March 1st Holy Spirit Novena Scripture selection is Day 2 Period II.

The Novena Rosary Mysteries for March 1st are Joyful.

Join in 6:20 Prayers tonight on Radio.
They really sound good.
 

Please 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. 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!!!!

The Two Hearts and the Mass

Jesus: My beloved friend, tell My people that they are living in the Age of the Two Hearts - that of My Heart and Mary's heart. My people live in the initial stages of this great era. I call My people to take up their refuge in My Heart and My Mother's heart. In Our Hearts they will become more and more transformed into My likeness.

The greatest source for growth in devotion to Our Hearts is the Eucharist. I wish My people to attend Mass often, daily if possible. What a great gift I have given to My people in the Eucharist! Yet many of My people are indifferent to the treasures contained in the Mass. Think of it! My people are privileged to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass together with Me! And yet how many prefer to do other things rather than attend Mass. How this attitude offends My Sacred Heart!

I long for My people to participate in the Mass and to receive Me worthily! Think of it! I, Who am your God, long to come to you each day! In the Eucharist I come to you in My Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Present within you. I long to take you close to My Sacred Heart- this Heart which is truly within you. The more you allow Me to do so, the more closely I press you to this Heart. I shower you with its riches. I abundantly give you great graces which increasingly form you in My likeness.

I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words. Pray, pray for a deeper understanding of the Mass. In union with Mary, approach Me daily in the Eucharist. I, your God, long to come to you. How much do you long to receive Me?²⁷

 

Enthronement of My Sacred Heart

We are gathered here to honor our King, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is our most honored guest. He loves us so ardently and wants to be King of our home and King of our hearts. We all join together and most graciously welcome Him in our midst. We love You, dear Sacred Heart of Jesus. We honor You this day and are privileged that You, God, love us so much.

Please help us all grow in our knowledge and love of You. We honor You. We praise You. We adore You, and we love You.

We ask You to come and dwell in our hearts. As our King and the center of our lives, we forever want to be with You, most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we love You so much.

Come and be with every member of this family in a special way. Guard us in our undertakings. Dear Holy Spirit, lead us to the on-fire love of Jesus' Heart.

Mary, our most loving Mother, as you carried Jesus in your womb, you who cared for Him as a child, you who forever stood by Him and walked with Him on Calvary, you, dear Mary, as you stood under His cross and suffered so for love of Him and us, you who held His lifeless body under the cross, you who saw His glorified body after the resurrection and watched Him ascend into heaven, you, dear Mary, you who know this most Sacred, tender, loving Heart, place us so gently into His most Sacred Heart.

Protect and lead every person present and their families to this intense union with your Son. We pray for the priests the world over, Your special anointed sons, to lead all children to the love of Your most Sacred Heart.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus forever reign in the hearts of all people through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

We praise You, we honor You, our beloved Jesus. We tenderly love Your heart so!

Dear Father, thank You for Your beloved Son. Thank You for Your gifts to us. We thank You for giving us a sharing in Your divine life through baptism. We are Your beloved children. Draw us ever closer to union with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, in communion with the angels and saints. Amen.²⁸

 

Images of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Jesus: My beloved friend, tell My people that I desire them to have pictures or statues of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart in their homes. This will greatly help them to give honor to Our Hearts. All My churches and chapels should also have these images. I will bestow great blessings on all who heed My request. I am your Lord and Master. Please do as I ask.²⁹

 

Find Refuge in My Most Sacred Heart

Jesus: My Dear Child,

I bless your home in a special way. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary ever reign in your hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Please spread devotion to My most Sacred Heart. Tell people to hang pictures of My Sacred Heart and My Mother's heart throughout their homes. I will bless in a special way any home that hangs My picture and that of My Mother, her Immaculate Heart and My Sacred Heart.

Read the promises of the Sacred Heart to people and circulate them among your friends. Tell them to pray to us all through the day. Such devotion will be the key to your happiness now and in your everlasting life to come.

Tell people to carry pictures of My Sacred Heart and Mary's Immaculate Heart in their pockets and purses and to look at our pictures when praying to us. When you are having a difficult day, reach for our pictures and find refuge in My most Sacred Heart.

How deep is the love I and My Mother have for you? Our love is deeper than any human mind can imagine. Come into My Heart and be protected from all kinds of weather. The wind may blow and the fire of love may grow dim in your hearts, but it forever burns brightly when you are sheltered by My most Sacred Heart. If the wind blows and the rain comes, you will never lose the flame of My love if you have taken refuge in My most Sacred Heart.

