 Prayer for Grace for our Country

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.

R. Love God first.

Love our neighbor as ourselves.
You cannot love anything more than Jesus.

You are to be like Jesus.

Following Jesus involves a constant commitment all day.

It’s not a picnic.

The rewards are out of this world.

We have to pick up our daily crosses.

Jesus: I give you breath to live. I want you to serve Me.

I want you to spread love. Relax, be lost in My love.

Mary: I am Mary.

I love you so very much.



Mary: I am the Immaculate Heart.

My Spouse the Holy Spirit wants to fill you with love. 

God loves you so much.

Believe this.

Love God with all your heart.

Spread these messages.

Spread the Consecration to Our Two Hearts.

Wisdom 9: 13-18

'What human being indeed can know the intentions of God?
And who can comprehend the will of the Lord?
For the reasoning of mortals is inadequate,
our attitudes of mind unstable;
for a perishable body presses down the soul,
and this tent of clay weighs down the mind with its many cares. 
It is hard enough for us to work out what is on earth,
laborious to know what lies within our reach;
who, then, can discover what is in the heavens?
And who could ever have known your will, had you not given Wisdom
and sent your holy Spirit from above?
Thus have the paths of those on earth been straightened
and people have been taught what pleases you,
and have been saved, by Wisdom.'

   

Psalm 90: 3-6, 12-14, 17

You bring human beings to the dust, 
by saying, ‘Return, children of Adam.’ 
A thousand years are to you 
like a yesterday which has passed, 
like a watch of the night. 

You flood them with sleep
—in the morning they will be like growing grass: 
in the morning it is blossoming and growing, 
by evening it is withered and dry.

Teach us to count up the days that are ours, 
and we shall come to the heart of wisdom. 
Come back, Yahweh! How long must we wait? 
Take pity on your servants. 

Each morning fill us with your faithful love, 
we shall sing and be happy all our days;

May the sweetness of the Lord be upon us, 
to confirm the work we have done!

 

Philemon 1: 9-10, 12-17

I am rather appealing to your love, being what I am, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus. I am appealing to you for a child of mine, whose father I became while wearing these chains: I mean Onesimus. I am sending him back to you -- that is to say, sending you my own heart. I should have liked to keep him with me; he could have been a substitute for you, to help me while I am in the chains that the gospel has brought me. I should have liked to keep him with me; he could have been a substitute for you, to help me while I am in the chains that the gospel has brought me. I should have liked to keep him with me; he could have been a substitute for you, to help me while I am in the chains that the gospel has brought me. However, I did not want to do anything without your consent; it would have been forcing your act of kindness, which should be spontaneous. I suppose you have been deprived of Onesimus for a time, merely so that you could have him back for ever, no longer as a slave, but something much better than a slave, a dear brother; especially dear to me, but how much more to you, both on the natural plane and in the Lord. So if you grant me any fellowship with yourself, welcome him as you would me;

 

Luke 14: 25-33

Renouncing all that one holds dear

Great crowds accompanied him on his way and he turned and spoke to them. 'Anyone who comes to me without hating father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes and his own life too, cannot be my disciple. No one who does not carry his cross and come after me can be my disciple.

Renouncing possessions

'And indeed, which of you here, intending to build a tower, would not first sit down and work out the cost to see if he had enough to complete it? Otherwise, if he laid the foundation and then found himself unable to finish the work, anyone who saw it would start making fun of him and saying, "Here is someone who started to build and was unable to finish." Or again, what king marching to war against another king would not first sit down and consider whether with ten thousand men he could stand up to the other who was advancing against him with twenty thousand? If not, then while the other king was still a long way off, he would send envoys to sue for peace. So in the same way, none of you can be my disciple without giving up all that he owns.

