From Blue Book 10 March 26, 1996 The First of 3 Great Visions Very carefully discerned by Fr. Carter R. I came to All Saints Church before a beautiful
Monstrance of gold that contained Our beloved Savior. He was adorned in
light, the altar beneath shone with the brightest light and the cross
behind was entirely silhouetted with the same celestial light. I was
overwhelmed with the presence of God and cried deeply from the awe of it
all. To be so aware of the Almighty God truly
present in His splendor and glory—to know the presence of God, to see
the glistening of the gold and the light and reflection of the cross
behind Him—my beauteous love—words do not exist to describe the rapture
of a heavenly embrace! I cry because of the immense awe within my being
to know Him. God truly present in His majesty and glory and oh, God, I
behold the presence of a heavenly court. You opened wide the heavens and
lifted up the veil and I knew You in Your splendor and glory. I behold
God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He is
the Almighty God. He shows us the celestial lights with which He will
light this earth. Many must surrender their hearts to His Heart and
Mary's heart. It is in surrendering, the Spirit will move in the hearts
of men and the light of God will shine on the darkened earth. Not with a
light that you comprehend, but a light that is divinely granted—a light
beyond all lights, a vision beyond all visions. It takes the surrender
of minds and hearts to God. The Spirit cannot move in us when we are in
control. Surrender and give Him our heart and He will make us fishers of
men. We are His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ
Movement. He is sending us out into the world to light the hearts with
His burning love. We are chosen by Him and He is giving us abundant
graces to grow in our union with Him. He will light this world with His
burning love. Our hearts must be open. We must surrender and let go and
reach beyond the senses, reach with our hearts. Pray for faith, pray for
the vision of God. Note: I cried all through this writing, having
the presence of God and being in great ecstasy to behold Him. May God
touch your heart and may His Spirit move within you. May you be filled
with the grace of God to surrender and let Him accomplish a great work
within you. And I was filled on high with His miraculous
light and He reached down and spoke within me. I was filled as never
before and knew the presence of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Note: As I finished, the bells at All
Saints Church rang at 9:00 A.M. As I began to experience the immense
splendor, the bells of 8:00 rang. Words do not express anything that I
saw or experienced or know from this ecstasy. This was the greatest and
the first of three visions, which defined clearly to me our role in the
Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus defines clearly the role of Fr.
Carter in this great mission given to him by the Father. For Fr. Carter from Jesus: Jesus: To him who has eyes to see, they will see - not
with earthly vision, but with the eyes of faith, and to him who has ears
to hear, he will hear with the fluttering of the Spirit moving within
him. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the
Almighty God. I say to the rocks to fall and they fall and to the grass,
grow, and it grows, and to the sun, shine, and it shines. I give to you
My love in these letters. Filled with My love, you will conquer this
earth, not with weapons and powder or force, but with fires of My love.
The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will
be covered with My celestial light. The earth will rock and I will
appear in the heavens adorned in power and glory and the contrite hearts
will be saved. I came to separate the sheep from the goats, the light
from the darkness. I come and no one pays Me heed. To you, My beloved son, Father Carter, I have
sent you on a mission to spread this fire that will cover this earth.
The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts
gentle as a little lamb. There will be one flock and one Shepherd and My
staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will lead the
light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense
brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be
the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in the hearts of all
consecrated to My Heart, and you will know how fire truly spreads, for
the love of God is a fire. It is vibrant. It is encompassing. It is
smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside.
No fire on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn
from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from
My Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I have written your name, Fr. Carter, in My
Heart, never ever to be blotted out and this earth will be renewed with
the fire of God's love through you. You are My beloved priest-son,
forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Most holy and most
sacred are your hands that consecrate the Host and write My precious
newsletter for My beloved priest-sons. You are never unguarded. You are
held within the deepest chamber of My Heart, and you will spread My love
to the priest-sons of this earth. I am Jesus. You will spread My love to all
souls on this earth. I love you with the tenderest burning love. I am
Jesus, your beloved Savior. end of excerpt
From Blue Book 11 R. Saturday (April 6, 1996, Holy Saturday) I
saw the whole wall adorned in the brightest light, St. Joseph was
surrounded in this thick light, like comes from a fire, like a
celestial mirror. I don't know how to describe it, it is as a mirror
with light in it, but no light like our human eyes have seen. I
looked at St. Joseph and he was pushing the Child Jesus out at us,
the Baby coming out glistening in light. The statue of the
resurrected Lord was alive. All the flowers were topped with this
light. This is how it was and is now at All Saints Church. It is as
if heaven has poured its light on the earth and it tops the flowers.
