September 22nd Holy Spirit Novena Scripture selection is Day 5 Period I.

The Novena Rosary Mysteries for September 22nd are Sorrowful.

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.

God is love!

Jesus died for all souls.

The message you received to pray united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for all the souls of the earth.

Grace will be outpoured when people pray the morning offering for the priests, the Church and the world and for your needs.

I need You my God. Please help me now.

Thank You for all your gifts to me.

Mary: My child, to those who believe no proof is necessary, to those who want more and more proof- no proof is enough for them.

Jesus gave you the writing of September 19, 2025 put here, also the Morning Offering.

I am Mary, Our Lady of Clearwater.

Mary: I am your spiritual Mother.
I take you to Jesus’ Heart.
Come to my Immaculate Heart.

appeared to me once

 

 

We are so blessed to know God more
and more and carry out His cause.
 

A Few Thoughts

September 19, 2025

Unite to the Mass in the Morning
Offering and pray for the souls in the
world.

My desire is His desire. To give my
life united to the Mass and pray for all
the souls of the earth, that Jesus died
for.

The power in the Mass is so powerful
to help His world.
The world belongs to Christ.

In the world are so many lost souls,
they are all over this world.

We are called to love these souls Jesus
died for and pray for them.

God created us in the image of His
Son Jesus, with the intention for us in
growing in this image to help others
in spreading the Good News.

Love is doing God’s will in love.

Love is trying to be like Christ in the
world.

All the years Mary appeared to me
was about lost souls - to pray for
them, to reach them, to quit
offending God through our sins.

Her message was to love, to honor
and adore God and to praise and
thank Him.

I can do all this with a pure interior
disposition, putting God first,
loving and obeying the Father’s
will, living in oneness with God!

Jesus’ whole life was in loving
conformity to His Father’s will.

Oh God I ponder the gifts You
have given in the Church and the
Priest, the sacraments.

My whole life, only one person,
is to see my brothers and unite to
the Mass praying for the souls
around the world.
The souls the Father created in love.

The mystical body of Christ is
united to the Mass. Even the biggest
division others may try to inflict
upon us can be the offering of very
great love to Jesus.

Jesus wants us to be holy.
We need to pray for the priest, the
Church and the world.
God is all worthy of our love.

We are to adore God, to thank Him,
to love Him, to petition Him and
be sorry for our sins, asking for
forgiveness and mercy and making
a firm purpose of amendment.

God gives us a sharing in His life in
Baptism and feeds us with the Body
and Blood of Jesus, so we can be
transformed.

Oh my God teach me Your ways.

Let love and truth rule my heart.
Let obedience to God be lived in my
life.
I adore You God, I thank You, I am
sorry for the sins of the human race
and my sins.
I am sorry for the division and hard
hearts, when Your Sacred Heart is
open giving refuge and love.

Song: 1994

Give me Your Heart, Oh Jesus give
me a heart like Yours.

Are you living the Consecration to the
Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart as
Jesus told Fr. Carter to do 31 years ago.
Living the consecration to the Hearts
of greatest love (the new Adam, the
new Eve).
Mary told us this at Fatima over 100
years ago.

This is our life: A Covenant of love
with God.
Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist.

We can offer up all we do united to
the Mass for the priests, the Church,
the world, for souls and for our needs.

God loves us so much.
Jesus died for us on the cross and
rose the third day.

Doing God’s will in love is our map
in life.
Amen.

Thanks and Love

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell, lead all
souls to heaven, especially those in
most need of your mercy.
 

Morning Offering

    Dear Father,
    I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus
    in the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through
    the powerful intercession of Mary, our
    spiritual Mother, with all the angels and
    saints, and the souls in purgatory, for
    the priest, the Church, and the world.

    We love You God so much.
    We thank You and adore You and
    petition You for our needs. Amen.

R. God created us to be united to work with one another.

In a family there is order, a father, a mother, children.

The children are told in the 4th commandment to obey their parents.

God created an orderly harmonious world.
Eve disobeyed God, the devil told her if she disobeyed God she would be equal to God.

With the disobedience of Adam and Eve sin entered the world and with sin, disorder, division, chaos, disharmony in the elements,
Disharmony in creatures, disharmony in the animals, the fish.

Jesus is our Redeemer, Jesus came with a kind and generous heart.

Jesus is the Savior of the world.

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.
 

Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life.

Oh my God you are beautiful to me.
Oh my God thank you for the Mass and the Eucharist,
Thank you for all you have told me about you my God.

R. Oh my God, I give you this sacrifice and unite it to the Mass to help me here now with my needs, give me the grace I need most.

Oh my God thank you for Sunday, I love Sunday my God, the Lord's Day.

