Prayer for Grace for our Country
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 old president as he leaves office and our new president as he takes office.

20th Anniversary of Mary
Don't forget December 17th is the
20th anniversary
of Mary's apparition in Clearwater!
What a gift!
Given November 29, 2016
R. We are hungering for God. We were created
to be satisfied only by Him. We long for
God's grace. We help in the work of redemption.
We live
preparing ourselves for heaven.
1 Corinthians 4: 5
For that reason, do not judge anything before the due time, until the Lord comes; he will bring to light everything that is hidden in darkness and reveal the designs of all hearts. Then everyone will receive from God the appropriate commendation.
R. Our strength, our protection is in God.
Fr. Carter loved this scripture Matthew 7: 21, 24-27.
Matthew 7: 21, 24-27
‘It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven.
Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock. But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!’
R. The scripture of Advent is so beautiful –
We know that the sinners become more
and more blind as they give into
selfishness and malice of intent in hurting
others because of their anger and
jealousy, envy and pride. The evil
of such things are just bad habits
they give into. So much negative
energy for hating their brothers who
did nothing to them.
We see the blindness of a man in
darkness, who can live their whole life
with so much negative energy given to
actions of hatred and God calls
us to love – to help each other – to
be brothers and sisters – to work
with each other and build the Kingdom of God,
the Kingdom of charity, of love, of unity.
The blind who walk in darkness become
blinder and the deaf do not hear the just
authority over them, but plug up their ears
and listen to that voice of darkness that
councils them into division and hatred.
The just man thirsts after God and
unity and peace, and love is his delight.
He thirsts after union and love with
God and others and always has his eyes
on the prize of eternal salvation – knowing
love is shown in the price Christ paid
for our sins. Love is seen in the blood
of Jesus, who died on the cross for man's
jealousies and selfishness. Jesus paid
the price for men who abuse others for
power and control and do not work in
harmony and love with their brother.
Jesus paid the price for the man who
lives in pride and manipulation – living to
get power over innocent others to hurt them.
God gave me this message – the man
of darkness and blindness can have so
much energy for his hateful deeds –
for the isolation he seeks hurting others
for control. This man can hear the voice
of satan that
tells them to be divided
and hate others,
seek power.
How can one call themselves Christian –
which means like Christ and hold onto
anger and punishment toward his
brother, when God calls us to work
together in love and harmony, building
the Kingdom of God together,
working on His work.
A man of love seeks God and the will
of God the Father. God is what they thirst
after. Does it matter if God asks a man
to carry a pebble or a boulder. But
the more a man shuts down in hatred –
the more his ears are deaf, his vision
blind and his heart hard. He is rigid
and disunited to God and others.
God is the Light –
God wants us to love –
God is love.
A man can become so hardened in heart
and frozen – his ears are completely
closed to love, forgiveness, self-examination,
and the unity his heart was made for.
God is Divinely just. Should the
blind man who bases his actions on
anger and envy and jealousy and
darkness, escape the right reasoning
of how much energy he gives to tearing
down the house, rather than building
the Kingdom of God of love, of unity, of
working in problems for the building of love.
The man of darkness can waste time
and days in anger and does not see
how dark is their path of loneliness
and ill-deeds against the person God
has called him to love and work with.
The man with the hard, rigid heart has no
compassion for his brother – he can close
down his heart made for love and heap
day after day in the darkness of
competition and anger at his brother.
He does not even see his divided, cold
heart and selfishness which leads
to disunity with men.
If a man never works, or loves,
or unites with anyone, offering
understanding and compassion and love –
he can become like a hard wall – reaching
only to hurt others and grow in greater
darkness, blindness and deafness.
We see Jesus in healing driving out
demons, Jesus healing the blind and
deaf and crippled and paralyzed.
This man is living his life – day
after day with his goal that is opposed
to God the Father's plan of building
greater unity and love. This man is
becoming crippled spiritually more and
more every day. He is becoming
paralyzed spiritually. Jesus says who can
reach
such a shut down, stubborn one who
walks in greater darkness and is overlooking
the goal of all his actions.
