Readings from yesterday
Israel, come back to Yahweh your God
your guilt was the cause of your downfall.
Provide yourself with words
and come back to Yahweh.
Say to him, Take all guilt away
and give us what is good,
instead of bulls we will dedicate to you
our lips.
Assyria cannot save us,
we will not ride horses any more,
or say, Our God!
to our own handiwork,
for you are the one
in whom orphans find compassion.I shall cure them of their disloyalty,
I shall love them with all my heart,
for my anger has turned away from them.
I shall fall like dew on Israel,
he will bloom like the lily
and thrust out roots
like the cedar of Lebanon;
he will put out new shoots,
he will have the beauty of the olive tree
and the fragrance of Lebanon.
They will come back to live in my shade;
they will grow wheat again,
they will make the vine flourish,
their wine will be as famous as Lebanons.
What has Ephraim to do with idols
any more
when I hear him and watch over him?
I am like an evergreen cypress,
you owe your fruitfulness to me.Concluding admonition
Let the wise understand these words,
let the intelligent grasp their meaning,
for Yahwehs ways are straight
and the upright will walk in them,
but sinners will stumble.
Psalm 81: 6-11, 14, 17
'I freed his shoulder from the burden,
his hands were able to lay aside the labourer's basket.
You cried out in your distress, so I rescued you.'Hidden in the storm, I answered you,
I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Pause
Listen, my people, while I give you warning;
Israel, if only you would listen to me!'You shall have no strange gods,
shall worship no alien god.
I, Yahweh, am your God,
who brought you here from Egypt,
you have only to open your mouth for me to fill it.'My people would not listen to me,
Israel would have none of me.at one stroke I would subdue their enemies,
turn my hand against their opponents.
Mark 12: 28b - 34
One of the scribes who had listened to them debating appreciated that Jesus had given a good answer and put a further question to him, Which is the first of all the commandments? Jesus replied, This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one, only Lord, and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You must love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. The scribe said to him, Well spoken, Master; what you have said is true, that he is one and there is no other. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself, this is far more important than any burnt offering or sacrifice. Jesus, seeing how wisely he had spoken, said, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And after that no one dared to question him any more.
Song: A Song from Jesus
Song: In My Heart
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

R. St. Patrick's Day
Lord have mercy on us we
have sinned
Jesus is our King
Oh God help us to be renewed
Thanks to God for all
His gifts to us
Proclaim God's marvelous
deeds to all the earth
I call upon God to hear my
prayer to answer Me for
I am your servant, Lord
Proclaim God's marvelous deeds
Oh God thank You for all You
have given to me
Oh Lord hear my prayer
outpour your grace
to me
1 Peter 4: 7-13
The end of all things is near, so keep your minds calm and sober for prayer. Above all preserve an intense love for each other, since love covers over many a sin. Welcome each other into your houses without grumbling. Each one of you has received a special grace, so, like good stewards responsible for all these varied graces of God, put it at the service of others. If anyone is a speaker, let it be as the words of God, if anyone serves, let it be as in strength granted by God; so that in everything God may receive the glory, through Jesus Christ, since to him alone belong all glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.
R. Praise to God I love You, God
Glory to You God
We love You
We worship You
Luke 18: 9-11
He spoke the following parable to some people who prided themselves on being upright and despised everyone else, Two men went up to the Temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood there and said this prayer to himself, "I thank you, God, that I am not grasping, unjust, adulterous like everyone else, and particularly that I am not like this tax collector here. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes on all I get." The tax collector stood some distance away, not daring even to raise his eyes to heaven; but he beat his breast and said, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." This man, I tell you, went home again justified; the other did not. For everyone who raises himself up will be humbled, but anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.
R. All communities start with
a few
From Adam and Eve came all
these people
God told Adam and Eve to increase
and multiply
There have been love and unity and
wars and division among men
And if a community is still existing
we want it to be a community
in love of God
Not an evil community brought
out of hatred or anarchy
or selfishness
We are challenged to give of ourselves
as we meditate on what Jesus
did for us, in giving Himself
to bring the life of resurrection
to us
It is unity and love God wants
It is leaders that defend the faith
that live by the truth that God
wants
It is Mary who appeared as Our Lady of Clearwater
in Florida calling us to purity
and praying with her as our
Immaculate Spiritual Mother

Jesus: Oh My child
a man who bullies is a man
hurting himself, another and
the community
A means of trying to control
is striking fear in
people for a person's own
vain control
Holding out and then using silence
lack of communication
hopelessness over just
doing what one needs for existence
Striking fear, threatening people's
homes, businesses for
vain power-over
Addiction to power can be as
addiction for a person as addiction
to sex, alcohol etc.
