December 18th Holy Spirit Novena Scripture selection is Day 9 Period I.

The Novena Rosary Mysteries for December 18th are Sorrowful.

Pray for Bob & special 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.

R. December 17, 1996 Mary
appeared in Clearwater
27 years ago.

R. 33 years ago I received a
vision of Jesus’ Sacred Heart.

Here is what happened.

December 17, 1991

R. On December 17, 1991, I saw a vision of  Jesus’ Heart on fire after communion. He said – I didn’t know how this Heart would lead people to His Sacred Heart.

 

December 17, 1991

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

R. The vision of Jesus’ Heart on fire I had in the same pew at All Saints Church, December 17, 1991. The heart that is on the Second Blue Book. March 26, 1996, I had in the same pew on the other end of the pew toward the center aisle, the first pew on the right side of the church as I faced the altar.

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters – to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

“Open your heart to the fire of God’s love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love.” end

 

R. Come to me Lord and
possess my soul

Come into my heart and
permeate my soul.

I understand more how sins
were heaped on Jesus’ back.

Jesus carried the sins of all
on His back.

He is the innocent Lamb,
led to the slaughter.

I see Jesus persecuted and
standing trial and they
released Barabbas and treated
Jesus, the Son of God as a
criminal they crucified to death.

R. The birds still chirp even
when we struggle or suffer.
They remind us how God is
there, even in the trial they
seem to say.

We can hear the rain, see the
sun come up, it can remind
us we are not home yet.

Jesus died and rose on the
third day.
Jesus rose victorious from
the tomb.

Life is short here.
Jesus only lived 33 years
on earth.

Jesus rose from the dead and
ascended into heaven.

God the Father created us in
love,
We are on earth a short time,
then God wants us to go to
our true home in heaven,
forever.

I saw Jesus’ Sacred Heart 33
years ago at All Saints,
That was the entire length of
Jesus life on earth.

Jesus has told me for 33 years
about the love of His Sacred
Heart, His entire life span.
He has given us the
consecrations for home and
family and personal
consecrations to His Sacred
Heart.

Today is the day the Lord
has made, we must rejoice
in it, in struggles and joy,

Jesus is with us now, always.

Jesus is our Savior, our
Redeemer, our Bridegroom
of our soul.
 

July 9, 2021 (excerpt)

Jesus: Put your weight on My
                shoulder and let Me be
                one in that burden. I am
                God child.

                    One man set out on a journey
                and He had so much weight
                on his way. He said in an
                angry voice, I need no one,
                I can go alone. So he tensed
                himself up and pushed himself
                and soon he fell under
                the weight and his body
                was wounded deeply from
                his abuse to himself.

                    How many letters do I
                write you to tell you,
                child I am here in your
                burdens and I walk with
                you, I carry that load with
                you, I am Divine. 

                Jesus: A little bird play sweetly
                on a branch and posed in
                his basking sun. In the
                morning he sang sweet
                songs and the rest of the
                day looked beautiful and
                refreshed so you could gaze
                on his beauty and watch
                how he was cared for.

                    Oh little child, are you
                not more precious than
                a tiny yellow bird.

                    Oh My sweet one – breathe
                in Jesus and out tension –
                let go to Me. I am with you.
                I never give you more than
                you can handle.

                I give you Myself in the
                Eucharist – truly present –
                Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
                Love is giving oneself for
                the good of the other. Loving
                God and choosing to be all
                God called you to be with
                obedience to God's will and
                love in your heart. I am
                there in the most difficult
                struggle.

                    You never relieve your own
                pain by wounding others –
                darkness and sin –

                    Turning your back on
                My hand I stretch out
                to you.

                    I am love –

                    I love you –

                    Let go to Me.

                    I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd
                        of the Flock.

                    I am your Savior.

                    I love you so much.  (end)

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11

There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven:

A time for giving birth,
a time for dying;
a time for planting,
a time for uprooting what has been planted.
A time for killing,
a time for healing;
a time for knocking down,
a time for building.
A time for tears,
a time for laughter;
a time for mourning,
a time for dancing.
A time for throwing stones away,
a time for gathering them;
a time for embracing,
a time to refrain from embracing.
A time for searching,
a time for losing;
a time for keeping,
a time for discarding.
A time for tearing,
a time for sewing;
a time for keeping silent,
a time for speaking.
A time for loving,
a time for hating;
a time for war,
a time for peace.

What do people gain from the efforts they make? I contemplate the task that God gives humanity to labour at. All that he does is apt for its time; but although he has given us an awareness of the passage of time, we can grasp neither the beginning nor the end of what God does.

 

Novena to the Infant of Prague
(to be prayed hourly if possible)

          O Jesus, who said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted. 

          O Jesus, who said, "All that you ask of the Father in My Name He will grant you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your Name that my prayer be granted. 

