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.

Hail MaryR. Song: Glory Be to the Father and to
the Son and to the Holy Spirit...We praise You our God
We praise You God
We love You God
Today's ScriptureRomans 3: 21-29
God's saving justice was witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, but now it has been revealed altogether apart from law: God's saving justice given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. No distinction is made: all have sinned and lack God's glory, and all are justified by the free gift of his grace through being set free in Christ Jesus. God appointed him as a sacrifice for reconciliation, through faith, by the shedding of his blood, and so showed his justness; first for the past, when sins went unpunished because he held his hand; and now again for the present age, to show how he is just and justifies everyone who has faith in Jesus. So what becomes of our boasts? There is no room for them. On what principle- that only actions count? No; that faith is what counts, since, as we see it, a person is justified by faith and not by doing what the Law tells him to do.
Psalm 130: 1-6From the depths I call to you, Yahweh:
Lord, hear my cry.
Listen attentively
to the sound of my pleading!If you kept a record of our sins,
Lord, who could stand their ground?
But with you is forgiveness,I rely, my whole being relies,
Yahweh, on your promise.
My whole being hopes in the Lord,
more than watchmen for daybreak;
more than watchmen for daybreak
Luke 11: 47-54
'Alas for you because you build tombs for the prophets, the people your ancestors killed! In this way you both witness to what your ancestors did and approve it; they did the killing, you do the building.' And that is why the Wisdom of God said, "I will send them prophets and apostles; some they will slaughter and persecute, so that this generation will have to answer for every prophet's blood that has been shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the Temple." Yes, I tell you, this generation will have to answer for it all.' Alas for you lawyers who have taken away the key of knowledge! You have not gone in yourselves and have prevented others from going in who wanted to.' When he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began a furious attack on him and tried to force answers from him on innumerable questions, lying in wait to catch him out in something he might say.
R. God wants our love.
He is love.
Only one thing is important. Eternal salvation.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
May God bless us in His abundance.
We adore You Lord.
We love You Lord.We surrender as little babies of God the Father.
Sing: Glory Be to the Father and to
the Son and to the Holy Spirit...
Create in me Lord a clean heart that I will be Your example in all I do.
Love Justice.
Seek Goodness.
God gives generously.
Never disobey what you know He wants.
Love much.
Pray for your enemies.
Pray always.
God is good always.
Sing: Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
R. Fortitude. Being a soldier for Christ
Cowardly is the opposite of fortitude.
Being stubborn to what God
is making clear we are to do is a bad thing.
Prudence is doing it for love of God.
We want the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
Fortitude fighting for Christ.
Call to holiness.
Virtues
Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Guide us Heavenly Father
not to be cowardly.
Excerpt from the Pre Blue Book
Excerpt from April 16, 1992
R.
The truth shall set you free. I am
speaking the truth, lies are deception and
cause confusion and hurt. The truth is that
which we need to embrace and spread to
have happiness. Covering up of the truth
usually is not to our advantage. Covering
up the action to protect another person can
be enabling them to continue their lewd
behavior. In the light of truth – that which
really is, is brought to light and dealt with
– hiding the truth is what allows it to
go on. Say for example: in an alcoholic or
dysfunctional family you are not protecting
the person but enabling them to continue
their problem.Jesus:
Be of a clean heart and you will not
have to cover things up – love one another
and try honestly to give each their just due
and there will be nothing to hide. All evils
shall be brought to light and all goods shall
be revealed in the day of reckoning. Fight
a good fight live a good life, love, be kind
and be ever attentive to the needs of those
around you and you will be blessed with
ever lasting happiness.For I say unto you, many are called
but few are chosen, it is up to you to follow
the path of right. You can do My will or
reject My will. My will is the WAY, the
TRUTH and the life. The way to a long
lived happy life and to experience life is
through the truth. The truth in all things.
Do unto others as you would want them
to do unto you. Love one another and
cherish your precious moments you
have together.The gift of children are the great gifts
of all, in them is life and
love and innocence. Cherish these
years when they are young and teach them
honesty and truth at all cost, for you are
molding them to bear fruit. They are My
precious gifts to you to have and hold and
teach. Your example is the way you teach.
Each moment is precious to behold
because when it is over it is gone forever.
More precious than jewels are the moments
of your lives because you will only live the
moment now and it is gone forever.Make each moment precious, by loving
one another. God is first always – Before
anything else – any other order is OUT of
ORDER and does not work – any other
ORDER is not God’s order. His life is
simple – it is not confused,
it is simple LOVE AND TRUTH – these
are the jewels of each moment.
Do the will of God.I am your God, you shall have
no other gods before me – not WEALTH,
FOOD, SEX, DRINK, I am your God
and I am first, when I am first, I give you
everything necessary to live. You are
working for Me, I will work in you, I will
make your life work, you let go and know
I am your captain. I love you and I know
what you need to make you happy. I
have your best interest at heart. Trust
in Me and come to Me and make your
ways, My ways. I love you more than
any other human person could love you.
I love you with My Divine Love. I am your
God and you are My precious creation, I
made you to love Me and love My other
children, do this and I will bless you with
peace. I am your God and I love you,
forever, every moment in every trial and in
every tear. I cried, I cried when Lazarus
died. I wept bitterly, I cried when I carried
My cross and felt betrayed and hurt, I
created your tears as a cleanser for you. A
way to release that which builds up in you.I am your God, I hold your hand, I want
you to put your head in My lap and weep
and come to Me and tell Me of your joy,
I want you to be you, created by God, I am
there to listen and support and love you.
I am your best friend, and I love you more
than you can love yourself – trust Me with
your will and your life and I will make it
beautiful for you. Be happy and spread
your love to each other – the devil comes
with his lies. The devil says “You are not
enough, you didn’t do enough, you can’t
do it.” – I am your God, listen to Me not
the devil. Believe in your life living
according to your vocation for My honor
and glory. Don’t be jealous, angry, envious,
mean seeking dominance for dominance
sake –Don’t be willful. Do God’s will with love.
You were created by Me, I LOVE you
My precious child.
R. The sun rises every day.
God gives us the darkness to rest.
Alleluia
Sing: 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. We are children of the Father.
He loves us.
Love God with your whole heart, your
whole soul and your whole being.
Luke 1: 46-55
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.
Sing: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
R. Littleness.
Matthew 11: 25
At that time Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.
Sing: Prayer for Union with Jesus
Song: Prayer for Union with Jesus
(refrain)Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
(refrain)When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)
R. Jesus died for our sins.

Guiding Light
- Reflect on the Word
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.

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the
Liturgical Year
$ 15.00

|
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. $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 |
|
Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) — Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10 |
