                January 22, 2016

                R. Our life is not our own –

                We were called by God to say yes.
 

 

   

                R. We have been given so many beautiful
                Churches.

                    I love to go to Church here while
                my brother says Mass, St. Boniface
                was so beautiful at Christmas.

                    In Rome there are so many beautiful
                Churches.

 

 

                R. Also in places all over the world.

                    It is so sad when the beautiful
                Churches are destroyed.

                    We have been given so many gifts.
                Men have so much talent to have
                erected such beautiful structures
                and God deserves such honor as
                beautiful structures erected to
                Him.

                    Can you think of a world where
                all men were trying to use their
                talents for the building of the
                Kingdom of God?

                    We can see how many times
                men - given so many unique and
                beautiful talents become so
                self-seeking and selfish using
                their gifts for their own promotion
                and yet the beauty over the
                centuries of men who put their
                talents to work in erecting
                such beauty in Churches and
                art - still remain.

                    If we can see the beauty of
                Churches that remain – can we
                see the contribution of saintly
                men – who gave their all trying
                to make the world a better place –
                like Pope John Paul II.

                    Men like Fr. Carter who was
                never thinking of himself, but
                knowing God called him to write the
                Priestly Newsletter and send over
                17,000,000 to priests and hierarchy
                to try to make the world better.
 

     
 

                R. When we look at the big picture
                we see the writings of Fr. Joe –
                all the homilies as we go through
                the different cycles.

 


 

                R. This is the age where God called
                these two men to share their gifts,
                not just during their lives, but
                in the books to be preserved –

                    The Churches are still preserved,
                very many of them, the books are
                solid they are gifts – almost like
                art that can be preserved. To have
                all of Fr. Carter's Priestly Newsletters in
                books I thought was a treasure,
                a real contribution.

                To have all Fr. Joe's homilies in 9 books
                I felt was a real gift to priests.
                The Good News doesn't get old –
                God loves us, God wants us with
                Him in heaven – Baptism is a sacrament
                and God dwells in the graced
                baptized soul –

                And God helped us spread the Priestly Writing
                through other priests and other books from
                Fr. Pasquini, too.

                    God has asked us to publish the
                Blue Books. To write about when
                Mary did appear in Clearwater
                on the building. Blue Book 16 is
                7-10 months after her first
                appearance and while she still
                appeared. Mary appeared
                7 1/2 years.

                    The Blue Books record what she
                said as she appeared in Clearwater, Florida –
                Blue Books 13, 14, 15, 16 –

                    The daily messages 1998 - 2004
                I write daily as Mary appeared in
                Florida and the Daily Message was to
                be read from Florida at 6:20 prayers.

                    Can you imagine if men saw
                the big picture and would not
                horde their gifts like they belong
                to them, but realize we are here
                to do all we can with our
                gifts of loving and giving
                to make the world better for
                our grandchildren and great
                grandchildren – to show we
                still have a little place in
                the children we had that are
                living in the world.

                    When we think of healing the family
                tree – we say that

  

  Exodus 34: 6-7

Then Yahweh passed before him and called out, ‘Yahweh, Yahweh, God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in faithful love and constancy, maintaining his faithful love to thousands, forgiving fault, crime and sin, yet letting nothing go unchecked, and punishing the parent’s fault in the children and in the grandchildren to the third and fourth generation!’ 

  

                R. We have been called to the virtuous
                life – to have faith – we still
                know the witnesses of great
                faith in the scriptures Chapter 11
                of Hebrews.

                We know we are to hope of eternal
                salvation for ourselves and for
                others.

                We are to love and love never
                dies.

                Being angry – destroying things
                in anger and fighting, destroys
                more than buildings and churches
                and treasures.

                    Fighting against others hurts
                people's hearts.

                    Selfishness makes men horde
                their God-given gifts – like they
                own them and they deserve
                them.

                    God has given us so much.
                God is love. God has called
                us to love – to give to build
                a Kingdom of love.

                    A man who is angry and closed
                down, who has been hurt and
                punishes others for their bitterness
                really hurts a lot of others
                when he holds a title where
                he is called to represent Christ.
                Think of how an angry man,
                who uses his position to punish
                others for his angry heart who
                is called to spread the Good News
                so it goes on and on.

                    A person can keep a place
                locked tight because they
                want their own space. Even a
                place as big as the Vatican –
                they can think of every excuse
                to close the doors for their own
                space.
   


 

                R. Pope Francis opened the doors.
                Let us open the doors of our
                hearts.

                    Pride is all about the prideful
                person. They don't even see
                the Mission they are called to –
                they can use what God has
                given for their own use and
                keep others out.

                    Open the doors of our
                hearts, oh Lord. So we
                are children who spread
                the Good News.

