                Given November 17, 2011

                R. As the days move into Thanksgiving
                and Christmas — we are moving into
                the great Feast of Christ the King and
                then Advent.

                    Once again Fr. Joe has allowed us
                to publish and circulate his homilies
                to all the priests in the United States. We
                need funds to print another 16,000 books
                so priests can have the great gift
                before Advent starts or the beginning
                of Advent. What a gift — the homilies
                focusing on the Word and the Eucharist —
                the priests can refer to and use weekly —
                The truth in this world of distorted
                vision — A gift that keeps giving
                to priests and people 52 weeks
                of the year —

                    Here is an excerpt I wrote in
                the homily book —
 

               

From the Cycle B Homily Book

Building the Kingdom of Truth

    The Eucharist and the Word is the Bread of Life – In this world with distorted vision – we spread this book to you – Focusing on the Word – The Word alive in our Hearts – Reflecting on the Word – THIS IS TRUTH

    The more we live the Word in our lives, the more we live Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection in our lives – the more we know the truth and see more clearly the vision of our heavenly Father –

    We have been given the Catholic Church – Pillar of truth – We have been given the Word – We have been given the Commandments –

    Because of original sin we have distorted vision – Living in the Word . . obeying the Commandments – Living according to the Church’s teachings helps us to live in the truth – to see more the vision of the Father – We know in this distorted world – THE TRUTH! !

    We pray the Our Father at Mass – We focus on our Heavenly Father and His Plan for us – We want unity as children of God

    In spreading these homilies and our writings on the Eucharist – we want men to be fed more and more with the Bread of Life – We want to live in the truth – We want to live in greater faith, hope and love – To live in unity –

    To date – 17 years – we have circulated 15,000,000 Priestly Newsletters loose and in books from Fr. Carter and other priests.

    We have begun prayer chapters in 8 languages with the Church's Imprimatur, around the world, so there is a network of prayer out there praying for our priests, the Church and the world –

    If we have this devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, we are helping ourselves to be more united in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary as Mary asked for at Fatima –

    When we die there will be a network of prayer around the world praying for our beloved priests and the Church –

    This to me is the greatest gift I can give to my children and grandchildren in helping more and more our holy priests – We hope people love God and others as they dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    We pray people love the Church more and more and thank God for this precious gift of the Church and the priest and the Word – We pray people live as strong members of the mystical body of Christ –

    The world is in so much need of prayer and that deep relationship with Mary, Mother of the Church – The Holy Spirit works in that Spousal union with Mary helping us to do God's will –

    Thank you for your willingness to answer God’s call in focusing on the Word and praying for the priests, the Church and the world with us –

    May God bless you in your mission of loving and serving God and helping to build the Kingdom of God.

    May the Light of Christ shine on the earth as we live more holy lives in Him and in His Word –

    We should respond enthusiastically to Christ’s call to help build up the Kingdom of truth and love, of justice and that the peace of Christ is spread on this earth.

John 15: 5-6

I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a branch –and withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire and are burnt.
 

    We get our life from Jesus – He is the vine – we are the branches – A branch cannot bear grapes if it is disconnected from the vine – We cannot do anything without Him

Sing: Bread of Life

John 17: 21

    May they all be one, ...
 

    We want to follow Christ! We are to witness to Christ! We are to live in the truth!

                    in the truth — worshipping and
                    obeying God —

November 5, 2011

Dear Father,

     I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.  

     In the world today it is good for us to remember, what our founder, Fr. Carter said, the individual Christian, the Church and the world is in the state of becoming.   

Priestly Writing and Prayers

In 17 years of this Movement we have sent loose and in books, over 15,000,000 Priestly Newsletters to priests and hierarchy. We have prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and the world all over the world (found in the backs of this book and most of our books), on a page brochure we enclosed. This is a network of prayer in 8 languages around the world. We believe these prayer chapters, many 17 years old, can be a network of prayer praying for the priests, the Church and the world, giving great devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, now, and in the future when we are gone.

