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.

Excerpts from Blue Book 19

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry
My Bridegroom,
I love You my Bridegroom, give us what we need to make Your light known on the earth, my Bridegroom. Please I plead from the depth of my soul for this, my Bridegroom, my Bridegroom, my Bridegroom. Please help us.

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry
My Bridegroom,
The model is the all perfect heart of the woman clothed with the sun. Mary is the beauty, she is the pure and Immaculate one. This pew indeed is a gift, I have been close to Him in this pew. I thank You, for today, today I see the sun shine, tomorrow I may see a dark and cloudy day, today You have given me the gift of Your life within me. When I receive Him I receive His Body, His Blood, my desire to be most like Him. The desire of my heart is to be pure and holy like the Lady clothed with the sun. So today it is shining, this sun, in my heart, the Holy Spirit has filled me with His light and I can see into the dark corners of my heart as never before. I see the pride and the selfishness, I see that constant focus on the self. I see the selflessness of the Savior, Jesus. I see the woman clothed with the sun and she speaks, “Thy will be done.” I see Eve in the garden, Eve said, “My will be done.” I see Mary the New Eve, standing tall adorned in a crown of 12 stars and she speaks, “Thy will be done.” I see the angel and I see the handmaid of the Lord, the angel speaks, “Do not be afraid, Mary.” Mary says, “Not my will, but Thine be done.”
Harmony you say, this will be the days of peace when the wills of men are conformed to the will of the Father.
But let us look at the will. He commanded us to love God, love one another, yet we see the woman in the garden chose her own will. God gives us freely our will. He wants our love willingly. Would it be love if we were forced. He teaches us that love gives freely, He gives us our freedom.
In no way is a person in the Shepherds of Christ Movement forced to stay. A child in a family is taught about God the Father’s will by the way the child is taught to obey the earthly father.
A little family - our family.
A bigger family - the family of God the Father, a life in the spirit in which we are children of God.
Genesis 3: 20
The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.A physical mother, our mother, too, tainted by sin, we learn from our mother about God.
Many families today, do not teach the ways of God. Many do not see what they should see.
We see birds, we do not see the Creator. We watch the seeds increase and multiply. The Word must be planted in the hearts of men.
Our job is to lead children to God. To bear fruit for the kingdom.
We see the married couple, the olive plants about the table, we do not see the royal banquet, the Father’s table in which He feeds us the banquet for our souls the Body and Blood of Jesus.
I say this to you my beloved brothers and sisters. We live in families with fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters but we do not see and learn about the kingdom of God. The Bible teaches us the plan of the Father.
The Father is the Father of this family, we are one family living according to the Father's will. Our Mother is our
heavenly Mother Mary, she is all pure and Immaculate.The rules given to live by are given in the ten Commandments and His Word.
- I am the Lord thy God thou shall not have any gods before Me.
- Remember thou shall keep holy the Sabbath day.
- Honor thy father and thy mother.
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.” (Luke 8:21)

A Song from JesusMy Beloved Spouse,
I give myself completely to Thee, my most precious Savior and I want only Thee, that I can most beauteously serve You and bring forth Your truth.
I give this problem to You and I trust in Thee.
I surrender totally to You my Bridegroom.
I write for service of You for I would rather sit and be with Thee.
From the depth of my soul I cry out to You, all for God's glory, give me direction, fearlessness and peace.
I do not wish to do this task. I want clarity in thought and direction to do Thy holy will.
Song:

