Jesus: I have spoken to you on the 22nd of the month concerning the Center and the Shepherds of Christ Movement. The Center will light up the darkened world. I ask you to spread the messages of My love in God's Blue Book. I am a burning fire filled with such love for men. My light will shine when hearts are joined in deepest love with My Heart. You will unite in one mind and one heart when all are consecrated in their hearts and are fervently loving My Heart and My Mother's heart.
Jesus gave me a message: The Blue Book 10 and the I would like the Parents and Children's Book Pray for Special Intentions Dan called and gave the report to me, when I hung up I saw
this rainbow and took a picture for him.

2013 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time Isaiah 66: 10-14c Rejoice with Jerusalem, So that you may be suckled and
satisfied For Yahweh says this: You will be suckled, carried on
her hip At the sight your heart will
rejoice, Psalm 66: 1-7, 16, 20 Acclaim God, all the earth, 'Your achievements are the measure of your
power, Come and see the marvels of God, So let us rejoice in him, Come and listen, all who fear God,
Blessed be
God Galatians 6: 14-18 But as for me, it is out of the
question that I should boast at all, except of the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to
me, and I to the world. It is not being circumcised or
uncircumcised that matters; but what matters is a new creation.
Peace and mercy to all who follow this as their rule and to the
Israel of God. After this, let no one
trouble me; I carry branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
The
grace of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ be with your spirit, my
brothers. Amen. Luke 10: 1-12, 17-20 After this the Lord appointed
seventy–two others and sent them out ahead of him in pairs,
to all the towns and places he himself would be visiting.
And he said to them, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers
are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to
do his harvesting. Start off now, but look, I am sending you
out like lambs among wolves. Take no purse with you, no
haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road. Whatever
house you enter, let your first words be, "Peace to this
house!" And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will
go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you. Stay
in the same house, taking what food and drink they have to
offer, for the labourer deserves his wages; do not move from
house to house. Whenever you go into a town where they make
you welcome, eat what is put before you. Cure those in it
who are sick, and say, "The kingdom of God is very near to
you." But whenever you enter a town and they do not make you
welcome, go out into its streets and say, "We wipe off the
very dust of your town that clings to our feet, and leave it
with you. Yet be sure of this: the kingdom of God is very
near." I tell you, on the great Day it will be more bearable
for Sodom than for that town. The seventy–two came back
rejoicing. ‘Lord,’ they said, ‘even the devils submit to us
when we use your name.’ He said to them, ‘I watched Satan
fall like lightning from heaven. Look, I have given you
power to tread down serpents and scorpions and the whole
strength of the enemy; nothing shall ever hurt you. Yet do
not rejoice that the spirits submit to you; rejoice instead
that your names are written in heaven.’
I want Blue Book 10 published and the
Parents and Children's Rosary Book reprinted.

INTRODUCTION
– (Isa 66:10-14c; Gal 6:14-18; Luke 10:1-12, 17-20) Our first reading describes a time in Jewish history right after the Babylonian exile. The Jews had been returning home to Israel after they had been slaves and exiles for 50 years. Their cities, lands and homes were in ruins. Consequently, they were discouraged and depressed. God encouraged them with messages of comfort and hope through the prophet Isaiah. He did not bring them home from exile to abandon them. Jerusalem will be like a mother once again, nurturing them and caring for them. They must rejoice. They will enjoy prosperity once again. The psalm refrain echoes this call to rejoice.HOMILY
– Only St. Luke tells us of the 72 disciples Jesus sent out. There was too much to do for the Twelve. Even today, the official leaders of the Church cannot reach all the people who need to hear God’s message of love and peace. For Jesus it was quite a few more helpers he had to recruit. It seems the first thing he said to them was “there aren’t even enough of you.” “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; pray for more workers for the harvest.” The next thing he did was warn them. It would be a dangerous job. They would be like lambs in the midst of wolves. That’s not a very appealing image. Lambs have no defense. Their only defense is their shepherd. Of course, Jesus knew the heavenly Father would watch over them. Jesus sent them out in pairs. He knows we need each other’s support in our journey of faith. Their mission probably didn’t take them very far and probably not for a very long time. That’s partly why they needed no money or luggage. The other reason they needed to take nothing with them was because they needed to learn to rely on God to provide for them. They had God’s peace, which they could share with whoever was open to