Jesus speaks:      The deaf do not hear
                                and the blind do not see.

                            Be joyful, shout a cry of joy
                            For there is nothing to fear, but
                                fear itself.

                            I am with you until the end of time
                                I am with you forever.

                            See the smiles of the children —
                                use the talents given to do
                                My work —
                                to do My will —

                            The devil is trying to make you
                                blind to your gifts —

                            Shout a merry song of joy —

                            A man came and gave a little mite
                                he was very rich, but he
                                gave very little —

                            When people gathered he began
                                telling everyone what he 
                                had done for God —

                            He really gave very little and
                                he boasted to the hilt
                                of his generosity —

                            When asked what he gave —
                                he himself agreed it
                                was very little

                            And yet he continued boasting
                                of his generosity

                            First to thine own self be true,
                                lest you treat yourself like
                                a lying "friend"  —  Who wants
                                one? —

                            Where is there anything stable
                                in a liar —

                            They have nothing stable —

                            Like a hurricane you cannot
                                really predict its outcome —

                            A liar is not a friend —

                            A man who is true —
                                is predictable —
                                He walks in truth —
                                He is stable —
                                He is right —

                            A man went among the people
                                and he sold them a "bill
                                of goods"

                            When the people wanted to
                                reap the benefits of the
                                goods —
                                the man was long gone and
                                the money taken and
                                the goods did not produce

                            Words are cheap for the liar —
                                his focus is for his own good
                                truth is measured by what
                                    is really right ——

                            A liar can promise you anything —
                                feels he does not have to keep his word
                                he is a liar —
                                his word is not worth anything

   

Luke 19: 1-10

He entered Jericho and was going through the town and suddenly a man whose name was Zacchaeus made his appearance; he was one of the senior tax collectors and a wealthy man. He kept trying to see which Jesus was, but he was too short and could not see him for the crowd; so he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus who was to pass that way. When Jesus reached the spot he looked up and spoke to him, ‘Zacchaeus, come down. Hurry, because I am to stay at your house today.’ And he hurried down and welcomed him joyfully. They all complained when they saw what was happening. ‘He has gone to stay at a sinner’s house,’ they said. But Zacchaeus stood his ground and said to the Lord, ‘Look, sir, I am going to give half my property  to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody I will pay him back four times the amount.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham; for the Son of man has come to seek out and save what was lost.’

Jesus speaks:      How are children taught —
                            Children who are taught to lie
                                are taught to sin —

                            Children watching adults
                                swindle — have a problem,
                                for they learn to do things
                                dishonestly.

                            When Mrs. Jones didn't want to —
                                do something — she made up
                                a big story — right in front of
                                her children —

                            She taught her children how to lie.

                            She could have just said, "I didn't
                                want to go", but she didn't
                                she concocted a story to
                                tell why she wasn't going.

                            Do you worry more about what
                                people think of you or do
                                you care if you live
                                in truth?

                            You do not have to tell everybody
                                all your business, but
                                why lie before your children
                                about a PTA meeting and why
                                you aren't going to it.

                            Lying is not telling the truth.

Jesus speaks:      Some people steal —
                                They take money they do not
                                    deserve.

                                They may steal something
                                    someone else has —
                                    justifying that it is okay
                                    to do it —

                            How do you want to be taught —
                                Do you want someone telling
                                    you and your children lies —
                                    because of pride they
                                    may want to look smart.

                            Why lie when you don't even
                                have to —
                                Do you want someone to
                                    "lie" to you —

                                How is your measuring stick —
                                Do you think you can lie
                                    and really demand others
                                    tell you the truth.

                                How can people tell what
                                    is truth when you are
                                    lying?

                                Where do you stop with your
                                    lying?

                                You lie sometimes —
                                You tell the truth sometimes —

                                Do you want a "friend" like that?

                                You have rules for others treating
                                    you, but you don't have
                                    to tell the truth.

                            You may say
                                    How can I tell what is the
                                        truth —
                                        many times — they look me
                                        right in the face and with
                                        a concocted story they
                                        lie —
                                    It is a habit with them —

                            Ask them — why do you act —
                                for your honor and glory or the
                                honor and glory of God.

                            To do one's own will, it is
                                a bad habit to lie to
                                a superior —
                                a child to a parent.

