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. Do you feel the presence of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

The Father, has a plan for us.
God wants this relationship with us.
We are here to grow in our intimacy
with God.
In this Lent we can spend time
alone with God and think of the
presence of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit in our heart.

Jesus: Be alone with Me, close
your eyes, think of the presence of
God, All three Persons, dwelling in
your heart.

Meditate, empty your mind, think
only of the presence of God. Make
a spiritual communion, now.

Take time, be alone with Me.

Everyday during Lent, morning and
night, empty your mind, make a
spiritual communion, think of God’s
presence with you, close your eyes,
be alone with Me.

This will help you to grow in God’s
presence all day, the more you do
this, all thru Lent.

I went into the desert to pray for
40 days and be with My Father,
practice this every day during Lent.
Being alone with God. Knowing
My presence!!!!

R. We were created to go home
someday to our true home in heaven.
God wants to use us to touch others
in our lives.
We are to live a life of witnessing
to God while we are here.
God is with us now.

Jesus wants an intimate relationship
with us in our lives.

Reach, Reach -
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Spread the Good News!!
Spread these messages.

Baptism gives us a sharing in His life.

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 

R. Open our hearts Lord.
Call / Response.

Don’t turn away.

R. The Eucharist feeds us!!!

The power is in the Eucharist!!

A Priest is a Gift from God.
 

So Mary appeared in CLEAR-WATER.

She appeared in Rainbow Color.

Remember Noah- the Flood.

The covenant God made with Noah.
The sign of the Rainbow

Our Lady of CLEAR-WATER.

God made a covenant with Noah.

The sign given was the RAINBOW
after the Flood.
 

  

 


 

1 Peter 3:18-22

Christ himself died once and for all for sins, the upright for the sake of the guilty, to lead us to God. In the body he was put to death, in the spirit he was raised to life, and, in the spirit, he went to preach to the spirits in prison. They refused to believe long ago, while God patiently waited to receive them, in Noah's time when the ark was being built. In it only a few, that is eight souls, were saved through water. It is the baptism corresponding to this water which saves you now -- not the washing off of physical dirt but the pledge of a good conscience given to God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has entered heaven and is at God's right hand, with angels, ruling forces and powers subject to him.

R. Can you imagine Jesus shed His
Blood on the earth?

Can you see His blood on the ground?

A puddle of blood at the scourging
at the pillar.

A trail of blood as they dragged Jesus
away after being whipped.

Blood on the ground, blood-stained
garments, matted blood in His hair,
dried blood in His eyes and face
and body.

Then a trail of blood as He dragged
the cross, the saving blood mixed
with mud, in sandy mud, on floors.

The saving blood coming from
Jesus’ pores, His wounds, head to
toe.

Can you see this? Blood shed for
our sins, indifference, jealousy -
some too proud to even ask for
forgiveness.

Some filled with anger from the
past, but refuse to admit and deny.

Jesus in His Divine Love, shed
the saving blood, while some in
the pride of their sins want to be
justified and right, rather than say
they are sorry - like the Good Thief.

So simple to say to one "I’m sorry",
I want to make up to Jesus and
you for my sins
and spend my life loving like
Jesus did for me when He shed
the saving blood, that stained the
earth for our unloving hearts.

Jesus loved when He emptied
Himself to pay for our sins.

Sin offends God, who created us
in love - to love. God created us in
His image and likeness.

Love, Jesus taught us, obeys God’s
commandment of love.

Mary said at Fatima, at Clearwater -
repent of your sins, as our heavenly
Mother, Mary appeared in rainbow
color - a sign of God’s Covenant -
the rainbow -

Anger, jealousy, envy, pride are
deadly sins.
 

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

R. The Sacrifice of the Mass is the
sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.

Jesus gives us Himself in deepest
love in the Eucharist.

Being meek - is not combatal.

Jesus shows us humility, kindness,
meekness in Heart.

Jesus had a crown of holes in His
head, He was spit on, mocked, hit,
abused…

An innocent Lamb - led to the slaughter.

