John 11:25  I am the resurrection and the life.

                R. Fr. Joe said –

                    If Jesus walked in and
                said to us

                    "I am the resurrection and the life"

                    or

                    we can say if Jesus walked
                    in and said

                    "I am the way, the truth and
                        the life"

                    How would we respond?

John 11: 25

Jesus said:

I am the resurrection.
Anyone who believes in me,
   even though that person dies, will live,
 

                Sing: On Eagles Wings

                Fr. Joe said at the funeral, He had anointed
                    Butch and prayed for him so
                    that he would enter into
                    eternal life –

                God calls us – He knocks on
                    our door –

                He says to us

                    "Come follow Me"

                He will come to us someday
                    when He is ready for
                    us to leave this earth –

                We want Him to take us
                    quickly into eternal
                    life – eternal happiness.

                God made us to be with Him
                    for all eternity –

                We need to have as our goal
                    of all of our actions
                    eternal life – eternal
                    happiness.

                We perform actions for
                    right reasoning –
                    in love –
                    according to God's will

                God put us here –
                    God calls us to have
                    relationship with Him –
                    He wants this –
                    He calls us to Himself –

                We are pilgrims on a
                    journey –

                God put us here and He
                    wants us to go to heaven.

                Christ emptied Himself –

                The Mass is the Sacrifice of Calvary –
                    sacramentally made present –

                We empty ourselves –

                We are to seek and obey
                    the Father's will –

                When we go to the Eucharist
                    we receive the Body and Blood
                    of Christ.

                We are to be one in Him.

                We are to have unity in Christ –

                Unity and love in our
                    lives with God and
                    others –

                Dear God have mercy on
                    us –

                We are sorry for our sins –

                Dear God help us, direct us,
                    lead us to life eternal
                    with You –
   

Through Him, With Him, In Him

 

Vigil & Feast of the Assumption (excerpt)

August 14/15, 2010

Mass during the day: Our first reading (Revelation 11:19a, 12:1-6a, 10ab) is from the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation is highly symbolic. Some of the symbolism is quite obvious while it requires a fairly extensive knowledge of Scripture to interpret some of the other symbols. In today’s first reading we hear about a woman, a child and a dragon. The dragon represents the devil and the powers of evil at work in the world. The child is Christ. The woman in our reading has a double symbolism. She stands for Mary, the physical mother of Jesus Christ, and she stands for the Church, our spiritual mother who brings Jesus Christ to birth in us through faith and the sacraments. In today’s passage the woman is rescued from the powers of the dragon and is described in great glory. This too has a double symbolism. It symbolizes the glory of Mary in the assumption. It also symbolizes God’s faithful people whom he will rescue from evil and will bring, in the resurrection from the dead, into the glory of heaven.

HOMILY – Mary’s assumption into heavenly glory is not explicitly described in the Scriptures. As St. John says at the end of his gospel, the Scriptures do not tell us everything that could be said about Jesus, what he said or did, much less does it tell us everything about Mary or the Apostles or the early Church. The Church has believed for centuries that Mary was so honored in the assumption because no one followed Christ as perfectly as she did, thus it is perfectly appropriate that Mary would follow him into eternal glory, body and soul.

    A painting by Raphael (Vatican Pinacoteca: Crowning of the Virgin – Oddi Altarpice) recalls the legend that when Mary’s life came to an end, the apostles buried her. Thomas, however, was not there at the time and when he returned he wanted to see for himself that she had died. When they opened her tomb, her body was gone. It had been raised and was taken to heaven by her Son who crowned her as queen. St. Francis de Sales said: “What son would not bring his mother back to life and would not bring her into paradise after her death if he could?” Actually, no one knows where Mary might have passed away – whether it was in Jerusalem or in Ephesus. Another painting by Raphael (Vatican Pinacoteca: Madonna of Foligno) is one I thought was very lovely. It is part of a larger piece which includes St. John the Baptist and St. Francis on the left and St. Jerome introducing the kneeling Sigismondo Conti who was the patron who commissioned the painting.

     

  Revelation 11:19, 12: 1-6, 10

Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened, and the ark of the covenant could be seen inside it. Then came flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and an earthquake and violent hail.

     Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.

Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire forever have been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ,...'

 

                R. The Holy Spirit calls us to Him. The Holy Spirit wants to fill
                our soul, but we must want Him to come, and we ask Him
                to come to us. The Holy Spirit works powerfully on our soul.
                Come Holy Spirit, Come and fill our heart with love –
                Come Holy Spirit come and help us to be on fire with
                    the love of God.

                 From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

end of excerpt

   

                R. We pray for the increase of faith, hope and love
                in our graced baptized soul –

                    The more the Holy Spirit fills us, the more we love
                on a supernatural level and the more we
                are united to God and to others.

                    Love of God comes in surrender and
                docility. the soul recognizes that God is
                All Powerful, is Divine and the soul knows
                its place - under God. The gifts of the Holy
                Spirit are gifts given by God for the soul to reach
                greater perfection in God – to be more and more
                in the image of Jesus.

                    Here is a prayer Jesus gave me one year
                before Lent.

 

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

 

                R. We seek to be possessed by God –

                Here is a prayer I was given 22 years ago.

  

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

 

                R. When a person loves another person they
                    want to share themselves with the other –

                A person wounded harshly in love, in childhood
                    therefore will, because of the wounds of love,
                    want to close-up and keep others out of
                    their space. Some even provoking others
                    they use as victims and blame, that are
                    entirely innocent people, used by the wounded
                    party who projects their pain on an innocent
                    other, blaming and doing far worse sometimes, to
                    the innocent other than what was done to them.
                    These secrets of wounding and how traumatic
                    they were need to come out, and the person
                    learn, to love and trust others, God has sent
                    in their life.

                If a person thinks they can operate out of darkness,
                    they soon learn the darker can be ever darker
                    in isolation and punishing, life-long, themselves
                    and others and not really living as God wants.

                The element of 'control' which is paramount to the
                    wounded person, locked in pain should be
                    seen in contrast to the freedom of
                    flying in love in the Holy Spirit, with REAL
                    surrender to God.

                But the person wounded and shut down doesn't
                    want to open and trust anyone and the darkness
                    of depriving themselves of really living in God
                    becomes a greater darkness as they oppose God's
                    will for them, constantly, causing CONFLICT in
                    themselves.

                    What we were given in baptism is great
                gifts to be united to the all perfect God –
                in a most intimate fashion where He fills
                our soul with Himself.

                    The person caught up in their secret
                wounds and hidden has lost all trust
                in the people God sends as guides to help them.

                    We see how the men scourged Jesus and put
                Him to death. We see that the Good, many times
                are persecuted by others who are not connected
                in their hearts as they should be and are used
                by satan to block the work God wants
                accomplished.

                    Trust and Truth to me walk hand-in-hand.
                We learn about trusting God, by trusting the
                trustworthy people God puts in our lives –
                We learn about trusting people by really
                surrendering and trusting God –
                Trust works 2 ways – we are working in
                relationships – The more we trust others God
                sends to help us grow spiritually – the more we
                learn to trust God.

                The more we Trust God like in these two prayers –
                Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, Prayer
                for Union – we ask God to come – possess
                us, we surrender and then God moves
                like a mighty wind in us, helping us to let
                go more and more to Him –

                Trust takes letting go –

                The person wounded, and closed, and hurting
                others makes themselves more and more closed
                and isolated – making others suffer like they
                suffered and they blame the people they
                wound for their nasty ways they treat them –

                    It is all twisted, dark, not based on
                a goal of eternal happiness because it
                is not rooted in truth. It is rooted in
                deception, hewn out of a sickness from
                long ago inflicted on them through the
                sin of one or several who abused them –
                and keeping this secret and guarding it - is
                all operating in the darkness and in control –

                    Who can really control other people, who can
                control their lives.

                    A germ fanatic is different than a person
                seeking to have good hygiene and taking precautions
                about cleanliness.

