From Blue Book 7

April 6, 1995

Oh Death Where is your Sting?

R. See His glorified body, glistening, oh death where
    is your sting.

Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He has risen as prophets foretold.

Sing: I Am the Bread of Life

Sing: New Life

R. Think of the mystery that Christ rose triumphant from
    death.

sufferings
mystery
Emmaus
power to forgive sins and baptize
immortal

Not a Prisoner — He Rises from the Dead
'Thou Hast Broken My Bonds'

Physical Life Lazarus — raised from the dead

Joy has been purchased through deepest suffering

   

Luke 24: 26

Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer before entering into his glory?’

  

R. Through sorrow and pain — we trace His bloody footprints.

Mortal sin is death — it is a fatal tomb — the enemy does all he can
    to keep the soul locked in the tomb.

At the sound of His voice let us rise from sin.

Dying and Rising in Him —

Ascension

Mission — by the Father — uniquely created
goes to prepare a place for us; This is His promise
opens the gates of heaven, souls held in captivity are released.

Mission

Peace

Jesus remains with us
Mary is the Mother of the Church
We are on a spiritual journey

Jesus opened the gates of heaven
Mystery
Why do you look for the living among the dead?
 

 

March 5, 1995 - Fr. Carter's Mass

Overwhelmed with the Father's love

R. God loves us no matter how I am. He loves
us unconditionally. In all of our faults
and all of our failings in His great
goodness Jesus loves us.

Jesus: I give to you My child, My abundant
life. I outpour to you My abundant
grace. I draw you ever closer to My
beating Heart. Do not ever be bowed
down. Know the immensity of the
Father's love for you. He so loved this
world that He gave His only Son for
love of you.

R. To realize that the Father loved
me so much He sent His only Son
into this world to free me from
my Sins, so I would be with Him
forever in heaven.

    The Father loved me so much
He sent His Son as a Sacrifice and
Jesus took on human form.

    I realize so immensely the love
of the Father, manifest in His
Son, Jesus Christ.

    If we realize our oneness with God and
His great love, we cannot help but realize
our oneness with one another. If I am
one with Him, if I realize His immense
love, I don't have to worry what others think,
I am to love them. I see them
as my brother who I love and want
to give love to. I see more with the eyes
of God, with kindness and compassion and
love, of being united out of love.

    Bathe me in Your love; fill me and saturate
me so I am bursting with Your light — Your life
in me. Let this love of God radiate to all and
unite us forever deeply in the love of our
beloved Father. For we truly are little
children, we are brothers and sisters
and He is our Father, Mary is our most
loving Mother, Jesus is my most
intimate Spouse and the Holy Spirit
my dearest friend.

    Realizing the love of the Father creates
such oneness with one another. We are filled
with His love. He loves us unconditionally.
I am one with everyone in the room.
My Father created each soul, Jesus
redeemed each soul. I am one with
them. As members of the Body of Christ
we are one.

I am one in Him, I cannot have division
    with one man and be united to Him.
    To unite to Him more deeply I must
    be one with them.

The Father so loved me He gave His only
    Son. If I realize this, I want to love
    everyone.

The more I become one in Him, I love
    every man.

 

April 6, 1995

Gifts I Give

Jesus: My dear child,

    Listen and you will be taught. I am
using you for a great mission to teach
My apostles. Great gifts I am giving
to you, My dear heart. As you are in
your heart, you will be to others.
Purity is the key, I will see to the
third Blue Book, I will see to all
that is happening to you. You must
surrender totally and let Me work
in you.

    Pray to the Spirit to sanctify your
heart. Your heart needs to be so pure.
I am Jesus, I will mold you and shape
you into My special saint.

    I love you so dearly, My Rita,
I love you, I love you, I love you.
Remember, the Father loved you so
much He gave His only Son so you
would have life.

    I love you, My beloved.

Joyful Mystery Meditations

Annunciation

R. Each pregnant woman has such a glow.
Think of the life of Jesus growing in Mary's
womb. God's presence within Mary as she
carried the child. Mary is the Mother of God.

Jesus: Are you willing to suffer what they did
to Me for love of Me? You offer yourself —
see Me fall under My cross, see Me
hang to My death, see Me, My hands
nailed to the cross, this is what the
world will do to you for loving
God. Are you willing to walk the
walk of ridicule and persecution
for My Name's sake?

