From Today's First Reading at mass
Proverbs 30: 5-9
Every word of God is unalloyed,
a shield to those who take refuge in him.
To his words make no addition,
lest he reprove you and
account you a liar.Two things I beg of you,
do not grudge me them before I die:
keep falsehood and lies far from me,
give me neither poverty nor riches,
grant me only my share of food,
for fear that, surrounded by plenty, I should fall away
and say, ‘Yahweh—who is Yahweh?’
or else, in destitution, take to stealing
and profane the name of my God.
Today's Psalm
Psalm 119: 29, 72, 89, 101, 104, 163
Keep me far from the way of deceit,
grant me the grace of your Law.The Law you have uttered is more precious to me
than all the wealth in the world.For ever, Yahweh, your word
is planted firm in heavenI restrain my foot from evil paths
to keep your word.From your precepts I learn wisdom,
so I hate all deceptive ways.
Falsehood I hate and detest,
my love is for your Law.
Today's Gospel
Luke 9: 1-6
He called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. He said to them, Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; and do not have a spare tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there; and when you leave let your departure be from there. As for those who do not welcome you, when you leave their town shake the dust from your feet as evidence against them. So they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.

Messenger: Division, Anger, Argumentation and LIGHT, LOVE AND JOY
Joy is in the Savior
With regard to communication
in a dialogue with a person or persons,
not rooted in the truth, they can project
untruths on the other, it can be a dialogue
with the evil inside when untruths
are projected on the other, evil accusations
hatred etc.
The heart of Christ is pure and gentle,
rooted
in the truth.
When one argues and is rooted
in an evil heart, the tongue is
cunning, twisting words and not
speaking the truth.
A person in gentle nature may stoop
to try to make resolve when that
is impossible for one who is
attacking and wanting conflict.
A person can use other means
coming from an evil heart,
projecting
disharmony into the situation,
argumentation,
not peace. They want conflict for the
sake of dialogue — they want to
catch another into a trap — like a
web —
Nothing will be resolved — the mode
is attack and the other, if a peaceable
person, can be greatly disturbed by
the conflict, but unable to resolve
the issue for the attacking person
wants this anger directed at the
other.
Neither of these modes of communication
comes from love — they come from
seeds of anger and evil wanting
disharmony and can be caused by
some mood altering substances.
The age old battle exists for
dominance directed at the other —
dominance for power lost in another
situation —
If one is in the house with lots
of flu they may see how "catching
germs" can infect another. Babies
with colds can spread infection.
For one who has an angry heart
it is much like infection — they attack
because of what is inside of them —
they can be argumentative, hateful,
seeking dominance or all three —
A person with a pure heart does not
wish to be attacked by anger
and untruths rooted in an impure
heart, but it is like an attack staged
at the other. To open any door the
hungry angry dogs will come out
of the basement. Substance abuse
can be a source for greater attacks,
lack of peace about ones
life situation, ones direction for
the future, physical ailments
etc.
Irritability and confrontation
may come because of conditions
of the body, hunger, fatigue, etc.,
but for a person to be in an attack
mode, they do not need a conflict to
stage the attack — a cup cake on the
table can be their pot of explosives if
they wish to use it.
Lets look at the heart — a heart
rooted in truth, saturated with
God's grace, deeply seeking peace and
love — does not like argumentation
or conflict, some dialogue is
necessary to move a person into
a meeting of minds, some dialogue
almost seems impossible if the
parties are being blocked in understanding
by satan's attempts to cause confusion —
Seeking resolve to a situation when
the parties are being attacked with
confusion is different than conflict —
with attack coming from a heart
filled with anger and hatred and based
on untruths.
I seeked the truth at all costs —
I found my answer in Jesus Christ —
I stooped to empty myself of hatred
and any anger — like a child washing
away dirty spots on their skin after
a hard day of play —
I stooped to look deep within
seeking to know pressure points
within myself that could cause any
quick reaction or be used to distort
any situation because of previous
pains and anger in past relationships —
even hidden in childhood —
I found in myself the desire to be
holy and pure and the necessity of prayer
constant pray (not day long, as much as
constant meaning, a constant purpose,
unwavering of being a person of peace,
one of truth, one of love).
Purity is sought after by one seeking
holiness. A person seeking holiness wants
to know the truth for greater oneness,
they open their heart to find wounds
and seeking healing to find peace and
a heart most likened to Christ.
Filling oneself intentionally with
things on television, movies, etc.
against God's commands is like
rolling around in a dirty mud
puddle, you will get real dark
on your skin from doing that —
mud caked.
Purity is sought after —
is a process —
is why we have a life time to
seek to
want to
follow to
open to the old wounds
and let the waters flush out
the poison.