                    Balance and truth, right reasoning –
                keeping our goal on eternal life and allowing
                God to come and work like the wind in our
                lives – burning off the rough edges that
                are destructive bad habits that drive us
                from intimacy and trust with God and others –

                    Letting go to God –

                    Really opening up to secrets and asking God to
                heal the dark, black halls why someone can
                be in a cold hall locked in abuse done to them –
                Trusting those guides in our life God has sent
                to help us and guides in the writings He has
                given to help us to grow to be the Apostles,
                Servants, Handmaids, Associates – He has
                called us to be –

                    But the halls of pride of some are like
                Black, cold, hateful places that are not
                door ways to heaven.

                    A person seeing themselves as great and
                others as under them, not as good as them,
                denying structure and direction where God
                uses others to lead them in the spiritual life
                and having to tell God – "I need nobody – I
                will find my own help if I need it – I want
                this person to heal me". If a person is stuck
                on wanting some unavailable person to heal
                them and they won't let go of the person
                who wounded them – they can set up surrogate
                others they can pull in for their sick ways that
                need to be healed.

                    God knows what has happened in our lives.
                Suffering is redemptive. God is Divine –
                the Holy Spirit coming to us is the Divine God, but
                God works also in guides to help us – in
                structure, in books and ways He
                sends us messages in our lives to help
                us heal –

                We have to be docile to the touch of the Holy Spirit
                then open to working with those He sends
                to help us.

                The person who is trapped in an alcoholic
                situation, abuse at home or at work and
                needs the job – very often doesn't want
                anyone to know because they don't trust
                anyone – they can close themselves off –
                which is against God's will –

                God knows what is going on in our hearts –
                He wants intimacy with us –

                When we go to heaven, if we do go to heaven,
                God will possess our soul.

                We are here to learn to be so one with
                    God – to unite with others in
                    the building of the Kingdom of God –

                    We are here a work in progress – God knows
                our hearts.

                    The devil works in secrets – the devil tells
                people not to trust others – the devil works
                in pride.

                    We see Jesus on the Cross – obeyed the Father's
                will –

                    We study the scripture of John and see
                the Persons of the Trinity and relationship of
                the Persons of the Trinity.

 

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.   
end of excerpt

 

                R. Devotion to God – living by the Word of God –
                Going to the Eucharist.

                    When we are docile to the Holy Spirit – we need
                silence – we need the Holy Spirit working in that
                silence in our soul – we want the Holy Spirit
                to work in us.

                    A busy man is a busy man and he
                doesn't hear if he does not stop and
                spend that time alone with God.

                    The Holy Spirit wants to come and possess
                our soul, to direct us, to work in us, but
                we are asking God to help us. It is a two
                way street.

                    A person that is stilted Jesus says becomes
                more and more closed to where they recognize
                their place – under Him – under authority –
                they do not recognize at all: relationship is
                allowing God to direct them – through authority –
                through those He sends in their life to relate
                with, to trust and to live in truth –

                    Truth is a dominating force. Jesus has
                said even the smallest lie can lead us
                off. Lies become habits and a person
                can lie, flatter, say whatever will get what
                they want to happen –

                Is that control?

                God works in truth –

                Jesus is the way, the truth and the life –
                When a person lies to get what they want
                to manipulate things – lives in secrets –
                hides the truth – tells others to hide
                the truth – lies to authority to strengthen
                their stand and raise up those subject
                to authority – over the authority – they
                are working against God when He has
                implemented just authority –

                    God is at work. We can try to manipulate,
                justify lying, keep secrets, ignore authority –
                resist correction, not being held responsible
                for our job, not recognizing our accountability
                for our actions –

                    then say to ourselves – I deserve to continue
                this –

                    Well a house divided against itself –
                does not stand –

 


 

                R. God is at work in us – in His work – We
                are to grow in greater perfection in God –
                We are to obey God's plan and not oppose
                His Plan which makes conflict in our
                soul.

                    How do we work in a soul hewn with
                conflict with God's Plan – A person can keep
                justifying to themselves how they are right –
                can live their whole life dedicated to their
                own "rightness" - what a lost cause –
                We are pilgrims on a journey – our
                director is God. We are preparing for eternal
                happiness – that is why God created us –
                to be eternally happy with Him in heaven –
                He is the director –
                We have our eyes on God –
                We pray to the Holy Spirit to see through His eyes –
                To work under His Plan –

                Jesus said:

                    I am the way, the truth and the life –

                Jesus gave Fr. Carter this message.
 

