                R. We struggle with ourselves - knowing ourselves –
                God has given us a body – Our body is such
                a beautiful creation – how it operates, how
                we see, how we hear and taste and smell.
                God has given us a body to reproduce and
                have babies, another human person can
                be formed from a mother and father's love.
                A baby can grow in the womb of a woman,
                we call mother and she can feed the
                baby with her milk.

                    God intends us to be united, to work
                with each other, be dependent on each
                other – love each other – have families –
                children grow and parents grow old
                and everybody is still united in families,
                in communities, in Church, in
                unity with others. What a blessing
                to have community and love with others –
                What a blessing - to be! A blessing to be
                alive, to have friends who care for us
                and who we can share life with –
                "No man is an island"

                God intends us to walk hand-in-hand
                living according to God's will, obeying
                the commandments and loving by His
                Plan, by His rule.

                We see the problem when Adam and Eve sinned.
                We see the disobedience of Eve to God's rule.
                Rebelliousness, God gave us the Plan, He
                wants us to follow, but He wants us to
                follow with our free will –
                wanting to know love and serve Him as He
                desires.

                When God is first in our life –
                    things work out - we have happiness,
                    even in suffering.

                Jesus: And I have given you tremendous
                    blessing to help build My Kingdom –

                Life is a journey, not an event.

                You come, you grow, you learn, you
                    serve God, you live to spread
                    the good news –
                    to love others –
                    to love God with your whole heart,
                    your whole soul and your whole
                    being and to love your neighbor
                    as yourself.

                I am with you.

                In the Sidney Rosary I give great graces
                    for healing in body, mind and soul.

                Let go and pray –

                Live to be more and more one with Me –

                Don't skip your time with Me –

                This is your treasure, time alone
                    with Me before the Blessed Sacrament.

                Let go now and trust in Me.

                Be at peace –

                Live to love and serve God –

                Live to be obedient to God's rules –

                Live in love.

                Be mindful of one another –

                Be as your heavenly Father wants you
                    to be.

                Pray this prayer

                Dear heavenly Father: I want to
                    live to be as You want me to be –

                Please give me the grace to be as
                    You want me to be –
                    to give myself to You freely –
                    because I love You, heavenly Father,
                    I pray in the name of Jesus, in
                    the Holy Spirit through the intercession
                    of my heavenly Mother, Mary.
                    Thank You, I love You.

   

Spiritual Communion Prayer

                        Dear Jesus – we want to make a spiritual
                        communion, we cannot receive You
                        now, but we want to know Your
                        presence deep in our heart –
                        deep in our soul – Oh God fill us
                        with Your presence that we can
                        just focus on You and Your love
                        for us now – Love deep in us –
                        Oneness with You –
                        Quiet surrender to be alone in
                        this moment with You in our heart
                        in deep love –
                        We love You so much our beloved
                        God –

   

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.

 

                R. God has given us a body and soul –
                The body is to serve the soul.
   

Genesis 3: 1-7

    Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

    

Genesis 3: 15

I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.'

    

                R. Let us be so consecrated to her
                    Immaculate Heart.

                Mary was conceived without sin.

                Mary has appeared to me 19 years
                    delivering messages for us
                    her children, warning us if
                    we do not listen.

                We have a natural desire to be happy –

                We cannot be happy without God.

                Come to me Lord and Possess my soul.

                Our goal is to be in everlasting
                    happiness with God in
                    heaven for all eternity –

                Everything in our lives is to be
                    focused on this goal.
   

 

 

                R. Pray for Fr. Joe's knee.
   

Fifth Sunday of Easter

May 2, 2010

HOMILY – After giving her catechism class a very thorough lesson on the Ten Commandments, the teacher quizzed her students. “What is the First Commandment?” she asked. She called on a boy who was staring into space. She knew he hadn’t been paying attention to the lesson. The boy thought a bit and answered: “The First Commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.” (from Preaching Resources, May 2, 2010, published by Celebration Publications, Kansas City, Mo.)

This one comes from Reader’s Digest, May, 2010, pg 176. A lady asked her friend if she attended Church. Her friend just shook her head. “I haven’t gone in a long time. I’m sure I’m a lost soul anyway. I’ve probably already broken all seven commandments.”

