Today's readings

               

 

Daniel 5: 1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28

King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for his noblemen, a thousand of them, and, in the presence of this thousand, he drank his wine. Having tasted the wine, Belshazzar gave orders for the gold and silver vessels to be brought which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the sanctuary in Jerusalem, so that the king, his noblemen, his wives and the women who sang for him could drink out of them. The gold and silver vessels taken from the sanctuary of the Temple of God in Jerusalem were brought in, and the king, his noblemen, his wives and the women who sang for him drank out of them. They drank their wine and praised their idols of gold and silver, of bronze and iron, of wood and stone. Suddenly, the fingers of a human hand appeared and began to write on the plaster of the palace wall, directly behind the lamp–stand; and the king could see the hand as it wrote.

    Daniel was brought into the king’s presence; the king said to Daniel, ‘Are you the Daniel who was one of the Judaean exiles brought by my father the king from Judah? I am told that the spirit of the gods lives in you, and that you are known for your perception, intelligence and marvellous wisdom.

I am told that you are able to give interpretations and to unravel difficult problems, so if you can read the writing and tell me what it means, you shall be dressed in purple, and have a chain of gold put round your neck, and be one of the three men who govern the kingdom.’ 

    Then Daniel spoke up in the presence of the king. ‘Keep your gifts for yourself,’ he said, ‘and give your rewards to others! I can certainly read the writing to the king and tell him what it means.

You have defied the Lord of heaven, you have had the vessels from his Temple brought to you, and you, your noblemen, your wives and the women singing for you have drunk your wine out of them. You have praised gods of gold and silver, of bronze and iron, of wood and stone, which can neither see, hear nor understand; but you have given no glory to the God in whose hands are your breath itself and all your fortunes. That is why he has sent the hand which has written these words. The writing reads: mene, mene, teqel and parsin. The meaning of the words is this: mene: God has measured your sovereignty and put an end to it; teqel: you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting; parsin: your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.'

   

                Writings on the wall

                You have rebelled against the Lord of
                    heaven —

                You did not glorify God —
               

Daniel 3: 62-67

Bless the Lord, sun and moon, 
praise and glorify him for ever! 
Bless the Lord, stars of heaven, 
praise and glorify him for ever!

Bless the Lord, all rain and dew, 
praise and glorify him for ever! 
Bless the Lord, every wind, 
praise and glorify him for ever! 
Bless the Lord, fire and heat, 
praise and glorify him for ever! 
Bless the Lord, cold and warmth, 
praise and glorify him for ever!

     

                R. 1st reading Apocalyptic Reading —
                    be faithful to faith —
                    not give up —

                The Babylonian empire got
                    defeated by the Persians
                    and the Jews did get to go
                    back to their homes —

   

Luke 21: 12-19

But before all this happens, you will be seized and persecuted; you will be handed over to the synagogues and to imprisonment, and brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name —and that will be your opportunity to bear witness. Make up your minds not to prepare your defence, because I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death. You will be hated universally on account of my name, but not a hair of your head will be lost. Your perseverance will win you your lives.

   

                R.Apocalyptic writing —
                    but Jesus said not a hair on their
                    head would be disturbed —
                    we must focus on
                    the reward of eternal life
                    to those who trust the Lord
                        all things will turn out for
                        those who love the Lord —

                The Pascal mystery —
                    Christ has died
                    Christ has risen
                    Christ will come again —

                Dear Bread of life —
                    we praise you —
                    we worship you —
                    we love you —
                    You are our strength —
                    Jesus is truly present in the
                        Blessed Sacrament —
                    Oh Divine Redeemer
                    You are the Lord of life —

    

1 Corinthians 15:20-28

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

    

                R. The ocean is so beautiful —

 

 

                R. God's love is so great —
                Jesus is truly present in the
                    Blessed Sacrament in His
                    Divinity and humanity —

                Thank You God for this gift —
                Thank You God for this Church —
                Thank You God for the priests
                    and deacons —

                God's gift to us —

                Fear drives out love —

                The devil can work in fear in us
                    so we are majorly crippled in
                    our thinking —

                There is always that struggle in
                    trusting in God and acting when
                    we are alerted by fear that
                    something is wrong.

