We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

R. Do you feel the presence of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

The Father, has a plan for us.
God wants this relationship with us.
We are here to grow in our intimacy
with God.
In this Lent we can spend time
alone with God and think of the
presence of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit in our heart.

Jesus: Be alone with Me, close
your eyes, think of the presence of
God, All three Persons, dwelling in
your heart.

Meditate, empty your mind, think
only of the presence of God. Make
a spiritual communion, now.

Take time, be alone with Me.

Everyday during Lent, morning and
night, empty your mind, make a
spiritual communion, think of God’s
presence with you, close your eyes,
be alone with Me.

This will help you to grow in God’s
presence all day, the more you do
this, all thru Lent.

I went into the desert to pray for
40 days and be with My Father,
practice this every day during Lent.
Being alone with God. Knowing
My presence!!!!

Jesus and Mary. You were so close to
them. You showed us love.

yet you were strong in being their
manly protector on earth, intercede
for us to depend more and more on
God for all our needs, for when we
are weak we are strong in God.

St. Joseph please intercede for a
peaceful and holy death for us and

Jesus: Your door is open – I will
watch over you, haven’t I always
done that? When you walk through
raging waters, you My child
I will hold your hand, don’t be
afraid, you are precious to Me.

 

April 2, 1992

R. Dear Jesus,

I am so happy to have You in my heart.
Thank You for this day and the sunshine,
thank You for helping me give my life
to You and bringing me to this point in
my life. Thank You for the trials that
has brought me closer to You and
teaching me how to love more.
Jesus, I give You my will and my life,
I give You what I am and I ask You
to run my life, please what ever happens
I surrender to You running my life.
Please Jesus help me to know the way
of life You call me to. Help me surrender
to what ever You want me to do. I will
let You run the show. I am going to do
what You want, I know today I was to go
to All Saints and spend this time with You.

Thank you for Your relationship,
thank You for the Holy Spirit and my
heavenly Mother, thank You for real
joy which I now feel in my heart.
Thank You for the image of the
wall of rocks and the door for me
to walk through.

R. That was my image from You, at that
point seeing the gray rocks oh so close
like a wall and a door, You were taking
me to a new beginning in my life – a life
of surrendering and realizing that You are
running my life. What is for today? I do
Your will. That is what is to be. I am
filled with Your love and Your joy as I
walk through this door into surrender
with You – on the other side there are
still rocks, but they are not closing in
they are opening up and the light, as
the warm sun is now seen atop the
rocks and my body is warm and secure
in Your love. You oh my Lord are in
the driver's seat. I walk through that
door. My relationship with You is alive
and new, and I surrender and walk
through the door. I have a deep relationship
with my children and my close
friends – they are there, all around me –
I, Lord Jesus walk through the door –
the rocks open up and I am not closed
in anymore, but I can always look up
and see the opening and the sky. You are
in the driver’s seat, You are rowing my
boat and driving my car, though I
tread in raging waters, I do not
need to be afraid, You are there with
Your rod and Your staff and You
comfort me, I am not afraid, Your
warmth and Your love is always there,
I am secure, I am Your child, I am
protected and held and You will stand
for me, You will say, ‘she is indeed
My child, I love her, she is Mine.
She is My child.’

Jesus: I will never forget you,
I will not leave you orphaned, I
will hold your hand and lead you.
You dwell in My Heart at this moment.
Die to the old ways not likened to
Me – to live a deeper life of resurrection
in Me. I am here and I am still in your
heart. My love for you is
real, I will not abandon you. I
will nurture you and prune you and
watch you grow in My light, I
will be your light, you will not
flicker or fade, but be constantly
aglow with the light of My love, I am
ever present in your heart. Reach out
and touch My heart, it is warm and alive
and beating for you, know you are
loved child. No earthly person can give
this love to you. Look up and see the
heavens and count the stars if you can,
your life will be even brighter, brighter
than all the stars. Bathe yourself
in My love and know it is constant and
there for you, I am your God – you
shall have no gods before Me, nothing
can compare to this love, I give to you.
Do not turn to the world, I will provide
you with nurturing and love, with
peace and joy, do My work and be attentive
to the voice within you, it is there and
you must constantly listen, you will
know when I am talking to you –
listen My child, I do not slumber or
sleep, I am attentive to your needs
and I love you, I will strengthen and
protect you always. Jesus died
upon the Cross, Christ arose from
the dead and you too will live a deeper
life of resurrection in Me. You are
through the door, surrender to Me.

