A Few Thoughts
June 23, 2026

I watched a little bird try to
fly on my back porch.
He tried to fly, did a little
and returned to the ground.
Then he did it again and again.
A little run on his little feet,
a take off, in the air about
2 feet high, a short distance,
then down to the ground on
his little feet, a landing and
then he did it again.
It is a new day, other birds
I heard singing sweetly.
I know nothing of birds,
 really, but the Omnipotent
God created all these things,
made the heavens and the
earth and then at the perfect
time made man
in His own image and
likeness to love,
to love Him, to know Him,
to serve Him.

God created an orderly
harmonious world, even the
animals were in harmony.

God created day and night and
from the side of Adam
He made Eve to be with Adam
and God gifted them,
He gave them gifts, every good
hing, and Eve sinned, she
disobeyed God. Sin entered
the world and with it
disharmony, disease, death,
division, chaos, strife
between men and woman,
animals not helpmates, etc.

Jesus came, the Son of God,
our Savior, a baby from Mary.
Mary was conceived without
sin to bare the Son of God.

The Angel Gabriel came and
asked Mary to be the Mother
of Jesus, the Mother of God.
Mary conceived by the power
of the Holy Spirit
and she brought forth the child
Jesus in a stable in Bethlehem.

Jesus was a little boy at the
skirt of His Mother Mary and
St. Joseph was chosen His
foster Father.

We know a few things of His
private life, but Jesus was
very close to His Mother.
There was such love and
bonding between Jesus
and Mary.

We know Jesus lived the
quiet life united deeply to
His Mother for 30 years.

Mary held Him as a baby,
watched Him grow,
St. Joseph helped Jesus
be the man He was at 30.

Jesus knew He was about
His Father’s business at 12
in the Finding in the temple.
Jesus loved His Father,
Jesus was and always was
a Divine Person, even though
He had two natures: a Divine
nature and a human nature.
Jesus was obedient always
to His Father.

  

The point I make is this.
The world belongs to Christ!
We should feel at home in the
world. The individual Christian,
the Church and the world are
to be growing in the image
of Jesus.

When Jesus died Mary was
under the cross. Jesus in His
dying words gave Mary to
John, to us under His cross.

Mary and Jesus were one as
His little Heart was formed
in her womb - Jesus’ Heart
and Mary’s heart in one body
when she was pregnant.

Jesus was with His Mother,
His private life, in His public life,
at her intercession He performed
the first miracle of His public life.

When Jesus died He gave Mary
to us, to John, to the priest.

In order for this spiritual birthing
of growing more in the image of
Jesus to take place, we need a
Mother and the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit came in tongues
of fire on Pentecost after Jesus
ascended into heaven.

Mary was Mother at Jesus’ side,
Mary is Mother of the Church.

Mary is Singular Vessel:
daughter of the Father (our
Creator), Mother of Jesus,
the Son, Spouse of the
Holy Spirit.

That union between Divinity
and humanity is most perfected
in Jesus, the New Adam and
Mary, the New Eve. Mary is
Mother of the human race.
Mary is Mediatrix of Grace.
Mary is Queen of Heaven
and Earth.

God is love. Mary held the child
Jesus at birth, Mary held Him
under the cross.

Through His pierced Heart the
Church was born.
Mary is our Mother too,
Mary is Spouse of the Holy Spirit.
Mary is Mother of the Eucharist.
Mary is Mother of the priest,
Jesus gave her to John under
the cross.

This is love. Jesus was with
His Mother His whole life -
then Mary is there at Pentecost.

We need love, unity, hearts that
are warm caring like a family.
God is love with the evils in the
world we can be more stand-offish,
less warm, less united, less loving
…

Jesus was warm, kind, loving.
Are we like Jesus?
Are we afraid to trust God?
Are we in relationships of love
with the Trinity?
Do we pray the rosary and meditate
on the lives of Jesus and Mary -
so we can live like Him in our lives -
Hearts of love?

This is a love story.
Look at His birth.

Look at His death.

John 3:16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

Jesus came a sweet tiny baby.

We need Mary in the picture
not like a picture on the wall.

She is the Mother.

In the Church we are sons and
daughters of the Father.

Jesus comes to us Body, Blood,
Soul and Divinity,

We need relationships -
like a family in love.

The Trinity is the most perfect
community.
Love, Love, Love.

And Mary is Mother.

Let not your hearts be troubled.

Perfect love cast out fear.
Amen.

Mary and Jesus’ Hearts of
greatest love - help our hearts
to be filled in holy love.

Mary stands by the altar
interceding for her children,
she loves soooo sooo much.

The Mass, the Eucharist, the
greatest love.

Thank You God.

I love You, God so much…

Such a gift of love - the Mass,
the Church.

Little birds try to fly - we go
higher flying with Jesus and
Mary at our side.

Heavenly Mother take us to
the Heart of your Son Jesus,
help us to love God, more
and more.

