Today's Readings
Daniel 7: 9-10, 13-14
While I was watching,
thrones were set in place
and one most venerable took his seat.
His robe was white as snow,
the hair of his head as pure as wool.
His throne was a blaze of flames,
its wheels were a burning fire.
A stream of fire poured out,
issuing from his presence.
A thousand thousand waited on him,
ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before him.
The court was in session
and the books lay open.I was gazing into the visions of the night,
when I saw,
coming on the clouds of heaven,
as it were a son of man.
He came to the One most venerable
and was led into his presence.
On him was conferred rule,
honour and kingship,
and all peoples, nations and languages
became his servants.
His rule is an everlasting rule
which will never pass away,
and his kingship will never come to an end.
Revelation 12: 7-12
And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven. The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been brought down. They have triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of death they did not cling to life. So let the heavens rejoice and all who live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is comingbecause the devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little time left.
Psalm 138: 1-5
I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart,
for you have listened to the cry I uttered.
In the presence of angels I sing to you,
I bow down before your holy Temple.I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy;
your promises surpass even your fame.
You heard me on the day when I called,
and you gave new strength to my heart.
All the kings of the earth give thanks to you, Yahweh,
when they hear the promises you make;
they sing of Yahweh's ways,
'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'
John 1: 47-51
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming he said of him, There, truly, is an Israelite in whom there is no deception. Nathanael asked, How do you know me? Jesus replied, Before Philip came to call you, I saw you under the fig tree. Nathanael answered, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the king of Israel. Jesus replied, You believe that just because I said: I saw you under the fig tree. You are going to see greater things than that. And then he added, In all truth I tell you, you will see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.
R. We celebrate the Feast of
Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, archangels
Angels remind us of God's Providence.
God is constantly caring for creation
God keeps us in existence
The angels remind us of the communion
of saints to remember that we
are united to the angels
and saints.
Let us remember God's constant care
Dear God help us to grow in
wisdom and knowledge
God hear our prayers
We love You so much God
Help us to do Your will and love
one another
God we surrender ourselves to Your will
The sun's rays are bright and warm
We see that the sun is so bright it hurts
our eyes if we look at it
If we could see our own graced soul
we could not believe its beauty
In our imperfect state we have
yet to grow in greater perfection
To go to heaven we must be open
Here is what Fr. Carter said in Response in
Christ about the 3 stages of
the Church
Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
e) Relationship with Members of the Church
There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Churchs existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.
The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.
The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in Gods own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completionthe absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.
This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14 And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.
The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15 The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16
The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from othersyes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.
Not only can we be aided by the saints intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.17

R. We see the heavenly Church we know
we members of the mystical body
are in the pilgrim Church
We are trying to open-up to be more
perfected like Jesus wants
We are to be team players no work
in discord and disunity
We go to the Blessed Sacrament
We are open ready to be filled by God,
with His life
We are like it says on Cycle A picture
turned toward the sun, opening to
Him
Soaking in the rays
Asking to be abundantly filled more and more
with His grace
We relax we focus on God we focus on
His plan we see through His eyes,
we are the sunflower open to the sun,
we are the coat to the cold child,
we are God's instrument in the world
as we are filled more and more with
His life
We want structure
Structure is how God works
He gives power
He is all powerful
When Eve wanted to be equal to God
she was prideful
We are to work as a team
Each person living to commit
to God
The sun is so bright it blinds
us
We cannot even comprehend God's
Might
We are left weak
When I see our Lady and get messages
I can take so much
I can take a vision for a while
with messages then I get
weak
When I had the ecstasies I felt as
if I grabbed onto a 'hot-wire'
It is hard to explain
Sometimes when Our Lady would appear
at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center I felt
as if I couldn't get up from the chair
God comes and touches us I tried to
write about the December 15, 1995
experience on December 17th and December 18th
in the Mass Book
When God gave me the prayer Prayer for Union
January 17, 1994 I got it in two
minutes If you notice in November 19, 1993
I was being taught about the Prayer for Union with Jesus
He Is A Personal God, A Real Person!
November 19, 1993
Jesus: I come with My grace to penetrate your soul. You open your heart and I enter in. My Blood washes you clean. I dwell in your heart. I am truly present there. Amen, Amen, I say to you, unless you eat this Body and drink this Blood, you shall not have life in you. You speak from Me. What flows from your mouth is the result of My presence within you. I am He Who writes these letters. You are only My servant. I use you. I give you honor because I come to you, but it is I Who do this writing. Your hand is My hand. I am using you in this work. I want all My letters published in a book-not a few. They were written as words for all to hear. With such material, many will turn their hearts to Me. I became real to you as you read My letters. I am a real person and I want to be known as I am, Son of God, loving and true. I want to be known on a personal basis to all My children. You are only being used. I am writing to My people. You cannot stop the hand of God. You are My candidates to execute this work. I want My letters out and soon. I do not want you to waste any more time. You both have nothing to do with this. You are My servants. This is My task. I want it accomplished. Many hearts will know Me in a new way from these letters.
