                September 8, 2010 - The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

                Darkness and light —
                Time — we live in time
                Marriage is based on the teaching of Jesus Christ
                Marriage was instituted by God —

                The beauty of the ocean
                A busy city there below
                Summer skies turn into fall —
                The leaves fall from the trees
                After a display of royal beauty
                God the Creator

                God the Creator of marriage —
                If God can give us so much beauty
                A baby, so sweet, little fingers and toes —
                How beautiful the mystery of love —
                God in His Plan for marriage and in friendship —

                How do you describe the sun —
                The beauteous ocean
                A fall day with trees seen reflecting on waters
                    below —

                How much more then, you must agree
                    is love, relationship, harmony,
                    fruitfulness — the mystery of that
                    which is eternal —

                Oh men you see like blind men and a milky
                    glass —
                The clouds are white —
                The sky is blue
                The stars are studded —
                How beauteous far more love —
                    that God gives to us —
                    Why can't we be students to learn
                    from Him and learn to love —

                Stiff-necked — Walls — Blindness
                These are from men's hearts —

                God is love —
                Everlasting love —
                God is faithful
                God is trustworthy
                God is forever

                Man can make a mess and still want to
                    make others live by ice cold, unforgiving,
                    hateful hearts —

                You would think he would want to learn from
                    God about eternal love —
                    What a fool to make an ice-cold-cube and
                        crawl in it and try to force others
                        to live by this coldness —

                God is love —

                    Stubborn are many who 'hate' instead —
                    Who weave a rug of mud and doom —

                Look into my heart —
                Look into the Heart of Jesus —
                Thirst after knowledge of His love for us —
                Read the Blue Books and know His love for us —
                Reality knowing God's Plan.
                How soft is the snow God created —

                How beautiful the snow covered earth, the
                    trees —
                    the beauty of a lantern in the night
                    where it is softly going toward
                    evening and the snow lightly falling
                    past its light —

                How beauteous it is when one sees the
                    light of more and more what is real
                    as created by God where once he
                    was caught in his own blindness —
                    darkness by his own prideful
                    making —

                One who is wise is open and ready to be taught —
                    seeking insight into the hidden mystery of God —

                One who spends their life trying to teach
                    themselves they know it all —
                    misses the mystery of discovery and
                        insight into the hidden mystery of God —

                Oh God let me know more and more of Your
                    perfect love — more and more about Your
                    interior life —

                The Love of God —

   

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

The Mystery of Christ and Christian Existence

... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

   

                Some days are not as beautiful as others —
                    the beauty of a warm day and the ocean waves —
                    the blue sky —
                    The white of snow - falling in the near
                        night against a lantern and
                        the covered ground - the snow
                        coated trees —

                But there is the barrenness of winter
                    the gray skies —
                    the coldness —
                    a really bleak day

                Is not life like this, the death, the
                    resurrection —
                    the ups, the downs —
                    but I know Him —
                    the Victory is won
                    the rock rolled away from the tomb —  

                But reality is God's reality —

                Snow white Christmas' are memories
                    we have deep in our hearts —

                But it is love in our heart that brings
                    us joy —
                    Love for our Creator —
                    Love for His Goodness

                I see the night just beginning — not yet
                    dark, but the lights show through
                    the windows —

                So it was October 31, 1991 — darkness
                    against light because Jesus spoke
                    to me that early evening while
                    the tricker-treaters went about their way —

                Light for me against darkness
                Early morning when Jesus woke me and gave
                    me His letters of love in God's Blue Books —
                    Letters of love for all to know reality —
                    The love of His Heart —
                    His Intimate Love — Reality
                    Reality — The Love of the Father, Son and
                        Holy Spirit for us —
                    Reality — The Love of the 2 Hearts for us —
                    Reality — The foreverness of eternity —

                    Can you really not take the leap to
                        trust God —
                        to love God as He commands us to —
                        to love our neighbors as ourselves —

                    When love is according to the Father's will
                        it lasts forever —

                    Love — real love as God desires —
                        never dies —

                    We choose to not love when we do not
                        LOVE because we have a free will to love or not love.

