Romans 1: 1-7
From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be
an apostle, set apart for the service of the gospel that God
promised long ago through his prophets in the holy scriptures.
This is the gospel concerning his Son who, in
terms of human nature was born a descendant of David and who, in
terms of the Spirit and of holiness, was designated Son of God in
power by resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ, our Lord, through
whom we have received grace and our apostolic mission of winning the
obedience of faith among all the nations for the honour of his name.
You are among these, and by his call you belong to Jesus Christ. To
you all, God's beloved in Rome, called to be his holy people. Grace
and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sing a new song to
Yahweh,
for he has performed wonders,
his saving power is in his right hand
and his holy arm.
Yahweh has made known
his saving power,
revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,
mindful of his faithful love and his constancy
to the House of Israel.
The whole wide world
has seen
the saving power of our God.
Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth,
burst into shouts of joy!
Luke 11: 29-32
The crowds got
even bigger and he addressed them, This is an evil generation;
it is asking for a sign. The only sign it will be given is the
sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of
Nineveh, so will the Son of man be a sign to this generation. On
Judgement Day the Queen of the South will stand up against the
people of this generation and be their condemnation, because she
came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, look, there is something greater than Solomon here. On
Judgement Day the men of Nineveh will appear against this
generation and be its condemnation, because when Jonah preached
they repented; and, look, there is something greater than Jonah
here.
R. Jesus is Lord
Jesus has the words of eternal life
This is what Jesus said
What Jesus said is true in the
20th Century
His Words are eternal
Give us wisdom to listen to Jesus
Just as much as the people
of Nineveh listened to Jonah
We beseech You God to hear us
God's words are eternal!!
Oh God give us the Bread of Life!
Oh God feed us
I thirst after You my God
I long for You
I want to receive You, God
I long for You, Oh Lord
I want to eat Your Body
I want to drink Your Blood
I long for Your grace
Oh God help us, please
Oh God I long for You
Oh God I pray for special intentions
Oh God please help me
Say Our Father
The Our Father
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.
R. I love to eat Your body
I love to drink Your Blood
I want Your presence in me
Oh God help me to be holy
Oh God help me in my problems in
wanting to love You and others
as You desire
Oh God help us to be one
R. Let us be one

L
ET 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.

R. Mary is the perfect handmaid
of the Lord.
Mary is our spiritual Mother.
Mary the most perfect disciple.
R. We intercede through Mary
and all the angels and saints.
We thank God, we petition God
for our needs, we tell God we
are sorry for our sins,
We love God so deeply we
make reparation.
God gives us rules to keep
our lives straight
There can be tools to work
tools that beat Jesus
To use things appropriately
to produce good for
the Kingdom
God gives us His Word
Men have raised themselves
over others persecuting
others
God has written His
law on our hearts
Open your hearts
Do not shut the door
in His face
Jesus drove out demons
Today many when they
sin don't call it sin
Satan wants us to
argue evil is good
and good is evil
We are to live by the law
Pray for the healing of
men's hearts
We are to be fishermen
trying to reach the
souls with the Good News
The Word gives us Hope
We want the Word alive
in our hearts
John 1: 1-14
In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
except through him.
What has come into being in him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not overpower it.
A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe
through him.
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.
The Word was the real light
that gives light to everyone;
he was coming into the world.
He was in the world
that had come into being through him,
and the world did not recognise him.
He came to his own
and his own people did not accept him.
But to those who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God,
to those who believed in his name
who were born not from human stock
or human desire
or human will
but from God himself.
The Word became flesh,
he lived among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory that he has from the Father
as only Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth.
Revelation 3: 20
Look, I am standing at the door,
knocking. If one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I
will come in to share a meal at that persons side.
R. Kings who wanted to be
over even God
We can raise ourselves
up
We are to obey God's rules
Some Kings would punish men
for not bowing to them
Satan wants men to be under
him
Satan even tried to tempt
Jesus
Matthew 4: 1-11
Testing in the desert
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out
into the desert to be put to the test by the devil. He fasted for
forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry, and the
tester came and said to him, If you are Son of God, tell these
stones to turn into loaves. But he replied, Scripture says:
Human beings live not on bread
alone
but on every word
that comes from the mouth of God.
The devil then took him to the holy city
and set him on the parapet of the Temple. If you are Son of God,
he said, throw yourself down; for scripture says:
He has given his angels orders
about you,
and they will carry you in their arms
in case you trip over a stone.
Jesus said to him, Scripture also
says:
Do not put the Lord your God to
the test.
Next, taking him to a very high
mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and
their splendour. And he said to him, I will give you all these, if
you fall at my feet and do me homage. Then Jesus replied, Away
with you, Satan! For scripture says:
The Lord your God is the one
to whom you must do homage,
him alone you must serve.
Then the devil left him, and suddenly
angels appeared and looked after him.
R. Christians were persecuted
for Christ
Martyrs put to death for
Christ
Christians sought out
John was imprisoned
Paul was imprisoned
John had to hide
The enemies of Jesus put
Him to death
Jesus had enemies
The Apostles carried
on the work of Christ
The Bishops are the
descendants of the
Apostles
Jesus' teachings have been
past on to us
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.
R. People speaking for God
have suffered, been
persecuted.
St. Peter crucified upside
down
St. Paul put to death
St. Thomas More beheaded
St. John Baptist beheaded
We, too, are soldiers for Christ
Our weapons our hearts
filled with love
The scrolls God gave us in
God's Blue Book
Revelation 10: 8-10
Then I heard the voice I had heard
from
heaven speaking to me again. 'Go',
it said, 'and take that open scroll from the hand of the
angel standing on sea and land.' I
went to the
angel and asked him to give me the
small scroll, and he said, 'Take it and eat it; it
will turn your stomach sour, but it
will taste as sweet as honey.' So I
took it out of the angel's hand, and I ate it and it tasted sweet
as honey, but when I had eaten it my stomach turned sour.
R. The Apostles suffered
God was with them
From the beginning
men have wanted to
lord it over other men
because of pride,
anger, hatred
God created us out of love
out of His generous love
We receive our strength
from the Lord
Many men sacrificed
and didn't let fear
stop them from doing
God's will
God wants zeal
R. Say Our Father
The Our Father
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.
Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father
Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son,
our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He
descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he
ascended into heaven; sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in
the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.
R. Jesus died Jesus was
covered with blood
Blood running from
Jesus' hands and feet and
Mary stood beneath
the cross
Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I
saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and
give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this
message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I
stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried
for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How
do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject
me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored.
The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and
I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart
was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this
day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to
help my children. You are my children of light.

