Prayer for Grace for our Country
Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
R. God has given us the Church –
the Mass – This shows us His
great love for us –
R. Jesus asked Fr. Carter to pray these prayers –
We can all be united in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
praying for the Church and the world –
Jesus paid a precious price dying for us –
The enormous suffering of the Passion –
25 Years ago I received this message. August 23, 1993 - Message from Jesus On His Passion Jesus: My dear child, I was condemned to death, death on a
cross. They gave Me a big cross and made Me carry it. They stood around and
glared at Me. It weighed on My shoulder and I pulled at it until it finally
moved. Every step was almost impossible as I dragged it, weighing so heavily
on My shoulders. My shoulder felt as if the bones inside
would crack and the cross would fall through to the ground. I couldn’t drag
it any more. I tried, I fell. I fell and its weight fell on Me. A guard hit
Me with something sharp. It really hurt because he wanted Me to move, and
fast! People were watching — on with the show! How dare I fall in the middle
of the show! He hit Me again and the blow really stung Me. I got up because
it hurt so badly. I tried to walk on. My Mother was in the crowd. She looked at
Me and her face looked red and hurt. Tears rolled down her cheeks like rain
and as her eyes met Mine, I was hurt so by her sorrow! She was always by My
side, silent and loving. She was My Mother of love! She is always there next
to you when you suffer. I fell again and he (the guard) really hit
Me. It (the cross) was so heavy that he and I together could barely move it.
It seemed as I walked, heavier with the sins of the world heaped on it. My
hands were bleeding. Blood ran from the wounds of My thorns and My head
throbbed, seeming to make the wounds in My head bleed even more. Some of the
Blood was dried, some of it running all over My Body. I had so many cuts and
bruises — and people watched and laughed! I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, and
they laughed and mimicked Me! Oh, such hardened hearts! How vile can men’s
hearts become? The devil’s grip is paralyzing and crippling. The walk was so long up a hill and over
rocks — the cross had to be lifted over the rocks. My Body was bleeding so
badly! My Heart was pounding. I knew that the salvation of all men depended
on My love. Therefore, I went through such agony. I thought of My intense love for you —
that many would go to heaven because of My suffering — and I continued to
the top of the hill. At the top they laid Me on the cross and with a big
hammer nailed My hands to it. It was the worst (suffering) yet. My hands
were nailed with big nails and the big hammer. Then, as if that weren’t
enough, with a big nail they nailed through both feet. Then they lifted the cross and banged it
into (a hole in) the ground. My shoulders ached from how I hung. My head
bobbed and My neck ached and they laughed and said, "Now save Yourself." I
hurt so much! I suffered this way for hours — which seemed like forever —
and they glared at Me and laughed! My Mother watched in such agony. For love of you, to My death I gave you My
Body. My child, I shed My Blood and gave you My life that you might be with
Me forever in heaven — not for a day, a month or a year, but forever with Me
in heaven. I am the true Bread come down from heaven.
He who eats My Flesh will have life forever. For the drink I give you is My
Blood and food you eat is My Body. Who would lay down his life for a friend?
I did, for you. I love you this much, child. Forget about those who reject
you. You have My life that I gave you and I give you life eternal. I am the One true God. I am the Light of
life. He who abides in Me will have life eternal, for the drink I give is My
Blood and the food I give is My Body. Drink and eat and have everlasting
life. My child, that is all you need to know.
Love one another and be good that you may enter into My Kingdom.
R. God is God and He loves us so much –
We must turn to Him now for strength –
Going to Mass whenever possible can bring

helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our

that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into

receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we

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

Life in the Spirit –
Life in Christ
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.
R. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit want to dwell Jesus:
My dear child, if
you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who
created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My
words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no
room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error. You must stay rooted in Me to ward off
the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is
stronger every day. When you live in Me, I am in your heart
and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to
protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and
he will have no power. I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon
you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My
most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My
tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk
with you. I share every aspect of your life with
you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest.
There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