                The very hairs of our head are numbered —
                    does that mean we fearlessly stand
                    for no reason under a tree in
                    an electrical storm with
                    lots of lightening and thunder.

                The devil wants us to fear — even
                    fear we aren't pleasing God
                    when we are trying to please Him —

                I know the presence of God that dwells
                    in my graced baptized soul —

                What a gift that is and yet we live
                    in this human condition so we
                    pray to God to protect us from
                    dangers because dangers exist —

                Saint Clement today's feast, was a
                    saint who knew that God was
                    with him, he trusted in God
                    in running the Church — he was
                    able to suffer for Christ —
                                  

                Look at how - these early Fathers
                    of the Church witnessed to the
                    faith —

                We have been given such gifts in the
                    Church — so the truth is brought
                    to us 2000 years later in the
                    Church —

                We have such a gift that this tremendous
                    Church has been given to us —
                    that we can go to Mass —
                    that we have the priest —

                Jesus loved us so much — He took flesh
                    and walked this earth — to teach
                    us, to die and rise for us —
                    to show us His love —

   

Excerpts from Blue Book 6C

March 7, 1995

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven

9. Jesus: I call out to you, My Mother calls out to you this day, to come for Our love and to spread this love in the highways and the byways, to the souls that are hurting, the souls that will be lost. I beg you as My soldiers to take this job seriously. Who will I call if you do not answer? My precious chosen ones, I call you to spread My love throughout this world! I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I died for you! Will you answer My call to love your brothers?

10. Jesus: How many of My precious children are hungry and in pain, are hurting and unloved? Pray to the Spirit to open your eyes to see the world that is before you, to not close your eyes and your hearts, but to open them wide to see what I am calling you to do on this earth. You are here for such a short while and what awaits is eternity for those who love and serve the Lord. I call to you! Will you answer?

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

6. R. The Father sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into this world so that we might be saved and live for ever in the courts of Heaven.

7. R. God took on a human nature out of greatest love for us. Our God is so good that He wants us forever to live in such celestial bliss with Him in Heaven!

   

John 3: 16

For this is how God loved the world: 
he gave his only Son, 
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish 
but may have eternal life.

 

                R. The Church flourished on the love of the
                    Apostolic Fathers for God —
                    and the Blood of the saints —

                These men are saints —
                These men, like Fr. Carter, are still alive
                    in heaven —

                Jesus loves us so much —

                The Apostles carried the message
                    to the whole world —

                This teaching was passed on to us —
                    This is something to boast about —

                St. Clement is our saint today —

                Oh Most Sacred Heart of Jesus —
                    we want to love —
                        to live in love —
                        to focus on all things in
                            loving You —
                        for Your honor and glory —

                Dear God we are sorry for our sins —
                Dear God help us to be witnesses
                    for You —

                I give You this poor heart of mine —

                Dear God thank You for the martyrs
                    who shed their blood to witness
                    to the faith and help build up the
                    Church

                Dear God protect us from danger —

                We pray for health in body, mind and soul.

                Sing: Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

                R. Oh God help us to be holy —

                Sing: Oh Lord Hear My Prayer

  

Psalm 77

I cry to God in distress,
I cry to God and he hears me.

In the day of my distress I sought the Lord;
all night I tirelessly stretched out my hands,
my heart refused to be consoled.
I sigh as I think of God,
my spirit faints away as I ponder on him.              
Pause

You kept me from closing my eyes,
I was too distraught to speak;
I thought of former times,
years long past I recalled;
through the night I ponder in my heart,
as I reflect, my spirit asks this question:

Is the Lord's rejection final?
Will he never show favour again?
Is his faithful love gone for ever?
Has his Word come to an end for all time?
Does God forget to show mercy?
In anger does he shut off his tenderness?              
Pause

And I said, 'This is what wounds me,
the right hand of the Most High has lost its strength.'
Remembering Yahweh's great deeds,
remembering your wonders in the past,
I reflect on all that you did,
I ponder all your great deeds.

God, your ways are holy!
What god is as great as our God?
You are the God who does marvellous deeds,
brought nations to acknowledge your power,
with your own arm redeeming your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph.                          
Pause

When the waters saw you, God,
when the waters saw you they writhed in anguish,
the very depths shook with fear.
The clouds pelted down water,
the sky thundered,
your arrows shot back and forth.

