Mary:  I am you Mother, I wish my message to be played from this location that all will hear me, I am the Lady Clothed with the Sun. I lead you to the Light of the World, my Son Jesus. He will be alive in your hearts through the consecration, recitation of the rosary. I tell you to observe the First Saturday practices especially from this location and console your God. All efforts should be made to do this. Spread my peace plan to this world. I give this to you. My Son gives His message for the earth. Circulate the Falmouth card that men will know, if you do not heed the signs and warnings given, greater and greater sufferings will occur to get the attention of the people. The fires are very small compared to all that could be done to stop the children from sinning. The sign is given on the building, you have ignored me one more time. I am your Mother, please my children, listen.

                October 10th - 13th

There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven: 

A time for giving birth, 
a time for dying; 
a time for planting, 
a time for uprooting what has been planted. 
A time for killing, 
a time for healing; 
a time for knocking down, 
a time for building. 
A time for tears, 
a time for laughter; 
a time for mourning, 
a time for dancing. 
A time for throwing stones away, 
a time for gathering them; 
a time for embracing, 
a time to refrain from embracing. 
A time for searching, 
a time for losing; 
a time for keeping, 
a time for discarding. 
A time for tearing, 
a time for sewing; 
a time for keeping silent, 
a time for speaking. 
A time for loving, 
a time for hating; 
a time for war, 
a time for peace. 

    What do people gain from the efforts they make? I contemplate the task that God gives humanity to labour at. All that he does is apt for its time; but although he has given us an awareness of the passage of time, we can grasp neither the beginning nor the end of what God does.

                R. Fr. Joe said at Church —

                Our lives are regulated by time —
                    Time to get up
                    Time to go to bed

                    It seems the clock kind of runs
                        our lives —

                    The man who wrote this —
                        gathers men together

                    God has put the timeless
                        into our lives —

                    There is more to life than constant
                        repetition —

                    A man came and wanted to know
                        about the Catholic faith —

                    So he studied and
                    Became a Catholic —

                    Fr. Joe asked him
                        "Why did you become a Catholic?"

                    And he said, he wanted more than
                        just getting up and going
                        to bed —
                        he wanted the timeless
                        the Church gives us

                Who do you say
                    Christ is?

                Jesus is my friend.
                Jesus said he would die
                    and rise —
                Jesus tells us about living
                    the resurrected life —

                Where is our life taking us?

                We need to live that life of
                    resurrection in our lives —

                We ask for God's help —
                We want to share in God's
                    goodness and love each
                    other —

                We pray for all who are
                    giving us their
                    time, treasure and talents —

                Thank You Lord for giving
                    us Your life —

                Thank You Lord for this
                    time to be with You this morning —

                Sing: On Eagle's Wings

                Dear God thank You for prayer —
                Dear God thank You for the Mass —

                We want to make reparation to You
                    for our sins and the sins
                    of the world —

                Oh God — we want to praise You
                    and thank You and love
                    You —

                Oh God we worship You —
                Oh God we give ourselves to You —

Psalm 144: 1-4

Blessed be Yahweh, my rock,
who trains my hands for war
and my fingers for battle,
my faithful love, my bastion,
my citadel, my Saviour;
I shelter behind him, my shield,
he makes the peoples submit to me.

Yahweh, what is a human being for you to notice,
a child of Adam for you to think about?
Human life, a mere puff of wind,
days as fleeting as a shadow.

Luke 9: 18-22

    Now it happened that he was praying alone, and his disciples came to him and he put this question to them, 'Who do the crowds say I am?' And they answered, 'Some say John the Baptist; others Elijah; others again one of the ancient prophets come back to life.' 'But you,' he said to them, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' he said. But He gave them strict orders and charged them not to say this to anyone.

    He said, 'The Son of man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.'

                Oh God You are all Powerful
                Oh God You are all Mighty —
                Oh God we love You so much —
                Oh God we praise You —
                Oh God help us

                Oh God I give You myself —
                    entirely and completely —
                    I love You God —
                        so much —
                    I pray for the whole world —
                    Outpour Your grace
                    Oh God protect us with Your
                        precious blood —
                        All of us

                    Oh Jesus come to me
                    Oh Jesus I love You so much —
                    Oh Jesus help me —
                    Oh Jesus please

                    Oh Father hear our prayer —
                    Oh Father with all the angels and saints
                    We unite to the sacrifice of Jesus
                        in the Masses going on
                        around the world —

                    In the Holy Spirit
                    Oh God we love You

Lamb of God

Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

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.