                We are to be just and
                Give God what is His due as well
                    as give others what is their due —

                Save yourself for what?

                When God commands us to love Him and
                    love others as ourselves —
                    for our eternal reward —

                At any moment a cancer can come
                    and snatch us from our life
                    here below —

                Life is promised to no man —

                God calls us to love so we will be
                    more and more one in Him —

                Jealousy, envy, superiority, anger,
                    etc. — come from giving into
                    our wounded human nature —

                Live - Life —

                Don't give into the impurities that
                    rob us of life —

                I never thought Fr. Carter would die and
                    He died in his body, but
                        he moved on —

                Jesus said to me
                    "Would you have me deprive a soul
                        of his eternal reward"

                Let's live now with what we are given —
                    Why live stubbornly and deprive
                    ourselves of instruction and
                    life —

                God calls us to a vision of Himself —

                Oh God open our eyes and our hearts to
                    not waste our precious gifts
                    in blackness and remorse —
                    bitterness and pain —

                The Victory is won — Jesus rose from the dead

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                God calls us to love Him — NOW
                    to give ourselves to Him — Now
                    To serve Him now —

                The devil doesn't want us to serve God —
                The devil wants us to be unloving —

                God gives us Himself in the Eucharist to
                    teach us about love

                God has given us this Movement to teach
                    the world about the love of the
                    2 Hearts —

                We have light today —
                We have love today —
                We have the gifts God gives us today —

                God be before me —
                        beneath me —
                        in me
                        Help me to love, my God —
                        Help me to serve

                Life is promised to no man —
                God wants our gratitude for the gifts
                    He has given us —

                It is God's love for us that keeps us in
                    existence —

                The more we are likened to Christ —
                    the more we are great lovers —

                A lover is being one likened to Christ —

                Jesus endured pain out of love for us —

                Jesus teaches us about service —
                Jesus teaches us about suffering
                Jesus teaches us about love —
                Jesus teaches us about Victory!!

                Christ died on the cross for our sins —
                We can say 'yes' to darkness —
                We can say 'yes' to slothfulness —
                We will be accountable for our
                    days and what we did to do
                    or not do God's will —

                We are to live to be what God wants us
                    to be —

                We are created by God, He gives us a free will —
                    We can choose to turn away from Him —

                It is like walking in a black night —

                When we could have the light of day to guide us.

                Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

 

                  What is love?

                God is love —
                The more we are likened to Him —
                The more we love —

                Finally we will surrender —
                    When we die — we have to surrender —

                What a pity to live your life to
                    hurt yourself, to punish others,
                    to be bitter and to think
                    God will reward this 

 

                The road was dark and the gray
                    skies pressed in
                    trees looked like dead men
                    standing —

                Life is full of ups and downs,
                    but joy is found in seeking
                    God on dark days and
                    on sunny ones —

                Love is learned by men who
                    are wise —

                Those who close their hearts —
                    stay where they are —
                    man has a wounded human
                    nature —
                    He was created to know, love
                        and serve God —

                        23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION

                            Man is created to praise, reverence and serve God 
                        our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.

                 

                Parents are the first teacher of
                    most children —

                What they do that's not pure they teach
                    to their children —
                    God is the ultimate teacher —

                It is awful to lose someone we are
                    close to and love, but we know
                    about eternal life —
                    We know that for those who love and
                        serve the Lord they live forever —

                Life is short —
                We have a job to do here for God
                We keep growing older —
                That alone can make someone angry —
                This is God's world —
                This is God's Plan —
                If we are angry at God we need to look at that —

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the wicked foe defend me
at the hour of my death call me
and bid me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
For ever and ever. Amen.

Letter to Jesus

R. I played at Mass yesterday and I heard everyone
singing and praising God - I was thrilled
at all of them praising You. I kept
playing from the heart. I felt Your presence
and I felt it last week in Communion -
like a pressure on my chest knowing You are
this close to me. I know You are with me.

Jesus, help me to find Your light deep inside
me, a light only You can give. I can flounder
around inside for years in darkness, but
You can turn the light on and fill me
with your peace, only You can fill me with
Your peace.