it. They had power over demons and they had the gift to heal. You would think they would have been received with open arms wherever they went and it seems as if they were. They came back to Jesus full of joy. Their mission was urgent; they weren’t to stand around shooting the breeze with people, “greet no one along the way,” and their message was simple. They weren’t ready to preach or teach like Jesus did. They were only to tell people the kingdom of God was near.What is the kingdom of God? We pray for it all the time: “Thy kingdom come.” Jesus preached about it many times, often in parables. It is something that not all people want to be part of for it will be like a farmer’s field where some of the seed is productive while some withers and dies. Or it is like a field where wheat and weeds grow together until harvest when the wheat is kept and the weeds are destroyed. But for those who open their hearts to the kingdom, it will be wonderful. It will be like a great banquet, like the wedding celebration for a prince. It will be eternal, it will be peaceful, it will be a rule of love, it will be joy beyond our ability to imagine. Because it is near, Jesus tells his 72, “rejoice, rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
I’m going to tell you a story about what heaven might be like. Old Mr. Murphy loved Ireland. He worked and toiled on its land when he was young. He poured his sweat into its soil. He raised his sons and daughters on its fertile ground. He fought for its freedom. When he could, he traveled its length and breadth. He loved it so much that when it came time to die, he had his sons carry him outside so he could lay next to the ground. He even grabbed a handful of earth to hold onto. And that’s the way he died. When he got to heaven’s gates God came to meet him. God had the appearance of an old man, like we’re used to thinking of God the Father, white hair and beard. God told him he was a good man and welcomed him to heaven. But God said he couldn’t bring that dirt into heaven. Murphy couldn’t let go of it; he loved Ireland so much. So God left Murphy standing at heaven’s gate and went back inside. A few years past and God came out again, this time with the appearance of one of Murphy’s drinking buddies. They chatted and told a few jokes, then God invited Murphy to come on in but to let go of the dirt he was holding onto. But Murphy couldn’t; he loved Ireland so much. So God sadly left him there at heaven’s gates. After more years God appeared again, this time as one of Murphy’s granddaughters. She told him how everyone missed him and begged him to come in. By this time Murphy’s joints had stiffened and his hands could no longer hold on to the little part of Ireland he was trying to take with him. The soil fell from his hands and God brought Murphy inside. Once inside he couldn’t believe it, there before his eyes was his beloved Ireland and much more besides. Sometimes people are so enamored of the little bits and pieces of God’s creation that they have a hold on that they can’t believe there could be anything better. But if we open ourselves in faith to whatever God asks of us, if we open ourselves in faith to the glory that Christ promised to those who follow him, we will already begin to know God’s kingdom. Then we will understand Jesus’ parable that the kingdom is like a treasure buried in a field or a pearl of great price. The kingdom is something we cannot see now, but it is near for those who see it in faith. It is joy beyond imagining.
The power and presence of the risen Christ fills us when God’s grace is in us, for that is what grace is: God’s life. It is a life that will endure forever in peace and love. This is the good news, the gospel, this was the preaching of Jesus, the proclamation of the 72, “The Kingdom of God is near.” Believe it, and in this faith and this hope, rejoice.

Blue Book Meeting
Transcribed from a live rosary recorded on a tape.
Jesus: I am with you in a special way. This is the 19th of August, 1996. On August 19th, 1917, My Mother appeared to the children at Fatima. I am glad that you are here, that you have come to venerate Our Hearts. It is through Our Hearts and through you that many hearts will turn their hearts to the love of Our Hearts. Do not underestimate the importance of this meeting here. Each of you were uniquely selected by Me to participate in this plan of the Father to help spread the love of Our Hearts throughout this world. Come to My Heart now. Come into My Heart and feel the warmth in My Heart, for this period in time will be a time of refuge for you, for you will be comforted by My love and the love of My Mother. I am Jesus, how I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
The Annunciation
1. R. Let us focus on the gentle and tender heart of the Virgin Mary. Let us think of how pure and how loving is her heart. This young, young girl and an angel comes and appears to her and asks her to be the Mother of God.
2. R. O Mary Immaculate, Mary most pure, Mary most holy, Mary our heavenly Mother, we come to you and we pray this rosary. We thank you and we love you for giving us this rosary. Help us to model our hearts after your heart. Help us to be closer to you and to be closer to the heart of your Son in this rosary. Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with the fire of Your love.