Spiritual Communion

So from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, they went back to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a Sabbath walk; and when they reached the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James. With one heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

     

John 17: 1-11

After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:

Father, the hour has come:
glorify your Son
so that your Son may glorify you;
so that, just as you have given him
   power over all humanity,
he may give eternal life
   to all those you have entrusted to him.
And eternal life is this:
to know you,
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I have glorified you on earth
by finishing the work
that you gave me to do.
Now, Father, glorify me
with that glory I had with you
before ever the world existed.
I have revealed your name
to those whom you took from the world
   to give me.
They were yours
   and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
Now at last they have recognised
that all you have given me
   comes from you
for I have given them
the teaching you gave to me,
and they have indeed accepted it
and know for certain
   that I came from you,
and have believed
   that it was you who sent me.
It is for them that I pray.
I am not praying for the world
but for those you have given me,
because they belong to you.
All I have is yours
and all you have is mine,
and in them I am glorified.
I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father,
keep those you have given me
   true to your name,
so that they may be one like us.

                    Remember Jacob's vision — the ladder
                to heaven —

                    It gave him great comfort when
                he was confronted with struggles —

                    Our Lady's image should help
                to strengthen us and realize how
                important our mission is to souls —

                    I saw a big ladder in St. Boniface
                to change those high lights —

                    Well, it is like us climbing the ladder
                to heaven — we are to have a life of
                virtue — practicing loving — so its a
                habit to be loving —
                its a habit having faith —
                its a habit to have hope and joy
                because we practice it like an
                athlete —
                practice so we are virtuous —
                this leads to life

                The seven deadly sins leads to death —
                    they take life from us —

                Practicing jealousy becomes a vice —
                    closed down —
                    we see with jealous eyes —
                    we block others who want to do
                        God's will
                    because of pride
                    because of jealousy

                Seeking dominance for dominance sake —

                Not saying yes to the prayer to do
                what is needed to discern properly
                what God wants in a certain
                situation —

                Acting out of habit without seeking
                    God's will first —

                When one has been jealous of others —
                    the sound of a person's voice —
                    can get to old habits of jealousy —
                    Acting impurely and jealousy toward
                    others doing God's will is wrong —

                Then our decision for acting and affecting others
                    is the impurities within ourselves —
                    not God's will as it should be for our actions
                    we close down to God's will —
                    we can act hastily and do actions
                        that will lead to destruction
                        of good things that were leading
                        to the building of God's Kingdom —
                        That work which God has nurtured
                            and built up —

Matthew 13: 24-30, 36-43

He put another parable before them, ‘The kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everybody was asleep his enemy came, sowed darnel all among the wheat, and made off. When the new wheat sprouted and ripened, then the darnel appeared as well. The owner’s labourers went to him and said, "Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? If so, where does the darnel come from?" He said to them, "Some enemy has done this." And the labourers said, "Do you want us to go and weed it out?" But he said, "No, because when you weed out the darnel you might pull up the wheat with it. Let them both grow till the harvest; and at harvest time I shall say to the reapers: First collect the darnel and tie it in bundles to be burnt, then gather the wheat into my barn." ’

Then, leaving the crowds, he went to the house; and his disciples came to him and said, ‘Explain to us the parable about the darnel in the field.’ He said in reply, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of man. The field is the world; the good seed is the subjects of the kingdom; the darnel, the subjects of the Evil One; the enemy who sowed it, the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; the reapers are the angels. Well then, just as the darnel is gathered up and burnt in the fire, so it will be at the end of time. The Son of man will send his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of falling and all who do evil, and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Then the upright will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Anyone who has ears should listen!

                WEEDS have big roots and they can't hardly be pulled out

                We can tear down with pride and
                pushing ahead with bad habits — (vices)
                A person is ready with anger, this
                energy to tear down without thought,
                because of bad habits — where as a
                person with good habits — virtue — acts good.

                A child had a grave disease at an early
                    age, it was a wake up call for the
                    parents — their whole life was centered
                    in the sickness of the child —
                    eventually before two - the child died —
                    her little clothes were given away —
                    her play things, for they were devastated
                        financially and in their heart —

                Now why would they act in caring for their
                    child as one who is healthy —

                A man grew up in a house with much
                    anger — so he made angry situations
                    wherever he lived to work out
                    his patterned behavior learned to
                    survive in childhood —

                    Anger is one of the 7 deadly sins
                that when given into unjust anger and
                acting it out on others — we stop good
                work and that driving emotion of anger
                is like "hungry dogs in the basement"
                Emotions — feelings are stored inside a
                person from the past —

                the devil can manipulate these feelings and
                    emotions —
                    and with irrational feelings the person
                    can blame innocent others for anger
                    pent up from childhood —     

                In marriage and with the family —
                    needs arise and the person is called to
                        put first things first and not be
                        selfish — someone sick — an
                        infant with 104  temperature —
                    a child falling down the steps and hitting
                    their head on concrete —

                Lessons of looking outward —
                Loving the children and wanting them safe —

