                R. Why does a priest leave their vocation?

                Why does anyone rebel against their own
                    vocation and search for a plan opposed
                    to the Father's Plan

                Judas was chosen by Jesus to be an Apostle —
                Judas was not chosen to be a traitor —
                He rebelled against Jesus' calling —
                We need priests - now —
                In the future we need priests

                If we really realized God truly
                    loves us and quit looking for
                    something else to satisfy us —

                Seriously meditating on the presence
                    of God in our graced
                    baptized soul —

                The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in us —

                We want to be filled more and more with
                    this life —
                    We are hungry —

                We need to be an empty vessel ready
                    to be filled by Him —

                If we realize that God loves us —
                    this is reality — then we don't
                    seek affections as our goal
                    from others — manipulate to
                    get others affections —

                We live because God has given us a
                    vocation to love Him and love
                    others and to help them to know
                    His love and be with Him forever
                    in heaven —

                We can have attachments morbidly to
                    others wanting them to fill our
                    starved soul — created for God
                    and called to know His love and
                    tell others of Jesus' love —

                Mary — the perfect handmaid of the Lord
                    lived her life telling all about
                    the Love of her Son Jesus — Jesus
                    was her focus, doing the Father's
                    will — living as the Spouse of the Holy Spirit.

                Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is our life —

                Life is in Him —

                He died to give us this sharing in His life —

                This is the message of the Blue Books that
                    have fed so many hungry souls —

                Looking and looking for life —

                Jesus nourishes this life with Himself —
                    He gives us the Eucharist —
                    He gives us His Word —

                The message of Fatima — Mary came to
                    deliver is the message of Our Lady of Clearwater —
                    It is the message of Love —

                When we expect others who are wounded
                    too and need our prayers to fill us
                    with what only God can fill us with —
                    we are barking down the wrong
                    tree and we are frustrated, angry —
                    lift empty because God created us
                    to need Him — to be filled by Him —
                    His Divine Love and nobody can
                    fill us with this gift we were
                    created to need —

                We can never be full of His life here
                    on earth — only in heaven — so
                    there is in us always this longing
                    for completeness in Him — we can have
                    in heaven — So we are always wanting
                    more — begging for more — never
                    satisfied —

                If we know our brothers hurt us and we
                    are filled with the reality of His love —
                    we want to pray for them and pray
                    they find healing and love of God
                    deeply in their soul —

                We stand firm footed in a bath of
                    His love — dwelling in the Hearts
                    of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth —

                Dwelling in the Heart of Jesus means
                    we are receiving the source of love —
                    we are one with the Father —
                    the Holy Spirit filling us with the fire of
                    God's love — being made more holy —

                Our little heaven on earth — dwelling
                    in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary mean we
                    are being formed more and more in the
                    image and likeness of God by the Holy Spirit —
                    molded in the spiritual womb of
                    Our Lady as the Holy Spirit performs His
                    art work of molding us more likened
                    to Jesus — a greater image of Jesus and
                    Our Christ-life grows ever more full
                    as we dwell in Christ's unfathomless
                    love — Being filled more and more
                    with Christ's life and greater, one, with
                    the Father —

                This is the place Jesus talked of in last
                    week's message when I was in Florida
                    May 4, 2011.

                Presence — knowing the Place
                              — knowing the Presence of God in
                                    our graced baptized soul

                Knowing reality —

                That God truly loves us — This is real —
                    We were made for Him —

                We can fear —
                Fear of abandonment
                Fear of not getting another's affections —
                Fear of not having enough — being left out —

                For example a daughter may think having sibling rivalry —
                Fear as a child with brothers and sisters —
                    "She was the favorite daughter"
                    "I was left out"
                    One may think, "I will serve you for affections"
                    They are starved for making affections
                        from others their ultimate goal —

                When we are serving others we do it because its
                    God's will — not for vain glory —

                Jesus showed us — he came to earth to
                    show us how He lived His vocation as
                    the Son of God —
                    He lived to do the Father's will — perfectly —
                    Everything He did was in love —
                    Everything He did was to serve the Father
                        perfectly —

                Jesus said:

            I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. 
        No one can come to the Father 
            except through me. 
        If you know me, 
            you will know my Father too. 
        From this moment you know him 
            and have seen him.  
John 14: 6-7
 

                Jesus speaks:

                Life is not life if it is not rooted in Me —

                Those who know My love come from
                    a place of giving love —
                    not morbidly seeking love and affection
                    for themselves from their fellows —

                Dwelling in My Heart —
                    Your little heaven on earth —
                    The love never runs out —
                    I fill you with My love —
                    The perfect shoe in the perfect shoe box —
                    Not a mountain climber shoe in a glass slipper box
                        It's not a good fit!!

