4th Sunday Ordinary Time

 

Zephaniah 2: 3, 3: 12 - 13

Seek Yahweh,
all you humble of the earth,
who obey his commands.
Seek uprightness,
seek humility:
you may perhaps find shelter
on the Day of Yahweh’s anger.

But in you I shall leave surviving
a humble and lowly people,
and those who are left in Israel
will take refuge in the name of Yahweh.
They will do no wrong,
will tell no lies;
nor will a deceitful tongue
be found in their mouths.
But they will be able to graze and rest
with no one to alarm them.

    

Psalm 146: 6-10

who made heaven and earth,
the sea and all that is in them.

He keeps faith for ever,
gives justice to the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry;
Yahweh sets prisoners free.

Yahweh gives sight to the blind,
lifts up those who are bowed down.
Yahweh protects the stranger,
he sustains the orphan and the widow.

Yahweh loves the upright,
but he frustrates the wicked.
Yahweh reigns for ever,
your God, Zion, from age to age.

     

1 Corinthians 1: 26-31

Consider, brothers, how you were called; not many of you are wise by human standards, not many influential, not many from noble families. No, God chose those who by human standards are fools to shame the wise; he chose those who by human standards are weak to shame the strong, those who by human standards are common and contemptible—indeed those who count for nothing—to reduce to nothing all those that do count for something, so that no human being might feel boastful before God. It is by him that you exist in Christ Jesus, who for us was made wisdom from God, and saving justice and holiness and redemption. As scripture says: If anyone wants to boast, let him boast of the Lord.

  

Matthew 5: 1-12

Seeing the crowds, he went onto the mountain. And when he was
seated his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak. This is
what he taught them:

How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the gentle:
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
Blessed are those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those
   who hunger and thirst for uprightness:
they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and
speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this
is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

 

 

4th Sunday in Ordinary Time

February 3, 2008 

Homily: Imagine a drug that causes you to live eight or nine years longer, make $15,000 more a year and be less likely to get divorced.  “Happiness seems to be that drug,” according to Martin Seligman a PhD psychologist who researches and writes about happiness.  If we’re miserable, can we make up our mind just to be happy as easily as if we were to take a pill?  To some extent we can.  Studies on twins say that about 50% of our happy or unhappy moods is genetic.  About 10 % depends on depressing life circumstances such as being extremely poor, gravely ill or losing a loved one.  The other 40 % we can control and is influenced by what we do to make ourselves happy.  We just have to be careful not to pin our hopes for happiness on things like perfect health, lots of money, and good looks, which bring only a tad greater happiness than those less blessed.  True happiness flows from deeper values such as engagement with family, work or a passionate pursuit, and finding meaning from some higher purpose.  Does that sound like getting our of ourselves?  Sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves just won’t do it.  

Four ideas that I think are very helpful for increasing happiness are (1) Being active (such as exercise) or (2) putting on a happy face.  I think when we smile or laugh it tricks our mind into thinking we’re happy and we feel happier.  (3) I’ve always preached that gratitude is the key to happiness.  Psychologists are suggesting that people keep a gratitude journal, writing down at the end of the day the things that happened that cheered them up.  Experts say counting your blessings may be the single most helpful thing you can do for you happiness.  (4) Doing good things for others can help too. 

There are those times when a person needs professional help and/or medicine.  There is that 50 % that is genetic where some types of depression seems to be inherited or that 10 % when a person is in a seriously difficult place in life.  Self medication with alcohol or other forms of addiction only add to the problem.  If you need the help, get it.  There’s no shame in that.  A lot of depression is due to internal chemistry or external circumstances which a person can’t handle on their own.  For many of us the attitude we have toward life (seeing the glass as half full instead of half empty), the attitude of gratitude, of helping others, of getting out of ourselves, of surrounding ourselves with cheerful people or positive thoughts can help improve our own happiness quotient.   

