November 29th Holy Spirit Novena Scripture selection is Day 8 Period I.

The Novena Rosary Mysteries for November 29th are Glorious.

Please pray for Fr. Carter's Homily Book.

Pray for Bob, Chuck & other intentions.
 

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.

From the Priestly Newsletter II

From a Spiritual Journal
(by Rita Ring)

    ~ Here is an excerpt from a spiritual journal: "And I opened my heart, but I waited and felt suspended in mid-air for my whole desire was to embrace Him and it felt as if He did not come. I suffered and suffered and wanted only to experience Him with this outpouring of His grace. Then His grace overtook my weary soul and He dwelt in me in this heightened form. The Bridegroom made Himself known to me and then it felt as if this intensity had left, but the lingering memory of this moment when He intimately united Himself to me was implanted forever on my weary soul, as I sit and wait for that day when I will experience the fulfillment of myself existing only in Him. I long to have oneness in the Divine Master, the Bridegroom of my soul. I love you Jesus, come to me, that I may know you most intimately. Embrace my soul and fill me with your gifts. I desire to experience the deepest union with you, my Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, Lamb of God. Through my union with you, My Jesus, I desire to experience the deepest union with the Father in the Holy Spirit."

    And, "I rested my head on the pierced chest of my Savior. I felt His presence and put my head on His pierced wound. I see His side and I experience the wound within my own heart. His Heart was wounded by our sins, and I rest upon this wound.

    "Open up the wound and go into His burning Heart. See the wound opening and enter into the great, red abyss of His fiery love. It is in the wound that I enter.

    "His glorified body has this wound. It is from His pierced Heart that our life flows.

    "The glorified wounds of Christ are my delight. He carried the cross. He bore the pain. He was pierced that we could live in Him!"

 

Song: Your Presence Pervades my Soul

 

God’s Will as Strength of Our Wills

    St. Catherine of Siena, doctor of the Church, gives us these inspiring words on the human will:

I acknowledge, eternal God;
I acknowledge, eternal God, high eternal Trinity,
that you see me and know me.
I have seen this in your light…
I see too
that you saw that perverse law in us
that is always ready to rebel against your will,
and you saw
that we would often follow that law (cf. Rom 7:22-23).
Truly I see
that you saw the weakness of this human nature of ours,
how weak and frail and poor it is.
This is why,
supreme provider
who have provided for your creature in everything,
and best of helpers
who have given us help for every need—
this is why you gave us
the strong citadel of our will
as a partner for this weakness of our flesh.
For our will is so strong
that neither the devil nor any other creature
can conquer it
unless we so choose—
unless free choice,
in whose hand this strength has been put,
consents to it.
O infinite goodness!
Where is the source of such strength
in your creature’s will?
In you,
supreme and eternal strength!
So I see
that our will shares in the strength of yours,
for out of your will
you gave us ours.⁹

9. From The Prayers of Catherine of Siena, Suzanne Noffke, translator, Paulist Press, as found in Catherine of Siena, Mary O’ Driscoll, O.P., editor, New City Press, Prayer 14, pp. 74-76.

    ~ Here are certain stanzas from one of the poems of St. Therese of Lisieux, who has recently been declared to be a doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II:

It’s to you alone Jesus, that I’m attached.
It’s into your arms that I run and hide.
I want to love you like a little child.
I want to fight like a brave warrior.
Like a child full of little attentions,
Lord, I want to overwhelm you with caresses,
And in the field of my apostolate,
Like a warrior I throw myself into the fight!…

Your heart that preserves and restores innocence
Won’t betray my trust!
In you, Lord, rests my hope.
After this exile, I’ll go to see you in Heaven…
When in my heart the storm arises,
To you, Jesus, I lift up my head.
In your merciful look,
I read: "Child, for you I made the Heavens".

I know well, my sighs and tears
are before you, all radiant with charms,
The seraphim in Heaven form your court,
And yet you beg for my love!…

You want my heart, Jesus, I give it to you.
I surrender all my desires to you,
And those whom I love, O my Spouse, my King,
From now on I only want to love them for you.⁷

        7. St. Thèrèse of Lisieux, Poem 36, as in Spiritual Life, Spring 1998.

  

November 27, 2023

Jesus: I am the Light of the world.
I am God, Almighty.
I am love.

Generations of love.
Love is giving for the good of the other.
What you do to others, you do to Jesus.

Love is an act of the will.
So is holding out and unloving acts.

A Family of Love.

God’s family is a family of love.

 

Matthew 12: 46-50

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, ‘Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?’ And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’
 

Sorrowful Mystery

The Agony in the Garden

1. Matthew 26: 36-46

Then Jesus came with them to a plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, 'Stay here while I go over there to pray.' He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish. Then he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.' And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. 'My Father,' he said, 'if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.' He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.' Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: 'My Father,' he said, 'if this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, your will be done!' And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy. Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words. Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest. Look, the hour has come when the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.'