A person can be addicted to
excitement in using violence
and abuse to keep things unresolved
in turmoil, having a war, a cold silent war,
division for a person seeking power-over
or several seeking vain
power-over and control.
ABUSE
Threatening others with what they
need for life.
For their own need of addiction
to control and to have power
A person serving others, serving God
wants a solution to build God's Kingdom
The evil one can press on an abuser
who is triggered to
go into a routine to threaten
a routine to provoke with
the intention of making
the just man so provoked by
measures to lose control
The reward for the abuser is when they have abused
to have a climax, where they provoke
abuse to a just-man to try to make the
other lose control
Then the abuser can walk away with clean hands
and say "Look at him"
PASSIVE - AGGRESSIVE ATTACK
This is the abusers reward to have
power-over and joy of
punishing just-authority power-over,
the abuser wanting to abuse, provoke to
have a climax to make the
innocent person, the just-man
lose control at their hands.
The abuser has a reward then of
power: watching the others trying to make the other
fall apart and, the abuser
then can go through the honey-moon
cycle
The
abuser says "I will be good
I am sorry "
But they got a climax trying to provoke the
other to lose control!
The innocent believe they are contrite!
HONEY-MOON CYCLE
This lasts about 24-48 hours
(this becomes shorter and shorter as abuse
grows more and more advanced)
Then the abuse cycle begins again
The abuser holding out, provoking
until they get another climax
(Red Fog, Silence, Anger, War)
The abuser doesn't intend to change
he is addicted to power, abuse,
control and he wants this
excitement to feel
to watch another lose control
at their hands
He does what he can to make the climax
worse and worse
An abuser doesn't change unless he wants to
They keep working the cycle
Being addicted to power and
control becomes worse and
worse
To try to make others lose control
the stakes they use become
more and more threatening and evil
Most of their life is used in
holding out to get the other
to be under their power
The honey-moon cycle becomes less and less
Advanced abusers can skip a honey-moon
cycle - entirely
they never come clean
They are addicted like one to alcohol,
drugs, sex
Life for the abuser becomes a
pretense on the outside
acting like they are normal,
clean cut, nice, oh they are so nice
Inside holding someone they
abuse at bay, with this cycle of abuse
treating them with disgust and disrespect
lying to themselves for power
and control telling themselves
they deserve to abuse,
control and have power
They justify they own this right to
control and abuse the other,
the group!
I created men in My image and likeness
The purpose of each man's life is
a unique purpose to contribute
to the plan of salvation
Working uniquely in unity
A person who is justifying they can
abuse others for power and control
will not change unless they
work under My rules of love and the
respect I want them to give to their neighbors
Who is the abuser!
They are people who are addicted to
power and control against God's
will They have rebelled
They have not loved themselves or they
would not abuse others
The purpose of one's life is to
love God above all things
Like all addictions, a person, addicted
to power has a trigger
why they drink,
why they abuse,
why they give into sex outside of marriage
they are triggered and
they give into a routine and
there is a pleasure they receive
these have become very
bad habits
There is a routine, they lie to themselves
about what they are doing
And there is a reward they have
an abuser wants the other to
lose control, they get
a high, a sadistic feeling
of winning over
Satan is in this evil
The abuser in earlier stages
seek the honey-moon cycle
they want to be forgiven and
Give the "I'm sorry cycle"
"The false promises"
As soon as they are forgiven
by the person abused
They begin the same cycle
again
Provoking to build the next
climax that becomes more
and more vicious to
act this way toward his brother
The abuser is addicted to this
cycle and is not at peace
Their constant state is
turmoil, division,
anger, jealousy,
envy, power, control toward the person abused.
They seek power-over for
powers sake and vain control
R. A person can be helped with addictions
using a 12 step-program.