Then there’s our faith which gives us hope. Jesus gives us the beatitudes, which form the introduction to his sermon on the mount.  His sermon is three chapters long, by the way, which we will totally miss.  We’ll hear the very last part in June after the Lent and Easter cycle.  Jesus is talking to the common people of his day, people who were living close to the edge, people under the rule of Rome, people surviving day to day.  He is letting them know life’s troubles and difficulties will some day be reversed for those who open their hearts to the Kingdom he came to announce.  The Greek word (and Greek is the language in which we find the original form of the gospel we have) the Greek word that begins each beatitude is “μακάριος.” The word means “happy” in an ordinary sense, but it also means one who is especially happy or favored or fortunate.  That’s why it is translated “blessed.”   

Reflecting on the beatitudes, it makes perfect sense to me to say that those who are poor in spirit, i.e., who are satisfied with simple things in life, those who are merciful, those who are clean of heart will be happy or blessed.  It wouldn’t make much sense at all to say “happy” or “blessed” are those who mourn, those who hunger or thirst for righteousness, those who are persecuted unless somehow God would remove their sadness and let them share in his joy.  In that lies our faith and hope.  The thing that keeps me going is to keep believing that God can bring something good out of everything.  Without the happiness and hope that thought gives me, I would have given up in despair many times.  Similarly I have often heard the Archbishop say during difficult times: “God’s in this somewhere.”  I don’t always see how God can make things better; I just believe he can.  That’s because I believe in the resurrection.  If God could turn Good Friday into Easter Sunday, he can turn our sadness, our losses, our crises, our sicknesses into a blessing for us.  That is the hope God gives us.   

The Holy Father just finished his second encyclical: On Christian Hope.  He says: our great hope – faith in Jesus – can sustain people during the roughest of times.  He goes on: we need God otherwise we remain without hope.  That’s what brings us to Mass every week. We celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection, his body given for us and to us, and his resurrection that gives us hope that even death cannot defeat us if we stay in union with him.  Blessed are we who believe in him and blessed are you for being here today.  Amen. 

 

                R. Paul's Jewish name was Saul —
                Saul persecuted the disciples of Jesus —

                Stephen was stoned to death —
                Stephen was the Church's first martyr

                Saul fell to the ground blinded on
                    the way to Damascus —

                We have blind sides —
                We were raised certain ways —
                Our parents were imperfect —
                Our society is imperfect —

                We are here to learn to be more and more
                    in the image of Jesus —
                    We have not arrived

                I am imperfect
                You are imperfect

   

1 John 1: 8-10

If we say, ‘We have no sin,’
we are deceiving ourselves,
and truth has no place in us;
if we acknowledge our sins,
he is trustworthy and upright,
so that he will forgive our sins
and will cleanse us from all evil.
If we say, ‘We have never sinned,’
we make him a liar,
and his word has no place in us.    

   

                Saul gained his sight —
                    He was baptized

                The Jews who were with Saul before
                    felt betrayed by Saul — and they
                    wanted to harm him

                Saul's Roman name was Paul —
                Paul escaped the men who wanted to harm
                    him.

                Stephen shed his blood
                Christ shed His blood —

                We are to be committed to Christ —
                    God calls men and women to be committed
                        in marriage
                    God calls religious to be committed

                The devil attacks commitment —
                The devil wants division amongst us —

                The devil doesn't want commitment
                    in marriages

                The devil doesn't want commitment
                    of religious —

                The devil wants division
                    straddling the fence

                Jesus is the way, the truth and the
                    life —

                Jesus gives us His Word —

                Jesus gives us the Church —

                Jesus gave us the Apostles —
                    His teachings were passed down —

                Jesus made a commitment —
                    Jesus was whipped
                    Jesus crowned with thorns
                    Jesus carried the heavy cross —

                Jesus made a commitment of His
                    love for us —

                Jesus asked me to make a commitment —
                    to write His messages —
                    to tell people I saw Mary —
                    to be a teacher of these
                        revelations He gave me —
                    to conduct these prayers for
                        reparation, teaching and
                        to pray for the priests, the Church
                        and the world —