All distinct lines are gone. In their place is light. So all I look
at has a splendor.
April 9, 1996 Lights Dropping on the Flowers R. I went to All Saints Church - saw
with eyes unveiled- such an aura Today the vision started as the Eucharist was exposed. I knew it was
coming. I had this immense presence. Then the lines began to disappear and became smudged
with light. It is the most glorious occurrence to be in the vision. I can talk and
tell someone what I am seeing, but I don't want to, I just want to rest in the celestial
occurrence and realize the presence of God. He lifts the veil and I see with eyes unveiled. This is what Mary said
from the Lady of Grace statue at the Holy Spirit Center before all this started. She said
there would be miracles around the Eucharist. I didn't think she meant I would experience
these. When I saw her 3 times, she had this same light around her. The last
time, I think it lasted an hour (March 10). She was beyond description. March 17 may be
when she told me about the Eucharist. I must check my notes.
Then I saw again the celestial lights
of heaven. It was as though light was spilled from heaven and landed on the
flowers and the corners of everything. The Eucharist took on an immense
warmth and I knew God truly present in this room. I saw with eyes unveiled in my soul and
in the room. The room had a celestial aura, it no longer looked defined and
clear. It was bathed in a gentle, celestial film and all I saw I wanted to
tell to those around me. But I was so caught in His embrace that my mouth
did not want to move. Grace is being spilled on the earth. I
have seen this celestial light come upon the altar of sacrifice, the
monstrance and the cross. The vision on March 26 (1996) I will never forget
as long as I live. The light is so thick and so intense as if the heavens
open in these cracks of light and there is a depth far beyond that which any
mind can envision. The sky opened up and it rained down
its grace. It opens when hearts are one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. end of excerpts
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.
Excerpt from
Response in Christ
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. e) Relationship with Members of the Church
There
is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different
states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world,
composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its
development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have
the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The
Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those
who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim
Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church’s existence,
there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these
members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life
establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we
discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and
the heavenly Church.
The
members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life
in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is
incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them,
and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or
lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to
the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further
purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with
merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The
pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving
the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people
by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to
our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book
of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.
The
members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken
full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith
now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new
strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a
wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in
God’s own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God
reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however,
until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to
the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of
the Trinity experienced here below.
This
life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in
Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this
grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of
Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father
through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision
of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14
And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to
God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a
completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His
humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with
other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of
the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.
The
heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15
The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are,
each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem.
Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in
Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God,
will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16
The
members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until
we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our
behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity.
We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God
to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as
well as from those with whom we dwell here below.
Not
only can we be aided by the saints’ intercession, but the example of the
canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely
proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth
when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees
is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their
diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian
holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous
possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic
assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the
opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert
in the life of the Church.17 NOTES: 14Karl Rahner,

of celestial light. I went to Communion, had the presence of God, wanted
to cry so hard from the awe of it all. I was not feeling good and He
wrapped me as only He can do in His heavenly embrace. My soul sang out
and the vision began. My eyes now are still seeing with this effect. He,
as it were, lifts up the hard, defined lines and I see with a celestial
aura. This is what I see when I see a vision.
The rocks in the grotto Mary has appeared in glisten and they are
sparkling. LINES are not defined, instead they are adorned in light.
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

Colossians 1: 15-29
He is the image of the unseen God,
the first–born of all creation,
for in him were created all things
in heaven and on earth:
everything visible
and everything invisible,
thrones, ruling forces,
sovereignties, powers—
all things were created through him
and for him.
He exists before all things
and in him all things hold together,
and he is the Head of the Body,
that is, the Church.
He is the Beginning,
the first–born from the dead,
so that he should be supreme in every way;
because God wanted all fullness
to be found in him
and through him
to reconcile all things to him,
everything in heaven
and everything on earth,
by making peace through his death
on the cross.You were once estranged and of hostile intent through your evil behaviour; now he has reconciled you, by his death and in that mortal body, to bring you before himself holy, faultless and irreproachable—as long as you persevere and stand firm on the solid base of the faith, never letting yourselves drift away from the hope promised by the gospel, which you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become the servant.
