Pray for special intentions.
Prayer for Grace for our Country
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.

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:
"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

R. Peace is found in doing God’s will in love.
When you do God’s will others might not like it.
All that matters is what God wants, what God thinks, we do what God wants.
“Peace is my farewell to you,
My peace is my gift to you.” John 14: 27Peace is the tranquility of order, St. Augustine says.
The devil always wants disorder so he can have his evil design.
Acting in disorder where you put yourself above God and others, causes turmoil, discord, chaos and confusion. Satan always wants to try to rule and stop what God wants to happen.
When the order God wants is respected, there is peace, not perfect peace, but order makes things operate much better.
When order is not observed in nations, families, etc. there is discord.
Think of the damage in a family where children rebel against parents or children try to join with the one parent to rule over the other parent.
What about order in any walk of life.What about order in putting God first.
People will have greater peace living in order, according to God’s will in love.
There will be peace accordingly to how we observe God’s will, in order and in love.
The devil wants a fight with the righteous man doing God’s will. The devil wants to make the person doing God’s will look weak, while the one fighting the righteous looks like he is the powerful one.

R.
We cannot close the door on the past, weAs in a business, the boss looks back and
sees how he did it before and tries to
improve it. He would never close the door
on past interactions and start everything
new. He can only build on the past so
the company can grow.
So too with our lives, we must look to our
past and embrace it to know it well,
it is the key to our happiness and growth.
We need to live a balanced life one side
is the thinking side and the other
side is the feeling side and expressive
side (expression of self), we need
both sides in balance.
Jesus:
I am the way, the truth and the lifeThe Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed
be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. Amen.
R.
The truth shall set you free. I amJesus:
Be of a clean heart and you will notFor I say unto you, many are called
but few are chosen, it is up to you to follow
the path of right. You can do My will or
reject My will. My will is the WAY, the
TRUTH and the life. The way to a long
lived happy life and to experience life is
through the truth. The truth in all things.
Do unto others as you would want them
to do unto you. Love one another and
cherish your precious moments you
have together.
The gift of children are the great gifts
of all, in them is life and
love and innocence. Cherish these
years when they are young and teach them
honesty and truth at all cost, for you are
molding them to bear fruit. They are My
precious gifts to you to have and hold and
teach. Your example is the way you teach.
Each moment is precious to behold
because when it is over it is gone forever.
More precious than jewels are the moments
Make each moment precious, by loving
one another. God is first always – Before
anything else – any other order is OUT of
ORDER and does not work – any other
ORDER is not God’s order. His life is
simple – it is not confused,
it is simple LOVE AND TRUTH – these
are the jewels of each moment.
Do the will of God.
I am your God, you shall have
no other gods before me – not WEALTH,
FOOD, SEX, DRINK, I am your God
and I am first, when I am first, I give you
everything necessary to live. You are
working for Me, I will work in you, I will
make your life work, you let go and know
I am your captain. I love you and I know
what you need to make you happy. I
have your best interest at heart. Trust
in Me and come to Me and make your
ways, My ways. I love you more than
any other human person could love you.
I love you with My Divine Love. I am your
God and you are My precious creation, I
made you to love Me and love My other
I am your God, I hold your hand, I want
you to put your head in My lap and weep
and come to Me and tell Me of your joy,
I want you to be you, created by God, I am
there to listen and support and love you.
I am your best friend, and I love you more
than you can love yourself – trust Me with
your will and your life and I will make it
beautiful for you. Be happy and spread
your love to each other – the devil comes
with his lies. The devil says “You are not
enough, you didn’t do enough, you can’t
do it.” – I am your God, listen to Me not
the devil. Believe in your life living
according to your vocation for My honor
and glory. Don’t be jealous, angry, envious,
mean seeking dominance for dominance
sake –
Don’t be willful. Do God’s will with love.

bosoms shine!
You, of comforters the best;

Nothing free
from taint of ill!
Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains
of guilt away;
Bend the
stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful, who adore
And
confess you, evermore
In your sev'nfold gift
descend;
Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys
that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.

Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. — Cycle B 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 |
Guiding Light — The Soul Who Could. — Cycle A Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. $10 |
|
|
|
|
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 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 — 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 — 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 |
