R. The way of joy is to keep
His commandments
May God have mercy on us
Jesus came for us all
Jesus is our Savior
Song: A Song from Jesus
Acts 10: 25-26, 34-35, 44-48
and as Peter reached the house Cornelius went out to meet him, fell at his feet and did him reverence. But Peter helped him up. 'Stand up,' he said, ' after all, I am only a man!'
Then Peter addressed them, I now really understand, he said, that God has no favourites, but that anybody of any nationality who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
While Peter was still speaking the Holy Spirit came down on all the listeners. Jewish believers who had accompanied Peter were all astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit should be poured out on gentiles too, since they could hear them speaking strange languages and proclaiming the greatness of God. Peter himself then said, 'Could anyone refuse the water of baptism to these people, now they have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?' He then gave orders for them to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterwards they begged him to stay on for some days.
R. Peter was at prayer and a sheet
came down from heaven
The Holy Spirit came upon the
pagan Gentiles
Peter said they could be
baptized
1 John 4: 7-10
My dear friends,
let us love one another,
since love is from God
and everyone who loves
is a child of God and knows God.
Whoever fails to love does not know God,
because God is love.
This is the revelation
of Gods love for us,
that God sent his only Son into the world
that we might have life through him.
Love consists in this:
it is not we who loved God,
but God loved us and sent his Son
to expiate our sins.
John 15: 9-17
I have loved you
just as the Father has loved me.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept
my Fathers commandments
and remain in his love.
I have told you this
so that my own joy may be in you
and your joy be complete.
This is my commandment:
love one another,
as I have loved you.
No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends,
if you do what I command you.
I shall no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know
the masters business;
I call you friends,
because I have made known to you
everything I have learnt from my Father.
You did not choose me,
no, I chose you;
and I commissioned you
to go out and to bear fruit,
fruit that will last;
so that the Father will give you
anything you ask him in my name.
My command to you
is to love one another.
R. One of Fr. Joe's favorite parts about
the Sunday paper is the funnies
A mom was taking a bath
the kids were knocking on door
saying Mom, mom
Is it urgent, she said?
they said "yes"
Mom got out of the tub
She jumped over toys
The kids were in the living room
looking out the picture
window saying "hurry"
"hurry"
When she got there there was
an Ice Cream truck, and
the children said
"thanks to you, we missed it"
"what took you so long"
Happy Mother's Day from Fr. Joe
Love is not warm-fuzzy-feelings
all the time
We love because God commands
us to love
Jesus said we have to love our
neighbor as ourselves
We have to love ourselves to
love our neighbor
Jesus raises the 'anti' when He
says
"Love as I have loved you"
Jesus is teaching us to love like Him
When Fr. Joe was a young priest
He was busy teaching 6 hours
a day, counseling and he
heard Jesus say,
"I no longer call you slaves
but friends"
Jesus wants us to spend time with
Him in prayer not just
do the ministry
Also be joyful
Fr. Joe says : "if you want
to be more joyful,
then pray to be more loving"
We pray for all mothers, surrogate
mothers, anyone who mothers,
to be loving
We pray for leaders to do all things
for the honor and glory of God
A war
When Mary appeared on May 13, 1917,
they knew the effects of
World War I
Men were fighting on foot
Men in dugouts hiding
A Brutal War
Men's bodies were blown up
Mary came to children praying
the Hail Mary at Fatima
Mary told them what to do and
She said if you don't
a worse war will break
out
You will see a light in the sky
And World War II came with its
destruction
Men became less and less focused on
God after that
Remember Hitler?
Remember the devastation?
Remember the persecution of the
Jews?
In World War I
Bodies were thrown on heaps
torn, dead bodies
The Cold War
Remember this?
Pope John Paul II was shot May 13, 1981
He went to Fatima on May 13, 1982
after he recovered
11 years later I got this message
driving from Conyers
The sun pulsated by my car from
Conyers, Georgia to my house
This was to be the first message
in Blue Book I given 18 years ago
Cling to Me
May 13, 1993
Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

