R. God tells us to respect our
parents even when they are old
God created us
God raises us up
Jesus died
Jesus rose on the 3rd day
Jesus shows us we are to die
to our selfish ways and to
be raised up to greater life in Him
In living the pascal mystery of
death/resurrection
God raises us to greater heights
we are raised up
we are filled with His life
Satan wants man to seek dominance for dominance sake.
Disobey authority
Disobey structure
Raise oneself over authority push in disrespect
those over us down
Look at how Christ endured the passion for these
sins of injustice.
Eve raised herself up
Eve wanted to be equal to God
Eve disobeyed God
Eve obeyed the devil
God elevates our knowing and loving capacity in baptism.
Satan wants a person to act enviously when they act enviously
they think they need to raise above their
brother to look good and push their brother
down they think
the lower they push their brother down the
better they look
God created each person with a purpose to
love each other and rejoice when one
is contributing in their uniqueness to
the building of God's Kingdom
R. The 4th
Commandment
Children are to obey their parents
This is a commandment of God
Children are not to argue and
disobey and try to
smart mouth adults
Respect for life Respect of authority
God is a Supreme being
He raises us up
He loves us
He elevates our knowing and loving
capacity in baptism
He gives us a sharing in
His life
He feeds this life with Himself.
Satan wants people
disrespecting each other
being angry and saying Rocca
to their brother
Matthew 15: 4-9
For God said, "Honour your father and your mother" and "Anyone who curses his father or mother will be put to death." But you say, "If anyone says to his father or mother: Anything I might have used to help you is dedicated to God, he is rid of his duty to father or mother." In this way you have made God's word ineffective by means of your tradition. Hypocrites! How rightly Isaiah prophesied about you when he said:
This people honours me
only with lip-service,
while their hearts are far from me.
Their reverence of me is worthless;
the lessons they teach are nothing
but human commandments.
R. Lying
Not having gratitude
Being selfish seeing everything
according to them when
God calls us to be docile
to grow in virtue
faith, hope, love, humility,
prudence, temperance,
fortitude, justice
Satan wants anger, envy, jealousy,
pride, lust, greed, slothfulness.
Satan wants hate, division, disharmony
to rule in our hearts
God is a just judge
Here are the 10 Commandments
The Ten Commandments
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
4. Honor your father and your mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.
R. Marriage is a sacrament
The Church requires Catholics to
marry in the Church
Parents should marry in the Church
and be practicing Catholics
if they want to have
their children baptized.
Parents are to bring the
child up as the Church
requires
There are rules about marriage
and baptism
They are sacraments in the Church
R. A person has to be ready for first
communion they just
can't start going to first communion
because they feel like it when
they were not prepared by
the Church and allowed
to go to First Communion
R. Here is the last promise Jesus gave to
St. Margaret Mary
Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart:
12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the
first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving
their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

You are my youth that I have called here in the Junior Shepherds of Christ to go out into this world and to spread the love of my Son. He is calling each one of you, His special, chosen children to draw ever closer to His Heart. You are the youth of America.

Joyful Mysteries
Mary's Heart
The Annunciation
1. R. Put yourself in the presence of God. God dwells in our graced, baptized soul. Put aside all the distractions of the day and focus on the lives of Jesus and Mary.
2. R. Come and dwell in the heart of the Virgin Mary. Be so aware of the gentleness and the kindness and the love in her Immaculate and pure heart. Focus totally on the heart of Mary.
3. R. Experience this rosary as you feel the emotions that Mary knew and felt and the love of Jesus all through the rosary. See Mary when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, listen to the conversation between Mary and the angel.
4. R. Recorded in the heart of Mary are all the events, her relationship with Jesus. Mary pondered many things in her heart. Put yourself there as the angel appears to Mary and as Mary responds to the angel.
Luke 1:38 Mary said, You see before you the Lords servant, let it happen to me as you have said.
R. Mary lived her life according to His will, always pleasing her Father as a sweet little daughter loves her Father. Mary always obeyed the Father. She lived her life seeking to do His will. Mary shows us her love for God the Father.
5. R. Mary conceived the Child Jesus in her womb through the power of the Holy Spirit. Mary felt the life of the Child Jesus grow within her womb. Focus on the feelings in Mary's heart. Recorded in her heart are all the tender events of the life of Christ. As we focus on these events through the heart of Mary we will join ever closer to His Heart.