We go to her Motherly heart
and she teaches us about love.

  
 

Jesus came to teach us His way.

God is love.

There is no division in the Heart of Jesus.

The Our Father says:…
And deliver us from evil

Lead us not into temptation

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Endearing love for our Father

No division in the Heart of Jesus!!!!




In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary -
complete purity and love.

 

Like the Mass

Complete Divine love.




I had some silver when I got
married -

It got so tarnished - yuck

Sin tarnishes.

Jesus came, the Son of God
Divinely perfect love to Save us.

Jesus the greatest sacrifice
to atone for sin!

Sing: The Rosary Song

 

The Visitation

1. The womb of Mary is a Sacred
    Place. Oh Holy Mary, you are
    such a gift to the human race.
2. Mary is the New Eve. Mary
    obeyed the Father’s will if
    carrying a pebble or a boulder.
3. Mary and Jesus in one body
    because Mary was carrying
    Jesus in her Sacred womb.

    Elizabeth her cousin, thought
    barren and old, was 6 months
    pregnant.
5. Mary is our spiritual Mother.
    Jesus gave Mary as our Mother,
    to the Apostle John before Jesus died.
6. Jesus lived with Mary 30 years,
    the private life. Then Mary was

    at Elizabeth’s where she went
    to visit and help, cried out the
    Magnificat.

    Savior.”

    image of Jesus. We consecrate
    our hearts to Jesus and Mary,
    the New Adam, the New Eve.
 

The Birth of Jesus

1. From Blue Book 14

Excerpt from January 13, 1997

Jesus: I came in this woman, God Almighty, perfect holiness, comes in this holy womb and I am born, the light of the world. My light shines on that night, the day of My birth, and I lived and I was carried and I was so close to this woman of light, the one chosen by the Father. I stuck close to her. So important were those years I walked the earth for I showed you. I walked hand in hand with you, My creatures, always by the side of Our Mother, your Mother and Mine.

2. Sing: Away in a Manger
3. Mother - child, such intimacy
    between Jesus and Mary!!
    The Two Hearts of Jesus and
    Mary beat within one body -
    there was closeness between
    Mother and child. One body -
    2 Hearts
4. Think of the beauty of that
    night, that changed the world.
5. Mary held the baby Jesus in
    her arms.

    Sacred Heart of love.
9. Sing: Angels we Have Heard on High
10. Jesus is Chief Shepherd of
    the Flock.
 

The Presentation in the Temple

1. Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet

2. Luke 2: 21-24

When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception. And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord—observing what is written in the Law of the Lord: Every first–born male must be consecrated to the Lord—and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.

3. From A Few Thoughts 3 - God is With Us
 November 8, 2024 - Mary is Mother of Jesus

Mary is a Virgin.
Jesus is our Sacred Heart!
So I think of the gift of the Annunciation,
and the Holy Spirit, and Mary conceived
the child Jesus through the power of the
Holy Spirit.
On December 8th we celebrate the
Immaculate Conception.
On September 8th we celebrate the birth
of Mary.
We have 2 conceptions to celebrate -
Mary’s conception on December 8th and
Jesus’ conception on March 25th.
Mary was conceived Immaculately to
Joacim and Ann.
We see the Holy Spirit in these conceptions.
The miracle is in this.
Mary is the highest daughter of the human
race, Immaculately conceived.
We see Mary was chosen by God to be the
Mother of Jesus.
Jesus is the Son of God.
So it makes sense to me: if Jesus is to begin
His public life at the Baptism of Jesus, that
the Father would introduce Him: “This is
my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
And at the Transfiguration, before His
Passion, after Jesus taught us and worked
miracles the Father was there in such a
magnificent event on Mt. Tabor saying
“This is My beloved Son in whom I am
well pleased, listen to Him.”
The Father showed us a sign in the star in
Bethlehem, that had the 3 Kings come
and give Jesus gifts and homage, then they
went away another route from Herod.
Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of
Lords, whether a baby in a stable in
Bethlehem or a King mounting the throne
of the cross with a crown of thorns.
The Mystery of Christ is one mystery.

4. A Few Thoughts 3 - God is With Us
God Has the Plan - November 9, 2024

We must go to God for His Plan.
The Plan of the Father.
The design He has made.

We are to look to God for our answers.

Only in this do we find God who created us.
We are His creatures.
God must be first.
I have done the rosary on the 5ths for 30 years.

Honor Mary.
On the 5th, we honor Mary
because of the 5 blasphemies
against Mary, and we give devotion
to Jesus for the 5 wounds of Christ.
Blasphemies against Mary’s Virginity
is significant to note.

Jesus was born and Mary was a Virgin.
Mary is Spouse of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is truly the Son of God.
Sin offends God.
Jesus came with a kind and generous
and loving Heart
and sacrificed Himself in love for us.

John 3:16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.

