May 9, 2013
Forty Days after Easter, Ascension Thursday
R. The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary sacramentally made
present.
We are to be imitators of
Christ – truly consecrate our
hearts to Him - live in the
Father's will and love –
Christ loved His Father –
We are to have this love
relationship with our heavenly
Father, we are to love our
neighbor as ourselves –
At the center of devotion to the
Heart of Jesus is this love. We
pray to the Holy Spirit to fill us with
the fire of God's love to love
God and all others. Christ
loved those who put Him to
death.
From His pierced side
came forth Blood and water –
Water for Baptism –
Blood for the Eucharist –
This Heart consumed with
love for men – beat it last beat
and was pierced by a soldier's
lance. In this we see what love
of neighbor is. We are on fire with
love for God and for men. We
are working to help souls to
get to heaven. We want what is
best for others in the Father's
Plan – eternal salvation –
It means we are willing to
suffer for others as Christ
showed us He did for love
of mankind. We love all men
more and more as Christ loved all –
We pray for the Church and
the whole world as Christ
asked Fr. Carter to do and start
these prayer chapters all over
the world.
We are not crippled by
giving into satan with division
and hatred for our brothers –
our plan is clear, our vocation
a calling from God in the Shepherds
of Christ to give our lives, spreading
these prayer chapters, the
message of Jesus about the
mystery of His love as given
in the Blue Books, the
importance in being united
to all the Masses going on
around the world – that
God will pour His grace and
mercy as we live our lives
loving Him and others and
living our vocation according
to God's will. We are imitators
of Christ.
We are willing to suffer for
this. We love with affection
and warmth. We live according
to God's will – We are not
''plastic people", we are loving
like Christ!!
We want all others to live
according to God's will, in love,
we do not interfere in their
living to be in their vocation
and be imitators of Christ, faithful
to their vocation –
Religious, especially faithful,
to be wed to Christ, to love and
to serve Jesus as their Spouse,
the Bridegroom of their soul.
We are moral in all our dealings –
For those called to virginity in
the Church – there is great
love to give themselves to Christ
as His Spouse. We are always
living in our relationships to
serve God, according to His will,
not going to an extreme of
affection that is against God's
will, being possessive etc. or
not going to the other extreme,
using others in selfish - possession,
bitterness, hatred displeasing
God and sinning in unloving
ways.
Loving, genuinely, to serve
God, in our vocation as He desire.
Being lovers as Jesus, imitators
of Christ, not talking about love
and never really loving and returning love
to God and others as we are
called to do.
Jesus was not cold and unattached
in His love for all. Jesus was
warm. Jesus suffered for His
love of others and He loved
always in the Father's will –
with perfect love.
The man, cold in heart, is putting
himself in spiritual bars and living not,
as an imitator of Christ,
but living opposed to God's
rule of love, of self-less
giving, of being like Christ
in His Sacred Heart of love.
Christ loved with a human
Heart. Christ had tender loving
ways. Christ came to show us
He loved humanly, with emotion.
Christ loved men sensibly –
not co-dependent, not possessive
not hatefully, not bitterly, not
rigid and cold –
Christ showed us the perfect love
of the God-Man – the love of His
human Heart –
The Sacred Heart is the symbol of
Christ's love. Christ tells us in
the letters in the Blue Book
how He wants our love in
return. We are to develop in
our ways of loving, being
imitators of Christ.
We are in touch with our
interior life, the interior
disposition of preparing our
hearts to be holy like His –
uniting to the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass in purity – Unity to
Christ's offering in the Sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally made
present. As members of the
mystical body of Christ – our
lives united in love as imitators
of Christ – united to our head
Jesus Christ –
We are imitators of Christ
interiorly in our vocation
God has called us to. Our
spiritual development is to
have a heart pure like the
Heart of Christ.
Song: Give Me Your Heart, Oh Jesus
R. We live the Christ-life –
We are rooted in Him –
Our disposition of our will
is to serve God - with
our whole heart, our whole
soul, our whole being –
We put on Christ –
...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.
R. We give ourselves in consecration
completely and entirely to God's
will – A gift to Christ of ourselves
in our vocation –
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
Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
R. We give our wills to God as
He wants us to be in the
Plan of the Father.