Lambs are not combatal.

Lions are ready to attack.

Angry dogs come out of locked
basements.

Mary, conceived without sin, is pure.

No stain of sin marred her soul.

The stain of blood was smeared all
over, the tree they hung Him on,
Veronica’s cloth.

R. The saving blood mixed with the
mud of the earth, shed in love.

Oh Jesus, I love You, give us the
grace to be sorry for our sins, not
self-righteous with hard hearts.

Sin offends God and Jesus forgave
the Good Thief, Jesus shed the last
drop of His Blood and gave the last
beat of His Heart for our sins, He
loved us so much.

Song: Give me your Heart, Oh Jesus,
give me a Heart like Yours

Song: A Song from Jesus

Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my
Son and I cried.

R. In the Our Father we say “…Thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”

Sin was paid for on earth by the blood
of Jesus -

His blood fell to the earth to pay for
our sins.

We have been ransomed for a high
price.
Jesus paid for our sins.
God created us in love - to love.

Sin offends God.
We are accountable and responsible
for our sins.

In the beginning of Mass we are sorry
for our sins, venial sins can be taken
away, then.

God gives us the priest - the sacrament
of confession.

Jesus paid for our sins.
Jesus came to give us new life.

 

Colossians 1: 15-20

He is the image of the unseen God,
the first–born of all creation,
for in him were created all things
in heaven and on earth:
everything visible
    and everything invisible,
thrones, ruling forces,
    sovereignties, powers —
all things were created through him
    and for him.
He exists before all things
and in him all things hold together,
and he is the Head of the Body,
that is, the Church.

He is the Beginning,
the first–born from the dead,
so that he should be supreme in every way;
because God wanted all fullness
    to be found in him
and through him
    to reconcile all things to him,
everything in heaven
    and everything on earth,
by making peace through his death
    on the cross.
 

R. Reach, let Christ's light open our
hearts to love.
Jesus is with us. Every second reach
for greater purity and intimacy with
God.
We can reach in our lives for so
many incidental things and God is
alive and He wants an intimate
relationship with us.
Pray for an increase of faith, hope
and love in our graced, baptized soul.
Give your love to Jesus who
gave and gave and gave to us.
In baptism God gives us a sharing in
His life.

Think of love.
Jesus loved us and shed His blood
on earth.
He keeps giving.
The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present.

Jesus brings light to the darkness.
Abuse from childhood needs recovery.
Jesus suffered on earth, but brings
His love to us today.

One little candle shines in a dark space.

Let the light of Jesus shine from our
hearts, where ever we go.

Jesus is the Light of the world.
Ask God to shine from our hearts
filled with Him.

Jesus is a light in the darkness, but He
enlists our help.
Obey God and love.

There are many dark places that need
the light.

Our prayers and doing God’s will can
light up the darkness with love, peace
and joy.

Committed to the cause of Christ.

 

February 17, 2024

R. Our Lady of Fatima said: Repent
and Convert.

Our Lady of Clearwater said: Repent
and Convert.

God the Father said: Mary is pure gift.
Fr. Carter said to hate is really hurting
yourself.

What happened to the order, when
Eve wanted to be equal to God, then
sin and disorder entered the world.

The Good Thief was sorry.
Jesus while He was dying was thinking
of others.

The Bad Thief was not sorry, but not
nice to Jesus, even when dying on
the cross.

Jesus: I died obeying My Father’s will.

I command you to love.
I am love.

 

Joyful Mysteries

July 25, 1995

The Annunciation

1. Mary: My dear little children, come to the heart of your Mother. Satan is pressing down on all of you. My beloved children, it is only when you take refuge in my heart that you will be able to withstand the sufferings, persecutions and the trials that you will experience daily. I am Mary, your Mother and I ask you now to come to my heart, to lay yourself in my heart, to be rocked and loved within my tender heart.