The rolling of your thunder was heard,
your lightning-flashes lit up the world,
the earth shuddered and shook.
Your way led over the sea,
your path over the countless waters,
and none could trace your footsteps.

You guided your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

 

                Sing: Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

                R. In the dark night — the snow falls
                    softly and those inside are wanting
                    to feel warm and secure —

                The snow is white against the darkness
                    and looks very beautiful reminding
                    us of the beauty of our
                    graced soul —   

   

Excerpts from Blue Book 6C

March 7, 1995 (excerpt)

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

9. R. Jesus wants us holy as saints! Jesus wants us to be His spouse! How is our soul? Is it pure for the marriage of our souls? Jesus longs to be so close to us, to think of Him as our Spouse! Jesus loves us dearly and wants to unite, to be one with us!

   

March 8, 1995 - Nursing Home Message  - 2:25 p. m.

He Knocks at the Door of our Hearts

Jesus: I will knock on the door of their hearts and whoever opens I will come in and I will sup with thee.

John 14: 6   I am the Way; I am Truth and Life... 

Jesus: I am He Whose bootstraps you are unworthy to fasten and I come to you with greatest love, My beloved dear ones.

    Oh, how I love thee. Oh, how I wait for you. I ardently love you with an unfathomable love, yet you keep yourselves at arm's length from Me. Some never even come close to Me.

    I stand, I knock. I wait so patiently. Gently, I treat you. You do not comprehend the great love I have for you.

    I beckon you to listen to My words here, for I truly speak to you. Remove the crust from your eyes. Pray that you may see with hearts that are open to Me, that clear vision is had in your hearts. You look, you wonder, you roam, you cover your eyes. You close your hearts and I watch you, so gently do I tap. So willful you are and set in your ways.

    I knock, I knock, I knock so gently and patiently. All that you want, all that you need is found in Me, yet you turn your backs and miss My great love for you.

    My dear, dear loved ones. I love you with unfathomable love. I knock, I knock, I knock minute-by-minute, second-by-second. I tend to your needs. Harken to My call. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am Jesus, your Savior on fire for love of you, My dear, dear chosen ones.

    You think I do not know your sufferings. I know everything about you. I ponder the ways of your heart. I know you far better than you know yourself. I am Jesus, your beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of your soul. Harken to Me. I love you, I love you, I love you. This is My love letter to you, My sweet ones.

 

March 9, 1995 (excerpts)

The Annunciation

6. R. When the priest holds up the consecrated Host, when we see Jesus exposed in the Monstrance, this is Jesus Who was inside of Mary's womb and hung for three agonizing hours on the cross. Give us the grace to more and more realize that this is truly God, that He is present with us. Help us to let go, to quit holding on, to let go and experience God that is in our midst this very day. This same Jesus Christ Who hung on the cross remains in the Tabernacle in this room with us in the consecrated host. We should be on the floor in such awe that God is present and so close to us - in this very room in the Eucharist.

4. R. Let us meditate on the Incarnation. God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into this world out of greatest love for each one of us. He comes to us a helpless little baby in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

 

The Finding of the Jesus in the Temple

5. John 14: 6  Jesus said: I am the Way; I am Truth and Life... 

  Jesus: I come to you with greatest love. I am All Powerful! I am All Knowing! I remain with you in the Tabernacle this day. I outpour to you grace and wisdom as you come and sit with Me. Grace and wisdom as you will never find in this world. Come to Me! Come to Me in silence throughout the day, little periods of silence. When you feel unsettled, come and sit for three minutes and let go and focus on Me and My love, the love in My Heart. Come through My wounded side into My Most Precious Heart.

7. Jesus: You are children who need to be taught. I teach all My precious ones with such wisdom. Do not tell yourselves that you will not understand. As I give, you will receive. I outpour My grace to you. I outpour My grace abundantly to those who come to Me and sit with Me in front of the Tabernacle. Do you want to know Me more, then you will come and be with Me. Be with Me after communion and stay with Me. I outpour My grace to you after communion, My abundant grace, I give you wisdom and you know Me more intimately


 

March 12, 1995 - Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

  Mary says Spread Our Messages

Mary: I have sent to you and my Son has sent to you
what you need. You do not listen to these letters.