 

23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time

September 3, 2016

INTRODUCTION – (Philemon: 9-10,12-17) We will not understand today’s second reading without some background. The event is only about two people: the Apostle Paul in prison for his faith in Christ and Onesimus, a runaway slave. A third person is mentioned, Philemon, the slave owner. Paul is writing to Philemon informing him that Onesimus is with Paul. He is writing in an attempt to reconcile Onesimus with Philemon. By law, Philemon could have his runaway slave killed for escaping. Slavery in those days was not like the slavery in our Country two or three hundred years ago. Slaves came from nations and peoples that Rome had conquered. Most slaves were probably white; many would have been educated and would have been skilled as musicians, scribes, craftsmen, teachers and even doctors. In Paul’s day, prison was just a temporary arrangement until a Roman magistrate decided the prisoner would be executed, sent into exile, have their property confiscated, or be set free. Prisoners needed friends or family to provide for their basic needs and, apparently, Onesimus did that for Paul. Paul is on good terms with Philemon as he was one of his first converts to Christ. While in prison, Paul also converted Onesimus (that’s why he calls him “my son”). See how subtly Paul asks Philemon to receive Onesimus as a brother. Even though faith in Christ had not hit slavery head on, today’s reading shows in a small way what power it has to change lives, to change society, and to change the world.

HOMILY – (Luke 14, 25-33) Today Mother Teresa is being canonized a saint. Canonization is an infallible declaration that a certain individual is a model of sanctity; an individual who has given us a concrete example of how to be a Christian. It is a declaration that this person is enjoying God’s glory in heaven and is worthy of our honor and veneration. Notice I said veneration and did not say adoration, which is directed only to God. Since the holiness of the saint was the gift of God’s grace, to venerate a saint is always to praise and glorify God. (Theological Dictionary, Karl Rahner and Herbert Vorgrimler, pg 481) Mother Teresa is not being made a saint today, she already is a saint. The Church is officially declaring her worthy of our honor. The Church also declares that she is a person whom we can pray to as someone close to God who can intercede for us in our times of need.

    Mother Teresa started hearing God’s call to a religious life at 12 years of age and at 18 she joined the Loreto Sisters in Dublin, Ireland. Within a few months of joining the Sisters, she found herself on a boat going to India where she would spend the remaining 70 years of her life doing what the movie and the biography of her life referred to as a beautiful thing for God. Mother Teresa started off as a teacher. The Loreto Sisters tried to tackle the problem of poverty through education, but there was an abundance of suffering in Calcutta beyond the reach of the classroom. “It is not possible to find worse poverty” she wrote. She often exhausted herself and had many bouts with poor health. In her mid-thirties, she experienced what she described as a “call within a call.” She had the very rare experience of hearing God’s voice calling her to leave the Sisters of Loreto and begin working with the poor. It was a difficult challenge to leave the convent where she had been very happy. She would be exposing herself to much suffering and ridicule, but God’s voice was so clear as he asked: “would you refuse to do this for me?” Her request to leave her religious order had to go all the way to Pope Pius XII before it was granted, but it was. Now, experiencing great peace and joy from God, she was on her own. She prepared herself for her work by getting some medical training and living with the Little Sisters of the Poor. She eventually moved to a small house in town and, amazingly, she began to attract people interested in helping her. She also experienced some of her neighbors trying to chase her out of the neighborhood. The leader of one group of young Hindus was determined to chase her out of the area, but when he saw the care and love she gave to the poor and the dying, he went back to his gang and said he would get rid of her only on one condition: that they persuade their mothers and sisters to undertake the same service.

    The next 50 years of her life was made up of nonstop activity and compassionate service to the poor - an endless procession of opening up new hospices, traveling around the world to meet with the members of an ever-expanding order, and helping found an order of brothers, and of priests, and then lay coworkers.

    Malcolm Muggeridge produced a film about her in 1969. He was not a believer, but inspired by Mother Teresa, he eventually entered the Church. Ten years later she was given the Nobel Peace Prize. I mentioned earlier that she was filled with peace and joy – but there was a period of several years when she suffered a kind of spiritual darkness. Many saints go through lengthy periods of spiritual dryness. It is during those times that a person’s faith grows deeper. Considering the kind of work Mother Teresa was doing, it’s no wonder she was not experiencing a lot of peace and joy. Many years ago, I remember my supervisor at Longview Hospital telling me: “I listen to depressed people all day and when I go home in the evening, I am depressed.” Mother Teresa went through a lot more depressing experiences than almost anyone could imagine, yet she continued her service to the poorest of the poor. One special help she had was she and her followers spent long hours in prayer every day. I have a recollection that it was somewhere between one and three hours a day. Today there are more than 5,000 Missionaries of Charity sisters in 758 communities (plus 450 or so men) living, working, and praying in 139 countries.

