Philippians 2: 6-11
Who, being in the form of God,
did not count equality with God
something to be grasped.But he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
becoming as human beings are;
and being in every way
like a human being,
he was humbler yet,
even to accepting death,
death on a cross.And for this God raised him high,
and gave him the name
which is above all other names;so that all beings
in the heavens, on earth
and in the underworld,
should bend the knee at the name of Jesus
and that every tongue should acknowledge
Jesus Christ as Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
R. Christ Humbled Himself
Sorrowful Mysteries
Agony in the Garden
1. Jesus: The pains of My Heart and they slept.
I wanted them to watch and to be with
Me — to know the anguish of
holding this cross in My Heart and
seeing all the sins of all men
for all time — knowing the sins
full well — the sinfulness of their
hearts, black in many deeds, so
unloving to their brothers —
2. Jesus: For I am love — I shook in this anguish,
I trembled, I knew that I would
endure this suffering and despite
this suffering, they would be lost
because of their sins, many of them —
3. Jesus: I saw the men in their sins, their
rejection of love, their hatred and
I paid the price with My Blood — I paid
for their sins.
4. Jesus: My betrayer was at hand, sheepishly, like
a man about to give into powerful
men — these men have no real power,
the men who put me to death, who
paid Judas for his kiss, the kiss
of betrayal of one I loved, who was
chosen by God to be an Apostle turned
to a betrayer —
5. Jesus: Judas betrayed the Son of God and satan
is always there to tempt, to try, to lie,
to do his dirty work, his darkness,
his unloving ways. Satan is relentless,
noisy, pressing down, arguing his case
to the man, his clever ways —
like a snake he moves sneakily
ahead — sss — he operates in sneaky
ways, undercover —
Oh My beloved Apostles can you not
watch one hour with Me —
watch and pray you do not enter into
the temptation — and they slept —
6. Jesus: Oh the kiss of betrayal as if I knew
not the state of his heart —
Oh I knew the whispers in his dark
heart —
And Peter cut off the ear of the
high priest's servant. He drew his sword
and he cut it right off —
The Apostles were so upset —
They saw Judas, they saw the
men abducting Me, they were
so frightened —
Like men of fear they wanted to
protect Me — fight these men and
get rid of them —
I healed his ear.
They took Me with chains and force —
7. Jesus: My Mother knew the whispers of the
night — She, My Mother of love,
She was so close to Me — She knew
in her heart, darkness filled the air —
8. Jesus: Oh My beloved ones the anguish of
their immediate violence on Me —
Their powerful blows, their knocking
Me around, the anger of their hearts —
black anger to beat Me, drag Me,
hurt Me, punish Me, hate Me
and Judas watched the fruit of
his dirty works — Judas sold the
Son of Man and Judas betrayed
Me with his kiss —
9. Jesus: Violence — they treated Me with
violence — My Apostles could
not help — they would not let anyone
talk to them — I was theirs — I was
the criminal — I deserved their treatment,
they thought, and nothing was
bad-enough for Me —
I suffered for your sins — their
weapons were made to hurt, to
rip the flesh —
10. Jesus: I was a carpenter — I used the tools to
gently form the wood into furniture
with love, chairs to rest on — tables
for people to eat on — My arms were
strong — My love, the love of God —
My Mother fixed My food and
served Me as her Son. She was
so close to Me — My Mother so pure
and tender of heart —
The men in charge acted quickly, when
his wife was given a dream - the
man did not listen — while they
contemplated My fate, they
whipped Me, they surrounded
Me, wrapped in Chains — My face
disfigured from their whipping —
they knocked Me to the ground —
They hit Me with all their strength
with weapons —
whipping and striking Me —
hitting so hard —
tearing My flesh —
bruising My body —
disfiguring My face with wounds —
Oh My beloved, disfiguring My face,
My eye, beating Me from head
to toe with sharp instruments,
hitting Me, chained up, to the ground.
The power these men thought they had
was false power — My Blood came
from inside, was baked on, wounds
crusted over, blood in My mouth,
My mouth, too was hit and My
teeth going through My cheeks —
Hitting My face, slapping My face
made them feel powerful
over Me —
The face is a man's special gift —
eyes, nose, mouth and they
hit Me on one side of My face
then the other, My face bled —
My hair matted stuck to My
face.