Listen to My directions and carry them
out, I am in your life, I am in your heart,
I am He who comforts you, do not,
My child, be afraid, walk in the confidence
of knowing I, your God walk
before and with you every step
of the way. I am He who comforts
and walks with you. I love you,
I love you, Jesus.

 

May 2, 1992 - Saturday

R. My Dearest Jesus,
Please help me to do Your will – fill me
with Your love and goodness so I can give to
others what You want me to give them.

Jesus: You are My precious child, I love you
every minute of the day. I am in you and I
love you, I am in your heart – teach your
children to love Me – teach them about the
Eucharist – I am blessing you each in a special
way. I love you and I will take care of you –
I am there for you. I am your God, ever present
in your life, guarding you, watching out for
you. I neither slumber or sleep. I am your God.
I constantly watch out for you. I love you.

R. We live out the Mass in our lives.
 

        Morning Offering

Dear Father,
I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus in the Mass,
in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession
of Mary, our spiritual Mother, with all the angels and
saints, and the souls in purgatory, for the priest, the
Church, and the world.

We love You God so much.
We thank You and adore You and petition You for
our needs. Amen.

 

R. This little light of mine,

I’m going to let it shine.
 

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.

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1. Mark 16: 1-11  

When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices with which to go and anoint him. And very early in the morning on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. 
    They had been saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?’ But when they looked they saw that the stone—which was very big—had already been rolled back. On entering the tomb they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right–hand side, and they were struck with amazement. But he said to them, ‘There is no need to be so amazed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he has risen, he is not here. See, here is the place where they laid him. But you must go and tell his disciples and Peter, "He is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him, just as he told you." ’ And the women came out and ran away from the tomb because they were frightened out of their wits; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Having risen in the morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom he had cast out seven devils. She then went to those who had been his companions, and who were mourning and in tears, and told them. But they did not believe her when they heard her say that he was alive and that she had seen him.

2. Life is in Him, we die to ourselves to
    rise to new life in Him.
3. In the Death / there is the Resurrection,
    we live out the Mass in our lives.

4. Morning Offering

Dear Father,
I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus in the Mass,
in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession
of Mary, our spiritual Mother, with all the angels and
saints, and the souls in purgatory, for the priest, the
Church, and the world.

We love You God so much.
We thank You and adore You and petition You for
our needs. Amen.

5. Pray for the priests, the Church and the
    world.

    God has given us a Savior.

    God has given us the Church, the priest.
6. It wasn’t a pretty cross, the sufferings
    Jesus endured was beyond any sufferings
    we could imagine to His perfect, pure body.

    God outpours His grace to us in the Mass.
    The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary
    sacramentally made present, we can unite
    all day in our lives.
7. Sufferings when accepted properly lead
    to “new life”.

    Jesus appeared to me on the cross,
    December 5, 1996 at the point of death,
    His mouth moved, up and down.

    He said no one was listening.
    I cried 3 days.
8. Mary appeared in Clearwater, Florida
    December 17, 1996, 12 days later.

    Jesus is alive, Jesus gives us Himself in
    the Eucharist, souls need the messages
    of His love, pray the rosary, the Morning
    Offering.
9. We need to meditate on Christ crucified,
    dying for our sins, and the Resurrection
    into “new life”. The gift of enduring
    suffering properly.
    Like Fr. Carter said, it’s not that there is
    too much suffering in the world, but so
    much is wasted.

    When we are weak, we are strong in Him.

    God is with us in the darkest night.

    He is the Resurrection and the life. Life
    is in Him.
10. We must die to ourselves to follow in
    His footprints.
    In the Death is the Resurrection.

    Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

 

The Ascension

1. Acts 1: 6-9

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

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.

2. Jesus ascended into heaven to His
    Father, He remains, truly present with
    us in the Eucharist, Body, Blood, Soul
    and Divinity, through the hands of
    His precious priests.
3. They took every once of Jesus' energy,
    beating Him until He was flat, flat on
    the ground

    Then they poked at Him, with more
    energy to force Him to get up.