                Jesus says — not to be wishy-washy —
                    to give in because of fear
                    of what others think —

                Abraham shows his faith to us
                Abraham's life still is a witness of
                    his faith as we read in Hebrews
                    today at Mass —

                His life lived in faith speaks to us
                    today —
                    He made a commitment to God
                    Stephen made a commitment to God
                    Stephen was martyred —
                    Stephen's faith still speaks to us —
                    Stephen was a martyr for his
                        faith —
                    Stephen shed his blood for Jesus

                God has called us in the Shepherds of Christ
                    to go out to the world —
                    To spread Fr. Joe's book to all the
                        bishops of the world —

                Mary said that there would be an
                    era of peace at Fatima —

                We spread these writings to priests
                    and hierarchy about the
                    Bread of Life — the scripture
                    and the Eucharist —
                    The homilies are based on
                        the Word —
                        the Liturgy
                        they reach them weekly —

                We pray for the priests, the Church and
                    the world —

                We spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart and
                    Immaculate Heart as Mary said at Fatima

                God calls us to help build His Kingdom —
                    God calls us to be witnesses —
                    God commissioned us in baptism
                        to spread the Good News —

                We are called by God to grow in
                    greater holiness —

                We are called to be open —
                Not closed down - but to go out —

                Look at Stephen's commitment —
                Look at how Paul traveled —
                In the end Paul was beheaded —

                These men speak to us today of
                    their faith in Jesus —

                Paul spoke of obedience to God —
                Paul taught us of his faith —

                Paul went through a conversion —
                    He was blinded
                    We see what he did before —
                    We see what he did after his
                        conversion —

                Paul suffered
                Paul was beaten

                Paul was imprisoned for once
                    for two years

                Jesus allows us to suffer for Him —
                Jesus suffered for us —

 

I Died For You

February 23, 1994

Jesus: I want this emotion in the letter I told you to write. I, Jesus, Son of God, talk to you with such emotion! I am He Who died a brutal death for love of you. I died for you! I love you this much, to give My Life! Yet you couldn't even write when I asked you. You must do exactly as I say. I do not want you ever to say no to Me!

I have such emotion! I am telling you how I died a brutal death and you, My child, did not write for Me! What more can I do? What more do they want? You put others before Me or you would do as I command. I want you to do as I tell you every moment.

I am the Lord. I am the Son of God. Such emotion I let you feel for My death. I died. I am a person. I was human and I died for you. Think of yourself giving your life for someone and they do not care. What can I do to shake you? What more can I say? I am here and I am loving you and pleading with you to listen to Me with this emotion that God is telling you. I am Jesus. I died for you. I gave My life for you and do you even listen, My little sweet one? You didn't want to write it for My children. When I give you a command, you write. When I say do, you do. Selflessness! I am pushing you because I need your total surrender. Do not ever deny My writing to My loved ones. You have a responsibility. I don't care where you are when I talk. I am God and I talk to you. I am so present to you.

Listen. I need your selflessness. I need your surrender. I need your life, given for love of Me and Me alone. I need you to be the light that shines on the hill, that does not go in and out but is constant in My love. I need your commitment. I need your attention at every moment. I am feeding you My words every moment on paper and in your hand. You must obey Me exactly as I command. No questions, only action. I want action. Now! You write when I say write. I don't care where you are. You worry not for others. I am giving you the mighty medicine. Would you tell the doctor to wait? I am God and I do not ever want to wait while you play a safe game with Me. When I say do something, I want you to do it. You are My beloved and I am filling you with fire.

I am pushing you to do that which I need done. Do not ever stop to look around. Keep your focus on Me and My commands for you. I am using you every moment. I must be able to count on your constant consent to do My will immediately! I am calling you to this work and I want you to comply. I love you ardently. I am so full of love for you. Focus on this and this alone. I am Who am. I am God, child. Do not ever hesitate. Do not doubt or think. You must act as I act in you or My work will not be done.