Judas watched his handy work —
weaker and weaker I became —
The Apostles, except for John,
full of fear, they fled —
Peter denied Me, 3 times —
He was consumed with fear —
Judas was sick and threw the
money back to them, but
they would not take it
now —
The money was spilled — the devil
was not done yet —
He pressed on Judas —
The devil uses other people to do
his work — people who give
into him —
Men and women say 'no' to God
and 'yes' to satan —
My Mother suffered, she could do
nothing in the anguish —
She knew from the prophesy
of Simeon that I would suffer —
I would suffer and die for your sins, for
the awful sins now, the unloving
hatred of men, I took on the sins
of all men, from all time and
Judas was tormented by his actions —
He despaired because of his transgressions,
Judas did not know My message of
mercy and love and forgiveness —
Judas tied the ropes to the tree and
hung himself —
Men and rulers would not listen to
women and others — they were
looked-up-to, for their harsh ruling
ways —
They looked like they had power —
They loved their control over men's
lives — punishment —
Those in charge could execute
criminals — they wanted
the people to see them as powerful,
unyielding —
They wanted others to fear them —
They were in charge —
They ruled —
They saw criminals and they
could determine their fate —
They put Me before the rulers —
My face disfigured with wounds —
Bloodied and beaten —
My hair matted —
My eye swollen shut —
My face cut with dried on
blood —
Chains were on Me —
My mouth inside full of blood —
My body bleeding inside —
The strong man stood, armor and
ruling, the people waited
the ruling —
They sent Me back and forth
first from one ruler to
another —
But in the end they condemned
Me to death —
Sing Song: God's Love
Jesus: Comfort My Heart sing the Song I gave you
to sing —
Sing: I Love You Jesus
Jesus: Oh the heart of these men who
condemned the Son of God to
death —
First they brought out Barabbas
and the people cried to --
"crucify Me"
A big criminal, (Barabbas) and they
put, Me, to death —
Soldiers marched so strong —
Soldiers show the rulers
even more powerful
when they make decisions —
Scourging at the Pillar
1. Jesus: For they whipped Me raw —
The flesh was whipped raw —
The Blood, My Saving Blood —
Oh My world I know your
sins for they are scarlet
red —
The murdering of babies, the
hateful lies — they ripped
My flesh for your sins —
2. Jesus: Oh Blood shot in the air —
The babies that are torn from
the womb — disfigured —
The Creation of My Father —
Oh My babies, arms torn off —
skulls crushed —
Cry for these men putting babies
in an execution chamber —
They have power over the innocent —
I think not —
My body was beaten raw —
3. Jesus: You have no power if it was
not given from above —
4. Jesus: Blood Red, My Body with
wounds —
Can a mother forsake her child —
5. Jesus: Today they tear babies from
the womb —
Crush their little hearts —
Oh I was torn and whipped and
I washed their feet —
I show you the way —
I came to serve —
Not to be served —
I showed you
My way of love —
6. Jesus: Do you see My flesh torn?
Do you see My body raw?
7. Jesus: A mass of blood —
Blood covering the floor —
8. Jesus: Oh the Blood bath of My babies —
The killing of children —
9. Jesus: They carried Me off —
dragging My body
like a sponge saturated
in blood with
arms and legs —
10. Jesus: My Blood I shed for the
sins of this world —
My Blood — I was whipped
raw and they laughed
at Me —
The Crowning with Thorns
1. Jesus: They gave Me a crown
of thorns —
they saw My Body
raw with Blood and wounds
and they laughed.
2. Jesus: They crowned My head
pounding down the
thorns —
Love is forgiving —
I gave them My gifts —
I cured the sick,
I forgave sins and they
whipped Me raw —
They spit on Me
They crowned Me with
thorns.
3. Jesus: Blood came from My eyes,
My mouth, My ears —
they put a purple robe
on My Bloody Body —
4. Jesus: The crowd was ready to
condemn Me —
"Crucify Him", "Crucify Him"
5. Jesus: "Hail, King of the Jews"
"Take him away,
take Him away"
"Crucify Him"
6. Jesus: And the ruler washed his
hands —
How do you wash the
Blood of Jesus from your
hands?