God speaks: Peace, I leave My peace. I give peace
to you.

R. Peace for me? Lamb of God, You take
away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Breathe in the richness, the fullness
of God, the richness, the fullness of God.

 

Psalm 91: 2

saying to Yahweh, ‘My refuge, my fortress,
my God in whom I trust!’

 

R. Jesus, here is my heart, please put on Your
spiritual bandages. And as You place a
spiritual bandage on each scar, the scar
is healed by the power of Your grace and the
bandage disappears.

 

Psalm 91: 2

saying to Yahweh, ‘My refuge, my fortress,
my God in whom I trust!’

 

R. And You are here, Lord. You stand
across the room from me and You come
close to me clothed in white. Your
body is surrounded by
a beautiful light and You come near me with
Your power and Your love. Your strong but
gentle hand You place on my head and
through my body is a feeling of warmth,
joy and peace, and I know I am
touched by Your ever present love.

   

October 29, 1991

Jesus I have sent a shower of grace healing and
    nourishing you.

You are My child and you are precious in My eyes,
    I love you.

Breathe in the goodness, the richness of God.

R. I will not cease praising Him, my God.

 

Matthew 11: 28-30

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

 

R. Glory and praise to You, Oh Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Psalm 66: 1-2

Acclaim God, all the earth,
sing psalms to the glory of his name,
glorify him with your praises,

 

R. You have touched our hearts and now we listen to Your word.

My heart is on fire with Your love deep within me.

Fill me, LORD.

Oh, Spirit of God, guide my going out and my coming in - for You have touched my heart and You will show me the way of the Lord.

R. With a contrite heart for my sins I beg of You to shower Your grace deep in my soul.

I don't want to leave, I want this peace and love to linger and be there with me all day, I want this warmth inside to continue with You Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit and God the Father. My Father, Who made me special, my Father, You created me as Your child. I have a divine lineage. My Father is God. I am His precious child.

God speaks: I have healed you and you will be set free - go in the mercy of God.

R. Permeate my heart with Your love so I may know You more and more.

As a child of God, I have dignity, I am somebody - what would God not do for His child?

October 31, 1994 - Evening

Note: Messenger: I prayed the rosary at 6:30 at the grotto at the Center because of the smell from work being done in the chapel. It was a beautiful day. I started to cry through the Agony in the Garden because of sufferings in the early morning. I am so connected to His Heart since I saw the open Heart today and how He suffered for all the neglect and how many neglect Him this day, and how He loves them so much! It was very intense, but joyful. I love Him so much. I know how much He loves everyone and how they neglect Him. I couldn't explain the immense sorrow. Mary's statue lit up, especially at the end, and her face looked very alive to me.

    (add: I saw Mary's face, then it changed to Jesus' profile! I then saw a lot of people, they were the Apostles and Saints. Marty also saw the vision.)

HALLOWEEN

I went with Joe's class to a concert. The kids were so bad on the bus. They talked about the devil at the concert.

I realized the intense need for children to receive the messages of God's love. I felt intense suffering for the children and cried for the children of the world. I was suffering for the little children. I felt so sick because Jesus is rejected and forgotten in the tabernacle! I cried under the crucifix for a half hour. I am so weak right now, I don't want to move.

I am suffering for Mary's little lost children in the world, suffering and experiencing heartache for the neglect of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Today is Halloween. I had intense suffering for the loss of little children parading around as little devils. They do not even know God!

Sorrowful Mysteries

Before the Blessed Sacrament at Our Lady of the Woods

Transcribed by Melanie

Song: A Song from Jesus 

Agony in the Garden

1. R. Let us focus on the presence of Jesus in this room with us. Think of our beloved Jesus hanging from the cross, see Him vividly before your eyes covered with blood and withered. Think of the love that He has for each one of us. Thank You Jesus. Picture Him so clearly. He is still in the last moments before His death on the cross and He is saying, that He is giving us His beloved Mother as our mother. Can you put yourself there and be under the cross with Mary. Can you realize that Jesus gave us His Mother, present there and think of how it would be, if you were standing under the cross and you heard Jesus call out. If you saw Him with the nails in His hands and His feet and you saw Him covered with blood and withered in all that pain and anguish. Think of His great love for us. Jesus gives us His Mother. I feel within my heart a chill to be there as I envision myself at the crucifixion. But, Jesus is in this room with us. This is the same Jesus, truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist. I heard Him today call out and call out and in such sorrow. My heart was torn within me to hear what I heard, of how He is longing and waiting for His beloved souls to come and to be with Him. He says He is ignored and forgotten. Jesus is here. Focus on the presence of the Almighty God, the all powerful God, in this room.