3. R. Who are we that God has given to us these great gifts of His love, that He outpours to us His abundant grace, that He gives to us this grace that we may unite more and more closer to the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus. We do not know why we have been chosen or why we have been called, but we have been called and this is a special calling that He has made to us. We see that the Father chose Mary from all women to be the Mother of God. We see how special Mary is in the eyes of the Father. Do we not see how special we are in the eyes of God that He has delivered to us these messages and given us this special calling, that He has chosen us and wants us to be so close in our hearts to Him, that He is giving to us this special grace because of His immense love for us? Do we not see that He gave great gifts to the saints, but that He is giving such grace to us, that He is communicating to us, that God is teaching us in this rosary to know Him and to love Him more, great gifts that even the greatest saints did not know? He has called us. We are special to Him. Mary was so special to the Father that she came into the world pure and without sin. He is giving to us this grace because of His love for us. We are very special. We are called and we are chosen by God for this mission.
4. R. And she was filled with the Holy Spirit, and the Word became flesh, and the Child Jesus was formed within the womb of the Virgin Mary, the Almighty God carried in the womb of a human person. This is the love God has for us. If God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son into this world, why do we not realize the great grace that He is giving to us, us gathered here, to be ever closer to Him.
5. Jesus: You have been called, and you have been chosen by Me, My dear ones, and I will give to you this special grace. Open your heart and let Me comfort you this night. Let Me fill you with My love. I am Jesus. I am here, and I want to love you in a special way
6. R. O Heart of Jesus formed within the womb of the Virgin Mary, O Heart of Jesus ever tender and ever loving, draw me deeply into Your Heart and let me feel Your love as it penetrates my very being and comforts my weary soul.
7. R. And as we go through our life with all our struggles and our trials, we know that there is refuge in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. So many struggles we encounter. So much pressure this day as we go about our life and try to spread God's Word. The devil presses on each one of us and makes our journey ever more difficult, but it is in going to the heart of Mary, it is in going to her womb, it is in being saturated by His life as we dwell in her heart and Jesus' Heart, that we will be comforted from the terrors in the night and that we will know love.
Jesus: My dear ones, the times ahead will be hard and will be dark. You must listen to these words that I speak to you. You must come and dwell in Our Hearts, for it is there that you will find refuge from the cold and dark world. I am giving to you this great grace that you will be joined in My Heart. This is My little army that I am sending into this world. Look around you at one another. I have joined you in one mind and one heart in a special way.
R. The angel appeared to the Virgin Mary, and the Almighty God was formed within her womb. We too will be formed more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus as we dwell in her heart and pray to the Holy Spirit to sanctify us. O Holy Spirit descend upon us and fill us with the fire of God's love. Fill our hearts. Move our spirits. Lead us from darkness and from depression, into life and love that is only found in God, for we are pressed on. We are knocked on all sides, but You, You are the Almighty God. Dear Spirit, come upon us and fill our hearts with Your life.8. R. I know in heaven that there is no anxiety, that there is not a struggle, that there is peace, that there is joy, and there is comfort. I walk this earth, and I am pressed on, on all sides, but I struggle and struggle, and I want to go to the heart of Mary. I want to find my refuge there. I pray to You, dear God, that I will be able to dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that I will know this place of refuge, that I will feel secure and without worry and anxiety for I know that it is there, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that there is peace, holiness, and love. I know that in Their Hearts I receive a great treasure.
9. R. The Almighty God chose the Virgin Mary to be the Mother of God. She is our model, pure and sinless. Let us go to her heart. Let us model our lives after the lives of Jesus and Mary.
10. Song: O Holy Mary
Jesus: I called and I was forgotten by many of My beloved souls that I loved with such love, but I have called to you this evening. My special ones, My Blue Book team I have called, and you have answered this call. I am Jesus, and thank you for coming, coming and spending this time in prayer.
I will nourish you with My Word. I will give you My love, and I fill you with My life.
Visitation
1. R. Mary made haste to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth, and when she arrived, the child within Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the presence of Jesus within Mary's womb.
2. Jesus: Do you love each other, My beloved ones? Do you know that I live in you and in your brother? I am calling you to love each other with such love, to join in one mind and one heart, to be kind and loving to one another, for the job will be accomplished. The Father's plan will unfold. Your job, My dear ones, is to love, not to be busy and to run around, but to love, to love first, to love God first, and to love one another. I will work through you, and the work will be accomplished in love -- love, love, love. I call you to love, to quiet your heart at this moment for you are anxious and afraid, but I call you to quiet your heart and to turn your heart to thoughts of love, to release all anxiety that you feel at this moment in your heart, to be lifted high in this hot air balloon, to let go of all of the cares in your heart and in your mind, to feel peace wrap you securely in it's embrace, to feel love in your heart, to know this peace. There is no fear. There is peace and love in God. I am Jesus. It is My peace I give to you. I am guarding you, and I am watching you at every moment. Release and surrender to My loving care.
