R. Such a writing from Paul –
so beautiful, so full of joy!
Philippians 1: 4-6, 8-11
and every time I pray for you all, I always pray with joy for your partnership in the gospel from the very first day up to the present. I am quite confident that the One who began a good work in you will go on completing it until the Day of Jesus Christ comes.
For God will testify for me how much I long for you all with the warm longing of Christ Jesus; it is my prayer that your love for one another may grow more and more with the knowledge and complete understanding that will help you to come to true discernment, so that you will be innocent and free of any trace of guilt when the Day of Christ comes, entirely filled with the fruits of uprightness through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.
R. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus.
Jeremiah 33: 14-16
“Look, the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when I shall fulfil the promise of happiness I made to the House of Israel and the House of Judah:
In those days and at that time,
I shall make an upright Branch
grow for David,
who will do what is just and upright
in the country.
In those days Judah will triumph
and Israel live in safety.
And this is the name the city will be called:
Yahweh–is–our–Saving–Justice.”
R. Dear God I love You so much. I pray to You
to lift my soul –
Tell me what You want of me –
Counsel me, oh Holy Spirit
Let me always seek the truth, oh God –
Never give into deception, evasiveness,
broken down debauchery of communication –
let my soul be right,
let my heart be pure,
let me walk in the light,
let the wisdom of the Holy Spirit be in me,
let me fear the Lord as to never want
to offend Him with the slightest sin,
let me be kind and constant in my love
for Thee and others and
not contrary and rebellious, ever, of
God's will for me –
Let me have friendship with God and
others and operate as You operate
in me in love –
Open my heart Lord to You
Open my heart Lord to love as You desire –
Fill me with Your grace –
That I may be a light reflecting Your
presence in me –
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my trust in You
Luke 21: 25-28, 34-36
‘There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; on earth nations in agony, bewildered by the turmoil of the ocean and its waves; men fainting away with terror and fear at what menaces the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand.’
‘Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened by debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will come upon you unexpectedly, like a trap. For it will come down on all those living on the face of the earth. Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to hold your ground before the Son of man.’
R. This is a description of the Second
coming of Christ –
We are to have this in our minds at
all times –
Mark 13: 28-31
‘Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see these things happening: know that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
R. We do not know when the second coming
will be!
Our world as we know it will not
continue forever –
We need to be better prepared for the
end times –
Jesus told of its destruction –
Jesus spoke of wars and tribulation and people
would suffer –
Jesus' return is the key feature of
the end times –
Jesus is our light!
We must be always ready for the end times.
We must be constantly vigilant –
Always ready to meet the Lord –
The Son of Man receives glory and honor –
God has given us this Good News to
deliver Fr. Joe's homilies, the
Blue Books –
Millions of people are suffering and
needing to know God's love –
God has entrusted to us great gifts
about His love and His desire to
be loved by us –
Advent is a time to spread these prayer
chapters and Fr. Joe's book and
the Blue Books with rosaries
about the life of Christ –
The world is hungry –
God has chosen us to spread this –
Jesus: I have given so many graces and blessings
and some insist on walking in darkness –
avenging themselves –
saying: "I have a free will and nobody will
tell me what to do"
Why would a person hold onto opposing God's
will – seeking dominance for dominance
sake – when they are in misery, yet day
after day, their life goes on and they waste
the days of beauty and love they could have
had and continue to live their stilted life.
Beauty is what I give –
I give you life –
I am the author of life –
You lose the beauty of so many days,
I gave to you –
and you cannot live those days again.
It is a choice when one continues in darkness,
manipulating and hating, not telling the
truth and opposing the will of your
Heavenly Father who created you to
love –
These are the days of your lives and there is
so much beauty for you to see when you
see through the eyes of God.
Every day is a gift from Me – to live in the
Light – not the darkness –
I am the light of the world –
I am God
I give life
I am absolute truth –
To seek God – you live your life seeking
truth –
The devil is the father of lies
A person can choose to see only darkness –
A person chooses to shut down many
times, when others are reaching out
to them – with hands outstretched
and in love.
I have put people in your lives in the building
of My Kingdom – to pray with, to love,
to trust, to just be in working on
things to bring hope and love and
joy to the world –
A life of closing down, turning others away,
listening to satan and choosing to
see through dark glasses makes you
miserable because God is light, God
is love, God has commanded you to
love, to open your hearts –
Do you get it –
Every hour, every minute is precious,
I give life – you are to choose
life –
Song: Choose Life
Days can be wasted – the devil wants division,
a person on a pity-pot – telling themselves
they are a victim – a victim life-long –
what non-sense to not live life
and see the gifts I give to you.
I give you life and you are to work on your
relationships – being kind, loving
God and others – learning to give,
but learning to accept –
A person can spend their whole life trying
to break communication and then
cry they are a victim when they shut the
door to others when they come.
Life is for living as I have showed you.
You are to die to your tendencies of pride,
anger, jealousy, envy, slothfulness,
gluttony and lust.