Jesus is longing for our love in this rosary, to outpour our love to Him. Jesus wants to hear from our lips and from our hearts how much we love Him. As we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary, let us pray for the grace to join in deepest union with Him, to feel this deep love that He has for us. Pray for the grace to give this love back to Him. Pray to know more how to love our beloved Savior. Tell Him we are sorry for the neglect we give Him. We are sorry for the sins of men and the way Jesus is being treated this day, by the men in this world.

2. R. Jesus how I love You. I see You there hanging on the cross and giving me your Mother and I feel warmed in my heart, for I feel Your love and I want to give my love back to You. How many times I offendYou by my ways and how I long to love You more, as You deserve to be loved.

3. R. Jesus is a person. Jesus is present and He is in this room, no less present than the day He knelt in the garden. I envision myself kneeling next to Him in the garden. I am here with Him now in this room for He is truly present in the Eucharist.

4. R. Why are we so busy that we do not have time to spend with Jesus. Why is it, we do not realize that He is the Almighty God and that in one second He can reveal to us such insights into the hidden mysteries. Jesus shares with us great gifts. Jesus makes our load light when we go to Him. Jesus said to the apostles “Can you not watch one hour with Me.” The apostles slept. We think how could the apostles have slept? The Almighty God was there. Jesus is as present this day in the tabernacles of this world. Jesus is forgotten in many Churches. Jesus is forgotten and ignored. Jesus is crying out today. Today under the cross I heard Him say - how He suffered in the passion for the neglect given to Him in the Eucharist. Jesus says, He is truly present in the consecrated host and left alone many times in the Churches where He is present. He is here with us now. Jesus wants our love. He came into this world a little baby to be loved by us, Jesus is longing for us to open up our hearts to let go of all the debris and anger toward any person and to fill our hearts with love.

5. Jesus: I call out, My dear ones, to purify your hearts. In every Mass offer yourself to My Father united with Me in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I was nailed to the cross. You too, will suffer, suffer with Me. Identify with My suffering! Give yourselves entirely to the Father. You die to yourselves and your sinful ways, pray to the Holy Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and likeness.

6. R. Say the Morning Offering. Go to Mass: “Through Him, with Him and in Him”. Jesus calls us to unite in such oneness in the Mass.

Jesus: Cleanse your hearts of debris and unite with Me. What could be more important than uniting to the Almighty God?

7. R. The drop of water is mixed with the wine at Mass. We are little specks compared to the Almighty God and He loves us creatures so much that He wants to become one in us. Jesus’ Heart was in such anguish in the garden. Jesus was rejected by those He loved so dearly. Jesus gives Himself to us.

8. R. The heart and its ways. We know how it is to have a heartache. We do not even know minutely how, Jesus suffered to see the sins of all men in the garden. He saw the sins from all time, of all men, all the hatred and all the anger, and all the offenses committed against God, the ingratitude to God. God came to this earth in the womb of Mary. Mary, a human person, that shows us a little His immense love for His creatures. After the sin of Adam and Eve He came that we could be saved. Look at how He is offended this day, by our sins and the sins of the world.

9. R. Let us help make reparation to the adorable Heart of Jesus for our sins and the sins of all the world. Let us come clean and admit our offenses against God - how we blocked God’s love because of our jealousies and selfishness and anger and pride!!