Our name is written on His Heart
as He told St. Margaret Mary –
Our lives lived according to how
the Sacred Heart wants our will to be –
not our agenda –
God's agenda written in the
Heart of Jesus –
Being a Christian is putting
on Christ –
living consecrated to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus –
Mary asked for reparation to her
Heart and Jesus' Heart at
Fatima –
Outrages to the Sacred Heart have been
practiced by many men, whether
they did it intentionally or in
grave sin.
We want, as members of the human
race, to help repair, if
possible, offenses against the
Heart of Jesus by showing
love, by sacrifices, by
attendance at Mass, Eucharistic
Adoration, spreading devotion
to His Heart, gratitude –
We give these in reparation,
like helping to make up
for offenses by others
against Jesus' Heart –
horribly outraged by
others.
We in the Shepherds of Christ know
it is our duty in our vocation –
to live this vocation - focusing
on reparation to the Heart
of Jesus for injury we
have caused by our sins –
in justice to God –
We have violated God by
our sins –
Mary said at Fatima we
must make reparation –
We want to bring comfort
to His Heart, horribly
outraged by the sins of
men –

R. Christ suffered and died for the
sins of all men.
Fr. Carter says:
"Yet it is not enough that
Christ has objectively satisfied
for all sins and merited all
graces. This redemptive grace
has to be distributed to each
individual as he works out his
eternal destiny. This distribution
of grace is referred to as the
subjective redemption. In this
aspect of the redemption we
all are called upon to play
our part. We share in the
reparatory work of Christ
by uniting our suffering to
His in order that redemptive
grace may be distributed
to ourselves and others."
It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church,
R. The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary sacramentally made
present.
Fr. Carter says:
"Thus do we share in the
reparatory work of Christ,
helping to restore the divine
order which has been
disrupted by sin. This
reparation of justice we perform
is not merely intended for
one's own spiritual benefit.
Rather our life of reparation
has also a communal, apostolic
aspect. Our work of reparation
have value only in so far
as they are united to the redemptive
work of Christ. His redemptive
work was intensely
communal, embracing all men.
Consequently, if our work of
reparation is to be joined to
Christ's it too should have
this social aspect."
We die to self and unite to
Christ –
A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
R. Fr. Carter says:
Pius XII in Mystici Corpus
gives us insight as to why
our practice of reparation
should have an apostolic
aspect:
"Dying on the Cross, He left to His Church the immense treasury
of the Redemption; towards this she contributed nothing. But
when those graces come to be distributed, not only does He
share this task of sanctification with His Church, but He wants
it in a way to be due to her action. Deep mystery this, subject
of inexhaustible meditation: that the salvation of many depends
on the prayers and voluntary penances which the members
of the Mystical body of Jesus Christ offer for this intention . . ."
Mystici Corpus No 55AAS35 (1943) 213
R. This reparation is to be
accompanied by the greatest
love possible –
Our love of Christ –
and our love for men –
The greater our love of
neighbor – the greater our
practice of reparation –
We are to comfort the Heart
of Christ with great love
for the offenses against His
Most Sacred Heart.
We unite our sufferings, joys,
our lives, as an offering united
to the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass – the Sacrifice of Calvary
to help make reparation
for the offenses against
Christ's Sacred Heart.
Although Christ is glorified
and suffers no more –
At the time He suffered He was
consoled by the foreknowledge
that in the future souls
would offer Him acts of
reparation.
This reparation consoled
Christ –
These retreats, our prayers
are in reparation to
the Heart of Jesus for
the offenses He suffered.
Christ suffered in His Passion
because of the foreknowledge
of our future sins. Likewise
Jesus told me –
Excerpt from the November 13, 1996 Rosary
I looked at the window at the Center where Jesus was tied to the pillar and I was crying, and I said to Jesus, "Jesus, what were You thinking of when they were beating You on Your back?" And He said to me, "I was thinking of you sitting in the pew and telling Me how you loved Me."
R. We can give joy to Christ now.
We can also speak of
consoling the Mystical Christ,
which does suffer now.
The Mystical Christ is the
Church.
Fr. Carter says:
"In so far as the actual and
potential members of the Church
suffer, we can speak
of Christ still suffering
in this mystical manner."
