                September 26, 2011

                R. Days go by and soon the days have
                    ended, but even though the elderly
                    can tell younger men the truth
                    the message does not sink in —

                Life is to be lived like a symphony
                    that is to be played, not silent
                    musicians frozen at their instruments.

                Unless the notes are played the music
                    is not heard, unless the life lived
                    for God, the life existing in darkness
                    and searching can be dead, dead,
                    dead —

                Days wasted while one waits like
                    a bird on his perch waits
                    sometimes day long in his cage —

                Jesus: But what cage have you tried to
                    put My messages and My
                    Movement in, to help renew the Church
                    and the world —

                    Oh Bend the stubborn heart and will,
                melt the frozen warm the chill, guide
                the steps that go astray —

                    Waiting is the game and sounding
                on the notes given in the symphony
                of life, with all the players playing
                their parts according to the Divine
                Conductors Plan — in His way —
                written in His script — in His timing —
                in the mind and heart of the Father's will —
                as He intended it to be orchestrated,
                fine tuned as one tuning up for the
                fullest expression of the melody
                of this life, one life you have
                to live on this earth and one day,
                one precious day at a time, one
                moment at a time — like the notes
                on the score of the sections of the
                symphony music, but you can
                be the player sounding sour notes
                day long, wasting the time of
                the other players and all suffer
                as your horn you blare as if
                to say "I am the head cheese, now
                and forever and if you forget it
                the tenseness of my notes can
                out ring the softness of yours
                filled with the Spirit of God"

                Why do you labor day long in your
                cages of empty, self-promoting,
                angry thoughts - when reality is —
                I am God, I am light I give you
                a garden, a woodland, with the
                melodies of life the sweetest birds
                singing in harmony under the
                direction of Jesus —

                    But the vile man comes with
                his pride to say "I am wounded,
                but I will show you I can win
                over you any day"

                    While the wise man follows
                the 'yellow brick' road of light —
                led in harmony with others by
                the Holy Spirit over ones head — filling
                the heart with burning love, soft and
                supple — not tense — strung tight
                like the string on a violin ready
                to break.

                    Why the pride you know it all
                son of man — creature you are —
                the wise are those open to the
                touch of the Holy Spirit, soft
                supple — loving —

                    The man closed ponders himself
                day long, can live in a cage of
                sadness, anger, envy, jealousy
                and who bears no fruit, but
                can live slothfully, telling himself
                sins of omission do not exist for him —

                    The wise man sees through the
                eyes of faith, the vision of the Heavenly
                Father, the Divine Conductor and the
                orchestra plays the tune of
                star-dust, snow falling sweetly
                on the bowed trees, rain-drops
                watering the earth, the moon
                casting its light above the waves
                of the ocean playing the swooping
                tones so — please to hear — now
                bask by the moon-light above
                such splendor —

                Sing: The Sound of Music

                    Do you know the sound of My
                voice — If I can make the tiniest
                bug with such symmetry, why
                should your prayers not sound
                so beautiful by My direction from
                a heart of love — praying in accord
                with others — not one angry and
                caged in playing on a string
                pulled tight for 10, 12 years
                because you know it all —

                    I tell you about the voice
                of My Mother — on March 30, 1995
                (BB6C) you never heard her
                cry as she delivered this message
                and it was far different than
                a message on Tuesday August 27, 1996
                received on Tom's Farm
                Mary's message — the wise
                listen and learn — the fool
                will argue to be above — to be
                right — for details to prove
                the day of the week —

                    When the teacher, teaches
                and the students argues to
                prove the teacher wrong — what
                does the student learn and what does
                he gain, but utter pandemonium
                for others, trying to listen —

                    But the proud can be in
                a cage of pride, whose
                walls become more dense
                as the crusts form so thick
                on their blinded eyes — The
                wise man walks in faith —

                His mind is open — always seeing
                    the limitless, unboundedness
                    of the mystery —

                The man bolted to the earth,
                    learns little, competes
                    constantly and causes
                    discord, as the way he
                    plays the endless notes in
                    the symphony —
                    accomplishing little,
                    making a clang and
                    the others are impeded
                    to make the music of
                    the Lord for his, discord —

                What is discord — I question —
                    A man went out to sow seed,
                        so the grain would grow,
                        but on the way he was
                        lured by a fiddler who
                        mesmerized him, so, and
                        he underhandedly stole
                        his good seed and gave
                        him the seed of weeds —

                When the man went to plant
                    what he sowed was
                    a field of weeds and
                    no fruit did he bear —

                But, had he done what he was
                    called to do he would have
                    sowed the seeds and his
                    field would have yielded fruit
                    a plenty for his efforts —
                    now he would starve and suffer —

                The man is the man of pride — when
                    given all he needs to do a
                    great and bountiful work —
                    on the way, haven been called
                    by God to produce fruit
                    for the Kingdom —

                Satan lures him, by pride and
                    jealousy, covetousness
                    (using his brother as if
                    he possesses him to nurse
                    his wounds)
                    anger and