Be selfless about My commands. You will do My work. You will spread My words of love and create emotion with My songs and I will use you to bring My flock to My love. I love every soul! You must spread My love.

Note: (Meditating on the Crucifixion) Going to Mass at the seminary at 8:00 a.m. was rushed. He said to me, "Where are you going, child. Do you not feel My presence with you?" A calm came over me. Then He started lamenting how He died for us, how He is a true person and He loves us so much. He said, "I died for you."

R. He gave His life for us. He is the little lamb led to the slaughter out of love for us. He said, "I need you to do this work now and I am pushing you." He was so upset! He died for us. He loves us so much as to give His life.

He begged me to spread His love, to tell others how He, bloodied, bruised and beaten, gave us His life.

Jesus: I am God. I am God. I died. Spread My love now! Now! Now! Now! Now! I am begging you not to hold back! Read these letters now, read and learn about My love. I beckon you to speak of My love. Shout it from the high roof. Proclaim it in the cities. Jesus Christ died for love of you and He is risen! I am He Who is God and I died for you!

Listen and preach My love and emotion here. Priests will create little cities, little cities in each church to spread the light of Christ to this sick world. Each priest can create his own little city, a powerhouse of God's love. God has all the power. His power is endless. It never runs out. It is might. You have no power except through Him. Churches filled with the intimate love of Jesus will be powerhouses.

I am God, My little ones. God can do all things. I can make your cities light up the darkness. I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. I am the light of life. I am God! I can do all things. I want to act in you. You need to be in constant union with Me. My priests, you need to be selfless. My soul and yours are one. I want to act in you.

Hold not back. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me.

                Commitment —
                Commitment —
                Commitment —

                Jesus was put to death
                Stephen was put to death
                Paul suffered
                Paul wanted eternal life
                Paul was chained —
                Paul wrote and wrote
                Paul wrote when he was arrested —
                    Paul wrote letters —
                    Like the letter to Timothy —

                Paul was beheaded
                We look at these saints beheaded —
                Their faith speak to us today —

                We too will suffer if we follow Jesus —
                    We must be committed to do God's will —
                    God's will is what God wants us to do —

                    If others provoke us
                    We still do God's will —

                Some accepted Christ —
                Some wanted Him dead —
                They imprisoned Paul —
                    He wrote letters —

                Jesus said to Paul on the way
                    to Damascus
                    "Saul, Saul why do you
                        persecute Me?"

                Why when we know God's will do we
                    make ourselves, sometimes, a rival to God —

                Pope John Paul II
                    said not to make ourselves a rival
                        to God's will

                    Seek God's will and do it
                    Be committed to Christ —

                    Look at these early Christians
                        who were willing to shed
                        their blood for Christ —

                God is teaching us how to be
                    His disciple today —
                    Fr. Joe says When we've quit
                    learning, we’ve quit being a disciple.

 

Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time - July 19, 2009 (excerpt)

One of the important messages in today’s readings is that in love our Lord leads us, by teaching us and appointing others to teach us. But we need to listen, and we need to keep on listening. We’ll never be finished listening and learning as long as our world suffers from injustice, poverty, hunger, discrimination, war, hatred and killing of innocent people. Christ would be put to death before he would stop teaching. It is to our own great loss when we stop listening. That’s one of the reasons we are here each weekend, to listen and to learn. We call ourselves disciples. The word disciple means learner. When we’ve quit learning, we’ve quit being a disciple.

   
                   
                The devil wants us to be a rival to
                    God's will —
                    like Adam and Eve were —
                    Why did they do this?

                Mary said at the
                    Marriage of Cana —

 

 

                    ‘Do whatever he tells you.’  John 2: 5

                Paul was willing to suffer for Christ —

                When we walk in the footsteps of
                    Jesus we die and rise
                    in Him —

                Death/Resurrection

                We can learn from Paul —

                Look at His gift given in Hebrews
                    which we are reading in
                    Church at Mass now —

                Great saints have gone before
                    us as witnesses of the
                    Gospel —

                We are to follow the example of
                    the saints —

 

What Comes Forth: Sinner or Saint?