R. 28th Sunday
This is Paul's Epistle of joy
Paul in prison gives thanks
and farewell.
Philippians 4: 12-14,
19-20
I know how to live
modestly, and I know how to live luxuriously too: in
every way now I have mastered the secret of all
conditions: full stomach and empty stomach, plenty and
poverty. There is nothing I cannot do in the One who
strengthens me. All the same, it was good of you to
share with me in my hardships.
And my God will fulfill
all your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ
Jesus. And so glory be to God our Father, for ever and
ever. Amen.
R. Monday 28th Week
October 12, 2009
Homily by Fr. Barth
Two things from the
Gospel today. The first is a matter of a generation that is evil, and
Jesus is very clear why the generation is evil because they seek a
sign. In other words, they want God to reveal God's self as they want
God to reveal God's self. They want God to, if you will, bend God's will
to their will. They want God to be the God like they want God to be,
instead of God being God. And the generation, which is called evil, to
be indeed subservant to God's will.
And I think we can
recognize that in our own era. And not just beyond these walls, because
even for ourselves who are gathered here, we must recognize that we also
at times, are unfaithful, that we want God to give us a sign, that we
want God to be the kind of God that we want God to be, and sometimes we
don't submit ourselves to God's own will. Isn't that true? And so we
gather here to seek God's mercy and God's forgiveness, and to be more in
sync with God's will, so that we might be what we are called to be as
Christians in the world salts, lights and leaven. But Jesus responds
to the evil age wanting to see a sign, wanting to see God's action as
they want it, with a response.
The response is just as
Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be a sign to
this age. Jonah spent 3 days in the belly of the whale, the Son of Man
spent 3 days in the belly of the earth and then rose. And this sign, the
sign of the Son of Man rising from the dead, having given His life for
sinners, is present to us at this Mass - this one. The sign is Jesus
Himself. And He's most especially present in the Eucharist, that we will
be celebrating. And in the Eucharist what is presented to us, again, in
an unbloody way, is that very sacrifice of Christ and His triumph over
sin and death. His crucifixion and His resurrection happen at this very
altar at the hands of a priest, so that it might become part of our own
lived reality the sign of Jonah given to us.
This is the other thing
then that will answer the evil age, is a matter of those, like the
Ninevites, hearing the Word of God. Jonah went to Nineveh to preach the
Word of God that he had received but what we have here, as Jesus says,
is greater. It's not just the Word of God that has been received, that
is then preached, but is the Word of God Himself present among us here
and now. We believe that at the Mass, Jesus Himself, who is the Word of
God, is present to us, in one another, for He promised where two or more
are gathered in His Name, He is in their midst. Are we believing? And if
we do, then we know that He is here present among us, for we have
gathered in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit.
He works through the
hands and actions of the minister. He is present among us in the sacred
minister. I act in Persona Christi for the salvation of the
world, not because of who I am, but by the grace of God. He is present
in the Word that is proclaimed because He is the Word. You can't
separate them. And He is preeminently present in the sacrament that we
are about to celebrate and share. Yes, we say His Body and His Blood,
but what does that mean ultimately? It means His very presence is given
to us as real food and drink His vivifying life given to us a real
food and real drink.
There is indeed something
greater than Jonah here. It is the Lord Himself, but that takes place
because there is a priest who is present. Once again, this is not about
me trying to say, "Look how special I am." It's not about me. It's about
the love of God acting through those who have been called by Him, and by
ordination have been graced and transformed so that they can act in the
person of Christ. And this is only possible because priests, yes are
called, but also are supported through prayer and dedication, their own,
and also the people of God, and you all, as the Shepherds of Christ.
It is your ministry, the
core of what you do, to pray for priests, that they might be faithful,
and that they might be the instruments of God, that God wants them to
be. And through that action, a priest, salvation is given because Christ
Himself is given, most especially in the sacraments, and preeminently in
the sacrament of the Eucharist. Your ministry is important and pivotal
for the Church, for the salvation of the world. You're participating in
the salvific act of Christ. And you also then pray for vocations, that
others will yield themselves to the call of Christ, and then come to
celebrate the sacraments, come to act in the person of Christ, for us
and for our salvation.
The importance of this
work can not be over estimated. It is beyond our imaginings because in
it the action of Christ continues, by God's grace. And so in these
retreat days, consider anew the core of your ministry, praying for
priests and praying for vocations, praying that the salvation of the
world might be procured through the action of Christ, which is continued
through the hands, of those who act in the person of Christ, the
sacerdotes, the priests and bishops throughout the world.
And pray that the world
will be open to hear that message, that they will come to know the
wonder of salvation, that God has in story for us, not just a return to
the proverbial garden of Eden, where human beings walked and talked to
Christ, that they were friends. But something greater that was wrought
by Christ, a restoration - yes; but also a sanctification that leads to
a deification, because in the redemption what happens for God's faithful
people, is that we get to participate in God's own life, not just
walking aside and conversing as friends, but being taken up in God's own
life participating in God's own life so that we might have
everlasting life. And this is given to us most especially through the
sacraments of the Church, and preeminently in the Eucharist. Let us pray
indeed that God will continue to allow the sign of Jonah to radiate out
into the world, by giving us and sustaining for us, good and holy
priests.