R. Mary appeared to me daily
July 5, 1994 September 11, 1995
This was when Shepherds of Christ began
in the summer of 1994.
Then Mary appeared at Clearwater
on December 17, 1996 for
7 1/2 years
Mary's image head was destroyed
now we are getting statues with
the glass in people's homes, who
are praying the prayers
Mary's face was not seen on
the image
The image to remind us of the
Covenant God made with
Noah came in Rainbow Color
On March 22, 1994 the corner fell off
the old seminary on Lucia's
birthday
Jesus said no one was listening
I will send a big boom
Acid was thrown on the image
face of Mary
After a storm it was gone
Hurricanes raged Florida after
Mary's image head was
destroyed in 2004
God has kept us in the building
14 years
Mary has appeared to me in
Clearwater, Florida and
in China
As recently as May 4th 9 days ago
She appeared all night
She gave me this picture of
her face with the
burning Heart of Jesus in
her eye
I asked for a sign from her
Today she said at Mass
Mary: See through the eyes of love
See through the eyes of Jesus' Heart
Jesus said: Measure it (what you do)
with a heart of love
I saw a heart with a tape
measure on it
God the Father gave strong messages
13 days ago
May 1, 2012 click
From my mouth He delivered
these messages verbally
People who are to help me
use the Movement in
anger, control, holding
out He said
What about doing the job?
Do you want to do what He said
or is it all about you?
The devil wants people to be so
angry they don't even do
the simple thing God asks
for
God is love
God is not calling people to
hurt His Movement in anger
This is my 9th day of prayer
this month since
God the Father's messages.
Tomorrow Fr. Don is coming
that makes 10
days of prayer
God wants unity in prayer.
Satan comes to tear apart
families, tear apart
homes, communities,
religious orders,
parishes, churches
I deliver the message of love
Fr. Joe, my brother's book is a
message of the Gospel and love
love of Jesus truly present
in the Eucharist
A person to love God must love
himself as God intends
first how can you love
your brother when you
really don't love yourself
Keep yourself clean from sin
God created us in His image
and likeness
God is love
God wants holiness

