Sirah 15: 14-20
He himself made human beings in the beginning,
and then left them free to make their own decisions.
If you choose, you will keep the commandments
and so be faithful to his will.
He has set fire and water before you;
put out your hand to whichever you prefer.
A human being has life and death before him;
whichever he prefers will be given him.
For vast is the wisdom of the Lord;
he is almighty and allseeing.
His eyes are on those who fear him,
he notes every human action.
He never commanded anyone to be godless,
he has given no one permission to sin.
Sirah 16: 19-21
The mountains and earths foundations alike
quail and tremble when he looks at them.
But to all this no one gives thought.
Who keeps his movements in mind?
The storm wind itself is invisible,
and most of what he does goes undetected.
Sirah 17: 19-20
Their actions are all as plain as the sun to him,
and his eyes rest constantly on their conduct.
Their iniquities are not hidden from him,
all their sins are before the Lord.
Sirah 21: 1-2
My child, have you sinned? Do so no more,
and ask forgiveness for your previous faults.
Flee from sin as from a snake,
if you approach it, it will bite you;
its teeth are lions teeth,
they take human life away.
Sing: Pardon Your People
Excerpt from March 2, 2005 message
Jesus speaks:
You can become
habitually
negative
You can think negatively
most or all of the time.
I give you a golden sun
it is so huge to your
eye looking
fire-like and you
crawl into your
negative corner
you can be selfish so
self focused you
look inward at
what you want
you focus on the ground
you can give into satan
Many people say rosary after
rosary, Our Father after
Our Father and never learn
to forgive
It is words I say and some
lack mercy
will they be merciful
to those who offend them
They call themselves holy, pride
themselves on their holiness and
lack love
I forgave those who put me to
death
You can have bags of unforgiveness and
then try to pin your hatred
on a scapegoat
They piled the sins on My back
I carried your sins of
unforgiveness
mercy
You want forgiveness for your sins,
but you don't forgive others
You go to the Eucharist - half
heartedly to receive Me and
when you leave the church
you speak of others with
a discerning tongue and
fail to see your own faults or
look at how unforgiving
you might be
Did you watch little ones at
play
They may want a toy another has so
much, but when distracted they
usually don't come back
to take up old arguments
Some adults remember so many
unforgiving things and remember
them wrong
I loved you so much, I gave My
life for you
Sing: Pardon Your People
Discernment of Spirits
Do you act on every whim
you have
Do you ask yourself if
- this is from God
- just something you think
- or if the devil is giving you
a prompting
leading you off
Then when you know you should
say something it ruins
someone's reputation
you do it anyway
You have a choice to be holy or
not
Do you take things into your own
hands and say it is for a greater
good and disobey authority
raise yourself above those
over you so you weaken
the very structure because
of your pride and how you give
into satan to try to raise
yourself up.
A person passively and aggressively
attacked the institution because
they themselves were full of
negativity and unforgiveness
they were dark and unhappy
inside because
they chose to be that way.
For years they hurt the institution
because they didn't really
want to be under anyone
If you opened up their mouth and
looked in you could
always see negativity
ready to come out
rigidity was the devil's playground
with them
they really failed to work in
harmony, they were miserable,
they didn't want union and
they wanted to control
their own life the way
they wanted
Jesus speaks: Some
try to preserve their lives
through food and drink,
and fail to tend to their
heart.
A man who harbors, anger and division
in his heart, chokes the very
life he may seek with
healthy foods
A heart filled with love sends the
gift of life to the body
one who sends his heart a
dirty rag, washes his
insides with his dirty,
dark rag
Who would clean the table
with the chemical that
scours it for cleanest
use and send the dark
dismal thoughts of division,
pride and disharmony
to his soul
Wash your tables with a clear liquid
send your heart the thoughts of
love, harmony, obedience
When a pipe is clogged little water
flows
When a man squeezes his vessels
with anger and discontent he
squeezes the life of the
soul
A heart beats in the body life
flows in the blood
My Heart is a Heart of love
Your heart filled with love will
feed your body life
Your heart filled with anxiousness,
discontent, anger, competition,
hatred - fills your heart with
"cruds" and clogs your pipes.
Oh that you would realize that
white washing your tombs and
eating a dirty rag, may look
good outside, but inside where
it counts you wear a dark,
mud caked fluid that settles
in your aching joints.
Oh Jerusalem, you are cleaning your
closets of debris and fail to look
in your hearts there where lurks
your impurities and your biggest
dirt
I give you a heart to love
I show you the symbol of My Heart
filled with a golden glow and
radiating life but wounded
for your sins.
You fail to see the connection of the
clogged arteries and the
clogged spiritual
life you have.
Oh you the Master of the body
the all knowing of a human
heart
you know not of the heart
of love
You are focused on your mud and
the things at the bottom of
the mountain you have
become obsessive in your
ways trying to wash your
socks and scour your
dishes
When your heart hangs with
misery, unforgiveness, sin
and you lack mercy.
Wash your heart of that ugly
debris
Wash your hands of the Blood
of the Savior
put aside your pride and guilt and
act likened to Me
don't model your actions after he
who wants to steal your
soul
A dark room is just that
a dark room
and a light room is filled with
marvelous light
Proverbs 4: 22-26
For they are life to those who find them
and health to all humanity.
More than all else, keep watch over your heart,
since here are the wellsprings of life.
Turn your back on the mouth that misleads,
keep your distance from lips that deceive.
Let your eyes be fixed ahead,
your gaze be straight before you.
Let the path you tread be level
and all your ways be firm.
March 2, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: Oh
that you would see with the
eyes of faith
Oh that you would see with
eyes unveiled
Focus not on the things of the body
and forget the things of the soul
Listen to the voice within that
tells you more
Oh that you studied the Creator
in His creation
That you studied the physical
to know the One Who
created things.
But you study how it works
as the end in itself and
fail to see the author of
life and know about Him
Oh men can be blind or filled
with wisdom
look beyond and focus
on what this teaches
you about the life
hereafter.
Oh the lessons of youth can be long
lost to the clogged minds men
have in their old age
Would that you could build on
what you knew to know
more about the life hereafter
instead of learning more to
become more rigid and fixed
in ways that may become
immovable and without
change or growth
One who settles in, in his old age
has ceased to see that
growth comes when one
continues to grow not
stay static
