Today's Readings
Acts 17: 15, 22—-18:1
Paul's escort took him as far as Athens, and went back with instructions for Silas and Timothy to rejoin Paul as soon as they could.
So Paul stood before the whole council of the Areopagus and made this speech:
'Men of Athens, I have seen for myself how extremely scrupulous you are in all religious matters, because, as I strolled round looking at your sacred monuments, I noticed among other things an altar inscribed: To An Unknown God. In fact, the unknown God you revere is the one I proclaim to you.
'Since the God who made the world and everything in it is himself Lord of heaven and earth, he does not make his home in shrines made by human hands. Nor is he in need of anything, that he should be served by human hands; on the contrary, it is he who gives everything — including life and breath — to everyone. From one single principle he not only created the whole human race so that they could occupy the entire earth, but he decreed the times and limits of their habitation. And he did this so that they might seek the deity and, by feeling their way towards him, succeed in finding him; and indeed he is not far from any of us, since it is in him that we live, and move, and exist, as indeed some of your own writers have said:
We are all his children.
'Since we are the children of God, we have no excuse for thinking that the deity looks like anything in gold, silver or stone that has been carved and designed by a man.
'But now, overlooking the times of ignorance, God is telling everyone everywhere that they must repent, because he has fixed a day when the whole world will be judged in uprightness by a man he has appointed. And God has publicly proved this by raising him from the dead.'
At this mention of rising from the dead, some of them burst out laughing; others said, 'We would like to hear you talk about this another time.' After that Paul left them, but there were some who attached themselves to him and became believers, among them Dionysius the Aeropagite and a woman called Damaris, and others besides.
After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth,
Psalm 148: 1-2, 11-14
Alleluia!
Praise Yahweh from the heavens,
praise him in the heights.
Praise him, all his angels,
praise him, all his host!kings of the earth and all nations,
princes and all judges on earth,
young men and girls,
old people and children together.Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
for his name alone is sublime,
his splendour transcends earth and heaven.
For he heightens the strength of his people,
to the praise of all his faithful,
the children of Israel, the people close to him.
John 16: 12-15
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Athenians had many gods
Place where philosophers gathered
Where Paul gathered
Had to make sure all gods had to be honored
Paul said: You have a altar to unknown god
Paul said: Let me tell you about God —
When Paul got to the resurrection
some left —
Paul went from Athens to Corinth
He was pretty depressed from Athens
when he got to Corinth
His visit to Corinth was more fruitful
Jesus said —
John 16: 12-13
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.

Prayer for Priests
Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Jesus: Come follow Me — follow your vocation — obey and do My will,
with love, in your vocation — What good does it do you
to disobey your God —
Come to Me - all who labor and are heavily burdened — come and find
rest — I give to you and you fail to thank and love Me —
how you are indifferent and willful — your sins
offend Me — I call you to holiness — I call you to love —
I call you to praise Me —
R. I cry to You, my God, help me to be holy, help me to fight
the temptations of satan
Jesus: What would you do for someone
you love?
Have you never loved deeply?
How can you love Me or My
wishes when you have never
loved anyone —
Being obedient to the Gospel
means you love God and
love one another —
You go out —
This is how you will be judged
how you loved —
How can you enter heaven
when you have not loved —
You do not trust anyone —
really trust them to get close?
You can control your relationships
and never really love, but
how do you call this obedience
to God —
I look at you promoting yourselves
as in a race to win the
contest — the contest is
you want to win —
I call you to go out and to be
a witness to others to
love —
If you do not give yourself to
others in love, who you see,
How do you love Me who you
do not see?
I call you to love —
I am love —
You were created in My image
and likeness and I am love —
You are not like Me when you
never learn to love because
you wouldn't go out, but
focused on yourself —
I am love — to be loving
you go out — you give
yourself for the other —
You focus on My Plan —
You do My will —
Some say "It is about me"
"I do not serve"
"I should be served"
I have given and given and given
to you —
The focus is you — the contest is you —
even the persons I call
specifically to love
My Church, My priests —
to love the souls I died for —
You turn My mission into a
mission to serve
yourself —
The devil said
"I will not serve"
I gave and gave —
The saints gave and gave —
There are those who live to
be served themselves and
who criticize those
who serve
I have blessed you and you can
take My blessings and grumble
how you don't get enough
and I cry blood.
Give a gift that lasts.

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)