Mother at Our Side, by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J., pp. 12-14

God's WillOur Guiding
Principle
When his parents saw him, they
were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you
done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you
with great anxiety." And he said to them, "Why were you looking
for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
But they did not understand what he said to them.
(Lk. 2:48-50).
The above scene describes how Mary
and Joseph found Jesus in the temple after having been separated
from Him. As they were returning home after the Passover
celebration, they realized Jesus was not with them, and returned
to Jerusalem to search for Him. The scene has various lessons
for us concerning God's will.
With the Holy Family traveling in two
separate groups (Mary with one, Joseph with the other, and Jesus
with either from time to time), we understand how Mary and
Joseph could have received conflicting stories regarding their
Son's whereabouts. The Father's will may have been made known to
Jesus in such a way that the timing of His response precluded
alerting His parents to the change in His plan. Whatever the
details were, we can be assured that there was no error made on
the parts of Jesus, Mary, or Joseph. We can base our trust in
this on what we know through faiththat Jesus would never have
been disobedient or thoughtless toward His parents, and that
Mary and Joseph could not possibly have been inept parents.
Even so, as people who expect certain
behaviors of children and parents, we can be unsettled by some
unanswered questions presented. Yet, since this event is
included in Sacred Scripture, we know it has tremendous value
for us as the Word of God. We also know that obedience to God's
will always works in the best interests of everyone concerned,
even when it is not obvious, even for quite some time.
The scene reminds us of the guiding
principle of Jesus' lifeloving conformity to His Father's will.
Although Mary and Joseph were returning home, in some way Jesus
knew He was supposed to remain in the temple at this particular
time. His course of action was no different in this instance
than it had been in the past and would be in the future. His
Father's will was made manifest, and He obeyed; His Father
showed the way, and He followed. The Father's will was always
Jesus' way, every day, in all matters. As followers of Jesus,
His guiding principle must also be ours.
This event in Christ's life also
demonstrates that conformity to God's will sometimes brings hurt or
sorrow to loved ones. Jesus knew that His remaining behind would
cause suffering for Mary and Josephwe can well imagine their
anxiety. Jesus was sorry this had to be. He certainly was not
insensitive to His parent's feelings, yet He had to do what He did.
There can be similar situations in our own lives. Precisely because
we are striving to seek out and do God's will, we may be causing
hurt to loved ones. We know, however, there is no other course of
action if we are to be open to God's designs for us.
The finding of the child Jesus in the
temple illustrates still a further point regarding conformity to
God's will. Mary and Joseph knew that somehow it was God's will that
Jesus remain in Jerusalem as they themselves headed back to
Nazareth. Yet they did not comprehend why all this happened. They
recognized God's will, but they did not understand it. They accepted
this will, however, along with the pain it produced in their lives.
The application of this lesson to our own
Christian lives is vividly manifest. At times there occurs an
incident we do not understand. We realize that somehow this is God's
will, at least His permissive will, yet we do not understand why,
and our unknowing is part of our pain.
Mary always perfectly conformed herself
in love to God's will. It was her joy to so act. Sometimes the doing
of God's will caused her considerable suffering, as we see from the
above Gospel scene. Later on, the sword of suffering would pierce
her even more deeply.
In summary, we can say that Mary always reached out and embraced
God's will with the deepest love, whether this was easy or very
difficult. Mary has left us these famous words: Behold, I am the
handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.
(Lk. 1:38). Let us ask our mother to obtain for us the
grace to grow in our own conformity to the will of God.

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 - 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 - 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 |

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."

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.
