                R. God called Jeremiah to speak.
                Jeremiah attempted to deliver
                    messages to Zedekiah
                    in the face of bitter
                    opposition –

                There was a false prophet Hananiah
                    that told the King what he
                    wanted to hear.

                Jesus speaks:
                    "I am the way, the truth and the life"

                R. Nebuchadnezzar took over.

                Jerusalem was destroyed 587 BC

                Listen to Jeremiah 1: 4-10

Jeremiah 1: 4-10   

The call of Jeremiah

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying:

 ‘Before I formed you in the womb
     I knew you;
  before you came to birth 
     I consecrated you; 
  I appointed you as prophet to the nations.’

  I then said, ‘Ah, ah, ah, Lord Yahweh;
you see, I do not know how to speak: I am only a child!’

  But Yahweh replied,
‘Do not say, "I am only a child,"
 for you must go to all to whom I send you
 and say whatever I command you.
 Do not be afraid of confronting them,
 for I am with you to rescue you,
 Yahweh declares.’

  Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and touched my mouth,
and Yahweh said to me:

  ‘There! I have put my words
      into your mouth.
    Look, today I have set you 
   over the nations and kingdoms,
   to uproot and to knock down,
   to destroy and to overthrow,
   to build and to plant.’
 

                R. Jeremiah was called to be a prophet before
                    his birth.

 

Jeremiah 31: 31-34

‘Look, the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when I shall make a new covenant with the House of Israel (and the House of Judah), but not like the covenant I made with their ancestors the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt, a covenant which they broke, even though I was their Master, Yahweh declares. No, this is the covenant I shall make with the House of Israel when those days have come, Yahweh declares. Within them I shall plant my Law, writing it on their hearts. Then I shall be their God and they will be my people. There will be no further need for everyone to teach neighbour or brother, saying, "Learn to know Yahweh!" No, they will all know me, from the least to the greatest, Yahweh declares, since I shall forgive their guilt and never more call their sin to mind.’

 

                R. Jeremiah's teachings were very important
                    after his death.

                Jeremiah received words in his mouth.

                Jeremiah was called in youth –
                Jeremiah said he was only a boy.

                God made a covenant with His
                    people –

                Israel broke the Covenant often.

                Jeremiah told them to mend their
                    ways.

                Baruch was his secretary.

                Jeremiah told them of their
                    offenses against God.

                They did not listen to Jeremiah,
                    they persecuted him and
                    did their own will.

                Jeremiah was beaten – no one
                    defended him.

                The false prophet deceived them.

                They rebelled against God and
                    acted like God did not
                    see or hear.

                Jesus is the Good Shepherd
                    He leads His sheep.

 

 

                R. They said,
                why would God send a prophet
                    from the wilderness when
                    the King is surrounded by
                    schooled priests?

                God picks the lowly – those
                    He knows will serve
                    Him and not rebel against
                    Him –
                    not be guilty of lies –

                Jeremiah did God's will –

                He served God no matter
                    how he suffered –

                Jeremiah did God's will –

                Jeremiah suffered tremendously
                    at the hands of those who
                    wanted him silenced.

                Remember Joseph's brothers
                    how he was sold to
                    slavery for 20 pieces
                    of silver –

                Jerusalem was destroyed
                    as Jeremiah prophesized.

                Men should not do what is opposed
                    to God's will –

                God is in charge – ALWAYS

                Jeremiah suffered for delivering
                    the truth of God –

                Jeremiah's teachings were used
                    after his death –

                Jeremiah didn't understand
                    how God could let
                    him be overtaken by the
                    enemies –

                Jeremiah spoke the truth –
                    still the King was
                    arrogant to Jeremiah
                    because after he saw
                    Jeremiah's prophesies
                    came true –
                he wanted Jeremiah to fix things
                    when they disobeyed God –

                Jeremiah said turn to God, but
                    he was still punished for
                    the King did not want
                    the truth