                Sing: The Summons —

                R. Will we really listen to the call of Jesus —
                Will we hear the call and respond —
                Call — Response

                God Our Father — hear us please —
                    We love You —
                    We love Jesus
                    We love the Holy Spirit

                Thank You for Your love —

                Our Lady of Fatima

                St. Paul had 2 names
                    Paul — Roman citizenship
                    Saul — Jewish heritage

                Paul wanted people who followed Christ and he would
                    throw them in jail —

                Anybody who followed the "way"
                    was following Christ —
                    He would throw them in jail —
                    Persecute them —

 

Acts 9: 1-20

Meanwhile Saul was still breathing threats to slaughter the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest and asked for letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, that would authorise him to arrest and take to Jerusalem any followers of the Way, men or women, that he might find.

It happened that while he was travelling to Damascus and approaching the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone all round him. He fell to the ground, and then he heard a voice saying, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' 'Who are you, Lord?' he asked, and the answer came, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you are to do.' The men travelling with Saul stood there speechless, for though they heard the voice they could see no one. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing at all, and they had to lead him into Damascus by the hand. For three days he was without his sight and took neither food nor drink.

There was a disciple in Damascus called Ananias, and he had a vision in which the Lord said to him, 'Ananias!' When he replied, 'Here I am, Lord,' the Lord said, 'Get up and go to Straight Street and ask at the house of Judas for someone called Saul, who comes from Tarsus. At this moment he is praying, and has seen a man called Ananias coming in and laying hands on him to give him back his sight.'

But in response, Ananias said, 'Lord, I have heard from many people about this man and all the harm he has been doing to your holy people in Jerusalem. He has come here with a warrant from the chief priests to arrest everybody who invokes your name.' The Lord replied, 'Go, for this man is my chosen instrument to bring my name before gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; I myself will show him how much he must suffer for my name.' Then Ananias went. He entered the house, and laid his hands on Saul and said, 'Brother Saul, I have been sent by the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, so that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.' It was as though scales fell away from his eyes and immediately he was able to see again. So he got up and was baptised, and after taking some food he regained his strength.

After he had spent only a few days with the disciples in Damascus, he began preaching in the synagogues, 'Jesus is the Son of God.' 

   

                "Saul, Saul why are you persecuting Me?"
                "I am Jesus"

                R. Saul couldn't see for 3 days —

                Ananias had to obey the Lord —
                even though he did not understand —
                Ananias put his hands and prayed
                    on Saul —
                and scales fell from Saul's eyes

                The Holy Spirit was upon him —

                "Proclaim to all the nations,
                    the marvelous deeds of Lord"

                "Proclaim to all the nations,
                    the marvelous deeds of Lord"

                "Proclaim to all the nations,
                    the marvelous deeds of Lord"

                St. Paul —
                    St. Paul was a missionary —
                    St. Paul wrote letters to Corinthians
                                wrote letters to Galatians
                                wrote letters to Ephesians

                    He wrote a lot of letters we read at Mass —

                Paul made a lot of changes —
                Paul worked on dietary changes for Jews —
                    rules they stuck to —

                That was a big fight —
                    what traditions they had to follow
                        and could do away with in
                        the early Church —

                Paul was led to Ananias
                Ananias baptized Paul —

                Even though Paul had seen Jesus and
                    talked to Him —
                    Paul had to be baptized —
                    Baptism is so important —

                Jesus said "why are you persecuting Me?"
                    Jesus was so close to the disciples —
                    Jesus said what you do to them
                        you are doing to Me —
                    You, Paul, are persecuting Me
                        when you do it to those I sent —

                Paul was beheaded —
                One swoosh and the head is off —

                Crucifixion was so painful —
                    So much pain —
                    Arms outstretched —
                    Have to push up with feet to
                        breath —

                So painful —
                They lingered and lingered —

                So when Christ died they
                    broke their legs so they
                    wouldn't linger sometimes

                Baptism is important
                How we treat each other is important —

                Jesus said that you have to
                    eat My flesh and drink My blood

                So many turned away at this —
                But Jesus didn't go after them —
                We believe this is truly the Body and
                    Blood of Christ —

                Tomorrow's reading —
                    they are leaving Jesus because
                        He told them they should
                        eat His Body and Blood —

                Jesus said to the disciples "Will you
                    leave?" —

                Peter said
                    "No, You have the words of
                        eternal life."