6. R. The life of the Child Jesus as He grew in the womb of His Mother depended on the heart of Mary beating. The two Hearts, the Heart of Jesus and the heart of Mary, within the same body, beating in such closeness, Mary and Jesus' Hearts beating as one from the beginning.
7. R. So many events in the life of Christ recorded deeply in the heart of Mary. Mary knew she carried the Child Jesus within her womb. Mary the Mother of God. Mary carried Jesus in her womb.
8. R. Oh, tender heart of Mary, let me feel with your heart and know the Child Jesus more with your heart. Let us learn more about Jesus' life as we join ever closer to your Immaculate and pure heart.
9. R. It is through the rosary and meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary that Their lives become alive in our life. We pray in every prayer united to Their two Hearts. We beg to be filled more and more with His life in our graced, baptized soul. Help us as we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary to understand more and more the mysteries of the lives of Jesus and Mary. We want to be examples of your life living in us.
10. R. It is through baptism that we share in His Divine Life and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced, baptized soul. We wish to be filled more and more with His life in us. Feel the vibrancy of this life in us, as we are saturated more and more with His life every day as we go to the Eucharist. It is through the rosary that we meditate on Their lives and live Their life more fully in all of our actions.
The Visitation
1. R. Oh, tender Heart of the Child Jesus, that was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary, help us to unite ever closer to Your tender and gentle loving Heart through the heart of Your beloved Mother.
2. R. Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Her heart is bursting with such joy to share the good news. She goes to one person and tells the great news that she is carrying the Child Jesus within her womb. In the rosary chapel, there is the window on Jesus ascending into Heaven. Mary goes to one person and as Jesus ascended into Heaven He left behind the Apostles to carry out the work that He had begun.
This day He gives to us this mission - to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. As we meditate deeply on these mysteries of the rosary, the lives of Jesus and Mary live more in our lives. We join more fully in the liturgy as we know more and more about Their lives.
3. R. Mary carried the Child Jesus within her womb. The child within Elizabeth's womb, leapt for joy. Today we receive Jesus in the Eucharist. We receive the presence of the Almighty God. We receive the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, in His Divinity and His humanity in the Eucharist. Should we not leap for joy at the fact that the Almighty God gives Himself to us!
4. R. God the Father chose the Virgin Mary. God the Father so loved this world that He sent His Son Jesus in her womb. Mary is the Singular vessel. We unite in deep union with Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the heart of Mary, her Immaculate Heart. Mary loves the Father so much. Mary loves her Son. Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. We will unite in the deepest union with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit through Mary's heart.
5. R. The heart of Mary knows the Heart of Christ. Mary pondered so many things in her heart. We should love God through Mary's heart - love our brothers through Mary's heart and love all the little children of the world through Mary's heart. If I dwell in the heart of Mary, I will love more and more as Mary loved, with her pure and gentle heart.
6. R. Mary carried the child within her womb. Mary is the Mother of God. Mary, full of grace.
7. R. The more I unite to the heart of Mary, the more I dwell in her heart, the more I will act in pure and gentle likeness to Mary, perfect handmaid of the Lord. The more I love with Mary's heart, the more I am united with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
From Tell My People
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

8. Hail Mary
9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary
The Birth of Jesus
1. R. Jesus came into this world a little baby to be loved. Approachable and lovable, He waits for us this day to come and be with Him and to tell Him of our deep love for Him.
2. R. Oh, Heart of Jesus, I long to unite so much more tenderly to your Heart. It is through the heart of Your beloved Mother that I will know so much more about You and the tenderness of Your love. Help me to dwell more and more in the heart of Your Mother and thereby dwell deeply and lovingly in Your precious Sacred Heart.
3. R. There was such tenderness between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. From the first moment of conception she carried the child within her womb and felt the child grow and move within her. Recorded in her heart were all of these incidents in the life of Jesus. For two mysteries of the rosary the Child Jesus is within the womb of the Virgin Mary, and He receives His life through her heart. In the third mystery of the rosary Mary gives to Jesus her precious milk, and He is dependent on Mary for His physical life in this mystery.
4. R. We see Mary tenderly hold the Child Jesus in her arms. We see her as she holds the lifeless body of her Son in her arms under the cross. It is in Mary that we will unite deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus. It is in dwelling in her heart, in knowing His life in all the details, as she knows His life, as she pondered all of the aspects of His life, that we will know Him more and more.
Dear Mary, help us to dwell more and more in your heart and Jesus' Heart.