    I can’t imagine the torture Jesus went
    through to pay for our sins.

    They never let up, kept forcing Him,
    forcing Him, forcing Him.

    The devil is relentless. He doesn’t like
    praying, love of God, etc.
4. God created us to know, love and serve
    Him and thereby attain our eternal salvation.
5. We were called to our vocation by God.
    God has a Plan for our lives.
6. God gives us the Church.
    God the Father, our Father.
    Mary is our Mother.
7. When I am weak, I am strong in Him.

8. 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.

9. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

10. Sing Refrain: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles

1. Acts 2: 1-4

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

2. Life is very short, we were created to
    go to heaven some day.
3. God has a Plan, we must seek His Plan.
    God gives us signs, how can we ignore
    the signs He gives us.
4. From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.       

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your gifts of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord. As we dwell in the Heart of Mary, Your spouse, fashion us more and more according to the Heart of Jesus.

5. 30 Years Ago - July 31, 1994

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."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

 

6. From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

                Age of the Two Hearts

Jesus:  "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.

    "After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!" 

7. Pray for the priest, the Church and the
    world.
8. Sing: I am the Bread of Life
9. Sing: Come Holy Ghost

10. Sing: A Song from Jesus

 

The Assumption

1. Mary was taken body and soul into heaven.
2. Mary is the perfect handmaid of Jesus.
3. Sing: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria!!

4. Sing: Our Lady of Clearwater

5. Sing: Immaculate Mary

6. Feast of the Assumption - August 15, 2007

HOMILY – It is recorded nowhere in Scripture when,
where or how Mary died. Nor do the Scriptures tell us
about her assumption. It has been a part, however, of the
very ancient tradition of the Church that Mary was
assumed bodily into heavenly glory when her life here on
earth was ended. One early document referring to this
event comes from the Bishop of Jerusalem in 451, St.
Juvenal. He was asked by the emperor of
Constantinople to bring the body of Mary to
Constantinople. He replied to the emperor that Mary
had died in the presence of all the apostles. But her
tomb, when opened upon the request of St. Thomas, was
found empty. Thus the apostles concluded that her body
was taken up to heaven as Jesus was.

7. Assumption continues

Some people belittle tradition as if it were
unimportant. They claim to believe only the written
words of the Scriptures. Yet, if we stop and think about
it, we would have no Scriptures without tradition for the
Scriptures came from the Church’s tradition. For
example, the earliest New Testament writings we have
are the letters of Paul, the first of which was written
about the year 51 A.D. Of our four gospels, Mark’s is the
first and it was written about 70 A.D. I say this so you
can see the importance of tradition. The Church had
only its tradition to go on until Paul and the evangelists
started writing it down 20, 30, 40 years after Christ, at
the earliest. So to say that the knowledge of the
assumption of Mary came from the very early tradition of
the Church is to give a lot of weight to this teaching.
But to eliminate any doubt as to whether Mary actually
was assumed into heavenly glory, the Holy Father, Pope
Pius XII, after reviewing the belief of the Church
through the ages, made it a dogma of our faith in 1950.

8. Assumption continues

In today’s gospel St. Luke tells us about Mary who is
a young girl going to visit her much older cousin
Elizabeth. Mary had just been visited by the angel, and
she had accepted the invitation to be the mother of the
Savior God was sending to his people. So she is at this
moment unmarried and yet pregnant through the power
of the Holy Spirit It was not a happy situation to be in.
She could have been rejected by her husband to be, she
could have been rejected by her family or could even
have been put to death. Yet she is full of trust in God
and praises God’s greatness and God’s goodness. There
is no expression of “poor me.” She is entirely focused on
God. Mary shows us how to be trusting and in her
assumption she shows us where that trust will lead us.

9. Assumption continues

Today’s feast honors Mary, for God himself has
honored her. In her openness to God and in her
willingness to always do whatever God wanted, God
rewarded her in a unique way. But today’s feast also is a
source of hope for us. Christ came, as he says in St.
John’s gospel, that we might have the fullness of life.
Our faith tells us our bodies too will share in that
fullness. So Mary is allowed to enjoy ahead of time what
God’s plan is for all of us who are faithful in following
him and serving him.