I know all of the struggles in your mind and in your hearts. I am the most loving Mother and I am with you. I give to you, my dear ones, love. I lead you to my Son and my Son Jesus outpours His love! As it flows through His Heart, it flows from my heart to you and you are filled with such vibrancy and love. I am Mary, your Mother. Put yourself, my dear ones, in my care. As you go through these mysteries of the rosary, meditate with your whole heart, your whole mind and your whole soul. Put yourself in the presence of the Almighty God and realize that He lives within you. When you are in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is within you.

Satan will test you, he will try you, he will try to trip you up. I am Mary, your Mother. I crush satan’s head. Come to the Heart of Jesus. Come to my heart. This is the Mighty Medicine — Our love — the Love of Jesus. Come dwell in Our Hearts. You will be strengthened to fight the battle against satan. Come now, my beloved children, and meditate on our lives with your whole heart. Release yourself of all anxieties, all the tightness, all the fears, all of the problems with everyone in your life and let go, and surrender to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as We carry you through Our lives.

2. Mary: Satan will get you focused on problems, my dear ones. You must pray for the grace to be able to fight the temptation and come and dwell in my loving heart. I caress you and hold you tenderly to my breast. I am Mary, your Mother and I am mothering you in my arms.

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

4. R. The most highly favored daughter of the Father was chosen by God, Mother of His Son. This tells us of the immense love that the Father had for the Virgin Mary and how He loves women that His Son Jesus came into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

5. Hail Mary
6. Hail Mary

7. Jesus: The seeds of time move exceedingly slow and satan gets you focused on problems, My dear ones and you see the details in front of your lives. You do not see the big picture — the picture of the plan of salvation. As you meditate on this rosary, see the plan as it unfolds.

R. The Son of God enters this earth in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He lived His life. He walked all through the Passion, He died. He rose and ascended into Heaven and we live His life, death and resurrection in our lives. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, today.

8. Mary: It is in the constancy, to stay fixed forever in the love of Jesus, that you will have peace and joy in your heart to know the presence of the Almighty God within you at every single second to be focusing on your union with Him and to tell Him of your moments of struggle and of your deep love for Him. To share these moments with Him and to put aside the distractions, my dear, dear, sweet little children. Please listen, I beg you to listen and to come to my heart and I will join your heart in such union with the Heart of my Son. You, my beloved ones, were created with a soul to know, love and serve God. Nothing will feed the soul but the love of God.

9. Mary: You may be satisfied for a short time by little whims here, but you must be focused on your union with Jesus. I am Mary, your Mother. The only thing that feeds the soul is the love of God. No matter how hard you try to make other things work in your life, they do not work if they are not rooted in His love. I am asking you this evening to come and picture yourself cradled and caressed in my heart. As I dwell in the Heart of my Son, you too will dwell in Him, in His Sacred Heart in such deep, deep love if you go to His Heart.

10. Mary: My dear ones, the world is very sick. In the hospital many people are not cared for spiritually. They are cared for physically but their souls are left to wither and die in pain. The soul must be fed by the love of God. In the nursing homes many patients are cared for physically and they sit and stare at the walls with hearts that are aching. My Son Jesus loves each and every soul. I call out to you to spread these messages of His love to the world. The souls are starved and aching and crying out and they are being fed by things of the world and their hearts cry out for more and more and more. The world is suffering and in pain and they are sick in their hearts. Many of my little children have a disease far worse than any physical disease. Many are withered in their hearts and in their soul and are dying from lack of nutrition. You contain, my sweet children, the mighty medicine to feed the sick children of the world. The medicine is the love of my Son Jesus.

  

The Visitation

1. R. Mary made haste to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Her cousin Elizabeth had conceived a child in her old age and when Mary arrived at Elizabeth’s home, with the Child Jesus within her womb, the child in Elizabeth’s womb leapt with joy and Elizabeth cried out,

Luke 2: 42-45

‘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. How is it that the Mother of our God should come and speak to us? How is it that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in His Divinity and humanity, remains with us this day in the Blessed Sacrament, longing and searching and waiting for us to come and to be with Him. How is it that the Father loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and He is neglected and treated with indifference and ingratitude. How is this that we can be so cold and callous in our hearts when Jesus is so tender, so gentle, and so loving and He waits and thirsts for us to come and be with Him. I hear the constant lamenting from the tabernacle. How He is waiting and thirsting for His precious little ones to come and be with Him. Many times these words fall on deaf ears — many men have turned their back on Jesus.