7. Jesus: After all this they led Me
away, I could not
hardly walk —
8. Jesus: They gave Me a cross
I embraced My cross —
Finally I am on My
way — to pay for
your sins —
9. Jesus: Oh I saw through eyes
of blood —
Oh My mouth and body raw
inside.
10. Jesus: My Mother watched —
She could hardly stand
the pain, the tears
her face reddened
with the crying,
suffering —
The Carrying of the Cross
1. Jesus: I fell hard.
They whipped me while
I was down —
My body one open wound.
2. Jesus: The cross I carried laden
with your sins, the
sins of the world —
The cross I carried laden
with your sins, and
the sins of the
world —
3. Jesus: Mary and John and Mary Magdalene
followed —
I fell again —
How to even describe
this?
How do I describe it —
Can you see it —
4. Jesus: Can you see Me looking
into Mary's eyes —
Can you see her watching
Me as a child —
protecting Me —
rocking Me —
5. Sing: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
Jesus: Can you see Our eyes
peering into each others
eyes —
the suffering in her
heart —
I saw her sorrow —
She saw My suffering —
6. Jesus: They forced Simeon to help Me.
Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could not move. My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today? Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and love of Me.
7. Jesus: They kept whipping
Me while I tried to
move and carry the
cross —
They whipped Me to the
ground —
8. Jesus: Veronica wipes My face.
Jesus: My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you!
9. Jesus: On with the show —
The women came and cried and
I told them to cry not for
Me but for yourselves
and your children.
10.
Jesus: I fell hard the third time. I was so weakened I could not go on. My body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! My child, My child, My greatest agonies were not the wounds to the body. They were the wounds I experienced to My heart. Do you know a little more now how I love you? It is in meditating on My Passion and death that you will realize My immense love for you. When you fall, when you struggle, I give you the grace to get up. I never give you more than you can handle. Your strength will come from Me. Come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am waiting for you this day. Oh, how I love you!
Jesus: They took Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me. They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I showed you the way to surrender, always complying with the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how I love you!
R. See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross.
Mary: Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.
Jesus: They pounded the nails into My first hand, then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand. The blood poured from these wounds that went totally through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they nailed My feet! You do not know what pain I suffered, My child. My children, My children, for each one of you I suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!
Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet
Jesus is Crucified and dies on the Cross
1. From Blue Book II
I Died For You
February 23, 1994
Jesus: I want this emotion in the letter I told you to write. I, Jesus, Son of God, talk to you with such emotion! I am He Who died a brutal death for love of you. I died for you! I love you this much, to give My Life! Yet you couldn't even write when I asked you. You must do exactly as I say. I do not want you ever to say no to Me!
I have such emotion! I am telling you how I died a brutal death and you, My child, did not write for Me! What more can I do? What more do they want? You put others before Me or you would do as I command. I want you to do as I tell you every moment.
I am the Lord. I am the Son of God. Such emotion I let you feel for My death. I died. I am a person. I was human and I died for you. Think of yourself giving your life for someone and they do not care. What can I do to shake you? What more can I say? I am here and I am loving you and pleading with you to listen to Me with this emotion that God is telling you. I am Jesus. I died for you. I gave My life for you and do you even listen, My little sweet one? You didn't want to write it for My children. When I give you a command, you write. When I say do, you do. Selflessness! I am pushing you because I need your total surrender. Do not ever deny My writing to My loved ones. You have a responsibility. I don't care where you are when I talk. I am God and I talk to you. I am so present to you.
Listen. I need your selflessness. I need your surrender. I need your life, given for love of Me and Me alone. I need you to be the light that shines on the hill, that does not go in and out but is constant in My love. I need your commitment. I need your attention at every moment. I am feeding you My words every moment on paper and in your hand. You must obey Me exactly as I command. No questions, only action. I want action. Now! You write when I say write. I don't care where you are. You worry not for others. I am giving you the mighty medicine. Would you tell the doctor to wait? I am God and I do not ever want to wait while you play a safe game with Me. When I say do something, I want you to do it. You are My beloved and I am filling you with fire.
I am pushing you to do that which I need done. Do not ever stop to look around. Keep your focus on Me and My commands for you. I am using you every moment. I must be able to count on your constant consent to do My will immediately! I am calling you to this work and I want you to comply. I love you ardently. I am so full of love for you. Focus on this and this alone. I am Who am. I am God, child. Do not ever hesitate. Do not doubt or think. You must act as I act in you or My work will not be done.