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

  

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

        This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

    1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
    2. For the Pope.
    3. For all bishops of the world.
    4. For all priests.
    5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
    6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
    7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
    8. For all members of the human family.
    9. For all souls in purgatory.

    end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart message

 

                R. We are to love God with our whole heart,
                our whole soul and our whole being
                and love our neighbor as ourselves –
                We must have an intense desire to
                live in love under the Father's will –
                We want what God's will is –
                That is our measuring stick –
                We adore God – we love Him so
                    very much –
                Jesus loved His Father this way –

                We follow the way of Jesus –

                We live in the truth –

                We live – we are not stuck in a
                    dark, cold hall of control
                    and manipulation where finally
                    we trust no one –
                    we don't give at all
                    and we can become bitter as
                    the darkness grows darker
                    and the coldness is a self
                    enclosed hallway of controlling
                    and manipulation to keep others out –

                Hell is total isolation
                Hell is never having God for all eternity –

                God is love –
                To be close to God and heaven –
                We must love –

                God has given us this devotion to the Sacred Heart
                    and Immaculate Heart –
                    where we make Jesus the King and Center
                        of our Hearts –

                God has commissioned us to spread these
                    prayer chapters to the ends of
                    the earth –

                The Holy Spirit works in the Heart of Mary –
                    molding us more and more in the image
                    of God –
 

        From the Priestly Newsletter Book III by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit And Mary

The late Archbishop Luis M. Martinez of Mexico strikingly speaks of the ongoing cooperation of Mary with the Holy Spirit regarding the reproduction of Jesus within us: "Christian life is the reproduction of Jesus in souls…

"Now, how will this mystical reproduction be brought about in souls? In the same way in which Jesus was brought into the world, for God gives a wonderful mark of unity to all His works. Divine acts have a wealth of variety because they are the work of omnipotence; nevertheless, a most perfect unity always shines forth from them because they are the fruit of wisdom; and this divine contrast of unity and variety stamps the works of God with sublime and unutterable beauty.

"In His miraculous birth, Jesus was the fruit of heaven and earth…The Holy Spirit conveyed the divine fruitfulness of the Father to Mary, and the virginal soil brought forth in an ineffable manner our most loving Savior, the divine Seed, as the prophets called Him…

"That is the way He is reproduced in souls. He is always the fruit of heaven and earth.

"Two artisans must concur in the work that is at once God’s masterpiece and humanity’s supreme product: the Holy Spirit and the most holy Virgin Mary. Two sanctifiers are necessary to souls, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, for they are the only ones who can reproduce Christ.

"Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary sanctify us in different ways. The first is the Sanctifier by essence; because He is God, who is infinite sanctity; because He is the personal Love that completes, so to speak, the sanctity of God, consummating His life and His unity, and it belongs to Him to communicate to souls the mystery of that sanctity. The Virgin Mary, for her part, is the co-operator, the indispensable instrument in and by God’s design. From Mary’s maternal relation to the human body of Christ is derived her relation to His Mystical Body which is being formed through all the centuries until the end of time, when it will be lifted up to the heavens, beautiful, splendid, complete, and glorious.

"These two, then, the Holy Spirit and Mary, are the indispensable artificers of Jesus, the indispensable sanctifiers of souls. Any saint in heaven can co-operate in the sanctification of a soul, but his co-operation is not necessary, not profound, not constant: while the co-operation of these two artisans of Jesus of whom we have just been speaking is so necessary that without it souls are not sanctified (and this by the actual design of Providence), and so intimate that it reaches to the very depths of our soul. For the Holy Spirit pours charity into our heart, makes a habitation of our soul, and directs our spiritual life by means of His gifts. The Virgin Mary has the efficacious influence of Mediatrix in the most profound and delicate operations of grace in our souls. And, finally, the action of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of the most holy Virgin Mary are constant; without them, not one single character of Jesus would be traced on our souls, no virtue grow, no gift be developed, no grace increased, no bond of union with God be strengthened in the rich flowering of the spiritual life. mm

"Such is the place that the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary have in the order of sanctification. Therefore, Christian piety should put these two artisans of Christ in their true place, making devotion to them something necessary, profound, and constant." 18