3. R. We receive the Word of God! He is talking to us, today in His Word. Let His Word live in us!! This day when He calls out in the Scriptures how He loves with the dearest love that He would not forsake us or forget us.

Isaiah 49:15

Can a woman forget her baby at the breast, feel no pity for the child she has borne? Even if these were to forget, I shall not forget you.

R. Do we hear the Word — His Word of deepest love from the burning Heart of Jesus, our Savior?

4. R. Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth. Jesus comes to us this day in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus comes inside of us and unites with us in deepest love and He calls out over and over again and He asks me to tell all of His deep and burning love. I hear Him speak of His Heart, gentle and kind. Jesus is with us. He is waiting for our love affair with Him. He is alive.

5. R. Let your heart be open. Let your soul be filled with love, make it shine as light in the darkest night. May your face show the love of Almighty God that lives within your being. Make all those you touch know His presence in you. Tell them of the Might of the Almighty God, a power too mighty to be contained.

Jesus: I want to fill your heart and permeate your soul with My light and My love.

6. Song: On This Day, O Beautiful Mother

7. Mary: Let not your hearts be hard but soft and supple. Do not speak against your brother. Do not speak unkindly at all about your brothers. If you are to unite to the Heart of my Son, you must put aside all those things. My Son is burning and on fire with love for each one of you and wants to be so close to you. Only a heart that is pure will unite in deepest love with my Son. I am Mary, your Mother. I am present and with you. I appear to you, my beloved ones, in such light for as you learn my ways and the ways of my Son, you will light up the darkness. (I am the Lady of Light. I appear to you this day as the Lady of Light, to shed the light of my Son into your hearts.)

8. Mary: The way to my Son is many times filled with bumps and hard times. My dear children, you must come to my heart and rest in my heart and dwell in the Heart of my Son for the road ahead will be bumpy and hard and you will suffer very much persecution. It is only in dwelling in Our Hearts you will have peace and joy. Where can you go — there is not a place to go. The times will move ahead, they will be hard. You must come to my heart and dwell in my heart and the Heart of my Son. As the light flows around me, His light too will radiate from your eyes and your face, for in joining to Our Hearts you will show the love of God to a world that is suffering and in pain. I am Mary, your Mother, Our Lady of Light. I have come to deliver this message of my love to you this day. My sweet and dear children, I have come to deliver this message to you.

9. Mary: If you could see the rays of the Holy Eucharist, my sweet little children, you would fall to the floor. You do not know the great gift that you are given. My Son Jesus is received so lightly and with such ingratitude. I ask you to make reparation to His Heart for all the injustices and for the indifference and the neglect that He suffers. In the Sacrament of His greatest love, the Holy Eucharist, you receive a visit from Jesus my sweet children. Go to the Eucharist. It is there that He pours out His abundant grace and you will know, more and more, His love when you go to the Eucharist.

10. Mary: I am Mary, your Mother, Mother of the Eucharist. I am united with the Heart of my Son. Go to His Heart, my dear ones. Your souls are thirsting for His love and nothing, nothing, nothing on the face of this earth will feed the starved soul, but the love of God.

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. In the town of Bethlehem, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is born in such poverty and rejected by men. He comes to this earth to give His love to each and every soul. He is not adorned in glory, He comes in such humbleness and the stars shine over Him and proclaim the greatness of the Almighty God!

2. R. The little shepherd was born in the manger, surrounded by sheep and shepherds.

3. R. Jesus Christ, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, comes to this earth. The Son of God comes to lead all men to their real home, in heaven. Each little lamb He holds so close to His Heart and comforts them and gives them His tender love.