    I would like to conclude with three of my favorite quotes from Mother Teresa. The first two came from a meeting she had with a Jewish journalist who was a bit uncomfortable being Jewish as he was having lunch with this holy Catholic Celebrity:

    1) They were in Philadelphia when she said: there are thousands of people in Philadelphia who are forgotten, unwanted. Hungry for love. We pass them by. Love them. Loneliness is the greatest poverty.”

    2) When the topic of his Jewishness came up she said: “that’s wonderful. The founder of our faith was also a Jew.”

    3) And my favorite: “God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful.” Amen.

 

 
Mary: I am Mary

Your Mother!!

I love you so much.

Sing: Come to me Lord and possess my soul.

Mary: I am your Mother Mary.

 
 

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.  end of Mary's Message

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

 
R. Childlike faith.

Seeing ourselves under the gaze of the Father.

Come to me Lord and possess my soul.

Life is in God.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of unity and love.

We are united.
We are children of the Heavenly Father.

We have a Father who loves us dearly dwelling in our graced baptized soul.

God is love and in Him is no darkness.

I sent my love to you
Jesus says.

Jesus: I love you so much My precious Shepherds.

I bring you love.

I give you greater grace - life in Me.

Come to me Lord and possess my soul.

Only one thing is important. Eternal salvation.

R. Sin takes us from eternal salvation.

Jesus: Unity and love.

I am Jesus.♥


R. The devil wants us selfish, divided, isolated.

That leaves a soul thirsty.

We were created for life in God,
What is life,  Jesus.

The devil's grip is paralyzing and crippling.

Oh God gift my heart with your life.

I love You so much God.

Your love is everything.

God comes and fills you with light.

Satan works in the soul holding out in selfishness and pride, envy, ugly darkness like tar fills the dark heart.

The dark heart allows Satan in to operate in them, then tries to bring others down to their darkness.

It is an act of the will to want holiness and give yourself as the gift you are to be.


The Holy Spirit has gifts to give you for - the graced baptized soul. Some turn their backs and fill themselves with darkness being instruments for the evil one. 

One of the great gifts God gives us is friendship.

Friendship is a gift from God.

And the light shown on my face

The light of God penetrates my heart.

I am never alone and disconnected because God loves in me.

When I look I see reality –
God in others for they were created by God and I am to love them.

Be His instrument of love.

He is love.

We are to be like open pipes where the connection is made.

We are instruments of His love.

He operates in us touching souls through our open loving hearts.

Instruments of love on the Lord's day.

And St. Paul says "yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me." Galatians 2: 20

Instruments open like a pipeline.

Instruments like Clear-water.

It's God's will we are instruments of His
Instruments of love, filled with the Holy Spirit.

God’s ways are not our ways. The unity of oneness God wants is far beyond anything we know.

As He takes us deeper into that oneness, we know this more and more. God is absolute truth. The more the Holy Spirit fills us, the deeper we grow in oneness with God and the truth is in us.

We put on Christ, we are robed more and more in His grace.

This is His life in us, more abundantly, filling us ever more, possessing our soul, permeating our being, living in deeper oneness.

When a soul goes to heaven, they are full of life. All then becomes a life lived for deeper oneness in God.

Shepherds of Christ offers this opportunity to dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

This interior life in Him is ever growing as we surrender ourselves more and more to God.

One bread. One body.

One in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

One. One. One.

Life in Him.

Deeper and deeper as Fr. Carter's message July 31, 1994 promises.

Sing: Deep Within

R. Deeper in His Heart.

The interior life in Him.

R. Pride can turn on us and destroy us.

Narcissistic

Concern selfishness for ourselves and little concern for others.

The Golden Rule

    Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

If we are to live in peace with others we must balance concern for self and others.

Using talents to do God’s work is healthy pride
Bad pride pushing everybody else out of our way, selfishness.

Everybody trying to criticize Jesus.

We do things to help people. Not doing it for selfish gain.

Very day living to serve Jesus.

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. $15

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. $15

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. $15

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. $15

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts
Inspiring Homilies by Fr. Joe Robinson
$ 5.00

Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. Cycle A (partial)    Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD.Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
