                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

                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
                    for Jesus at Christmas.

 

 

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
                        ALL Powerful
                        ALL Holy
                        ALL Just
                        ALL Merciful
                        ALL Knowing

                    Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your
                        heart, all your soul, all your being!
                        Love your neighbor as yourself!