4. Jesus: I am Jesus, My beloved ones. Many of My flock have strayed and have lost their way and I am calling out to you to pray, pray, pray, as you go into this world with hearts that are filled with My love. I am calling you to unite in the deepest union with My Heart, for I long and thirst and wait for you. It is in this union that I can operate from your soul and minister to My little stray sheep in this world. I call out to you - do you hear? Will you answer the call? You are My shepherds that I am sending into this world to bring My flock home. I operate in you, through you, and with you. Come to Me and unite with Me, in deepest love. I am gentle and kind of Heart. I love you, My dear one.

5. Song: Like A Shepherd

6: Jesus: How the flock has strayed and look at the lives of the little, innocent children. How many are lost and many cannot find their way! It is only in spreading My love across the world that children and adults will be led back and on their way to their true home in heaven. I am calling out to you to send messages of My love into this world. To do this you must be filled with fire for love of God within your hearts. I am burning with love for you. Will you come to Me and let Me fill you with love? Will you spend time with Me in front of the tabernacle and receive My grace and light? I am fortifying you with My supplies and sending you out into the world.

7. Jesus: It is in suffering that you are joined closer to My Heart. My dear ones, many things will happen to lead you to My Heart and many will still refuse the signs that are given to them. You must pray to the Father at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being offered throughout the world in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary united to Me. All through the day offer up all of your prayers, works, joys and sufferings for the souls of My beloved ones, for many are very sick in the world and have lost their way. I am Jesus. I am sending you, My chosen ones, on a journey to lead the little sheep home.

8. R. Jesus came as a helpless little baby, born in a manger, in Bethlehem.

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. God is calling out to us to spread His love through the world.

9. R. Jesus calls out to us to feed the hungry. The souls are hungry and are starving for the love of God. It is only in the love of God that is rooted deeply within your heart that you will feed the starved souls.

Jesus: I want to be one in you, that you feel My presence so connected to you and that your hearts are joined in deepest intimacy with Me and I will minister to the starved souls through you and they will see the light of the Almighty God from your eyes and this world will know that I live in you.

10. Jesus: Many in Medjugorje lost their homes. They did not have water, they did not have food, they lost everything they had. You, America, are given such great blessings and you do not even say thanks for the gifts that you are given. There is always a cry for more, more and more — to feed the starved soul, only the love of God will feed the starved souls! Many hearts have turned cold as stone. I am Jesus and you are My soldiers, you are going into battle to fight a battle in a godless world. It is through your love, through your days united with Our Hearts, that you will light up the darkness.

 

The Presentation in the Temple

1. R. Jesus was taken to the Temple to be presented to His Father and they offered a pair of turtle doves. In His Divine knowing, He knew of the sacrifice that would come someday.

2. R. The prophet Simeon told Mary of the sufferings of Mary and Jesus to come and he says to her, “a sword too shall pierce your soul, O Mary.”

3. R. Mary knew of the sufferings the Child Jesus would suffer whenever she looked at Him. Jesus in His Divine knowing knew of the sufferings to come. There is such intimacy between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary all through the Joyful Mysteries. We see the connection between the Two Hearts that beat in the same body. Jesus was carried in the womb of His Mother. The child received the milk of His Mother after His birth. Mary was the life support of her Son. Mary is our Mother. Mary mothers us this day, Mary leads us to Jesus. Jesus outpour Your grace to us. We are thirsty for You, oh God!!

4. R. It is through the pierced Heart of Jesus that the sacramental life of the Church was born. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace. Mary stands at the foot of the cross and she stands by the altar.