                            People with habitual sins,
                                may constantly tell themselves
                                it was okay to sin, so they
                                lie about other things —
                                justifying their actions.

                            How can I build a strong
                                institution, a strong family, if you are
                                in the habit of lying.

                            TRUTH Builds the strong
                                temple.

                            Be truthful to yourself —
                            Don't tell yourself you
                                are a victim when
                                someone didn't even do
                                anything to you —
                                You are just comfortable
                                in the victim role —
                                So you lie to yourself and
                                    others to live that
                                    victim role ——

                            When I speak —
                                LISTEN —

                            I have given you special gifts,
                                but you won't listen —
                                you lie to yourself and you
                                remain the same where you
                                could have grown in holiness.

                            My Word is your truth.

                            You must observe the ten commandments.

                            If you habitually lie about
                                little things —
                                Stop it —
                                You probably lie about lots
                                    of things —

                            Don't lie to parents
                            Don't lie to superiors doing God's will

                            Don't do what you want that is
                                against God's will — then lie
                                to yourself how it is God's will
                                You will only be happy doing
                                    God's will — not giving
                                    into silly promptings of the devil —
                                    not doing willful things - you
                                        want to do that aren't My
                                        will and then lying to yourself
                                        about it.

                                I am the way, the truth and
                                    the life.

                            Sing:  Battle Hymn of the Republic

                            I am the King of Glory

                            Do you live to promote yourself or
                                do you live for the honor and glory of God.

                            Sing:  To Jesus Christ, Our Sovereign King

                            Sing song:  Come, My Way, My Truth

Jesus speaks:      I give you Myself in the Holy Eucharist
                                so you will be holy —

                                               Love
                                               and Praise

                                Do all things for the honor
                                    and glory of God —

                                Don't give into satan —
                                Tell the truth -
                                How do you want people to treat you.

                            You expect them to tell you the
                                truth — then you lie.

                            Satan is the father of lies —

                            The FIRST 2 Commandments are

1.  I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.

2.  You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.

                            Who is your God —
                            Do you lie?
                            Do you make yourself your god?
                            Do you make the world your god?

                            Is your life passing by while you
                                weave - webs of lies to
                                yourself and others —

                            I want to be close to you —

                            I am Truth.

                            The devil is the father of lies.

                            I carried My Cross to My death —

                            I died for your sins —

                            Your sins drives you away
                                from Me —

                            The more pure you are, the
                                more one we can be.

                            I am the Way, the Truth and the
                                Life —

                            Do you want peace —
                                don't lie to yourself about
                                    the truth

    

Little Prayers to the Holy Spirit

                            Sing song:  Out of Darkness —

Jesus speaks:      If you have problems —
                                ask you if you lie to yourself —
                                                       lie in confession
                                                       lie to parents
                                                       lie to superiors
                                                       lie as a habit

                                Who wants a "friend" that lies —
                                Children are watching —
                                Don't teach your children to
                                    lie or cheat —
                                Take what is your due —

                            I watch more and more people - take -
                            what does not belong to them —

                                YOU SHOULD EARN
 
                                   
YOUR KEEP —

                                unless you are a child
                                    or going to school —
                                or elderly in a home

                            What is justice?

                            Peace and Justice shall kiss

14. Prayer to St. Michael and our Guardian Angels:

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

15. Pause for silent, personal prayer. This should last at least five minutes.

16. Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

17. Daily Prayers. All members should say the Holy Spirit prayer daily and make the act of consecration daily. They should also pray the rosary each day. They are encouraged to use the other above prayers as time allows.

Jesus speaks:      Peace comes in living in the
                                truth.

                            How can you keep track of lies?

                            A person that wants peace
                                must live in truth.

                            If a person justifies they can
                                lie because of a greater good 
                                they perceive, they are looking
                                into a bag of trouble.

          

Matthew 7: 1-5

‘Do not judge, and you will not be judged; because the judgements you give are the judgements you will get, and the standard you use will be the standard used for you. Why do you observe the splinter in your brother’s eye and never notice the great log in your own? And how dare you say to your brother, "Let me take that splinter out of your eye," when, look, there is a great log in your own? Hypocrite! Take the log out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