3. R. How are we to each other? Do we love each other? Do we treat each other as we would treat Jesus? Do we look into the eyes of the other and see His reflection within them? He has given to us great grace, and we are filled within with His life. Let us treasure the presence of one another. Let us love each other. Let us focus on those things that He has asked us to focus on.
Jesus: My way is love, love of God, and love of one another. You are busy in your mind for many things, but I am calling you to love -- love, love, love. Release your minds and let Me carry the burden. I will walk beside you and guard your every move.
4. R. When we are baptized the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced baptized soul. We are to be Christ to one another. How are we treating one another? How does the world see us this day? Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth, and the child within Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy.
Jesus: It is joy, My beloved ones, that I ask you to carry in your hearts, joy, peace, and love. Let go of the burdens that you hold in your heart, for My way is love and this is My job. It will be accomplished. You must surrender and let Me work in you. Do not busy yourselves with the papers and the work. Surrender and go to Me, and I will carry the load. Your job is to love.
5. R. Within the Heart of Jesus is love. All treasures are found in His Heart. Let us go and dwell within His Heart that we may taste of these treasures, that we may be embraced with His peace and His love, that we may carry His joy to this world. We pray to You, God, to give us this grace in this rosary to make our hearts, hearts of peace and love, to help us to let go of the anxieties and all of those things that hold us bound, that we may be the lights that shine in this world, that we may be more and more as Christ wants us to be, Christ to one another as we visit one another. As Mary carried Christ within her womb to her cousin Elizabeth, let us be reflections of the Christ that lives within us and treasure this great gift that He is alive, and He lives in our hearts.
6. R. If I am left to myself, dear Lord, how I struggle and how wretched I can be. I need this grace. I need Your grace to be this reflection of You in this world. I beg You to fill my heart and my soul with Your love, that I may carry Your love into this world, I want You to live in me and operate in me, so I can do what the Father is asking me to do this day. I am dependent on You.
Christ came into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He was born a naked baby, dependent on His Mother, It is in realizing this dependence that we will grow in our holiness, for we too are the children of our Mother Mary and of the Father. We are dependent on Them.
7. Song: O Holy Mary
8. Sing: My soul rejoices in God, my Savior. My spirit finds it's joy in God, the Living God.
Jesus: I am alive. I am alive. I am alive, and I live in the hearts of men. Open your heart that I may fill you with My life, that you will be the reflection of this life in the world this day. Surrender. Let go of all of those things that hold you bound, and come to Me as the little, dependent child of your Father.
9. Jesus: I am with you. I am not far away, but I am close to you. Do you feel Me this close to you? Surrender and let Me touch your heart. Let Me fill you with My love.
10. R. He came into this world a little baby, a little, tiny, naked baby. The Almighty God, all powerful and almighty, the King of Kings, God, humbled Himself and came in the womb of a human person. Why are our hearts haughty and proud when He shows us the way, and His way is a humble way? His way is always love. His Heart is not haughty or proud. His Heart is gentle, tender, loving, and kind. The child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the presence of the Almighty God. We tap so lightly on His Heart when His Heart is a treasure of endless gifts, a treasure that He wants to give to us, and we ask for so little when He has so much to give. O Heart of Jesus, O treasure beyond all treasures, outpour Your grace to us and bathe us in Your precious love.
Jesus: I am alive. I am alive. I am alive, and I dwell in your graced baptized soul, My beloved one.
Song: Ave Maria
The Birth of Jesus
1. R. It is our place of refuge if we go to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We want to be bathed in His precious love and saturated with His grace.
2. R. O holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, how tenderly we love You and how we want to be so close to You. Dear God, fill us with Your grace that we may know this true treasure that is found in dwelling in Their Hearts. We see in the stable the Child Jesus, the Almighty God, a naked, little baby born to the Virgin Mary, and we look at ourselves and see our haughty hearts. This is the Almighty God. Why are we so proud in our hearts?
3. Jesus: My beloved ones, I come to you and I ask you for your love. I want you to love Me with gentle, tender love. I came into this world a little baby. I was laid in a manger, a little, little, tiny baby. Will you love Me? Will you give Me your love, for I am waiting for this love from you? I am Jesus. I am alive, and I am with you. Come, My dear ones. Come into My Heart and tell Me of your love.