I have spoken to Rita with all the love I have for each of My children. I am this personal with every soul. If they come to Me they will know this. They need to read and study these letters. Your job is to get them published. I want Rita to talk to her brothers. This will be accomplished in time. The proof of this is in the contents of these letters. No person could have the insight but Me alone. I am commanding you to do this work. Do not tarry.
Do not fear. I go before you and I make ready the path. You will not falter on your way. The road will open as it should. Any obstacles I will remove from your path. It will be transacted as I have planned and you will know this by the love with which it happens.
I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live in this world in the hearts of all. I want all to know how alive I truly am. I never go from My people's side. I am vigilant and always there. It is they who move from Me. I want them to be drawn closer to My Sacred Heart, closer and closer through the content of these letters. I am alive. I am here. I am your love. I want all to know this message of love. It is not up to you to question My ways. My ways I make known to you for I want to save every last soul. You will be a big part in helping Me do this with many souls. They are thirsty. They will drink. I love you both very much and appreciate your trust and faith in Me. My ways, I have made clear. Do not tarry. I work before you. I do the work. You will know it is Me because of its ease. If a door shuts, it is not the way I want to go. All doors are open doors in My plan. It is easy to follow.
I love you and I am truly Jesus, Son of the Living God. Your work I bless and I go with you on your way. I am as present here as I was on My death on the cross. You will not fear. You will be fearless and without worry. Be steadfast in delivering these messages to your brothers. It is their souls that are at stake. The world preaches so many awful messages. These are so powerful and will reach men's hearts. I am a personal God. I am a God of love. I am a person Who wants to love My people in a personal way. I will give them these messages through you.
R. He has a plan to do His work. You don't ask why. You just do as He wants. He acts through you to minister to whom He wants, maybe only one person. You don't ask if what you did was good or not because He is doing it.
I became selfless and I surrender. The more I spoon out of me, the more He possesses me and it is He Who acts in me. If I did it, it would surely flop. If He does it, it will never flop.
It is for His honor and glory that I act. It has nothing to do with self-promotion. To be persecuted or glorified focuses on self. We must become selfless. We must act and empty ourselves. Don't ever ask if it was good or bad. We didn't do it. We are His servants.
Jesus: I am in you in this. I am working in you. I am giving you wisdom and insights to deliver My messages. I want you to speak. This has nothing to do with you. I use you. I have primed you to trust in Me and not ask any questions. It is for Jesus you act. This is your main concern: you must become selfless-totally. Drop your selves. Die to your self. Be of Me.
It is not you who act, but I Who act in you. Be selfless, child. You don't understand but when you question you are not selfless in your soul. I have planted these messages. It has nothing to do with you. I use your hand and write My words. You are a servant, My Servant. You are honored by Me that I use you, but I am He Who is acting!
Be selfless and unquestioning. Be as a baby at the breast. You wait and I do all things. Wait, baby. Wait on Me. I will use you. Be open, unattached and selfless. Be totally submissive. Do not fret or fume or worry. Let go and I will do all I need to. Just be willing. I have been teaching you about My will daily. You have studied under Jesus Christ. I would think you know some things about Me. I am the teacher. You are My people. Your life I use to teach you lessons. Your trials teach you profound truths. What gems those little trials are, gems of great knowledge from Me. Every day unfolds and you are taught by Me. You are My pupil. I am your teacher. Teach your brothers how to be My pupils in their lives.
I am the teacher of all truth. My teachings are truths of the soul. I am the greatest teacher. My school is run on My love. It is always good for you. Take your tests and receive a golden reward. Graduation is into My Sacred Heart, into the kingdom of God. I love you so!
