Little Girls Played With Dolls

R. Christ is the most gentle and most tender of all hearts.

    In today's world we do not see gentleness very often. Little girls always played with soft baby dolls and hugged them. They carried them around and pretended to be mothers. Their desire was to give love to dolls, to others, to be a mother someday and have children.

    Satan slowly came in with his ugly toys. The baby doll was replaced by an ugly doll and children still tried to cuddle it. I remember seeing the cabbage-patch doll and hating it. It did not fit well with my heart.

    From the ugly dolls came "no dolls" at all. Satan drew the hearts of little girls to hard plastic, ugly toys. The desire for nourishing and love was changed to hard toys in which there was not a heartfelt connection.

    The children loved their dolls, they dressed their dolls, they fed their dolls, they learned to love and nourish, they learned to be loving and nourishing, they practiced it with their dolls and with others.

    We played Mass. I loved to go to Holy Communion. We practiced going to Mass and receiving Jesus.

    When I was little I loved my dolls. I dressed them, I fed them, I comforted them when they cried, I pretended to protect them. I was attached in my heart to them. I practiced loving and nourishing with my dolls and with other little girls being mothers to their dolls. We played games that involved our hearts.

    There was a big difference between boys and girls toys. Boys toys involved more logic, more skill - trucks, tools etc. I am not a boy so I didn't play with boy toys. I didn't want to play with them as they did not interest me. I wanted to be a girl. I wanted to love. I wanted to make pies and soup from all the leaves. I loved being a girl. I wanted to be a mother or a sister. I wanted to give love. I never thought of being a business person, or a person in charge of a business. I didn't use a hammer and a drill - the boys did that. My toys were pretty, dainty toys and my heart loved them.

    The shift has slowly changed to hard, ugly, violent, cruel toys. The baby dolls are not very important any more. The girls are not encouraged to be mothers, they are encouraged to be professional and logical.

    I am not saying that women being more professional is wrong. I am saying, to follow the Father's Plan.

    Where are little girls practicing the ways of the heart? Many women's hearts today have turned to equality.

    God gives to us our basic roles. He gives us a built-in heart to love and nurture. We are not encouraging our youth to see the basic differences between men and women.

    If we could go back to 1950 and walk the earth then we would see how different things were.

    I was in church and an elderly couple were holding hands. It made my heart burn. We do not see heartfelt emotion between people, we see everyone as separate. We rarely see people hug and kiss, even in families.

    Jesus told Mary Magdalene not to touch Him as He had not yet gone to the Father. She ran to Him and wanted to embrace Him.

    The world has turned tender affection into sexual affection. It burns my heart to see a child held in someone's arms, to see a daughter and father hold hands, to see a son kiss his mother on the cheeks and tell her he loves her. We are not seeing heartfelt love displayed because some people are not tender and gentle in their hearts.

    Love is rooted in God. Whether married love or love between parents and children, or friend and friend, it is the greatest fulfilling love when the hearts are one with the Hearts of greatest love, Jesus and Mary. It is in studying the relationship between Jesus and Mary, in modeling our lives after Them, that we have hearts of deep love.

    Could you see Mary performing the role that many women do today? Could you see Mary and Jesus watching the filth on television and playing the computer games and Nintendo games of the youth today?

    There is not time for God in the lives of many today. Adam and Eve wanted to be equal to God: they wanted to be in charge. From the sin of the first woman wanting equality and not God's will, we all have a fallen human nature.

    Today many have thrown out the story of Adam and Eve and the devil. They have replaced it with their own theory.

    If we go back to the story of Adam and Eve and the devil and creation, we cannot make up our own story. Man has a fallen human nature because of the sin of Adam and Eve. They gave in to the devil. This is the problem today - equality - doing our own will and giving in to the devil.

    Jesus comes pure and sinless, conceived in the womb of Mary, the only pure and sinless human person. The New Adam and the New Eve. Our roles are defined in Jesus and Mary. Jesus gives the seed, the woman receives and nurtures it.