R. Lord, I will do as the Father desires
me to do. I want only to be united closer
to Thee.

Last night saw a
    ball around the moon, I cried.
    Felt the great love of my Father, as
    a little, little child. I am His.
    This is my family: Father, Mother,
    Jesus and Holy Spirit.

 

Visitation

    Think of Mary so beautiful to carry
the child Jesus in her womb.

    See John in Elizabeth's womb.
Jesus grew inside Mary. John was
born.

    Prepare you a way for the coming
of the Savior, for He has come to
this world to shed His light.

    You are the light of the world, a city
set on a hill will shine to the world.

 

Birth of Jesus

Luke 2: 4-7

So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea ... in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first–born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living–space.

Sing: Silent Night

 

Presentation

 Luke 2: 33-34

As the child’s father and mother were wondering at the things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed—

Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet

 

Finding in the Temple

Excerpt from Mother at Our Side - God's Will—Our Guiding Principle

The scene reminds us of the guiding principle of Jesus' life—loving conformity to His Father's will. Although Mary and Joseph were returning home, in some way Jesus knew He was supposed to remain in the temple at this particular time. His course of action was no different in this instance than it had been in the past and would be in the future. His Father's will was made manifest, and He obeyed; His Father showed the way, and He followed. The Father's will was always Jesus' way, every day, in all matters. As followers of Jesus, His guiding principle must also be ours.

 

 

April 6, 1995 - Letter to Fr. Carter

Jesus: Dear Fr. Carter,

    My dear priest-son, you need to
help her circulate these letters on the
Eucharist to the priest. I am writing
letters to My beloved priest-sons of
My great love for them. Priests
need to know how I love them. When
they are filled with My love they
will preach about My love to others.

Please read the message January 22, 1995.

R. Jesus withstood the Passion, Jesus knew
    always the Father's love.

God so loved this world, He sent His only
    Son into this world for love of
    me so I would be with Him
    forever in heaven.

 

April 6, 1995

Beyond Signs and Wonders

Jesus: I am drawing souls to Me that will love Me deeply
    in their hearts, not the sign and wonder people.

This is your suffering to be neglected, ignored,
    to know God deeply in your heart. Remember how
    I have tested you and tried you in the past.

These messages are not for the signs and wonder,
    they are for My apostles that will spread
    My love deep in their hearts.

Interior union, I crave deep union, to be
    so one with each person, so they can
    say as St. Paul

 

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

 

Jesus: Stop what you are doing in your busy lives,
    be alone with Me.

I am truly present.

 

April 8, 1995 - Saturday

When I Worry, I have taken my Focus off of Him

Jesus: Do not worry what others think, live only to please Me.

R. Last night the organ would not work, there were about 1000 people
at the Center, the mike didn't work, when I played from the
Day you Were Born, it sounded as if I had my hands on the
wrong keys. What lengths I feel I have to explain myself.
All I have to do is to try to please Him, to act in the Father's
will with love. He is teaching me to not worry what others
think, just live to please Him. I would rather do anything
then offend Him.

    I am not perfect, others are not perfect, always love.
Model your life after Him. I must try to imitate Him in
my actions. I see more and more that I must live to please
Him and not worry what others think. When I am worrying
about what they think, I have taken my focus off of Him.

 

April 8, 1995

Our Mission Given by the Father, we live under Mary's Mantle

R. Mary is the new Eve, Mary is our model.

Mary cooperates with the Holy Spirit in forming Christ in us.

We live our life of Baptism, our life of grace
    by continually dying and rising in Jesus,
    rising to a greater share in Christ's
    resurrection.

Mission - sent here by God the Father.

Mary cooperates with the Holy Spirit in forming
    Christ in us.

Mary is all pure, all holy, the new Eve.
Mary keeps us under her mantle to help us to accomplish our mission.
We accomplish our mission under her mantle.

Acting under Mary's mantle as the Father wills

Our mission: to help renew the priests, the Church and the world.

My Mission given by the Father
    my gifts, my talents —
    Judged on how I did my mission with love —
        not on what I lacked.

Mary cooperates with the Holy Spirit to make us more
    like Christ. She protects us under her
    mantle.

 

April 8, 1995

The Holy Family

R. Joseph - humility and reverence

Simple, fervent, adoration

Lay at your feet, charity, love.
live to have a pure heart.

At Jesus' birth the
beasts adored Him - warmed by their breath
unite my poor love with Thy infinite love.