                We are called by Jesus —
                Will we do it His way —
                Or will we rebel and fight His way —

                Sing: One bread, One Body

                We are sisters and brothers
                    offering sacrifice to God

                Sing: Taste and See

                You come to me, my Jesus in the
                    Eucharist and
                    I LOVE YOU —

                Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul

 

                Come to me, my Jesus —
                    I long for Your Presence —
                    Come to me, My God —
                    Oh Father I want that oneness
                        with God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit

                Jesus: I love you, I love you,
                    I love you —

                R. Let your heart burn with
                    the love of God —
                    This is real
                    God loves us — so much 

 

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.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

    

                R. The Fragrance of Jesus —
                Your love fills me

                Sing: They will know We are Christians by Our Love

                    Mary Magdalene came and washed
                Jesus' feet with her tears and
                wiped them with her hair —
                Did Jesus not know — He knew
                    all things —
                She put her perfume on Jesus'
                    feet —

                 How does Jesus treat the sinner —

                To those with a contrite heart —
                    He outpours His mercy —
                    but to the proud of heart —
                    Jesus knows their lies —
                    Jesus knows the disposition of
                        the heart —
                    Jesus reads the hearts —

                Jesus wants hearts likened to His —

                  Judas wanted the money for
                    Mary Magdalene's perfume.

                Judas said that perfume should be
                    sold for money and given
                    to the poor —

                If God asks us for something —
                    why do we say no, but
                    give Him something else —

                Bishop Sheen said —
                    the sin of youth is lust —
                    middle-aged men — the sin
                        of power
                    old men — the sin of avarice

                "for it is a kind of economic
                    immortality I have provided
                    for myself"

                What was the cause of Judas
                    falling?

                Why is there a break in the
                    priesthood?

                Judas left the night of the
                    Eucharist, Bishop
                    Sheen says —

                Judas was called to be
                    an Apostle — and He
                    betrayed Our Lord —
                    He refused to follow his
                    vocation as an Apostle —

                

John 6: 67-71

Then Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘What about you, do you want to go away too?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’ Jesus replied to them, ‘Did I not choose the Twelve of you? Yet one of you is a devil.’ He meant Judas son of Simon Iscariot, since this was the man, one of the Twelve, who was to betray him.

 

                R. When do priests leave — Bishops
                Sheen says: When they lose their
                faith in the Eucharist —

                Jesus speaks: Send My Mass Book to
                    priests!!

                Circulate the Blue Books to Priests —
                Circulate the Medicine of Immortality
                    to priests —

                Circulate Fr. Joe's books
                            Fr. Carter's books

                            the Red Rosary Book

                Listen to Me —

                Begin these prayer chapters
                    praying for the priests —
                    so there will be a network of
                    prayer long after you
                    are gone in different
                    languages — praying for the
                    priests, the Church and the
                    world — dedicated to My Heart
                    and My Mother's Heart —

                Help Me reach the priests and
                    bishops with this message
                    of Our Lady of Fatima —
                    the message God the Father sent
                        at Clearwater through
                        Fr. Carter and Rita for the
                        Reign of My Sacred Heart —

                15,000,000 Priestly Newsletters loose and in
                    books in 17 years circulated
                    around the world —

                Mary's image and My face at
                    Clearwater —

                The message of the Eucharist
                    and the 2 Hearts —

                Sing: I Am the Bread of Life

 

John 6: 48-58

I am the bread of life.
Your fathers ate manna in the desert
and they are dead;
but this is the bread
   which comes down from heaven,
so that a person may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread
   which has come down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread
   will live for ever;
and the bread that I shall give
is my flesh, for the life of the world.'

    Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?' Jesus replied to them:

In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
   the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
   and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
   on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
   and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
   will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
   which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
   will live for ever.