                Jeremiah was called the traitor
                    for doing God's will –

                In the end:
                The just man will find the
                    favor of the Lord – 

Matthew 5: 11-12

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and
speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this
is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

 

                R. God made a Covenant with His
                    people –

                Jeremiah was beaten –

                The Babylons took over –

                They didn't want to do
                    what Jeremiah said –

                Jeremiah was lowered into
                    a pit for telling the
                    truth –

                The men who persecuted him
                    were taken out because
                    of their willfulness –

                They lowered Jeremiah into a
                    cistern to die a slow
                    death –

                They did not even see the
                    wrath of God would come
                    upon them –

                Jeremiah risked his life to
                    give yet a last message
                    to the King –

                Jeremiah spoke the truth –

                The people worshipped false
                    gods

                Because they would not listen –
                    God attended to them for
                    their evil –

                They were told to surrender –
                    the King did not want to
                    be a slave, so he would
                    not surrender –

                The King was weak – he would
                    not listen

                The King suffered the fate
                    Jeremiah prophesized –

                True Wisdom

                Read Jeremiah 17: 5-18

 

Proverbs 3: 5-12

Trust wholeheartedly in Yahweh,
    put no faith in your own perception;
 

acknowledge him in every course you take,
    and he will see that your paths are smooth.

Do not congratulate yourself on your own wisdom,
    fear Yahweh and turn your back on evil:

health-giving, this, to your body,
    relief to your bones.

Honour Yahweh with what goods you have
    and with the first-fruits of all your produce;

then your barns will be filled with corn,
    your vats overflowing with new wine.

My child, do not scorn correction from Yahweh,
    do not resent his reproof;

for Yahweh reproves those he loves,
    as a father the child whom he loves.

 

Romans 12: 19  

Never try to get revenge: leave that, my dear friends, to the Retribution. As scripture says: Vengeance is mine—I will pay them back, the Lord promises.

 

  2 Corinthians 4: 18

since what we aim for is not visible but invisible. Visible things are transitory, but invisible things eternal.

 

Matthew 4: 1-11

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the test by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry, and the tester came and said to him, ‘If you are Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves.’ But he replied, ‘Scripture says: 

    Human beings live not on bread alone 
    but on every word 
        that comes from the mouth of God.’ 

The devil then took him to the holy city and set him on the parapet of the Temple. ‘If you are Son of God,’ he said, ‘throw yourself down; for scripture says: 

    He has given his angels orders about you, 
    and they will carry you in their arms 
    in case you trip over a stone.’ 

Jesus said to him, ‘Scripture also says: 

    Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ 

Next, taking him to a very high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. And he said to him, ‘I will give you all these, if you fall at my feet and do me homage.’ Then Jesus replied, ‘Away with you, Satan! For scripture says: 

    The Lord your God is the one 
        to whom you must do homage, 
    him alone you must serve.’ 

Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels appeared and looked after him.

       

 

                March 13, 2014

                R. God created us for love –
                Relationship with God – with others
                    with ourselves –

                God gave us a family to learn about
                    relationship – He has it set
                    so a child comes from a father and
                    mother –

                God has it so, that, then we must learn
                    to relate to another family system
                    to marry –

                Children are a blessing from living
                    in relationship with God
                    as Creator,
                Man and woman – parents of a child
                    co-creator –
                God wants unity –

                We see the rupture of relationships,
                    not as God intended, in the family.

                The love God intended in marriage
                    only between man and woman
                    has turned to immorality and for
                    sexual pleasures. This has threatened
                    the basic family unit.

                Every message I have gotten is toward loving
                    according to God's will –
                    Being in one mind and one heart in the
                    Hearts of the New Adam and New Eve.

                Being in the will of God in love brings
                    unity - not division.