Mary and Jesus are our model.
We walk following Jesus. Jesus loved
perfectly the Father's will –
who loved others and gave love.
Look at the precious price Christ
paid for our sins.
In this writing from Isaiah we
see the coming of the Age of Peace
and love.
Mary appeared in Clearwater – CLEAR - WATER
to show us purity and unity and love.
The focus of this Movement is love
in our hearts – helping to bring this
Era of Love and Peace - Mary spoke
of at Fatima - the Age of the Two Hearts.
In this age of love of the Two Hearts
men will live loving the Father's will
and living in love. There will be joy
and peace in their hearts – unity
deeply in God. They will live in love
the Father's will. They will work
in love on problems and
difficulties – being united to hear the
voice of the Good Shepherd and
to follow Him.
The man of God is concerned with
purity and love – on working with
others in the building of God's Kingdom.
He sees his brother as his brother
and sees Christ in them and in
love, works with those God has
asked him to work with to do the
job He gave them – the building of
the Kingdom of love.
Isaiah 29: 17-24 Is it not true that in a very
short time
the Lebanon
will become productive ground,
so productive you might take it
for a forest?
That day the deaf
will hear the words of the book
and, delivered from shadow and darkness,
the eyes of the blind will see.
The lowly will find ever more joy
in Yahweh
and the poorest of people
will delight in the Holy One of Israel;
for the tyrant will be no more,
the scoffer has vanished
and all those on the look–out for evil
have been destroyed:
those who incriminate others
by their words,
those who lay traps for the arbitrator
at the gate
and groundlessly deprive the upright
of fair judgement.
That is why Yahweh,
God of the House of Jacob,
Abraham’s redeemer, says this,
‘No longer shall Jacob be disappointed,
no more shall his face grow pale,
for when he sees his children,
my creatures, home again with him,
he will acknowledge my name as holy,
he will acknowledge
the Holy One of Jacob to be holy
and will hold the God of Israel in awe.
Erring spirits will learn to understand
and murmurers accept instruction.’
R. We have one life to live. We are
here to please God and to help in
the work of redemption. God is
our light and our salvation –
We thirst after God – When God
is for us – who can be against us.
We are either working according to
God's rule of love and forgiveness
and
building His Kingdom
or tearing it down and the man tearing
it down and walking in darkness,
blindness, deafness to God's will –
lives more and more with a hard,
untrusted heart. They are not faithful
to their calling to spread the Good News –
which is God is love – God loves us!
Our lives must be focused
on eternal salvation and dwelling
in the house of the Lord eternally –
His rule is love and forgiveness
and mercy – Only the loving will
inherit heaven – God is love –
There is perfect unity and love in
heaven. We are here to prepare
our hearts for this everlasting
banquet.
We gaze on the loveliness of God.
We wait on the Lord, we adore the Lord,
we obey His precepts to love our
neighbor as ourselves. Love those
God has called us to work with –
the goal is eternal salvation.
Matthew 9: 27-31 As Jesus went on his way two
blind men followed him shouting, ‘Take pity on us, son of
David.’ And when Jesus reached the house the blind men came up
to him and he said to them, ‘Do you believe I can do this?’ They
said, ‘Lord, we do.’ Then he touched their eyes saying,
‘According to your faith, let it be done to you.’ And their
sight returned. Then Jesus sternly warned them, ‘Take care that
no one learns about this.’ But when they had gone away, they
talked about him all over the countryside.
R. God is forgiving when we seek Him
and ask for forgiveness and His
mercy and have a firm purpose of
amendment to sin no more. The hard
of heart
may see
no sin of their own –
they are
blind and fool themselves. They
can be in denial of their wrong doing and
continue their vices growing ever darker
in their evil. God commands us to love
Him with our whole heart, our whole
soul and our whole being and
love our neighbor as ourselves –
Philippians 3: 20-21
"But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the working of the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery."
