Readings Today
Jeremiah 11:18-20
Yahweh informed me and I knew it; you then revealed their scheming to me. I for my part was like a trustful lamb being led to the slaughterhouse, not knowing the schemes they were plotting against me, Let us destroy the tree in its strength, let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name may no longer be remembered!
Yahweh Sabaoth,
whose judgement is upright,
tester of motives and thoughts,
I shall see your vengeance on them,
for I have revealed my cause to you.
Psalm 7: 2-3, 9-12
or he will savage me like a lion,
carry me off with no one to rescue me.
Yahweh my God, if I have done this:
if injustice has stained my hands,Put an end to the malice of the wicked,
make the upright stand firm,
you who discern hearts and minds,
God the upright.God is a shield that protects me,
saving the honest of heart.
God is an upright judge,
slow to anger,
but a God at all times threatening
for those who will not repent.Let the enemy whet his sword,
draw his bow and make ready;
John 7:40-53
Some of the crowd who had been listening said, He is indeed the prophet, and some said, He is the Christ, but others said, Would the Christ come from Galilee? Does not scripture say that the Christ must be descended from David and come from Bethlehem, the village where David was? So the people could not agree about him. Some wanted to arrest him, but no one actually laid a hand on him. The guards went back to the chief priests and Pharisees who said to them, Why havent you brought him? The guards replied, No one has ever spoken like this man. So, the Pharisees answered, you, too, have been led astray? Have any of the authorities come to believe in him? Any of the Pharisees? This rabble knows nothing about the Lawthey are damned. One of them, Nicodemusthe same man who had come to Jesus earliersaid to them, But surely our Law does not allow us to pass judgement on anyone without first giving him a hearing and discovering what he is doing? To this they answered, Are you a Galilean too? Go into the matter, and see for yourself: prophets do not arise in Galilee.
R. Jeremiah prefigured Christ
Jeremiah didn't want to be a prophet
Jeremiah said if you don't listen to
God, you will have the consequences
because Jeremiah preached what he
did people wanted to kill
Jeremiah
Jesus came
Jesus did do the Father's will
The Pharisees didn't want anybody
to think Jesus is special
Jesus talked with authority
The people never heard anybody talk
like Jesus Jesus spoke with authority
The religious leaders because there was
a dispute - said
Jesus isn't the Messiah
And so they wanted to
put Him to death
Jesus directs us in the ways we
are to go
And we can reject Jesus or follow Jesus
but Jesus has the words of everlasting
life
Jesus has chosen us to be His follower
We are chosen
We can mirror His life or rebel
We give others good example if we follow
Jesus and we can lead others to
see Jesus and His truth we can help to show
others what they must do to have eternal life
We can give into evil or
We can follow Jesus
We can see reality as it really is
as God created us and we
are a little part in this
mission or
ignore those who went before us
ignore the people we are to witness to
and turn inward becoming
more isolated and unloving and
unhappy
God is love
God has called us to love and spread
the Good News
God has called us to be lights in
the darkness
God has called us to be witnesses
to Him
To live by God's rules
We pray for the grace to know God
more to love God more
to praise God more
We beg to be filled with the
Spirit of God
The devil wants us lethargic
sad - looking down
We must live reflective lives
Fr. Carter did the examine twice a day
Examine our conscience
How is God working in our day
Thank Him for all His gifts
Make an act of contrition
See how you have offended
God and others by being
unloving
Luke 4: 18-19
The spirit of the Lord is on me,
for he has anointed me
to bring the good news to the afflicted.
He has sent me
to proclaim liberty to captives,
sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim a year of favour
from the Lord.
R. Jesus is full of the Spirit
Jesus is the Divine Healer
The men wanted to kill Jesus
Jesus is pure gentleness
Jesus is pure goodness
Jesus was not accepted by
His own people
Jesus loved companions
God called us to work in
love together
3 people lived together in love
happiness was their choice
they worked together doing lots
of work for God
3 people worked, disconnected
isolated - working negatively
Their choice was in a struggle
to be in the same room
with each other and
they were jealous when others
worked together
because they didn't like
the isolated lonely life
they chose for themselves
Happiness if love
Happiness is a choice
The Trinity is the most perfect
community 3 Persons in
one God
R. The beatific vision is to live
wrapped in love
How do you act with others - you
live with
Do you walk around without
eye contact cold isolated
God calls us to walk hand-in-hand

We pray all prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. By the precious Body and Blood of Jesus we cast out Satan far from this place, our families, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on us, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We beg for grace and mercy for the world and wish to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary with all gathered here in love. We wish to be forgiven for offending one another. We love You God, help us.
