Consecration Prayer for Peace

I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.

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

 

Prayer for Grace for Election and 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.

R. On March 6, 1994, 29 years
ago, Jesus gave me a
message. This is the mighty
medicine for the sick world.
In November, 1993, 30 years
ago, Jesus gave me a message
that said He is the doctor.

A caretaker takes care of one
that is sick. The patient may
fight about eating, taking
their meds, what they need
to do to feel better.

We can think of God as our
spiritual caretaker.
Like the sick patient, we
may think we do not need
God’s help. We can do it on
our own.

This mighty medicine in
God’s Blue Book, in the daily
writings has helped me.

The priest acts in the Mass
Persona Christi.
We are united in the Mass
deeply to Jesus, united
spiritually.
We pray to the Father,
united to Jesus, in the Holy
Spirit, through the powerful
intercession of Mary, our
Mother, with all the angels and
saints, and the souls in
purgatory for the whole
Church and the world. We
are members of the
mystical body of Christ,
united in the Mass. This is
spiritual union. The Mass is
the sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made present.
Grace is outpoured in
abundance at Mass.
What a gift.
The priest is a gift.
The Church is a gift.

Queen  Of  Peace
 

   Tell everyone that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask graces from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (Our Lady of Fatima to Jacinta.)35

   The world needs peace. Individual nations need peace and families need peace. The Church needs peace. Each of us individually needs peace. We must work for peace through prayer, fasting, and other Christ-like activities.

   And just what do we mean by peace? St. Augustine says peace is the tranquility of order. God has put order into His creation and this order must be respected and promoted if peace is to prevail. To the extent that the human family lives according to God's will—lives according to the order or the plan God has established for creation—to that extent does peace exist in the various segments of human society. To the extent there are violations of God's plan, of His will, to that extent peace is absent.

   If we are to be instruments of peace, we ourselves must be at peace. Our personal peace is the tranquility of order which results from our doing God's will. The more we are united through love with God in the doing of His will, the more we experience peace.

 

13th Sunday in Ordinary Time
June 26, 2005 (excerpt)

HOMILY - There are two themes that flow from this basic truth. I think the first message is that the gospel is not always a “feel good” message. Some people only want to hear peace, love and joy when they come to Church. They want a Church that always makes them “feel good.” Peace, love and joy are wonderful and Jesus’ promises of lasting happiness fill us with hope, and all preachers love to preach about these things, but sometimes, like today, the gospel message is not easy to hear. Being willing to give up everything for Christ, even our own lives (and many people did), is a hard message. Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran minister who spent the last two years of his life in prison for resisting Hitler, wrote a lot about “cheap grace,” grace that didn’t cost us much. Cheap grace means hoping to gain eternal happiness while asking ourselves, “What is the least I can get by with.” One of Bonhoeffer’s most memorable lines is “When Christ calls a person, he bids him come and die.” Following Christ can cost us dearly. If we’re afraid of that, if we’re always looking for a Church that doesn’t really challenge us, then we are not wanting to hear Christ.

The second theme of today’s gospel is kindness, especially to those who bring this message of life through death to us. That includes our hierarchy, the priests and religious, but it includes parents and grandparents, neighbors and friends, teachers and spouses and all who have taught us about Christ and who have been models of faith for us. Most of us didn’t get our faith out of a textbook. We got it by God’s inspiration and by seeing how others lived it. I did come to know some wonderful priests when I was growing up, but most seemed to me to be stuffy and distant. My faith came primarily from my parents and those who taught me in school. And it still is enriched by people I have known and do know now at St. Boniface. When you are here faithfully every week and you pray and sing from your hearts, my spirits are lifted in prayer. So this act of kindness to God’s messengers that Jesus promises to reward applies to anyone. A young girl told the story about needing to have her teeth repaired when she was in college. Being a struggling college student, she could hardly afford to have one tooth filled, but the pain was so bad she had to see a dentist. When she went, he wanted to fix all her teeth and she said I can’t afford it and started to leave. He understood and said “well, when you finish college you’ll get a job and make some money and you can pay me then.” He did the job, on credit, and it made a wonderful difference in the way she felt. She was able to pay him off after graduation. She called him a “woodwork angel.” She described “woodwork angels” as strangers who come out of
nowhere, out of the woodwork, when a person needs help. They may help out with money, skills, protection from danger or from making a big mistake, they may offer us hospitality as the woman did for the prophet Elisha or they may simply offer us a cup of cold water. We all need them. We all need to be one to others. Herman Melville said, “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow human beings.” And Elbert Hubbard said, “People are rich only as they give. He who gives great service gets great returns.” Jesus said, “whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple – amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”


R. Fr. Joe and Fr. Carter
thank you for your lives
given for others.
Holy priests living more
and more like Jesus.

These two priests were
witnesses to us, to the
Church, to the Movement.

2 Witnesses.

A priest is a Gift from
God.