5. R. God outpour Your grace to us!!

6. R. Simeon says to Mary, “A sword too shall pierce your soul, O Mary” we remember the 7 Dolors —

The Seven Sorrows of Mary

(1) The prophecy of Simeon
(2) The flight into Egypt
(3) The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple
(4) Jesus and Mary meet on the way to the cross
(5) Jesus dies on the cross
(6) Jesus is taken down from the cross and laid in Mary’s arms
(7) The burial of Jesus

7. Luke 2: 25-34

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—so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’

8. R. Let us go and cradle in the heart of our beloved Mother, with all of her motherly tenderness, we dwell in her heart, we dwell in the Heart of her Son. We want His abundant love. We want to be saturated with His grace. We understand more the mystery. We meditate on the mystery of Their lives. We understand more the mystery of God’s love. We seek greater life in Him. We seek His love!!

9. R. We thirst and long and beg to receive more grace, more and more life, to know more fully for it is in this life, this saturation of grace, that feeds the starved soul and as we are fed more and more, you want more and more, for it is an endless source. We can always grow deeper and deeper in this life and be saturated more and more, so as we are saturated more and more with His life today, we are more holy.

10. Song: I Love You Jesus

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. Song: Amazing Grace

2. Song: A Song from Jesus

3. Jesus: Many little lambs this day are lost and cannot find their way. Pray that they may receive this grace so that where they are blind that they will see. I fill you with My life where you were blind before - you now see so clearly. My dear ones, pray, pray, pray to receive grace to know and love God more and more. Pray for your brothers.

4. Jesus: In one second you can see so clearly the mysteries when you are given My grace. My dear ones, pray for grace to see more and more and pray to the Holy Spirit for His gifts.

5. R. Wisdom, Counsel, Understanding, Fear of God, and Fortitude, these are gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Mary: My dear ones, go to my heart. Go to the Holy Spirit, pray to Him all through the day to fill you with the vibrancy of the fire of God’s love. Allow the Spirit to move within you, to operate you and to lead you on your way. It is in my heart that you are formed more and more in the image of Jesus, My Son, through the Holy Spirit. I am Mary, your Mother. Come to my heart.
   

From the Priestly Newsletter Book III by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit And Mary

The late Archbishop Luis M. Martinez of Mexico strikingly speaks of the ongoing cooperation of Mary with the Holy Spirit regarding the reproduction of Jesus within us: “Christian life is the reproduction of Jesus in souls…

“Now, how will this mystical reproduction be brought about in souls? In the same way in which Jesus was brought into the world, for God gives a wonderful mark of unity to all His works. Divine acts have a wealth of variety because they are the work of omnipotence; nevertheless, a most perfect unity always shines forth from them because they are the fruit of wisdom; and this divine contrast of unity and variety stamps the works of God with sublime and unutterable beauty.

“In His miraculous birth, Jesus was the fruit of heaven and earth…The Holy Spirit conveyed the divine fruitfulness of the Father to Mary, and the virginal soil brought forth in an ineffable manner our most loving Savior, the divine Seed, as the prophets called Him… “That is the way He is reproduced in souls. He is always the fruit of heaven and earth.

“Two artisans must concur in the work that is at once God’s masterpiece and humanity’s supreme product: the Holy Spirit and the most holy Virgin Mary. Two sanctifiers are necessary to souls, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, for they are the only ones who can reproduce Christ.

“Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary sanctify us in different ways. The first is the Sanctifier by essence; because He is God, who is infinite sanctity; because He is the personal Love that completes, so to speak, the sanctity of God, consummating His life and His unity, and it belongs to Him to communicate to souls the mystery of that sanctity. The Virgin Mary, for her part, is the co-operator, the indispensable instrument in and by God’s design. From Mary’s maternal relation to the human body of Christ is derived her relation to His Mystical Body which is being formed through all the centuries until the end of time, when it will be lifted up to the heavens, beautiful, splendid, complete, and glorious.