    Mary is a Mother. She is Queen of Heaven and Earth. Jesus is King. He is the priest; He is the prophet; He is the victim; He is a man. Mary is a woman.

    Mary is Mother of Jesus, the Son of God. The Father gives such honor to a woman and the role of Motherhood by making Mary, Mother of God. She is our model.

    The world has downplayed the greatness of motherhood. The world wants their own way. Remember Adam and Eve disobeyed God. They wanted to be equal to God. They wanted their way. They had great gifts. They were given all they needed. They were prideful.

    The devil tempts us today. He works in pride and control. He does not want us to obey the Father. He wants us to hate Mary for it is through her pure heart we unite to God.

At Tom's Farm

The eyes of God are upon us.
You are My apostles of love.
Let us go to the pure and sinless heart of Mary to Jesus.
Do not give in to satan and division.

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

1. R. Jesus told me to read this, so I had to find this in the Bible.

Genesis 3: 1-15

Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man replied, 'It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'

Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this,

    Accursed be you
    of all animals wild and tame!
    On your belly you will go
    and on dust you will feed
    as long as you live.
    I shall put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    it will bruise your head
    and you will strike its heel.' 

2. R. We see that God gave to Adam and Eve so many gifts. And because Eve wanted to be equal to God, she chose her will over God's will, and Eve sinned. Adam and Eve, the first parents, chose sin. They chose their own will.

3. R. The angel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of God.

4. R. Adam and Eve, our first parents, given such gifts and they sinned. And Jesus came to the world, the Almighty God, sinless, perfect, Almighty, all powerful. The Almighty God came into this world because of His great love for us. Jesus came in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary conceived without sin, Mary pure and sinless, Jesus pure and sinless. The new Adam, the new Eve, for Jesus came, Our Savior.

Song: A Song from Jesus

5. Luke 1: 35

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.

6. R. The pure, the sinless one, Mary conceived without sin - the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary appeared at Fatima. Mary told us she is "The Queen of Peace", that the peace of the world has been entrusted to her, and she gives to us her peace plan. Mary is the pure and sinless one. Jesus appeared to Lucia and told Lucia that He wanted His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. The new Adam, the new Eve, Jesus and Mary. How do we, in all our sinfulness, unite to the Almighty God? How can we go to the very depths of His Heart, for we look at ourselves and we see our sins, and we know that to go to heaven that we must be pure. Dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are our little heaven on earth. How can we go deeply into the Heart of Jesus with our sins? Jesus gives to us His Mother, the pure and the sinless one. It is in going to the heart of Mary, it is in dwelling in the heart of Mary that we go to His Heart in her pure and sinless heart. It is only through Mary's heart that we can have this extra deep, deep union with Him.

7. R. God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary. It is within her womb that His most Sacred Heart was formed through the Holy Spirit. How intimate that the Two Hearts, the Heart of Jesus and the heart of Mary, beat within the body of Mary while she carried Jesus within her womb.

8. R. Let us focus on the purity of Mary. Let us focus on the fact that Jesus gave to us His beloved Mother beneath the cross to be our Mother. Let us go to her heart, to our spiritual womb of the Heart of Mary. We want to know Jesus as Mary knew Jesus within her heart, to love Jesus as Mary loved Jesus within her heart. Let us go to Mary. Let us feel this pure love that Mary has for Jesus, for the Father, for her Spouse the Holy Spirit. Let us go to her heart. Let us be her little children as she mothers us and she teaches us to love with her pure love, to love our Father as she loved the Father, to love Jesus as she loved Jesus, to love her Spouse the Holy Spirit with her pure love. This rosary is a rosary about love. Let us go to the heart of Mary at this moment. As Christ was carried within the womb of Mary, let us dwell within the heart of Mary and be saturated by the love of the Holy Spirit. Let us go there and ask Mary to fill us with her pure love that we may love God more in this rosary through her heart.

