Received in about 15 minutes
Messenger:
At every Mass we bring all of our
offerings in trying to serve God
doing all things
for His honor and glory — We lay
down our lives —
united to Jesus at the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass.
God has taught us the importance of the
Mass, as members of the body of
Christ — we come as
great intercessors to worship, love,
adore, honor and
petition our God for our needs and
for the sake
of souls. We love the souls more
deeply every
moment of our lives.
Our participation at Mass as a member of the body
of Christ — a baptized Catholic is
so important to
our lives and the lives of the
Church and the world.
It is so important our realization
of this at Mass
we pray for the priests, the Church
and the world in
the prayer chapters, but our
awareness of daily
Mass and our participation at Mass
praying for
the priests, the Church and the
world is so important.
Our lives lived every moment so identified
with Christ is a constant offering
through the
morning offering, praying to the
Father, united to Jesus,
in the Holy Spirit united to the
angels and saints
and the souls in purgatory — through
the intercession
of Mary —
We pray so very deeply — giving our lives here below
for our own salvation some day and
for the sake of
souls on earth and in purgatory.
Our awareness of the heavenly banquet is so
keen — our thirsting for the
beatific vision for all
eternity and our ever growing love
of God and of
souls is why we live.
Love is it.
Growth in the ways of being more likened to Him
creatures of love. Permeated with
the love of the
Holy Spirit — His Spirit filling our
souls to be as God
desires us to be every moment of our
lives.
Our life is a sacrifice — an offering to the Father,
in the Holy Spirit — so united to
the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass going on around the world.
Our lives are harmonious — with
order and love
despite the disharmony of this world
that surrounds
us — we are living the Word of God
so deep in our
soul — His Word is alive in us — we
are one with
God so deeply — So actively united
to the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass being celebrated around
the world.
We are one with each other in a
special way giving ourselves
especially to the pure and holy
Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
One in Their Hearts — purity
One in the body of Christ — strength
harmony
accord —
like the parts of a body are one, finger, toe, etc —
We are one — His precious creatures
—
Jesus shed His
blood for
Spreading the devotion to the Sacred
and Immaculate Hearts —
Helps us to be more one and holy
— offering a
more pure sacrifice of our lives
given
(laying down our lives for God).
This sacrifice IS doing our work.
It is our offering —
It is living our lives as He wants us to in love.
Living according to one's vocation —
mother, husband,
son, daughter, elderly in a
nursing home —
tiny tot, religious — serving
the Church through
a life of marriage in a special
way to Jesus.