Alanon
Alcoholics Anonymous
Drug Addicts
12 step programs will tell you about the word HALT.
A person can be triggered for any of the following
When
HALT (1) they are Hungry
(2) they are Angry
(3) they are Lonely
(4) they are Tired
It is a roller coaster
to live with an abuser who
directs their anger on another
The red fog of the abuser can
become so thick from them
holding out in power
against people who need
things they hold out on
Silence - things they need to live,
to exist, to operate
Information is held for power-over
Information is used to threaten those
needing things to exist
A person who is the bread-winner
of a family can deprive the
others in the family of funds
use this abuse cycle to control,
have power over
Inside the abuser in their
past life probably have been
abused, may have lost power,
they can be afraid of abandonment
They are angry and working it out on a victim
So they seek abuse of others
to control punish, hold back
Merry-go-round of denial
Power-over person and they use it
It is My commandment to love
I command you to love!!
September 4, 2004
Jesus: They abused Me and put Me to death
They whipped Me
They said they had power,
but power comes from God
not from unloving, sick,
power seeking men.
They whipped Me
Stripped Me of My garments and
Crowned Me with thorns
They put Me to death
Jesus: They crucified Peter up-side down
They cut off Paul's head
They cut off the head of John the Baptist
St. Thomas More lost his head
All of these martyrs speak to
you today
The abusers
you do not know
The Church was strengthened
by the blood of the
saints who followed
in My footprints
Life is short, My chosen ones
here today
gone tomorrow
Jeremiah suffered
Joseph's brothers sold him as
a slave
Cain killed Abel
Every community began with
men faithful to God
Businesses are to promote
God's Kingdom
Countries are to serve God
I keep you in existence
I am love
A few years on earth
compared to eternity
Love your brothers
I am a just God
When you go to bed today
you cannot live this day
again.
There is the 10 Commandments
live by them
This is what you did to Mary's image

Healings
from
The Building of the Two Hearts
1. A gentleman from Florida called and said since he got the Fatima Statue with glass his life has been transformed. 3/3/2009
2. After using the Jesus water, pain and non-movement (for 3 years) in my fingers was healed instantly. Now fingers are cracking and working and no pain. Has taken x-rays. 10-19-2008
3. Ruptured ACL Ligament and PCL ligament left leg (knee) and damaged meniscus. 3-4 weeks excruciating pain. MRI showed damaged ligaments - went to do surgery and scopes revealed no damage other than meniscus injury. Day before surgery we came here to pray for healing. Wife anointed knee with Jesus water. Were told prior to surgery that would be out of work 3-6 months and surgery would be 4 hours. Surgery was only 40 minutes and recovery time is 1-2 weeks. 8/13/2008
4. My best friend (a couple) was granted a son, which now is my godson. They've been married for a long time but never had a child until they both came to see the Virgin Mary's image. 8/4/2007
5. I just wanted to tell you we have had so many prayers answered most especially since we have had the image statue in our home a few months ago. Prayers being miraculously answered for our children & grandchildren, our daughter's heart has literally almost healed ... she is also pregnant and that is also a miracle that she carried the baby this far, she is so thankful and also her cardiologist can't figure out how she is doing so well, and even agreed with her it must be prayers being said for her. He also told her in her 4th month to abort the baby, maybe he will have a conversion, we hope. Others in my family have changed since we got the statue. They are more understanding and patient and love being a Catholic more than ever before ...We thank Jesus, Mary, Rita and you all. Praise all of heaven. We are also so eager to have many more prayers answered. We are giving our married children a 10 inch statue each for their homes and red prayer manual if they would also like to say the prayers if they so choose to. The statue we know will help them with many graces as they pray before it as it has helped us in our home and lives. Love you all. 8/3/2007
6. Pregnancy. (A long note about how a woman got pregnant after she came to the Virgin Mary Building.) 3/21/2008
7. My mother was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in April 2005. She received the Jesus water of Clearwater that my brother brought to El Salvador. She was treated at Instituto Salvadoreno del Segino Social. She was expected to live 3-6 months. She lived well for 2 years. Now she rests in peace with Lord Jesus and Virgin Mary. She died of Pneumonia March 21, 2007. 4/27/2007
