Isaiah 12: 2-6

Look, he is the God of my salvation:
I shall have faith and not be afraid,
for Yahweh is my strength and my song,
he has been my salvation.’

Joyfully you will draw water
from the springs of salvation
and, that day, you will say,
‘Praise Yahweh, invoke his name.
Proclaim his deeds to the people,
declare his name sublime.
Sing of Yahweh,
   for his works are majestic,
make them known throughout the world.
Cry and shout for joy,
   you who live in Zion,
For the Holy One of Israel
    is among you in his greatness.’

                R. Is not Mary so fair –

                Mary, the Mother of God.

                We meditate on all God has created
                    and its beauty
                    and its depth
                    and its precision.

                Would not we meditate on how beautiful
                    God would create Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

                Then meditate on love –

                The Love God the Father has for us to send His only Begotten
                    Son into the world to pay for our sins –

                And how God wants us to identify with
                    Jesus, the Son of God, to help make reparation
                    for man's sins.

                Jesus: See Me clothed in robes of Glorious Splendor –
                    See the Might of God –
                    See the beauty of this Universe given to you –
                    See Love as the Father intends –

                R. Love of the Creatures created by God
                    for a purpose – to love
                    for a purpose – to give honor and glory to God.
                    for a purpose – to be as the Father intended
                        us to be –

                Oh can you not see how beautiful God the Father
                    created the Mother of God –
 

                R. Rejoice, Oh Heavenly Powers
                Rejoice, that God so loved the world to
                    send Jesus.
                Rejoice, Oh Beauteous Earth to know
                    Mary, the pure and spotless one.
                Rejoice, Oh heaven and earth for God
                    has blessed you this day –

                Do not scorn Our God with your disdain,
                    with your ingratitude and
                    injustice –

                Oh men of Mary – live as sons of your
                    Heavenly Mother – not giving into
                    the impurities of your parents
                    who taught you some impure
                    ways –

                Seek first the Kingdom of God and all else
                    will fall into line for you –

                Seek wholeness and truth,
                Seek purity my little ones
                Seek purity as your Mother Mary,
                Seek wholeness, more and more to be
                    in the image of God
                Seek and you shall find –
                Knock and it will be opened to you –

                For to seek an earthly reward
                    over a heavenly reward
                    is but a fool.

                God has bestowed on you the
                    gift of reason, use it
                    wisely, which means you
                    seek the plan of God –

                Do not give into your selfish
                    prodding and plotting for
                    your own will –
                    the will of a man and oppose
                    the Father's will, the Creator,
                    the Almighty –

Isaiah 9: 1-3, 5-6

The people that walked in darkness 
    have seen a great light; 
on the inhabitants of a country 
    in shadow dark as death 
        light has blazed forth. 
You have enlarged the nation, 
    you have increased its joy; 
they rejoice before you 
    as people rejoice at harvest time, 
as they exult 
    when they are dividing the spoils. 

For the yoke that weighed on it, 
    the bar across its shoulders, 
the rod of its oppressor, 
these you have broken 
    as on the day of Midian. 

For a son has been born for us, 
a son has been given to us, 
and dominion has been laid 
    on his shoulders; 
and this is the name he has been given, 
‘Wonder–Counsellor, Mighty–God, 
Eternal–Father, Prince–of–Peace’ 
to extend his dominion 
    in boundless peace, 
over the throne of David 
    and over his kingdom 
to make it secure and sustain it 
in fair judgement and integrity. 
From this time onwards and for ever, 
the jealous love of Yahweh Sabaoth 
    will do this.
 

                Jesus: Yes, Rejoice oh Jerusalem –
                    I give you My love and
                    My all and you come
                    to Me robed in ingratitude
                    and it is sufferings I endured
                    on the cross for your
                    ingratitude and selfishness –

                Lift up your hearts Jerusalem,
                    your time is come

                Let not yourself be sold into slavery –

                I give you freedom –
                    it is living in the Father's will –

                Let the Spirit enfold you and
                    fill your heart with
                    fire –

                Praise God to be His servant –
                    What an honor –

                R. Virgin, Mary, Mother of God
                    how I love you –
                    I love you Immaculate Heart –
                    I love the womb that carried
                        Jesus, My Savior –

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                Put on Christ in all you do –
                    be holy and know you
                    are loved by God –
                    be compassionate and heartfelt,
                    be kind and humble,
                    gentle and patient.