10. R. Eternal Father I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world.

Sing: A Song from Jesus

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Jesus: I am with you in all of the struggles that you are experiencing. I am guarding you and I’m watching your way. You go it alone My little ones and I am so close to you. I am attentive to your every breath and your every heartbeat. You do not know how I watch you and how I guard you. You walk away from Me many times as a little child. You think how hard your life is and I am the Almighty God and I am with you in every breath that you take. Surrender yourselves, let go, take both of your feet off the ground and let go. You hold on to foolish things and I want to possess your soul My dear ones. Surrender, surrender, surrender and feel My presence within you, the Almighty God within your breast, I am truly present in the Eucharist in this room and you worry for such incidental things, let go.

2. R. See Jesus at the pillar, see Jesus’ skin torn from His body and lookinto Jesus’ eyes the eyes of deepest love. The blood covering His face, as they whip Him. Jesus stands at the pillar and receives the blows and accepts them. The Almighty God who at any moment could have stopped the treatment but accepts it willingly because of His love for us this day. Jesus is ignored and mistreated in the tabernacle today, in the churches. People walk by and do not even realize that the Almighty God is there and we should kiss the ground. The children that do not even know and He longs and thirsts and wants them to tell Him of their love. Can we add sweetness to the bitterness of this anguish during His passion, how He suffered for our insensitivity and anger and unloving way.

Jesus cries out, come to Me My beloved, I am God and I am waiting for you.

3. R. His love is tenderness, His love is kindness, His love is gentleness, His love is always in peace, His way is peace.

4. R. Outpour Your grace to us, oh God. We go to Mass and implore You to outpour Your grace. Help us to die to ourselves and to grow in holiness. Let us die to those things that are not of You: pride, anger, selfishness, self-promotion, whatever it is that, is in our hearts that blocks us from deeper union with You. Let us feel a cleansing at each Mass. We must die to ourselves and grow in greater life in God.

5. Song: I Love You Jesus

6. R. And in my weakness I am strengthened in Him. With His grace I can be molded more and more into the image and likeness of the Almighty God. The bread and wine is changed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, He is the Almighty God. We come to Him with a humble heart. With a heart that is so surrendering and yielding. Jesus works in us and we are transformed more and more into His image and likeness.

7. R. Give us the grace as we sit before the tabernacle. Give us the grace we need most in order to unite in deeper and deeper union with You.

8. Jesus: Why do you complain about the struggles that you are given? You can be drawn closer in suffering. Beg for grace. Accept the crosses and come to Me. I am waiting for you and longing to unite ever deeper with your precious heart.

9. R. I look into the eyes of the scourged Jesus covered from head to toe with deep wounds and blood. Parts of His skin ripped off His body and as I looked into His eyes I see the tenderness and the deep love that He has for each one of us, and I thank Him, I thank Him and I thank Him and I thank Him for the great gifts that He has given to us and that we know more and more about the Divine God.

10. R. We thank You, we love You, we adore You, we worship You, we thank You, beloved scourged Jesus, for the love that You have for us.

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Jesus: Die to yourselves My beloved ones and live in Me.

2. Jesus: So as you are in your heart, you will be in this world. Let go of any debris, trade any bitterness or anger for My love.

3. Song: Are Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us

4. R. We feel alone sometimes and Jesus is there and so close and calling out to us.

Jesus: I am with you at every second at every moment. I am guarding you and I am watching you. I am asking you to trust in Me, trust in Me. You must discipline your thoughts, for the days ahead will be hard and dark. You are My soldiers that I am sending into this world to carry the message of My love you must be strong soldiers. It is in your weaknesses that you are strengthened, for within your breast you know God dwells in your graced baptized soul and is giving you grace when you come and ask to love. Love God and love neighbor and love yourself as God wants. I give you grace to be holy when you come to Me and ask in docility and with a contrite, truthful, humble heart. How can you feel afraid when you know God is dwelling in your graced baptised soul? If your body is burned and you are handed over to your oppressors you will know peace in your hearts for the Almighty God lives and dwells in the graced baptized soul. I am truly Jesus Christ the Son of God and I am giving to you great graces to carry out the Plan of the Father. Surrender, let your hearts be gentle and your ways meek and humble. Be motivated only by the love of God.