8. The CAT scan showed a dark spot and they thought they would have to remove my right kidney. My family went to the Blessed Mother and asked for prayers and help. They also got the healing water. Well all our prayers were answered. There was no cancer or tumor. Thanks for all your prayers and help, and thanks to the Lord above. 4/18/2007
9. Knees were injured from motorcycle accident July/August 2006. His mom got the water in Florida right after the accident and took it to him and he used it every day and now his knees are completely healed. He knows Jesus water did it. 1/9/2007
10. Suspected blood clot. Pain in leg with swelling. Jesus water was used and pain went away and swelling. 12/31/2006
11. Barretrs My husband brought Jesus water to hospital and put on my stomach. Biopsy came back fine. 12/27/06
12. A man from South Carolina came to thank Jesus and Mary for his healing. His brother sent him Jesus' water when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Three doctors told him there was nothing they could do for him. He started using Jesus' water and started feeling better (He could hardly walk, he was using a wheelchair a lot). He went back to the doctor and tests showed no more cancer gone! The doctor told him he never saw this happen before. He is around 70 years old and walks and feels normal. 2006
13. A lady from Egypt wrote asking St. Mary for a baby for 3 years. She helped me and now I have a little daughter. Her name is Mariam after St. Mary name by my language. Thank God and Thank St. Mary. She always remembers me. - Egypt 10/25/2006
14. This woman filled out a healing form at the site. I am so blessed by the Blessed Mother that she has been there for me on more than several occasions. She performed a miracle on all occasions, one in particular was cancer of the right leg. The doctors wanted to cut my leg off the cancer was in the bone. When I returned to New York and went to a plastic surgeon he saw the cat scan and said my chances weren't good. When he did the surgery the cancer was not in the bone. It was superficial. 9/2/2006
15. Stroke. Healed August 2006. 9/2/2006
16. A year ago he went to Orlando for a test on his prostate. It was positive. He came here in May and got some Jesus water out of the trough. He went back to the doctor and he was healed. - Venezuela 8/25/2006
17. Infertility. Conceived and gave birth exactly 9 months after our first visit to Clearwater in August 2000. Our son was born exactly 9 months after our visit (May 20, 2001). I've had surgeries on both ovaries in 1998 and had very little chance of conceiving. Mother Mary gave us our blessing and wish. 7/21/2006
18. Peter was operated on for cancer he had for 10 years on his leg and because the wound was so big, they had to take some skin from another part of his leg to be able to fix it but it did split. So Monday the doctor said that another surgery was needed but thanks to Jesus water on Wednesday on that same week he was healed. - Argentina 7/2/2006
19. Cancer of the lungs. A friend of ours who we visit from Canada. He told us of his illness and we came and prayed at the Virgin Mary's appearance on March 28, 2006. He had Jesus' water put on him the night before his surgery. His surgery was on March 31 and the cancer was gone. Thank you for your blessings. 4/2/2006
20. Lower back muscle strain. After straining my back I used the Jesus water before using pain crθme. After putting on the water I no longer needed the crθme. The strain was gone. 3/16/2006
21. Neuropathy. He had gotten Jesus water a few days ago and went to the doctor yesterday. 3/15/2006
22. Pregnancy. I could not become pregnant. I came here to ask Mary to extend her hands on me, to be able to have a child. The miracle happened. I did not know that other women had become pregnant by asking Mary. My son is 3 years old. I am convinced that he is called to be special in his life, he has a mission. When she went to see the doctor, specialists, they said forget it, she couldn't have a baby, and she went to many different ones. Came here to pray and became pregnant. All the doctors never understood what had happened. They said he is a miracle child. 3/8/2006
23. Pregnancy. Became pregnant of twin girls after we prayed in 2005 and even have a statue of the Virgin Mary in our yard. After 15 years of concubinage Virgin Mary finally blessed us. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Jesus water was used to help conceive. 2/2/2006