9. Song: Holy Is His Name

R. Christ came in the womb of Mary, the little Child Jesus. The Almighty God loved us so much that He came into this world and He took on flesh for love of us. Mary is a human person, the Mother of God. Think of how she is blasphemed this day in her Motherhood, how the devil has set out to tear down our beloved Mary, our pure and sinless Mother, the pure and sinless one. And the devil knows that her heart is the gateway to the Heart of Christ, so he has waged a war against our beloved Mary.

    O Mary, how we love you and ask you to take us to your heart, to fill us with your pure love, and to take us deeply into the Heart of your Son, Jesus, that we may unite with Him, that we may feel the fire of His love, that we may know the rapturous embrace of Divinity.

10. R. As a child is protected within the womb of their mother, let us go to the heart of Mary and feel this protection within her heart.

Song: Dwelling Place

Song: Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria; Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

 

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. R. And Mary filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud cry. Mary was the pure and sinless one, Eve, the one who gave into the serpent. Mary is the new Eve.

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

3. R. Is this not how it is with us, that we reflect the life of the Almighty God that lives in our soul, in our faces, in our eyes, in our being, in our mannerisms? And if God has given to us great gifts, it is in humility that we thank Him, that we do not hide these gifts, for He has given to us these gifts to promote His Kingdom. God lives in the graced, baptized soul. Jesus wants us to shine as the brightest lights in the darkness. We must let our light shine in this darkened world. Jesus has called us as His apostles here, His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to shine in this darkened world, to carry out Mary's peace plan, to take the consecrations into this world, and to be apostles of love. Look at ourselves. Are we apostles of love? Do we talk with our mouths, but within our hearts we are not loving? Do we act like apostles of love? Do we act like Jesus? He has called us to this special calling to be an apostle of love.

    Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth. The child Jesus was within her womb. God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced, baptized soul. He is giving to us the greatest graces that He has not given to some of the greatest saints. Every time that we contact another person, His life is radiated from our eyes and our hearts. Jesus wants us to be apostles of love. Look at ourselves. Are we loving? Are we the apostles of love that He wants to send into the darkness? O Jesus, how we long to be one in You, that You will live in us, that we are Your instruments that will shine in the dark world, but it is so hard in this world, We need Your grace, dear Jesus. We need Your grace that we will be as You want us to be.

4. R. Yesterday, I had an experience. It was as if I was seeing out of the eyes of God. Think of ourselves in a room doing all the things that we do. Are we aware that the eyes of God are present and watching us at every moment, that He is so close to us at every second? If you knew that God was there, if He lifted the veil and you saw Him, if you felt His presence within your being, if we were wrapped with His love, we would not be afraid. We would not worry. We would not try to get ahead and to bump our brother. We would feel secure. Let us think about God with us here. Let us release ourselves of all of the anxiety that we feel within our hearts and feel the eyes of God upon us. There is a veil that separates us from Him. Today, in church, He lifted the veil around the exposed Eucharist, and I saw the sparkling grace surrounding the Eucharist and the aurora around the whole sanctuary. It was adorned in a light that is indescribable, not even to call it a light, and for a moment, I had the glimpse of heaven. We just do not see. We must operate with eyes of faith. If we saw what goes on at Mass, if He lifted the veil, we would fall on our face. But we are so fixed to the earth. We must pray for that awareness at every second of the Almighty God, of the eyes that watch us and guard us. We must be aware of every hair on our head that is numbered. We must see as from His eyes and not be so focused on this earth.

5. R. It is in Him that we have peace. When we feel peace within us, we know the Holy Spirit in us. We know that God is in us in a special way. The devil will try to tear us apart. He causes confusion, doubt, and anxiety. We are in a spiritual battle. The devil is fighting for many souls. Jesus cries out, "Bring Me souls! Bring Me souls! Bring Me souls!" And the devil wants us stopped. We are His apostles of love. The work that we do will make the difference to millions and millions of souls, so the devil is pressing so hard on us.

