Messenger:           To be embraced by You
                        my God -- to express the depth of
                        love ever growing in my heart --

                            How deeply I love all and how
                        deeply I live -- depth -- experiencing
                        the moment --

                            The reality of my calling here
                        below and yet there is the tension of
                        not having the fullness of life here
                        below and the

                            Hungering -- Hungering after
                            completeness in Him
                            You have helped Me on this
                            journey my precious friends --
                            when I felt alone, the reality
                            of us all operating in union
                            on this journey -- doing God's will
                            in love was there --

                        When a boat sets out on water --
                            it is understood usually that one
                            will begin and end -- one will not
                            in the middle abandon ship --

                        As we travel our way on this mission and
                            God has set us sail --
                            I feel the pressing down
                            on the journey --

                        Some may jump over, but in
                            this Movement -- some have
                            stood by the side and wanted
                            to get relief and they did not
                            jump into the hollow sea,
                            but glued to the deck they
                            quieted the spring inside that
                            seemed to pull them -- as
                            if they should jump

                        This I say is satan -- tempting to
                            abandon the mission

Messenger:           The memory comes and the celebration
                        so very great -- I feel a fullness

                            The Mass is the high point of
                        my day --

                        sacrifice and pray with the whole
                        Church -- loving God so deeply and
                        loving all.

                            Oh Father how precious Your

                            the song of the birdie
                            the dance of a child --
                            the sweetness of their love --
                            the genuineness of their little ways --

 I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love! I write this for the honor and glory of God and in thanksgiving to Jesus for calling me to this Movement.

Jesus says in St. John's Gospel, "You did not choose me, no, I chose you…" Jn 15:16.

What a calling! To be chosen to be a Handmaid of the Good Shepherd! His special spouse! The spouse of THE KING & CREATOR of the Universe!

WOW! And a Movement personally directed by Jesus! Thank you, Jesus!

Words cannot express all I would like to say. Since 1st grade I wanted to be a nun. I saw the nuns at my school and I wanted to be like them. Unfortunately growing up... all the peer pressure in school and the struggles of young adulthood took away any hope of being a nun. I followed the ways of the world and left Jesus out of my life.

During my senior year of nursing, the seed of pursuing a religious vocation sprang up again in my heart. I started attending daily Mass as often as I could, and Mary our Mother was bringing me closer to Jesus. My 1st choice was Mother Teresa's Order, however, that didn't happen for me.

After graduation from nursing school I went to a Bible Institute Retreat at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While there, I attended a Baptism of the Spirit Seminar and felt a strong presence of the Holy Spirit.

That fall, in 1996, I went back to Ohio for another retreat, and while I was in the chapel one evening, I picked up God's Blue Book II and read a message on Communion from Jesus. I almost fell out of my pew! The message touched me deep in my heart. Thankfully, I was able to take the book home. the messages were awesome! I never knew of having such an intimate relationship with Jesus!

I started spending an hour everyday after Mass. I joined the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart and later started a Shepherds of Christ Prayer Chapter. I got the other Blue Books, the rosary book and rosary tapes. I felt so committed to praying the prayers and the rosary mediations were so powerful! I thank Jesus and Mary for all these revelations!

I heard about the handmaids in 1998, while ordering through the Shepherds of Christ. I was really interested in them. I thought maybe this is where God is calling me. I kept praying to do His will.

Jesus, in His time, made it all work out. When we give our lives to Jesus, He can do more than we could ever ask for or imagine! Jesus loves us!

I feel so blessed and privileged to be in the formation of being a handmaid! Thank you, my Father, for this Movement and all the beautiful people in it! Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your tremendous work in my soul! Thank you, Jesus, for choosing me for this special calling. And like Mary, my life is a continuous FIAT. "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." and "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word."

Fr. Mike's Homily at Mass

 

    Today we celebrate the memorial of St. Benedict.

    I think he probably needs not a whole lot of introduction.

    Most of us have had some sort of experience with the huge effect this single, solitary man has had, not just in Christian history, but just in history alone. Probably the way that we have felt his effect in the world is through the Benedictine order, which numbers somewhere in the neighborhood of about 8,500 members at this point in time across the globe.

    It was not always such a reality.

    Benedict desired to be closer to God, that's the best way of putting it. He chose and tried to strive to be closer to God, and so he decided he wanted to go off in some quiet and solitude, and to live the Christian life as best he could.