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, of which I was made a servant with the responsibility towards you that God gave to me, that of completing God's message, the message which was a mystery hidden for generations and centuries and has now been revealed to his holy people. It was God's purpose to reveal to them how rich is the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; it is Christ among you, your hope of glory: this is the Christ we are proclaiming, admonishing and instructing everyone in all wisdom, to make everyone perfect in Christ. And it is for this reason that I labour, striving with his energy which works in me mightily.
Hebrews 1: 1-4
At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; but in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages. He is the reflection of God's glory and bears the impress of God's own being, sustaining all things by his powerful command; and now that he has purged sins away, he has taken his seat at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. So he is now as far above the angels as the title which he has inherited is higher than their own name.
Hebrews 10: 10-16
And this will was for us to be made holy by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ made once and for all.
Every priest stands at his duties every day, offering over and over again the same sacrifices which are quite incapable of taking away sins. He, on the other hand, has offered one single sacrifice for sins, and then taken his seat for ever, at the right hand of God, where he is now waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. By virtue of that one single offering, he has achieved the eternal perfection of all who are sanctified. The Holy Spirit attests this to us, for after saying:
No, this is the covenant I will make with them, when those days have come.
the Lord says:
In their minds I will plant my Laws writing them on their hearts,
R. Words do not exist to explain love, my brothers,
for the heart and the love of God
is inexpressible in words –
Does a woman forget her baby of her womb?
Can a heart really be like Christ &
be so self-centered as this?
The shadows of darkness crouch
around a man's tainted
thinking if one is foolish
enough to disobey God's law –
For what does one abandon God's will
and for what do they hold onto,
many times, with clenched fist
that is the very thing that
opposes what God wants –
What of the man knowing the truth and
trying to justify what he does
that is wrong with a case to prove
the wrong thing right –
Fools, Jesus says, do you think you
are fooling God the maker of
all things, you do not fool
Me – I am the way, the truth
and the life –
A man when warned by a spiritual
director can continue in his
deception and disobedience to God's will,
but he lays a rugged walk of
pointy rocks and his feet are trodding
in the pain of a path set by
his own hands –
My way I make clear to the man who
is docile and working in unity and
love in the building of God's Kingdom –
For whence does a man of lies, stop
lying, he lies today and tomorrow
satan presses again on him to
go astray – the habits are vices
and the argumentation to justify
his disobedient behavior comes
in lies to prove he was not
disobedient – one lie, easily leads
to more and more lies and
Satan takes two steps ahead and
only one back –
he rapidly helps the person
choose the pointy, rocky path
sewn through blinded eyes and
disobedience to their own demise
And all around them suffer for their
disobedience, while they
pride themselves on a job they
consider well done and
they have opposed God with disobedience,
deception and lies and hurt so many –
the more it goes on they are
playing the game of
"zigging when they should
have zag"
Opposing and opposing God's will becomes
a very bad habit they
perform in vindictiveness and blindness –
Who knows the way of the human heart –
God knows the way and man
is to listen to God –
not proceed like Eve in
the garden who opposed
God and suffered an awful
fate and so too all of the descendants
of Adam and Eve were
tainted with original sin
Woe to him who has ears to hear and
hears nothing because they are
obstinate –
When the child cried wolf and there was no wolf
and men went to his aid, the child
laughed because he thought
it was funny to watch them jump
for him –
then the day came when the wolf
really came and the child was not
listened to because of his
tricks and he was eaten up by the wolf –
So shall you be judged when you
sin in willfulness before God –
when you cry out
Lord, Lord, I will spit you
from My mouth because you
hurt the Plan for the precious
souls I died for and I wanted to
reach and you set a bomb
in their face instead of serving
Me and loving these men –
Woe to you, you hypocrites –
Your hearts were made likened to Mine –
Live to love:
to give love to God and to your
brother –
It is the will of God the Father –
you are truthful – you
are servants and handmaids of
the Lord
You are on a journey –
Do you attest to know the mind
of God and the wrath of God for those
setting a pit of deception for
their brothers –
Let your 'yes' mean 'yes' and your 'no'
mean 'no' anything else is
from the evil one
Where you could have helped the
souls – You can choose
to tear down those who
I sent you to help
Matthew 21: 33-43, 45-46
Parable of the wicked tenants
‘Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard; he fenced it round, dug a winepress in it and built a tower; then he leased it to tenants and went abroad. When vintage time drew near he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his produce. But the tenants seized his servants, thrashed one, killed another and stoned a third. Next he sent some more servants, this time a larger number, and they dealt with them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to them thinking, "They will respect my son." But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him and take over his inheritance." So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’ They answered, ‘He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will deliver the produce to him at the proper time.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Have you never read in the scriptures:
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
this is the Lord’s doing
and we marvel at it?‘I tell you, then, that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.’