6. R. Mary gave me a message at 5 o'clock in the morning on September 13th, and Mary said that the devil will tempt to pry us apart and rip us apart at the seams. Do you know how it is when you are with someone and the confusion starts? Is this of God? Let us look at Mary as she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit, and Mary cried out in a loud voice, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior." These are the Joyful Mysteries. It is in realizing the presence of God that we have great joy within our hearts. His eyes are upon us. His presence is within us. He is alive. What have we to fear? If we get focused on what other people are saying and doing and the events in our lives, many times we lose sight of the eyes that guard and watch us at every moment, the breath of Jesus that is breathing on us, His Heart that is beating within us. Jesus gave the last beat of His Heart and the last drop of His blood for us. Do we think that He will abandon us now when we are His apostles of love that are going out into this world to carry the message of His love? He said last week how He is allowing us to suffer for the struggles ahead will be immense, and we must be strong soldiers. Every, every suffering that He gives to us is a gift from Him, and we must accept it for in the suffering there is the new life.

Song: Spirit Song

Jesus: I call you to love. My beloved ones, I am Jesus. I am calling you to love one another, to put aside all division that you feel in your heart with each other, for this is from satan. My ways are ways of love. My ways are ways of peace. Satan will attempt to divide you. He is attempting to tear apart families, to tear apart the Church, to tear apart friends. He is attempting to tear down all that is good. You must not give into the temptations of satan. You must discipline your thoughts, and come to Me and I will give to you My love. Do not give into the thoughts that are causing anxiety and lack of peace within your hearts, that are causing division with your brothers. He will attempt to divide all of you, My chosen ones. You are working together to help souls to get to heaven. This is a big part of the completion of the Fatima message. You must not give into satan. My ways are peace and love. My eyes are guarding and watching you at every second. As you go about your day, you are the light that shines in the darkness. How are your mouths and your hearts? How are your thoughts? Have you given into thoughts of division? Have you talked about your brother? I am guarding you and watching you. You are poor in your faith. You do not believe that I am truly here. I am Jesus. I gave Myself on the cross for you. My eyes are upon you. I am guarding you and watching you. You must pray for faith. Do not give into thoughts of division, of hatred, of anger, of upsetment, of anxiety. These are from satan. When you are taunted by satan, do not make decisions. My dear ones, you must wait for the Holy Spirit to fill you with love and joy, and then you make the decisions that you need to make. I am Jesus. You are My apostles of love that I am sending into the darkness. Will you carry My light, or will you carry more darkness into the darkness. Many hearts are black and in sin. I am giving to you, in this rosary, abundant graces that you will have the strength to carry light into the darkness. You must discipline your thoughts. When you are tempted to think ill thoughts of others, remember that I died for them. I loved all to My death.

7. R. The hardest thing, Jesus, is when I know I feel divided in my heart toward any person and I tell someone, I divide myself from You. And this is a pain far worse than any division with any human person, for I want to be so one with You, and You are one with all of my brothers. If there is division in my heart, thoughts of anger or hatred towards any of my brothers, I am not one with You, as I want to be, for You are one with all. Give me the grace to love as You love.

Song: Teach Me to Love with Your Heart

8. R. It was within the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary that Jesus was formed through the power of the Holy Spirit, that His most Sacred Heart was formed. Mary is constantly bringing forth her children. It is in her heart, her spiritual womb, through the power of the Holy Spirit her beloved Spouse, that we are filled with the fire of God's love and that we are formed more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus. If we want to be like Jesus, we must go to Mary, go to her heart and ask the Holy Spirit to form us more into the image and likeness of our beloved Jesus. Dear Holy Spirit, fill us with the fire of God's love. Let us feel the security and the love of going to the womb of Mary as a little embryo without any cares or any anxiety, but to go to Mary, to be wrapped in her pure love and to know that the devil cannot get us there. For Mary crushes the head of satan. We are protected within the heart of our Mother, the pure and sinless one.