 

We pray 24 hours a day before the exposed Eucharist in China, Indiana for you and all your work in helping the Church to be what God wants it to be in all its members. (picture enclosed) We love the Church, the pillar of truth, and we give our lives living, in recognition of this calling, to pray for the Church and the world and for all our priests and to circulate these writings on the spiritual life.

 The Word 

     It is exciting to me, Rita Ring, co-founder of Shepherds of Christ, to read Fr. Joe’s homilies and my love of the Word grows ever more and more. We want the Word to live in us. It is a two-edged sword. The Word in our hearts aiding us in making our contribution in helping to build the Kingdom using the unique God-given talents God gave us.   

The Father’s Family 

     God is our Creator, we were created uniquely with a purpose to make our unique contribution to the building of the Father’s family. Living in love as brothers and sisters and realizing we are to contribute in helping to make the Church and the world more as God intends.   

Our Christ Life and Our Mission

     In the sacrament of baptism, we receive a sharing in His life. We are to grow in this Christ-life making the contribution God wants as we live more deeply in Him. 

     We are so thankful for all you do.
     We are so thankful for all our priests. 

 

      Fr. Carter, S. J. Doctorate, founder of the Shepherds of Christ, believed he was called by God in this mission to send the Priestly Writings. Fr. Carter said Jesus told him to pray these particular prayers and begin these prayer chapters around the world, praying for the priests, the Church and the world. We have begun these prayer chapters for over 17 years now since 1994.
 

The Mass 

     We as members of the mystical body of Christ can help in being united to the Mass with pure hearts – all day – offering up our every day works, serving God according to His will in love. It is in the interior offering in our hearts that we want to be pure, holy, loving and following in Jesus’ footsteps – in all we do – united to the Masses going on around the world – praying for grace to be outpoured for our priests, the Church and the world. 

     God is love and we are to pray in love for our brothers and sisters of the world, relying on God’s Might. 

     The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present – a fountain of grace being poured out on us hungry, hungry souls. We adore God, we thank God, we petition God for grace for the Church and the world and we want to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of the world.   

Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary 

     We give ourselves in Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and we pray to God to help us grow in our graced life until we are with Him wrapped in His embrace for all eternity. 

     Please help us spread these prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and the world and giving great devotion to the Pure and Holy Hearts of Love of Jesus and Mary.   

The Father’s Plan – Love  

I heard a song once, it said “What the world needs now is love.” The Plan of the Father is that we love God with our whole heart, our whole soul and our whole being and that we love our neighbor as ourselves.

    God is love. God first loved us. It is our response to God’s love.
 

 

     Man is made in the image and likeness of God, so we are to love!
     Happiness is found in God.

     Spread the Good News, Jesus has died, He has risen and this is our call in this life – to love – to pray for the priests, the Church and the world. 

Homilies from Fr. Joe, My Brother 

     I, with all of us at Shepherds of Christ, pray that you, God’s holy chosen one, will be blessed. This book of homilies from Fr. Joe Robinson, my brother, is a cherished gift he has allowed us to send to you.  

Sincerely and with much love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

Rita Ring, Co-founder
Shepherds of Christ Ministries 
 

John Weickert, our President, has given much to make this happen and all our faithful people, Servants and Handmaids of the Good Shepherd and Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and Associates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

I frequently make use of them when preparing my own Sunday homilies, because they are theologically solid but also very down-to-earth. Incidentally, I recently visited St. Gertrude's Priory (Dominican) in Cincinnati and during the Prayer of the Faithful, one of the friars prayed for Fr. Joe by name.

25. 11/11 - priest - Thank you for copy of Fr. Joe's Homilies and for your prayers and apostolate. I am a 84 year old priest who still supplies at three Indian Missions. Three Sisters also serve there.

26. 11/11 - priest - The enclosed check is for the recent copy of "Reflect on the Word". I recently received and to cover the cost of the order I am placing for a priest I know in Tennessee.

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

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

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." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

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. Carter from the newsletter $10
