December 21st Holy Spirit Novena Scripture selection is Day 3 Period II.

The Novena Rosary Mysteries for December 21st are Luminous.

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. It is a journey, some
journey’s long, some short.
It is a journey.
God put us here on this
earth, we are to prepare,
to be cleansed, to be one in
the Father’s will.
We will one day go to our
true home in heaven if we
follow what God wants.
We are created in the image
and likeness of God. Jesus,
our brother, came to earth
to teach us and show us the
way.
We have a free will to grow,
to love, to be formed more
and more as God wants us
to be.
God gives us a free will to
choose to serve Him, obey
Him and love Him.

We are a work in progress.
Jesus loves us so much, He
died for us.

Sing: A Song from Jesus

Jesus says: I am the way,
the truth and the life. Life
is in Me.

R. I keep trying to meditate
how God the Father loves
us fondly as His little child.
Being in the family of the
Father. Being obedient little
children and knowing our
Father’s Fatherly love for us.

We pray for each other and
send love in those prayers.
We are united in our hearts
without being with each other.
We are united spiritually in
the Holy Spirit.

Give thanks to God.
Think of Mary’s love of
God’s will.
Mary said “yes”.

For nothing is impossible
with God.
Mary said: "I am the
handmaid of the Lord."

Sing: I am the Bread of Life
Sing: Like a Shepherd

Jesus was surrounded by
little sheep at birth.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd.

R. Lamb of God you take
away the sins of the world,
grant us peace.

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, life.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

 

Jesus: I watched you child!
I never left your side.
When you struggled, I was
with you.
I did not remove the
struggle so you could be
closer to Me, learn the lesson
you needed.

Mary:
I stood beneath the cross
and I cried for my little
children who could lose
their soul.
Help me reach my children.
Pray the Rosary.
Consecrate your hearts to
our Two Hearts

 

December 19, 2023

R. We have a Heavenly
Father that loves us so much.

Think of all God has given us.

It is His due we love Him.
God wants a Father-child
loving relationship with Him.

“How shall I make a return
to the Lord for all He has
done for me?”

John 3:16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

R. Integrity, honesty, we must
do what is right before the Lord.
We are witnesses, that we live
by God’s will.

What does our word mean
before others and our God.
Some day we will stand
before God and be judged.
Lo to the man who was
taught and was covering
up their behavior that was
evil, deceiving before God
and others.

It’s a big thing to have a
true heart and be in unity
with Jesus.
God does not deceive, nor
can he be deceived.

Integrity before God and
others.

When someone does wrong,
and they attack the one
correcting them, or punish
them further, they are really
hating themselves.

Lies, deception, anger,
jealousy, envy hurts those
doing it.

We were meant to be pure
and truthful like Jesus.

We see St. Joseph and how
beloved and how he
protected Jesus and Mary.
God the Father is our Father
and loves us more than any
earthly father.
 

Matthew 5: 48

...You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.’

R. Look at St, Joseph how
he protected and taught and
cared for Jesus, as His foster-
father.
Children had a mom and dad.
That is by God’s design.

We are accountable and
responsible for our actions
before God.

It is the will of God. Pray to
the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Love is an act of the will.

God gives us a free will to
love and serve Him.
It is wrong to use our free
will to offend God and others.

God is love.
Jesus was loving to all.
Jesus taught us about love.
Come to me Lord and
possess my soul.

My Love for You

R. Dear Jesus,
I love You very much, please write to me.

Jesus: My dear child, I love you very much, you are My beautiful child, place yourself in My presence and know I am God and I am with you. My hand is upon you this day and I am going with you on your way. I never leave your side, do not worry. Think of Me and My love for you, think of all that I am and how I have all power, no one can have any power over Me. Feel confident in that I will guard you every step you take. Let go, practice trusting in Me when fear
enters your heart, let go, let go of it all, t hat is the only way to Me, to let go, pray the rosary, hold tight to My hand. I have never moved from your side; I am so close to you. Pray to listen to Me and feel Me by your side. I am still here little one, even when others are around, I never ever leave your side, feel My arms around your shoulders, I want you to never be shaken, but to experience My peace. I am with you everywhere, in the beauty parlor, in a crowd, inyour car, when you are talking, feel My hands on your shoulders, they are there. I have My calm hands around you, turn to Me. I am your God, every minute of every day, I am there with you every night. I am there in your anguish and in your joy. Come and put your burden on Me, feel the freedom of turning toward Me. I am here, My hands are upon you, love, spend time being with Me, be, close your eyes and let Me be with you. I love you. Jesus