R. Father we thirst after You –
We seek You and want to live
to help ourselves to reach heaven
and help in the work of redemption –
helping our brothers in getting
to heaven is loving them in
a great way – love is building
the Kingdom of God –
not walking in selfish blindness
with a hard heart –
Dear God, teach us to live by Your
wisdom. Teach us to have the
joy of a generous and loving
heart.
Help us to know more and more
insight into the mystery
of Your love. God loved us even
when we were sinners,
He still loved us – This is love.
Jesus died for our sins.
We work for Christ and the building of
His Kingdom, but we can be so
blind we may miss the splinter
in our eye and be hurting others
to maintain our space and
selfishness. Satan whispers in
the ears, while the deaf man doesn't
hear the voice of Christ telling
us to love and work with the
brothers He puts in our path.
Open our hearts Lord, that we will see
through the eyes of God the Father
and thirst after His will for us. God
the Father, You sent Your Son Jesus,
our Savior, that we could be set free.
We can ignore You and walk in
darkness and blindness and
deafness with a hard heart.
God calls us to cry out and
recognize our sins and ask for
forgiveness. The hard hearts
walk in darkness and do not see
their sins – They sin and bring down
darkness and refuse to see the
hardness and hatred in their hearts.
We see in this scripture how
God listens and helps the man
who asks for forgiveness for their
sins.
Isaiah 30: 19-21, 23-26
Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you when your cry for help rings out;
as soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right or left.He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows they have received."
R. A man who longs for God is a
happy man – he lives to love
God and others and he praises
God because God deserves praise and love.
The selfish man lives in the hard heart
and refuses to give to others, his
energies become that of holding
back love and giving hatred
to his fellow men – It becomes
harder and harder for him to
even see his darkness because
of his sin in his unloving ways.
God heals the broken-hearted and
heals their wounds - when they
come to Him in humility and
truth and love –
God knows – God is all knowing –
God is Divinely Just –
God gives forgiveness and mercy
to those who come with
a penitent heart and
ask to be forgiven –
The hard of heart He thwarts as they
bring hatred down on the just man.
Matthew 9: 35
Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and all kinds of illness.
Matthew 10: 1, 6-8
He summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to drive them out and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of illness.
go instead to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those suffering from virulent skin–diseases, drive out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.
R. God is merciful to the man who
comes in humility asking
for forgiveness of their sins
and sorry for what they have
done to bring hatred and
anger on others.
Sin is selfishness.
Sin is putting oneself before God.
Christmas is the birthday of our Savior.
Jesus: The proud and angry that
punish and hate and refuse
to stop it and admit their
error – I spit from My mouth –
Seek virtue and not vice –
Be truthful and come in
humility to ask for forgiveness
for your unloving ways –
Seek mercy and with a heart
contrite and penitent seek
forgiveness for your hard heart
and unloving ways, for deception
where you added lies to
the world and hurt your brothers –
beg to be forgiven and your
heavenly Father who is
merciful will see your
sincerity. Desire to make amends and
ask forgiveness for your sins. I give you
the Mass to ask to be forgiven of your
venial sins, I give you confession
for your mortal sins –
You were created in My image
and likeness – I am love –
live a life of love, of virtue,
of truth – to witness to the
truth before men and live
as your heavenly Father intended
you to live – in love and joy
in Him. Unite yourselves more
and more to Me – dwell in My Heart
and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and
give you His gifts to live according
to the Father's will in love. I am
God, I am love. Live with a
humble, truthful heart. Seek
to live the will of My heavenly Father.
Dear God, free us from our sins, help
us to be holy.
The incarnation goes on in us.
In Isaiah we see the return
the captivity.
Isaiah 35: 1-10
Let the desert and the dry lands
be glad,
let the wasteland rejoice and bloom;
like the asphodel, let it burst into flower,
let it rejoice and sing for joy.
The glory of Lebanon is bestowed on it,
the splendour of Carmel and Sharon;
then they will see the glory of Yahweh,
the splendour of our God.
Strengthen all weary hands,
steady all trembling knees
and say to the faint–hearted,
‘Be strong! Do not be afraid.
Here is your God,
vengeance is coming,
divine retribution;
he is coming to save you.’