I’ll say more about commandments in a moment, but there is something I want to say first. Has it ever happened that you, as it has to me, to tell a joke and forget the punch line or try to tell a story and couldn’t remember the ending? Without the punch line or a good ending to a story the hearers are left wondering, “What’s that all about?” We are coming to the end of the book of Revelation where we find the main point of this Book. Sure, the Book of Revelation predicts war and suffering and turmoil – often in symbolic ways that are very frightening. The study of history confirms the dire predictions of this Book. Turmoil and suffering are part of life in this world. When Paul says in the second reading that we have to undergo many hardships in order to enter God’s kingdom, is he’s saying that we will never face hardship if we choose not to follow Jesus? Of course not. It’s just that following Jesus has its own unique set of difficulties. I believe that those who do not have Jesus in their lives suffer even greater difficulties because they do not share his wisdom and experience his love.

Turmoil and suffering, which touch every person’s life are not the main point of the Book of Revelation. The main point of Revelation is victory, victory for those who have faithfully followed Christ. Our second reading today begins this last part of Revelation. It describes, as best it can and in a symbolic way, the new heavens and new earth that God is creating.

One avenue that leads to that new work of God’s creation is the new commandment he gives us, “As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.” You might wonder what’s new about this? Here’s what’s new: we who are human are commanded to love in a divine way; we are to love like the Son of God has loved us. How can we do something that is so far above our nature? It would be like teaching a worm to recite Shakespeare. It seems impossible. Jesus would not ask the impossible of us. We can love with a divine love only when we have God in our hearts helping us to love in that way. The consequence of that kind of love in us will be that we will share in God’s peace and God’s joy, a peace like the world cannot give and a joy that is God’s own. “I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.” (John 15:11) For all this to happen, it follows that we need to stay connected with Christ and allow him to live in us. He does so in a powerful and unique way through the Eucharist we now celebrate. Amen.

 

   

Acts 14: 21-27

    Having preached the good news in that town and made a considerable number of disciples, they went back through Lystra, Iconium and Antioch. They put fresh heart into the disciples, encouraging them to persevere in the faith, saying, ‘We must all experience many hardships before we enter the kingdom of God.’ In each of these churches they appointed elders, and with prayer and fasting they commended them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe. 

    They passed through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia. Then after proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia and from there sailed for Antioch, where they had originally been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. 

    On their arrival they assembled the church and gave an account of all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the gentiles.

 

Revelation 21: 1-5

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’ 

    Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."

  

John 13: 31-33a, 34-35

When he had gone, Jesus said: 

    Now has the Son of man been glorified, 
    and in him God has been glorified. 
    If God has been glorified in him, 
    God will in turn glorify him in himself, 
    and will glorify him very soon. 
    Little children, 
    I shall be with you only a little longer. 

    I give you a new commandment: 
    love one another; 
    you must love one another 
    just as I have loved you. 
    It is by your love for one another, 
    that everyone will recognise you 
    as my disciples.

   

                Sing: Glory Glory Glory Lord
 
 

Fifth Sunday of Easter

May 2, 2010

INTRODUCTION – (Acts 14:21-27; Rev. 21:1-5a; John 13:31-33a, 34-45) Last Sunday we heard a little bitabout Paul’s first missionary journey. He led many Jews and Pagans to faith in Jesus as the Messiah, while at the same time arousing much opposition. In today’s first reading we are still with Paul as he makes his return trip back to the Christian Community in Syria which had originally inspired and sponsored his mission. In spite of the harsh treatment he had previously received from his opponents in those places, he is not afraid to revisit cities where he had already preached. The name Antioch could confuse us for there were two cities named Antioch. The first mention of Antioch was a town in central Turkey where a mob of unbelievers ran Paul out of town. The second Antioch (the place where his missionary journey began) was on the east coast of Syria and it was one of the four largest cities in the Roman Empire. Paul was returning there to report on the successes and challenges of his mission. He acknowledged that at times it wasn’t easy: “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”

   

                R. Come to me Lord and Possess my soul.

   

 

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

 

From Blue Book 11

May 29, 1996 - Immaculata Church

Jesus Is the Gate, Mary Is the Gate Keeper

(Jesus appeared in the Sacred Heart statue and gave me this understanding)

R. God has chosen to reveal all this to me, I am a woman. Mary is our spiritual Mother. Mary needs to be recognized as our spiritual Mother and loved. Many women have not been respected in the Church.

    God chose Mary from all women to be the Mother of God. God chose a woman to bring His Son into the world. God did not choose a man. He came as a baby in the womb of a woman.

    Mary gives Him His physical life. A woman gives Jesus life through her milk.