R. Jesus showed us how He
loved and forgave sinners.

Who is our Master.
Jesus is always to be put first.

Think of what Jesus endured
for love of us.
His blood covered His path
to Calvary.
He gave His all for love of us.
Oh Jesus, help us to endure
our crosses.

Mary watched her Son endure
the bitter passion for love of us.
Jesus was nailed to the cross.
The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally made
present.

Jesus gave us His Mother
from the cross. His last
thoughts were of us.

Angels Will Read the Message

Jesus: Who will read the message? Angels will read the message. I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages.

I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep. Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, "The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?

Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My words of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!

What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening!

I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita's purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.

Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy! People are so busy at the malls. Oh, what foolish ones. I come as a baby into your midst. This is My birthday and whom do you worship? You worship idols! It is all such a sick world. Make ready My path, My little ones. Time is so short and you must not tarry any longer for into your hands I place My words for the world. They are mighty, little ones. Read them! What do you do with these words? Do you want proof? Look at Me hanging on the cross. It is out of this love of you I died a brutal death! Do you think I would not go to this extent to save the souls of My loved ones? Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high!

Get busy, you little people. The angels declare My words are given here. This is My gift to My people-distinct, clear letters proclaiming My love. Are you listening? Do you think I would not try everything to save My beloved ones?

Oh, I will go to any extent to save these little ones, so ornery and so stupid in their ways, so sinful in this evil world, but so precious to Me. I will come in My glory and I want every last soul.

I am God. Why would I not speak to you? I wait for you. I wait, I wait, but you are all so blind and dense. What you do is so silly. Your ways here have become sick and your hearts have become hard. But shout it from the housetops! I loved you to My death! I love you all in your sickness. I want you united under the mantle of My mother, praying and honoring God.

America, turn yourselves around before it is too late. Come and heed My harkening. Come, come, My children. Time is so short and a lot of mending must be done in your hearts. You have hardened them and now they must come back to life. Only I can give you this life in your hearts.

Heed My words here. I am gentle and kind in heart. My heart is a heart of love. I have hand-delivered these messages to My people and you are My delivery boys. Get them going, little ones. You tarry too much.

My gift to My people is My love this Christmas. I am showering all at this Center with grace this season. The devotion there pleases Me, but more must flock and they will be changed from hardened hearts to hearts for God. I am God, little ones. I came and I died a brutal death. I am calling to you all to deliver this now. Make this your top priority so they will hear My message of love and know the love I have for them. Do not tarry. Do this today, little ones.

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

1. Luke 1: 26-38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her. 

2. Pray with a heart of love.
3. Think of Mary and her
    sinless heart of love.

    and try to just get the job
    done.

he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

9. Living in our lives, warm
    love.
10. In baptism we receive
    the supernatural virtues
    of faith, hope and charity.

 

The Visitation

1. Luke 1: 39-45

Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’ 

2. Mary went to visit her
    cousin Elizabeth.
3. Elizabeth was with child
    and Mary carried Jesus in
    her womb.
4. When Mary arrived, the
    child in Elizabeth’s womb
    leapt for joy.
5. This shows the connection
    of John the Baptist and Jesus
    from the beginning.
6. John prepared the way for
    Jesus.
7. Jesus and John were cousins.
    We are brothers in Christ.
8. Love finds a way.