Dear Father, I love You so much,

Oh my God I am hearty sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because I offend Thee who art worthy of all my love.

Oh God I am sorry for my sins.

Come to me Lord and possess my soul.

Oh God, I love You so much.

Through Baptism the Christian becomes incorporated into Christ and His Church.
Confirmation perfects this incorporation.

Through these two Sacraments the image of Christ is invisibly imprinted upon my soul.

Our life is to be lived to grow in this image and likeness of Jesus.
This is Our Father’s Plan for us.

We live the Christ-life, we seek more and more to be abundantly filled with His life in us.
We live the Pascal Mystery of Death / Resurrection.

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. If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his;

We live the Mystery of Christ in our lives, His life death and Resurrection.

 

Prayer of Love to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Most Sacred, beautiful Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee.

Dear Father thank you for the precious love You have given me, all the years of my life.

I unite to You, Oh Holy Spirit, fill me with Your light and Your truth.

I see You, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Your Heart is on fire for me, I love You so much, Jesus.

Dear Immaculate Heart of Mary, my Mother, please give me through your powerful intercession the motherly love I need to be an instrument in this world to answer that call you have asked for, to help the souls that need my prayers.

I offer up my sacrifices united to the Mass for the Grace to pray for the precious souls all over the world that need prayers today because of their hardened hearts, that refuse to turn from the evil they hold onto and live in the way Jesus shows us.

Dear Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I pray for the grace to help me in the Shepherds of Christ to be able to do what I have been called to do in Your Movement.

Please cast the devil into hell away from me and others in this mission, You have called in trying to accomplish what I have been called to do to help reach the souls You died for and to help these souls on this journey to one day go to heaven.

We have been called to love and adore and worship You, my Savior.
Oh Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, You are the Son of God, You are all good and loving, and worthy of my love, please spread Your Blood on me and this mission, You have called me to.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
You are all loving and worthy of my love.I love You with all my heart.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I consecrate my heart to Your most Sacred Heart.
My heart is overwhelmed in love of Thee.

Most Holy Immaculate Mary, I give you my heart now and ask you to protect me in your pure and Immaculate Heart.

Holy Spirit infuse into my intellect wisdom, knowledge and counsel. Fill me with the vision to see through the eyes of God, to love with the Heart of Jesus and to know and love as You direct me in the Fathers will. Help me to co-operate with this grace to walk in this way in loving conformity to the Father’s will.

Please help the truth to be in me.

Thank You my God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come and abundantly dwell in me in great oneness.

Help me to grow in loving.
Help me to be obedient to God’s will. Help me to be united in oneness with God and others.

Amen.

R. We help in the work of Redemption and we are redeemed as we do.

The devil doesn’t want us united to the Mass, praying for all the souls Jesus died for.
But I know them and love them in my heart. Mary asked for this. Pray through her powerful intercession.

Novena to St. Joseph, Patron and Father

Dear Saint Joseph,

I turn to you, you who cared and
protected the child Jesus and the

Jesus and Mary. You were so close to
them. You showed us love.

Your heart was pure and gentle and
yet you were strong in being their
manly protector on earth, intercede
for us to depend more and more on
God for all our needs, for when we
are weak we are strong in God.

St. Joseph please intercede for a
peaceful and holy death for us and
our sick loved ones.

St. Joseph help us now in this nine

Thank you God for all You give to me.
I pray this "All for the honor and Glory of
God". Amen.
 

Matthew 22: 36-40

'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.'

Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.

Alleluia.

help us in peace in the world, the Churchs,
the family, the work place for all your little
children of the world.
We need your help for peace now, hear our
pleas as we turn to your powerful intercession.

Mysteries of Light

The Baptism of Jesus

1. Mark 1: 9-11

It was at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’

2. A First Thoughts 2 -
    Christ in Our Lives - October 23, 2024

We adopt more and more the mind of Christ.
We want to be more and more holy, interiorly.
 

2. We want that interior disposition in the image
and likeness of Jesus.

3.We, as the baptized, living in the state of grace,
want to grow in holiness and virtue.

It is in dying to our self-will, not like the Father’s
will, we live the life of resurrection.
We seek in our lives to put on Christ.
We want His presence in us.

4. We become more and more one in Him.
We want to be abundantly filled with His life in
us.
We learn much about sanctity from recognizing
Christ lived the quiet life.
That is how the Father had Christ on this earth.
Christ lived with Mary and Joseph as an ordinary
man doing ordinary things.

5. Christ lived the private and public life.
Christ continually gave Himself for others.

Christ showed us the Father’s love.
Christ showed us absolute truth.
God is absolute truth.
Our lives are to witness to the truth.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

6. We live the life, death, and Resurrection in our
lives. We die to our self-will more and more and
therefore live more the life of resurrection.
God calls us to holiness whether we are out in
the world involved in work etc. or living a quiet
life.
Whether active life or prayer and sacrifice, we
are to bring Christ to the world.