Mary leads you to the closest union with Me. Go to Mary, see her, let her lead you deeply into My Heart. She loves you so. She is your most loving Mother. She is pure and tender of heart. It is through her you will experience such intimacy with Me. It is through her heart that you are lead to the deepest union with the one, triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I am your most Sacred Heart. I am Jesus, Son of God. I am a burning furnace of endless love, waiting to shelter you in My Heart. Come to Me, My beloved ones. I love you so.³⁰

(Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart)

 

Consecrate Your Churches, Home, and Workplace
to Our Hearts

Message given through to Rita Ring

Jesus: I want you to consecrate the human race to Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to be enthroned in all homes, churches, and businesses.

June is the month of the Sacred Heart. I want to be king and center of all hearts. I will keep My promises given to St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque. I promise all this from My most Sacred Heart. Consecrate your chapter to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Consecrate the church or room in which you hold your meeting.

Today is First Friday. I want you to circulate the message I gave to you on consecrating your homes to My Sacred Heart. Make booklets available for people to be able to consecrate their homes and businesses easily. Use the message I gave to you when you consecrated your home.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Consecrate all homes and businesses to Our Two Hearts. Tell all to have displayed and honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. May and June are the months of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all to consecrate their homes to Our Two Hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the 5th of May, 1995, First Friday, I request that you spend the next two months encouraging all to do this consecration.

Gather your friends and say the prayers I have instructed you to say. Sing "To Jesus Heart All Burning" and "Immaculate Mary." May these Two Hearts of love give all members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.

R. Jesus said He desires to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.

Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book messages. They promote this devotion. How My Heart is filled with happiness by the souls who come to the tabernacle and sit with Me. I am Jesus Christ, I wait and long and thirst for My precious souls to come. The souls of men have turned cold. I want souls to come to daily communion and be with Me in front of the tabernacle.

Men's hearts have turned cold. They do not know what love really means. I want hearts that are filled with fire for love of God. Men's hearts have turned to stone.

You are to promote devotion to My most Sacred Heart. I want hearts that burn with love for My Heart. It is through Me that you will know the Father's love. I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life.

Offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude, and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.

R. He promises great graces to those who give reparation to His Sacred Heart and who tell others about offering reparation to Him.

 

 

Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart

1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.

2. I will establish peace in their homes.

3. I will comfort them in their afflictions.

4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.

5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.

6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.

7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.

8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.

9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.

10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened of hearts.

11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.

12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

 

Excerpts from the Rosary August 6, 1996

The Ascension

4. R. On May 25th, 1995 on Ascension Thursday, Jesus called out, “I am alive. I am alive. I am alive.” In great ecstasy and in great suffering, I experienced these words of Jesus. Jesus is alive this day. In this same moment He said how Fr. Carter is to reach every soul with this message of His love. We are His apostles that He is sending into this world today in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to tell the world that He is alive. If you could have heard the words of Jesus and experienced the immense suffering in my insides to hear Him. Listen, Listen to the words. Picture Jesus calling out to us in this room, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!” If Jesus stood before us and called out to us, pleading to us to carry this message into the world, what would we do to help this world to know that God truly is calling out, and He is alive. The world has turned godless in many parts. We must listen to the words of our Savior and carry His message to the world that needs to hear this message.

5. Jesus: My beloved ones, I call to you this evening, My chosen and special ones that I have called in this room. Please, this is an urgent request. You do not know of the sufferings of men today, sufferings brought on by their own sinfulness. Will you carry this message into the world and tell the men that I am alive and that I want to live in their hearts.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

5. Jesus: You do not understand how important this plan is for so many souls this day and for future generations. I am your Jesus and I come to you, to surrender, to let go, to let go of all of your cares, and let Me take you by the hand into the light. This is My movement. It will proceed ahead. You must follow, follow Me, My beloved ones.

Sing: The Rosary Song - all of it

 
 
Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1. Matthew 28: 1-10

The empty tomb. The angel's message

After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to visit the sepulchre. And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat on it. His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow. The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men. But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, ‘There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay, then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him." Look! I have told you.’ Filled with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples.

Appearance to the women

And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. ‘Greetings,’ he said. And the women came up to him and, clasping his feet, they did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee; there they will see me.’