The Nativity

1. Luke 2: 8-14

In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night. An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified, but the angel said, ‘Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words:

    Glory to God in the highest heaven,

2. Envision yourself in
    Bethlehem.
3. Observe the events at hand.
4. Jesus, the Son of God, is
    born in a stable.
5. Jesus is God the Father’s
    gift to us.
6. We give gifts, God gave
    Himself to us.
7. Jesus came to show us the
    way.
8. Mary was so pure, so loving,
    reverent.

9. Isaiah 55:8

    for my thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not my ways, declares Yahweh.

10. September 1, 2023

R. An interior vision:
I saw the stable and Jesus
and little sheep. Jesus was
in the manger. The floor
looked sort of brown like
mud.
They were moving about
and Jesus was in the manger.
It was very barren, except
for the small tiny sheep,
many on the smooth mud-like
floor.
People moving about with
covered heads, rope around waist.

We can be so high and
mighty, think we know it all.
We are here to love and do
God’s will.
We are to grow in humility.

Mary, Jesus & Joseph

    Jesus, the Son of God came
    in dire poverty. end

 

R. Jesus lived the quiet life.

Fr. Carter says:
February 18, 2000
…“again, he teaches us many lessons from this, one of them certainly is, where does true greatness lie? It doesn’t lie in the things which are outside of you, the things which, surround you, it lies within your very depths.”

Fr. Carter continues: “I think all of you here at China give a great witness to life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Nazareth, and to the birthplace of Jesus, in Bethlehem. your life is so simple. It is so hidden, and yet like the life of Jesus at Nazareth, it is meant to be redemptive.
His life certainly was redemptive those first 33 years of his existence. And I think, I said, in a homily to you, some months ago, that, if we had it to plan, we certainly would have arranged, I’m sure all of us, Jesus' life here on earth differently .

“So glory in your existence, here at China, in its hiddenness and ask for the faith to realize more and more the great good you are doing for the movement and the Church and the world.”
…“so your life, here at China, is in such great imitation of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Nazareth and such great Saints as Saint Teresa of Lisieux those saints, who lived such a hidden existence.
So first of all, I thank you for your persevering in this life. How great your life is here at China for the cause of Christ.”
From our founder on a weekday.  From Fr. Carter, SJ

Think of Jesus as a little
boy.
He played.
Joseph showed Him the
Carpenter trade.
 

 

The Carpenter

June 12, 1994

Jesus: You are he who goes to a carpenter to learn to make a cabinet. You know nothing. You do not have any idea of what you are to do. The carpenter knows exactly. He has a procedure whereby his plan will be accomplished. Every detail must be observed. He is the Master. You do not have the talent. You need talent to do woodwork. If you were given the talent and the directions, you could accomplish this task with such beauty.

I am the carpenter. You are he who needs to be taught. You lack the talent. You need the gifts of the Spirit to accomplish My task! You come to Me in total ignorance. You are open, the Spirit fills you with the gifts. You have everything you need to do My work. The Father created you to accomplish His tasks. You are perfect. You must come open. You must know the plan. The plan is His Will for you. If you do not follow the plan, the cabinet will not be built correctly.

I am the Master. I guide you. I love you. I give you all you need. I walk you through every move. If you try on your own, you have a problem. You know not the way to build cabinets. You know not the way to Me on your own. You must come to Me to be taught. To go it alone is to your own detriment.

Oh, little one, it is so simple. You, in your will, want to work your own plans. You know not how to do it. Only I can teach you what you need to know. Oh, please come to Me. I have all you need. The Spirit fills you with the gifts to know, love and serve God. To go it alone is like trying to build the cabinet with no knowledge of woodworking. Oh, little ones, I love you. Come to Me. Let Me teach you. The Will of the Father is the happiness for your life.

I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am God. I, God, long to be with you and teach you. Go not off on your own. Come to Me. I love you so!  end

Joseph was a plain man.
Joseph was chosen for
Foster Father of Jesus.

Jesus was a beautiful little
baby. Joseph protected
Mary and Jesus.
God wants to give us
Omnipotent Love!!
We love Jesus so much.
He gives us Himself.