end of excerpt
R. To be lost in His embrace you must let go
to Him
We do not ponder God and want to know Him
as we should
The devil is trying so hard to keep us focused
on ourselves
To keep us bolted to the earth
The devil wants us caved in listening to
him about fear and darkness and he
tempts us to not live and love the commitment
to our vocation
Jesus says: Surrender to Me
Live as the Father wills
R. The devil says
play games
be prideful
be envious
act out old anger
be slothful
be controlling
BAD HABITS Become VICES
God says pray for faith
See through the eyes of the Heavenly Father
Pray for an increase of faith
Be loving your heart on fire and in love
R. The sun shines and we need the sun
God is with us
We exist because He unfathomablely
loves us
The sun shown brightly and it
opened to me the wisdom more
and more of God's gifts to us:
Light That we would not wallow
around in darkness, but embrace
the truth in love and give to God
what He wants not ever play a
game with God holding out on
our brothers what God has asked
us to do because of power we
seek for ourselves, false power because
we lost-out with others we think so
we struggle to get power back
by offending God and not doing
His will in working with others He
has called to serve Him in a
certain way Do we operate for our
vain glory, loss of power in our past life
so we seek power for vanity and block the
work we were called to be a part of
helping to implement
God is all powerful when we try
to control because of others with vices
in our past life, who have offended us,
we will soon see how our vain
actions, put a clinker in all the
opportunities He gave to us to help
build His Kingdom We literally can say
'no' to God and oppose His Plan
because we are trying to get power
over those doing God's will, to make
up for others who controlled us
wounded us and now we are
trying to get power back for
the wrong done to us and we can
just seek power for power sake
in doing God's work while we
tally up our wounded scales
Jesus: People who really live
Act to do God's will
They don't have a back-pack of
pain, a ball and chain from past
wounds and relationships and wait
for the opportunity doing to
others evil deeds they believe
were done to them
When a stick needs to be a certain
length to have a short stick
is to be short
When you are called from this life
having a short stick has
consequences
You were called to Build My Kingdom
Some destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem
Some helped to restore it
Building the Kingdom of God must
come first in your life
Not tearing it down because
you are bitter
I call you, the Father calls you
to do God's will
You live to love
You live to do God's will
Not be a traitor, like Judas, who
betrayed the Son of Man with
a kiss
Game playing satan tempts you
to do evil, when your Heavenly Father
has so richly blessed you.
I am all powerful
You are to operate in structure
All Power comes from God
Trying to control so you can
get back lost power
because of others wounding
you is not going to help you
You oppose God's will and
do evil when you wish
other's harm.
I am your God
You shall have no gods
before Me
Not your self-seeking power for
retaliation and vain glory
I control the universe
I love you into existence
I am the Divine Lover
It is My will you obey Me
Pray that all peoples of the earth
know
I am your Savior and
You need Me Jesus, the Son of God.
I am all Powerful
All Power comes from Me
You need My Might
When you enjoy lording it over others
you set yourself up for suffering
for blocking My work
Heaven is forever
Love is constant
A covenant
A commitment made
Love does not depend on how you feel,
satan's counsel
what others have done to you
You live, first, to serve the Kingdom
of God
You don't tear down a wall because
you are mad
Commitment is based on what God
wants not your trying to win
for your power and control.
Because of people who betrayed
you you can play power
seeking games your whole life
depending how you lose your
power that day and you
suffer and sin
You are commanded to put God first
Not your power seeking games
You serve satan
Not God
If this is how you act you are
not working for Me you work
against Me
The person serving God wants
God's will
He acts in love according to
God's will
Not to raise himself above others
for vain glory
Your whole life can be based on
you controlling others
opposing structure and opposing God's will
Shepherds of Christ Priestly Newsletter - 2000 - Issue 3
The Father's Will For Us - Our Source Of Peace
- Pope John Paul II instructs us: "The Church, as a reconciled and reconciling community, cannot forget that at the source of her gift and mission of reconciliation is the initiative, full of compassionate love and mercy, of that God who is love (see 1 John 4:8) and who out of love created human beings (see Wisdom 11:23-26; Genesis 1:27: Psalms 8:4-8) He created them so that they might live in friendship with Him and in communion with one another.
"God is faithful to His eternal plan even when man, under the impulse of the evil one (see Wisdom 2:24) and carried away by his own pride, abuses the freedom given to him in order to love and generously seek what is good, and (instead) refuses to obey his Lord and Father. God is faithful even when man, instead of responding with love to Gods love, opposes Him and treats Him like a rival, deluding himself and relying on his own power, with the resulting break of relationship with the One who created him. In spite of this transgression on mans part, God remains faithful in love.
"It is certainly true that the story of the Garden of Eden makes us think about the tragic consequences of rejecting the Father, which becomes evident in mans inner disorder and in the breakdown of harmony between man and woman, brother and brother (see Genesis 3:12 ff; 4:1-16). Also significant is the Gospel parable of the two brothers (the parable of the prodigal son; see Luke 15:11-32) who, in different ways, distance themselves from their father and cause a rift between them. Refusal of Gods fatherly love and of His loving gifts is always at the root of humanitys divisions.
"But we know that God like the father in the parable (of the prodigal son), does not close His heart to any of His children. He waits for them, looks for them, goes to meet them at the place where the refusal of communion imprisons them in isolation and division. He calls them to gather about His table in the joy of the feast of forgiveness and reconciliation.
"This initiative on Gods part is made concrete and manifest in the redemptive act of Christ, which radiates through the world by means of the ministry of the Church." 13
13. Pope John Paul II, as in Celebrate 2000!, Servant Publications, pp. 140-141.

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

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
