Shepherds of Christ Daily Writing

January 6, 2024

January 7th Holy Spirit Novena Scripture selection is Day 2 Period II.

The Novena Rosary Mysteries for January 7th are Sorrowful.

Please Pray for Bob & special intentions.
 

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

R. God is with us.

The star shown bright above
Jesus’ bed.

Jesus came to the earth, a
little babe in a manger, He
was laid on hay.

The splendor of the night, the
love of Mary and Joseph, the
angels from heaven.

Little sweet sheep around His
bed, animals to keep Him warm.

The Baas of the little sheep, the
Moos of the cows, the angels
on high, singing
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo,
Glory to God.

It was the most beautiful mix
of heavenly and earthly
melodies, the cows and sheep
in one accord praising the
Son of God with the angels.

What a moment in the history
of the world.
The Son of God made flesh
and dwelt amongst us.

The Heavenly Father sent the
star of radiance, like no other
star ever was and the beauty
of that star-studded night that
Jesus was born, was in
magnificence, accompanied
by the sounds of Glory.

There came 3 Kings to adore
the little Christ child.
Love in my heart swells for
little Jesus. Jesus, Divine Love
in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger.

Jesus, the Light of the world.!!!

Oh Jesus, we adore and
worship you.

Epiphany a manifestation,
God the Father gave to the
Earth, Jesus, the Son of God.
 

John 3:16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.
 

I want to declare what this means
to me, but it is as Fr. Carter
would say ineffable.

Jesus came to give us new life,
He is the light of the world, we
are invited to follow Him.

God gives us special times when
we can know He is there for us,
we pray for greater faith to believe.

Thank you God for the guides
You give me to know You,
profoundly many times. These
are special favors He gives us,
special gifts for our soul.

Sing: We Three Kings

R. Abraham was to have
descendants as numerous as the
stars in the sky.

Jesus wants universal salvation
as it says in Mathew
"Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit teaching
them to observe all I have
commanded you."

Entrance into God's eternal
kingdom doesn't come
automatically, Father Joe says.
It doesn't even come if we
know our religion perfectly,
but don't live it, Fr. Joe says.

The magi came quite a distance,
hundreds of miles, probably
even over 1,000, to find Jesus.
They had to keep searching,
even seeking help from the
paranoid king and the
indifferent Jewish clergy,
who had all the answers, but
not enough interest in finding
the Messiah themselves. God's
kingdom is for everyone, but
not everyone comes looking
for it, and only those who do,
find it. It is a theme we find
repeated, in many of the
teachings of Jesus in Saint
Matthew's gospel. For example,
at the end of the sermon on
the mount, Jesus tells us the
person who listens to his
words, and acts on them is
like a person who built his
house on rock, whereas a
person who listens to his
words, but does not act on
them, is like the person who
builds his house on sand. It
will end up in ruins.

The theme is repeated in a
number of parables. Here's eight
that come to mind immediately
1) the sower and the seed
2) the wheat and the weeds,
3) the buried treasure, and
    the pearl of great price,
4) the parable about two sons,
    one who told his father, he
    would do the work his father
    asked of him but didn't, and
    the other who said he
    wouldn't, but did,
5) the wedding feast where
    those invited were too
    busy to come,
6) the parable of the talents,
    where one man didn't do
    anything with his talent,
    and lost it in the end,
7) the 10 virgins five of them
    were prepared when the
    groom arrived, and five who
    missed out on the wedding
    feast because they were not
    ready for the grooms arrival,
8) Matthew is the only gospel
    who gives us the parable of
    the last judgment when those
    who were kind and good to
    the needy were rewarded all
    those who weren't were
    rejected from the kingdom.
    From Father Joe.

Father Joe continues: God's
word is absolutely contradicted
by our modern day culture,
which tells us everyone somehow,
is going to make it into heaven.
The story of the magi shows us
those who, sincerely search for
Christ will find him, but
unfortunately not everyone is
interested in searching for him
sincerely. We ask him to help
us not to get lazy or discouraged
as we continue seeking him. His
light and grace will always guide
us. If we faithfully follow that
light, we can be confident we
will be saved for Christ for he
came a long way to find us
and suffered much in order to
do so. We recall his saving
love as we continue our Mass.
Amen.  Father Joe Robinson.
 

 
Pray that we can solve this postage issue
in mailing this book to the priest.

Happy Feast, Feast of the Epipany



January 5, 2003
Feast of Epiphany

 

January 5, 2024

From Blue Book 15, p. 266

And He speaks: I am without a beginning and without an end. I am the almighty God. I have called you. I have called you by name, My chosen shepherds to help carry this light into the darkness. Do not be concerned with the distractions in your life. Move fearlessly ahead for you have been chosen and I am giving you the most abundant grace to proceed in all of the sufferings. You will proceed ahead if you keep your focus on Me.