2. What Jesus suffered in
    the Garden, we cannot even
    imagine, He knew everything
    He would suffer, He knew
    all the sins of all men.
3. Jesus said “yes” to pay
    for the suffering for men’s
    sins and many would put
    their sin first in their life,
    before God.
4. Some kept deceiving
    themselves, by sinning and
    refusing to even be sorry.
5. God knows all things, there
    will be a judgement for
    their sins.
6. God loves us and wants
    us to love Him.
7. We are to be sorry when
    we sin and ask God to
    forgive us and have mercy
    on us.
8. Oh Jesus, I am sorry for
    offending You with my sins.
9. Jesus is the King of Kings
    and Lord of Lords.
10. Jesus sweat His Precious
    Blood in the Garden.

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Matthew 27: 24-26

Then Pilate saw that he was making no impression, that in fact a riot was imminent. So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.

2. We have many joys and
    sufferings every day.
3. Look at Jesus being
    beaten at the pillar.
    His hands are tied.
4. The men come with their
    sharp instruments - Jesus is
    a man, they beat Him raw
    for our sins.
5. Some men sin and act like
    they never sin. They are
    deceiving themselves.

6. 1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

7. Mary appeared at Fatima
    and she told us that we are
    offending God with the evil
    in the world.
8. We were created for more.
    Only God can satisfy us.
    We cannot be satisfied here
    below.
9. Jesus gave Fr. Carter these
    Shepherds of Christ Prayers
    to pray for the Priests, the
    Church and the world.
10. In the Our Father it says: …
    “and lead us not into
    temptation, but deliver us
    from evil.”

 

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Matthew 27: 27-31

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.

2. Look how we whine and
    complain about little struggles.
3. Look at the pride, men
    wanting to be first, even
    living in sin to control.
4. Jesus was humble, look at
    Jesus tied to the pillar.
5. Jesus lived on this earth
    where He suffered from the
    sins of those around Him.
6. Jesus called all men in love
    to Himself.
7. Jesus operated in love and
    mercy, but He is Divinely
    Just.
8. Jesus a Divine Person took
    on a human nature.
    Jesus lived among us.
9. Jesus showed us how to
    love, how to treat others,
    how to be more and more
    like Him.
10. Pray for the grace we need
    most, so we can grow more
    and more in His image and
    likeness.

 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. Mark 15: 15-23

So Pilate, anxious to placate the crowd, released Barabbas for them and, after having Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers led him away to the inner part of the palace, that is, the Praetorium, and called the whole cohort together. They dressed him up in purple, twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on him. And they began saluting him, 'Hail, king of the Jews!' They struck his head with a reed and spat on him; and they went down on their knees to do him homage. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the purple and dressed him in his own clothes. They led him out to crucify him.

They enlisted a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means the place of the skull. They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.

2. Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul.
    Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

3. A living example of Jesus,
    we eat His Body and drink
    His Blood in the Eucharist.
4. Jesus gives us a share in
    His life in Baptism.
    We live the Christ-Life.
5. Jesus paid a precious price.
    Jesus suffered for us.
6. We are good stewards,
    helping build the Kingdom
    of God.
7. We are docile, not out
    for our own power and
    glory.
8. We love Him, we praise
    Him, we adore Him.
    God help us give You great
    love. Selfless love.
9. Jesus: I long for My precious
    souls to come to Me.
    Will you offer up your
    sufferings and trials for
    your brothers?
10. And they spit on Jesus,
    they mocked Him, poked
    Him, hit Him when He fell.
    Jesus withstood all this
    treatment for love of us.
    We consecrate ourselves to
    Your most Sacred Heart.

    Song: I love You Jesus

 

The Crucifixion

1. Jesus walked the walk
    with the heavy cross on
    His back, and within His
    Heart was burning love
    for His precious souls.

2. Mark 15: 24-38

Then they crucified him, and shared out his clothing, casting lots to decide what each should get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The inscription giving the charge against him read, ‘The King of the Jews’. And they crucified two bandits with him, one on his right and one on his left.

The passers–by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, ‘Aha! So you would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days! Then save yourself; come down from the cross!’ The chief priests and the scribes mocked him among themselves in the same way with the words, ‘He saved others, he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, for us to see it and believe.’ Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.

When the sixth hour came there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of those who stood by heard this, they said, ‘Listen, he is calling on Elijah.’ Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar and, putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink saying, ‘Wait! And see if Elijah will come to take him down.’ But Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.  

3. To His death on the cross,
    He gave Himself. He always
    did the Father’s will. He’s
    asking us, today, to help in
    the work of redemption, to
    help the souls that are
    suffering, to sacrifice, to
    offer every act that we do
    as a sacrifice to help the
    souls.
4. I see the body of Jesus,
    humped over, withered,
    so frail, and so weak.
    This is the Almighty God:
    all powerful and Almighty
    God.
5. See Jesus hanging on the
    cross. At any moment He
    could have come down
    from the cross.
    Jesus endured all this for
    our sins.
    Jesus endured all this for
    love of us.
6. Oh Jesus I love You so
    much. Help us God, Help
    us do Your will in love.

7. Sing: I Love You Jesus

8. Sing: A Song from Jesus

9. Jesus loves us so much.

    Song: God’s Love

10. Sing: A Priest is a Gift from God

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. $10

		Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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. $10

		Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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. $10

		Guiding Light - Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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. $10