    Jesus shows His dependence on a woman. He is held in Her arms, He is fed with her milk. He is cared for with His physical needs by a woman.

    Many men in the Church have become prideful, when they leave out Our Lady.

    God comes in such humility. Mary is the Queen of humility. St. Joseph is so humble, so pious. Look at the leaders of the Church. Many do not have room for Mary - she is a woman; men can try to be over God, over Mary – Mary is our spiritual Mother.

Jesus: As long as hearts are proud and filled with control they cannot unite in love to Mine. My Heart is a humble Heart. My Heart is a Heart of love.

    I came to you in the womb of a woman. In the Eucharist, I come to you in the hands of the priest. I am humble of Heart. I am meek and mild, gentle and serene. I am the light. There is no light in the proud heart. There is not light in those who seek control for power. I came a helpless baby in a stable, in the womb of Mary.

    Many of My priests have hardened their hearts. Their jaws are stiff. Many men are hard in their hearts. I am Jesus. I am your all. I am perfect. My ways are gentle and loving. I show you a gentle, loving Heart.

    Are My priests gentle and loving? They do not have room in their hearts for My love. Many do not speak of Mary. Some seek for male dominance. They do not comply with the Father's will.

    Mary is Mother of the Church. Mary is Mother of their Christ-life. Unless they become as children, little and dependent on their Mother and Father, they will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.

    So many men's hearts are filled with such pride. Their hearts are seeking power and control.

    I ask you to come to Me. You cannot come with pride and a need for control in your hearts. You must surrender to Me. You must be the holy, little children of My Mother. I showed you the way. I came into this world, the Almighty God, in the womb of a woman. I suckled at the breast of My Mother. She gave to Me My life.

    The priests must lead the way. They must proclaim Mary as their spiritual Mother. They must surrender themselves to their Mother. There is such male dominance among so many priests. They cannot surrender to a woman. They will not give their heart to Mary. Consecrating your heart to Mary means giving Mary your whole self, your life, being as a  baby in the womb, a baby depending on your Mother for the milk that will nourish you and give you life. Hearts that are haughty are not hearts of love.

    The devil has waged a war against Mary in the Church. Many priests have wiped the words of Mary from their lips. Many priests do not want to say the name of Mary in the Mass, they say the name of My Mother with such coldness in their hearts. They would like to wipe her name out of the prayers. This, My sweet, loving children, is the crafty work of the devil. How this offends the gentle and pure heart of My Mother - to be rejected by the prideful hearts of many priests. She wears the thorns around her heart for she is rejected by many of My chosen priest sons.

    Mary: I am Mary. I am Mother of the Church and Mother of all My beloved priest sons. My heart suffers for the pride and arrogance in many of the hearts of my beloved priests. The devil has attacked the hearts of many priests with pride and male dominance.

     I am Mary, Mother of all my beloved priests. Holiness is rooted in humility. I am the Queen of Heaven and Earth. I am the Mother of the human race. I am the Mother of God. With such pride in the hearts of so many, if they sin mortally and do not repent, they will not enter into the Kingdom prepared for them.

    I have been chosen by the Father to be the Mother of His Son, Jesus. I am espoused to the Holy Spirit. The pride in the hearts of many arrogant men have led them away from my Motherhood.

    If I am chosen by the Father as Mother of God, how arrogant are the hearts that refuse my Motherhood and make themselves supreme, not needing a spiritual Mother.

    It is pride that will be the downfall of many cold hearts.

    Jesus came into this world in my womb. He is the brightest light. He showed His might and His humility at His birth.

    If God was born a helpless baby of a woman, who are men that they think they do not need a Mother – that they are supreme.

R. There is one way to enter into the Kingdom of heaven – it is through the pierced Heart of Jesus. He is the gate. Mary is the gatekeeper. We enter through her pure and tender heart. This gives our sinful souls entry into deepest chamber of His heart.

   

John 10: 1-10

'In all truth I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a bandit. He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gate-keeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognise the voice of strangers.'

Jesus told them this parable but they failed to understand what he was saying to them.

So Jesus spoke to them again:

In all truth I tell you,
I am the gate of the sheepfold.
All who have come before me
are thieves and bandits,
but the sheep took no notice of them.
I am the gate.
Anyone who enters through me
   will be safe:
such a one will go in and out
and will find pasture.
The thief comes
only to steal and kill and destroy.
I have come
so that they may have life
and have it to the full.