Christ's passion continues
in His mystical body –
Christ is glorified in
heaven, but the
mystical body of Christ
suffers in the
members on earth –
Christ is now glorified
and suffers no more, but
He suffered in His passion and
the mystical body of Christ
continues this passion on earth.
May 9, 2013
R. I fail to express, miserably,
the depth to which I want
to express, Love and what I
know of the Mystery of Christ,
the Mystery of God's love –
For God is love and He is given
to us the life-work of being
imitators of God's love as
shown in lavishing love for
His Father, Jesus showed
in the Holy Spirit, as He selflessly
outpoured His love on us, His
beloved creatures.
Light surpassing all
lights, but it is indeed a
light not in sight, a light
in the spiritual realm of
what is seen and unseen –
light in our spirit of knowing
Him of knowing the mystery
of God's love in an ever
greater fullness of
truth and reality of being
imprinted with the image
of Christ more and more on
our souls.
And He gave Himself
to His death on the cross,
outpouring lavishly His
love upon us – love
beyond love that we
men gasp to know and
seek and it reaches
fullness only in heaven
in God.
Oh but our hearts
were made for love –
wide and ready to expand –
open and frustrated to
thirst as we do, for that
which can never reach
fullness, here below –
Oh Redeemer, help me to bask
in Your lavishing love
for me and all men to know
more fully the mystery
of it all – the mystery
of life, of love –
Let the heavens declare
the works of the Lord –
Let men call a trumpet
day for He lavishly tells
His people His truths
into this mystery in
these writings given
to me and the wise will
learn from them –
The secret given
to men and they are
pompous in their ways
to oppose the will of God –
Satan is the great opposer
who stands at every
Mass next to the priest
wanting to keep men from
the humble, adoration
of God – the unity of
such a pure and holy
sacrifice offered to
the Father –
Christ the victim
Christ the priest –
Christ our beloved is
the focus of the wise –
Oh God implant in me
greater unity that I
may be more and more
selflessly Your
instrument of great
and holy love –
Abandonment of selfish
ways –
For satan is an opposer
to deep and united prayer –
he wants to tear apart –
what is so beautifully
present before us
if we let go - to God
to be as He wants
us to be –
Oh the altar –
Oh the sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made present –
The pleasing sacrifice offered
to the Father
Love – Love
between Father and Son –
The interior life of
the Trinity –
Deep – Deep – Deep –
Deeper, Deeper, Deeper –
Deepest, Deepest, Deepest
Perfect Unity –
3 Persons –
1 God
Perfection –
3 Persons
1 God
3 Persons

From the Father |
The man opposing
Me
Stops blessings
Stops graces –
I will give great graces and blessings
to one who obeys the will of My Father
as I did on the cross –
In My whole life I showed how
important structure is.
You are blessed for following
structure and
living by the Father's will and
following the Father's plan –
He who does the Father's
will helps to bring down grace
for the whole Church
and the whole world –
I called these retreats for
this and I
have appeared and given My
messages through Rita
When you do the will of God you
help to bring down blessing for the
whole world
When you oppose the structure,
I set, you oppose Me –
You stop the blessings
I want to give you for
your disobedient ways.
What did I think of when
I was whipped –
you praying united in
these retreats
in China and
in Florida
at Mass, you were sweetness
in My bitter passion
Satan opposes
Satan wants to stop what the
Father is asking for –
You can serve God or satan –
You have a free will.
A child can listen to
their mother and
ice the cake –
Or they can do it
their own way, ignore
their mother and
make a mess –
The man serving God –
lives in greater
selflessness and in
the Plan of the Father –
You are to seek to be pure
to seek a heavenly reward
forever –
I gave Rita the apparitions
of My Heart to show you
in the Blue Books and Rosaries
from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
My great desire to be loved by men –
On December 17, 1991
I saw a
vision of Jesus' Heart
on fire after communion –
He said – I didn't know
how this Heart would
lead people to His
Sacred Heart.
December 17, 1991 Jesus:
I am
Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on
this earth. His Burning Heart R.
I was alone
in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle,
when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of
yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked
like an open furnace. end of writing
I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace
and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to
draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following
message that day:
"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is
ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others
through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set
aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."
Jesus: Satan wants your ruin and
he leads you by
tempting you to oppose Me
and show others your
hateful ways.