R. God gives us Himself –
We receive Jesus in the Eucharist
most intimately –
Christ in us –
The Christian life is rooted in the Incarnation
Mystery of Christ's life in us –
INNER LIFE
The Father so loved the world He sent
His Son Jesus, our Savior,
our Redeemer –
Song; A Song from Jesus
Hebrews 1: 1-2 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.
R. He would gather them up in Himself,
give them a new luster and
brilliance and dynamism and would
lead the human race back to
the Father in the Holy Spirit –
He would (1) release us from the dominion of sin
(2) elevate us to a new level of existence
Grace permeates Nature
The Christian is meant to be an expression
of the Christ-life.
All of our experiences are made more
deeply human because of Him –
Christ has come to perfect the human
and leading it to graced fulfillment –
This is the meaning of the Incarnation
The more God-like we become, the more
human we become –
We live in Christ –
We have been incorporated into the
mystery of Christ –
This Mystery of Christ is the Christ Event –
This is all happenings of the events of
Christ's life, death and resurrection –
The Pascal Mystery
Death / Resurrection
We live the life, death and resurrection
in our lives –
Dying to ways not like Jesus, to
rise to new life in Him –
Christ - in - us –
A New existence
A Christ - life –
Graced - fulfillment
We are saved and sanctified through Christ –
We live the Christ-life –
We are called to holiness
We are called to help others be better
Christians –
We are to be living as
Christ in the world –
Through our lives we bring
CHRIST to others –
Christ lives in us –

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

now. -God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
R. God is our source of strength –
This is our privilege to bring
Christ to others
We are the Body of Christ –
Romans 6: 3-5 You
cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised
into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our
baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as
Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious
power, we too should begin living a new life.
R. We share in His life –
But this life must be nourished
Bread of life
(1) Word
(2) Eucharist
Jesus says
"I am the Bread of Life"
Jesus gives us Himself to eat –
Jesus is the Bread come down from Heaven.
John 6: 51-58 I am the living bread Then the Jews started arguing among
themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?' Jesus
replied to them: In all truth I tell you,
which has come down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread
will live for ever;
and the bread that I shall give
is my flesh, for the life of the world.'
if you do not eat
the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
will live for ever.
R. To not know Scripture is to not
know Jesus –
We are living the mystery of Christ in
our lives –
We see Jesus in others too –
Our face should show the Christ
that lives in us –
Bishop Sheen talked about the
facial features and how
you could see the devil in
a person who was possessed –
He spoke of a woman who laughed at
the relic of the Little Flower –
She had to be exorcised –
The devil wants to block the message
in the Blue Books –
The word demonic means
rip apart –
The devil wants to rip apart religious
communities, marriages, corporations,
families –
The devil is chaos and confusion –
The devil wants to destroy unity –
The Church is
ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, APOSTOLIC
The devil tries to destroy unity –
The devil wants DISCORD
– in the Church
– in the priesthood
– in religious communities

Members of "My beloved
priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds
of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates,
in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world. "I will use the newsletter
and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful

In all
this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to
her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was
not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When
God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed.
She realized that life is not a process a person masters by
carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of
conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being
open to God's personal and loving guidance.

R. What is the Standard of Christ –
Excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius,
by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. pp.60-61 136. THE FOURTH DAY
A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS The one of Christ, our supreme leader
and lord, PRAYER. The usual preparatory prayer. window at a former Jesuit
Seminary 137. FIRST PRELUDE. This is the
history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard,
and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his. 138. SECOND PRELUDE. This is a
mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain,
comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign
Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about
the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer. 139. THIRD PRELUDE. This is to
ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits
of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for
a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander,
and the grace to imitate Him. FIRST PART 140. FIRST POINT. Imagine you
see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a
great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror. 141. SECOND POINT. Consider how
he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to
another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state
of life, no individual is overlooked. 142. THIRD POINT. Consider the
address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind
them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan
himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily
attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride. The first step, then, will be
riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one
leads to all other vices. SECOND PART THE STANDARD OF CHRIST 143. In a similar way, we are to
picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord. 144. FIRST POINT. Consider
Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region
of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive. 145. SECOND POINT. Consider how
the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc.,
and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among
all men, no matter what their state or condition. 146. THIRD POINT. . . . end of excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St.