24. A woman came in today from New York and said she was here last March (2005) and got the Jesus water. Her cousin who was very healthy and had just retired at age 60 suffered a massive stroke. He was taken to the best neurological hospital in New York and the doctors said he had no chance of recovery. He had a blood clot at the base of his brain stem. He was in intensive care and the woman with the other family members were visiting him and she put Jesus water on him and they prayed over him, while he was laying in bed in a fetal position unable to talk was paralyzed. After she had left (only 30 minutes of visitation in Intensive Care) the woman received a call from her cousin's wife saying the man had sat up in bed after they left and was miraculously healed. He is back at home now. The doctors came in and said this was a miracle. This was 2 months ago. 1/24/2006
25. Dermatomyositis (a form of Muscular Dystrophy). I was given 6 months to live. I was really depressed ready to give up when, while being in town for my girlfriends niece's Christmas Party. I heard it on the news. (December 17, 1996) Decided why not let's go, when I got here I was not expecting to see what I saw. I couldn't believe what I saw. Within an hour I put the cane down, slowly but surely got better enough where I wasn't paralyzed or dead. Thank you Jesus and Mary. 12/16/2005
26. Small Bowel Syndrome. Infant acquired surgical intervention at birth. 4 months care at home. Healed completely as of May 2005. 11/24/2005
27. Newborn very sick - 2 lbs. My mother came to visit me. We used to live in the post apartments by Target. I brought my Mother to the Virgin Mary Building in Clearwater and she prayed for my niece, who was in Guatemala. When my Mother returned to Guatemala she took the picture of Virgin Mary and put it in my niece's room. When my niece was born, she needed a tube feeding. She couldn't eat on her own. She was very thin and very sick. Many people told my sister and my mother (including the doctors) that my niece was so sick that she probably would died. Thank to our Lady Virgin Mary, my niece is a healthy gifted 9 year old girl. - Guatemala - Healing was at 6 months old. 11-22-2005
28. My daughter was told she had thyroid cancer, after having one side of the thyroid removed they found the cancer was gone. This had to be due to Mary and Jesus Water and her belief in the Mother and Son. 9/17/2005
29. Virus. He was in Egypt. His relatives came to the site and asked for prayers for healing for him. That same day they were here he was completely healed of his Liver virus. He is a physician. 8/31/2005
30. After waiting about 8 months for the baby to get bigger for the surgery, the doctor checked him and couldn't believe it, but she said, "It just fixed itself." He was 4 months premature and this surgery would have lowered his sperm count significantly and its already been lowered by a double inguinal hernia surgery. 6-14-2005
31. Burst tube with unexpected pregnancy. Was internal bleeding. Doctor told was miracle, surviving from this kind of operation. She (the mother) had come to the site and prayed to God if this Image (Our Lady of Clearwater) was from God to grant her a miracle. Her daughter who was in Lithuania at the time was in the hospital and the above miracle happened during the 2 hours the mother was praying at the site. 5/4/2005
32. Heart failure. He was not breathing. Jesus water was poured on him while praying. He started breathing again. 4/23/2005
33. When I was pregnant, my baby was sick. My baby born was well. Thanks. 4/18/2005
34. Flu. Both sitting in car, praying rosary both sick of flu. He very sick, not getting better. Both used the water, felt pain leave body, didn't say anything, but after few minutes he said "I feel pain is gone." They drove back to tell us that they were healed. 4/18/2005
35. Asthma. Put Jesus water on neck. Breathing much better. 4/17/2005
36. Severe back pain. Have a bad back from laying brick for years and sometimes I bend over and the pain is severe and it takes at least 3 or 4 or more weeks for it to go away. I put Jesus water on it and it went away in 2 days. Alleluia. 4/16/2005
37. I must admit that some days I forget to wash in the water. But I have felt the same feeling once again a few days ago as I did on March 2nd, the first time I applied it to my knees. On the movie that you took, I am walking on the beach without a cane. I don't know if you noticed. I didn't use the cane yesterday, and I have no pain. I'm still slow at climbing the stairs, but I'm seeing a tremendous improvement. I'll keep a journal, and continue updating you I pray a lot, as I'm applying the medicine. Part of my prayer is "If it be your will." Thank you. I'll be in touch soon. 3/11/2005
38. My husband had a good friend and he was diagnosed with cancer and given less than a few weeks to live. Jesus told me to take him the Jesus water. I never really met him, but I went to the hospital. He was so sick. He bounced up and said I knew it - I will be healed. And he lived over two years longer.