Be selfless about My commands. You will do My work. You will spread My words of love and create emotion with My songs and I will use you to bring My flock to My love. I love every soul! You must spread My love.
Note: (Meditating on the Crucifixion) Going to Mass at the seminary at 8:00 a.m. was rushed. He said to me, "Where are you going, child. Do you not feel My presence with you?" A calm came over me. Then He started lamenting how He died for us, how He is a true person and He loves us so much. He said, "I died for you."
R. He gave His life for us. He is the little lamb led to the slaughter out of love for us. He said, "I need you to do this work now and I am pushing you." He was so upset! He died for us. He loves us so much as to give His life.
He begged me to spread His love, to tell others how He, bloodied, bruised and beaten, gave us His life.
Jesus: I am God. I am God. I died. Spread My love now! Now! Now! Now! Now! I am begging you not to hold back! Read these letters now, read and learn about My love. I beckon you to speak of My love. Shout it from the high roof. Proclaim it in the cities. Jesus Christ died for love of you and He is risen! I am He Who is God and I died for you!
Listen and preach My love and emotion here. Priests will create little cities, little cities in each church to spread the light of Christ to this sick world. Each priest can create his own little city, a powerhouse of God's love. God has all the power. His power is endless. It never runs out. It is might. You have no power except through Him. Churches filled with the intimate love of Jesus will be powerhouses.
I am God, My little ones. God can do all things. I can make your cities light up the darkness. I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. I am the light of life. I am God! I can do all things. I want to act in you. You need to be in constant union with Me. My priests, you need to be selfless. My soul and yours are one. I want to act in you.
Hold not back. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me.
2. Song: A Song from Jesus
3.
R. He hung for three agonizing hours on the cross against the darkened sky. His greatest agonies were not the agonies of His body, but those of His Heart for the great love He has for each and every soul.
Jesus: I gave Myself to you, My dear ones. I gave My all. I hung with My arms spread in total surrender. My head was punctured; My hands and feet were nailed to the cross. I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you this day in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you. I, God, give you Myself! What more do you want?
Song: Oh, burning Heart, oh, Love divine, etc.
R. They pierced His Heart with a lance and what flowed forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the Church, water for Baptism and blood for the Eucharist. His life, death and resurrection live on in the Church this day.
4.
R. Mary stood under Jesus' cross as He was put to death. The child that she had held in her arms as Simeon prophesied, And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary! Now Jesus is dead on the cross! He gave His flesh, He gave His blood so that we might be with Him forever in heaven. He held not back. He gave His all. He calls out to us this day to see through the eyes of His mother as she appears and calls out with a Heart of great love, "Return to the love of my Son! He is with you this day. He remains with you, no less present than the day that He hung on the cross, in the Eucharist. He longs for you to come and be with Him. He is in your brother. How can you not love your brother when Jesus died for your brother?"
Her Heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance. What came forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the church. He lives with us this day in the Church. He gives to us His sacraments, the source of His life! He gives to us the Sacrament of Penance whereby any sin that we commit can be taken away through the priest. He wants us to be so close to Him! He gives us everything to be close to Him. But we see with such limited vision only those things that are right before our face, when the true reality is that which we don't see with our eyes, the reality of the invisible divinity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the consecrated Host! This is reality! This is our life! This is our power! This is God! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
5.
R. His totally lifeless body was placed in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body in her arms. This is how He obeyed the Father's Will. Jesus gave His life for us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side. See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is love.
Mary: I held His lifeless body in my arms. See through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves you so much!
6.
If we ever doubted for one second that we were loved, we could visualize the picture of Mary as she sat beneath the cross with the lifeless, battered, bruised and bloodied body of her Son in her arms, the same child that she held when Simeon prophesied her suffering. He gave His last breath. He gave the last beat of His Heart. He gave His all! This is the way He complied with the Will of the Father. He came to show us the way. He died in perfect peace. To His death He was in peace because He knew the Father's love. The Father loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son for love of us! The Spirit descended upon the Virgin Mary and the Word was made flesh! The love of the Two Hearts! Such immense love beating for us!