Please help me spread the
Prayers for the priests, the

Mysteries of Light

The Baptism of Jesus

1.
Matthew 3: 13-17

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him. And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’ 

2. The sky was thrown open,
    the voice of the Father was
    heard.
3. “This is My beloved Son in
    whom I am well pleased.”
4. This began Jesus’ public
    life.
5. Jesus is the way, the
    truth and the life.
6. Jesus lived the quiet life
    for 30 years.
7. Jesus taught in parables.
8. Jesus worked many
    miracles.
9. John the Baptist prepared
    the way for Jesus.
10. John said, He must
    increase, I must decrease.


The Marriage at Cana

1.
John 2: 1-10  

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’  There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’ 

2. Jesus performed His first
    miracle at Cana.
3. Jesus changed water into
    wine.
4. We are given the great gift
    of the priest.
5. The priest is a gift from
    God.
6. Song: A Priest is a Gift from God

7. The Mass is the sacrifice
    of Calvary, sacramentally
    made present.
8. We unite deeply to the
    Trinity in the Mass.
9. Dear Father, we offer all
    our prayers, works, joys and
    sufferings of this day to the
    Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
    united to Jesus, in the Holy
    Spirit, through the
    intercession of Mary and
    the angels and the saints,
    and the souls in purgatory,
    praying for the priests, the
    Church and the world.
    Amen.
10. Dear Father, I am sorry
    for offending You with my
    sins, I adore You and
    worship You and love You.
    Please accept my sacrifice
    in the Mass, united to
    Jesus, I love You, so much.
    Petition, Thanksgiving,
    Praise, Satisfaction for sins,
    Reparation. Amen.

    God I love You So Much!!
    Amen.

  

The Kingdom of God

1. Matthew 5: 3-12

How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the gentle:
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
Blessed are those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those
   who hunger and thirst for uprightness:
they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and
speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this
is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

2. Christ is priest, prophet and
    King.
3. We must die to ourselves
    and rise in Him.
4. Come to me Lord and
    possess my soul.
5. Come into my heart and
    permeate my soul.
6. I am Yours Lord I want to
    have my life in You.
7. Help me to live in the
    Father's will.
8. Help me to live in love.
9. Dear God, please give me
    the grace I need most.
10. Dear God help me to live
    in the moment.

    Song: Live This Day

Amen.

The Transfiguration

1.
Mark 9: 2-8

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

2. Disciples listen to God.
3. Help us to live by God's
    will.

4. A 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

5. These are the mysteries
    of Light.
6. Jesus is the Light of the
    world.
7. Live in the light, one in
    Jesus.
8. Jesus wants to dwell in
    our hearts.
9. Go to the Immaculate
    Heart of Mary - Mary will
    take us to Jesus' Heart.
10. Jesus' Heart is on fire
    for love of us.
    Breathe in Jesus.
    Breathe out anxiety.
    Live in the moment.
 

The Institution of the Eucharist

1. Matthew 26: 26-29

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’

2. 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

3. God is love.
4. The giving of Himself,
    Body, Blood, Soul and
    Divinity is about love.
5. Jesus, Divinely loves us.
6. Oh Lord, hear my prayer,
    please help me now, give
    me the grace I need most.
    Help me Jesus, now.

Children’s Joyful Mysteries

August 3, 1995

Junior Shepherds of Christ Associates

The Annunciation

1. Mary: My dear little children, I am so pleased that you have come and gathered to pray the rosary with me. I am your loving Mother. I love you with the deepest motherly love. Focus on the mysteries of the rosary, and meditate on each mystery so you understand more and more the life of my Son, Jesus and my life. I am Mary your Mother and I love you.

2. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of God.

3. R. Mary was the highly favored daughter of the Father. All through her life, she lived to please her heavenly Father.

4. R. She said to the angel, “Be it done unto me according to thy word.”

5. R. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

6. R. Think of how much the Father loves us that He sent His Son, Jesus into this world.

7. R. All through the lives of Jesus and Mary, we see how Jesus and Mary did the Father’s will.

8. R. The Father has a plan for each one of us gathered here. We are very important to this plan, the plan of salvation. It is in opening up our hearts and letting Jesus and Mary into our hearts, that we will know more and more what the Father wants us to do.

9. Mary: My dear little children, pray to my spouse, the Holy Spirit. He will lead you all through your life to know more and more the will of your Heavenly Father. Your Father created you so special, there is not another person that is like you. He loves you. You are His creation. My dear little children, open up your heart and let the love of Jesus flow into your heart. He loves you with the tenderest and gentlest love. I am Mary, your Mother.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Visitation

1. R. The statue of Mary is illuminated with light, and she is very beautiful.

2. Mary: My dear little children, you do not know how Jesus waits by the door of your heart and wants to be so close to you. Every minute, all through your day, Jesus is there waiting for you to talk to Him. He loves you with the deepest, burning love. I am Mary, your Mother. Open your heart and let go of anything that is blocking you from a loving relationship with my Son, Jesus. You are the children of this world, and you will carry the love of Jesus to many souls.

3. R. Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth, and the child within the womb of Elizabeth jumped for joy at the presence of Mary and Jesus.