   

                Jesus: Help Me circulate Fr. Joe's
                    homily book centered on
                    the Word and the Eucharist

                I am the Bread of Life —
                The Bread of Life is
                    the Eucharist and
                    the Word —

Carter "On Holy Saturday, 1994, Jesus told me that on the following day, Easter, I would also begin to receive messages for others. Our Lord also told me that some of these were eventually to be published in a book—and here is that book." $10

The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. The Fatima apparitions and messages received official Church approval in 1930. In giving her official approval to the Fatima event, the Church tells us that what took place at Fatima involving the three young visionaries is worthy of our belief. $5

Shepherds of Christ, a book of Spirituality Newsletters, is a compilation of the first nine newsletters from Fr. John J. Pasquini begining in August 2006. The Newsletter has been circulated to the priests and hierarchy spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart, promoting love for the Eucharist, greater love for the Church, the Priesthood, Mary and the Holy Spirit, the Mass, Prayer, and greater intimate relationship with God. $35

This book Light, Happiness and Peace is a journey into the spiritual life — an awakening of deeper life IN HIM. Here are some of the comments we received from bishops and cardinals about the book. Cardinal – Pontifical Council for Culture – Vatican City “I am sure that this book, Light, Happiness and Peace through a discussion on traditional Catholic Spirituality will contribute in bringing back prayer into the mainstream of life.” $10

In Imitation of Two Hearts - Prayers for Consolation, Renewal and Peace in Times of Suffering Fr. John J. Pasquini leads a suffering soul to the gentle Hearts of Jesus and Mary. In these most loving Hearts - the prayers by Fr. John Pasquini - help the person suffering to know more deeply the pascal mystery of death/resurrection. President of the Pontifical Council for Health $10

Authenticity, the Yellow Book of prayers by Fr. John Pasquini, can lead the soul into deeper intimacy with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, can lead to greater love of Mary which leads to the unitive life and greater holiness. The book of prayers Authenticity by Fr. John J. Pasquini is to help one grow ever deeper in the Unitive life. Apostolic Nuncio – Archbishop – Philippines “With Authenticity, much is gained in prayer, and much is accomplished through prayer. More especially if prayer is directed in behalf of the Church.” $10

“In Medicine of Immortality, Father John Pasquini offers his readers the richness of Catholic devotional prayer, the wisdom of the Fathers and, most of all, the fruits of his own prayer and meditation before the Blessed Sacrament. I recommend this book to all who wish to grow in their love for the Lord, who sustains the life of His Church through the precious gift of His Body and Blood.” Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago $10

Ecce Fides is a work dedicated to defending Catholic beliefs through reason, Scripture, and the life of the Holy Spirit. "It is important that we (as people of God) return to the source of life, our faith, which is usefully exposed in this volume, and take it out to our contemporaries, evangelizing them and their cultures and inculturating the Gospel." Cardinal – Pontifical Council for Culture – Vatican City $10

Consolation by Fr. John J. Pasquini — upon the passing of a loved one. Fr. Pasquini has done a beautiful gift of his most wonderful homily given when someone dear has died. It can be given as a tremendous gift. $10
DVD - A beautiful Mass was done by Fr. John J. Pasquini for Nursing homes and assisted living. It was done at St. Joseph's magnificent chapel — St. Joseph's assisted living in Jupiter, Florida. It last about 33 minutes. We call it the golden Nursing Home Mass from St. Joseph's. $10

Divine Mercy Chaplet CD. Prayed by Fr. John J. Pasquini $10
Holy Spirit Novena CD. Prayers and scripture readings from the Holy Spirit Novena Booklet read by Rita Ring. $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. $15
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. $15
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. $15

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) — 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

Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual. The Shepherds of Christ has prayer chapters all over the world praying for the priests, the Church and the world. These prayers that Father Carter compiled in the summer of 1994 began this worldwide network of prayer. Currently the prayers are in eight languages with the Church’s Imprimatur. We have prayed daily for the priests, the Church, and the world since 1994. Associates are called to join prayer Chapters and help us circulate the newsletter centered on spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and helping to renew the Church through greater holiness. Please form a Prayer Chapter & order a Prayer Manual.

Holy Spirit Novena Booklet. In four languages with the Imprimatur with 18 scripture readings for two complete novenas – this very powerful Holy Spirit Novena has prayers for prayers for Protection by the Blood of Jesus, Healing, Strength and Light, To Be One with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, One with Jesus, To Dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts, and the Word Alive in Our Hearts. All these prayers take about 10 minutes daily recited out loud. $1

Spirituality Handbook. Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. did 3 synopsis of the spiritual life. The Spirituality Handbook, the Priestly Newsletter 2000 Issue 3 and the Tell My People book. The way of spiritual life proposed to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates is centered in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. All aspects of the spiritual life discussed below should be viewed as means to help members develop their lives in consecration to Christ, the Sacred Heart, and to Mary, the Immaculate Heart. $3
Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