When they heard his parables, the chief priests and the scribes realised he was speaking about them, but though they would have liked to arrest him they were afraid of the crowds, who looked on him as a prophet.
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.

About Blue Book 11 - Month of the Sacred Heart
R. The Christian life essentially consists in God's
loving self-communication to us with
our concomitant response to Him in love.
God is the source of life.
God gives to man a sharing in His life
in baptism.
And if man remains in the state of
grace and is baptized the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit live in his
graced baptized soul.
Blue Book 11 is about how God wants
man to dwell most abundantly in
Him.
At the beginning of Blue Book 11 I had
visions of Our Lady of Grace.
Then I had the 3 great visions –
The first vision was at the end of Blue Book 10
March 26, 1996.
R. I also had intellectual visions –
one on Holy Wednesday at Mass –
These visions were all
accompanied by the bell tolling.
On this vision I knew how all of our
joys and sufferings were to be united
to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
(the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally
made present) The Mass is
celebrated around the world –
Minute by minute, second by second
whatever we do, we are to offer it
to the Father united to the Mass for
grace to be outpoured for the
salvation of souls.
In this month of the Sacred Heart we need to
realize these intentions of
His Heart –
R. Man rejected this self-communication
of God, in original sin.
Yet God's desire to give Himself
to man was not withdrawn.
He determined to save man from
his sinfulness and thereafter
the Divine communication centered
around the promised Redeemer.
Salvation history preceding the advent
of this Redeemer became a preparation
for the Redeemer's coming.
From the time of His coming, salvation
history was and is the establishment
and continuation of His redemptive
work.
end of excerpt
June 5, 2013
R. Living life as God wants us to be –
A father, sister, brother, priest –
living united to Christ in every
aspect of our vocation –
Living the Pascal Mystery of death/resurrection –
We die to our own will – we rise in
our life of grace –
We offer ourselves united to Christ to the
Father in the Holy Spirit –
The Father gives us Christ back in Communion.
The Father accepts the sacrifice as most
pleasing and
He gives us Jesus in Communion in
lavishing love –
We are to unite our whole lives to the
Mass –
We are always offering up our lives
to the Father, united to the Masses
going on around the world –
We must die to the ways not like
Christ – control ourselves –
die to actions not in the Father's
will
If they are not controlled the
life of grace cannot dominate –
the life of grace is living
the life of resurrection –
the two go hand-in-hand;
our Christ-life is the way
we rise to new life
This asceticism means growing in
selflessness – going away from
self centeredness.
As we grow in the Christian life – the
life of resurrection our focus is
more Christ and others;
loving Christ and men.
The more a man goes out of himself –
the more he becomes himself –
the ideal self as God wants
him to be –
dying to self and rising in Him!
The person really growing in that
Christ-life is living the
Christian virtues of
FAITH, HOPE and LOVE
There is a deep meaningful relationship
with God and with men and
the rest of creation.
Our life in Him is in knowing and loving
God more and more – This takes prayer,
time in relationship with God
particularly the Eucharist –
being united to the Mass all day.
We can never sell ourselves short in
being open to God's magnificent
outpouring of His grace in the
Eucharist at Mass and in adoration –
God abundantly outpours His
grace to us – WOW –
His life abundantly fills us –
Song: I Love You Jesus
Our life of grace is centered in Trinitarian
life of knowing and loving God –
of knowing the Mystery of God –
It is from this love relationship
with God – He operates in
us in the world.
We are to be involved in the becoming
of the individual Christian,
the Church and the world.
We are to be Christ to those
He sends into our lives.

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 |