7. We live the Mass in our lives.
We help in the work of redemption.
We work to interiorly put on the mind of Christ.
We are pure in our interior disposition.
We put on Christ.
Witness only as Christ wants us to do.

8. From the Constitution of the Liturgy “… the
liturgy is the summit toward which the activity
of the Church is directed; at the same time it is
the font from which all her power flows.”
                                                   

9. A Few Thoughts - September 21, 2025

Through Baptism the Christian becomes incorporated into Christ and His Church.

Confirmation perfects this incorporation.
Through these two Sacraments the image of Christ is invisibly imprinted upon my soul.

Our life is to be lived to grow in this image and likeness of Jesus.
This is Our Father’s Plan for us.

We live the Christ-life, we seek more and more to be abundantly filled with His life in us.
We live the Pascal Mystery of Death/ Resurrection.

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. If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his;

We live the Mystery of Christ in our lives, His life death and Resurrection.

10. Morning Offering

    Dear Father,
    I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus
    in the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through
    the powerful intercession of Mary, our
    spiritual Mother, with all the angels and
    saints, and the souls in purgatory, for
    the priest, the Church, and the world.

    We love You God so much.
    We thank You and adore You and
    petition You for our needs. Amen.       

 

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. Priestly Newsletter Book III 2000 #3, pp. 41-42.
The following words of St. John Eudes remind
us of the glorious goal the Christian is called to:
the most intimate union with Jesus.

3. Priestly Newsletter Book III continues

"I ask you to consider that our Lord Jesus Christ
is your true head and that you are a member of
his body. He belongs to you as the head belongs
to the body.

4. All that is his is yours: breath,
heart, body, soul and all his faculties. All of
these you must use as if they belonged to you,
so that in serving him you may give him praise,
love and glory.

5. You belong to him as a member
belongs to the head. This is why he earnestly desires
you to serve and glorify the Father by using
all your faculties as if they were his.

6. "He belongs to you, but more than that, he
longs to be in you, living and ruling in you, as
the head lives and rules in the body.

7. He desires that whatever is in him may live
and rule in you: his breath in your breath, his
heart in your heart, all the faculties of his soul
in the faculties of your soul...

8. "You belong to the Son of God, but more than
that, you ought to be in him as the members are
in the head. All that is in you must be incorpo-
rated into him. You must receive life from him
and be ruled by him.

9. There will be no true life for you
except in him, for he is the one source
of true life. Apart from him you will find only
death and destruction. Let him be the only
source of your movements, of the actions and
the strength of your life.

10. "Finally, you are one with Jesus as the body is
one with the head. You must, then, have one
breath with him, one soul, one life, one will,
one mind, one heart. And he must be your
breath, heart, love, life, your all. These great
gifts in the follower of Christ originate from
baptism. They are increased and strengthened
through confirmation and by making good use
of other graces that are given by God. Through
the holy eucharist they are brought to perfection."
St. John Eudes, from a treatise on the Admirable Heart of Jesus, as in
The Liturgy of the Hours, Catholic Book Publishing Co., Vol. IV, pp. 1331-32.

 

Building the Kingdom of God

1. John 18: 36-37

Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’

 

2. Priestly Newsletter Book III 2000 #3, pp. 52-53.
The death-resurrection of Jesus, which is encountered
in a special way through the sacraments,
is most especially renewed in the
Eucharistic Sacrifice.

3. Consequently, we can see the logical
connection between the sacraments
and the Mass.

4. Indeed, all of the sacraments
point to the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

5. At the Last Supper, on the night He was betrayed,
our Saviour instituted the Eucharistic Sacrifice of
His Body and Blood.

6. He did this in order to perpetuate
the sacrifice of the Cross throughout the centuries
until He should come again, and so to entrust
to His beloved spouse, the Church, a memorial of
His death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a
sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet
in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with
grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us (Vatican
II, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 17)

7. The Church, therefore, earnestly desires that
Christ's faithful, when present at this mystery of
faith, should not be there as strangers or silent spectators.

8. On the contrary, through a proper appreciation
of the rites and prayers they should participate
knowingly, devoutly, and actively.

9. They should be instructed by God’s word
and be refreshed at the table of the Lord’s
body; they should give thanks to God;
by offering the Immaculate Victim, not only
through the hands of the priest, but also with him,
they should learn to offer themselves too.

10. Through Christ the Mediator, they should be
drawn day by day into ever closer union with
God and with each other, so that finally God may
be all in all. (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy,
No. 48)

 

The Transfiguration

1. 2 Peter 1:16-19

When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.
 

