From a spiritual journal: "Go to the tabernacle. Jesus will give us our answers. He is waiting for us to come. We must come and sit in silence and let Him work in our hearts. We must not be filled with fear, we should be filled with hope and joy. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to give us His wisdom to know the will of the Father. Mary is our Mother. She will help us with all our trials and all of our struggles. We must discipline our thoughts and go to the Heart of Jesus. It is through the Eucharist that we will be strengthened for our trials.
"This is how I am with Jesus. I am empty. I want Him to make Himself known to me. I didnt have much theological knowledge when I started sitting in front of the tabernacle. I was looking for love from Jesus. Nobody loved me the way my soul wanted to be loved. I craved to be with Jesus. I wanted my heart filled. I wanted the craving I felt inside satisfied. I thirsted for love. I sat with Him present in the tabernacle and He filled me. He revealed Himself to me. He was the Bridegroom of my soul and I His bride. As I became more intimately united to Him, sitting there in silence and going to Him, I cried. I was so filled with love. I found what I was looking for all my life. He wrote the knowledge of Himself on my soul. He wrote this knowledge in the intimate moments I spent with Him at Mass after Communion and before the tabernacle.
"I struggle intently to do His work, and I am weary from running the race. I am tired, I am truly human, but the unquenchable love I have for Him in my heart is at the core of my existence. It is in Him I exist and in Him I love. I love Him so intently and yet I am so unworthy of His gifts given to me. I long more for the desire to help souls, and His desires become mine through my deep union with Him especially after the reception of the Eucharist. On this day (Feast of the Assumption), I felt the unquenchable purity of the Heart of Mary and the joy of dwelling deeply in His Heart in her pure love. It was a special gift He gave to me, to be wrapped in Marys Heart despite my faults. He gave Himself so completely to me. I only long for this, knowing this presence.
34. Rita Ring, Mass Book - A Journey into the Heart of Jesus p. 101
Philippians 2: 1-5
So if in Christ there is anything that will move you, any incentive in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any warmth or sympathyI appeal to you, make my joy complete by being of a single mind, one in love, one in heart and one in mind. Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others. Make your own the mind of Christ Jesus:
Matthew 19: 13-15
Then people brought little children to him, for him to lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples scolded them, but Jesus said, Let the little children alone, and do not stop them from coming to me; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of Heaven belongs. Then he laid his hands on them and went on his way.
Hebrews 12: 2-13
Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection: for the sake of the joy which lay ahead of him, he endured the cross, disregarding the shame of it, and has taken his seat at the right of God’s throne. Think of the way he persevered against such opposition from sinners and then you will not lose heart and come to grief. In the fight against sin, you have not yet had to keep fighting to the point of bloodshed.
Have you forgotten that encouraging text in which you are addressed as sons?
My son, do not scorn correction
from the Lord,
do not resent his training,
for the Lord trains those he loves,
and chastises every son he accepts.Perseverance is part of your training; God is treating you as his sons. Has there ever been any son whose father did not train him? If you were not getting this training, as all of you are, then you would be not sons but bastards. Besides, we have all had our human fathers who punished us, and we respected them for it; all the more readily ought we to submit to the Father of spirits, and so earn life. Our human fathers were training us for a short life and according to their own lights; but he does it all for our own good, so that we may share his own holiness. Of course, any discipline is at the time a matter for grief, not joy; but later, in those who have undergone it, it bears fruit in peace and uprightness. So steady all weary hands and trembling knees and make your crooked paths straight; then the injured limb will not be maimed, it will get better instead.
R. Jesus shows how He loved the
children. God wants us child-like
and humble in our hearts.
God wants intimacy with
us He wants us to love each
other We are to love our
brothers. We are members of the
human family
Christ died for all souls
We are to help in the building
of the Kingdom of God, where
the Sacred Heart is recognized as the
King and Center of the Hearts of men.
R. We are to love God above all things
God is ever - loving
God the Father - the most perfect Father
May we be one, Father, as you want
us to be
John 17: 20-23
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
Judges 2: 11-19
The Israelites then did what is evil in Yahweh's eyes and served the Baals. They deserted Yahweh, God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt, and they followed other gods, from those of the surrounding peoples. They bowed down to these; they provoked Yahweh; they deserted Yahweh to serve Baal and Astartes. Then Yahweh's anger grew hot against Israel. He handed them over to pillagers who plundered them; he delivered them to the enemies surrounding them, and they were no longer able to resist their enemies. Whenever they mounted an expedition, Yahweh's hand was there to foil them, as Yahweh had told them and as Yahweh had sworn to them, so that they were in dire distress.
