                22nd Week in Ordinary Time Tuesday
 

1 Corinthians 2: 10b-16

to us, though, God has given revelation through the Spirit, for the Spirit explores the depths of everything, even the depths of God. After all, is there anyone who knows the qualities of anyone except his own spirit, within him; and in the same way, nobody knows the qualities of God except the Spirit of God. Now, the Spirit we have received is not the spirit of the world but God’s own Spirit, so that we may understand the lavish gifts God has given us. And these are what we speak of, not in the terms learnt from human philosophy, but in terms learnt from the Spirit, fitting spiritual language to spiritual things. The natural person has no room for the gifts of God’s Spirit; to him they are folly; he cannot recognise them, because their value can be assessed only in the Spirit. The spiritual person, on the other hand, can assess the value of everything, and that person’s value cannot be assessed by anybody else. For: who has ever known the mind of the Lord? Who has ever been his adviser? But we are those who have the mind of Christ.

Psalm 145: 8-14

Praise to Yahweh the King

Hymn of Praise Of David

Het
Yahweh is tenderness and pity, 
slow to anger, full of faithful love.

Tet
Yahweh is generous to all, 
his tenderness embraces all his creatures.

Yod
All your creatures shall thank you, Yahweh, 
and your faithful shall bless you.

Kaph
They shall speak of the glory of your kingship 
and tell of your might,

Lamed
making known your mighty deeds to the children of Adam, 
the glory and majesty of your kingship.

Mem
Your kingship is a kingship for ever, 
your reign lasts from age to age.

(Nun)
Yahweh is trustworthy in all his words, 
and upright in all his deeds.

Samek
Yahweh supports all who stumble, 
lifts up those who are bowed down.

He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath. And his teaching made a deep impression on them because his word carried authority. 

    In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean devil, and he shouted at the top of his voice, ‘Ha! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.’ But Jesus rebuked it, saying, ‘Be quiet! Come out of him!’ And the devil, throwing the man into the middle, went out of him without hurting him at all. Astonishment seized them and they were all saying to one another, ‘What is it in his words? He gives orders to unclean spirits with authority and power and they come out.’ And the news of him travelled all through the surrounding countryside.

                R. God spoke with authority –
                Jesus is the way, the truth
                    and the life –

                We want God's authority –
                We want order –

                In the Gospel we see the man with
                    the unclean demon –

                    The demon threw the man
                        down it says before
                        he came out of him –

                    Jesus is authority
                    Jesus is all powerful –

                When we operate in order –
                    the power of God operates
                    in us.

                Power comes from the Father –
                    in the Heart of Jesus
                    in the Holy Spirit,
                    through the Immaculate Heart
                    of Mary to us.

                The Pope is the Vicar of the
                    Church –

                The Father the head of the
                    Family –

                Eve brought Disorder into the world –
                    in people, in the elements, in animals.

                The devil wants those under
                    authority to try to seek
                    power over authority
                    for their own sake –

                This is disorder –

                Eve wanted to be equal to
                    God –

                Adam and Eve disobeyed God –
                    This was DISORDER –

                Sin comes in DISORDER –

                Living in the Divine will –

                A person can be second and fight
                    and challenge those over
                    them –

                People in parishes can argue with
                    the priest –
                    yet the priest, pastor of the
                    parish has the power –
                    the authority –

                A person from underneath challenging
                    God's authority does so to
                    get authority for themselves –

                God is running things in
                    this world –

                Pride is seeking dominance for
                    dominance sake –
                    over what God wants –

                The devil wants power-over
                The devil wants rebellion
                    over what God wants –

                God wants us
                Living in the Divine will –
                Living in order where
                    God is above us
   

                R. The whole Second Blue Book
                    Fr. Carter said was on Surrender –

                The fool lives his life
                    challenging God's plan –

                The devil was in the man in
                    today's Gospel

                Jesus is teaching us in the
                    Blue Books about
                    LIFE IN HIM

 

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993

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.

end of May 13, 1993

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

                R. GOD IN US

                Satan wants us to
                    rebel against God

                Satan wants us to seek
                    authority - over
                    just authority
                    chosen by God –

                Satan works in
                    7 deadly sins –
                    pride, greed, envy,
                    wrath, lust, gluttony,
                    and sloth.

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

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)

August 29, 1994

Dear Friend, 

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. 

Thank you so much for your donation. 

It is because of your help we can do what Jesus and Mary tell us to do. 

We finally got Fr. Joe's last homily book out to all priests in the United States. 

We printed 40,000 and we needed most of them for the pope, the Cardinals of the world, all Bishops in the United States, and all priests in the United States.

Fr. Carter was told to spread the Shepherds of Christ Prayers all over the world.

We have them in 8 languages with the Church's Imprimatur. 

We will send Fr. Joe's new edition of homilies out as soon as we get it done, before the new cycle begins with the first Sunday of Advent. 

We start with the pope, all Cardinals of the world,

all Bishops in the United States, and all priests in the United States. 

Jesus gave Fr. Carter this message to send the Priestly Mailing to all priests in the United States and the hierarchy. 

Jesus told Fr. Carter to spread the prayer chapters all over the world. 

The beauty of this Movement is all these priests probably keep Fr. Joe's book close at hand and in the back are the prayers Fr. Carter said Jesus gave him 20 years ago when Fr. Carter, S.J. (doctorate in theology) founded the Movement praying for the priests, the Church and the world at the direction of Jesus, he said in this message enclosed that Fr. Carter said Jesus gave him on the Feast of St. Ignatius 20 years ago.
