Dear Father,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.
In the world today it is good for us to remember, what our founder, Fr. Carter said, the individual Christian, the Church and the world is in the state of becoming.
Priestly Writing and Prayers
In 17 years of this Movement we have sent loose and in books, over 15,000,000 Priestly Newsletters to priests and hierarchy. We have prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and the world all over the world (found in the backs of this book and most of our books), on a page brochure we enclosed. This is a network of prayer in 8 languages around the world. We believe these prayer chapters, many 17 years old, can be a network of prayer praying for the priests, the Church and the world, giving great devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, now, and in the future when we are gone.
We pray 24 hours a day before the exposed Eucharist in China, Indiana for you and all your work in helping the Church to be what God wants it to be in all its members. (picture enclosed) We love the Church, the pillar of truth, and we give our lives living, in recognition of this calling, to pray for the Church and the world and for all our priests and to circulate these writings on the spiritual life.
The Word
It is exciting to me, Rita Ring, co-founder of Shepherds of Christ, to read Fr. Joe’s homilies and my love of the Word grows ever more and more. We want the Word to live in us. It is a two-edged sword. The Word in our hearts aiding us in making our contribution in helping to build the Kingdom using the unique God-given talents God gave us.
The Father’s Family
God is our Creator, we were created uniquely with a purpose to make our unique contribution to the building of the Father’s family. Living in love as brothers and sisters and realizing we are to contribute in helping to make the Church and the world more as God intends.
Our Christ Life and Our Mission
In the sacrament of baptism, we receive a sharing in His life. We are to grow in this Christ-life making the contribution God wants as we live more deeply in Him.
We are so thankful for all you do.
We are so thankful for all our priests.Fr. Carter, S. J. Doctorate, founder of the Shepherds of Christ, believed he was called by God in this mission to send the Priestly Writings. Fr. Carter said Jesus told him to pray these particular prayers and begin these prayer chapters around the world, praying for the priests, the Church and the world. We have begun these prayer chapters for over 17 years now since 1994.
The Mass
We as members of the mystical body of Christ can help in being united to the Mass with pure hearts – all day – offering up our every day works, serving God according to His will in love. It is in the interior offering in our hearts that we want to be pure, holy, loving and following in Jesus’ footsteps – in all we do – united to the Masses going on around the world – praying for grace to be outpoured for our priests, the Church and the world.
God is love and we are to pray in love for our brothers and sisters of the world, relying on God’s Might.
The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present – a fountain of grace being poured out on us hungry, hungry souls. We adore God, we thank God, we petition God for grace for the Church and the world and we want to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of the world.
Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
We give ourselves in Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and we pray to God to help us grow in our graced life until we are with Him wrapped in His embrace for all eternity.
Please help us spread these prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and the world and giving great devotion to the Pure and Holy Hearts of Love of Jesus and Mary.
The Father’s Plan – Love
I heard a song once, it said “What the world needs now is love.” The Plan of the Father is that we love God with our whole heart, our whole soul and our whole being and that we love our neighbor as ourselves.
God is love. God first loved us. It is our response to God’s love.
Man is made in the image and likeness of God, so we are to love!
Happiness is found in God.
Spread the Good News, Jesus has died, He has risen and this is our call in this life – to love – to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.Homilies from Fr. Joe, My Brother