9. Jesus: I watch you. I watch you, My beloved ones, and I see the division in your heart. I am watching you. I am watching you when you love, and you are tender and you are gentle. My ways are tender and gentle and loving. You must rid yourselves of all of the impurities within your hearts, for you are My apostles of love. You must not give in to the temptation of satan to divide you from any man, for you are My beloved one that I have given the greatest love and that will carry My light to the dark hearts that are dead in sin. Focus on your eternal life. The way that you conduct yourself this day will make the difference to their lives. Many of your brothers hurt you and cause you pain, but you must see their soul, see their heart, and know that this life is so short compared to all eternity. Would you want to see your brother suffering in hell or purgatory? You are the light. You carry My light to them. Your hearts must be pure and without sin. I am Jesus. I am giving you the grace to be a great lover.

10. R. Mary carried the Child Jesus within her womb, and we carry His life within us. Are we reflections of this life? Are our faces filled with His light? Are our hearts filled with His love? Or do we tell ourselves, "It doesn't matter if I am divided with this person"? If we tell ourselves that, we really divide ourselves from Jesus, and this hurts far more than being divided with any brother.

Jesus: You will be persecuted, and you will know joy. You must not give into either. I am Jesus. You must operate always in love.

Song: Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria; Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

Jesus: Are your actions determined by your brothers, or are your actions determined by what God wants – love, living like My Heart? Do not give into wanting the recognition of others. Your heart must be pure and filled with love. When you are persecuted, come to Me. When you receive recognition, come to Me and thank your Heavenly Father. I am Jesus. Your actions must be determined by what is God's will for you. Be loving in your heart. Like My Heart. So as you are in your hearts, you will be in this world.

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. The Christ Child was God. Jesus knew all things. He is the Almighty God. We see the Child Jesus within this stable at Bethlehem, a little baby, a little, naked baby. But Jesus, in His Divine knowing, knew all things. From the beginning, He was rejected by men. He was born in such poverty. Can you imagine what it would be to know all things, to know God, and to be rejected by creatures?

2. R. Do we think of the pain within the Heart of Jesus all through His life to know all things, the eyes of God Himself in this world and to see the pettiness, the sinfulness, the selfishness of men? Jesus came to this earth because of His love for us. The Almighty God walked the earth, lived on this earth as a little Child. In His Divine knowing, He knew all things.

3. R. And the star shone above His bed. We just do not see, and our eyes of faith are so weak. The eyes of God are truly upon us. We see the darkness now as it covers the earth, and we will see the light as it comes up in the morning. We hear the noises of the night. We see the life in a blade of grass, but we do not see, we do not truly see the power of the Almighty God. We see with such limited vision. We must focus on Him and His presence with us always and His eyes upon us always, that He is guarding us and watching us, and that He has chosen us, truly chosen us, the elected, to be His apostles to go into this world and to be lights. And so the devil presses in daily on us because he knows of the immenseness of our mission. Jesus loved us so much, He came into this world and was born a little baby in a stable.

4. R. Do we really think that God would take on human flesh, would be bound in a baby body, tied at the pillar and wrapped to the pillar. Jesus allowed Himself to be tortured, crowned with thorns, carried the cross, hung on the cross, to His brutal death, and then this very day not send some kind of medicine to lead us to a deeper union with Him? This is the love that God has for us. Today, His eyes are upon us, His elected ones. He is watching us. He is giving to us these messages to grow in deeper union with Him. This is the mighty medicine for the world, the fire of His love.

5. Jesus: And I watched you, My little one. I watched you when you were tired and when you were hungry and you felt crabby, and you did not give into those feelings within you, but you smiled and you loved. I watched you care for your child with tender, loving care when you could have became angry with them. This is My way. My way is always the way of love.