    The problem was - which really wasn't a problem, but - the problem was is that, even though he wanted to be more in solitude, his life - in striving to live out the Christian life in heroic ways - attracted others. So much for his solitude.

    And so as he strove to become a holier person and to live in heroic ways, Christian life, he ended up gathering up companions. First he filled up one monastery, then another, and then another, and then another. I think they estimate that during his lifetime, there ended up being established somewhere in the neighborhood of seven or eight Benedictine monasteries, following his rule, and so he is also known as the Father of Western Monasticism.

    The reason why the Benedictine order grew to such proportions, I believe, is that he lived the Christian life with heroic proportions. Christ said that if He'd be lifted up, He would draw all to Himself.

    And by his striving to live the Christian life in heroic ways, Benedict lifted Christ up, and it drew people to Christ. That's what happened.

    It is disturbing to me that in the place where Benedict established these monasteries, that the Christian life is in many ways dwindling. That's in the area that we sometimes call the First World, primarily in Europe. That world is marked by great luxury and very much, very prosperous, and I think it points out something.

    Why is it that the Christian life seems to be dwindling in those areas? Well, if heroic living of the Christian life drew people to Christ, what would be the answer then, as to why people are not being drawn to Christ? Could it be that the Christian life is not being lived in heroic ways, or at least striven after with due diligence and priority? I think the answer is, yes, that's probably what's happened.

    I think what has happened is that, in the First World, our own country included, we live in such incredible freedom and in such incredible luxury, that sometimes we forget the priorities of life.

    And we can learn something, primarily from the Gospel, but then also the way that it was put into practice by Benedict, then, on this day.

    So in the First World, many times what happens is that luxuries and freedom - not in the sense of dependence upon God, which is ultimate freedom - but freedom in the sense of licentiousness, ends up being embraced as the first priority.

    "How can I get more free time?" "How can I get more of the goods of the earth, so that I can sit in a cushy lifestyle?" These things become priorities, even over other blessings that God might have in store for us in life, like spouse and children.

    And so when priorities get mixed up in life, what happens? The things that really matter get devalued. So what do we see in the First World? A rise in abortions. A rise in the divorce rate. A decline in the number of people who practice the faith. Such that in France, I think that the estimate right now is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2%, of a country that has claimed to be like, 80% Catholic.

    Even in Spain, where our Holy Father has recently visited, is a country that is 90% Catholic. And now they say that where it once was, like in the 70's, where probably 60-70% of people practiced the faith, it's now down to 25%.

    Even in our own country, the reality is - well this sounds very grim, doesn't it? - the reality is much the same. And so, I think we have to ask, what's afoot here?

    I really don't think that it's that people have become so terribly bad, it's just that they have fallen asleep. It's a difference, huh? It's a matter of awareness. And so in that sleeping state, many times what has happened, is that priorities have gotten mixed up. The priority is set on self and self-satisfaction.

    The problem is, is that when we set our sights on that, we're never self-satisfied, we can never be happy. Because Christ, Who is happiness itself, He came not to be served but to serve, to live His life for the other, that as ransom for the many.

    And so, happiness comes not in living life for self, but living life for the other. Priorities, my dear friends in Christ - the Gospel then points out those priorities that Benedict lived out, the priorities that those who are Christian are to live, in heroic ways as Benedict did.

    It's interesting. What does Jesus say? Peter - with all due respect to the first pope and the prince of the Apostles - he's whining:

"Oh Jesus, we've given up everything to follow You. What do we get out of this deal?"

    Jesus understands the human spirit, you know, we need something to spur us on. And so He answers back, "Amen I say to you, you who have followed me, you who have given up houses, or brothers and sisters, father or mother, or children or lands, will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life."

    What more could you ask? Although, I think the thing is, is that hearing this, we say - wait a minute, does that mean that we have to - boy, this does not do a mother's heart good - does that mean that we have to abandon our children? Wait a minute, to give up brothers and sisters, mother and father - does that mean that we have to disown our families? Is that what it takes to live out a heroic life for God?

    And I think the thing is, is that the answer is kind of surprising. The answer is no, and yes. That's a celibate, who has pledged his life to celibacy for the sake of the kingdom of God, saying that. The answer is no.

    What is Jesus emphasizing for us? I think it's that pecking order of priorities. What is more important than brother and sister, mother and father, children and lands? God is more important.