39. Leukemia went into remission February 7, 2003. Her doctor can't believe how well she is doing. She has the worse kind of Leukemia there is and she is doing extremely well. He said this does not happen, so soon, we told him its because of all the prayers, everyone is saying for her. The day after we visited the Blessed Mother Building, her blood count was excellent. Thank you so much. As of 11/3/2004 she is still in remission and doing very well, a happy 10 year old little girl. We are all so thankful for all the prayers from everyone, we truly believe, if we hadn't had our faith and by going to the Virgin Mary building so often, we wouldn't have been so fortunate to have her. Prayer is still the most powerful and healing process. Thank you so much. 11/3/2004
40. Spinal Manangitas. December 16th, 2002 we almost lost our little grandson. He was taken flight for life to Madison where they worked on him for hours. They told us he would either be blind - deaf - brain damage, or he might not walk. Today he is a happy - healthy little boy full of life. Thanks to everyone's prayers to our Blessed Virgin and our heavenly Father, without them we would not have him. Thank you. As of this date November 3, 2004 our little grandson is doing very well, a healthy happy little boy, and so full of life, and without any complications. Our prayers and by going to the Virgin Mary building truly helped this little boy. Thanks to everyone for all their prayers. 11/3/2004
41. After my family visited the Virgin Mary and returned to hospital, I showed no sign of having a stroke. Doctors at hospital said I would not recover. 4/2001

2 Chronicles 36: 14-16, 19-23
Furthermore, all the leaders of Judah, the priests and the people too, added infidelity to infidelity, copying all the shameful practices of the nations and defiling the Temple of Yahweh which he himself had consecrated in Jerusalem. Yahweh, God of their ancestors, continuously sent them word through his messengers because he felt sorry for his people and his dwelling, but they ridiculed the messengers of God, they despised his words, they laughed at his prophets, until Yahweh's wrath with his people became so fierce that there was no further remedy.
He burned down the temple of God, demolished the walls of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces to the ground and destroyed everything of value in it. And those who had escaped the sword he deported to Babylon, where they were enslaved by him and his descendants until the rise of the kingdom of Persia, to fulfil Yahweh's prophecy through Jeremiah: Until the country has paid off its Sabbaths, it will lie fallow for all the days of its desolation--until the seventy years are complete.
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia--to fulfil the word of Yahweh through Jeremiah--Yahweh roused the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to issue a proclamation and to have it publicly displayed throughout his kingdom: 'Cyrus king of Persia says this, "Yahweh, the God of Heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build him a Temple in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him! Let him go up." '
Psalm 137: 1-6
By the rivers of Babylon
we sat and wept
at the memory of Zion.
On the poplars there
we had hung up our harps.For there our gaolers had asked us
to sing them a song,
our captors to make merry,
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.How could we sing a song of Yahweh
on alien soil?If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand wither!May my tongue remain stuck to my palate
if I do not keep you in mind,
if I do not count Jerusalem
the greatest of my joys.
Ephesians 2: 4-10
But God, being rich in faithful love, through the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our sins, brought us to life with Christit is through grace that you have been savedand raised us up with him and gave us a place with him in heaven, in Christ Jesus.
This was to show for all ages to come, through his goodness towards us in Christ Jesus, how extraordinarily rich he is in grace. Because it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith; not by anything of your own, but by a gift from God; not by anything that you have done, so that nobody can claim the credit. We are Gods work of art, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has already designated to make up our way of life.
John 3: 14-21
as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert,
so must the Son of man be lifted up
so that everyone who believes
may have eternal life in him.
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.
For God sent his Son into the world
not to judge the world,
but so that through him
the world might be saved.
No one who believes in him
will be judged;
but whoever does not believe
is judged already,
because that person does not believe
in the Name of Gods only Son.
And the judgement is this:
though the light has come into the world
people have preferred
darkness to the light
because their deeds were evil.
And indeed, everybody who does wrong
hates the light and avoids it,
to prevent his actions
from being shown up;
but whoever does the truth
comes out into the light,
so that what he is doing
may plainly appear as done in God.
