Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

 

Jesus: God is love and in Him is no darkness.

God has given you such gifts.

I love you so much My precious soul.

I want to draw you so close to My Heart.

I give you this message.

This was 25 years ago.

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."

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

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.

May 16, 1998 - Prayer to the Father

My Father,

        With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.

        It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.

        My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.

        And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.

        I beg You Father for mercy.
        I beg You Father for assistance.
        I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.

        Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.

        Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men.

        Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne.

        We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
        We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia

Jesus: God has given you such gifts.

I made all the beauties of this earth for you.
I made nuts and food for you to eat.

I gave you each other to love.

I gave you My Church to love and serve.

I am so good to you.

I am pure love.

I am the source of love.

Your brothers are to be loved, what you do to them you do to Me.

Your life is to be an example of your love in God.

You teach in your example how you love others and live your life in obedience to God.

These are your biggest lessons before men.

What you do to others you do to Me.

Let no lies be in you.

I am absolute truth.

Examine your conscience 2 times daily.

Act of Contrition

"O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen."

Jesus: Ask to be forgiven and forgive others.
As you forgive so shall you be forgiven.

A person's child was killed in an accident with a drunk driver, unless they forgave them they would have been consumed in destroying their own life.
You can’t live an angry, bitter life and really live as I want you to.

Unforgiveness, deep-seated eats a person up.

Satan uses men to operate in,
Men who live in lies.

A person holding out in anger and bitterness is squeezing the life out of themselves.

Song: Live This Day

 

 

Song: Why do we Hurt the Ones we Love

Song: Give me Your Heart oh Jesus

Jesus: Beauty.

I am love.

 

Feast of the Holy Trinity

Proverbs 8: 22-31

‘Yahweh created me, first–fruits of his fashioning, 
    before the oldest of his works. 
From everlasting, I was firmly set, 
    from the beginning, before the earth came into being. 
The deep was not, when I was born, 
    nor were the springs with their abounding waters. 
Before the mountains were settled, 
    before the hills, I came to birth; 
before he had made the earth, the countryside, 
    and the first elements of the world. 
When he fixed the heavens firm, I was there, 
    when he drew a circle on the surface of the deep, 
when he thickened the clouds above, 
    when the sources of the deep began to swell, 
when he assigned the sea its boundaries
    —and the waters will not encroach on the shore–
    when he traced the foundations of the earth, 
I was beside the master craftsman, 
    delighting him day after day, 
    ever at play in his presence, 
at play everywhere on his earth, 
    delighting to be with the children of men.

 

Psalm 8: 4-9

what are human beings that you spare a thought for them, 
or the child of Adam that you care for him? 

Yet you have made him little less than a god, 
you have crowned him with glory and beauty, 
made him lord of the works of your hands, 
put all things under his feet, 

sheep and cattle, all of them, 
and even the wild beasts, 
birds in the sky, fish in the sea, 
when he makes his way across the ocean. 

Yahweh our Lord, 
how majestic your name throughout the world!

   

Romans 5: 1-5

So then, now that we have been justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; it is through him, by faith, that we have been admitted into God’s favour in which we are living, and look forward exultantly to God’s glory. Not only that; let us exult, too, in our hardships, understanding that hardship develops perseverance, and perseverance develops a tested character, something that gives us hope, and a hope which will not let us down, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.

 

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.

   

Feast of the Holy Trinity

May 22, 2016

INTRODUCTION – (Prov. 8,22-31; Romans 5,1-5; John 16,12-15) In the Wisdom literature of the Bible, for instance in the Book of Proverbs, from which our first reading is taken, wisdom is sometimes pictured as a person; especially a woman who tirelessly tries to lead people away from foolishness and sin. In today’s passage, wisdom is described as a person who was with God before creation and who helped God create the world. This is not to be understood as a reference to the Trinity. The revelation of the Trinity did not come until Christ came, and the Book of Proverbs was composed about 500 years before Christ. Today’s passage simply gives us a hint of things that were yet to be revealed.

HOMILY – Today I face a double challenge. First I need to say something about the Trinity, which we will never fully comprehend. Second I have to be brief, because Sister Winnie is here to talk about the work of the Comboni Mission Sisters.

The mystery of the Trinity can be summed up as a mystery of love - an intense, divine, unflinching love that unites three persons, a love that existed before creation and which will exist forever after. With a love that is beyond our comprehension, this love reaches out to us today inviting us to share in this divine love. In today’s Mass, this mysterious love of God calls for our response. Amen.