5. R. A little baby, born in the town of Bethlehem, such quietness, but this is the Son of God who came to this earth to save man from his sins.
6. R. Jesus was rejected at birth. He died on a cross. Both on bare wood.
7. R. Jesus came to show us the way and His way is the way of love, born a little baby in the town of Bethlehem. The Son of God, He is not adorned with gold and silver, but comes humbly in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes and the angels sing the glory of God.
8. R. Mary kept all of these things in her heart. Mary pondered all these things. How the heart of Mary knows the Heart of Jesus - all the details and incidents of Jesus' life!
Dear Mary, help us to know more and more our beloved Jesus as you knew Him. Help us to know Him in our Hearts, to be there as we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary, to be there in the town of Bethlehem and see the Child Jesus, born in the Manger, in such poverty, to see the love that Jesus came in such poverty, for love of us.
9. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
10. This is a message from your Mother Mary: To all my beloved that I have gathered here. It is a very important message that I am delivering to you. It is My dear ones, dwelling in my heart, that you will know more and more the love of my Son, in seeing through my eyes, my Son Jesus.
As you
meditate on the Mysteries of Our lives, as you see through my heart, you
will know my Son more and more. Jesus came into this world in my womb.
Jesus was held in my arms and Jesus was held in my arms under the cross.
R. Mary kept all of these things and pondered them in her heart. Mary peered into His eyes on the way to Calvary and in that look, the summation of Their lives together: all of the little things that happened in the life of Jesus. Mary saw all these events when she looked in His eyes. Mary pondered all of these things and kept them in her heart. It is in going to the heart of Mary and dwelling in her heart that she will reveal to us many secrets in the mysteries of her life and the life of her Son. She will teach us to love with her pure and tender heart, to love her Son, to love the Father, to love the Holy Spirit, to love our brothers as she tenderly loved all her little children of this world.
This message is an important message from Mary to us, a great gift to realize that as we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary and see the life of Jesus through her eyes.
R. See through her eyes as she saw her Son, lying in the manger. See through her eyes as she nursed her Son Jesus at the breast and her child, the Child Jesus looked tenderly into her eyes. As we look into the eyes of Mary, we will know more and more about our beloved Jesus, her Son.
The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
1. R. Joseph and Mary took the Child Jesus to the temple.
2. R. Simeon, the Prophet, led by the Holy Spirit, prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary to come.
3. R. And from that moment on, Mary knew of the sufferings of her Son and she kept all of these things and pondered them in her heart.
4. R. We see the intimacy between the Child Jesus and Mary. For Jesus knew all things and Mary knew of the sufferings that would come. When she looked at her child, she knew of these sufferings.
5. R. And Simeon tells Mary, "a sword too shall pierce your heart, O Mary." The Heart of Jesus was pierced with a lance and what flowed from the Heart of Jesus was the sacramental life of the Church, blood for the Eucharist and water for baptism. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace.
6. Mary: Tender and gently I held the Child Jesus within my arms in the temple and my heart was torn within my breast to hear the words of the prophet Simeon. My heart, that knew the Heart of my Son, Jesus. I watched Jesus at play and watched Him as He grew to the beautiful young man that gave His life for you, my beloved children. I am Mary, your Mother and I ask you to see through my eyes the life of my Son Jesus and to ponder in your heart, as I pondered His ways and His love.
Mary: Ponder deeply in your heart, His love for you. You do not know the gentleness and the kindness with which my Son loves each and every precious soul. Come to my heart and I will teach you of the love of my Son, the love that He has for you.
I am Mary, your Mother. I love you with the deepest motherly love. It is in meditating on the mysteries of the rosary that you will live more and more in Our lives. That the world will see through you, the reflection of my Son Jesus as He comes to you. It is in your being that you teach so many lessons to those that you touch.
Jesus calls you to love Him with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being. Meditate deeply on these mysteries of the rosary and dwell in my heart. See through my eyes, feel as I felt the sorrow and the joy. The mysteries of the rosary will make the life of my Son live within your hearts. These are Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Meditate with your whole heart and join in such oneness with Our Hearts.
7. R. See through the tender eyes of Mary as she peered into the tender eyes of her Son on Calvary. His face, covered with blood, and His head crowned with thorns! See in that look the summation of His life to that point. How the heart of Mary knows the Heart of Jesus, and in that look all of the memories that she shared with her Son, see through her eyes and know His love.
8. R. See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender, infant child. See the child's heart beat so tenderly the Savior of the world.
