I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able, to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

R. Today is the day the Lord has made,
let us
rejoice and be glad in it.
Life is very precious to me, every day is
a gift God gives us.
Thank You God for this day.
My mom died when I was five years old,
I learned at a young age that
life was not
forever on this earth.
My mom loved the daily Mass then she
had 5 of us children to deal with.
She lost
2 babies and died of cancer.
My brother Fr. Joe was the oldest, I was
the youngest.
R. He was always there for me, I guess I
never thought about him dying
until
one Sunday at St. Boniface he was too
sick to show up for Mass.
Then I cried. He just got sicker and died
last July 17, 2023 almost a
year ago already.
R. We are re-printing one of Fr. Joe’s
Cycle C
books now
for the next liturgical year.
We send out his homilies to priests and
hierarchy as we have the past 16
years.
Fr. Joe spoke of the history of the Old
Testament, the Bread of Life:
the Word and
the Eucharist, eternal salvation, life and love,
he had a
wonderful relationship with the
Church and the world, friends, family.
He loved life and being a priest. From his
first ordination he took his
homily very
serious.
I miss him so much.
At his funeral Mass so much blessings.
The sun keeps shining, even when some
body dies.
I remember Fr. Carter died and I still miss
him so much.
R. So many people loved Fr. Joe.
Yesterday was the feast of St. Boniface,
Fr. Joe was there 28 years.
My mom and dad were married there.
R. Fr. Joe delivered all these homilies - 16 books
from St.
Boniface Church.
This a Tribute to my brother
Fr. Joseph Robinson
for everything he has done for us.
Rita Robinson Ring
Fr. Joe Robinson has retired.
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.

Proverbs
8:30-35
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.
'And now, my children, listen to me.
Happy are those who keep my ways.
Listen to instruction and become wise,
do not reject it.
Blessed, whoever listens to me, who day after
day keeps watch at my gates to guard my portals.
For whoever finds me finds life,
and obtains the favour of Yahweh;
Sirach 25: 1
There are three things my soul delights in, and which are delightful to God and to all people: concord between brothers, friendship between neighbours, and a wife and husband who live happily together.
Friday is the Feast of My Sacred Heart!♥♥
Saturday the Feast of Mary’s Immaculate Heart❤❤
R.
A little birdie basked in the sun and
sang a sweet tune.
Jesus says: I care for the Lilies of the
field and the birds of the
air, I love you
and care for you.
Ecclesiastes 2:14
The wise have their eyes open, the fool walks in the dark.
No doubt! But I know, too, that one fate awaits them both.

The mystical process is one in which
God more
and more takes possession
of the soul. The person becomes
increasingly docile to the workings
of the Holy Spirit.
Heart of Jesus
we place our trust in you.
Heart of Jesus we place our trust in you.
So beautiful!
Sirach 15: 14-18
He himself made human beings in the beginning,
and then left them free to make their own decisions.
If you choose, you will keep the commandments
and so be faithful to his will.
He has set fire and water before you;
put out your hand to whichever you prefer.
A human being has life and death before him;
whichever he prefers will be given him.
For vast is the wisdom of the Lord;
he is almighty and all-seeing.
Christ knocking on door
Revelation 3:20
Look, I am standing at the door, knocking. If one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in to share a meal at that person’s side.
Light one little candle
God gave us a golden sunset this day.
This day a fire like one, like the fire of His Love.
This was a pink sunset.
Dear Mary, Mother of Jesus, I love you and Jesus so much.
Jesus: I died for you.
Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
1 Corinthians 2:9
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, what God has ready for those who love Him.

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.'
Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.
Alleluia.