 
R. We are limited in our vision.
Jesus wants the children in
darkness to turn to the light.

Mary has powerful intercession.
Let us give Mary our heart.

We are to be followers of Jesus.
Jesus is the light of the world.

We are to be children of light
in the world.

Mary wants us to reach her
children.
Help me spread this message.

Mary appeared in Clearwater.
Mary is calling us to tell the
world about the love of Jesus.

Jesus loves us so much. This
is the Mighty Medicine for
the world.

God is the Almighty God, go
to Him.

Jesus, Jesus - Light of the word

Sing: A Song from Jesus

Jesus: Tell the world the
Good News!!
I am the Son of God, you
do not comprehend My love
for you.
So many today are suffering,
but do not turn to Me.
Death / Resurrection - as you
die to your selfish ways, you
live more life in Me.
I want a mystical marriage
with My precious souls.
Come to Me. Let go, surrender.
Meditate on how much I love
you, My precious soul.

I love you with Divine love.

Forgive your brothers who
have wronged you.
Come to Me and ask for
forgiveness for your sins.
Be sorry for offending God
and others by sin.

You were given a free will
to know, love and serve God.

Don’t use your free will to
offend God.

You were created for more.
You were created for eternal
love in heaven. Seek this
with all your heart. Seek
what is above and not what
is below.

Seek holiness in your lives.

Song: I Am a God of Justice

 

R. The greatest prayer is the
Eucharist. Here we meditate
on this great gift to us.
We thank God for His gift
of the Eucharist to us.

Suffering is meant to lead
you to greater life.
We see Jesus - the suffering
servant, we live the life,
death and resurrection of
Jesus in our lives.
We can waste the sufferings
in our lives, or use them for
greater life.
Fr. Carter said: It’s not there
is too much suffering in the
world, but so much is wasted.

We can keep waiting for
someone to come and
change things in our life
because we are in pain, angry,
stubborn, full of unforgiveness.

Why don’t we get the message
changing things or
manipulating things outside
ourselves - won’t change
what’s inside of us that needs
changing.

Nobody can make another
person change.

How much waste of energy
does a person of unforgiveness
feed themselves in a lifetime?

Unforgiveness toward others
hurts ourselves, especially if
a person is now deceased.

Why do that to oneself?

Life is in Jesus.
Living the resurrected life.

Mysteries of Light

The Baptism of Jesus

1. Mark 1: 9-11

It was at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’

2. The sky was thrown open
    and the voice of the Father
    was heard.
3. “This is my beloved Son
    in whom I am well pleased.”
4. Jesus is the Light of the world.
5. Jesus is the one sent from
    the Father.
6. This began Jesus’ public life.
7. John the Baptist said: ”One
    more powerful than I is to
    come after me.”
8. We are sons and daughters
    of God. Jesus taught us
    how we were to be.
9. Come to me Lord and
    possess my soul.

10. Matthew 4:4

But he replied, 'Scripture says:

Human beings live not on bread alone
but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.'
 

The Marriage at Cana

1. John 2: 1-10  

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’  There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’ 

2. Jesus change water into
    wine.
3. Jesus worked His first
    miracle of His public life.
4. Mary has powerful
    intercession.
5. Mary please intercede for
    us for the grace we need
    most.
6. In the Mass Bread is
    changed into the Body of
    Jesus and wine is changed
    into His precious Blood.
7. God feeds us with Himself
    in the Eucharist.
8. We eat His Body and drink
    His Blood.
9. Sing: Jesus, Jesus the Light of the world
10. It is in giving, we receive.

 

The Building of Kingdom of God

1. Matthew 5: 3-12

How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the gentle:
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
Blessed are those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those
   who hunger and thirst for uprightness:
they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and
speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this
is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

2. Jesus is King of Kings.
3. Jesus is Lord of Lords.

    Immaculate Heart in as far
    as we are able.

The Transfiguration

1. 2 Peter 1:16-19

When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.

2. Jesus appeared in such
    bright light.
3. Jesus appeared with Moses
    and Elijah.
4. It was a spectacular event.
5. This was unlike any miracles.
    Jesus was in white light.
6. The Apostles were awestruck
    at this sight.
7. Imagine!!
8. Jesus is the Almighty God.
9. Nothing is impossible with
    God.

10. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

 

The Institution of the Eucharist

1. Matthew 26: 26-29

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’

2. Sing: I am the Bread of Life

3. A Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

4. From the Mass Book

January 2, 1997

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."