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry
My Beloved Spouse,
It is You I love, that You will live and dwell in me and I will be Your instrument. That we will know oneness in You. Tender love I feel in You now, the tension is gone, I dwell in Thee.
April 8, 1998
This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry
My Bridegroom,
I wanted You so bad, my main focus was desire for You, wanting
You, between flashes of glory which I felt so strongly through
the Mass the glory that must be given, by a soul, to You, but to
write and to have to think about glory is not it at all. The
soul is in such a state of
knowing God that glory is what it gives, the whole being wants
to glorify God, it is the natural coarse of action considering
the state of the soul in being possessed by God and knowing His
presence in their soul.
The being, the soul becomes so one with God that the state of
the soul is giving glory, it is a grace given, a light that is
given, a place of being, existing in Him and in that is the
state of the soul worshiping God.
We are as blind men with our minds that we think, we act, with
God He possesses the soul and the soul is existent in Him. The
state of the soul is praising, thanking, loving, wanting God.
Today after Communion the desire of wanting more and more of Him
as He absorbed my being, wanting this with the deepest desire to
never end, realizing the temporariness of it and wanting it
forever and completely being so absorbed in Him. My heart really
hurts now as a sword within it wanting completion and
satisfaction, feeling elated and ecstatically united to Him, but
oh the sword that feels as if it is piercing my heart because of
the ending of this rapture. I desire more. I want Him completely
forever. I see myself in my present state in life as living in
an endless desert thirsting for this union with Him.
God comes to me. He possesses my soul. I am caught up in Him,
all He is, His immense state of loving, every capacity within me
is intensely heightened.
God possesses my soul and I feel the intense love He has for
others. I felt intensely His love for the handmaids and the
Elpers and Melanie Noe, for Ellen, when I now think of a person
I am absorbed with His love for them, the way He loves them. I
feel overwhelming love, , just love. My state is love in Him.
My being is united to those I intimately love. Loving as He
loves in me, loving this state of rapture and purity, of freedom
from the dark side of myself, all is pure love in Him,
overwhelming pure love, not coming from a tainted fallen nature.
To be absorbed immensely in Him. This is our desire, for nothing
on the face of this earth compares to this presence of God
within my soul, when He acts on my soul and finds favor with me.
Man misses the boat in this world wishing to control their
relationship with God.
It is the Lamb that is the Initiator, that gives the grace and
floods the soul with this grace and the soul is absorbed and
possessed by the presence of God.
To explain this in my imperfect state with pen and slate is
beyond any means of expression. When the Bridegroom, the
Almighty God finds favor with a soul, He acts uniquely on that
soul and they share in the love experience of God loving an
individual soul most intimately. Each soul is uniquely precious
to Him, each one giving Him a unique pleasure, each relationship
with each soul is between the infinite God and the particular
soul.
He can be the Bridegroom of each soul and each is its own
pleasure for Him.
Each soul is created in His image and likeness uniquely
fashioned to give Him great pleasure by loving Him. 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. April 9, 1998
This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry
My Spouse,
I have walked through Lent with You by my arm as a Bridegroom.
Yesterday was the most fantastic experience where I knew that in
the depth of that union, nothing here is like it. There is
nothing to fear Your Might far surpasses all else, if I but
surrender and let You act in me.
I surrender myself totally to You. You have brought me to the
anniversary of the Last Supper. One other day last week at the
Mass, I saw You as one at the Last Supper, I saw Fr. Carter
celebrate the Mass, time stood still, all time was one, but the
presence of You celebrating the Mass at the Last Supper was
there. It was one moment, then and now, all time as one, all
together in the hands of the priest and I cried from the
experience of seeing You with the bread and the wine. I was so aware of
the great miracle taking place, so aware of Your love.
1 Corinthians 11, 23-26
For the tradition I received from the Lord and also handed on to you is that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it, and he said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' And in the same way, with the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.' Whenever you eat this bread, then, and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death until he comes.
I am now so aware of Your love for all I love. I want Your love for others to permeate my being. Few words being spoken, only love. I want to be filled with the love You have where the faults are far from You, there is overwhelming love in our weaknesses. This is how I wish to love my brothers, with overwhelming love despite any flaws. This is how I feel You loving me when I am so one with You in the Mass, all I feel is intense love for others.
Anything that is not right or good or veering from the truth must be handled in a community, but the love of Jesus is always there. Jesus' overwhelming, unconditional love that permeates the heart, but the Lord who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, acts always to bring forth truth in a soul. We are to be a most perfected religious community. We are to be the spouse of the Lamb. We are to live in the deepest holiest love in the TRUTH following His way, not veering to the right or left and operating with an abundance of His life permeating our very being. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. I love You my Bridegroom, I have sinned.
April 9, 1998
This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry
My Dear Spouse,
A priest's heart should be likened to the Heart of Jesus, a priest's virtues should be like the Virgin Mary, his soul should be married to the Lamb, his model is Jesus.
Mary is the highest human person. Mary is Immaculate. Mary loves Jesus. Mary stands beneath the cross. Mary is the most perfect handmaid of the Lord.
The earth would be a different place if all priests consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
The Priestly Newsletter is a binding force between Jesus and the priests. He is writing His message for the priests to take the priests to His Heart.
At every Mass we ascend the mountaintop. The priest is Jesus' instrument. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present.
We must guard our hearts before Mass and pray together fervently.
We act in such oneness with Christ in the Mass. We act as victors on the mountaintop.
We are victorious over the tauntings of satan and all the grace flows on the world.
We go into battle. How do we come to Mass. Before the Mass is a battle. The victory is won with hearts filled with love.
Our disposition is so important at Mass. Satan wants to divide hearts before Mass. Division in the hearts helps separate a soul from God.
We are to be deeply one with Christ and others at Mass – Not divided!
When we are one, the graces flow copiously.
Souls are to be one – not divided, not full of unrepented sin – pride, anger, jealousy, envy etc.
We approach the altar of sacrifice, our hearts must be filled with love. These are our arms to fight the battle.
The more our heart is consumed with love for God and others, the more the graces will flow.
Christ's heart is consumed with love for souls. He loves, He is love. It is the state of His being.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus is absolute truth - we must love abundantly as He loves. If we are one in Him, we love.
Any division and bitterness in our hearts effects the amount of oneness we have with Him. Thus effects our intercessory powers.
Help me spread the Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to the Priests. Great grace is outpoured in the Mass. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present.
I ascended the mountain of God and I was changed, He showed me Himself, I ate His Body, I drank His Blood and I was transformed.
Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.

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.

Liturgical Year

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 |