                The sin of Adam and Eve brought disorder,
                    disharmony,
 

Romans 8: 5-9

Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

   

                R. God told men and women to increase and multiply –
                Jesus gave us the Gospel to know about
                    Covenant Love – Commitment,
                    relationship –

                The Church is the Spouse of Christ
                    he compares this to the love a
                    man has for his wife –
 

Ephesians 5: 21-33

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord, since, as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church is subject to Christ, so should wives be to their husbands, in everything. Husbands should love their wives, just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy by washing her in cleansing water with a form of words, so that when he took the Church to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless. In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself. A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because we are parts of his Body. This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and the two become one flesh. This mystery has great significance, but I am applying it to Christ and the Church. To sum up: you also, each one of you, must love his wife as he loves himself; and let every wife respect her husband.

  

                R. We see the devil works on vocations
                    commitment to marriage
                    commitment to religious life

                It is God's will we live in relationships –
                    we are to walk hand-in-hand –

                First in the family –

                Then to branch out – relationships with others.

                The core is the family –

                Babies need care –

                God made it that way –

                It is God's Plan the family care for the child
                    they bring into the world.

                Babies can't care for themselves.

                The first bonds of love are taught
                    in the family –

                The devil has attacked commitment, vocations.

                The family unit suffers from forces
                    on the outside –
                    The sports, an individual mentality,
                        are influences against the family.

                    I will tell the frog story –

                    If a frog is put in boiling water
                        he will jump out –

                    However if he is put in warm
                        water and it is heated slowly to boiling he will
                        stay in and die –

                Does the State, the Government encourage
                    family programs?

                The market place presses on the family to
                    work to consume products –

                More and more technology focuses on
                    the individualistic mentality of
                    getting ahead – proving oneself
                    in competition to others –
                    not working for unity in one's
                    unique role and purpose given by God to
                    help build the Kingdom of God –

                Because of imperfections, dysfunctions
                    in the family tree –

                God has asked us, this month to pray for
                    healing of these relationships
                    damaged by the relationships
                    of the family tree –

                We see how God formed His people
                    in the Old Testament – How he called
                    leaders Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph,
                    Moses and it was their lives
                    given in faith that formed God's people,
                    their love and faithfulness to the
                    one true God –

                Christ came and gave us the Church,
                    the body of Christ –

                The Body of Christ – so united as a
                    body with Christ the head –

                We are given the sacraments –

                Through His pierced Heart the Church was
                    born.

                Blood and water came forth –

                Water a symbol of baptism – in which we
                    receive a sharing in His life –

                Blood for the Eucharist, by which He
                    feeds this life –

                Confession to keep our souls clean –

                Confirmation to strengthen us –

                Marriage – for a man and woman to
                    give themselves in love to
                    each other and God and to
                    propagate the earth –
                    the basic family unit –
                    like a little Church –

 

Ephesians 5: 21-33

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord, since, as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church is subject to Christ, so should wives be to their husbands, in everything. Husbands should love their wives, just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy by washing her in cleansing water with a form of words, so that when he took the Church to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless. In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself. A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because we are parts of his Body. This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and the two become one flesh. This mystery has great significance, but I am applying it to Christ and the Church. To sum up: you also, each one of you, must love his wife as he loves himself; and let every wife respect her husband.

 

                R. Holy Orders – where by God gives us
                    His priests

                Extreme Unction – Sacrament of the Sick

                God created us to love –

                He wants relationships

                Jesus wants unity all over the earth –

                The Church united can help lift up
                    the people of the world to
                    strength the whole world –

                God has given us the Shepherds of Christ Prayers
                    to pray for the priests, the Church
                    and the world – to
                    bring strengthen and unity to
                    this troubled world –

   

1 Corinthians 3: 9-13, 16-17

After all, we do share in God’s work; you are God’s farm, God’s building.

By the grace of God which was given to me, I laid the foundations like a trained master–builder, and someone else is building on them. Now each one must be careful how he does the building. For nobody can lay down any other foundation than the one which is there already, namely Jesus Christ. On this foundation, different people may build in gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw but each person’s handiwork will be shown for what it is. The Day which dawns in fire will make it clear and the fire itself will test the quality of each person’s work.

Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you? If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy; and you are that temple.  

   

                R. But the devil can attack the
                    Church, the family, the schools –

                The devil can attack commitment
                    to one's vocation –

                Vocation is a calling from God –
                    in which the person says
                    "yes" to God - like
                    Mary said "yes" –
                    Mary the perfect handmaid of
                        the Lord –
                    Mary said "yes" to everything
                        that was God's will –

                Mary lived God's will –

                Mary the New Eve –

                Eve wanted her will – Eve wanted to be
                    equal to God – Eve was doing her will,
                    focused on herself – full of pride!
                    Mary lived by the Father's Plan,
                    Mary did all God called her to do –
                    Mary is our model –

                Relationship –

                We are to be open to God

 

Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

e) Relationship with Members of the Church

There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church’s existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.

The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.

The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in God’s own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.

This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14 And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.

The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15 The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16

The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.

Not only can we be aided by the saints’ intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.17

                R. Our whole life is to learn to love –
                    not promote ourselves –

                Because of wounding in the family –
                    with dysfunction – imperfect
                    parents, brothers, sisters –
                    we have wounds in relationships
                    concerning love, truth –

                We are to reach full Christian maturity
                    in Christ –

                We must open ourselves to His will
                    for our lives –

                We want to be in His will –

                In His will we are happy –
                In His will we are as the Father
                    uniquely intended us to be –

                We are in need of healing –

                The very thing we need to heal from the
                    devil gets in and tries to tell us
                    we are perfect, be prideful,
                    don't let anybody tell you
                    anything – so we are like
                    a soul in stagnant waters –
                    We can hold onto vices, jealousies,
                    prideful habits, envy, anger
                    (suppressed and known) slothfulness,
                    lust, gluttony that block spiritual
                    growth.

                We are here to grow – we change all day
                    in our lives.

                Being stuck in a stagnant bucket, thinking
                    we have arrived is working against
                    the Plan of the Father for us to
                    reach full Christian maturity.
                    Trying to prove we know-it-all
                    is the mentality of one whose
                    purpose in life is to show
                    men, they are something they are
                    not.

                The gifts we have, the talents are
                    gifts from God, why should
                    we boast as if we acquired
                    them for our own recognition.

 

1 Corinthians 4: 7-8

Who made you so important? What have you got that was not given to you? And if it was given to you, why are you boasting as though it were your own? You already have everything—you are rich already—you have come into your kingdom, without any help from us! Well, I wish you were kings and we could be kings with you!

     

                R. Love is a theological virtue,
                    if we are loving it is
                    because he has given us the
                    grace to be a great lover
                    even though we co-operate with
                    His grace – we must thank Him
                    for the gift He has given us.

                We can be foolish, focusing our whole
                    life on ourselves and trying to
                    prove to men – we are great –

                We are great – God created us and He has
                    a plan – instead of focusing
                    on our glory – get off the
                    throne and give the glory to God –
                    live in His Plan –

                Satan is a manipulator, satan works on
                    our weaknesses – pride, seeing ourselves
                    through distorted vision because we
                    listen to him. We are in need of
                    throwing our masks away and facing
                    our weaknesses so we can grow in
                    the image and likeness of Christ, like
                    we were created to be. To focus
                    our lives on the truth about our
                    weaknesses and praying for the healing,
                    praying for healing of the Family
                    tree.

                Division in our hearts is opposed to
                    the Father's Plan for us.

                The Blue Books are letters from God
                    to teach us about love. God is
                    the Source of love and we need
                    to be healed –

God Calls Us to Love

John 13:34

I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

Messenger: Dear Jesus, I stand at the door of Your Heart and knock to come in. I want entry - to be lost totally and entirely in Thee. I want to be sheltered inside of Your Heart and wrapped deeply in Your infinite love.