    You are selling this great product to the
world, personal love letters from Jesus
and Mary, powered by the grace of God.

    When people read these letters their hearts
are turned to my Son's burning love.

    I am so sad that I am being ignored about
the rosary. This is a powerful tool to
bring men's hearts to the love my Son
and I have for you. Our hearts are
the symbols of Our great love for you.

    You have the mighty medicine for the world.
You can sell books with large print
in nursing homes. Select letters
that are appropriate for the people
in nursing homes. Letters to draw
them to His love, letters to ask
them to pray for the priest.

    These letters are for the world.
Talk in the nursing homes, talk to
prayer groups, you sit around
and look at each other, but you do
not listen to the rosary, you do
not read the letters. Your answers
for your problems are found in
these letters.

    I tell you, I ask you to spread
the meditations and books, you
want to do it your way. I am appearing
as Our Lady of Light, you received
special graces on March 5, I first
came on the 5th of July.

    You are missing the information
my Son and I are giving you. You take
these letters so lightly. You have
been given songs, Rita has tapes,
tape the Blue Book Meeting and
sell the tapes.

    You are to spread this love
throughout the world. Your key
is in these letters and rosary meditations.
My Son is gentle in His ways, He has
written so many letters. I ask you
as your Heavenly Mother to answer
my call and respond.

    You continue to do things your way.
The Father has a plan. You get human
minds doing human things. His plan
is a Divine Plan to spread the love
of God across this land. You have personal
love letters from my Son Jesus, six
books, a rosary book and a
second soon. You do not have to
put all the meditations in one book.
I beg you to publish the rosary
meditations. Spread these books
and meditations to the children.

    I appear, my Son is giving you
so many messages. Sell the books
when you give talks. Give books to
priests and sisters. My Son has requested
to give the second book to priests and
sisters. The other books will sell by the
popularity of the first two books.
Please, pray in silence before my
Son Jesus to receive direction. You do not
read these messages or listen to the
rosary. You are missing the information
we are giving you. Human minds get
human results. We are speaking to
you and you do not pay heed.

    My Son wants these messages and
rosary meditations published. He will
get the attention of those involved.
I ask you to listen to my plea.
I am Mary your Mother and
Thank you for responding to my
plea.

 

March 12, 1995 -

  My Blood Shed for You

R. After Fr. Carter's Mass

How I have sinned and You have paid the price.
I see You Jesus battered from head to toe, the
blood as it runs down Your precious face,
the gash over Your eye. I see them as they
hit Your precious head crowned with
thorns. I see a particularly deep, deep
gash on Your arm, which is
particularly open and bleeding so much.
I see You Jesus Your hands tied in front
of You and You cannot even tend to Your
bleeding wounds. The blood pours down
Your face and You cannot even catch
the blood. Let me look at You and study
You Lord, You look at peace and full
of love in Your battered state. Oh Jesus,
Jesus, my beloved, this is the love You
have for me, as I study Your face and see
Your wounds, I see the intense love
You have.

Jesus: Oh My dear, dear child, do you know, do
you know just a little of My deep love,
focus on My blood shed for you, it is a
key to understanding My great love for You.

R. That gash to Your arm Lord, is that gash
the one You suffered from my sins. Does
it bleed when I said yes to sin and no to
You? You suffered for love of me. Let me
forever make recompense for my sins.
My great sins, my little sins, all the
sins that I have committed that made You
suffer and bleed. Oh my Savior, how precious
are You to me. "I see the host, I know you're
here to love and care for me."

    "I love you this day, I am your ardent
love, you wander oh so far, your
soul knows it is hungry for only
My love."

    It hurts me so when I said yes
to sin and no to You. When I see
You streaming with blood, it hurts
me so when I said yes to sin and
not to You.  

 

March 13, 1995 (excerpt)

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar

1. Jesus: I watch you, My precious ones. I watch you as you go about your day. You do not realize how close I am to you. In all of your sufferings I am there so close. It is in your sufferings that you will be brought to fuller life in Me. Oh, how I love you, My precious ones and how I watch you so closely. Minute by minute, second by second, I am with you, watching you, My beloved ones!

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

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 - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

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

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

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

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