Yahweh then appointed them judges, who rescued them from the hands of their plunderers. But even to their judges they refused to listen. They prostituted themselves to other gods and bowed down before these. Very quickly they left the path which their ancestors had trodden in obedience to the orders of Yahweh; they did not follow their example. When Yahweh appointed judges for them, Yahweh was with the judge and rescued them from the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived, since Yahweh relented at their groans under their persecutors and oppressors. But once the judge was dead, they relapsed into even worse corruption than their ancestors. They followed other gods; they served them and bowed before them and would not give up the practices and stubborn ways of their ancestors at all.
Psalm 106: 34-37, 39-40, 43-44
They did not destroy the nations,
as Yahweh had told them to do,
but intermarried with them,
and adopted their ways.They worshipped those nations' false gods,
till they found themselves entrapped,
and sacrificed their own sons
and their daughters to demons.They defiled themselves by such actions,
their behaviour was that of a harlot.
Yahweh's anger blazed out at his people,
his own heritage filled him with disgust.Time and again he rescued them,
but they still defied him deliberately,
and sank ever deeper in their guilt;
even so he took pity on their distress,
as soon as he heard them cry out.
Jesus: Those that are rich are not the men
with money, but the ones
with truthful, loving
hearts, with their focus on God.
Your world is at war
I give you a prescription for
world peace
Mary told you at Fatima
until a sufficient number
of souls have given
their hearts to My Heart and
Mary's Heart you
won't have peace in the world
I am Jesus, I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus
My Mother is the Queen of Peace
Psalm 85: 9, 11-14
His saving help is near for those who fear him,
his glory will dwell in our land.Loyalty will spring up from the earth,
and Justice will lean down from heaven.Yahweh will himself give prosperity,
and our soil will yield its harvest.
Justice will walk before him,
treading out a path.
Jesus: The prophets delivered My
message and you persecuted
them to continue your
evil ways.
So as you sow
So shall you reap
R. A golden light was flashing and
when Mary appeared the
light was so bright at
times I felt blinded after
an apparition.
Lights can come in all intensities
the light of the brightest sun and
the light of the moon does not
wash out the black sky.
God made these powerful luminaries
to be as He wanted them to be.
Jesus: So I created men to shine in
different ways in the world
and all were created by
God for a purpose.
How foolish indeed it is
to try to block a man
chosen by God, when the
foolish one has a jealous,
envious heart.
God calls men to do good.
When one is doing good
you should rejoice at
the goodness of God's
grace acting in a man doing God's will
and thank your heavenly
Father who gives you
such a blessing.
Those who try to take out the
man, acting in My Name
as I desire, are opposing
Me.
Let your hearts be pure,
that My light will
shine brightly on you and others
will see your love for God's will.
Oh that your life be lived to
serve your God with your
whole heart, your whole
soul and your whole being
and love your neighbor as yourself.
Why use Christmas lights if they
do not remind you of
My Light
Christmas is a time for
Christ' Mass!!
Esther 4: 1-4, 8-10
Mordecai went away and carried out Esther's instructions.
Then calling to mind all the wonderful works of the Lord, he offered this prayer:
Lord, Lord, Almighty King,
everything is subject to your power,
and there is no one who can withstand you
in your determination to save Israel.You have made heaven and earth,
and all the marvels that are under heaven.
You are the Master of the universe
and no one can resist you, Lord.And now, Lord God,
King, God of Abraham
spare your people!
For our ruin is being plotted,
there are plans to destroy
your ancient heritage.
Do not overlook your inheritance,
which you redeemed from Egypt to be yours.
Hear my supplication,
have mercy on your heritage,
and turn our grief into rejoicing,
so that we may live, Lord,
to hymn your name.
Do not suffer the mouths
of those who praise you to perish.
Philippians 1: 27-30
But you must always behave in a way that is worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come to you and see for myself or whether I only hear all about you from a distance, I shall find that you are standing firm and united in spirit, battling, as a team with a single aim, for the faith of the gospel, undismayed by any of your opponents. This will be a clear sign, for them that they are to be lost, and for you that you are to be saved. This comes from God, for you have been granted the privilege for Christ's sake not only of believing in him but of suffering for him as well; you are fighting the same battle which you saw me fighting for him and which you hear I am fighting still.