Mary walked humbly for God –
Mary loved God's will –
Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call.
Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous
responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did
not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a
great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have
the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she
did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was
not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone
else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in
God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His
grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she
herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than
hers.
Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian
response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am
the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be
done to me".
R. Christ came – Christ showed the world
he was poor and humble –
to their neighbor – Christ gave us
parables to live by – Christ healed
and showed us His selflessness
and love for God and others –
Christ sacrificed and prayed.
Christ was building men's hearts
for His work – Are the ones called
by God walking in the Light –
Walking as Christ calls us –
More and more in the image of Christ.
Is Christ first in our lives –
Do we think this way? "What does
the Father want me to do?"
Christ lived to do the Father's will –
to His death on the cross –
Come into my
heart and permeate my soul.
Help me to sit in silence with You
and let You
work in my heart.
Are we first in our lives?
Is Christ first in our lives?
Are we living to love in Catholic Works
because God wills us to be
"men for others, walking humbly
and in love"
R. Why am I not doing what Fr. Carter said –
to others by how we live
our lives and conduct ourselves.
We beg for grace to put Christ first –
to others –
to deliver His letters of love, His
prayers – Catholic Action –
Christ wants in our lives –
to rise in Him –
Him is why the Movement

THE STANDARD OF SATAN
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed
the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labor and not to ask
for any reward,
Save that of knowing
that I am doing your will.

Me. Repression of one's sinning
action is an Avenue that
opens a door to the thief

thief destroy the balance

a person to live –

leads to darkness and destruction
like a destructive machine –
You do not see through

Mary crushes the head of satan –
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I
saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and
give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this
message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I
stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried
for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How
do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject
me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored.
The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and
I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart
was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this
day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to
help my children. You are my children of light.
Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
R. We are saved by the Blood of Christ –
The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present –
Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter Issue #1, 1999
"Through the Eucharistic Sacrifice Christ the Lord desired to set before us in a very special way this remarkable union whereby we are united one with another and with our divine Head, a union that no word of praise can ever sufficiently express. For in this sacrifice the sacred ministers act not only as the representative of our Saviour, but as the representative of the whole Mystical Body and of each one of the faithful. Again, in this act of sacrifice, the faithful of Christ, united by the common bond of devotion and prayer, offer to the eternal Father through the hands of the priest, whose prayer alone has made it present on the altar, the Immaculate Lamb, the most acceptable victim of praise and propitiation for the Church's universal need. Moreover, just as the divine Redeemer, while dying on the Cross, offered Himself to the eternal Father as Head of the whole human race, so now, 'in this clean oblation' He not only offers Himself as Head of the Church to His heavenly Father but in Himself His mystical members as well. He embraces them all, yes, even the weaker and more ailing members, with the deepest love of His Heart. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS, XXXV, 232-233)
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
R. There is a Man on a cross –
Christ died for our sins
Man is huffy – he can think he
is perfect –
never wrong –
Christ is the Victim for our sins.
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.
R. The Heart of Jesus is a symbol of
His love for us
Song: God's Love
R. Why wouldn't God give these
messages when He took flesh,
came to earth and
gave Himself for our sins?
Matthew 22: 34-40
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees they got together and, to put him to the test, one of them put a further question, ‘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.’
Genesis 1: 26-27
God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.
1 John 4: 19-21
Let us love, then,
because he first loved us.
Anyone who says ‘I love God’
and hates his brother,
is a liar,
since whoever does not love the brother
whom he can see
cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Indeed this is the commandment
we have received from him,
that whoever loves God,
must also love his brother.
R. God loved us first –
The more we are united to God –
the more we share His
capability to love –
God made us in His image
and likeness
2 Peter 1: 3-7
By his divine power, he has lavished on us all the things we need for life and for true devotion, through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these, the greatest and priceless promises have been lavished on us, that through them you should share the divine nature and escape the corruption rife in the world through disordered passion. With this in view, do your utmost to support your faith with goodness, goodness with understanding, understanding with self–control, self–control with perseverance, perseverance with devotion, devotion with kindness to the brothers, and kindness to the brothers with love.
R. Everything we do is centered in Christ –
Everything we do is centered in love –
If you take a fish out of
water he dies –
We were created in the image
and likeness of God –
Galatians 2: 19-21
In fact, through the Law I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not setting aside God’s grace as of no value; it is merely that if saving justice comes through the Law, Christ died needlessly.
R. God knows us more than we
know ourselves
Jesus died for us and gives
us Himself –

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 — 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 — 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 |

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD. — Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10 |