                The man sits on a pity pot —
                    locked in a cage of "nobody loves
                    me, or treats me right"
                    And then in retaliation he
                    plants black weeds that
                    spread and hurt the
                    good man's crops next
                    door to him

                Besides planting not seed to
                    build the Kingdom,
                    but weeds to choke
                    out others good seed
                    planted in love —

                I know your every thought
                    and the darkness of your
                    hearts, filled with pride and growing
                    not in virtue, but in roots
                    tangled in sin from your
                    deadly works —

                Jealousy acted in retaliation
                    against your brother is
                    poison for your soul and

                I know your willingness, when
                    you choose it and retaliate
                    against another —

                You grow in the roots of discord
                    and like the virtues of
                    prudence and temperance
                    and justice and fortitude
                    that act like hinges

                You willingly choose to not do
                    what is right or
                    do evil toward others
                    and not control your
                    desires to punish —

                You know obedience is to
                    be followed for your
                    superiors and telling
                    the truth, but when you
                    sin, to lie to yourself it
                    becomes a vice where
                    you could have grown
                    in goodness and virtue

                One little light, can light
                    up the black night —

                But no light will not shine
                    as a beacon light —

                My Heart is a Heart on fire —

                I am God

                You were created in My image and
                    likeness, but your
                    tendencies toward evil can
                    grow or you can live
                    virtuously —

                You are responsible —

                You are to live a holy life —
                    follow Mary the perfect
                    handmaid of the Lord —

                I am the Suffering Servant

                I am the Son of God —

                I speak here to teach you —

                The wise listen to My teaching
                    and learn My ways —

                My ways are not your ways —

                I give you insight into the
                    Mystery of My love

                I teach you of union with
                    Me and with each other —

                The sinner keeps sinning
                    if he doesn't try
                    to change his evil ways —

                The thunder claps and if he is
                    dark in his heart — he keeps
                    it up — for he can choose to
                    let no man tell him what to
                    do and his cage becomes
                    his own caged in walls —
                    driving him from everlasting
                        happiness if he sins
                        mortally —

                Living virtuously is to
                    the ones living holy lives

                Their eyes never go from the
                    big vision —

                They see through the eyes of
                    God —

                Their end is not found in
                    competing against just
                    rules and superiors —

                The Divine Conductor is their
                    ruler —

                Their life a melody to be played in
                    His orchestra —

                He is always fine tuning his
                    performance to be more and
                    more in the image of God —

                He is docile
                        open
                        correctable
                        under authority
                        loving his brothers
                        working for being one in
                            the community —

                His is not the horn - blaring to
                    be recognized or the violin
                    with the string ready to
                    pop —

                The man who sees himself all
                    day — gets himself in
                    a cage

                You were created to grow more
                    and more in the image and likeness
                    of God —

                A baby is little and grows —

                A person is to grow in his
                    soul to be in the image
                    and likeness of God —
                    filled more and more with My
                        life in them —
                    To put on Christ —
                    To eat My Body and Drink My Blood
                        and learn to work as a body
                        with your brothers —

                This is your day to live as God
                    wants or to listen to the devil
                    who tells you, your hurt feelings
                    are your god — more important
                    than building My Kingdom
                    or loving God and others —

                Satan tells you to be competitive —
                    be isolated —
                    disobey —
                    be jealous
                    be prideful — to try to make others
                        be slavishly dependent
                        on you

                Satan wants you wrapped
                    in chains, unhappy,
                    closed —
                    working out your old
                    wounds day-in-day-out
                    acting - out on others

   

Prayer for Union with Jesus

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

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

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

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

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

                    Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.

 

                R. There are some plants (fish) anemone
                    that if touched close up instantly —

                We see the human heart —
                It is alive —

                In a message May 25, 1995, Jesus
                    shouted "I am alive"
                                "I am alive"
                                "I am alive"

                    "I am treated like a dead object" —
                    I cried for 3 days after this experience and message —

                In the ecstasy of December 15, 1995 —
                    I knew oneness —
                    I knew God —
                    He allowed me to experience Him
                        in such depth —

                    I knew the Father
                    I knew the Son
                    I knew the Holy Spirit —

                but I knew so deeply insight into the
                    Mystery of the Trinity —
                    God as one —

                In the beatific vision we will
                    know God — be wrapped in
                    love's embrace —

                Experience celestial bliss —
                    JOY

                Know love —
                Know the fullness of life —

                But to go to heaven there must
                    be holiness —
                    purging —
                    readiness
                    openness —

                A person deeply wounded can close
                    their arms across their chest
                    and think it isn't safe to
                    trust any one —

                A person with a big wound on the
                    bottom of their foot is not going
                    too far —

                He tries to heal it so he can
                    use his foot —

                What happens if he ignores it —
                    then he can't walk —
                    It may get worse —

                We have all been wounded —

                At 5 my mom died —
                    that was a wound for a
                    five year old —

                But we must learn to grow and
                    to be healed of hidden
                    wounds that can make
                    us keep turning inward,
                    focusing on ourselves,
                    not trusting —

                Living against God's will for
                    us, to grow spiritually —
                    to open up and be ready
                    for heaven —