R. Lack of forgiveness can keep us stuck
What keeps us from loving
Anger must be looked at
Holding on to anger and not forgiving,
years, days of anger.
Many times to prove we are right
when we need to look at our
heart and forgive
Anger can be like an "anger-can" that is
filled from angry generations past and
there are different sizes of "anger-cans".
God commands us to love
God wants whole-hearted love
A heart closed down is opposed to what
God commands of us
We can try to force others to put up with our
lies about our angry hearts,
when we are filled with anger,
and act in ways of bitterness and
anger toward others
Blaming others for our pride to be right
when in fact we are acting
closed down, in anger and bitterness
toward others
Jesus: A person rooted in love has a heart that
forgives, that sees the creation of God in
their brother.
You see the stories of the angry children
toward father or mother
the angry brother against brother
the angry person smitten in love
There is one heart to reach for
a heart of love
a heart of unity
a heart of forgiveness
a heart of truth
You are to be one with God
There are 3 Persons in one God
Your life is to be lived to love
to give love to the world
Your life is so short
Children grow up and have
their own lives
People in their 60's and 70's cannot hold
onto children, grandchildren
they are younger
they need your love and prayers and
good example
The man or woman of 40 sees themselves
as the children grow and demand
more needs than little ones, sometimes
But at 50 - children are 10 years older - some
out of college
ready to go out on their own
They need to be set free to do what
God created them for
Cutting the umbilical cord when
it is the time
The baby is carried 9 months usually
mom carries the baby
The umbilical cord needs to be cut
Does this show you
To do with your children what is God's
will
They are not there to serve your
emotional needs
You were called by God to be the
instrument to bring them into
the world
What is your highest priority
Are you missing what you were
created for?
God is calling you
I am knocking on your door to do
God's will
Jesus: What is your highest priority
It should be doing the Father's will
When love (you think) surfaces with
another romantically it cannot
grow as it needs to develop if
a person is angry and unforgiving
You were created to love
It is God's will your heart is free
Always praying for your relationships
praying for those who have passed
asking the souls in purgatory to
intercede in your prayers
How is it when you are too busy
to spend the time you need in
your relationship with God
The devil from the beginning (of one's life) is working
for souls to go to hell
He wants people that are strong in their
faith to start bending My rules
The world is so secular
You are living in a secular world
You are here to help souls to get to
heaven - including your own
You are here to live by God's rule
You are here to be a witness of
hope - to show how
your lives are rooted in Me
Men who want to bend the rules
bend the rules anyway they want
they can try to live to be angry for
20 years
to mold their actions around their
anger and unforgiveness from
the past
Children can be hurt in the past and
taught unforgiveness against
others by the attitude of their
adult parents
Children are to learn about love
Parents are their teachers
Christmas is about learning to grow
from babies, to have hearts
more and more likened to Mine
You are to die to your selfish ways and
grow in love
The devil wants a person to pride themselves
on how they are in control
to think they can mold things
their own way
Manipulate things many times and
still hold onto anger and
unforgiveness
You need your heart free to
really give love
You need your heart to love
My Movement is to bring people to
Our Hearts of Love
A person who wants to give love,
must know how to receive
love
The process is giving and receiving
love
Unforgiveness and bitterness over
years is like a big spray
can of anger
It hardens the heart, the more you hold
on to it, the harder your hearts become.
People need to tell themselves the truth
about their anger and unforgiveness,
not hide it and try to force others
to live with their rigid
half - closed ways
Mary appeared in Clearwater
Pray:
Dear God, help heal my heart of
wounds of unforgiveness
Jesus: Your whole life should be learning
to love with a more and more
pure heart
Song: Give Me Your Heart, Oh Jesus,
Give Me a Heart like Yours
Song: A Song from Jesus
Jesus: Hurts need to be healed
Make a fearless inventory of those
you have offended
say you are sorry
that will lead to healing
I give you Myself in the Eucharist
I feed you with Myself
I am God
Pray for healing in your hearts
What is life
Life is not life if it is not rooted
in Me
The Father's will is to be done
The devil wants to blow up all
the bridges
You must do the right thing or
you will suffer
There are those who help you when
you do the right thing
The devil talks in negative talk
in your head, he wants you
to think what is right is
wrong and what is wrong
is right and
the devil wants those who sin
to cover it up and to stay
stuck
And to think that no one will help
you when you need it
You are all sinners
You need to ask for My forgiveness
Why do you not want to forgive other?