                Jesus: Walk in the truth do not
                    cloud your own heart –

                    having hearts of gratitude –
                    Sing songs of praise to God –

                Whatever you do – put on love!

                Commit your hearts to your vocation
                    because your Heavenly Father
                    desires this – He desires
                    your heartfelt love –

                Be instruments of harmony and truth,
                    peace and love –

                This is My delight that your
                    path be the one God has
                    called you to –
                    today – do not delay at
                    all to My calling of you.

                Mary obeyed the will of God
                Mary loved the will of God

                Oh sing Alleluia, My chosen ones
                Oh sing Alleluia for your friends –
                Show them a heart of rejoicing –

                Give glory to God –
                Glory is God's due – do it –
                Give glory to God –

                Love God with your whole
                    heart, your whole soul
                    and your whole being.

                Rejoice, Oh Israel

                Live in beauty –

                Be fruit for the Kingdom of God –

                Let stubbornness be far from you!

Psalm 19: 8-9

Matthew 12: 46-50

The true kinsfolk of Jesus

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, ‘Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?’ And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’

                R. Oh God I love You –
                You are my strength –
                I called You Lord and
                    You answered me –
   

                R. God is the joy of my soul –
                    I rejoice in the Lord
   

                Jesus: Priests will create little cities
                of My love. Fr. Joe has sent homilies
                now for 7 years, etched in
                selflessness and love –
                teaching men to have hearts
                of light and be men likened
                to Jesus.

                    These homilies teach men
                and parishioners to be pure
                and loving –

                    Rejoice, oh Jerusalem,
                your time has come – take
                your heart from the bank vaults
                and give your love to others
                before your days are all gone –
                why save your heart for a
                tomorrow that is not going
                to be –

                    Now is the time –

                    Living in the moment

                Jesus: Become unfrozen –

                Let the light into the
                    bank vault –

                    When a person goes to Clearwater
                they must open up and let God
                be in charge –

                    A man can always try to
                implement his plan – soon
                nobody is around when it
                shows no light, no love
                and is for his own honor and
                glory –

                    Open your hearts, America,
                open your pockets, give to
                a cause of spreading love
                in men's hearts –

                    Why do you close your hearts
                and save them for the days when
                you are gone –

                    Like cold cash, unspent
                in a dark safe – when you
                were called by Me to teach
                love and generosity to the
                children – teach purity of
                heart, bring a light into
                your family and a light
                to the world –

                Open your hearts America –

                Get them out of the midnight
                    vault –

                Live in the love I teach you
                    about in My Blue Books –

                My love pays dividends that
                    pay forever –

                Invest in forever love –

                A forever plan –

                A plan of God the Father –

                R. God is love and in Him there is
                    no darkness –

                Jesus says:

                    I am the Light of the World
                    I am the Light of the World
                    I am the Light of the World

                I came to spread the light and
                    you locked up your heart –
                    Yes, I am talking to you –

                I am love –
                I am light
                I am God, the Holy One –

                Open up your vaults and
                    let the Light of Christ
                    shine –
                    so others can see your
                    example –

                Are you a child of the light
                    before men?

                Are you focused on God's Plan
                    or your own plan?

                I am the way, the truth and the life –

                Open your hearts
   

Song of Songs 2: 4-15

He has taken me to his cellar,
and his banner over me is love.
Fed me with raisin cakes,
restore me with apples,
for I am sick with love.

His left arm is under my head,
his right embraces me.

– I charge you,
daughters of Jerusalem,
by all gazelles and wild does,
do not rouse, do not wake my beloved
before she pleases.

I hear my love. 
See how he comes 
leaping on the mountains, 
bounding over the hills. 
My love is like a gazelle, 
like a young stag. 

See where he stands 
behind our wall. 
He looks in at the window, 
he peers through the opening. 

My love lifts up his voice, 
he says to me, 
‘Come then, my beloved, 
my lovely one, come.
For see, winter is past,
the rains are over and gone.