4th Sunday of Lent
March 22, 2009
INTRODUCTION
(2 Chronicles 36:14-16, 19-23; Eph. 2:4-10; John 3:14-21) Last Sunday we heard about Gods covenant with his people as they traveled with Moses from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land. God promised his people many blessings and his special love and in return they were to keep his Law, especially the part of the Law we call The Ten Commandments. The Jewish historian who wrote the book of Chronicles gives us a summary of over seven centuries of infidelities on the part of Gods people to their covenant. The consequences of their infidelity led to untold disaster for the nation, but God would not let them be destroyed totally. Just to help you visualize this better, the Babylonians who practically destroyed them came out of modern day Iraq. The Persians who restored them to their land came out of Iran. Our psalm refrain is the lament of Gods people as they suffered captivity in Babylon. Next week we will hear Jeremiah promise that God would make a new covenant with his people since the old one was so poorly kept. We celebrate and renew Gods new covenant as always as we celebrate the Eucharist today.HOMILY
Our gospel comes from the third chapter of St. John. The third chapter begins with Nicodemus coming to talk with Jesus. We only hear about Nicodemus from St. John and he comes up three times in Johns gospel. He was a Pharisee and a Jewish religious leader, which implies he is one of the 71 members of the Sanhedrin, the supreme ruling council of the Jews.We have a stained glass window in the room in the back of Church picturing Jesus talking with Nicodemus. We now call it the brides room, but originally it was the baptistery and the window was placed there because, at this meeting with Jesus that todays gospel is about, Jesus talks with Nicodemus about baptism.
John tells us Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. On a practical level, he was avoiding the possibility that any of his peers (who were hostile to Jesus) might see Nicodemus associating with this preacher from Nazareth. John uses light and darkness all through his gospel as a symbol of truth and error, grace and sin. John was also telling us symbolically that Nicodemus came from the darkness to Jesus, who is the light. John employs this same symbolism after Judas betrayed Jesus. At the Last Supper Judas left the supper room and John tells us when he went out, it was night. Hes not so much telling us the time of day but that Judas was walking away from Jesus, the light.
Although Nicodemus was a teacher in Israel, what Jesus had to say to him left him completely perplexed. Jesus told Nicodemus a person must be born again if he or she is ever to see the Kingdom of God. Nicodemus thought Jesus was telling him we had to start over again in life like a little baby. To clarify things for Nicodemus, Jesus explained that simply being born into this world does not entitle us to eternal life. We must be born again of water and the Spirit. This conversation leads us into todays gospel.
Before I get into what our gospel tells us, I want to digress and mention the other two times when Nicodemus shows up in Johns gospel. The second time is later on when the Sanhedrin wanted to convict Jesus of being an imposter and seducing the people into believing he was the Messiah. Nicodemus spoke up and said Jesus should not be condemned without a fair trial. He was, of course, ridiculed for his comments. Lastly we see Nicodemus at he end of Jesus life when he brought spices to help with Jesus burial. He obviously grew in courage as he more boldly showed his faith in Jesus. In these three instances we see Nicodemus moving from darkness into the light.
Now back to todays gospel. I am simplifying Jesus teachings considerably. Jesus goes on to say that his death and resurrection are the basis of the spiritual life to be revealed by him. The words raised up in John refer both to Jesus being raised up on the cross and his glorification in his resurrection and ascension. Jesus used an example to explain this that Nicodemus would have understood. The example is taken from an event from the book of Numbers where the Jews, in their journey through the desert, encountered a nest of poisonous snakes. Many were bitten with a painful bite and many died. God, however, told Moses to make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole and all who looked upon it were healed and saved. And so, it is through Jesus saving death and resurrection and our faith in him, celebrated and expressed through baptism and the Eucharist (which we will see later in Johns gospel) that we are saved. Jesus stresses that he has come to save us simply because of Gods great love and not because we deserve it or earned it. But he cautions us that his love cannot save us if we do not open ourselves to it. It is like the light, Jesus says. We can choose to open our eyes and hearts to his light or we can remain in the dark, the darkness of life without Christ.
So we hear the famous verse John 3:16: God so loved the world, God so loved you and me, that he sent his only son who died and rose to give us life. This is the new covenant that God offers us. We recall that love and express our faith in his love now as we celebrate our Eucharist. Amen.

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 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 - 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 - 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 |
|
Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10 |