R. The family is to be built
in love
God instituted marriage
between a mother and
father, a woman and a
man, to be able to build
this family of love
There are Three Persons
in One God The Trinity
Relationships! God wants us
to have relationships
God wants families living
together and loving
Mom and Dad the parents
and the children to obey
and love and work together
to build the family
We were created uniquely
with a purpose
God made us come as
little babies, little
people that need to
learn and to grow
We come little and
hopefully grow
old before we die,
but some die young
God puts us in the world
God takes us, unless we
try to interfere
We only have so many days
to be babies and children
and teenagers and
young married adults
etc.
Some babies even die
young, but God is the
author of life
God created us for a purpose
God wants us to go to heaven
forever
We are to help each other
to love each other
to work with each other
We are all in God's family
We are to love each other
and work with each
other to build the
Kingdom of God
Softly loving each other
from the heart
Doing the best we can
in everything God calls
us to do
Sometimes people lose
moms and dads, young
children
People have moms and dads
then they can become
grandmas and grandpas
and then even great-grandmas
and great-grandpas.
God brings us into the
world. We have a mom and
a dad Some moms and dads
are mature and good in
relationships
Some not so good in relationships
We have needs to live we
need air to breathe we
need food and sun and
water
God created us in His
image and likeness God
is love
God wants relationships
God puts us with others
to work in love God is love
In heaven there is relationships
and love
Why does God sometimes let
a little baby to die
And then lets somebody
be very old
We must love and know
that we are to get to
heaven and be one there
too
God gives us the sky and
the sun and the birds,
the beauty of the world
Dear Mary, our Mother,
help us to see that God
is calling us to love
Heaven is a place of love
Our hearts were made for love.
God is offended by the
envy, jealousy, anger of
many hearts and the unloving
ways of men
Why do men punish their
brothers and not work in
harmony as brothers as
God commands us
God gives us each other
to help and to love, to
work in relationships
We can't see our whole
life, but we have many
beautiful things that
happen and there may
be tragedies in our lives
We are called to be just
with one another and truthful
and building the Kingdom
of God
God wants us to accept
His will even in suffering,
not hurt others because
we hurt.
People in pain may want
to strike out at others,
but if we love God we
know we have to follow
in the footsteps of Jesus and
He shows us Jesus
carried His cross
If we follow Jesus, we
know we must identify
our suffering with Jesus,
not act out anger on
others.
We can do two things
with suffering and pain
rebel against it and punish
others
identify it with Jesus and
live the Father's will
The rule of life is living
the Father's will in love
Mary teaches us how to live
the Father's will in love
Jesus shows us how He
did the Father's will
For life we need to eat
For our spiritual life
Jesus gives us Himself
in the Eucharist
We have had a mother
that carried us
Our spiritual Mother
is Mary
We are one family under
God
Mary is Mother of all
Mary teaches us about
being a holy Family
Mary teaches mothers
how to mother
Mary is our Mother
walking by our
side
Love is the answer
Doing all things for the
honor and glory of God
makes us happy
Doing God's will makes
us happy
God wants us to pray as
a family
Parents to teach children
to pray
Mary says:
The family that prays
together stays together
We need to see our every
breath depends on
God
Our every heart beat
depends on God
We need to love because God
commands us to love
It is why we were created
to love
There is evil in the hearts
of many men and there
is good
They have a free will to do
good or evil
Some people provoke and
punish others to control
them
Rather then loving they really
do evil
Some do it passively to
attack in passive
ways
Some cannot feel because
they have so much
pain from the past
So they provoke others to
act out pain because
they are numb
This is unloving and it
makes them more
numb
Death can cause pain and
it needs to be worked
out and healed,
abuse can cause pain
and it needs to be
worked out and healed
Stuffing feelings makes
a person hard in heart and
they can keep being bitter
and punishing others in
passive-aggressive or
aggressive ways
Song: Why Do we Hurt the Ones We Love
Psalm 51: 3-6, 12-14, 17
A prayer of contrition
For I am well aware of my offences,
my sin is constantly in mind.
Against you, you alone, I have sinned,
I have done what you see to be wrong,
that you may show your saving justice
when you pass sentence,
and your victory may appear when you give judgement,
remember, I was born guilty,
a sinner from the moment of conception.
But you delight in sincerity of heart,
and in secret you teach me wisdom.
Give me back the joy of your salvation,
sustain in me a generous spirit.
I shall teach the wicked your paths,
and sinners will return to you.
Deliver me from bloodshed, God, God of
my salvation,
and my tongue will acclaim your saving justice.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit,
a broken, contrite heart you never scorn.
Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. p. 55
Mary's spiritual motherhood toward us had its beginnings at the time of the Incarnation. As Mary conceived Christ in a physical manner, she at the same time conceived us in a spiritual manner. In her holy womb she bore both Christ, the Head, and us, His members.
The second great stage in Mary's maternal relationship toward us was accomplished upon Calvary. There, in extreme spiritual suffering, she offered Christ to the Father. From the pierced side of Christ the Church was born. Mary, in the extreme anguish of spiritual childbirth, brought us forth to supernatural life. "Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son'. Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' " (Jn 19:26).
The third and final phase of Mary's spiritual motherhood is a continuing process. Under God, she gives us our life of grace. In her maternal love she protects and nourishes this life. She intercedes for all the graces necessary for its proper growth. As Mary cooperated with the Holy Spirit in first giving Christ to men, so she continues the same cooperation in regard to each Christian. Through the life of grace Christ is meant to take deeper and deeper possession of each one of us. Mary and the Holy Spirit continually labor to achieve this. Mary's only desire for us is that we grow more and more into the full stature of Christ. Her overwhelming love for us is evident. We manifest our love for her by committing ourselves to her maternal love and care so that she can achieve her desired purpose. That purpose, again, is to form Christ in us.
end of excerpt
R. I can touch my foot, my hair,
but I cannot touch my happiness,
my sadness,
God calls people to love
God created us to love
To be unloving to our neighbors
is to sin
I do not touch my soul
I do not touch envy and
jealousy and yet it
is an energy that can
lead a person to hurt
others they are to help
and respect and love
In baptism we are commissioned
to go out and spread the Good
News
God calls us to action
We can't hold back what He is
calling us to do and say
we are justified to be
angry, jealous, hateful
of others and therefore we
can skip doing what God
is telling us to do

message
God has all the power
We are not victims
God is in control

We have to change our
lethargical attitude

That's why Mary appeared Our
Lady of Clearwater
When will we listen
Some people want to be right
on top act smart
God has all the power
Haven't we ignored these
messages enough
Where is our faith
God is in charge
Mary said yesterday
"You have ignored me"
R. Should we get up today and ignore
her
It's our way to ignore this message
Get out of the Church
start ignoring the message
Listen to people who just
want to give an opinion
God has called us in the Shepherds of Christ
to lead this Movement to help
renew the Church and the world

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.
I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.
I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996.