4. R. Jesus is the light of the world. The Almighty God, all powerful and almighty, and He humbled Himself and came into this world in the womb of a human person. We must go to Him with hearts that are humble and pure, that are kind, and that are tender. We must strive always that our hearts will be hearts likened to His, that we live our lives to love God and to love one another.
Jesus: This is My call to you, My beloved apostles that I am sending into this world with hearts filled with My love, that you carry the message of My love into this world, but your hearts must be pure and gentle, tender, loving, and kind. You must come to Me and beg for the grace. You must come to Me that your heart will be turned to a heart of love.
R. It is in the womb of the Virgin Mary that we are sanctified through the Holy Spirit, that we are molded more into this image and likeness.
Jesus: You do not understand the great mission that I have called you to, My beloved ones. You must come to Me. You must beg for purity in your heart for you will be the leaders that will carry this love into this world. You underestimate the importance of this mission to this world and to My Church. You must be born in your heart to a heart that is gentle and loving and kind.
5. R. And His light shone in the darkness, and it was so bright against the darkened sky. Do we see the light as it shone in Bethlehem? Do we see the brightness in contrast to this darkened sky? Do we see His life and His light from our eyes and from our face as we go to Him and we are saturated with His life? It is this life that will light up the darkness in this world today, but it will not be with haughty hearts and hearts that are filled with pride but with hearts that are gentle, kind, and loving, hearts that dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, hearts of holiness, hearts that are pure.
Jesus: And the hearts will shine across the land as you give your hearts to Our Hearts.
6. Song: O Little Town of Bethlehem
Jesus: You are My stars that go by in the darkness this day, and it is through you that My light will shine to all those you touch. Give Me your heart. I am waiting for you, and I will fill you with the brightest light, and you will radiate against the darkened sky and shine as the brightest lights in the night. I am Jesus. I am all powerful and almighty. You, My dear ones, will be molded into My image and likeness, and the world will know My life and My love through you.
7. Jesus: I am alive. I am alive. I am alive, and I live within your heart.
8. Song: Come Unto Me all Who are Weary
Jesus: My way is peace, and My way is love. You must come and dwell in My Heart.
9. Jesus: I want you to love Me, My dear ones, all through the day to tell Me of your love, to share with Me all your thoughts that I may be one in you, that I may live in you, that I may operate through you, that I may touch others. As you go about this world, I will touch My beloved souls, and this world will be lighted with My love.
10. Song: The Rosary Song
Song: Ave Maria
The Presentation in the Temple
1. R. Oh Jesus, give us the grace to give our love to You. Give us the presence of mind to focus on You at all times, for we are weak and we are afraid. We need this grace to help us to do all those things that You are asking us to do.
2. R. The Child Jesus was taken to the Temple by Mary and Joseph. We see the dependency of Jesus on Mary and on Joseph, but we are so haughty in our hearts, so filled with pride, so filled with control, but God shows us His way. His way is always the way of love. His way is to follow the Father's will. As we meditate on the mysteries of this rosary, we see how Jesus and Mary always followed the will of the Father.
3. Jesus: My dear, sweet ones, satan is pressing down on My beloved apostles, for he aims to stop you. You will carry the messages of My love to this world. You must pray for strength. You must pray to St. Michael to help you to battle against these forces that are coming against you. I am Jesus. I am protecting you and guarding you. I am allowing you to be tested and to fall that you will know how dependent you are on Me.
4. Jesus: You must not waver. You must not give in. You must be strong. You must come to Me. You must pray the rosary all through the day, for the rosary will give you strength against the evil one. I am Jesus. I am guarding you, and I love you.
5. R. Why do we think that our life should be so easy? The prophet Simeon told Mary that a sword too would pierce her heart. How Mary suffered as she walked beside her Son. She knew from this prophecy of Simeon how He would suffer, and every time that she looked at her Son, she knew of this prophecy. Her heart was constantly aching from the prophecy of Simeon. In all of the joy, there was constant nagging within her heart, for she remembered these words at all times, and as Their lives unfolded, each of these prophecies came. Mary's heart was crushed.
6. R. Our heart is many faceted, for within our heart there is love, there is thirsting, there is wanting, there is comforting, there is sorrow. Jesus knows the way of our heart. Jesus knows our every thought. He knows our every desire. He probes the mind and the heart, and He understands and loves us. Mary knew sufferings in her heart. It is in going to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we will be comforted by the Hearts of greatest love. We do not stand on the outside and cry to Them, but we go to Their Hearts when we are suffering and in pain, and They take us in the embrace of Their love and we know peace.