R. Do you feel the presence of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
The Father, has a plan for us.
God wants this relationship with us.
We are here to grow in our intimacy
with God.
In this Lent we can spend time
alone with God and think of the
presence of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit in our heart.
Jesus: Be alone with Me, close
your eyes, think of the presence of
God, All three Persons, dwelling in
your heart.
Meditate, empty your mind, think
only of the presence of God. Make
a spiritual communion, now.
Take time, be alone with Me.
Everyday during Lent, morning and
night, empty your mind, make a
spiritual communion, think of God's
presence with you, close your eyes,
be alone with Me.
This will help you to grow in God's
presence all day, the more you do
this, all thru Lent.
I went into the desert to pray for
40 days and be with My Father,
practice this every day during Lent.
Being alone with God. Knowing
My presence!!!!

Mysteries of Light
The Baptism of Jesus
1. Mark 1: 9-11It was at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’
2. The sky was thrown
open, the voice of the
Father was heard.
3. "This is My beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased."
4. Jesus taught us how to
be sons and daughters of
our Heavenly Father.
5. This began Jesus' public
life.
6. Jesus taught and worked
miracles.7. 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.8. Our true home is in
heaven.
9. These are the mysteries
of Light.
10. Jesus is the Light of the
world.
Through Him, with Him, and
In Him.
The Marriage at Cana
1. John 2: 1-10On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’
2. Jesus turned water into
wine.
3. In the Mass: Bread and
wine is changed into the
Body and Blood of Jesus,
through the hands of the
priests.
4. Jesus worked the first
miracle of His public life at
Cana, at a wedding.
5. Mary has powerful
intercession.6. 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.7. Without the priest, we
wouldn't have the Eucharist.
8. The Christian life
essentially consists in God's
loving self-communication
to us with our response to
Him in love.
9. God gives us a sharing in
His life in Baptism.
10. This life is nourished by
the Eucharist.
Building of the Kingdom of God
1. We seek to deepen our
relationship with God.
2. Jesus says: You will know
the truth and the truth will
set you free.3. 2 Corinthians 5:17
So for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation: the old order is gone and a new being is there to see.
4. Grace is His life in us.
5. There are 3 Persons in
one God.
6. We have a oneness with
God and have a relationship
with Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
7. The Church is one, holy,
Catholic and apostolic.
8. We pray for the priests,
the Church and the world.
9. Sing: Seek Ye First
10. We help build the
Kingdom of God in living
holy lives. These are the
mysteries of Light.
The Transfiguration
1. 2 Peter 1:16-19When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.2. Jesus appeared to them
transfigured.
3. The voice of the Father
was heard: "This is My
beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased, Listen to Him."
4. Jesus teaches us how to
be sons of the Heavenly
Father.
5. Oh Heavenly Father, You
love us so much. You
created us in the image and
likeness of Jesus.
6. Come to me Lord and
possess my soul.
7. Oh God thank You for
Your gifts to us.
8. Oh God thank You for the
Church and the priest.
9. Jesus: I am the way, the
truth and the life.
10. These are the mysteries
of Light.
Jesus is the Light of the
world.
The Institution of the Eucharist
1. Matthew 26: 26-29Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’
2. Jesus is truly present in
the Eucharist: Body, Blood,
Soul and Divinity.3.
Through Him, With Him and In Him!!!!
♥♥
4. At Mass
I eat His Body,
I drink His Blood!!
Jesus, I adore You and love
You so much.
Thank You, My God for this
precious gift given to us.
Jesus, I love You so, so
much!!!!!
You are God!!!5. God gives us a sharing in
His life in Baptism!6. 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
7. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb the Bridegroom of the SoulOh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
8. Sing: I Love You Jesus
9. Sing: Your Presence Pervades my Soul
10. 1 John 1: 5-7
I: TO WALK IN THE LIGHT
This is what we have heard from him and are declaring to you:
God is light,
and there is no darkness in him at all.
If we say that we share in God’s life
while we are living in darkness,
we are lying,
because we are not living the truth.
But if we live in light,
as he is in light,
we have a share in another’s life,
and the blood of Jesus, his Son,
cleanses us from all sin.