2. Jesus rose on the third day as He
    foretold.
3. God the Father created us and loves
    us and wants us to go home to heaven.
4. The reading on Easter said: “Seek the
    things that are above where Christ is
    seated at the right hand of the Father.”
5. Father Joe says: “Life, never stays
    the same, but the essentials of our
    faith continues to anchor us and call
    us to set our sites on what is ahead
    for us if we stay united with Christ.”
6. He continues: “Somehow God can
    draw good out of everything for
    those who love him. If we stay one
    with him, we shall one day share
    his glory. That is our hope, no matter
    what comes our way.”

7. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

8. Fr. Joe says: “Our faith tells us one
    person did indeed rise from the dead,
    Jesus Christ, and if it weren’t for his
    resurrection, we would never have
    heard of him.”
9. Jesus was a good and holy man, who
    was a wise teacher, and a powerful
    healer but, unlike, with other religious
    leaders, if it weren’t for Jesus’ actual
    resurrection, his followers would
    never have had the courage to preach
    about him to the world.

10. The Good News about the resurrection
    spread against all odds, persecution,
    heresy, sinful leadership, and a way of
    life that demanded unselfishness and
    self-sacrifice. This gave the promise of
    new life, eternal life, to those who heard
    the Good News, and believed in it. Their
    promise was a promise of risen life for
    those who are born again into Christ’s life.
    We hear from Paul "we were indeed
    buried with him through baptism into death,
    so that just as Christ was raised from the
    dead by the glory of the Father, we might
    live in newness of life." Romans 6:4.

 

The Ascension

1. Acts 1:1-11

In my earlier work, Theophilus, I dealt with everything Jesus had done and taught from the beginning until the day he gave his instructions to the apostles he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. He had shown himself alive to them after his Passion by many demonstrations: for forty days he had continued to appear to them and tell them about the kingdom of God. While at table with them, he had told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Father had promised. ‘It is’, he had said, ‘what you have heard me speak about: John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’

Now having met together, they asked him, ‘Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth’s remotest end.’

     As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them, and they said, ‘Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.’

2. "A cloud took Him out of sight."
3. Fr. Joe says the cloud tells us there
    is so much more, more than we can
    comprehend now.
4. The world of God, he says, will
    always be mysterious to us until we
    experience it ourselves.
5. What lies beyond that cloud?
6. Fr. Joe says: St. Paul says in the
    second reading: Jesus’ ascension
    took him "Far above every principality,
    authority, power and dominion and
    every name that is named not only in
    this age but also in the one to come."
    In other words, he is greater and
    more exalted than all of creation.
7. Fr. Joe says: Although he was always
    Son of God, now, even in his humanity,
    he is seated at the right hand of the
    Father in eternal glory.
8. It is a glory that is beyond anything
    we know at present, but hope to share
    with him someday.
9. Father Joe says when Jesus has
    finished the job, the Father had given
    him, he handed that job onto us.
10. One of the things Jesus said was:
    “Go, therefore, and make disciples of
    all nations.”
    But Jesus tells us in the last words of
    Matthew’s gospel “I am with you
    always.”
    Jesus is truly present with us in the
    Eucharist.
    Where Jesus has gone, is where he
    wants to bring us.
    At the Last Supper, He told us: “I am
    going to get a place ready for you and
    I will come back and take you with me
    so that where I am you also may be.”

 

The Descent of Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary

1. Acts 2: 1-4

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. 

2. Fr. Joe said "I would never have survived as long as I did, without the help of God‘s Holy Spirit. Most of the time I was not even aware that God’s Spirit was helping me. It’s somewhat like that story of the footprints in the sand. Only as I look back do I see the movement of the Spirit keeping me sane through difficult times, giving me ideas when I couldn’t think of the right thing to say, encouraging me when my situation was overwhelming, giving me courage when I was afraid, helping me to pray when my spiritual life seemed to go dry, giving me peace when I lacked it. No wonder Jesus calls the Spirit the “Paraclete,” a word which is hard to translate but which means something like: “advocate, mediator, helper, intercessor or comforter.”

3. These are the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

    Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
    Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
    and Fear of the Lord.

 4. Dear Holy Spirit: infuse in my intellect,
    the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, and
    understanding. Amen.

5. From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts

Come Holy Spirit, come, come into our hearts, inflame all people with the fire of Your love.

Leader: Send forth Your Spirit and all will be reborn.
All:  And You will renew the face of the earth.

We pray for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, we ask for perfection in our souls to make us holy, holy souls likened to God.