"The grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

God pours out His grace in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the greatest gift when God gives Himself to us.

We share with God His life, given to us abundantly in the Mass.

He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. The great love affair between God and man: His Holy Mass.

The priest is another Christ to us. It is Christ present, through the priest, celebrating the Mass. We must see Christ in the priest, see Him celebrate the Mass, see His beautiful brown hair, His gentle face, see Him, our Savior. This Jesus Christ that came was born an infant and gave Himself to His death on the cross that we would share His life. See Him now in the Mass, giving Himself in the greatest gift of all. He gives us His divine love and His divine life.

Oh, we thank You for Your life. We know Jesus died and rose and gave us a sharing in His holy life. His life is now abundantly poured, as a fountain to us, especially in the Mass.

Then we hear His word. Let the word of God penetrate our being. Let us feel this Living Word of God. As a two-edged sword, it comes forth with such conviction and love and it penetrates the souls of the faithful with such love. It is food indeed, food for our soul.

He is the Good Shepherd. He speaks to us. He gives us all we want. "Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing." (Ps. 23:1)

He gives us green pastures, and His water pours out and refreshes us. He outpours His grace as a fountain to feed us with His life.

He is a just God, good and kind, all loving, for He is Love. We want for nothing for He outpours His love and His life to us in the Mass. We feast on His Body and Blood and are fed with His Word. We become one in Him and He shares Himself with us.

It is through the Mass celebrated by the hands of a holy priest that we will experience the Mass the way Christ intends. These writings are insights which hopefully will help lead you to the spring of life-giving water, the fountain of love and life He outpours in the Mass.

There will be a new earth when men will see with the light of seven suns. They will know God. A people walking in darkness will see a great light. They will no longer be blind, they will be enlightened, they will love God with the greatest love in the Mass. They will feast on His Body and Blood and will be united as one body in His holy Church through His life given to us in the Eucharist.

We will drink copiously from the fountain of grace which He pours out in the Mass. We will be filled with His love, absorbed with the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and feasting on His divine life.

We see with the vision of God. We partake in such a union with God. We see with the light the Spirit gives to us. The priest celebrates the Mass and we know God with such an intense knowing in this union. We are saturated with His life flowing from the hands of His consecrated priest.

And I look at Him, the priest, and I see Jesus there. I see Him giving Himself to Me. I see the new and Holy City. I see with such clarity the great gift that God gives to us in the Mass!

We learn how to love in the Mass, for we unite to God. He gives us such an intimate sharing in His divine love that we carry His love out to the world. In this union we know His loving to an intense degree and we carry this love out to others. We share in an intense way in His divine act of loving. He, Who is love, gives Himself to us and we are absorbed in His love and we know intensely how God loves. We are filled with love for God and for each other, for, in the oneness He is loving through us. He gives us lights into His loving capacity and we know His loving power in an intensity we did not know before.

We then pray. We offer up our intentions for this Mass. It is now we who intercede to Him to outpour His grace on us and help us with these intentions.

We pray for this reign of peace when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and men will fervently love and adore God with burning love. We pray for all souls and the Church and we beg for His help, His love, His grace.

We offer ourselves as a sacrifice. We offer the bread that will become the bread of life.

The priest mixes the water and the wine and we realize how His Divinity mixes with our humanity.

We offer the wine that will become our spiritual drink-His blood.

I give myself to Him and I beg to be cleansed of my sins with the washing of the hands.

"May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His Church."

We ask Him to accept the gifts we want to give Him, we give Him thanks, we lift up our hearts in thanks and praise and we sing out:

"Holy, Holy God, of power and might..." we sing Him praise and thank Him-oh, God we love Thee so much."

My heart is so filled with such awe. I cry because I love Him so much.

Every word in the Mass, I love. The priest consecrates the host and changes it into the Body and Blood of Christ.

Oh, it makes me cry for I am so struck with awe at what happens at the Consecration. I unite in the oneness with the priest, with Christ and with all present, with heaven and earth. I am one in that moment, united in the sacrifice of Christ giving Himself to the Father.

This is the moment when I unite in such oneness with Christ in the purity of Mary's heart. I give myself as a sacrifice. I offer myself to the Father.

The Father looks down and He sees us united to His Son's Sacrifice. It is in this oneness that His grace is outpoured on us, that we die to that which is not like Him and that the Holy Spirit works in the heart of Mary and fills us with His life.

I am in ecstasy as I realize more and more the great gift of love that God gives us in His holy Mass. I am taken to such heights, being wrapped in the presence of God. It is rapture, this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

It is a great gift, experiencing this intense presence of the Almighty God: Through Him, With Him, and In Him.