R. We see a gentle baby in Bethlehem. Jesus came as a little baby to show us that His ways are gentle.

6. R. Are we gentle? Are we apostles of love, or are we harsh? Are we condemning? Are we criticizing? Are we acting like Christ? Are we Christ to one another in this world? Satan is division. Within our minds, he talks and tries to get us at odds with those people that we love, but Jesus is giving to us a great grace to be great lovers, to be the lights. We see the light that shone above His bed. We see Jesus, the Son of God, in a little, naked, baby body. Look at the humility of the Child Jesus. In His Divine knowing, He knew all things. Jesus came a little baby.

7. R. Jesus' way is not prideful. We must go to the heart of our Mother that our hearts may be pure hearts, that our hearts are not haughty hearts, that our hearts are hearts of love.

8. Jesus: I see you. You think that I am not watching you. I see you at every moment. I know every thought that you have, every desire in your heart. I am with you. I am with you at every second. Are your hearts pure? Are your hearts loving?

R. What does it matter, one moment it is here and one moment up in smoke? One moment and our life is over. How many times has Jesus said this? All that matters is that we love God and love each other. For if we truly knew that tonight we would go home and we would die, would all the things that are in our mind make such a difference? This is what we must do at every moment - we must die to our wills and live according to His will. Every moment, it is a heroic act when we die to those things that we want so bad but we know God would not like.

Jesus: I do not want you to talk about one another. My way is love.

9. R. The greatest heart of love, the heart of a little baby. Why are we so haughty in our hearts that we must defend ourselves and compare ourselves to one another when the Almighty God comes to this earth as a little baby, naked, with a little baby body?

10. R. The light will not come from boasting about ourselves. The light will come from His life alive within us. Our eyes will radiate this life, and our faces will shine with His life. But it only comes when we surrender to Him, and we give Him our hearts.

Song: A Song from Jesus

Jesus: Will you die to your will? At every moment, will you die to those things that seem so important that are keeping you away from Me? Every moment, you must try to do the will of the Father.

 

The Presentation in the Temple

1. R. Mary and Joseph took the Child Jesus to the Temple. We see Mary carry the Child Jesus within her arms. This is the Almighty God. Such humility that He allows Himself to be carried by a human person in their arms. Why are our hearts so high and mighty that we do not allow others to help us, that we think that we must be in control? Jesus tells us that we must be gentle and loving.

2. R. We see in this world today how so many are disobedient to God, disobedient to those over them serving God . We see all through the lives of Jesus and Mary how they complied always to the Father's will. Jesus was carried within the arms of His Mother to the Temple, and the old man Simeon told Mary that, "A sword too will pierce your heart."

3. R. Simeon told Mary that, "This Child is destined for the rise and fall of many in Israel.

4. R. From this moment on, Mary knew that Jesus would suffer. Within her heart, she carried this sword, and within the Heart of Jesus, He carried the pain, in His Divine knowing, always knowing what would come. We see this secret between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. From the prophecy of Simeon, we see the face of Mary forlorn in the Lady of Perpetual Help picture and the forlorn face of Jesus, for They both knew of the sufferings to come, and They carried this anguish within Their Hearts. We see many pictures of Jesus and Mary with this solemn look on Their faces. In His Divine knowing, He knew all things. This is the Almighty God, a little baby carried in the arms of a human person, knowing full well He would suffer, and He complied to the will of the Father.

5. R. It is a heroic deed when we comply to the will of the Father at every second. For we are helping souls to get to heaven, when we are dying to our own will and doing the will of God and helping souls through our calling by God. The devil tells us that we should satisfy ourselves, that we should have endless pleasures, but Jesus tells us that it is only in dying to our will and doing God's will, will we be happy. In order to have greater life in Him, we must die to our own wills and comply always to the will of the Father.