I was the victim of men
who whipped My face
and pounded thorns into
My head –
Men who were full of hate
and opposed Me for satan.
I reveal My messages, My
Heart of love, so men
will go to the Eucharist
and beg to be possessed by
God and from their
prayers and their lives as
members of the mystical
body of Christ can help bring
down grace I will outpour
for their faithfulness to Me.
I will open the flood gates
of heaven on the world –
Satan wants you to put
yourselves in
opposition to Me.
I call you to Mass, May 13, 2013,
96th Anniversary of
Mary's Apparitions at Fatima –
I call you to come and pray
Monday, May 13, 2013 –
11:00a.m. to 5:00p.m.
"Bend the stubborn heart
and will
Melt the frozen
Warm the chill –
Guide the steps that
go astray" –
My Heart is a treasure
of love I give to the
world in My letters of
love in God's Blue Book –
I give the treasures of
love, of mercy, of
salvation, of
sanctification
These are My treasures
of My Heart –
You can oppose Me – My love
given to the world.
To realize My love and not to
love in return as a Christian
is to do: that is to love God and
love others, is a worse state to be in.
Having knowledge of the will
of God calling you to love,
One can refuse to love God and others –
really love. Be loving.
You are to be in a relationship
with God –
I love you so much –
there is a commitment to Me –
there is a covenant with Me –
You leave out 1/2 of the relationship Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus
said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the
greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You
must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments
hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
when you know you are to
return love and do not
give real love back.
Jesus: You are in a worse state
spiritually when
you know you are to love Me
and others and refuse to love.
Holding back your love and
sinning and being unloving
to God and those I call
you to love –
My Heart is a symbol of love –
Consecration to My Heart means
you return love –
Satan is deceiving some
majorly –
Who are you saving your hearts for?
Why do you oppose the Father's will?
I am God, I created you to love –
Why do some of you slap My face
and put thorns in My head
for your pride?
Why do you oppose the Father's will?
Why do you block unity?
My retreats, the 5ths, the 13ths,
is to pray for grace,
healing grace for you,
the Church and the world –
To help make reparation to My Heart
for the atrocious sins by men
against My Sacred Heart.
Surrender yourself to Me in
consecration out of love – this
touches the very essence of
Christianity.
When the Christian makes such
a loving commitment to Me,
that Christian is telling
Me that he wishes to
assume his part in
Salvation History.
He says he is willing to
assume his part in My
body, in the Church.
The Church is My Mystical
Body which works in
union with Me as the Head.
Help in the work of redemption.
Give yourself at Mass –
2 thousands years ago I
walked the earth, teaching,
healing the sick, forgiving
sins, now I want you as the
members of the Mystical Body
to unite to Me, the Head,
while you are praying united as I directed
Fr. Carter, for the priests, the Church
and the world.
You are to learn to be obedient
to those over you in the
Church – You cannot be united
to Me and serve satan, lie
and give into temptation to
satan to oppose Me. I am Jesus.
Satan is the father of lies –
I am the Redeemer.
I won for men of all time
the necessary graces for
their salvation and sanctification.
However, it is necessary that such
graces be distributed to each
individual as this individual
plays out his part in the
drama of human existence.
Such a distribution of grace
to individuals is the work
of subjective redemption.
R. Christ is the head of the
Mystical Body, the Church.
Work to help souls get to
heaven forever.
Christ walked this earth those many
years ago in His physical body and
through such a body objectively
redeemed the world. Today He
still walks the earth completing
His work in Redemption. However,
He now walks the earth according
to a different type of existence.
He does not walk the earth in
His physical body, but rather
His Mystical Body, the Church.
Christ, then through the members
of His Church, continues
to be present to men as He
teaches, administers the sacraments,
extends His mercy –
through the members
of the Mystical Christ, the
Church. This Mystical Christ,
in turn, derives all supernatural
power from the Head, Christ,
who reigns gloriously in heaven
with the Father in the Holy Spirit.
...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.
R. Every member has a responsibility
as a member of the mystical body
to follow God's plan, and be obedient
to God's Plan, not disobey God
to serve satan.
