                    Satan wants you to grow in vices, become hateful,
                        more jealous, more prideful, more controlling,
                        selfish – seek power over others – it becomes
                        a vice, a habit - a dark habit - you weave
                        a web of sin and corruption, adversity in
                        your heart - games, secrets for power-over

                    You were made in My image - to seek the truth
                        to grow in My image - to be meek in heart
                        to give to God what He asks for with a pure
                        heart to serve God –

                    You are to strive to be perfect as your
                        heavenly Father is perfect –

                    R. I had a vision January 28th,

                        R. the person was lighted and went quickly down
                        the tunnel until they disappeared into what
                        looked like a rain drop - then vanished –

                        the tunnel was circular and turning light –
                        the person kept coming one would vanish, a new
                        one appear and quickly go backward until they
                        went to a raindrop and vanished.

                        I couldn't tell if it was heaven or hell or just
                        what happened to every soul when we die,
                        our spirit quickly going to another place –
                        the body vanishing first like a raindrop then
                        gone out of the picture.

                Jesus: You have been given a sharing in Divine life
                    in baptism –
                    You should grow to be more and more in the image
                        of God – God is all good – Be perfect more
                        and more as your heavenly Father is perfect –

                R. We are not to hold on to save ourselves, but
                    to give ourselves to God - like the talent
                    parable –

                Jesus: You are to live in the truth and seek to be
                    purely good, more and more grateful for
                    your gifts

                R. We learn about truth in things beginning and ending –
                    The weather - it is cold, it is a nice day, snowy,
                    icy, inclement weather, then calm beautiful sunny,
                    autumn, (fall) gives way to winter, winter to spring,
                    spring to summer, summer to fall –

  

     

 

Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 1998 - ISSUE FOUR

    Shortly before he was to die from cancer, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin left us these inspiring words about peace: "It is the first day of November, and fall is giving way to winter. Soon the trees will lose the vibrant colors of their leaves and snow will cover the ground. The earth will shut down, and people will race to and from their destinations bundled up for warmth. Chicago winters are harsh. It is a time of dying.

    "But we know that spring will soon come with all its new life and wonder.

    "It is quite clear that I will not be alive in the spring. But I will soon experience new life in a different way...

    "What I would like to leave behind is a simple prayer that each of you may find what I have found—God's special gift to us all: the gift of peace. When we are at peace, we find the freedom to be most fully who we are, even in the worst of times. We let go of what is non-essential and embrace what is essential. We empty ourselves so that God may more fully work within us. And we become instruments in the hands of the Lord."

                R. Live/Death –
                Morning/Night

                Jesus showed us Life/Death –
                Jesus showed us the Resurrection & Ascension
                Jesus told us about the Holy Spirit coming
                The promise of the Spirit –
                Being a baby - being an old men –
                Going out having fun, getting back to work –
                Beginnings and endings –

                God has the surprise – we are to fit into His Plan –
                Not like the devil who plants a prank on somebody and
                    watches them fall to his secrecy and cover-up of
                    unpredictable, power-over – controlling darkness –

                God gives joy to the heart –

                The promise of salvation for those who love and serve
                    the Lord –

                Look at the vastness of the earth –
                    the depth of the sea –
                    could anyone fully comprehend it –
                    the beauty of the star-studded night –
                    the heat of the sun

                We cannot even count our blessings, the treasures
                    God gives us, the beauty of life, of a child,
                    the air we breath

     

  

 

                R. Man is limited!

                We do not comprehend the glory that awaits man who
                    loves and serves the Lord –

                God is truth –
                We are to seek His truth – 

 
Exodus 3: 1-8, 11-15

Moses was looking after the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led it to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame blazing from the middle of a bush. Moses looked; there was the bush blazing, but the bush was not being burnt up. Moses said, 'I must go across and see this strange sight, and why the bush is not being burnt up.' When Yahweh saw him going across to look, God called to him from the middle of the bush. 'Moses, Moses!' he said. 'Here I am,' he answered. 'Come no nearer,' he said. 'Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. I am the God of your ancestors,' he said, 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.' At this Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

    Yahweh then said, 'I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying for help on account of their taskmasters. Yes, I am well aware of their sufferings. And I have come down to rescue them from the clutches of the Egyptians and bring them up out of that country, to a country rich and broad, to a country flowing with milk and honey,

    Moses said to God, ‘Who am I to go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?’ ‘I shall be with you,’ God said, ‘and this is the sign by which you will know that I was the one who sent you. After you have led the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.’  

Moses then said to God, 'Look, if I go to the Israelites and say to them, "The God of your ancestors has sent me to you," and they say to me, "What is his name?" what am I to tell them?' God said to Moses, 'I am he who is.' And he said, 'This is what you are to say to the Israelites, "I am has sent me to you."' God further said to Moses, 'You are to tell the Israelites, "Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you." This is my name for all time, and thus I am to be invoked for all generations to come.

   

                R. We cannot even fathom the depth of God's love
                The Divine gifts are beyond our measure –
                God is veiled and He gives us glimpses of His truths –
                The Blue Books are glimpses of His love –

                Jesus says: They can't be lumped together like a history text –
                    They are letters of love, profound teachings of the
                    fire that is never consumed –

                Jesus: You will see with the light of 7 suns, unless you bury
                    your head in the sand, listen to satan and
                    think you in your pride know it all.
                    You do not even comprehend a speck of My love
                    for you and yet I try to teach you because I love
                    you so much –

                Prideful men making others suffer offends Me so
                    much –
                    I watch their hatred and they weave their
                        own web of destruction –
                    The men in hell – put themselves there by
                        how they lived their lives –
                    I warned and warned, I sent people to them
                        and in their pride they would not answer –

                    Your eyes are given light to see, I
                        give you gifts, I love you, I want
                        you with Me forever in heaven

                    I give you glimpses of the big picture –
                    I teach you about Myself and My love and how
                        to live
                    I am God, I give you Myself in the Eucharist

                    I give you the sun lit day, the beauty of a
                        child, I give you insight into the hidden
                        mysteries –

                    You can see through My eyes or cover
                        your eyes and bury your head in the
                        sand and like a stubborn child say no

                Jesus: I am the most perfect Man.

                I came to earth to teach
                    you about being
                    likened to Me –

                My gift is Myself –
                I spent My life –

                You are to be united to the
                    Holy Sacrifice of the
                    Mass in self-less
                    offering –
                    in purity –
                    giving yourself –
                    doing the Father's will –

                At the baptism at the
                    Jordon
                    He said
                "This is My beloved
                Son in whom I am
                well pleased"

                Do you see the Transfiguration?
                    My Father said
                    "This is My Beloved Son
                    in whom I am well
                    pleased –
                    Listen to Him" –

                You are to follow My
                    teachings in between –
                    being more and more in
                    My image and
                    likeness –

                How are you as a
                    man –

                Do you put on My ways!

                Are you meek and gentle
                    in heart?

                Are you loving as I
                    told you about love?

                Do you walk in the truth?

                The Father said
                    "This is My beloved
                    Son in whom
                    I am well
                    pleased."

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B —  The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