    Am I saying that God is more important, for those of you who are here who are married, am I saying that God is more important than your spouse? Yes! I'm saying that. That is what God, that is what Jesus is emphasizing for us. For you parents out there, am I saying that God is more important than your children? Yes! I'm saying God is more important than your children.

    For those of you who are living in this association of the faithful, am I saying that God is more important than the other members of this association, and the association itself? Yes! God is more important than that.

    Anything, in this world, and even those in the next that are not God, are less important than God. God is, and we are called to have God as our first and foremost priority in our life. There is no other. It is the first of the great commandments given to us. We are to love God above all else, with all our mind, with all our heart, with all our soul. This is the first and the greatest of the commandments. And we need to live it in heroic ways, such that Christ is lifted up and others are drawn to Him.

    But how does that happen in the concrete reality of our lives? How do we place God first? The way that we do that is by living our concrete, individual lives in the most faithful way that we can, just where we are.

    So if you are a spouse, you are called to live your dedication to God, your priority set on God, by living as a spouse in the most faithful way that you possibly can, in heroic ways. Being dedicated to the one whom God has given you, as a great gift in your life, even at the times when they are a thorn in the flesh.

    And you who are parents out there? You are to live your life as faithfully as you possibly can, sharing your faith with your children, and living faithfully as one who is a parent to your children, as best you possibly can. And by doing that, you are dedicating your life to God as well.

     For those of you who live in this association, you live your dedication to God by living out your life as a member of this association as faithfully and as best as you possibly can, in heroic ways, even when the other members are a pain in the neck. Remaining faithful to the way of life that God has called you to. For in living that life faithfully, you give glory to God. Living that life as God has called you to, is setting your priority on God as the #1 in your life.

    We are called to live our lives as Christians, blooming where God has planted us, in heroic ways, so that others are drawn to Christ Whom we lift up, by living life faithfully. That's what Benedict did, and it drew others to the faith.

    Now, I think that this point in time we might all say, wait a minute, Benedict's a saint, after all. He had special graces from God.

    What did he have? Hmm. Baptism, which incorporated him into the body of Christ. Confirmation, which ignited in a full way the Spirit of God given to him at baptism, so that he might indeed be a witness to the faith, and have the strength of the Spirit to live that faith.

    And the Eucharist, so that he might continue to grow as a member of the body of Christ. Be more perfectly, with each and every passing day, integrated into that body more perfectly.

    Hmm. Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist. He had the gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, by which he knew God's forgiveness for him, and continued to draw him to the way of perfection and holiness. Hmm. He had companions on the journey of the Christian faith.

    Hmm. Benedict had the same things that we have. And so we too are empowered to live heroic lives of Christianity, such that we draw others more deeply on that same journey, calling them and drawing them. And by living those lives, where we are, in heroic ways in everyday faithfulness - that's heroic, everyday faithfulness - we progress on the way of holiness, which at the end of our days will end like Benedict's, truly and saintly lives, and ultimately in the glories of heaven.

    And so as we receive the Lord, present to us here and now, in one another in the Word that is proclaimed and preeminently in the sacraments that we celebrate and share, let us truly ask God to give us the courage, to live our lives as Christians in heroic ways, so that the world might be transformed by the Body of Christ.

What has Shepherds of Christ and being a Handmaid done for my life and for my relationship with Jesus?

I first heard of Shepherds of Christ from a letter received concerning a rosary gathering at Tom’s Farm in October 1996. My family already had plans for the 13th. When I received a notice for November 13th my brother and I went not knowing much about Shepherds of Christ, but if it was praying the rosary-it had to be good. It was the most powerful rosary I ever attended. I didn’t go for several months, but felt drawn to this ministry and compelled to pray the prayers and read the blue books. Jesus was talking directly to me through them and it was great.

Jesus has always worked slowly in my heart. Pain and suffering in my early adult life brought me to realize that God was the only one I could turn to in my need. God alone was my strength.

In July 1997, news came that the department where I worked was being phased out by the parent company on the east coast. I was disenchanted with my job and I only continued working there to live, so I wasn’t concerned about the lack of a job.

During this same time, I felt pulled in my heart to pray with Shepherds of Christ as a body. I was shy and I would just come, sit, pray and be silent, not really talking to anyone very much.

I knew from my childhood that I would never marry. The pull Jesus had on me was stronger than the world’s, though I didn’t realize the source. For the past year I had become closer to Jesus and I felt what I would do with my life, next, would be for him alone.