                    Jesus said yesterday –
                it takes a lot of energy –
                day after day to be the same closed,
                angry person, hurting and blocking
                what He calls us to do.

                    To love
                    To build the Kingdom of God
                    To do the work He asks us to do –

                    This is disorder.

                Jesus said: "It takes a lot of
                    energy to horde things and
                    be jealous and envious
                    and angry instead of having
                    the joy of living virtuously
                    as He has called us to do" –

                    This is order.

                    To being witnesses in our
                lives.

                    To seeing that what God has
                given in our lives goes on
                after we have passed this
                life.

                    But on our death bed, what
                will be the condition of the
                selfish man's heart? He
                won't change there.

                    The changing, God calls us
                to, is in the NOW of our
                lives. The living in virtue –
                in loving – we are commissioned
                in baptism to spread the Good News –
                Mary called us almost a century
                ago at Fatima to spread
                the devotion to her Heart and
                Jesus' Heart –
                    the Hearts of greatest love –
                we can stay in our box and
                on our death bed we will
                still be in our box.
 

 

                R. Mary called us at Fatima to
                    conversion –

                The more we go to the Hearts of
                    Jesus and Mary the more
                    pure will be our hearts –

                Song: Give me Your Heart oh Jesus

                R. We are here to pass it on
                    This is not our end –

                When we are angry and shut
                    down our whole life –
                    we won't pass on the
                    love God called us to
                    give –

                The meeting of loving in
                    teaching, ministering,
                    in politics, in parenting.

                How many parents can look
                    back and say – we were
                    learning ourselves and
                    we could have loved more –
                    spent more time at home
                    if that was possible –

                God is calling us to let go to
                    His plan for us –

                When we horde our life and
                    are not working to get
                    out of our woundedness
                    in selfishness – it won't
                    happen tomorrow or on
                    our death bed – we have to
                    ask God to change us –

                We have to admit we are here
                    to be converted, that we
                    have bad habits –

                We are here to prepare ourselves
                    for heaven and to leave
                    love here behind.

                Heaven is for lovers –

                We are to leave a legacy
                    of being like Christ
                    here behind us –

                Jesus gave Himself to His
                    death on the cross
 

                R. We have a free will –

                What are we giving to the
                    men on earth today?

                What are we giving to future
                    generations?

                Where will our hearts be on
                    our death bed?

                Ready for loving in heaven?

         

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

 

22 Years Ago

  A message for the Earth from Jesus

January 22, 1998

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

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

Priestly Newsletter Book II - September/October 1997

Scriptural Reflections

In all this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed. She realized that life is not a process a person masters by carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being open to God's personal and loving guidance.

Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call. Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than hers.

Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be done to me".

 

 

               

               January 14, 2016

Dear Friends,

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.

If you read Fr. Joe's book like I did on the 13th you can see how awesome it is.
 

It helps me understand what is happening in the writings during the liturgical year.

It is so very good, it makes me so eager to live the liturgy in my life,
live in the liturgical year.

Well we have sent over 13,000 of Fr. Joe's new cycle books since the beginning of November to priests and hierarchy
all over the world.

It can enrich so many lives with the weekly sermon rooted in the Word, the Eucharist,
the liturgy,
the Mass,

Baptism, love and unity.

When a priest uses the book weekly he focuses on the Bread of Life to feed the people.

Say a priest says 4 or 5 Masses weekly
Think of how many souls could be reached with the people attending Mass.

Fr. Joe speaks of love and being a member of the body of Christ, living in relationships
all in the context of the scripture.

We see salvation history and its ups and downs -
we see our calling from God
and we see our part in salvation history.

God calls - we respond.

The body of Christ can help the world to raise up to greater perfection.

What are you doing to help this coming election in the United States.

This book of Fr. Joe's can help so many people every week.

We have sent over 13,000 books out to priests and hierarchy to every priest in your state.

We have sent the books to so many priests in the United States and all Bishops.

Can't you help us.

We also send a Prayer Brochure with the Shepherds of Christ prayers praying for the priests, the Church and the world.

We pray in adoration 8 days a month with usually 6 Masses for you, your family and the priests the Church and the world.

We pray in 24 hour adoration before the Exposed Blessed Eucharist in China for all this and for you.

The China mortgage is due tomorrow

and we are struggling because of giving so much money to the Ministries.

Can anyone help us with a donation.

Also we are printing another 20,000 of Fr. Joe's books
going to all the priests in the United States.

This can enormously help for this coming election.

A weekly Priestly Newsletter used about the scriptures and everything at Sunday Mass.

Please we need your help.

If you want to know what to do to help the world and especially all active priests in the United States please help us with a donation.

We need your help today.
Thanks for your prayers and help in advance.

God Bless you and love you.