‘Flowers are appearing on the earth.
The season of glad songs has come,
the cooing of the turtledove is heard in our land.
The fig tree is forming its first figs 
and the blossoming vines give out their fragrance. 
Come then, my beloved, 
my lovely one, come.

‘My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock,
in the coverts of the cliff,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet
and your face is lovely.’
Catch the foxes for us,
the little foxes
that make havoc of the vineyards,
for our vineyards are in fruit.

                Jesus: Mary is your Heavenly Mother,
                    how beautiful she is.

Hail Mary

Zephaniah 3: 14-20

Shout for joy, daughter of Zion, 
Israel, shout aloud! 
Rejoice, exult with all your heart, 
daughter of Jerusalem! 
Yahweh has repealed your sentence; 
he has turned your enemy away. 
Yahweh is king among you, Israel, 
you have nothing more to fear. 

When that Day comes, 
    the message for Jerusalem will be: 
Zion, have no fear, 
do not let your hands fall limp. 

Yahweh your God is there with you,
the warrior–Saviour. 
He will rejoice over you with happy song, 
he will renew you by his love, 
he will dance with shouts of joy for you, 
as on a day of festival.

Return of the exiles

I have taken away your misfortune,
no longer need you bear
    the disgrace of it.
I am taking action here and now
against your oppressors.
When that time comes
    I will rescue the lame,
and gather the strays,
and I will win them praise and renown
when I restore their fortunes.

At that time I shall be your guide,
at the time when I gather you in,
I shall give you praise and renown
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes
    under your own eyes,
declares Yahweh.

                Jesus: Do not be proud and haughty
                    for the day is at hand –
                    when you will see
                    your reckoning –

                Have you been at peace,
                    like a child at the
                    breast – holding
                    on to their mother and
                    being so assured of
                    God's presence, living
                    in faith and hoping
                    for the Kingdom of Love –

                R. Jesus suffered for our sins –

                Jesus gave His all to His
                    death on the cross –
     

Psalm 72: 1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17

God, endow the king with your own fair judgement,
  the son of the king with your own saving justice,
that he may rule your people with justice,
  and your poor with fair judgement.

In his days uprightness shall flourish,
  and peace in plenty till the moon is no more.
His empire shall stretch from sea to sea,
  from the river to the limits of the earth.

For he rescues the needy who calls to him,
  and the poor who has no one to help.
He has pity on the weak and the needy,
  and saves the needy from death.

May his name be blessed for ever,
    and endure in the sight of the sun.
In him shall be blessed every race in the world,
    and all nations call him blessed.

                R. The man of right brings
                    a light to all the people –

                The man of disdain
                    brings sufferings
                    upon the men on earth –

                For who is a man, that he
                    sees not what God
                    has called him to –
                    to be an example before
                        men – like Christ –
                        a man of love –
                        a man of sacrifice –

Romans 5: 12, 17-19

                Jesus: Be sincere when you love –

                Do not hold onto evil and
                    store it in your heart –
                    like a locked vault –

                Hold onto what is good –

                Be kind and loving toward
                    your neighbors –

                Rejoice in the Lord –

                Do not be haughty and prideful,
                    stiff and with a heart of
                    disdain –

                R. God show me the path of life –

                Sing: The Path of Life

                Jesus: Be grateful, for your blessings
                    are many!

                Sing: Remember Your Love

                Jesus: Be vigilant you know
                    not the day nor the
                    hour –

                Pray to the Holy Spirit to fill
                    you with love –

                Pray to the Holy Spirit to do the
                    Father's will

                R. Dear Mother of Unity help
                    us to show Unity
                    before all –
   

Revelation 12: 1-2

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

John 21: 1-5

Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples. It was by the Sea of Tiberias, and it happened like this: Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee and two more of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said, ‘I’m going fishing.’ They replied, ‘We’ll come with you.’ They went out and got into the boat but caught nothing that night.

When it was already light, there stood Jesus on the shore, though the disciples did not realise that it was Jesus. Jesus called out, ‘Haven’t you caught anything, friends?’ And when they answered, ‘No,’