6. Jesus: Are you suffering this day, My sweet, sweet ones? My eyes are upon you. I am watching you. I know you are persecuted and you are working. You are working to help spread the Good News and satan is pressing down on you, but My eyes are upon you and you are helping many, helping many to get to heaven. I am Jesus. How tenderly I love you and thank you for all your efforts to help the souls to get to heaven and to know Me.

7. R. Mary's heart was pierced with a sword, invisibly seven times. We see the seven sorrows of Mary, the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt when all the little babies were slaughtered. We see the Child Jesus lost in the Temple. We see Them as Jesus and Mary look into the eyes of each other, Jesus' face covered with blood and her face covered with tears on the way to Calvary. We see Mary under the cross and holding Him in her arms and Mary crying outside His tomb. If Mary suffered so and she is His Mother, if Christ came to this earth, born in such poverty and died on a cross, why do we not see the mystery of death/resurrection.

8. R. For five mysteries of the rosary, we meditate on the sufferings of Jesus in which His Divinity is hidden, but for five mysteries of the rosary, we meditate on the great glories, the Resurrection, the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit, when Mary is taken into heaven, and crowned "Queen of Heaven and Earth." The angel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God. Jesus and Mary had many sufferings and joys. Jesus ascended into heaven – Mary was assumed into heaven. Mary was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth.

9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. R. There are many today that are lost, and Mary has appeared over and over again and asked us to help to lead them home to the Heart of her Son.

2. R. The greatest loss is for a soul to be separated from God. This is the greatest anguish of all.

3. Jesus: O sweet and gentle ones, I am calling you to carry My message of love into this world. I am asking you to circulate these messages that I am delivering, My letters of love. Many souls will turn from their sinful ways when they are fed with the fire of My love.

4. Jesus: Are you cold? Are you hungry? Think of how it would be to be empty within your heart, to be black within your heart, to be cut off from My life. You are My apostles that will reach the world. You must go into the world and carry My message of love to the souls that are lost.

5. R. And they marched into the darkness and they carried the song of Jesus within their hearts, for they knew that His eyes were forever upon them, and they were filled in their hearts with love not with fear or anxiousness or division but with hearts of burning love.

6. R. What is this all about that we are so caught up in each moment, that we are angry with one another, that we shout when we are tired and when we are hungry? Do we not realize that His eyes are upon us and that others are watching our actions? We wear our crucifix and we tell others about God, but in our actions, do we act as Christ would act if He was here and walked the earth?

7. Jesus: When it is the hardest to love that is when you will teach the greatest lessons of My love, for people are watching you this day. You must not give into satan. My ways are always love and peace.

8. Hail Mary

9. R. Mary has asked us to spread the rosary and the Aves to the children. For nine months, everyday, she has asked us to help lead the lost children back to her Son, Jesus. We are her apostles that will help carry out this peace plan that she has given to us at Fatima, for she said at Fatima that we will have peace if we consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, pray the rosary, if we observe the First Saturday and make reparation to Their Hearts. Mary has asked us to reach the children. Many poor, little children do not even know about the love of Jesus.

10. R. They are lost and cannot find their way. Mary has asked us to be her children of light and to lead them to her and to her Son.

Jesus: This is My rosary of love that I have delivered to you. I have called each and every person to this farm to hear these messages. I am calling you this night to carry this message out to the world. You are My apostles of love. You will be the lights that shine in the darkness. I beg you. I beg you, My beloved ones, from My most Sacred Heart. I cry out to you, "I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!" And I am treated like a dead object by so many of My beloved souls. Bring to Me the souls! Bring to Me the souls of your brothers. I am Jesus. I beg you. I beg you to go into the darkness and to carry your hearts filled with love. Do not give in to the division in your hearts. You must love.

Jesus: You will have joy in your hearts when you surrender and come to Me. Do not hold on to any anger in your hearts. You must be apostles of joy, for you know Me and you know My love. Do not go into the world with glum faces. Go into the world with a face that is bright and filled with light. You must smile and tell others about My love.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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 - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 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
$ 15.00 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
$ 15.00 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

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