Dear Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You soul and body. We ask You to give us the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.

6. Pray for the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

7. The fruits of the Holy Spirit are:
        charity, joy, peace, patience,
        benignity (kindness), goodness,
        long-suffering, mildness,
        faith, modesty, continency,
        and chastity

8. Sing: Come Holy Spirit

9. Fr. Joe says: The fruits of the Spirit we hear about in the letter to the Galatians (second reading on Pentecost). They tend to be personal qualities such as love, joy, peace, patience, (kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control). The gifts of the Spirit include some personal talents but they tend to be more oriented toward building up the community of believers such as the gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, fear of the Lord, as well as the gifts of healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment of spirit, speaking or praying in tongues, interpretation of tongues, teaching, pastoring, and a whole lot of other ways to help us in our ministry to one another. In speaking of the gifts, we cannot forget the greatest of the Spirit’s gifts which we often hear about at a wedding. St. Paul tells us the greatest of all the Spirit’s gifts is love. St. Augustine, in trying to help us to know for sure whether the Spirit dwells in us, said: “Ask your inner self, if you are full of charity, you have the Spirit of God.” (I Believe in the Holy Spirit, vol. 2, pg 82)

10. Sing: Come Holy Ghost

 

The Assumption

1. Mary was taken, body and soul into
    heaven.

2. From Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word

The Assumption tells us that God is not only concerned about our souls but also about our bodies. They are temples of the Spirit. They are part of who we are, and so the feast of the Assumption is a feast that celebrates who we shall be.

3. In the Assumption Mary is fully united with her son in glory. She remains his mother. He remains her son. Cardinal Suenens once said, “Jesus does not point out Mary and say, ‘She used to be my mother.’” Not only is she Jesus’ mother, she is our mother too, for on Calvary Jesus gave her to us to be our mother. “Woman, behold your son,” he said to her and to St. John, who was a representative of all disciples, Jesus said “Behold your mother.” We know and believe that Mary is concerned about our salvation.

4. We expect Mary to help us and we pray to her. Protestants sometimes have trouble with this idea of praying to Mary. Jesus is our savior and we all believe that. But Protestants believe we should pray for one another. If we can ask others to pray for us and
we pray for them, why can’t those in heaven also pray for us? Are we now so separated from those who have died so that they no longer can help us or be concerned about us?

5. Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet

 

6. In addition to the Arc of the Covenant being a symbol for Mary, there is an another way in which today’s first reading connects with today’s feast. In Christian literature, especially in the book of Revelation, Jerusalem symbolizes our heavenly home. Thus, the Ark being taken to Jerusalem symbolized Mary being taken body and soul into the heavenly kingdom.

7. Sing: Immaculate Mary

8. Sing: Our Lady of Clearwater

9. Sing: Ave, Maria the simple one

10. Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth.
    Jesus is King of Heaven and Earth.

 

The Queenship of Mary

1. Sing: Hail Holy Queen

2. From Mother at Our Side by Fr. Carter, S.J. - Chapter 7

Our consecration to Christ and Mary means that we always strive to entrust ourselves totally to Them. And as we grow in this spirit of entrustment, we grow in the realization of what it means to be led by Jesus and Mary in the Spirit. We also grow in the desire to be so led.

3. One of the most difficult tasks in the spiritual life is to engage in the process of letting go. There is something in us which wants to remain in control. We must remember, however, that growth in the spiritual life means increased abandonment to God in Christ.

4. God has given us Mary as our spiritual mother to help us grow in abandonment. As we more and more entrust ourselves to the Immaculate Heart, Mary increasingly aids in leading us to closer union with the Heart of Christ—to an increased abandonment to Christ.

5. We have to have goals in the spiritual life. We have to schedule our spiritual exercises. We have to make plans for our ministry—for our services to others in the Lord. We must plan to try to make the best use of our time.

6. But we must do these things with the overall attitude of allowing Christ and Mary to guide us in the Spirit. We make plans with the understanding that Christian prudence asks this of us. We do not map things out in order to be in control in a way which goes against entrusting ourselves to Christ and Mary. When it becomes clear that Christ and our Mother want us to make changes in what we have planned, we must ask for the grace to be spiritually free—to once again abandon ourselves to Jesus and Mary and allow Them to lead us anew in the Holy Spirit.

7. Revelation 12-1-2

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

9. Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

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

10. Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

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

Sing: Our Lady of Clearwater

		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