“These two, then, the Holy Spirit and Mary, are the indispensable artificers of Jesus, the indispensable sanctifiers of souls. Any saint in heaven can co-operate in the sanctification of a soul, but his co-operation is not necessary, not profound, not constant: while the cooperation of these two artisans of Jesus of whom we have just been speaking is so necessary that without it souls are not sanctified (and this by the actual design of Providence), and so intimate that it reaches to the very depths of our soul. For the Holy Spirit pours charity into our heart, makes a habitation of our soul, and directs our spiritual life by means of His gifts. The Virgin Mary has the efficacious influence of Mediatrix in the most profound and delicate operations of grace in our souls. And, finally, the action of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of the most holy Virgin Mary are constant; without them, not one single character of Jesus would be traced on our souls, no virtue grow, no gift be developed, no grace increased, no bond of union with God be strengthened in the rich flowering of the spiritual life.

“Such is the place that the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary have in the order of sanctification. Therefore, Christian piety should put these two artisans of Christ in their true place, making devotion to them something necessary, profound, and constant.”18

18. Archbishop Luis M. Martinez, The Sanctifier, op. cit. pp. 5-7.

6. R. I was blind, but now I see...

7. Mary: Many of my little ones are lost and wandering far from the Heart of my Son. It is through your prayers that many will be led home. Pray for my beloved priests, pray for the priests to lead the flock to the Heart of my Son. Many priests have wandered and are not filled with deep love of Jesus within their hearts. You must pray for your priests to return to the Heart of my Son, Jesus, to come to the Eucharist and to sit in front of the tabernacle to come with love and be filled within their hearts and souls with the love of God, to know Jesus as a Person and be intimately in love with Jesus. When the priests love Jesus with their whole hearts, their whole soul and their whole being, they will know more and more the love of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

I am Mary, your Mother. I am asking you to pray for the priests and the religious of the world. For many have turned worldly and they need your prayers. Satan is pressing down on the Church. He wants to stop the Eucharist. He wants to stop the priests. It is through your prayers that many will be helped. My little children, I am asking you to spend your days in pleasing the Father, in doing His will, and offering everything that you do as a prayer for the suffering souls of my little, lost children of the world. My Son was lost in the Temple but my heart is sorrowing for my little, lost children — lost in this world this day. I am Mary, your Mother and I am asking you to unite with the Heart of my Son. It is in this deep union that your prayers will become very strong for the suffering souls in this world.

8. Mary: Come to the Heart of my Son. Come to the Heart of my Son. Come to the Heart of my Son. Your souls are starved and craving for love and the gifts that you receive when you unite with Him, they are far beyond your comprehension. You do not understand the great gifts that you are given. You must reach to understand more — pray for grace. You have a human mind. You stay so close to the earth, when Jesus, my Son, is outpouring His Divine love to you and wants to fill you more and more with His grace.

I am Mary, your Mother. I am guarding you and protecting you with my mantle every second of your lives. You are my apostles that I have called to go into this world to spread the love of my Son. Come and dwell in my heart and I will form you more and more in the image of Jesus. My dear, dear, little children, I am crying out to you. I see before me the sufferings of my little children of this world - the children, the little children, that are being killed by abortion, and persecuted and taught such vileness in the schools. Do you see the sick ones? Do you see the sickness? They are being fed things of this world, the bloodshed will continue and hearts will remain cold unless you obey my message. I am Mary, your Mother and I am asking you to pray as you have never prayed before and to spread the messages of my Son’s love into this world, to spread these rosaries across the country. I am begging you to turn your hearts to love — love of God — love of your brother.

9. Mary: I give to you mighty medicine for this world, for this world is suffering and in pain and the medicine is the love of my Son, Jesus. Will you spread this love through the world? Will you carry these love letters to those that are hurting? Will you come and spend time with Him? Will you surrender and offer up the day to comply in the Father’s will for the suffering souls? What you do with every minute of your day will make a difference. You will be taunted and satan will try to stop you in your path — he will try to tell you that what you do is not going to make very much difference.

I am Mary, your Mother. With all of your efforts, my Son cries out to you this night. The love of God will flow throughout this land as you live in love as God wants. My Immaculate Heart will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and there will be an era of peace with all, and a spirit in their heart of the deepest love, men united in Our Hearts. This love begins with love in your hearts. Let your heart be filled with the love of Our Hearts.

10: Song: Let There be Peace on Earth

		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