9. Sing: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
10. Hail Mary
The Finding in the Temple
1. R. When Jesus was 12 years old He was taken up to the temple for the feast of the Passover with Mary and Joseph. The Child Jesus was lost.
2. Mary: It is so simple, My dear sweet little children, to come and dwell in Our Hearts. Our Hearts are filled with such love, as you unite more and more in Our Hearts, you will be one with each other.
I am Mary, your Mother. Come and dwell in my heart and dwell in the Heart of my Son Jesus.
3. Mary: In the brightness of the light of the Almighty God you will know His power within your heart, for Our way is the way of light. Focus on the presence of the Almighty God dwelling within your graced, baptized soul, and know this life, this light alive within your soul.
I am Mary, your Mother. Dear, sweet children, as you dwell in my heart, you will dwell so deeply in the Heart of my Son. Realize at every moment the presence of the Almighty God within your being. Feel the light within your chest and the light of this love will radiate from your eyes and from your being and be transmitted to all my little children of this world. My little children are suffering and in pain. I am calling you to the light that shines in the darkness to unite with Our Hearts and to transmit the messages of Our love to all those you touch. I am Mary your Mother. I am present and I am with you. I am protecting you with my motherly love and caring for your every need. Join closer and closer to me, your Mother of love.
4. Mary: You may be surrounded by darkness and it may seem to close in on you but the presence of the Almighty God within your hearts will guide you in the darkest night. I am Mary, your Mother, come and dwell in Our Hearts and you will go into the darkness and what will be transmitted from you is a light that will shine in the darkest night for the love of God is a force and a power too mighty to be contained and it will be emitted from your being. I am Mary, your Mother.
5. R. And the darkness came and it folded in and the hearts of many were filled with fear and anguish and in the dark night the light was felt within those who were fixed deeply in the love of God.
6. Mary: Hearts that are cold and hard cannot unite to the Heart of my Son. Open wide your hearts and let me pour Our abundant love into your hearts.
7. Mary: Children of light I give to you the gift of my Motherly love. Accept this gift in exchange for all bitterness and anguish in your hearts for purity and for love.
8. Mary: I love you, my children.
9. Jesus: I love you, I love you, I love you.
10. Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet
August 2, 1995
Mary's heart - transcribed from a tape - received in the car (an intellectual vision)
Mary: When I was on the earth, my children, I pondered the ways of Jesus' Heart. I pondered the mystery of God's love. My life with Jesus was recorded in the memories in my heart.
Mary and Her Heart
R. Mary and her heart, all her gentleness, all her love, all her memories, all her emotions in dealing with the Child Jesus as she carried Him within her womb, as she nursed Him and took care of Him, all the memories in her heart and in her pure and gentle heart, the way that she loved the Father with such immense intensity, the way she loved her spouse the Holy Spirit with such deep, deep love, and the way she loved her Son Jesus, every detail of His life, the way she pondered His ways, the way she kept so many things in her heart. It is in dwelling in the heart of Mary, it is as I operate in this oneness from Mary's heart, that I will more operate with purity and love. As I interact with others, I will love through the heart of Mary, I will love the Father and I will love the Son and I will love the Holy Spirit through the heart of Mary. I will love God through Mary's heart, with gentleness, with purity, with deep love. I will love God more like Mary's heart as I dwell and become one in her heart. I will love others through the heart of Mary. Mary, that loves each and every soul with such tender and beautiful love for her little children. I will love my brothers more as she loves her little children. When I pray to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit I will pray with this intense love through Mary's heart. As I dwell in the heart of Mary, as I act in oneness with this heart of Mary, I will praise and love the Lord through her heart. How can I give honor and praise to God? Through Mary's heart that loves God more than any other human person can, I can give great honor to God by loving through Mary's heart. Immaculate Heart of Mary, may I forever dwell within this Immaculate Heart and in such purity give love to God and all others through the heart of Mary.
When we dwell in her heart we share her knowing of living in Jesus, her dwelling in Jesus, and of being one in Jesus.
The first place that Jesus made His entry as a man into the world was in the womb of Mary. So sacred and so holy the body of Mary to hold the Savior of the world, the Son of God.
It is so clear that it is the Father's will for us to come through Mary. Let our hearts dwell within the heart that gave life to the beloved Son of God. The heart that beat and gave Him life. Let us dwell in this holy place.
Please pray for Doris,
the whole family

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 |