Jesus: Every Christian is a unique
imitation of the Trinity –
R. Christ continues His
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
Incarnation and Redemption
in each one of us –
We are to give ourselves
to Christ –
Jesus: I have called you to live
in goodness and truth and
beauty and love –
I want to live in you.
Look at the grandeur of
your vocation –
Your vocation demands
you answer My call
to do what you are
called by God to do
under obedience –
not be slothful
You have a free will –
You can obey God or
serve satan.
Do you give a bad example to
others creating confusion?
There is no
"Jesus and I" Christianity
Individualistic
True Consecration to My Heart
is total commitment
to Me and My cause!!
It is APOSTOLIC
Being a member of the
mystical body demands
community relationships
in heart and love –
communication and a
desire to do God's will
first and always –
Being on fire with the
love of Christ is
APOSTOLIC
To Christianize the world
Total commitment to Me,
the Sacred Heart.
John 14: 23
Jesus replied:
Anyone who loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we shall come to him
and make a home in him.
R. Christ is Chief Priest and victim
Through union with the Heart
of Jesus we are so one with
Father and Holy Spirit –
We are wrapped in Divine Love –
The source of Love –
A taste of perfection –
Perfect Divine Love
Devotion to the Heart of Jesus helps
us develop in our interior
life – This helps us to balance
our life interiorly with our life
exteriorly in the world --
Fountain of Living Waters
John 8: 29
he who sent me is with me,
and has not left me to myself,
for I always do what pleases him.
R. Checks and balances
In the world the
money is in the bank –
To draw it out we must have
the correct account number.
We can write checks
We must balance our budget –
We can be like the son who
used his inheritance and
then had no money –
Luke 15:11-32
The lost son (the ‘prodigal’) and the dutiful son
Then he said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, let me have the share of the estate that will come to me," So the father divided the property between them. A few days later, the younger son got together everything he had and left for a distant country where he squandered his money on a life of debauchery.
When he had spent it all, that country experienced a severe famine, and now he began to feel the pinch; so he hired himself out to one of the local inhabitants who put him on his farm to feed the pigs. And he would willingly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating but no one would let him have them. Then he came to his senses and said, "How many of my father’s hired men have all the food they want and more, and here am I dying of hunger! I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired men." So he left the place and went back to his father.
‘While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him. Then his son said, : "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the calf we have been fattening and kill it; we will celebrate by having a feast, because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found." And they began to celebrate.
‘Now the elder son was out in the fields, and on his way back, as he drew near the house, he could hear music and dancing. Calling one of the servants he asked what it was all about. The servant told him, "Your brother has come, and your father has killed the calf we had been fattening because he has got him back safe and sound." He was angry then and refused to go in, and His father came out and began to urge him to come in; but he retorted to his father, "All these years I have slaved for you and never once disobeyed any orders of yours, yet you never offered me so much as a kid for me to celebrate with my friends. But, for this son of yours, when he comes back after swallowing up your property -- he and his loose women -- you kill the calf we have been fattening.
‘The father said, "My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours. But it was only right we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found.’
R. Jesus died for us and gives us
a sharing in His
life –
Donate a key for the piano behind where Mary's image face was.
Individual keys are $113 donation. An octave is $704 donation.
We will put up a display framed with the names of those who donate behind where Mary's image face was.

Dear Friends,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.
When Mary's image was knocked out what remained was an old grand piano someone who is now dead (old age) gave that was there grandma's. It did not work then.
It was painted and very, very old and I would worry about the legs giving out.
Jesus told me to replace it a while ago.
We had someone come and it never got out of here yet–
Jesus told me to buy a new piano by the alter, behind where Mary's image is to play when we have the services up there.
I can only do this if we have the money He says.
We will begin a fund for the piano behind where Mary's image was destroyed on March 1, 2004.
This is a lasting honor to contribute to this.
Thanks, RitaCall Doris – 513-477-4242

Dear Friend,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.
Jesus asked us to finish one room in the priest house, so a priest could stay there. We have been working on this room for 6 months. We need $3,000 for the carpet, shades and furniture. Could anyone help us with a donation for the priest house to complete this room?We have been working on the priest house for 6 years. Jesus would like a priest be able to stay there.
Thanks

Guiding Light
- Reflect on the Word
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.

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 - 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 - 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 |