4. R. A visit from Jesus, Jesus loves us so much that He remains with us in the Holy Eucharist. He is as present in the Holy Eucharist as He was in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

5. R. Think of that, Mary carried the Child Jesus within her womb, but Jesus loves each one of us.

6. Jesus: My dear little children, I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. How I long and wait for you to come to receive Me in the Holy Eucharist. You are My precious, innocent children. I wait, I want to be with you. Come to Me. Tell Me all of your cares. I am the Almighty God. I am waiting and longing for you to come. Come to Me in the Eucharist and share this deep union with Me. I love you, I love you, I love you.

7. R. How tenderly the Hearts of Jesus and Mary love each one of us and how tenderly Mary loves the precious children of this world.

8. R. It is through the youth, through the children, through the young adults, that much of the renewal will be accomplished. Mary is calling each one of you here to be ever closer to the Heart of her Son. Jesus wants you to be filled with His love and to shed His light in the darkness in this world today.

9. R. A visit from Jesus, Jesus gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist, but in baptism, we receive a sharing in His Divine life, and if we stay in the state of grace, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwell within us in our graced, baptized soul in a special way.

10. R. Our biggest fear should be offending Jesus, to be in mortal sin.

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. Mary: My sweet little children of this world, you are never alone. My Son, Jesus is waiting and longing for you to speak with Him.

2. R. God the Father so loved this world that He sent His Son. Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem. A little baby, babies are so lovable, Jesus came as a baby. He wants us to give Him our love.

3. R. Jesus no longer walks the earth, but out of greatest love He remains with us in the Holy Eucharist, the same as the day He walked the earth. He remains in our graced baptized soul in a special way.

4. R. Jesus came into this world. He was born a baby for the love of each and every soul and He died for each and every soul. He asks us to love all of our brothers.

5. R. His way is the way of love. He asks us to love God and to love each other.

6. R. The angels sang and the Son of God was born in the town of Bethlehem in such poverty, born in a manger, and wrapped in swaddling clothes. Jesus loves us so much.

7. R. Jesus was surrounded with little sheep and by shepherds. How tenderly He loves each one of us and wants us to be with Him forever in our true home in Heaven.

8. Mary: My dear sweet youth, open up your heart, my Son is giving to you His abundant love and giving to you special graces to know Him more and more. Let go of anything that is blocking you from His love.

9. R. Jesus came into this world our Savior. Let us thank Him and praise Him.

10. R. Mary our Mother, mothers us this day as she cared for and loved her child Jesus.

 

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1. R. Joseph and Mary took the Child Jesus to the Temple to present Him to the Father.

2. R. Simeon the prophet tells Mary and Joseph of the sufferings that Jesus and Mary would undergo.

3. R. Simeon told Mary, and a sword too shall pierce your heart, O Mary.

4. R. Jesus loves us so much that He gave His flesh and His Blood for love of us.

5. R. Through His pierced Heart, Blood and water flowed.

6. R. Jesus gives us a sharing in His Divine life in baptism.

7. R. This life flows from the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary, into our hearts.

8. R. Nothing satisfies our soul, but the love of God.

9. R. Simeon told Mary, that a sword too, would pierce her heart.

10. R. It is in Baptism that we are given this sharing in His life, let us pray fervently to stay forever in the state of grace, and to thank Jesus for giving us a sharing in His life in baptism.

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. R. When Jesus was twelve years old, Mary and Joseph took Him to the Temple for the feast of the Passover.

2. R. Joseph and Mary did not know where the Child Jesus was.

3. R. They realized that the Child Jesus was not with them, and they returned to Jerusalem with their hearts sorrowing in search for Child Jesus.

4. Mary: How many of my little children are lost in this world today. 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. This movement will spread throughout the world, and you will be a vital force of spreading His love. Pray every day your consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask Jesus to help you to grow more and more in His life and be joined ever closer to His Heart.

5. Mary: Many of my little children throughout this world are in the state of sin. It is through your prayers that you will help many youth.

6. Mary: I am Mary your Mother. I appear here, my dear ones, for this request is an urgent request for you to pray every day. Your prayers are so pure and the Father loves the youth to pray to Him. I am Mary your Mother. I am guarding you. I am watching you. I am caring for you. Come to my heart my dear, sweet children and let me protect you and fill you with the love of my Son.

7. Mary: Many of those things that you see in this world today are not of God. You must pray every day with all your heart to know the will of the Father. The Father has a plan for you. You were called here by my Son, Jesus. You must pray as you have never prayed before.

8. Mary: My heart is in so much sorrow for my little lost children of this world. Will you pray for all of the children of the world?

9. Mary: I call all souls on this earth, my children, old and young alike are my children, for I am your heavenly Mother. All souls on this earth are my beloved, little children. I love each soul with my maternal love, more than any earthly mother. I love all my little children of this world. You have been called, a special calling to come to this Center and to pray for all the children of the world.

10. Mary: The Father will listen to your prayers. My sweet little children, pray for the priests, pray for the little children of the world and for the priests. You are my special apostles that I am sending into the world to teach the youth of the love of God.

R. Mary is extremely illuminated and she has been like that since the beginning of the rosary. She still remains like this appearing to me.

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012)
$ 10.00

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. $10

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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. $10

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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. $10

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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. $10