5. Jesus: I am your spouse, I am your lover you are wed to the Almighty God. Do you take our marriage lightly? No commitment - IN and OUT behavior. I am attentive to your every need and ever with you. You miss our love affair, minute by minute, second by second, I love you. You must trust and surrender, pray for faith, My dear sweet, sweet children. You must have faith, do not give in to the temptations of satan to lead you from My Heart through pride and jealousy and anger, I am the Almighty God and I am present and with you in every trial and every struggle. In your trials you will know My presence with you if you depend on Me for your every breath.

6. Jesus: The seeds of time move exceedingly slow many men are blind, they are deaf and they do not hear, they reject the great graces that I am giving to them. I am giving to you graces in abundance. Open wide your heart and let Me unite in deepest union with you. As I become one in you, you will spread My messages of love to this world, if you have a holy, loving, truthful heart. For it is in your eyes and in your face, and in your hearts that you will help to change this world that is turned hard. Many hearts have turned to stone. Your hearts must be loving and soft and supple, obedient to God’s will and living to love and build My Kingdom.

7. Jesus: What have you to fear when God dwells within your breast.

8. Jesus: See Me as I sat on the throne crowned, with a crown of thorns and the blood poured down My face. My way is peace. My dear ones the Father loves you, surrender, come to My Heart I will bathe you in a bath of My love. Enter through the wound in My Heart, it is through this wound that you will fall into the great abyss, of My burning love and dwell there. When the world presses on you from all sides lay your head against My chest and enter My Heart through My wound and you will be secure in My burning love.

9. Jesus: Close your eyes and focus on your interior life, for I dwell within you. I am guarding you. I am watching you and I am giving you My abundant love.

Excerpt from Response to God’s Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God’s fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God’s selfexpression, the Word, immersed himself into man’s world. God’s inner self-expression now had also become God’s outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

10. Jesus: The heart and its ways. I know the ways of your heart. I know your every thought, your every desire, your every wish far more than you yourself. I know your fears I guard you and I watch you I gave My life for you. Will you surrender and trust in Me?

Song: I Love You Jesus

 

Jesus Carries His Cross

1. Jesus: The heart and its ways. I know your heart far more than you yourself.

2. R. Let us walk, the walk, of the stations with Jesus. Jesus was condemned to death. Jesus stood around so many men. Men that cried out! Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Crucify Him! The crowd, the angry crowd. How are we in our lives? Many stand around and shout awful things to us, did Jesus justify Himself? Jesus stood silent and accepted all that they gave to Him.

3. R. Did He say, oh but I am God, how could you do this to Me? Jesus is God, at any moment He could have stopped what was happening, but He stood silent. He came and it is through His blood that we are saved and He came to show us the way. Do we have an angry crowd that surrounds us? A crowd that shouts out sometimes it seems, crucify him, crucify him. How did Jesus respond to His attackers? What are we doing to Jesus today when He calls us and asks us to obey the Father’s Plan in love? What do we do when Jesus knocks on the door and we won’t let Him in, but open the door to the devil in vices we give into? Do you see the thief and do you open to Him?

Luke 12: 39-48

You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time the burglar would come, he would not have let anyone break through the wall of his house. You too must stand ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.’

Peter said, ‘Lord, do you mean this parable for us, or for everyone?’ The Lord replied, ‘Who, then, is the wise and trustworthy steward whom the master will place over his household to give them at the proper time their allowance of food? Blessed that servant if his master’s arrival finds him doing exactly that. I tell you truly, he will put him in charge of everything that he owns. But if the servant says to himself, “My master is taking his time coming,” and sets about beating the menservants and the servant–girls, and eating and drinking and getting drunk, his master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know. The master will cut him off and send him to the same fate as the unfaithful.

‘The servant who knows what his master wants, but has got nothing ready and done nothing in accord with those wishes, will be given a great many strokes of the lash. The one who did not know, but has acted in such a way that he deserves a beating, will be given fewer strokes. When someone is given a great deal, a great deal will be demanded of that person; when someone is entrusted with a great deal, of that person even more will be expected.

4. Jesus: How are your tongues, My beloved ones, your tongues inside your mouth the way that I enter into your body I give Myself to you. Guard your tongue as the doorway to your heart. Guard your heart in malicious ways of manipulating others through passive-aggressive attacks to provoke and hurt.