 

John 10: 11-21

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
   for his sheep.
The hired man,
   since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
   and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
   and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
  because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.
And there are other sheep I have
that are not of this fold,
and I must lead these too.
They too will listen to my voice,
and there will be only one flock,
one shepherd.
The Father loves me,
because I lay down my life
in order to take it up again.
No one takes it from me;
I lay it down of my own free will,
and as I have power to lay it down,
so I have power to take it up again;
and this is the command
   I have received from my Father.

    These words caused a fresh division among the Jews. Many said, ‘He is possessed, he is raving; why do you listen to him?’ Others said, ‘These are not the words of a man possessed by a devil: could a devil open the eyes of the blind?’

   

R. Mary is the singular vessel. Mary is Mother most pure.

    We go to her sinless heart. We are cushioned by her heart and she takes us in her heart to the Heart of her Son.

    How could we then go to the deepest center of His Heart and unite to the Father, who is all perfect all holy, unless we first go through the purity of Mary's sinless heart? We are sinners, she is sinless.

Jesus: Oh, pride of men, pride to want to do it all alone. Pride of arrogant men, led by the devil away from their heavenly Mother.

    Heaven is as it is. All of the human minds together cannot change God to their liking. When will you learn to surrender to Me? When will you learn to come with an open heart instead of a closed and arrogant heart?

    A heart that is closed is closed. Mary opens the heart with her love. It is through the action of the Spirit the heart is sanctified.

    Anyone who closes their heart to Mary, closes their heart to deeper, deeper union with God.

R. We are human persons. Mary is the highest human person. She is the gatekeeper to the Heart of Jesus.

Jesus: There will be one flock and one Shepherd. There is only one way to enter the fold. You must come first through the heart of My Mother to come into My Heart.

R. Jesus is our Savior.

Sing: A Song form Jesus

R. Mary stood beneath the cross and Jesus gave us Mary as our Mother. We cannot look at the scene of the Crucifixion and leave out Mary.

    Mary is the Singular Vessel. Mary is Mother of our Christ-life. I see the cross, but the warmth in my heart is magnified by His Mother beneath the cross. There is relationship between Jesus and Mary. To understand this relationship, I understand more the relationship between Jesus and me.

    My heart is His, but my heart is only His through Mary's Heart.

    God picked me to receive these messages. The Father picked Mary to be the Mother of all men. I have been rejected by men, male priests – they do not like to think of a woman knowing more than they do, or a woman getting a gift they did not get. They do not see that, by the fact they are receiving these messages, God has given to them a great gift. They have a problem receiving the gift through me, a woman.

    Jesus came in the womb of His Mother. Jesus is the greatest gift. Only God can really satisfy us. If we reject Mary, we miss the deep love that He gives us through Mary. We suffer because of our pride in not accepting the Father's will.

    It is the will of the Father to give this gift to this world. He has chosen many men as His chosen ones to receive the gift. Because of their pride they have minimized the importance of this gift to this world. They do not see that God is truly communicating in these rosaries and messages and they are a major part of His plan. Instead, they see a little girl or woman and they minimize the importance because it cannot come through a woman, they think.

Jesus: This is the Father's Plan for this world. Mary came to three children at Fatima. These writings are a major form of communication from Me to this world. I have revealed secrets from My Heart and My Mother's heart through the visionary and mystic, Rita. To continue to minimize the importance of these writings is to cause many souls to suffer. The words may not be altered except by Fr. Carter. These writings are for future generations. The content of these messages is far beyond your understanding. I come as I come. I give to you a great gift. The writings of Fr. Carter and Rita will greatly help in the renewal of the Church and the world. You focus on the negative aspects because the devil is blocking the publication of these messages. You are being tricked by His handiwork. If you want the funds for the Movement you must circulate these messages and aid in their publication. Millions and millions of souls read these messages to change their hearts. You are called and chosen. You are blessed. You are gifted. There is great cause for rejoicing for God has visited His people. I have revealed to you such great revelations and you fight over the words and miss the messages given.

    Your hearts must be filled with love, only in LOVE, only in oneness, only in holiness, will you move across the world.

    Every tendency to criticize and to be negative is a step backward. The lessons I teach are My lessons of love. My love is burning and on fire. My love is strength, My love is the force that will move the hearts. Hearts rooted in criticism will tear the movement apart. You are ungrateful for this gift given to you. All must learn to love. All must pray to the Holy Spirit to fill hearts with My love.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ–." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