Forgive and you will be forgiven
Tell all about the Word of God
Tell men about My mercy and
forgiveness
Pray together
Know the power in being united
in prayer
Love
I am love
I died for your sins
I love you so much
I have given the world My Blue Books
will you tell them of My great
love and I want to forgive
John 3: 16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.
Jesus: Will you pray for the sinner
Your life is so short
As you grow older
your life changes
You cannot hold onto it
If you died today
are you prepared to love with
My Heart
Did you learn to love on this
earth?
Did you admit the truth and
ask for forgiveness?
Do you want forgiveness from
Me?
Do you see the splinter in your
brother's eye and don't know
of the splinter in your own eye?
What does Christmas mean to you?
You start a baby most people
go out older
What does the cycle of life teach
you
It's a shame to not recognize that
your grandparents dying is a sign
of how life will be for you,
Your parents getting old telling
you - soon you too will
be old
The world is focused on fooling yourselves
about your looks
Every day you are closer to death
Every day should be a day that
you have decreased and I have
increased in your ways
of loving
Loving and Forgiving
The devil tells some find a niche
and force others to put up with
you
You either go up in the spiritual life
closer to Me or
you go in the opposite direction
YOU DON'T REMAIN THE SAME
IT DEPENDS ON YOUR HEART
Jesus: I will forgive the sinner coming and
asking for forgiveness with
a contrite heart - asking for
forgiveness, wanting not to sin
How are you with others?
Do you see Christ in them?
Are you always "up" trying to
show your low self-esteem and
wanting to push others in the
Father's Plan under your feet.
Is your life lived to not love God and
others and yourself
Then you aren't living as the
Father intends.
Are you a reactor
Instead of an actor?
Do you want others to forgive you,
but you expect them to be
perfect and so you never forgive
anyone, it's beneath you
to say you are sorry

The Luminous Mysteries
The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordon
October 1, 1994
God Calls Us to Love
John 13:34
I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
R.
Dear Jesus, I stand at the door of Your Heart and knock to come in. I want entry - to be lost totally and entirely in Thee. I want to be sheltered inside of Your Heart and wrapped deeply in Your infinite love.Jesus:
I call you, child, to love. Love is rooted in Me. I gave My all for love of you. I held nothing back. Love gives freely for the good of the other. Love exists to draw the other closer to God. If your relationship with your brother in anyway separates you from God, it is not love.Love is not haughty, love does not demand its own way, love exists to lead the other to closer union with Me. I loved you to My death. I gave to you My all! I ask you to give your all for your beloved brothers. In loving them, you are loving Me. I live in your brothers. How can you love Me who you do not see, if you do not love your brother who you see.
I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life. I give that you will know Me and know how to love one another. Love your brothers as I have loved you. When they persecute you and holler every evil word against you, love them. This is My way - to lay down My life for My friends.
John 13:34
I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.
R.
And to those who heeded His words, their lives were lived in peace and love and they experienced joy in their hearts, for true love brings peace and true love gives joy to the heart of the beholder. It is in loving that you receive, it is in giving that you are rendered to and it is in following the way of Christ that we are led into a life of everlasting happiness.Jesus:
I have not gone. I live with you this day. I am in your brothers. Love them as I have loved you.R.
And He sent them such blessings in such abundance and they knew a little of His unending mercy and love.
October 1, 1994
I Feed the Hungry Soul
Jesus:
Another person cannot feed your hungry soul. You search, you seek. Your starved soul craves only that which I can give. When your heart is searching for love, come, My sweet dear child, into My Heart. My Mother will take you to the deepest recesses of My Heart. There you will know such comfort - in My Heart on fire for love of you this day.You are a child of dignity. You are precious to Me. You are the creation of the Father. I gave the last drop of My blood for you. This is love - you need grace to realize the immenseness of God's love. You are so special to God, all three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mary loves you so much.
You can never be satisfied on this earth. If you find the dearest mother, father, lover, friend, they will not fill you with the love your soul craves. To find Me is to seek Me. You will not be satisfied on this earth.
You, My child, experience longing for My intense love. I love you to want Me. This is how I long for love of each precious soul. I long for them with the most tender Heart, beating and breathing with fire. I never falter. I never grow dim. I am the same, with the same burning love. Come to Me and jump into My precious Heart. I love you so much.