5. Jesus: I call you to holiness, I call you to a deep union with Me. It is in surrendering yourself that you will unite ever deeper to My Heart. Let go of any debris in your heart and pray for the grace to become ever closer to My Heart.

6. Jesus: Pray for healing in the Mass as you die to yourself. You offer yourself in sacrifice to the Father. Pray for the grace to be transformed more and more into My image and likeness. Unite in the Holy Eucharist in such deep union with Me. Be holy!

7. R. In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, offer yourselves to the Father and know how the Father loves you that He created you with such unique talents and that He gave to you such gifts. He wants you to be more perfected and to witness through your example - how you obey your superiors and live by the rules God put before you.

8. R. And His eyes peered into the eyes of His beloved Mother and she looked at her beloved Son and saw Him with the cross on His back. Mary saw Him when He fell to the ground. Mary sees us as we struggle and as we fall to the ground. Our beautiful Mother that is by our side guards us. Mary leads us on our journey to eternal happiness.

9. R. Jesus was stripped of His garments and they nailed His hands to the cross. Jesus came to show us the way, the way to new life is through His Death-Resurrection

10. Jesus: Do not try to do it yourself. Come to Me. Pray, pray, pray to be sanctified through the Holy Spirit. Depend on God. Surrender and know My Might and My helping you in the struggles.

The Crucifixion

1. R. Be there, stand there, and hear the crowd calling out, Crucify Him, Crucify Him and see Jesus accept the heavy cross on His back and struggle as He walks with the cross that is so heavy. See Him as He falls, His chin to the ground and He gets up and struggles. And His eyes peered into the eyes of His Mother. They called Simeon to help Him with the cross and Veronica wiped His face and He fell a second time. The children and the women wept over Jesus and He says to them “weep not for Me but for yourselves and your children.” Look at our children in this world today, look at the children. What about the children, what can I say when I see the Blessed Mother appear in front of me time and time and time again and say that the children will go to hell because of their mortal sins and their willfulness, their unrepented mortal sins. What can I do? I’m one person, one person I keep seeing Mary and she keeps saying some of my children will go to hell, some children will go to hell for their mortal sins. You must help me. You must help me. Jesus said on the way of the cross “weep not for Me but, for yourselves and your children.” Are we blind do we not see the children in the world this day? Do we not see that tonight we celebrate Halloween and the devil and all its goblins are out there! Not a word about Jesus, all the little children parading around like little devils. Jesus hung on the cross to His death that we could be saved. The devil is prowling the earth and He wants our youth. Mary is appearing and she is saying some of my children will go to hell. Look at your children, these are my children, she says, will you help me, will you help me, will you spread the message of my Son’s love? Can you see the face of Mary? Can you hear her call out, can you say “no” to her? Do you hear her at Fatima say that we need to consecrate our hearts daily, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Look what happened because they would not listen to the Fatima message.
 

From Our Lady’s Apparitions at Fatima

July 13, 1917

“During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

“You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

“The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. 12

“To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

“But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.” 13

12. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.4-5.13. Ibid., p.5.

R. We need to follow the practice on the First Saturday and make reparation to her Immaculate Heart. The peace of the world depends on this, but our tongues are stuck in our mouths and we do not speak and we are afraid, self-focused, angry - even me I am afraid to hand out the Blue Book to somebody. I pray for the grace to hand Blue Books to somebody. I pray for the grace to hand Blue Books to the world, for the children of this world are suffering and in pain. They are being taught such vile things in schools and on television and they have no reference point at all to even come back to. They need to be taught to know the love of Jesus and Mary. They need to know Jesus is calling out. Tell them, tell them. Tell the children. Mary is calling. Tell the children. Jesus is calling. Tell these children they have a loving Mother.

Mary: Tell them about my Son, tell them, tell them, tell them.