2. A Few Thoughts 2 -
    The Priest - Another Christ - October 12, 2024

Christ is a Divine Person: Second Person of the
Holy Trinity, with 2 Natures: human and Divine.
Christ died on the cross, showing us manhood
and rose from the dead, glorified showing us He
is Divine.

3. The secret to all this is profound.
“Death, oh death where is your sting.” 1 Corinthians 15
Christ is the first fruits of one fallen asleep,
dying on the cross.

4. It is through Christ’s precious blood we are redeemed.
The blood is so significant - the shedding of His
Precious Blood.

5. I see the meal at the Last Supper.
I see the Mass as the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.
The priest is so important to God.
Persona - Christi!!!

6. We offer ourselves.
The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally
made present!

7. I know more this treasure in my soul, even
though I don’t understand the profound truth of
what transpires in this mystery.

8. It feels like an itch in my soul, I want to deeply
scratch to get it deeper and deeper, to feel fullness
of what is beyond, I do not know yet, and
cannot, grasp, but seek to so much.

9. Divine truths - sacrifice, redemption, greater
knowledge and fullness of God.

10. Fr. Carter wrote 3 Synopsis of the Spiritual Life.
He was dying and intent on getting his last one
out in 2000. It is in the Priestly Newsletter Book
III 2000 #3, pp. 52-53.
On the Eucharist from Constitution on the Sacred
Liturgy And Mystic Corporis from Pope Pius XII.
(on p. 2 in this book)
Profound. I love this.

 

The Institution of the Eucharist

1. Luke 22: 14-20

When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’

Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

2. A Few Thoughts 2 -
    God is With Me - October 4, 2024

I have never been alone since my mom died.
At 5, maybe sooner since she had cancer when
I was smaller.
I realize I have had the presence of God and
that is a grace.
I have not been alone.

3. When mom died I knew about heaven.
I went to communion daily most of my life since
my first communion.
I can feel His presence.
The devil tries to distract me to get me to feel
alone, abandoned, but I have this cognitive reality
today and strength.
I am never alone!
God is with me - no matter what happens and I
know it.

4. I must hold tight to this reality.
My strength is in this.
God is with me.
Always there!
It is peace in turmoil!
Peace in a storm when others come against me.
It is God in me that makes me strong in Him.
God is my light!
God is my rear guard!
God is my strength!
Pray for the grace we need most!
We need the grace to know, God is with us!
This is our strength.
There is presence and strength in Him.
Ref. 1 John 4:17-21

5. I want this existence in Him, always.
The Holy Spirit helps me know this, in my intellect,
my being permeated by presence, crying
out to be possessed by God, dying to self-will.
I am confident and unafraid in Him.
I know His presence.
Fear cannot enter in. I pray for His presence and
strength.
I long for Him!

6. I long for His Eucharistic presence. I long for the
Mass.
I want more of knowing Him!
This is joy!
I am confident and unafraid!
I understand more fully those words.
The devil is constantly trying to break the barrier
of the presence we can have existing in
God.
It takes insight, grace to know this battle.
Satan wants to get away with tempting us in
fear.
God I put my trust in Thee.
I want to know this presence.
I want to exist in Thee.

7. Come Holy Spirit come.
Holy Spirit infuse wisdom, knowledge and un-
derstanding into my intellect.
Holy Spirit give me the gift of fortitude.
I have that connection that even if I die, suffer,
I want more of God first, the fullness of heaven
is my goal, the beatific vision.
I say: “I am Confident and Unafraid,”
I am His, I walk with Him, I have my life in
Him.
Christ showed us:
Christ emptied Himself.
Christ shed the last drop of His Blood on the
cross.

8. Christ gave the last beat of His Heart!
From the pierced Heart of Jesus flowed Blood
and water:
Blood for the Eucharist!
Water for Baptism!
“New Life”
The greatest sacrifice: Jesus, the Son of God!
The Mass: the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.
Death / Resurrection.
And the Father accepts the sacrifice (ours
united to His)

9. And gives us Jesus in Communion -
We eat His Body, we drink His Blood!
We are transformed more and more in the image
of Christ - with every communion we receive
with a fervent, holy interior disposition.
We live more fully the life of Resurrection!
Since Sunday I have felt love so deep in my
chest for God because nothing on the face of
the earth is like the Mass for me.
And I cry because I love the Eucharist and desire
the Eucharist.

10. I am confident and unafraid in Him.
God outpour Your grace to me.
Give me life, abundant life I thirst to be with
Thee.
Love is not love until you give it away.
(It’s not just me that has presence of God, God
wants this with His precious souls, we cast the
devil away, distractions that limit that confidence
in Him. We cast out fear. God is a Mighty
God, we need faith.)
Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul

		Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word 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