The Wedding at Cana
October 2, 1994
You Are the Fathers Creation
Jesus:
I come to you in one another. Let not your hearts be hard, let your hearts be as little children, tender and pure. They do not hold grudges, they love each other, they love themselves.You are the creation of My beloved Father. You were created with such dignity and love. I died for you. I gave My life that you would share My life. Oh, My child, pray to the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, to let you see where you are blind, to open your hearts to the ways of God. Pray to Him to sanctify you.
You are called to be Christ to one another. Your hearts have turned hard. Your ways are not My ways. My way is always to love. My ways are to give. My ways are to see in your brother the creation of the Father, so beautiful, so uniquely created.
Each child is a gift from God to this world. Each child is a gift of unique love, given by the Father. You were uniquely created. You are so loved. Pray to know your specialness to God. It is in realizing His love for you that you will love your brothers.
R.
We are all brothers in Christ. God is our Father. We are all one.Jesus:
Join, My little ones, in such love. It is in loving that you will be at peace. Love of each other creates joy in your hearts. Pray for the grace to know and love God more. It is in this knowledge and God's love that you will be My light that shines in the darkest night.I am the Way, I am the Truth. I am the Life! To live in Me you must come to know and love Me. Follow My ways. My ways are the ways of truth. My ways are not always the easy way, they are the ways of love.
If you are to be joined in your hearts, you must love every man. Every man is your brother. You must put on Christ in all your ways. Would Christ act as you are acting?
I love you so much. It is in meditating on My love for you that you will love your brothers.
I put you on this earth to love one another. Pray to the Spirit to know My ways. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I truly come to bring you new life. It is in Me you will have the light of life. I love you so, the Father loves you so, the Spirit wants to live in your hearts and make you alive with the love of God. Pray to Mary to lead you through her loving heart into such love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
My child, come to My ever burning Heart. I do not love you one moment and forget you the next. I am forever burning brightly for you. I never falter. I am forever on fire for love of you. If you forget Me, I never ever forget you, I love you so much.

These Messages Need to Circulate
Jesus:
My dear children, I tell you to listen to Me here. I am delivering messages for all to be read and distributed. Souls need to read these messages. Your Center will grow in love of Me when you circulate these messages. I ask. You have a free will. These are My letters of love to all. They are not being read. I deliver these messages to you to deliver to My faithful ones. Please, I beg you to circulate My messages. What more do I say to you!This world is moving further and further from Me. I control your every breath. Do you think you are independent of He Who keeps you alive, second by second?
You do not know how truly frail you are? You do not control the air, the water, the sun, your food. You are dependent on Me for your existence, second by second.
I am your Most loving Savior. I speak to you here. Please listen to Me. This is an urgent request. I love you so and love each hurting soul. All the Blue Books have different messages. They speak to all of you. They need to be published. I will provide the funds to see to this. Your delays are stopping the progress of so many returning to My most intimate love. I beg you, please answer My plea.
The Kingdom of God
October 4, 1994
Come to My Waiting Arms
Jesus:
My child, My eyes are watching you. You sit in front of Me in the tabernacle where I am exposed and you kneel in front of Me. I am no less present than when I hung from the cross.My eyes looked to the heavens above to behold the glimpses of My dear Mother under My cross. My eyes saw it all. I saw the hatred, the anger in their eyes as they came for Me to scourge Me. Such deep darkness in their souls - the bottomless pit of darkness! These eyes of Mine beheld My dear Mother, close by My side on Calvary. To see her suffering! My eyes watched as I so horribly suffered Myself. My eyes watch you, My beloved, kneel in front of Me here and know how My Heart forever beats with such love for you and you do not realize this love.
My eyes watch My beloved ones suffer so. Many sufferings made by their own willfulness to do what they choose and not what I tell them. My eyes watch My beloved ones suffer and I do not interfere with their free will. But, My eyes watch them with the same love that led Me to death on the cross.
Think of My eyes watching you. Know how I am present to you in your hearts. I am so close to you, My dearly beloved ones! If you only knew how your life depends on My constant care for you!