Messenger: Life
is lived as a response
to God's love —
Living deeper life in Him. Life
a journey saturated with His grace —
we contemplate everyday to
live more directly
according to God's will.
Living according to God's will is
a process whereby we are taught in
the instruction and wisdom of the Holy
Spirit —
dwelling deeply in God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit in
such oneness.
We
are to reach to live in the reality —
heaven is real and we are preparing for
the
beatific vision —
God's
life in us — the life of grace
IS OUR JOURNEY HERE BELOW.
Beginning at baptism — we receive
a special sharing in His life — our
knowing
and loving capacity is elevated — we are
raised to such heights in Him.
For me this is reality —
God lives in me —
I communicate in
deep oneness
with the Divine God.
My life a
journey of deeper live in Him.
I am deeply aware of His presence
within me. I study my life lived
in Him as one going to school — I
am living in the school of life in
Him — according to His Plan —
experiencing
deeper life in Him always is my journey
of life.
Fr. John J. Pasquini states
"Life
needs purpose and meaning, a purpose
and meaning that transcends the here and
now."
"We
recognize that we must be more than
some complex organism that is born,
lives, struggles and dies in emptiness."
The
Priestly Newsletter is the voice of the Good
Shepherd. The Bishops and Cardinals are
recognizing
the voice of the Good Shepherd and
following
Him.
In
this oneness of consecrating our hearts
to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary — in
living
deeply IN — Him — IN being united so
deeply
in the Mass — I see the oneness grow
ever deeper — as the Church a pilgrim
Church grows to greater maturity —
living
more according to God's will — The
Father's
Plan for the Church and the world.
The
priests are called Father — they are
to help to lead the flock as a deeply
united family following the Good
Shepherd.
Truth
is in Him — the more we live
in the truth — know the truth — the
truth
of Jesus Christ — the more we are
united.
Living in truth, being one in Him is
not to confuse the issue with our
individual uniqueness. Every person has
been given such talents to serve God
uniquely,
love God and others uniquely and build
God's
Kingdom helping to lead souls to heaven.
We
shout the joy of the resurrection —
singing Alleluia for the Victory has
been
won — Our lives are lived according to
God's
will — in the Plan of the Father living
the
Pascal Mystery of death/resurrection —
The
purple book "Light, Happiness and Peace"
by Fr. John J. Pasquini
is a gift and a very strong companion to
the prayers "Authenticity" a book of
prayers
by Fr. John.
Our
lives are but a simple breath
when compared to eternity — let us focus
vision of life in Him —
As
St. Paul says
"It is no longer I who live, but He
who lives in me."
Yes —
LIFE IN HIM IS LIFE
lived in Light, Happiness and Peace
—
This book
Light, Happiness and Peace is
a journey into the spiritual life —
an awakening of deeper life IN HIM.
This
book will be published under
Shepherds of Christ Publications and
sent to the
hierarchy in the Church with the
Newsletter as Authenticity was in
August.
Here
are some of the comments we received
from bishops and cardinals about the
book
Authenticity — a book of prayers and
meditations
that can help lead the soul
to the unitive life —
January 3, 2007 message continues
Messenger: Now
there were so many requests for this
book of prayers by Archbishops and
Bishops
for their priests.
Here
are some of these requests — so
we sent the book to them for their
priests —
January 3, 2007 message continues
Messenger: Both
of these books by Fr. John J. Pasquini,
editor of the Shepherds of Christ
Priestly Newsletter can
help lead to deeper oneness in the
hearts of
priests as they go deeper and deeper
into oneness with
the Divine God.
The
Church is "one", "holy", "Catholic" and
Apostolic — The Church is the body of
Christ and Jesus is the head.
A quote
from the book
Light Happiness and Peace by
Fr. John J. Pasquini
page 4
A Hardened Heart
"I
felt at the time that religion would impede my work. I
wanted to have nothing to do with
the religion of those I
saw all around me. I felt that I
must turn from it as from a
drug. I felt it indeed to be an
opiate of the people and not
a very attractive one, so I hardened
my heart. It was a
conscious and deliberate
process. Dorothy Day"
Fr.
John says
"Dorothy Day would eventually
respond to
God and soften her heart and become
a world leader in the Church's work
for the poor and the disenfranchised."
page 5
"When
we examine the lives of atheists, it is astonishingly
common to find these people lacking in
good fatherly figures. It
is difficult to pray "Our Father who art
in heaven" when our only
experience of a father has been that of
one who was evil, mean-
spirited, or non-existent. When looking
at the lives of the world's
major atheists, such as men like
Nietzsche, we are struck by this
lack of fatherly guidance. For people
such as this, nothing short
of a miracle is necessary to soften
their hearts.
It is
here where the communion of saints becomes so
significant (cf. Jn 2:1-14; Rv 5:8). The
communion of the faithful
here on earth and in heaven has a
profound effect on the softening
of hearts throughout the world, for by
themselves people with
hardened hearts are much too weak to
respond to the grace that
is being showered upon them. A tragic
event or the power of the
prayers of the saints is often the only
way these people soften their
hearts. In many ways, they are very much
like addicts. They often
need to hit rock bottom before they can
acknowledge the need of
another. It is through the prayers of
others, known and unknown,
that the world's hearts are softened."
January 3, 2007 message continues
Messenger: In
living more deeply the Unitive life —
being one with God: Father, Son and Holy
Spirit
and being deeply united to Mary —
we will be one in truth — one
in Spirit — one in love in the pure
and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
The
Shepherds of Christ Movement is a Movement
of hope.
As we
circulate the Priestly Newsletter
and these books centered in God's love —
deeply uniting to the Trinity — we will
spread a light of love and live in unity
in this world.
The
prayer chapters can help bring down
this grace as we pray for the priests,
the
Church and the world.
I
have seen God's grace change hearts
overnight, but the instruction — the
instrument to lead was there accompanied
with God's grace for the person to open
their
heart to the working of the Spirit's
healing
touch — changing hearts with grace
to bring a person lukewarm to deeper
holiness.
This
is the voice of the Good Shepherd
in the Priestly Newsletter and the book
—
opening the door for God's grace to work
for an awakening of souls to the unitive
life — deeper life IN Him.
The
Priestly Newsletter can enormously
help to strengthen the priests, the
Church and
the world. The Newsletter is reaching
78,000
priests — every 2 months — accompanied
by these
very important books on Catholic
spirituality
that can lead to the response of living
more
deeply united to and in God and unity
amongst all others.
I
want the world to be as God wants
it to be — God is all Powerful — God
can work in grace to move the heart
set in their ways to thirsting after Him
—
God's grace to change the fervent to
being
more fervent in their response to God's
love.
The
Priestly Newsletter and prayer chapters
are a pair — the instrument — the
Newsletter
to nourish and lead, the prayer chapters
—
the fervent prayers of the associates so
great grace will be released for the
priests,
the Church and the world.

"We
must thus, never underestimate the
power of praying for others. St.
Monica
prayed for thirty years for the
conversion
of her son, Augustine. Her
prayers
were successful in softening his
heart and he became the great
St. Augustine."
From Fr.
John's book
Light Happiness and Peace
the Introduction
"The
first stage of the spiritual life involves
the purgative stage, a stage of
purification.
It is followed by the illuminative
stage,
a stage of great enlightenment and
integration.
The third and final stage is the
unitive stage.
This is the stage of the mystics. It
is the
stage when one's will and God's will
are united
to such an extent that one may say,
without much reservation, that every
action performed is an
action of God."
In
writing here I cannot give this book
justice in my feeble attempts to
describe
the framework and gifts of the entire
texts
in its brevity and profound insight
stated so succinctly —
This
is a book that can help enliven
the love for God, the Church and the
world
and lead to greater unity of all who
read
it.
I
pray that you will help us circulate
it right away with the Priestly
Newsletter to
the hierarchy in the Church.
This
book is very much linked in
expression to the works of Fr. Carter,
but has a depth that can lead any
Christian into greater unity with God,
the Church and one another. It is
instructive, clearly expressed in
a framework of clarity and moving to a
new place of life in Him — especially
when
accompanied with the Newsletter and
prayers of the yellow Authenticity Book
and the daily, if possible, prayers of
the Shepherds of Christ Prayer manual.

Messenger: Fr. John
Pasquini from Light Happiness and Peace
page 12
"Grace provides the person with the
possibility of entering into the
Paschal
mystery — Jesus' life, death,
resurrection and ascension.
Consequently,
grace justifies a person. It makes
one a "new creation" in God."
For
me the reality of this all is overwhelming —
that God is and shares His Mystery with
us —
my joy is found in living more deeply my
life in Him and understanding more fully
God's precepts.