2 Kings 4: 42-44
A man came from Baal-Shalishah, bringing the man of God bread from the first-fruits, twenty barley loaves and fresh grain still in the husk. 'Give it to the company to eat,' Elisha said. But his servant replied, 'How can I serve this to a hundred men?' 'Give it to the company to eat,' he insisted, 'for Yahweh says this, "They will eat and have some left over." ' He served them; they ate and had some left over, as Yahweh had said.
Ephesians 4: 1-6
I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you therefore to lead a life worthy of the vocation to which you were called. With all humility and gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love. Take every care to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together. There is one Body, one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, over all, through all and within all.
John 6: 1-15
After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee — or of Tiberias — and a large crowd followed him, impressed by the signs he had done in curing the sick. Jesus climbed the hillside and sat down there with his disciples. The time of the Jewish Passover was near.
Looking up, Jesus saw the crowds approaching and said to Philip, 'Where can we buy some bread for these people to eat?' He said this only to put Philip to the test; he himself knew exactly what he was going to do. Philip answered, 'Two hundred denarii would not buy enough to give them a little piece each.' One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, 'Here is a small boy with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that among so many?' Jesus said to them, 'Make the people sit down.' There was plenty of grass there, and as many as five thousand men sat down. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were sitting there; he then did the same with the fish, distributing as much as they wanted. When they had eaten enough he said to the disciples, ‘Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing is wasted.’ So they picked them up and filled twelve large baskets with scraps left over from the meal of five barley loaves. Seeing the sign that he had done, the people said, ‘This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.’ Jesus, as he realised they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, fled back to the hills alone.
17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 26, 2009
– (2 Kings 4:42-44; Eph 4:1-6; John 6:1-15) We have been reading from St. Mark’s gospel this year. In our gospel last Sunday, Mark told us about Jesus and the apostles needing to get away after a period of intense ministry. They got in a boat to go to a deserted area where they could rest awhile. However, the people figured out where they were going and got there ahead of them. Jesus, moved with compassion, realized their need for leadership and responded to the crowd by teaching them.HOMILY
Then the disciples notice the day is getting late and the people need to eat, so they ask Jesus to send the people away so they can buy some food at nearby farms and villages. Jesus told the disciples to go ahead and feed the people. The apostles protest that would be impossible. Jesus asks how much food they have. Without mentioning a young boy, the apostles report they have five loaves and two fish. With these Jesus feeds 5000. Matthew gives us the detail that it was 5000 men, plus all the women and children. Incidentally, this is the only miracle of Jesus (other than the resurrection) that is recorded in all four gospels (and Matthew and Mark tell us about Jesus feeding a great crowd miraculously a second time). It must have been an awesome event to have been spoken of six times in the gospels. The first three gospels only hint at the Eucharistic implications of this miracle, but John elaborates on it at length. The lectionary switches over to St. John’s gospel (the 6th chapter) at this point. I love St. John best among all the gospels and this is one of my favorite chapters in St. John. We’ll be reading from this chapter in John until the end of August when we will go back again to St. Mark.
John has a few interesting details that differ from the other gospels. John tells us Jesus and the apostles had already arrived at the place where Jesus fed the people and the people followed him there. It’s easy to imagine that some people did arrive before Jesus did and many others came afterwards.
Another detail is that in John Jesus had already anticipated feeding the people when he saw them coming to him. He didn’t need to be advised by the apostles that the people might be hungry. He knew in his heart what he was going to do. In John’s gospel Jesus is always in control of the situation.
The detail about the boy who was willing to share his small meal (five loaves and two fish) is a beautiful image – as well as a meaningful one. John alone tells us it was barley loaves. This was the bread that the poor ate. This detail shows us the importance of sharing. In today’s world God continues to feed six billion people with enough food, but we’re not doing very good in sharing what we have. For all kinds of reasons, many people suffer starvation while many others suffer from diseases triggered by having too much to eat. I think the image of the boy who shared his small meal is also an image that whatever we are willing to give to God will come back to us many times over. It took trust on the part of the boy to share the little he had. It takes trust to give over to God the little we feel we have to offer in terms of time, talent or treasure, but it works. God can do a lot with the little we are willing to give.
John tells us Jesus gave thanks over the loaves and fish. I might point out that the Greek verb to give thanks is “eucharisteo.” Right from the beginning of chapter six, John links the feeding of the multitude with the eucharist. The eucharistic theme is also hinted at in the command of Jesus, given in all the gospels, to gather the fragments together. Notice in the gathering of fragments it only mentions the loaves. The fish are no longer an important item.
There are twelve baskets left over, not a coincidence that there are twelve apostles. Symbolically they would be the ones to take the bread of life to the world.
One important word here is the word “sign.” John does not call it a miracle, but a “sign” which means what Jesus did points to something else. Picture a world without signs. It would be impossible to picture. Signs are what we use to communicate: from body language, to street signs, to words themselves. God speaks to us through signs too. Many of us perhaps remember the definition of a sacrament: “an outward sign” In the next few weeks, we will learn in depth what Jesus was telling the crowd and was telling us in this sign. Amen
18th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Exodus 16: 2-4, 12-15
And the whole community of Israelites began complaining about Moses and Aaron in the desert and said to them, 'Why did we not die at Yahweh's hand in Egypt, where we used to sit round the flesh pots and could eat to our heart's content! As it is, you have led us into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death!'
Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Look, I shall rain down bread for you from the heavens. Each day the people must go out and collect their ration for the day; I propose to test them in this way to see whether they will follow my law or not.
'I have heard the Israelites' complaints. Speak to them as follows, "At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will have bread to your heart's content, and then you will know that I am Yahweh your God."'
That evening, quails flew in and covered the camp, and next morning there was a layer of dew all round the camp. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the desert was something fine and granular, as fine as hoarfrost on the ground. As soon as the Israelites saw this, they said to one another, 'What is that?' not knowing what it was. 'That', Moses told them, 'is the food which Yahweh has given you to eat.
Ephesians 4: 17, 20-24
So this I say to you and attest to you in the Lord, do not go on living the empty–headed life that the gentiles live.
Now that is hardly the way you have learnt Christ, unless you failed to hear him properly when you were taught what the truth is in Jesus. You were to put aside your old self, which belongs to your old way of life and is corrupted by following illusory desires. Your mind was to be renewed in spirit so that you could put on the New Man that has been created on God’s principles, in the uprightness and holiness of the truth.
John 6; 24-35
When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into those boats and crossed to Capernaum to look for Jesus. When they found him on the other side, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when did you come here?' Jesus answered:
In all truth I tell you,
you are looking for me
not because you have seen the signs
but because you had all the bread
you wanted to eat.
Do not work for food that goes bad,
but work for food
that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of man will give you,
for on him the Father, God himself,
has set his seal.Then they said to him, 'What must we do if we are to carry out God's work?' Jesus gave them this answer, 'This is carrying out God's work: you must believe in the one he has sent.' So they said, 'What sign will you yourself do, the sight of which will make us believe in you? What work will you do? Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as scripture says: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' Jesus answered them:
In all truth I tell you,
it was not Moses
who gave you the bread from heaven,
it is my Father
who gives you the bread from heaven,
the true bread;
for the bread of God
is the bread
which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.'Sir,' they said, 'give us that bread always.'
Jesus answered them:I am the bread of life.
No one who comes to me will ever hunger;
no one who believes in me will ever thirst.