Praying to the Holy Spirit —
Going to the Eucharist —
Loving the Father deeply as His little
child can.
be a medicine for wounds deep
within —
If when one is squeezed hatred comes
out — it can show darkness
with in.
A person always seeking dominance
can argue continually —
if they lose power in one situation —
they can seek it in another situation —
Constant prayer — that is seeking to
do God's will all day in love
can be a "rear guard" to
passive-aggressive attacks,
but some want to provoke
until they get to the just
man —
it comes from anger inside and
a desire for dominance —
Satan is the father of lies —
arguing with someone not rooted
in the truth is like talking to a
moving pole —
They want to catch you in a trap
and dominate the situation —
another can be like one dancing
around a trap door —
with patience they go from side
to side avoiding the hole —
first left, then right — then
upper, then behind —
If satan is attempting to trip a just
man — he will continue to stage
the attack — provoking the
just man in passive-aggressive
ways — seeking to — in the end
watch the other wither from
constant attack and go in their
trap door —
proving another is not being as God
wants us — trying to provoke
another
constantly to be dominant in
passive-aggressive ways is never
hidden
from God —
provoking passively through
little
mean ways of attack —
continually to try the
patience of others and
watch them scream in the
end from the duress —
then the passive-aggressive attacker
walks away — shaking their hands
saying —
Oh look at how they lost control —
when in effect they were
provoked continually by the
other, who never let up —
creating tension and discord —
The best way to live is in
imitation of the Two Hearts —
even in suffering —
to pray for grace to withstand
surprise attacks —
to be smooth and vigilant to
know when
one may be attacked and not
give in.
Satan can attack through an angry
heart seeking dominance —
Satan can attack through another —
trying to try the just man's
patience —
Satan can try to make confusion
by blocking understanding
between two good-willed
persons.
Saying "I give my heart to Jesus and
Mary
with you in love."
can help to have oneness in one
mind and one heart in these
situations of confusion.
The more the parties are deeply
rooted
in love — the more they are
able to move ahead in peace —
even after some conflict.
The ideal is harmony —
seeking the truth of Jesus
Christ —
peace and love —
Living lives of deep consecration
to the Sacred Heart and
Immaculate Heart will
lead to a deeper life of love —
a heart of light —
one seeking the truth —
because of men and women differences
confusion can arise —
love and dialogue can help to
alleviate problems
prayer
praying together as one
going to the sacraments
especially the Eucharist —
I was tested, and my heart was at
peace, my love not wearing —
the birds chirped and I said
how can my heart be troubled —
I who am so richly blessed
and I looked at the face of
Jesus
hanging on the cross and I
knew how he suffered —
all the way to the bitter end —
but He is the Light of the World
—
suffering can never be made
synonymous with sin —
A just man can suffer
greatly
doing right.
In the death — there is the resurrection
I sought the light and I was
asked
to suffer, tested and tried
and
in the suffering greater
truths were revealed to me —
I learned to love more
deeply —
to pray for the wounded part
and
thus to be as a healing balm
for the troubled earth —
Love seeks a way —
Love — Loves in conflict —
Love is patient and kind even in
adversity.
Love is never controlled by evil —
In the end love is always love —
His Heart was consumed with
love —
so much Jesus mounted the
cross and died for sinful
men —
so they would have life
in Him.
Seek first the Kingdom of God —
you feeble ones and
all else will fall into line
—
There was an army of soldiers
and
they could not form a line
and
finally after the medicine
of
His grace —
the soldiers in His army —
marched in one accord in
the most perfect line
they followed a priest
carrying
the monstrance —
Jesus is here — truly
present and
with us.
They conquered the devil
with
the Blood of the Lamb
and
the word of their
testimony —
Hearts — rooted in the truth
—
march in the army of
Jesus —
led by a priest —
showing Christ's love!!
Filled with light they march
into the darkness and
God's
power overshadows the
darkness.
Jesus is the way, the truth
and the life —
Jesus is the Light of the
World —
Intensity on our part to do
God's
will —
Jesus came the Son of
God —
He did the Father's
will —
He teaches us to be sons
of God —
to be soldiers of
light
in His army.
Pure hearts can be found in
consecration
to the 2 Hearts of pure
love.
He hung on the hill of
Calvary dripping with Blood
—
He shed His Blood for
sinful man —
He shed His Blood for me!!
Jesus is the Light of the world —
Consumed with love He died
for us.
Given September 26, 2006
Messenger:
It seems an arduous task to be here or there, when my soul is longing for bringing there to here, and I am faced with the reality that what is here is here, by the choice of those here, to continue to walk blindfully, when in fact the veil could be removed, if many would listen to the words I speak.
For the state the world is in, is not in many ways pleasing to God and yet it remains for us to be as one crying in the desert make ready a way for a day of greater peace and love and joy in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and there will be a certain era of peace.