Do you say that's nice then

That's what happened to Jeremiah
Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
July 19, 2009
HOMILY: There was a man who worked in a museum whose job it was to explain the different exhibits. On one occasion he pointed to the bones of a dinosaur saying the bones were 100 million and 9 years old. Someone asked how they could date those bones so accurately. He said well, when I started working here, I was told these bones were 100 million years old and Ive worked here for nine years.
Today I want to give everyone a little history lesson. Im not going back to the dinosaurs, but I am going back pretty far to King David, 1000 years before Christ. When I was in school, I hated history. It wasnt until we studied the history of the Old Testament in the seminary that I began to appreciate it. I cannot cram 1000 years of history into a couple of minutes. I just want to touch on the parts of Jewish history that are mentioned in todays reading. If you want to learn more, read everything in the Old Testament, but be sure you have a commentary to help you. Otherwise, youll give up in despair because you wont know what its all about - especially the prophets and the historical books.
When David was king 1000 years before Christ, David wanted to build a house for God, since there was no Temple for God at that time. God did not give David permission to do so, however God promised David through the prophet Nathan that he would bless him and build David a house in the sense that Davids kingdom would continue forever and one of his descendants would always rule. This blessing lasted through the reign of Davids son, Solomon; but we humans somehow have the ability to sabotage Gods blessings. Solomon turned to pagan gods and over-extended the country financially by elaborate building projects and exorbitant taxes, so when Solomon died there was a rebellion and most of Israel broke away from Solomons successor, Davids grandson, Rehoboam. Rehoboam continued to rule over the southern part of Israel, the area we know as Judaea . For 400 years (and this is amazing) the kings of Judaea were descendants of King David. The northern kingdom that rebelled against Davids successors suffered under a succession of kings and rebellions. In less than 300 years the northern kingdom was destroyed by the Assyrians, people from northern Iraq. About 100 years after that, the Babylonians from southern Iraq conquered the Assyrians and took control of the entire Middle East. The conquest of the Babylonians brings us up to Jeremiah whom we heard in todays first reading. At the time of Jeremiah, here was the situation: the northern kingdom no longer existed. The southern kingdom, Judaea, was still being ruled by Davids descendants but they were not loyal to God or to Gods laws. Jeremiah spoke to these kings as they came into power, the last four being: Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoikin and Zedekiah. Zedikiah, the last reigning king, died in disgrace. After the Babylonians captured him, his sons were slaughtered before his eyes, he was then blinded and led off to Babylon in chains where he presumably died. You can read how Jeremiah spoke with them in great detail in the book of Jeremiah. He told them exactly what they needed to do to survive the invading forces of Babylon. His messages were ignored. He blames them and their leadership for the destruction that came upon Gods people. As we heard in todays first reading, God speaks through Jeremiah: Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture. God said he would take over shepherding his people; he would bring them back from exile; he would appoint leaders over them who would serve them well and lead them to peace and security. It took 600 years before God thought the world was ready for this king who would reign and govern wisely, who would do what is just and right in the land.
But then he came, through the announcement of an angel to a virgin who was engaged to a man named Joseph of the house of David, and the virgins name was Mary. And the angel said to her Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.
In last weeks gospel, Jesus sent his apostles out to heal and cast out demons and to call people to repentance. In todays gospel we are told of their return, excited over their experience and tired. Jesus wanted to some time off, but he couldnt. The mission of Jesus and his apostles apparently was so successful that a great crowd caught up with them before they had chance to catch their breath. Mark describes Jesus taking compassion on them (his heart was moved with deep sympathy for them would probably be a better translation). He saw them as sheep without a shepherd, - people without leadership, and he began to teach them.
One of the important messages in todays readings is that in love our Lord leads us, by teaching us and appointing others to teach us. But we need to listen, and we need to keep on listening. Well never be finished listening and learning as long as our world suffers from injustice, poverty, hunger, discrimination, war, hatred and killing of innocent people. Christ would be put to death before he would stop teaching. It is to our own great loss when we stop listening. Thats one of the reasons we are here each weekend, to listen and to learn. We call ourselves disciples. The word disciple means learner. When weve quit learning, weve quit being a disciple.
R. Do you hear this message?