We pray to the Father the prayer as Jesus taught us and beg, "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

We pray: "For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever."

We beg for peace in our hearts. We share this peace with one another. Then we beg of the Lamb of God. I want to get down to the ground and beg for His grace, mercy and forgiveness for our sins.

Please, God, I see us as a sinful people. I want the grace and mercy to flow abundantly.

He raises the Host and says: "This is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world, happy are those who are called to His supper."

We respond: "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed."

I receive the Almighty God in Communion. All I want is Him. Oh, God, I want you, I adore you, I worship you, I love you.

Oh, for this moment when God gives Himself to me. Oh, God, words do not express this time-this intense presence of You within my being. Oh, sweet Savior, I love You!

You share Yourself so intimately with me. You imprint on my soul a knowing of Your Divine Being that is so intimate in this Communion when You give Yourself to me.

Oh, let our hearts be open to His grace that we may know this great gift more, that we will partake more fully in this greatest act of love with Divinity.

He shares Himself with us, the Almighty God, in such oneness. This is the greatest way to bind us with each other, to unite with each other in the Mass and Communion.

And so I sing the love of God, the love of His Mass. I beg you to pray for the grace that He can teach you in these writings about His most intimate love affair with man, the gift of Himself-the gift He gives us in the Mass.

The Holy Sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally-made-present in the Mass when He gives Himself to us with the greatest love!

And what does He ask in return? He asks that we love one another, that we give Him the glory, the thanksgiving, the adoration that is His due as the Almighty God.

He sends us forth with His blessing to share His most intimate love with all. We go forth as other Christs in the world. For He is alive this day and He lives in us and He gives His love to others through us. We act as channels of His life to one another.

The Mass is the richest source of His life. His life flows through the body, the Church, especially through the Sacraments and the Mass.

Oh Jesus, from the fountain of life that pours forth from Your pierced Heart, give us holy priests whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to celebrate the Mass-that there is such oneness between the priest and Christ that His grace will flow copiously.

We thirst for the fountain of life pouring forth from the pierced Heart of Christ. It is His life we seek and find in the Church. It is His love we want and we experience the greatest love affair with God in the Mass.

These books on the Mass are accounts of my intimate love affair with our Almighty God. Many experiences were enlightenments I received in the Mass.

I strongly advise all to pray, to say the Holy Spirit Prayer, the Consecration Prayers, and the Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, before Mass. (These prayers follow this message).

This book is the journey into the red room, the inner chamber of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the gateway, the pure and Immaculate Heart of His Mother.

It is in the Mass we give ourselves in such love to our Holy God. He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him.

5. From the Mass Book

December 27, 1995

LET US LOVE THE TWO HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY
IN THE RECEPTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST.

HE GAVE HIMSELF TO US ON THE CROSS. HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST.

How great was the act of love, God gave to this world, when He gave Himself and died on the cross. He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.

The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow.

The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.

This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our Holy, Loving God. Our all consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God? He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love when Jesus gives Himself-Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in Communion? We should beg God, in this most intimate union with Him, to help us to love Him with greatest love.

Jesus is a Person. He wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. Our Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist, we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, with Divinity, we must pour out our love to God. We must pour out our heart to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being in the sacrament of His greatest love. This is the Gift of Himself.

Think of how it is to love someone and give your all for that person, to pour out your heart to him or her and then be treated with coldness and neglect. It hurts our heart so much more when we deeply love someone to be rejected by that person. Jesus loves us with the deepest love. We cannot fully comprehend this love. Let us love Him with the deepest love. Let us love Mary and her Immaculate Heart. Let us love her as the Mother of God. Let us love her as the virgin who bore the Son of God. May we, in the reception of the Eucharist pour out our love to Him, to this adorable Heart. May we pour out our love to His Holy Mother.

Mary said at Fatima that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Let us love these two Hearts as we receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Then we are so deeply united with God. We see Their two Hearts surrounded with thorns for the injustices against Their Hearts. Let us help make reparation daily as we receive Him in the Eucharist. This is a special time to help make reparation to Their wounded Hearts.

Let us remember how He poured His love out to us on the cross and how He pours out His love to us now when He gives us Himself in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which contains His Heart of burning love. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Her heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. As the wounds in Their Hearts are deep, so too is Their love so deep.

He does not want "surface love". He wants hearts filled with deep burning love.

6. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

7. Song: I Love You Jesus

8. Christ is the Bridegroom of
    our soul.
9. The light shines in the
    darkness and the darkness

		Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012) $ 10.00 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. $10

		Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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. $10

		Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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. $10

		Guiding Light - Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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. $10