St. Joseph trusted in providence.

 

The Presentation in the Temple

1. Luke 2: 25-35

Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to the restoration of Israel and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had set eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God; and he said:

    Now, Master, you are letting 
        your servant go in peace 
    as you promised; 
    for my eyes have seen the salvation 
    which you have made ready 
        in the sight of the nations; 
    a light of revelation for the gentiles 
    and glory for your people Israel.

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—and a sword will pierce your soul too — so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'   

2. Mary and Jesus and Joseph
    lived a simple life.

3. February 18, 2000 Homily excerpt

There are so many lives of the saints which
are at witness, to this, hidden life of Jesus. And
the one that usually comes first to my mind, is
that of, St. Therese of Lisieux, who lived that
very, very, very hidden life in the cloistered convent
at Lisieux and only for nine short years.
She entered, as I’m sure you know it, with special
dispensation from the pope. She entered at
15 and died at 24. And the good she accomplished
in those nine years at Carmel, that was
already achieved before she was canonized and
people came to know about her great life of holiness.
But during those nine short years at
Carmel, she was doing so, so, so much, to help
in the salvation of souls.

4. February 18, 2000 continues

And her life was so ordinary, so much so in
its external framework, so much so that I think
it’s, if I remember correctly, her sisters – the
nuns with whom she lived with, in the
Carmelite convent, they were surprised when
her cause for beatification was introduced. And
why was her life so great – because she did the
simplest things, everything with the great depth
of faith and hope and love, those gifts, which
the Holy Spirit showered her with, in tremendous
depth.

5. February 18, 2000 continues

God’s ways are not our ways, nor His
thoughts are not our thoughts. And so contrary
to the way, that so much of the world thinks and
even many in the Church, it puts such great emphasis
on those activities which attract public
attention and acclaim and so forth. We know
that God looks first of all to the depth of love, a
love of His will, the depth of loving conformity
to His will – this is how He measures the success
of a life. The external framework of which that
life is lived as it were as secondary, always secondary
to the depth of faith, hope and love, a
depth of a loving conformity of one’s will to the
Father’s will in Christ, through Christ in the
Spirit with a prayerful assistance of Mary our
Mother. Amen.

6. Holy Family of Nazareth
    pray for us.

7. February 18, 2000 continues

Heavenly Father, I ask your most special
blessings on your specially chosen ones here as
I have just put before them and requesting
them, suggesting to them, to pray for an increased
light of their greatness here and strength
to live by that light. So I ask You Heavenly Father
abundantly, to give them that grace. Give
them great sense of peace and joy here, despite
the trials they have to endure as Your Son
showed us suffering, even deep suffering, is not
contrary to peace in the Lord. Father, let them
know how special they are to You. Bless them
most abundantly now and all the days of their
life. Father, I put this petition before you,
through your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with
the prayerful assistance of Mary our Mother.
Amen.

8. Joseph said “yes” to God.

9. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

10. March 12, 2000 Homily excerpt

"We receive Christ's silence into our hearts
when first we speak from our heart the word of
faith. We work out our salvation in silence and
in hope. Silence is the strength of our interior
life. Silence enters into the very core of our
moral being, so that if we have no silence we
have no morality. Silence enters mysteriously
into the composition of all the virtues, and silence
preserves them from corruption."
 

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. Luke 2: 41-52

Every year his parents used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. When the days of the feast were over and they set off home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. They assumed he was somewhere in the party, and it was only after a day’s journey that they went to look for him among their relations and acquaintances. When they failed to find him they went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere. 

    It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ But they did not understand what he meant. He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.

2. Luke 2:51-52

He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.

3. Mary put all these things in
    her heart.
4. Mary and Joseph were so
    worried about Jesus.
5. Mary and Jesus were one
    in their Hearts.
6. Maybe this reflected what
    Simeon had told her.
7. Mary and Joseph’s hearts
    were in great sorrow.
8. Jesus was obedient to Mary
    and Joseph.
9. Sing: Immaculate Mary

10. Mary’s Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message

		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