I go from my bed as I feel I am summoned and even as I sleep, I see the message written on a keyboard when for 15 years I have written on paper with my pen.
I slept about this writing and to many it may not seem much, but my soul beckons me to write for I long for the resting place of light I find in God.
The nights are star studded even though the sky is black and the darkness having an intensity so dark that light seems brilliantly startling against the black sky.Cry out Jerusalem for the blood you shed makes for nothing, if its intentions are not for a greater good.
The good are persecuted and the ones not following the way of God honored many times and the angels cry from heaven saying - "oh let you ears hear our soft wing hovering about you children of the earth to sing a lullaby for your aching soul."
But little ones you play a music of ruckus and cry day long for more and more and you do not see how you are so richly blessed.
I heard the roaring of the ocean in my heart - loud and constant and it reminds me how Mighty indeed is Our God.
Like a soft lullaby I know its call to rest my mind even in the troubled world and to gaze in my heart upon its beauty and think of the Trinity and the oneness God tells us about in this magnificent mystery.Oneness is the word I see against a black sky.
It is written in the stars and they light the way.
I know my God tells me of the importance of devotions to the Magnificent Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary.
And I see the exposed Eucharist as it is in China, Indiana with such intensity I can barely take it in- that the Son of God remains with us truly present in the consecrated host.I see the pillar against the dark night of the Church sailing on the ocean and the pillars of Don Bosco's vision of Jesus (the Eucharistic) and of Mary, Immaculately conceived.
I see the pope. In one moment where we are being honored, in the next may come a trashing for innocently speaking.
I see that those that raise up and cause a ruckus can do so because of anger in their own hearts, projecting hatred on other.I know that the authority of the Church, the country will be attached and I stand in awe -for I see that structure is the plan of God.
We can not judge what is right by what is happening here in the minds of men.
I look to when they condemned Christ -they surrounded Him, a mob of men, and they condemned the Son of God to death.
Oh death of the body -many martyrs died for what they believed and they went to heaven.
This is all I write for now, but the message of God's love cries out from my soul in these days of blood shed and disharmony and I want to write the message of harmony and love, forgiveness and hope on the hearts of men -to shout about the gift of the priest and the gift of our Blessed Church and open to men crying in pain the doors to peace love and joy.
God beckons me to write and to pray- for His Might can help the world in these troubled times and our deep love for God can help to bring down greater gifts from Him and mercy.God wants us to have a relationship with Him.
One, not far off, a oneness where it is as St. Paul says "I have been crucified with Christ and yet it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me."Who are we after all the ways we have offended Our God that He wants us to be so close to Him and remains with us truly present in the Eucharist.
The world need to turn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus- to make Him the King and center of their hearts and the King and center of their lives.
The kingdom of Christ knows no bounds.
though they beat Him and crowned Him with thorns- He reigns
Against a dark night the forces of evil have no match against God.They hung Him on a tree against the dark sky- the clouds hung low -the rains came and in the night-the sounds of victory- of the resurrection soon behind.
Into the belly of the earth they planted one, Son of God, God-made-man, and the Church was born from His pieced Heart- Blood and water coming from His pieced side-
Water for baptism and blood for the Eucharist-Christ's Heart formed from the womb of Mary-
Let us imitate the two Hearts of love
The new Adam and the new Eve.I hear the roar of thunder and see a sky streaked with lightning-
in that moment the sky is lighted and I see in a darkened night -house tops-telephone poles and trees
Then like an instant dark again.My heart knows the light streaks He has painted in my soul to glimpses into the hidden mysteries-my joy and my delight.
Joy-joy-joy for the Savior is the joy of fallen man- is He not?
Oh burning Heart, Oh love Divine how sweet You are to me- I see the host I know Your there to love and care for me.
Song "I love You Jesus"
In the hustle and bustle of the cars that race by it seems almost to knock you over and blare their horn
I look at the sunlit day and God tells us
"I cover the earth with a blanket for sleeping, but every day the light steals across the darkened sky and shines for your delight"Wake my children from your sleep
Your Savior is born to you today-
open you eyes to the morning"And as long as I have breath in my body and can speak - I speak of the Lord who is the one the hungry children thirst for-
Let no words or no discourse ever come from my lips, but one praising God for the gifts He gives to the poor banished children of Eve.
Gifts from the Savior who died to Save us- who took on flesh because of His love for us and died and rose that we could share in His life-
I am not afraid, I am empowered by my God- to shout from the highest mountain
LOOK TO THE HEAVENS AND COUNT THE STARS IF YOU CAN
GOD LIVES IN THIS WORLD-
MAKE READY A DAY WHEN THE HEARTS OF MEN WILL SAY
'HOSANNA TO OUR KING AND SAVIOR-LOOK TO HIS MAGNIFICENT SACRED HEART. ALLELUIA! AMEN.