Jesus: I call you, child, to love. Love is rooted in Me. I gave My all for love of you. I held nothing back. Love gives freely for the good of the other. Love exists to draw the other closer to God. If your relationship with your brother in anyway separates you from God, it is not love.

    Love is not haughty, love does not demand its own way, love exists to lead the other to closer union with Me. I loved you to My death. I gave to you My all! I ask you to give your all for your beloved brothers. In loving them, you are loving Me. I live in your brothers. How can you love Me who you do not see, if you do not love your brother who you see.

    I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life. I give that you will know Me and know how to love one another. Love your brothers as I have loved you. When they persecute you and holler every evil word against you, love them. This is My way - to lay down My life for My friends.

John 13:34

I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.

Messenger: And to those who heeded His words, their lives were lived in peace and love and they experienced joy in their hearts, for true love brings peace and true love gives joy to the heart of the beholder. It is in loving that you receive, it is in giving that you are rendered to and it is in following the way of Christ that we are led into a life of everlasting happiness.

Jesus: I have not gone. I live with you this day. I am in your brothers. Love them as I have loved you.

Messenger: And He sent them such blessings in such abundance and  they knew a little of His unending mercy and love.

 

October 1, 1994

I Feed the Hungry Soul

Jesus: Another person cannot feed your hungry soul. You search, you seek. Your starved soul craves only that which I can give. When your heart is searching for love, come, My sweet dear child, into My Heart. My Mother will take you to the deepest recesses of My Heart. There you will know such comfort - in My Heart on fire for love of you this day.

    You are a child of dignity. You are precious to Me. You are the creation of the Father. I gave the last drop of My blood for you. This is love - you need grace to realize the immenseness of God's love. You are so special to God, all three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mary loves you so much.

    You can never be satisfied on this earth. If you find the dearest mother, father, lover, friend, they will not fill you with the love your soul craves. To find Me is to seek Me. You will not be satisfied on this earth.

    You, My child, experience longing for My intense love. I love you to want Me. This is how I long for love of each precious soul. I long for them with the most tender Heart, beating and breathing with fire. I never falter. I never grow dim. I am the same, with the same burning love. Come to Me and jump into My precious Heart. I love you so much.

 

October 2, 1994

You Are the Father’s Creation

Jesus: I come to you in one another. Let not your hearts be hard, let your hearts be as little children, tender and pure. They do not hold grudges, they love each other, they love themselves.

    You are the creation of My beloved Father. You were created with such dignity and love. I died for you. I gave My life that you would share My life. Oh, My child, pray to the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, to let you see where you are blind, to open your hearts to the ways of God. Pray to Him to sanctify you.

    You are called to be Christ to one another. Your hearts have turned hard. Your ways are not My ways. My way is always to love. My ways are to give. My ways are to see in your brother the creation of the Father, so beautiful, so uniquely created.

    Each child is a gift from God to this world. Each child is a gift of unique love, given by the Father. You were uniquely created. You are so loved. Pray to know your specialness to God. It is in realizing His love for you that you will love your brothers.

Messenger: We are all brothers in Christ. God is our Father. We are all one.

Jesus: Join, My little ones, in such love. It is in loving that you will be at peace. Love of each other creates joy in your hearts. Pray for the grace to know and love God more. It is in this knowledge and God's love that you will be My light that shines in the darkest night.

    I am the Way, I am the Truth. I am the Life! To live in Me you must come to know and love Me. Follow My ways. My ways are the ways of truth. My ways are not always the easy way, they are the ways of love.

    If you are to be joined in your hearts, you must love every man. Every man is your brother. You must put on Christ in all your ways. Would Christ act as you are acting?

    I love you so much. It is in meditating on My love for you that you will love your brothers.