7. R. Think of the seven sorrows of Mary. In each sorrow, we see the interaction between her heart and the Heart of her Son. Look into the eyes of Jesus as Mary looked into the eyes of Jesus, and Jesus looked into the eyes of Mary on the way to Calvary. There was such sorrow in Their Hearts but such joy to see each other in such love, for these are the Hearts of greatest love. Let us be wrapped in this embrace of Their love. Let us pray for the grace that we will know this rapture of Their love, that we will carry this love out to this world that is suffering and in pain, that we will not walk around with glum faces and show the world our suffering face, but show the world a face that is filled with love.
8. R. See Mary as she stands beneath the cross of her Son. See the sorrow in the heart of His Mother, but the joy to know what this meant for the world. Our hearts are many faceted. At one time we can experience such joy and at the same moment such suffering.
9. R. It is only Jesus that knows our heart so well, every pain and every joy, for He probes the mind and the heart. He knows where we have been and where we are going. It is in going to His Heart that we will find the treasure of all treasures – His comfort and His love.
10. Hail Mary
Song: O Holy Mary
R. It is in dwelling in her heart that we will be so close to our beloved Jesus.
Song: Ave Maria
The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple
1. R. When Jesus was twelve years old, they took Jesus to the Temple, and He was lost in the Temple.
2. R. Experience the feelings within the heart of His Mother as she searches for the Child Jesus.
3. R. Experience the joy within her heart when she finds the Child Jesus.
4. R. Mary stood beneath the cross, and she saw her Son as He hung to His death. Within her heart was a mixture of joy and sorrow, for she knew a lot from the prophesy of Simeon.
5. R. O heart of Mary, so much knowledge in her heart, for the heart of Mary knew sorrow, and the heart of Mary knew immense joy, the heart of Mary that dwells most perfectly within the heart of her Son, the heart of Mary that is all pure, all tender, all loving, this sinless heart. Let us go and dwell in her heart.
6. R. How many of her children this day are in darkness and will be lost forever to the fires of hell. Mary has called out to me continually to pray this rosary for her little, lost children in this world. Jesus was lost in the Temple. Imagine within the heart of Mary the great joy when she found Him. Imagine within the heart of Mary the great joy when the children of darkness turn their hearts to hearts of love, towards hearts that are rooted in God. We are the children of light. She is asking us to go into the dark world and to tell the world about the light of her Son, to tell them about His love, to lead the children in darkness into the light.
7. R. O Lady of Light, help us to be children of light, to go to the children in this world that have turned to darkness to be a witness to them, a witness to the light.
8. R. It is in dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we will know His love, that we will be the children of light marching in the darkness.
Jesus: You are My little army that I have called here. I have formed you. I have guarded you, and I have given to you this special grace to come to Our Hearts. As you dwell in Our Hearts, you will be saturated with Our love and you will be the reflection of this light in the darkness.
9. Jesus: You do not comprehend the immensity of this mission to which I have called you, My beloved ones. I am begging you to pray, pray fervently that you will know the importance of this mission. You have been called, and you have answered this call. Listen to Me for I speak to you. This is an urgent message that you come to Me and give yourselves to Me, and you will be My army marching with hearts of love in the darkened night.
10. R. O little, lost children in this world, O little lost children we pray for you. We pray for ourselves, and we thank You, God, for these great gifts that You have given to us this night, and we ask You to fill our minds and our hearts with the gifts of the Spirit, that we may carry out whatever it is that the Father intends us to do to help the souls that they will turn to the light, that they will know God. We thank You, and we love You.
Song: Ave Maria
July 7, 2013
From Fr. Joe's homily at Mass
R. We breathe in and breathe out –
We take in, but we have to breathe out
In taking in the spiritual things – we have to breathe
out in love –
We pray for vocations at all our Masses, but we have
to breathe out – to go out to spread love, to live as
God wants us to. Some people will think we are
weird, sometimes, but we keep doing what God
wants anyway
Some wolves may tear us apart, there were many
martyrs –
But the Apostles were rejoicing for they had much
success.
We just prayed two weeks for religious freedom –
Catholic Universities were judged by the government
not religious enough to have the exemption of
health care of abortion –
Give to Caesar, what is Caesar's and to God what is God's
Give a Gift that lasts

Guiding Light
- Reflect on the Word
Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle
B — The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and
reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal
concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a
sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this
day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We
believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as
priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and
Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our
congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand.

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 - 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 |
Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". 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 |