January 28, 1994 6:40 a.m.

Jesus: I am with you, My child. Never think I leave your side. You are so precious to Me. Though you walk in raging waters, you will not be consumed. Your heart is Mine. Focus on Me and your love for Me. Satan is always there. Do not ever listen to him. He is trying to distract you.

Come to Me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest. You are tested in fire and what comes forth is a sinner or a saint. You must hold tight to Me and know I will give you all you need to fight your daily battles.

I want to strengthen you and deepen your commitment to Me. You must know that this too shall pass and you will be closer in your union with Me.

I am your all. This time here is so short, here today, gone tomorrow. Stay steadfast in My ways. Pray to Me constantly. I am your all. You must focus on Me now.

You will be tested in fire and go forth a sinner or saint.

R. Jesus, it is love of You I feel, deep in my breast and inexpressible. To be bottled up with such love but not behold You as I want, to know you a little but not a lot, to be so close to You but so far away!

Come, Oh come, Lord Jesus, come and dwell in my heart. Make my heart a heart on fire for love of You alone. Teach me Your ways that I may never stray from Your side. Hold me. Comfort me. Love me. Fill me with Yourself. Jesus, Jesus, I come and am engulfed in a sea of despair. You pick me up and caress my little heart and I know truly Your presence within me. It is not a myth. You are truly a Person. You are truly here. If I just sit this out, the anguish will leave and I will be made whole in You. What a union! To be united after spiritual bankruptcy. Loss of God is the greatest torment. Let me never displease You in the ways I am. I want to love You alone and live for You alone. Help me every day to become selfless. Satan is constantly bringing me back to myself! I want to live for You and You alone, to be lost inside of You in a little pocket and immersed in Your love. Tuck me away in Your heart so I might know Your love and Your ways. Let me die to self to live only in You. I am Yours. I give myself totally to You!

My true love is in Jesus, the one, true, magnificent God. He is worthy of all honor and praise. At His name every knee should bend and we are made whole in Him. To Him come and worship. Be ready. He is truly your bridegroom. He is the bridegroom of your soul. Your soul craves this union with Him. The soul's craving is far more powerful than any craving of the body. The soul craves the love of Jesus. His name is exalted. He is honored and adored. The trumpet blares and He comes forth to meet us. This is the bridegroom of our souls. We are immersed in His peace and love and we are made whole by Him. We do not do anything.

In our trials we are taught mighty lessons of His love. Alleluia. Praise God for our trials, by which we are taught. Praise Him, the holiest in the heights! May He be honored and adored and worshiped by all of His people. He is worthy of our all!

                "Faith is the firm assurance of
                    what is hoped for that is
                    not seen" —

                    Jesus truly died for us —

                    Jesus' promise to us of salvation
                        for those who love and
                        serve the Lord are real —

                Abraham had such faith he
                    was going to offer Isaac
                    as a sacrifice —

                God is a God of miracles —

                In the Gospel today we see how He
                    quieted the sea and it obeyed
                    Him —

                We see Him driving out the demons of the
                    man possessed by demons

                The devil tries to tempt us —

                He wants us to give into our
                    tendencies to seek power over
                    those over us —
                    pride —
                    the devil wants us to be angry and
                        jealous, envious, slothful —
                        obsessive, lustful, gluttonous —
                        anything that is against
                        God's will —

                The devil wants us to be a rival
                    to God's will —
                The devil presses on our feelings —

                He wants emotion in it —
                    old hurt feelings —
                    old unhealed wounds projected
                        on innocent others —

                Jesus in working miracles like
                    raising Jarius' daughter —

 

  

                teaches us about faith —
                Jesus teaches us about His might —

                We are to have faith in Him —

                Abraham was searching — always
                    going to the home God was
                    leading him to —