    I put you on this earth to love one another. Pray to the Spirit to know My ways. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I truly come to bring you new life. It is in Me you will have the light of life. I love you so, the Father loves you so, the Spirit wants to live in your hearts and make you alive with the love of God. Pray to Mary to lead you through her loving heart into such love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    My child, come to My ever burning Heart. I do not love you one moment and forget you the next. I am forever burning brightly for you. I never falter. I am forever on fire for love of you. If you forget Me, I never ever forget you, I love you so much.

                end of excerpt

 

                R. The Blue Books are teaching us about
                    relationships as God wants us to have –
                    with Him, with others, with ourselves –

                Sin not only ruptures our relationship
                    with God, but with ourselves and others.
                    We contribute to the sin in the
                    world – where we could have
                    helped lift up others in love.

   

                Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. - Chapter 6

SIX    The Christian and Sin (excerpt)

  1. The Nature of Sin

What is the nature of sin? Contemporary theology emphasizes that sin is not primarily a violation of a law, but a disruption of personal relationships. Sin is a refusal to love. Serious sin is a radical refusal to love. Venial sin is a partial refusal to love. 

end of excerpt

   

                R. We are to seek the truth and live in the
                    truth.

                Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

                Satan is the father of lies –
                Satan is the father of deception, manipulation –
                    selfishness.

                What is our focus –
                    ourselves or God's will?

                Do we live to manipulate things
                    to our will – even
                    present a false picture to others
                    to manipulate things the way
                    we want – not even focusing on
                    God's will and opposing His will –

   

Shepherds of Christ Priestly Newsletter 2000 Issue 3

The Father's Will for Us - Our Source of Peace

Pope John Paul II instructs us: "The Church, as a reconciled and reconciling community, cannot forget that at the source of her gift and mission of reconciliation is the initiative, full of compassionate love and mercy, of that God who is love (see 1 John 4:8) and who out of love created human beings (see Wisdom 11:23-26; Genesis 1:27: Psalms 8:4-8)…He created them so that they might live in friendship with Him and in communion with one another.

"God is faithful to His eternal plan even when man, under the impulse of the evil one (see Wisdom 2:24) and carried away by his own pride, abuses the freedom given to him in order to love and generously seek what is good, and (instead) refuses to obey his Lord and Father. God is faithful even when man, instead of responding with love to God’s love, opposes Him and treats Him like a rival, deluding himself and relying on his own power, with the resulting break of relationship with the One who created him. In spite of this transgression on man’s part, God remains faithful in love.

"It is certainly true that the story of the Garden of Eden makes us think about the tragic consequences of rejecting the Father, which becomes evident in man’s inner disorder and in the breakdown of harmony between man and woman, brother and brother (see Genesis 3:12 ff; 4:1-16). Also significant is the Gospel parable of the two brothers (the parable of the ‘prodigal son’; see Luke 15:11-32) who, in different ways, distance themselves from their father and cause a rift between them. Refusal of God’s fatherly love and of His loving gifts is always at the root of humanity’s divisions.

"But we know that God…like the father in the parable (of the prodigal son), does not close His heart to any of His children. He waits for them, looks for them, goes to meet them at the place where the refusal of communion imprisons them in isolation and division. He calls them to gather about His table in the joy of the feast of forgiveness and reconciliation.

"This initiative on God’s part is made concrete and manifest in the redemptive act of Christ, which radiates through the world by means of the ministry of the Church." 13

13. Pope John Paul II, as in Celebrate 2000!, Servant Publications, pp. 140-141.
 

                R. God intends us to support life –

                There should be respect and love for
                    the elderly and the babies in
                    the womb –

                There can be relationship as one
                    among generations –
                    love for God's will

                Relationship is the key –

                Relationship in community – genuine
                    love from, the heart – not focused
                    on myself and making me look good –
                    love in country
                    love in the world –
                    love and unity with souls in
                    heaven and purgatory

                Consecration in one mind and one heart
                    with the Heart of Jesus and Mary
                    brings this unity.

                Song: Give me Your Heart Oh Jesus,
                        Give me a Heart like Yours

                We pray for the priests and
                    the whole human family
                    as Jesus has asked us.

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

Audio CD - Read by Father Edward J. Carter
$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. 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