You are to live virtuously – live in the light –
care for the building of My Kingdom –
building a heart of love for the
Christ Child at Christmas –
Christmas is such a gift – I took flesh and
came into the world, your Savior,
so you could be able to go to heaven
some day –
I, the Son of God, took flesh and came
into the world in the womb of a
human person, Mary, conceived
without sin – Mary is the perfect
handmaid of the Lord – I was conceived
in Mary's womb by the power of the
Holy Spirit –
I am the gift given on Christmas –
I am the Child Jesus –
I came in poverty and light –
I came in the darkness to bring you light –
You are so favored –
You are so loved –
Loving is an act of the will
You can choose to love –
You can choose to hate –
Pray for the grace to love and to cooperate
with the gift given –
Thanksgiving is to give thanks to God first –
then to give thanks to others and
to love – to walk in the light –
to open your hearts –
to be so grateful to God for life that
is beautiful –
to pray for the Church and the world –
It is a gift to be alive, to love God, to
have each other, to see through
the eyes of God - the light –
I am God, I am all Good –
I am the Light of the World –
to give witness to the Light –
to live each day united to the Mass – the
sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
made present –
Prepare –
Advent is about preparing –
preparing for Christmas –
Titus 3: 4-7
But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour for humanity were revealed, it was not because of any upright actions we had done ourselves; it was for no reason except his own faithful love that he saved us, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and renewal in the Holy Spirit which he has so generously poured over us through Jesus Christ our Saviour; so that, justified by his grace, we should become heirs in hope of eternal life. This is doctrine that you can rely on.
Luke 2: 15-20
Now it happened that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go to Bethlehem and see this event which the Lord has made known to us.’ So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them. As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.
R. Jesus was born in Bethlehem –
The light shown in the darkness –
Isaiah speaks encouraging words –
words of hope –
Isaiah 9: 2, 6
You have enlarged the nation,
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at harvest time,
as they exult
when they are dividing the spoils.
to extend his dominion
in boundless peace,
over the throne of David
and over his kingdom
to make it secure and sustain it
in fair judgement and integrity.
From this time onwards and for ever,
the jealous love of Yahweh Sabaoth
will do this.
Luke 1: 33
he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’
R. Jesus is priest, prophet and King –
Jesus is our King.
R. We should sing out – God is so good to us –
I will sing of God's goodness and
the Light of the Lord.
We are the bride of Christ –
He has lavished His love on us –
He has given us His Body and Blood –
He comes into our feeble hearts –
Jesus, the Son of Justice –
Song: I Am a God of Justice
Isaiah 62: 1-5
The splendour of Jerusalem
About Zion I will not be silent,
about Jerusalem I shall not rest
until saving justice dawns for her
like a bright light
and her salvation like a blazing torch.
The nations will then see
your saving justice,
and all kings your glory,
and you will be called a new name
which Yahweh's mouth will reveal.
You will be a crown of splendour
in Yahweh's hand,
a princely diadem in the hand of your God.
No more will you be known as 'Forsaken'
or your country be known as 'Desolation';
instead, you will be called
'My Delight is in her'
and your country 'The Wedded';
for Yahweh will take delight in you
and your country will have its wedding.
Like a young man marrying a virgin,
your rebuilder will wed you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride,
so will your God rejoice in you.
Through Him, With Him and In Him
R. Christ the bridegroom of our soul –
We must celebrate what it means to
have Christ – truly present in the
Eucharist – no less present than
the day – He walked the earth –
A people walking in darkness have seen a
great light –
what a gift
China, Indiana – Jesus is truly present in His
Divinity and humanity in the
Exposed Eucharist
What a gift we have
R. Christmas is a time of brotherhood –
of unity, of love, of light –
We see how wonderful it is
to give and to receive –
Jesus gave Himself – we
receive Him with a heart
so grateful –
The Sacred Heart devotion is one in which
we realize God loves us so much
and He desires love from us –
We love each other because Christ loved us so much!
What we do to others, we do to Jesus –
Dear Holy Spirit sanctify our souls, to be pure
and filled with light and love –
help us to grow in faith and love –
help us to prepare for Christmas.
God calls us to do His will
Hebrews 10: 5-10
and that is why he said, on coming into the world:
You wanted no sacrifice or cereal offering,
but you gave me a body.
You took no pleasure in burnt offering'
or sacrifice for sin;
then I said, 'Here I am, I am coming,'
in the scroll of the book it is written of me,
to do your will, God.He says first You did not want what the Law lays down as the things to be offered, that is: the sacrifices, the cereal offerings, the burnt offerings and the sacrifices for sin, and you took no pleasure in them; and then he says: Here I am! I am coming to do your will. He is abolishing the first sort to establish the second. And this will was for us to be made holy by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ made once and for all.
R. Peace is in the heart –
John the Baptist prepared for Jesus.
John told them not to bully anyone –
"Denounce no man falsely"
We must rejoice because Christmas
is coming –
prepare our hearts of love for
Christmas –
Jesus loves us so much –
Jesus is our Savior –
Song: A Song from Jesus
Song: I Love You Jesus
R. Jesus came with a generous heart –
Jesus came our Savior, a baby at
the breast, not a high and
mighty – a baby we could love!
Jesus came not crowned in jewels,
Jesus came in poverty in a stable –
Jesus came to give us love –
Jesus, loved us so much to die
on the cross for our sins –
Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
R. Mary was Immaculately conceived –
We go to her Immaculate Heart - and this is
our spiritual womb –
Mary is the perfect handmaid of the Lord.
Mary was chosen by God. Mary lived perfectly
her vocation. Mary said "yes" –
We have a vocation God called us
to. In living our vocation according
to God's will – we are the happiest!
Mary is our Mother –
Mary is Mother of the Church –
Mary is Queen of Peace
All 5ths -
Our Lady of Clearwater Florida

R. We see Jerusalem in exile and we
see that they were given their
freedom, but they had to rebuild
the tattered land!
God has done so many good things
for all of us. Thank Him and rejoice –
R.
Prepare your hearts as a bed of love
John 15: 5
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.
R.
God is ALL Good
Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your
heart, all your soul, all your being!
Love your neighbor as yourself!