And the Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally made present.
We unite all we do as an offering
to the Father, united to Jesus,
in the Holy Spirit through the
powerful intercession of Mary,
with all the angels
and saints and the souls in purgatory.
And the Father is pleased
(despite man’s sinfulness).

The priest is “Persona - Christi”

Ref. Hebrews 5:1-6

We need supernatural power.
The answers are in going to God.

God has the Plan, God the design -
the answers are in God.

There is more on this spiritual
birthing, why we need a spiritual
Mother to bring forth fruit for the
Kingdom of God.

It is God’s design.

Mother, Father

Male, Female

Adam, Eve

The Two Hearts Mary and Jesus
Jesus was conceived in Mary’s womb,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In order for the Church, the world,
the individual
 Christian to be more in the image
of Jesus we need a mother.
We need spiritual birthing.
Mary is Mother of the Church and
the Holy Spirit brings forth the image
of Christ in us!

Mary is Mother of the priest -
spiritual Mother,
tenderness, etc.

Mary is the New Eve,
Immaculately conceived.
(the old Eve sinned).

Mary is our spiritual Mother.
Mary is Queen of Peace.

Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Jesus spent 30 years of His private
life with Mary
(not building skyscrapers, in the world,
He was with Mary).

Mary was assumed into heaven -
body and soul!

We need this devotion to the Two
Hearts - that is love!
In the Litany to Mary we honor Mary.
There are 5 blasphemies against Mary.
We honor Mary’s Motherhood.
We honor Mary in her Virginity.
We honor Mary in her titles in the Litany.
Mary is the Singular Vessel:
Mary is Daughter of the Father,
Mary is Mother of the Son,
Mary is Spouse of the Holy Spirit.

Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth.

To say the Litany to Mary is devotion
and love to Mary, our spiritual Mother.

We have tender love and devotion for
the Sacred Heart.
We honor the Sacred Heart in love, in
the prayers,
the Litanies, the Promises of the Sacred Heart.
We give devotion to the Sacred Heart.
We consecrate ourselves to Jesus and Mary.
We consecrate our homes, the Church to
the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

We surrender our lives to God.

God has the design.
The Two Hearts -
Two pure and perfect Hearts of love,
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Through Him, With Him, In Him

The Ultimate Mystery – the Trinity.

5. A Few Thoughts 3 - God is With Us
The Answers are in God - November 19, 2024

We can think of what Mary said at the Visitation
about her role -… “the Mighty one has
done great things to me.”
Mary recognized through the Holy Spirit her
magnificent calling!!

... the Mighty one has done great things to the
priest.
Without the priest we would not have the Eucharist.
We can pray to the Holy Spirit to infuse in our
intellect: wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
We can pray to the Holy Spirit for the gift of
counsel.
The answers are in going to God.
God has the Plan, God the design - the answers
are in God.

We can pray to the Holy Spirit to come and
possess our soul.

Jesus was born, Son of Mary, through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
The individual Christian, the Church and the
world are in the state of becoming more and
more like Jesus.

Jesus spent His private life with Mary.
Jesus was formed in Mary’s womb through
the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus gave us His Mother as He was dying
on the cross.
We pray to the Holy Spirit to mold us more
in the image and likeness of Jesus as we go
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our
spiritual Mother.

Sort of “spiritual birthing”.
There is more on this spiritual birthing, why
we need a spiritual Mother to help bring forth
fruit for the Kingdom of God.
Jesus was born the Son of Mary through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
In order for the Church, the world, the
individual Christian to be more in the image
of Jesus, we need a Mother.

We need spiritual birthing, the Holy Spirit
brings us forth more and more in the image
of Jesus.

Mary is Mother of the priest - spiritual
Mother, Mary is most tender.

Mary is the New Eve, Immaculately
conceived.

Mary said, “yes”.

Mary is our spiritual Mother.

Mary is Queen of Peace.

Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth.

The Finding in the Temple

1. Jesus is the Son of God - even at 12.     Jesus was doing, what His Father wanted     Him to do at 12 in the Temple. 2. Mary and Joseph saw Jesus as a 12 year old child. 3. Jesus is the Son of God in the finding in the temple. 4. Jesus was about His Father’s business.     Jesus was obeying His Father. 5. Jesus came to spread the message of God’s love     at 12 or 30 years old, He obeyed His Father’s wil

6. Jesus came to do the Father’s message.
    Jesus was in His Father’s house!!
7. Mary and Joseph didn’t understand - they saw
    Him as a 12 year old boy!
 
    He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you
    not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ Luke 2:49
8. These are doctors of the Church!!
    It was ordinary for Jesus, He was the Son of God
    at 12 or 30 years old!!!
9. There was no conflict here, only misunderstanding,
    how Mary and Joseph were seeing Jesus, they saw
    Him, a 12 year old boy they were parenting.
10. Jesus had a Sacred Heart His whole life.
    From March 15, 2025 - Finding in the Temple