On August 13, 1998, I went to China, Indiana, to the monthly rosary knowing something was going to happen-but not knowing what. During the rosary the president of Shepherds of Christ started reading a letter from Jesus about women being called as handmaids and their way of life. I felt the power of the Holy Spirit descend on my head and I was glad to be sitting. I knew Jesus was calling me to become a handmaid, a call that I had been waiting patiently for, for over two years.

After the rosary I acted on the Holy Spirit’s prompting immediately-knowing if I didn’t, I would find excuses not to. Jesus’ hand is very strong in my life. I was accepted as a candidate for a handmaid within a few days and gave two weeks notice at work. I found myself in Clearwater, Florida, within three weeks.

As a Handmaid of the Good Shepherd my life is very prayerful and very one on one with Jesus as His spouse. He is the Bridegroom of my Soul. Just being with him after Mass and in front of the tabernacle is candy to my soul and leaves me speechless. Being a handmaid has brought the joy, love and peace of my Divine Bridegroom into my life to an extent I didn’t even know could exist.

He calls me to constant change and growth. I cannot remain the same, for my life and love for him would stagnate. I live to serve him. I have only scratched the surface of the depth to which my soul craves union with my Lord and Savior. Any life in God is hard work, but the rewards are unbounded.

Jesus loves each and everyone of us on a personal level. He died on the cross to save each soul. He, the living God, is truly waiting in the tabernacle for us, to love us, if we would only come and sit with him.

Since my move to Clearwater, Florida, in 1998, I have recently traveled to China, Indiana, for a stay and I am currently in Morrow, Ohio, doing the work Jesus has called me to do. Jesus knows where I will be next, even though I do not.

There is nothing boring about being on Jesus’ roller coaster. The ride is into eternity! I can’t wait to see you there!

How has being a member of Shepherds of Christ has changed my life?

When I was a baby, we lived next door to a convent and I had 12 years of Catholic education. I married and lived Cincinnati eventually. After my civil divorce, my three younger children and I moved back to Price Hill in Cincinnati where I grew up. This time brought me the Catholic Charismatic experience.

Dad died in '86, and I moved away to a small town. Though I tried, I thought no Catholic church or prayer group met my needs so I attended Protestant prayer meetings and services. I found ministers and prayer groups that deeply love the Lord Jesus, and I would still be in these circles except that I went back to Cincinnati to visit. I hadn't told my old friends that I was no longer a practicing Catholic so I joined them when they attended charismatic functions. At one of these I was given Blue Book I.

Actually, someone tried to give it to me and I wouldn't take it saying, I had too much to read , so it was given to the friend I was staying with. When we got home and she was out of the room, I opened the book so I could congratulate myself for not accepting it.

That's Jesus! Jesus is speaking in this book! I read almost the whole book that night, then I ate humble pie and phoned the lady who had pressed me to accept it. I received it in a few days.

Back home I read and reread it. Jesus was speaking loud and clear and I went to the nearest church and made a confession and resumed my long neglected practice of daily Mass. I also began to go to the Shepherds of Christ chapter meetings in Morrow, Ohio, where I heard the call for volunteers to come to the Virgin Mary Site in Clearwater, Florida.

How well I understand God's words, "Your thoughts are not My thoughts!".

Changing my thoughts and my ways comes more slowly than changing my address, which is now Clearwater, Florida.

Though retirement isn't at all what I thought it would be, I wouldn't trade places with anyone at all.

Written January 14, 2000

Jesus has led me gently and gradually into closer union with Him through Shepherds of Christ. From the Prayer for Union that I found in church, to the first time I read a Blue Book, to my first 13th meeting, to starting a prayer chapter in my parish, He has patiently led me into doing things I didn’t know I could do.

I have loved Shepherds of Christ from the beginning because I have experienced Jesus' guidance in a special way.

And here I am, a Handmaid of the Good Shepherd, being a spouse of Jesus, loving and serving Him here in China, Indiana. For many years, I wanted to work for Jesus in the Church, but didn’t know how.

The daily Mass and holy hour were a part of my life before I knew about Shepherds of Christ or the Blue Books. Reading the Blue Book for the first time confirmed what I was already doing and gave me the direction on how to spend that hour with Jesus before the tabernacle.

During the last few years of my working days, I looked forward to the time off so I could spend it with Jesus before the tabernacle. I purposely did my housework during the weeknights so I could have Saturday totally free to spend with Him before the tabernacle.

So, to be here in China, where I can focus totally on Jesus, loving and adoring Him in the Eucharist, and helping to send out His newsletters and filling the orders, is a dream come true for me.