In all love there is suffering. Her Heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!7.
R. His enemies rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Jesus. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. He loves us so much!
8.
R. And now Jesus, His body lifeless, is locked in a tomb! What cold reality for Mary to realize that His body is now gone! A stone separated her from her Son!
He gave His last breath! He gave the last beat of His Heart for love of each one of us! And she comes to us this day with her sweet, beautiful voice and she asks us to go to her Son and love Him! How can we refuse Jesus who spread His arms and gave His life for each and every one of us? How can we not trust Him when He loved us so much that He allowed them to tear His flesh, to crown Him with piercing thorns and, lastly, to hang Him on a cross? He truly gave His life for us! He, truly God, is with us this day, the same as the day He died on the cross, in the tabernacle! And we take it so lightly! Death has no power over Him! Locked in the tomb for three days, He rose triumphant on the third day as He had foretold. He comes to give us life. He gives us the sacrament of Baptism that initiates us into His life, that makes us children of God and heirs of heaven if we remain in the state of grace. He asks two things: love of God and love of one another! He came to show us the way and His way is love. To His death on the cross He loved each one of us! He calls out to each one of us here today to be His soldiers, to march on a world that has forgotten God, that has forgotten what it is like to love! It is a battle to live in this world. But the battle is won with hearts that are filled with His love, empowered by the grace and might that He pours out in the Eucharist. He calls out for us to come to the Eucharist and to the tabernacle and be fed with His very flesh and blood. To feed on Divine Life, the greatest nourishment, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God! This is the love He gives. This is the love He asks us to share.9.
Jesus: I call you to sainthood! I call you to holiness! As I suffered this spit that hit My face and body, I call you to suffer with Me all the persecution that you may receive. For in this persecution I am totally present at every second. As your heart beats, as you breathe every breath, I never leave you! If the earth shakes around you, if it rocks and the floor cracks, you will sit steadfast for I never leave you. Hear the small, gentle voice within your heart as it calls to you, "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
10.
Jesus: This time between noon and 3:00 p.m. is so important to Me. Spend this time focusing on being ever more united to Me and think of My passion. See Me as I hung on the cross. See My flesh torn! See the blood as it ran down My body. Spend this time each Friday focused from noon until 3:00 p.m. on My passion. It is in meditating on this passion that you will realize My immense love that I have for you. I truly gave My blood. I gave you My flesh. I give you My body and I give you My blood this day in the Eucharist. Come to Me and spend time with Me after Communion and let Me work in your heart, for I love you so dearly, My beloved ones. I am Jesus. Jesus! I love you so much!
Jesus: I speak and so many do not listen! I am crying out to you to listen to My voice here, to read My letters for they are truly letters of love that I give to each one of you. It is in reading these letters that you will know more and more the immensity of the love that I have for you. You are My soldiers that I send into the sick world with the medicine to heal so many hearts. You are the chosen ones I have called here to this Center. Please, I beg you, take My call seriously, for I am truly Jesus and I speak to you this day. So many take My plea lightly. I beg! I plead! I ask Rita to talk more and more about My pleadings. You do not know how I am longing for you to be so close. How I want you to surrender and let Me operate in your hearts! You tap ever so lightly when there is an ocean of My love that I want to give to you. Surrender your hearts and read My letters of love for it is in these letters that you will know My love more and more.
Jesus: I give Myself to you at every Eucharist and you take it so lightly! Take Me seriously, My children, for I am truly with you with much love! How it wounds My aching Heart that you do not listen.