                But heaven is a reward promised
                    to those who love and serve the
                    Lord —

 

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

 

                R. At the time of Moses the Hebrews
                    were enslaved by the Pharaoh —
                    They were enslaved by him —

                The devil wants people to be dead
                    inside, he works through the
                    deadly sins —
                    Seeking dominance for dominance
                        sake,
                    Jealousy,
                    Pride,
                    Envy,
                    Slothfulness,
                    Gluttony,
                    Lust

                The devil wants men to think about
                    themselves all day —
                    how they have been offended by
                    others, projecting old wounds —
                    deep wounds stashed inside on
                    others, blaming them for their
                    own darkness, negativity,
                    hate inside —

                God is light
                God is love

                Heaven is a place for those who
                    have learned to be open
                    here below — to be full of
                    grace in heaven —

                God is love
                God is light —

                The devil wants people enslaved
                    like the Hebrews were to
                    the Egyptians —

                A person acting in jealousy, control,
                    envy, anger, pride is like
                    the Hebrews forced to build
                    monuments to Pharaoh —

    

Haggai 1: 1-8

In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of Yahweh was addressed through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel governor of Judah and to Joshua son of Jehozadak the high priest as follows,  'Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "This people says: The time has not yet come to rebuild the Temple of Yahweh." ' through the prophet Haggai, as (And the word of Yahweh was addressed follows,) 'Is this a time for you to live in your panelled houses, when this House lies in ruins?  So now, Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "Think carefully about your behaviour. You have sown much and harvested little; you eat but never have enough, drink but never have your fill, put on clothes but feel no warmth. The wage-earner gets his wages only to put them in a bag with a hole in it." Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "Think carefully about your behaviour. Go up into the hills, fetch timber and rebuild the House; and I shall take pleasure in it and manifest my glory there — Yahweh says.

 

                R. So what have we done to spread
                the love of the 2 Hearts —

                    So what have we done to learn
                to make our lives a prayer united
                to the Mass and help others do this?

                    The devil wants slaves, building
                Monuments to him that end
                up, not in heaven, but send
                the person to hell or purgatory
                as they work for satan and building
                him up — closed in, selfish,
                wounded, no personal relationships —
                seeking isolation — division with
                others to be alone, disconnected —
                Making ones life a life of darkness,
                sadness, not constant love,
                service and light as God wants of
                us — Choosing the father of lies as
                our Master and Lying to ourselves
                as we blame others for the fate
                of darkness we can choose for
                ourselves —

                Closed down —

                Locked In —

                When others give us love we
                    can enjoy the old familiar —
                    Love and hate relationships —
                    that are not constant
                    love — consecrating ourselves
                    to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire
                    burning love and punishing others
                    who are loving —

                The devil is hate —
                The devil wants games —
                Not kindness, compassion,
                    going out —

                Arms spread open —
                    giving ones all as
                    Christ came and showed us —
                    taking flesh and dying and
                    shedding His Blood in
                    service — doing God's will —
                    Being open — arms open
                        on the cross

                Jesus — open your arms —
                        raise your arms —
                        is that uncomfortable for
                            you —
                        It shouldn't be —
                        Let the Holy Spirit fill you

                        The devil is darkness
                        He wants you saying —
                            "I will not serve" —

                        I took flesh to teach you
                            about God —

                        The more closed you are —
                            the more you are not
                            thankful for My gifts to you —
                            punishing those who are My light —
                            the more you close in —
                            close down and
                            worship satan —
                            you can become so enslaved
                                to worshipping satan —

                        Sad, selfish —
                        trying to blame others for all
                            your free choices to think
                            negatively, unloving, angry,
                            jealous thoughts - that
                            rob you of life —

                        A person rooted in Me is
                            thinking of others —
                            seeing the big picture —
                            Loving God and others and
                                Serving God as you
                                have been commanded
                                to do —

                        You choose your thoughts —
                        You choose to close in —
                        You have a free will —

                        Listen before it is too late —

                        Doing God's will is
                            Loving God and others
                            Serving God and others —
                            Being open —

                        OPEN

                        So I can dwell and
                            operate in you to
                            build My Kingdom —

                        You can tear down — when
                            you have been called
                            to build up —

                        Read the 1st reading again
                            Study it

                   

Haggai 1: 1-8

In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of Yahweh was addressed through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel governor of Judah and to Joshua son of Jehozadak the high priest as follows,  'Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "This people says: The time has not yet come to rebuild the Temple of Yahweh." ' through the prophet Haggai, as (And the word of Yahweh was addressed follows,) 'Is this a time for you to live in your panelled houses, when this House lies in ruins?  So now, Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "Think carefully about your behaviour. You have sown much and harvested little; you eat but never have enough, drink but never have your fill, put on clothes but feel no warmth. The wage-earner gets his wages only to put them in a bag with a hole in it." Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "Think carefully about your behaviour. Go up into the hills, fetch timber and rebuild the House; and I shall take pleasure in it and manifest my glory there — Yahweh says.

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 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

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

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

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

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