R. I am one person these messages are not for me alone, I am a messenger and you have been called here to help me to deliver these messages to this world. Look at the children, do we see them, the ones sinning mortally and they could go to hell. Do we see children, rebelling, dowe see what is going on at this moment. Do we know the suffering of Jesus and Mary and the souls that have rejected the love given to them. They can go to hell for their sins. Let us pray daily to the Holy Spirit to have the fearlessness of the apostles. Let us see for ever before our face, Jesus as He hung on the cross, let us look at the wounds in His hands and in His feet and in His side the holes in His head the blood as it teams down His face, let us stand beneath the cross of Jesus after we walk, the walk in the stations and see the love that He has. Go out. Look at the children in this world today. How can we stand by, help me that’s all I pray, I pray that someone helps me to circulate these rosaries and these messages to the children for my heart is in such pain. To take it to the schools, messages without messages just the words that Jesus is with us. He is longing for the love of the children. The children are our hope. Jesus said “reach the children and you will reach the world.” Children are full of energy and many do not know about Jesus. Many children do not even know how to pray, I am sick, I am sick and I am one person, I see Jesus and I stand beneath the cross. I kiss His feet on the crucifix - I kiss His wounds, the wounds in His feet. Mary, the Mother of the children calls out, “my little lost children will be condemned and will go to hell for their mortal sins and their willfulness.”

2. R. The Mass is so glorious, the Father is so loving, the Holy Spirit fills us with fire in our breasts and we feel the burning love of God within our chests. We are afraid many times to go out and to speak, Jesus is truly present in the tabernacle. See Jesus His arms outstretched with His hands pierced, and His feet pierced and His head crowned with thorns. There are crucifixes all around us, dear Holy Spirit give us the fearlessness to do the work that the Father has intended us to do and help us to reach the children.

3. Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son Jesus and my heart was torn within my chest as I watched His face covered with blood His hands pierced His feet pierced and my heart, in such anguish for the children that would lose their souls because of their mortal sins. I am Mary your Mother and I am begging you to help me to reach the children with these messages, messages of my Son, Jesus. Help us, help us, to lead the children to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Help us to lead the children to the rosary. To know about God you must ask Him for His knowledge and love. You must seek God my sweet, sweet children. You must reach the children of this world. I am Mary your Mother and I am calling out to you to reach the children of this world.

4. R. You can see before you smart children, nasty children picking on children or you can see children before you their hands folded and going to Jesus and telling Jesus of their love. Will children go to Jesus and tell Him of their love when no one is telling them about Jesus and His burning love. Jesus is speaking to us here. Mary His Mother has appeared over and over and over again and has asked us to reach the children. Children need to know about the rosary and the Eucharist and the Mass and the tabernacle, will you help me reach the children?

5. Song: Little Child

6. R. How can we look at the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jesus’ Heart is surrounded with thorns. There is a cross above it with the lance mark on the side. See the Heart of Mary, how can we live and know what we know about the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and watch little children have hardened hearts at such an early age. How could they ever turn to God if they’re not being told about Jesus and the Eucharist, about their Mother, about the Holy Spirit, about the rosary.

7. R. Mary stood beneath the cross of her Son and her heart was torn within her chest for she knew of all the little lost children that would go to hell because they sinned mortally and didn’t care.

8. R. We teach the children about safe sex but do we teach the children about God and the commandments of God.

9. Jesus: Unless the messages of My burning love are circulated within the members of My Church the bloodshed will continue. I am Jesus and I am calling out to you to help Me to spread these messages to this world to help spread the Second Blue Book to the priest and the religious to tell them of My burning love and to reach the children and to pray as you have never prayed before. To come to the Eucharist with a heart that is holy. As you unite deeper and deeper to Me your prayers will become stronger and stronger. You are My soldiers. You are My lights, that I am sending out to light up the darkened world, My apostles, I am calling out to you. Reach the children and you will reach the world.

10. Jesus: I am calling you to pray for your priests and your religious pray for the priests and give them these messages, for when the priests come to the tabernacle, when they spend one hour a day in adoration then their lives will be focused on Jesus.

Mary Cries for the Children

Mary: My messenger suffered great anguish and joy from my Lourdes Grotto at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church. On October 31, 1995, I cried out in pain for my little children. Give them my book of rosaries rather than violent games. Teach them to pray and love from their hearts.

I love you so much, I am your Mother Mary.

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

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. 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