Being a handmaid has been a joy and a challenge. A joy to know this is God’s will for me and a challenge to change myself and to let go of the things I am attached to.

I am now sitting before Jesus, in the exposed Blessed Sacrament, and I am thankful to Him that He has fulfilled my heartfelt wish to be able to love and serve Him 24 hours a day and to adore Him in the Eucharist.

I am also grateful to Jesus for letting me work with the most selfless people who are in Shepherds of Christ. They are always willing to help me out when I need them and go the extra mile to make things easier for me. It is a blessing to be in this family called Shepherds of Christ.

I am also thankful for my friends back home who have been a great support to me, who have prayed for me and helped me to move to China.

On the 13ths, when everyone is gathered for the rosary here in China, I look at the people and I feel a connection in my heart to all of them, to my friends from Jasper and my Shepherds of Christ family and I thank Jesus for loving me through these beautiful people.

And I thank Jesus for leading me to the Shepherds of Christ and for teaching me so many things, especially how to be a better spouse of the Lamb. It is my heartfelt desire to be united with Him forever and He is continuing to lead me there a step at a time.

A message for the Earth from Jesus

January 22, 1998

    I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

    My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it.

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.

Excerpt from November 4, 2001

Jesus speaks:  To those who pray My prayers I
                        promise the following special
                        graces:

                                 - A deeper understanding of the 
                                     Divine Mysteries through fervent
                                     recitation of the litanies.

                                 - I promise a deeper love in your heart
                                     for your God and a deeper love
                                     for your fellowmen.

                                 - Those who pray the prayers fervently
                                    will experience a deep union 
                                    in My Heart and My Mother's heart,
                                    they will be given special insights
                                    into My unfathomable love for men
                                    and experience a thirsting within
                                    themselves to want to help souls
                                    through intercessory prayer and sacrifices.

                                 - They will have a deeper love of the Mass
                                    through this deeper consecration.
                                    [consecration to Their Hearts]

                                 - They will know Me more intimately.

                                 - They will want to live their lives to 
                                    help save souls.

                                 - They will have a deeper love for the priests shepherds.
                                 - They will have a deeper love and dedication
                                    to the Church. (I founded)

                                 - They will want peace on the earth.
                                 - They will want peace in their own hearts.

                                 - You will experience a fearlessness the more
                                    you pray the Holy Spirit Novena prayers
                                    given to you.

                                 - As you meditate on the scriptures you will
                                    understand more fully the plan of
                                    the Father to lead the souls into the
                                    great Reign of My Sacred Heart.

                                 - You and all who pray the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers will be
                                    united in a deep oneness with each other
                                    and the souls of the earth.

                                 - The more you pray these prayers (both sets)
                                    you will live in the truth as you
                                    dwell in Our Hearts.

                                  - You will be given gifts of the Holy Spirit.

                                  - You and your family will be protected by
                                    My Precious Blood and your families
                                    will receive special protection
                                    against satan from fervent recitation
                                    of the prayers. (the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers)

                                 - I promise to take you and the members of
                                    your family in a special way
                                    into My Sacred Heart. I will lavish
                                    you in the fires of My love.

                                 - The priests and the people of the Church and the world
                                    will receive special graces from the fervent
                                    recitation of these prayers. (both sets)

                                 - I will unite My people in a deeper love
                                    from the graces granted from
                                    fervent recitation of these prayers.

                                 - I give these prayers from My image site
                                    in Florida.
                                   I appear there daily as the Sacred Heart.
                                   Some see Me, some do not, but there
                                    is a special presence there.
                                   My Mother appears there for her children.

                                 - In the five years of her apparitions many
                                    souls who have come have been
                                    given special graces of conversion.
                                    Many have been given grace to lead
                                    them into a deeper love union with
                                    God and the Blessed Virgin.

                                 - The image site in Florida has touched
                                    the world.

                                 - I outpour great grace to those who come
                                    to the site.

                                 - There are tremendous graces of healing
                                    granted to all who come.

                                 - People who come rarely leave unchanged.
                                 - The grace granted works in their lives and in
                                    their hearts, long after they have gone.

                                 - A reminder of their visit only need be given
                                    and they experience a memory of
                                    that moment.

                                I ask you to circulate the prayers I have
                                    given, the Shepherds of Christ Prayers 
                                    and the Holy Spirit Novena prayers.