– (Ex 16:2-4, 12-15; Eph 4:17, 20-24; John 6:24-35) The first reading tells us God did not make death. Rather, it came about through the envy of the devil. This is obviously a commentary on the story of Adam and Eve in the garden – how they tried to find their happiness and fulfillment by doing things their way rather than God's way. They didn’t trust what God told them. Often we blame Adam and Eve for all the problems in the world and say if they hadn’t sinned we would be in much better shape, but we’re no different. Too often we chose not to trust God and seek our happiness and fulfillment by doing things our way rather than doing what God tells us we must do. When the reading tells us that those who belong to the company of the devil experience death, it is referring to spiritual death.INTRODUCTION
The first reading gives us some background for the gospel. It tells how God fed his people with manna 1300 years earlier as Moses led them through the desert to the promised land. In their conversation with Jesus in the gospel, the people refer to this event from the Book of Exodus.
HOMILY
– Last Sunday we heard how Jesus fed a great crowd in a miraculous way and how the people wanted to make him a king. Today’s gospel is something of a surprise in that we hear how the crowd challenged him to give them a sign in order for them to believe in him. They believed in him enough to want him for their king, but now they seem to take a different attitude toward Jesus. It doesn’t seem to make sense. We know crowd’s can be erratic and fickle, but I think there’s more to the story than this.What I think is going on here is that Jesus wanted the people to take him on his terms while the people were willing to take Jesus on their terms but not on his. I will explain. The people were approaching Jesus on a material, worldly level. Jesus said, “you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves.” It wasn’t just a free fish dinner they were seeking; they wanted a king to free them from the power of Rome and to establish their independence. Jesus was trying to lift their thinking from a worldly, material level to a more spiritual level. He told them he fed them as a sign that he wanted to feed them with bread that comes from heaven, from God himself, bread that would nourish them for eternal life. But Jesus said they didn’t see the meaning of the sign that he had worked. There was much more to the sign than a free meal. There was much more to the sign than the possibility that he could be the long awaited king who would restore independence to their nation. We can’t be too hard on them for not recognizing the profound meaning of this sign – how could they have figured it out by themselves. They needed Jesus to explain to them the meaning behind what he had done. That’s exactly what Jesus planned to do as he continued teaching them.
An important part of his teaching was when he told them not to work for food that perishes but for food that endures for eternal life. Is Jesus saying people do not need to work for the food they need each day and for the other things they need, like clothing and shelter and security? Should we all just sit around and pray or watch TV all day and depend on the government to take care of us? That’s not what Jesus is saying. He himself worked at skilled labor for almost all of his life: (“Is not this the carpenter?” they ask in Mark 6:3 when Jesus began his work as a teacher and healer). Even the apostle Paul said to the Thessalonians: “When we were with you, we instructed you, that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.” (2 Thes. 3:10). Jesus is not being impractical when he tells us not to work for perishable food. He is being more than practical in that he is telling us this world is not all we have to worry about. He is more than practical in telling us we have to look beyond devoting our time and energy only to our immediate needs. We must also look to the future, not just in this life but also to our eternal future. Fr. Pedro Arrupe, former Superior General of Jesuits throughout the world said: “Nothing is more practical than finding God…What you are in love with, what seized your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.” (
My Life with the Saints, James Martin, S.J. pg 119)The way to that love, that eternal future, that all absorbing preoccupation with the eternal and infinite God, Jesus tells us is himself. When the people ask, “What can we do to accomplish the works of God?” it sounds as if they are looking for some simple task they can do and be done with it. As Jesus tells us, doing the works of God is to believe in the one he sent - Jesus himself. “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” The people begin to see that Jesus is asking for total commitment to himself, so it’s not surprising that they ask for another sign. Although Jesus is asking for a lot and he desires to give us a lot, he’s asking us to accept him on his terms and not to try to take him and follow him on our terms. Doing the works of God is work because we have to die to ourselves and our own selfishness and live the life he has shown us how to live. A lot of people I know would say it’s not hard to believe in Jesus, because they take him on their terms, agree with what they like about him and ignore what they don’t like.
Although we might say that believing in Jesus and following him is work, when we do give our lives over to him completely, believing in him and following him comes easier. Until we do give ourselves to him in every way, we will continue to hunger in our hearts and will not know what it is we hunger for; for only he can satisfy us. Amen.
Please pray for Doris,

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. $15 |

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 |

Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. — Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr.