Your every breath is dependent on Me. Oh, little blind earth, when will you come to My waiting arms? When will you see this God Who loves you so dearly? What do I need to do to show you My love? Open up your closed hearts. Pray for grace. Come and sit with Me in front of the tabernacle. Attend the Mass. Receive communion. My grace I pour out to you to know and love Me more. If you do not come, you are missing such graces! Love your brothers. You receive graces through your good works. You will grow in your love and knowledge of Me as you cooperate with this grace I pour out to you.
Oh, little one, you need to come to Me. The devil is so strong. You need the grace I pour out to you to grow in holiness. You need the Spirit to sanctify you. Oh, I love you so. Do not give into satan to trip you up and get you focused on his nonsense. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, am in your midst this very day and I am forever watching you.
R.
The eyes that watch me as I sit here with Him! He is watching me with such love! The Father is with me with such love. The Spirit is within me, moving within me to make me grow in holiness. Oh, please God, I want to grow in love and knowledge of You. I love You so much!They constantly accused Jesus and persecuted Him with such accusations. He showed us the way. He was silent. He did not argue. They clothed Him many times and made Him change His garments. Jesus was the little innocent lamb led to the slaughter. He yielded to them, and they stripped Him and persecuted Him. He did all this for love of us. He was silent. Are we silent when satan tries to attack us through others? Does it do any good to answer an angry attack? He was silent to His death on the cross. He loved those who persecuted Him. He yielded to their treatment. He was the victim being led to the slaughter.
The Father loved us so much He gave His only Son up to death with such persecution! He loves us so much this very day. He sees the creation He has made and He loves His creation so much. We are so loved by the Father.
Jesus:
I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. I am Jesus, come to you this day, exposed here in the Eucharist. I give you Myself out of such love. I yielded to all their insults and persecution that ended in My death. I remain in such love for you this day.What more do I say to you? I love you so much. Study My passion and see the love I gave for you. Oh, dear one, you are so loved!

The Transfiguration
Matthew 17: 5
...This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.
Daniel 7: 9-10, 13-14
While I was watching,
thrones were set in place
and one most venerable took his seat.
His robe was white as snow,
the hair of his head as pure as wool.
His throne was a blaze of flames,
its wheels were a burning fire.
A stream of fire poured out,
issuing from his presence.
A thousand thousand waited on him,
ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before him.
The court was in session
and the books lay open.I was gazing into the visions of the night,
when I saw,
coming on the clouds of heaven,
as it were a son of man.
He came to the One most venerable
and was led into his presence.
On him was conferred rule,
honour and kingship,
and all peoples, nations and languages
became his servants.
His rule is an everlasting rule
which will never pass away,
and his kingship will never come to an end.
2 Peter 1: 16-19
When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.
The Institution of the Eucharist
L
ET US LOVE THE TWO HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARYHE GAVE HIMSELF TO US ON THE CROSS. HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST.
How great was the act of love, God gave to this world, when He gave Himself and died on the cross. He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.
The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow.
The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.
This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our Holy, Loving God. Our all consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God? He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love when Jesus gives Himself-Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in Communion? We should beg God, in this most intimate union with Him, to help us to love Him with greatest love.
Jesus is a Person. He wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. Our Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist, we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, with Divinity, we must pour out our love to God. We must pour out our heart to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being in the sacrament of His greatest love. This is the Gift of Himself.
Think of how it is to love someone and give your all for that person, to pour out your heart to him or her and then be treated with coldness and neglect. It hurts our heart so much more when we deeply love someone to be rejected by that person. Jesus loves us with the deepest love. We cannot fully comprehend this love. Let us love Him with the deepest love. Let us love Mary and her Immaculate Heart. Let us love her as the Mother of God. Let us love her as the virgin who bore the Son of God. May we, in the reception of the Eucharist pour out our love to Him, to this adorable Heart. May we pour out our love to His Holy Mother.
Mary said at Fatima that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Let us love these two Hearts as we receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Then we are so deeply united with God. We see Their two Hearts surrounded with thorns for the injustices against Their Hearts. Let us help make reparation daily as we receive Him in the Eucharist. This is a special time to help make reparation to Their wounded Hearts.
Let us remember how He poured His love out to us on the cross and how He pours out His love to us now when He gives us Himself in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which contains His Heart of burning love. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Her heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. As the wounds in Their Hearts are deep, so too is Their love so deep.
He does not want "surface love". He wants hearts filled with deep burning love.

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

Guiding Light Feed My Soul Cycle C In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15 |
Guiding Light Focusing on the Word Cycle B At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15 |