 

Nativity - put aside pride and haughtiness.

Goods are not the most important.

Tame my rebellion flesh.

Simplicity - Hidden Life

 

LOVE

 

} Cold Night - deep December
Poverty
Hidden
Simplicity

My impure eyes could never have born the brightness of
    His glory.

Be there at the stable - breathe the cold air — touch
    the baby, hear the angels sing.

No Lights - No Heat, No Frills, No House,
    Bare Essentials

Jesus is Master of All the World!

    My heart is charmed by earthly things.

Jesus suffered from the beginning.

Joyful Mystery Meditation

Annunciation

Hypostatic union

    Adam sinned — Jesus comes to redeem
        us. He is the new Adam.
        He is our Savior.

Sing: A Song from Jesus

Visitation

Manifest Himself in the womb.
    goes to His precursor
    John is touched in the womb by the grace of God.

    Even in the womb, John declares the glory of
        Jesus.

    See Mary go to Elizabeth — John jumps in
        Elizabeth's womb.

    Call to purification.

    We are given a sharing in His life at baptism.

Dear God help us to be sensitive to the touch of Your grace.

Jesus at the Visitation was hidden in mother's womb — Now Jesus is
hidden in the tabernacle, under the appearance of bread and wine.

He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks
'Behold I stand at the door and knock'
    Every grace a visit from Jesus.

Dear God,
    Clothe our souls in virtue for You, our Bridegroom, the Bridegroom of our soul.
    John jumped in the womb of Elizabeth - hidden!!

    Many treat Jesus with indifference and coldness.

Dear God we adore
    Thy holy presence under the veil.

  
 

Nativity

    The angel appeared to the shepherds — they were filled with
    fear. And there was brightness all around them.

        For this day is born to you a Savior,
            who is Christ the Lord.
        And suddenly there was with the Angel
            a multitude of the heavenly host,
            praising God and saying.   (Luke 2:11,13 )

        Glory to God in the highest, and on
            earth peace to men of good will.   (Luke 2:14)

        This day is born to you a Savior.    (Luke 2:11)

    Jesus shared with the animals in a cave.

        'You shall find an infant wrapped in swaddling
            clothes and laid in a manger'   (Luke 2:12)

        An infant is helpless, little weak cries,
            softens our hearts
        not as of a royal house, not clothed in gold.

    Jesus is approachable - with confidence and love.

 

  

Presentation

The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary

1.  The Prophecy of Simeon.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

2.  The Flight into Egypt.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

3.  The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

4.  Jesus and Mary Meet on the Way to the Cross.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

5.  Jesus Dies on the Cross.   Jesus:  Spread My Love throughout this world. As I watch you each day, I watch you this second. I am watching you this very minute. I am asking you to spread My love throughout this world to the hurting souls that need to know this love. Souls will be lost because they did not know My love. Souls will be lost. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

6.  Mary receives the lifeless body of her Beloved Son in her arms.  R. After He was taken down from the cross. This is the call - dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

  

R. The love that They have for each one of us - that Jesus truly died and gave the last drop of His Blood and that Mary His Loving Mother, suffered such immense suffering. Our hearts will never know how her heart was torn in her chest. She bore no wounds, but her heart, how it suffered! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

7.  The Burial of Jesus.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

 

 

Finding in the Temple

Excerpt from Mother at Our Side - God's Will—Our Guiding Principle

This event in Christ's life also demonstrates that conformity to God's will sometimes brings hurt or sorrow to loved ones. Jesus knew that His remaining behind would cause suffering for Mary and Joseph—we can well imagine their anxiety. Jesus was sorry this had to be. He certainly was not insensitive to His parent's feelings, yet He had to do what He did. There can be similar situations in our own lives. Precisely because we are striving to seek out and do God's will, we may be causing hurt to loved ones. We know, however, there is no other course of action if we are to be open to God's designs for us.

   
 

R. In baptism we receive a sharing in His life —
    we become children of God and heirs of heaven.


Resurrection

Jesus is the new Adam
We want to be one with Him.
In baptism we share in His life —
We want to remain in the state of grace —

 

Through Him, With Him, In Him

  

R. We want to be purified — transformed more and more into His
    image and likeness.

Recognize the dignity — that God gives
    us a sharing in His life in baptism.

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

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 - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

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 - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

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

$ 10.00  plus postage

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

His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