                Likewise through the trials we
                    undergo — we are being
                    led — like Abraham if we
                    endure and listen to God —
                    to do His will —
                    we will go to our heavenly
                    home —
                    we go over many places —
                    searching —
                    looking for water to refresh
                        our spirit —
                    following Christ even when
                        it is tough —

                It is the path of Christ we follow

                We follow God's will like our
                    Father Abraham and
                    we have a strong faith —
                    We want our heavenly home —
                        promised to us by God
                        if we follow Him as we
                        were commanded —
                        if we love —

                We don't listen to satan who
                    wants us to get off the path —
                    give in to weakness —
                    hurt others

                Abraham was a man of integrity —

                The map is the map God is giving
                    us to follow

                We are to love God and love
                    one another —

                We see the heroes of the Old Testament

 

Hebrews 11: 32-40

   What more shall I say? There is not time for me to give an account of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, or of David, Samuel and the prophets. These were men who through faith conquered kingdoms, did what was upright and earned the promises. They could keep a lion's mouth shut, put out blazing fires and emerge unscathed from battle. They were weak people who were given strength to be brave in war and drive back foreign invaders. Some returned to their wives from the dead by resurrection; and others submitted to torture, refusing release so that they would rise again to a better life. Some had to bear being pilloried and flogged, or even chained up in prison. They were stoned, or sawn in half, or killed by the sword; they were homeless, and wore only the skins of sheep and goats; they were in want and hardship, and maltreated. They were too good for the world and they wandered in deserts and mountains and in caves and ravines. These all won acknowledgment through their faith, but they did not receive what was promised, since God had made provision for us to have something better, and they were not to reach perfection except with us.

   

                We see men getting persecuted
                    for their faith —

                We keep in our mind — the
                    images of the rosary —

                Jesus' Baptism at the Jordon

                The face of Jesus at His birth —

                The 3 Kings —

                Jesus teaching in the temple
                    at 12

                The Sermon on the Mount —

                The Marriage at Cana and
                    Mary saying
                    "Do whatever He tells you" —

                The Transfiguration and the
                    voice of the Father —

                The Last Supper

                ALL Positive Images —
 

                The Miracles of Jesus —

                Jesus fed them with so few
                    loaves and fish —

                The Miracles of Jesus —
                    Jesus healed the lepers —

                Jesus healed the paralytics

                There are temptations all through
                    life —
                    We want our thoughts to
                        be according to the will
                        of God —

                    We can discipline our thoughts —
                    We can think of peace, love
                        and joy —
                    We can focus on God's might —

                    We can choose to get distracted
                        and focus on things other
                        than what God wants for us —

                We must keep our eyes focused
                    on Jesus —

                We pray for an increase of faith,
                    hope and love —

                Jesus did not give up the fight
                    even when faced with death —

                We can make suffering for ourselves
                    and others by choosing to oppose
                    God's will —

                We can hurt so many people when
                    we give into our angry
                    feeling and choose to hurt
                    others for power - over
                    others —

                Jesus gives us His miracles in
                    the scriptures —

                We can rely on His Might —

                The world wants us to think we
                    aren't supposed to suffer —
                    babies die —
                    people get cancer —
                    suffering is imminent in our
                        life —

                We do get persecuted for standing
                    up for Jesus —
                    Look at those who went before us —
                    Look at Jesus — He was put to death

                Those really following Christ are
                    persecuted — this is a reality —

                God trains us —
                God allows us to suffer —
                Jesus was rejected —
                Jesus had enemies —
                Jesus was rejected —

                Jesus died and Mary and John —
                    Mary Magdalene were under
                    the cross —

                When Jesus was in the garden
                    suffering — His Apostles
                    slept —

                Peter denied Jesus 3 times
                    worrying what people thought —

                But Judas betrayed Jesus and
                    his sin was deep

                Jesus tells us of His love in
                    the Blue Books —

                The Mighty Medicine — use them
                                                spread them