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,
the ears of the deaf unsealed,
then the lame will leap like a deer
and the tongue of the dumb sing for joy;
for water will gush in the desert
and streams in the wastelands,
the parched ground will become a marsh
and the thirsty land springs of water;
the lairs where the jackals used to live
will become plots of reed and papyrus.And through it will run a road for them
and a highway
which will be called the Sacred Way;
the unclean will not be allowed to use it;
He will be the one to use this road,
the fool will not stray along it.
No lion will be there,
no ferocious beast set foot on it,
nothing of the sort be found;
it will be used by the redeemed.
For those whom Yahweh has ransomed
will return,
they will come to Zion shouting for joy,
their heads crowned with joy unending;
rejoicing and gladness will escort them
and sorrow and sighing will take flight.
Sing: Save Us Oh Lord
R. Jesus healed the crippled –
Jesus healed the blind, the deaf,
Jesus forgave sins; Jesus restored
the suffering to health and joy.
We are to imitate Christ. We see
the suffering Jesus. We know that
we have joy from being united
to Christ, but we suffer in the
perils of this life. God wants
us to come and to be delivered
from the captivity of sin in
our lives. We have a free will –
we can have a hard, prideful heart
or we can walk in the truth and
ask God to help us to be holy
and forgive our sins.
Jesus is the Good Shepherd –
He leads us, but if we do not
listen to His voice, we will
not hear what He says. God
gives us strength to fight off
temptation, but we must seek Him
and want the Father's will.
There will be an Era of Peace –
Mary said at Fatima
Excerpt from
The Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. July 13, 1917
But in the end, my Immaculate Heart
will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be
converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.
(13) 13. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly
indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's
Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and
Publishers, Inc., 1983).
R. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is to
help bring this Era of the Two Hearts
of Greatest Love:
Spreading prayer chapters,
The Priestly Writing
Prayers, Blue Books, Mass Books,
Rosary Books, Apostles of the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.
7 levels of commitment of the Shepherds
of Christ There are Associates
who gather and pray at least once monthly as a group and also help
with donations to support the Shepherds of Christ priestly
newsletter. They can be tremendously involved. They give as they
feel they are able. Apostles are
members who have restricted their apostolic activity to the
Shepherds of Christ. They literally act as a body of lay people who
have given their lives in their present living situation to do all
that they can to bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and
triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. Prayer Apostles
are often shut-ins, some are able to go to church and pray. They
spend much of their lives praying for the Movement. Apostles of the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus are those who spend at least two
separate hours weekly before the Blessed Sacrament praying for the
following: For the spread of
the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the
reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate
Heart. For the Pope. For all bishops of
the world. For all priests. For all sisters and
brothers in the religious life. For all members of
the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this
Movement to the world. For all members of
the Catholic Church. For all members of
the human family. For all souls in
purgatory. In that hour before the
Eucharist they spend part of the time praying the Shepherds of
Christ prayers and the rosary. The time can be spent with spouse or
others, but most spend the time alone before the Eucharist. Handmaids of the Good
Shepherd are young and older women who have given their lives in
community primarily to pray for the Shepherds of Christ Movement and
intentions and to be special spouses of Jesus. Some have more duties
than others. All have the primary duty of prayer and the desire to
be a special spouse of Our Lord. One of the functions of the
handmaids is their involvement in praying for and helping to
circulate the priestly newsletter. The handmaids are not members of
a religious order. Servants of the Good
Shepherd are men who live in community with a lifestyle and
purpose similar to that of the handmaids. The servants are not
members of a religious order. We wish to form a
special congregation of priests who will realize their great
oneness with Christ. They will be consecrated deeply to the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary and support the Shepherds of Christ Movement as
holy priests.
Sing: Prepare in the Wilderness
a Highway for Our Lord
1 Corinthians 4: 5
For that reason, do not judge anything before the due time, until the Lord comes; he will bring to light everything that is hidden in darkness and reveal the designs of all hearts. Then everyone will receive from God the appropriate commendation.
R. God is all powerful –
We must go to Him and seek
healing for our weaknesses.