          O Jesus, who said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.

R.  Jesus is with us.
Jesus is truly present in
the Eucharist.

Please increase in us Your
faith and hope.
When we are weak we are
strong in Him.

Jesus was tender and meek
and loving, He showed us
how much He loved us.

Jesus I believe.

My hope is in You, Jesus.
Help us now.
Please my God.

Dear Father, hear my prayer
in the name of Jesus, please
send the Holy Spirit, cast
the devil out, spread the
Blood of Jesus and we
consecrate our hearts to
Jesus and Mary.
We unite these prayers to the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
dear Father help us now. Amen.

 

        Today's Readings

Isaiah 61:1-2, 10-11

 The spirit of Lord Yahweh is on me for Yahweh has anointed me. He has sent me to bring the news to the afflicted, to soothe the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, release to those in prison, to proclaim a year of favour from Yahweh and a day of vengeance for our God, to comfort all who mourn I exult for joy in Yahweh, my soul rejoices in my God, for he has clothed me in garments of salvation, he has wrapped me in a cloak of saving justice, like a bridegroom wearing his garland, like a bride adorned in her jewels. For as the earth sends up its shoots and a garden makes seeds sprout, so Lord Yahweh makes saving justice and praise spring up in the sight of all nations.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

Always be joyful; pray constantly; and for all things give thanks; this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not stifle the Spirit or despise the gift of prophecy with contempt; test everything and hold on to what is good and shun every form of evil. May the God of peace make you perfect and holy; and may your spirit, life and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who has called you is trustworthy and will carry it out.
 

John 1:6-8, 19-28

A man came, sent by God. His name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, so that everyone might believe through him. He was not the light, he was to bear witness to the light.

This was the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, 'Who are you?' He declared, he did not deny but declared, 'I am not the Christ.' So they asked, 'Then are you Elijah?' He replied, 'I am not.' 'Are you the Prophet?' He answered, 'No.' So they said to him, 'Who are you? We must take back an answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?' So he said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied: A voice of one that cries in the desert: Prepare a way for the Lord. Make his paths straight!' Now those who had been sent were Pharisees, and they put this question to him, 'Why are you baptising if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not the Prophet?' John answered them, 'I baptise with water; but standing among you -- unknown to you- is the one who is coming after me; and I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandal.' This happened at Bethany, on the far side of the Jordan, where John was baptising.

Mysteries of Light

The Baptism of Jesus

1. Matthew 3: 13-17

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him. And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’ 

2. God is light and in Him is
    no darkness.
3. The sky was thrown open
    and the voice of the Father
    was heard.
4. “This is My beloved Son in
    whom I am well pleased.”
5. The Holy Spirit was seen in
    the form of a dove.
6. Jesus says: I am the way,
    the truth and the life.
7. Jesus: Life is in Me.
8. Dear Jesus You lived the
    quiet life.
9. This began Jesus’ public life.
10. Jesus showed us the way.

 

The Marriage at Cana

1. John 2: 1-10  

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’  There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’ 

2. Jesus moved ahead with His
    mission.
3. Jesus did not let others block
    the Father’s Plan for Him.
4. Jesus operated in love.
5. Jesus suffered.
6. Jesus is the Light of the world.
7. We should praise and love
    God always in suffering
    and joy.
8. God is there, listen to the
    birds, know God hears
    our prayers.
9. We are never alone.
10. God please help us.

 

Building the Kingdom of God

1 John 18: 36-37

Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’

2. Hear my prayer Lord, I want
    to do Your will.
3. We must keep living in love
    according to His will.
4. Jesus: I am the way, the truth
    and the life.
5. Jesus: Have faith in the Lord.
6. Jesus: Pray for hope.
7. Jesus: Live virtuously.
8. Jesus: Move ahead even in
    tears.
9. Jesus: Love, love, love.
10. Jesus: Forgive and pray for
    your enemies.

 

The Transfiguration

1. Mark 9: 2-8

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

2. Jesus taught us and worked
    miracles.
3. Jesus: I am the way, the truth
    and the life.
4. Jesus: Life is in Me.
5. Envision Jesus’ glorified body.
6. Pray to be one in Jesus
7. Focus on His presence.
8. Rejoice and praise God: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
9. Holy, Holy, Holy Lord.
10. Amen. Thank You God for
    loving me.

 

The Institution of the Eucharist

1. Matthew 26: 26-29

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’

2. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

3. Song: I love you Jesus

4. Song: I am the Bread of Life

5. A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

6. The Mass is the sacrifice
    of Calvary, sacramentally
    made present.
7. Come to me Lord and
    possess my soul.

8. Sing: Your Presence Pervades my Soul

9. Miracles can happen.

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

		Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012) $ 10.00 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. $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