                Money issue between husbands and wives
                    settled in love according to
                    God's will —
                    running a family business —
                    reconciling checks etc. —
                    keeping order to take care of family —
                    do the tax return —
                    run a family business —
                    contribute at Church —

                Some may have no experience with
                    money —
                    a 15 year old may not understand
                        much —

                Adults who never had to worry about
                    anybody but themselves —

                When children come into families they
                    are to learn to solve problems
                    in love —

                Angry, punishing, abusive parents
                    teach children to be
                    critical,
                    punishing,
                    abusive,
                    selfish,
                    anger —

                Here we are adults in a world with
                    little children filled with
                    survival tactics from childhood —
                    rules learned from
                    loving parents — controlling parents —
                    abusive parents —
                    angry parents —

                Rules put in the child like the core
                    information in a computer —
                    parents, some forcing these
                    wrong rules on children —
                    with emotions from abuse —
                    sibling rivalry —

                How could any religious order
                    survive or be built if all these little
                    children of the past come
                    and demand
                    nobody will tell me what to do —
                    I will force my control on you —

                How about at Church —

                People come to volunteer and
                    they bring their psychological
                    needs to the parish to
                    fill it with the job —
                    Not do it purely for the service
                        of God and others and
                        to do God's will —

                People who are controlling want to stay
                    in a system they can control —

                If they know nothing about money
                    they can force their way
                    and hurt order —

                If they lived with alcoholism and
                    enabled the alcoholic and
                    never went through recovery —
                    they continue life long patterns
                    forcing their rules where ever they?
                    go — so they don't have to change —

                How a person thinks of men —
                How a person thinks of women —
                Sibling rivalry —
                Were you were, brothers, sisters,
                    first born —

                So here come Suzie —
                    she is going to control —
                    punish her brothers —
                    provoke because she is
                        addicted to excitement —

                If Suzie has 5 children — she will have
                    to change or he will leave (her husband)
                    and the children will be sick —

                The whole spiritual life is dying to
                    one's imperfections and
                    rising to be more perfect like
                    our heavenly Father —

                But if they can get away with it
                    people can grow in
                    vices rather than virtue —

                Practicing age old habits of
                    anger            envy
                    pride            addictive thinking —
                    jealousy        addicted to excitement
                                        addicted to confusion

               they may have been taught
                    love — hate relationships

                The more somebody loves you now
                    the more you can be hateful —
                    if you think in these love - hate relationships
                    surprising in return —

                Growing in greater vices —
                    more and more vices —
                    practicing them —

                Instead of loving and
                    working like an athlete
                    practicing virtue

                Like a loving couple raising
                    children with problems

                    A person living a virtuous life is
                preparing for their heavenly reward and
                is building God's Kingdom —

                    They practice good habits and
                then they act in love by habit —
                kind, hoping, having faith —
                humble, temperately, prudently,
                justly

                    Like the ladder at St. Boniface
                ascending in virtue toward
                one's heavenly reward
                leads to the light —

                    We watch the mom and dad of
                little ones —

                    Crying — needing a diaper
                change — needing food —
                running around to get away —
                maybe in the street —

                    Caring — constant caring —
                giving - taking — working on the
                marriage relationships —
                the friends at work
                the children friends
                the parish friends

                Managing money —
                changing a light bulb —
                doing the plumbing —

                Responsibility done in love —
                Games at school —
                Girl scouts —
                Kid's clothes —
                Kid's toys

                Managing the children's
                    things

                Going to work
                Juggling the work and family
                    responsibilities
                Taking care of aged parents —
                Having exercise
                    sports interest

                Parents having a loving relationship —
                    anniversary without the
                    children — still being
                    in love —
                    talking —
                    communicating about problems —
                    reporting needed information
                        to each other

                The moms or dads fix dinner —
                    you don't skip the
                    needs of these little
                    people

Looking outward

                Dying to self to
                    live the resurrected life —

                Jesus died for all
                Jesus' love doesn't run out —
                Our love doesn't have limits —

                The devil says
                    stay isolated
                    be jealous
                    be envious — hurt others
                    be in charge while you are
                        not supposed to be

                Not capable of teaching what is
                    somebody else job —

                Thinking you can do everything
                    and you need not others —

                When God intends us to be as
                    a body — working in
                    community —
                    families
                    church
                    work

                talking about problems because
                    problems need to be
                    addressed —

                gladly reporting upward —
                not living in isolation —

                Seeing ourselves as a thread
                    in the tapestry —
                    God the father made and

                What we do affects others —
                    His Kingdom —
                    souls —

                We are here to build God's
                    Kingdom —
                    praying for the priests, the
                        Church and the world —
                    growing in the image of Jesus —
                    doing what God wants
                        in love