We must grow in love –
We ask God to help us be instruments to
build this Era of Love.

Cling to Me
May 13, 1993
Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

Seek True Treasures
February 17, 1994 5:30 a.m.
Jesus: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.
I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future.
You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going?
The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.
Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops together make up your pass into My kingdom.
You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with life–one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people's lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday's forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go of each moment, only to become forgotten by today.
Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you choose to serve Me and spread My love!
If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess. What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all the power. Other power is false power!
Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you never return to finish what you deemed so important.
Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate with Me in your soul. Look for the unseen world that surrounds you constantly. Die to yourself.
You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul. Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today's moments, yesterday's forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so important?
Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the moment after you live it.
Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn't stop giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday's forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love you gave, from now to the end.
Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one another. Too simple, too hard for many.
Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up your moments forever lest they become yesterday's forgotten treasure.
Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.

We are the child of God –
God is Our Father –
We know some things
but God wants to reveal
to us – insight into His
Divine Mysteries –
Only the proud lives
their lives saying
"I know it all"
Those who are humble
know we are here
to learn and
cherish knowing about
God –
The devil wants a man to
say –
Don't tell me nothing,
I know it all –
Wise men knew they had
more to learn and
came in humility –
Honoring God-Made-Man
Excerpts from Blue Book 17
Excerpt from the Rosary of December 9, 1997 from the Rosary of May 13, 1997
Jesus:
Open wide your hearts, My beloved ones, for I am with you in a special way on this day. There are many changes that are occurring in your lives. You must let go and surrender for I am separating the sheep from the goats and you will be a strong body. You will be a body joined in one mind and one heart to help carry the light into the darkness. Do not be afraid for I am here and My Mother is here in a special way. I will guard you.
December 14, 1997 Sunday - Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection of Jesus from the Dead
Jesus:
I am alive and I come to you, My beloved Shepherds, that you will go out into the world and wake them from a dark sleep. For many have fallen asleep and they do not even know that they walk in darkness. The light will steal across the sky and as the sun comes up in the morning, so too their hearts will be alive with My Word planted deeply within them. Hold tight for I am sending you into the wolves. And you may be afraid but know that I am with you. I am the Word. I am the Almighty God. It is through Me that you will know God most intimately in your hearts.
The Ascension
2. Jesus: Lift your voice high, oh Jerusalem, for I am your God and I come to you and I speak to you. I speak to you this day to waken those that are in darkness, that have fallen asleep, that do not know that God is alive.
6. Jesus: I am alive. I am alive. I am alive and I will live in you. Give yourselves to Me.
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven
5. Jesus: No longer should you wear a ball and chain around your ankle, but you must be filled in your hearts with the fluttering of the Spirit alive within you. I am telling you at this time that you must call upon the Holy Spirit and ask Him to come upon you in a strong way that you will live in Him. And as you live, you live with the fluttering of the Spirit alive within your heart and your soul.
The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
Jesus:
My beloved ones, I come to you this day for you are the Father’s holy family and I give to you great gifts that you will love Me, that you will come to Me, that you will spend time and tell Me of your love. For I love you with a special love and I long to hear these words from your lips. I long. I long and I wait. The Father loves you with the greatest love and the Holy Spirit, and They wish that you will communicate this love to Them. I am God. Come to Me. Come to Me. Come to Me, My sweet and faithful chosen ones.Song:
A Song from Jesus - refrainJesus:
I long to hear the words from your mouth that you love Me, to ask you to sing this song, I love you Jesus.Song:
I Love You Jesus
December 21, 1997 - Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
Jesus:
And so I say to you, My shepherds, will you go into the field as I walk in your shoes, talk with your lips, as I spread My Light and My love to the people of this earth? But the serpent is cunning. He was in the garden and he tricked the woman, Eve. He is most cunning and skillful for he aims to stop you in your path. The path must be the one that you follow that leads to My Heart. Many children will follow your lead. They will know the love of God, and be forever with Me in the Kingdom of Heaven.

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. $15 |
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 — 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 — 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 — 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 |

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 |