Song: A Song from Jesus
Given January 2, 2010 (excerpt)
Jesus: Rise up Jerusalem your time is come
Let your days be consumed with light —
For the glory of the Lord is upon you —
Do not be afraid, for you know that I am with you —
Today and always —
You are not orphaned
You are never alone —
Open your heart —
Be an empty vessel, ready to be filled
R. Light covered the earth —
And men knew, more and more, of His saving grace
He calls us to peace — peace, love and joy —
Our hearts must be empty — so He can abundantly
feed us - fill us with His life, His holy gifts
for us
Jesus: Awake Jerusalem
Let your light shine on the people —
That your heart is made ready for a mighty King
For now darkness covers the earth and
I call you to the light — to shine like a great star —
Hold not back from others the riches I want
to give you —
My Heart is consumed with love for thee
But you search a barren desert and
My gifts will fill you to the brim with what
brings your hearts real joy
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
You scamper in pain of your own making —
Reach with your hearts —
Your thoughts tell you tales of woe —
It is knowing God and loving in your heart
that brings you peace —
Come and dance to the music of the angels —
Don't dance to the music of one in darkness —
It clangs and disorder results — not sweet
music —
On the harp you will play sweet things —
Your toes lighted as one walking on air —
When the earth says — this way —
that way —
and all are made weary by
false directions —
You say — dance to the music of the angels —
live with the Holy Spirit's counsel —
Oh fruitless ones — know not their own
emptiness — they keep doing the same
thing — only harder and the results
are famine —
They are like dry bones —
left to rot and they do not even
see their own destitution —
One night as the darkness seemed extra
bleak —
above the earth there was a light of
such beauty —
stars surrounded the star of greatest
light
And beneath a baby was born —
The Savior of the World
I took flesh for you My precious ones —
I was born in poverty in a stable and
I died in poverty on the cross
Draw out for
He spoke this way
The night was bleak —
The star a light of the greatest splendor —
for My precious ones — lost in
sin
Oh the love I have for you
You cannot even fathom it in your
feeble minds —
When one comes to My sanctuary — you know —
I am truly present there —
there is an awe
there is a reverence
there is a gift, I give you
I give you Myself — Truly present in the Eucharist
Rise up Jerusalem,
Your day has come,
The waters are ready,
The hills sing My glory —
The message is hope —
My little ones be messengers of hope —
My little ones be witnesses of hope —
Light candles of your joy —
Put them before My altar
Put them before My crib today —
That your candle of light will shine to the earth —
A beacon of hope you say —
Say 'yes' to the Savior
Sing the songs I asked you to sing
A Song from Jesus
I Love You Jesus
The Rosary Song
Little Child
God's Love
Teach Me to Love with Your Heart
When darkness covered and hung heavy —
your heart was filled with hope —
A beacon of hope for the world
Rise up Jerusalem, your light has come —
Darkness covered the earth,
But I came
I am the Light of the World
Sing: Jesus, Jesus the Light of the World
I am the King of Kings
I came in poverty for love of you —
Rags or riches —
My riches are not cloths
My riches are your hearts filled with love —
love only the Savior can give you
Reach, now, Reach high lest you miss
My message here
It is a message of peace on earth —
Good will to men —
My Movement is to launch this message
of peace and tranquility
I am the Savior — I speak to the dark
little towns crying for My message —
do you hold it back out of fear —
Go forth, my chosen special one, like
a soldier with the armor of
My light —
When darkness covered the earth — I came to
you in light — in My building to tell
the world of the real presence
I am the author of the Light
I am the Light
I bring My message of light to My scared
world —
Deliver My message with conviction —
not as one fallen to the ground and
hung up on a vine
Stand erect, before the men —
Conviction, I tell you —
For souls are at stake and
I give you the message to light their path —
I give you the message to help them
Little men afraid —
When the reality is — you should fear what
brassy men are telling your children
while you act foolishly and fearfully
with a message from God —
Who should be the shy one
The one who carries scrolls from My hand
Or the man spreading error — like a cancer
to the young —
Come, Oh Come Messiah — Sing and don't turn
your head in any other direction,
but in the direction of the altar
The world is viewing a dung heap pile
and parading it before the young —
Why do you smite Me for My message
of Light
Be a soldier, dumb one —
A soldier of My Light to the town in darkness —
Like a cancer — the darkness has
spread
Spread My Light and love this Epiphany
from My Centers
Be ready to speak for Me of this message
I have given you this day
A mouse can be caught in a dark corner —
Let your eyes be made light with
My message of love —
It is the only message that will work
for those caught in darkness —
And darkness covered the earth, but
in these pockets of light —
the light streamed across
the darkness — shouting My
message of love —
Love dispels the darkness
See through the Father's eyes —
Not the eyes of self —
self-consciousness
selfishness
selfish vision
Put on the glasses of God's will
Let your light shine in the darkness
Amen, Alleluia

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postageGuiding 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

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year

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

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
Inspiring Homilies covering partial year of Cycle A by Fr. Joe Robinson