10. Revelation 7:17

...because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

 

The Queenship of Mary

1. Revelation 12:1-2

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

2. Excerpt from Blue Book III - April 11, 1994 - Your Last Chance to Love

Jesus: ... My child, My child, My favored,
blessed child, I give you crosses because I love you. You I have
loved dearly all through your life. Your crosses have brought
you to Me and My love. Life will soon be over on this earth for
you. All that matters are the things of God. Love all those
around you as if it be your last chance to love. Live each day
to love all around you. Live it as if it be your last day to live on
this earth. Would you waste valuable time fuming and fretting?
Time is short and souls will be lost. They will suffer the loss of
their souls. You do not have time for any remorse. Your job is
to preach My ardent love to My beloved ones. There is so
much sin and so much blindness, but the kingdom of God
awaits all those who love and serve the Lord.

Please, I beg of you, spread My love. Do not let Satan get
you focused on yourself. Your work is to lead souls to My most
ardent love. What an honor! I am awaiting My precious ones.
Have faith, child. I am truly writing to you and I am God. I
gave My all for love of you, My child. I died that you might
live. Give yourself to Me now. end of excerpt

3. John 19:31-37

It was the Day of Preparation, and to avoid the bodies' remaining on the cross during the Sabbath -- since that Sabbath was a day of special solemnity -- the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away. Consequently the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with him and then of the other. When they came to Jesus, they saw he was already dead, and so instead of breaking his legs one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water. This is the evidence of one who saw it -- true evidence, and he knows that what he says is true -- and he gives it so that you may believe as well. Because all this happened to fulfil the words of scripture: Not one bone of his will be broken; and again, in another place scripture says: They will look to the one whom they have pierced.

4. Mary: My little children, I come to you and I speak to you,
for I have been here with you this whole time, watching and
guarding you. I am Mary, your Mother, and I tell you to not be
afraid, but you are afraid and I am waiting for you to come to
me. Come into my heart, for I will lead you to the Heart of my
Son and you will not be afraid. You will be courageous and you
will be filled with my Spouse, the Holy Spirit, and you will go
into the world and you will spread the Word of God alive in
your hearts.

5. Mary: My little children of the Father, I watch you as a
doting mother watches her child, and you do not feel my
presence with you, but I am there, always watching you,
always by your side.

6. Mary: What will become of them, the little children that
insist on doing their own will? ‘Remember that thou shalt keep
holy the Sabbath day, obey your father and your mother’, but
they do not listen, they are dumb and they are blind. My little
children, they will not listen to their Father.

7. Mary: My Son Jesus reveals to you the plan of the Father
here. I say this to you, my shepherds, do whatever He tells you
to do. The more you follow the plan, the more you will have
peace and joy in your hearts. The more you deviate and do
your own wills, the more you will have trouble in your hearts.

8. Mary: My Son is giving you great graces when you pray the
hourly prayers. If you do not pray the prayers you will struggle
tremendously, for the devil will try to attack you and to lead
you astray through conversation with others. I am giving to
you this key that my Son has given to you to unlock the peace
in your heart. It is just to say, “I ask, I knock, I seek through
the intercession of the Virgin Mary that I receive grace”. Pray
to the Father, in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of
Mary, that you receive grace.

9. Mary: I am asking you, my shepherd apostles, that at the
hours of 3, 6, 9, and 12, that you pray the prayers if it is
possible. If it is not possible and you have a few minutes, you
should pray for holy priests. You should pray for the Shepherds
of Christ members. You should pray for the Priestly
Newsletter, pray for the human family, pray to St. Michael for
protection and the angels, and say, “I give my heart to Jesus
and to Mary.” Ask that the Precious Blood of Jesus be spread
on you and the Shepherds of Christ Movement. These prayers
can be recited in a few minutes. I am asking you to be fervent
to the prayers, for at every hour it will draw you back to my
Son Jesus. It will lead you to God and you will receive the
greatest graces. My Son will allow you to suffer if you do not
recite the prayers and you are able.

10. Sing: Hail Holy Queen

		Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012) $ 10.00 Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $10

		Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $10

		Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $10

		Guiding Light - Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $10
