                Given November 1, 2011 - All Saints Day

                R. Generational healing —

                    Our ancestors went before us.
                Family — We see the genealogy of Jesus.
                We know Adam and Eve — We have a past,
                we come from parents who taught us —
                We say "Oh he went to Harvard", Oh so-and-so
                was his teacher —
                What about babies who are taught about love
                by parents who were struggling themselves —
                Healing the Family Tree —

                Oh Holy Spirit we pray You will fill us and help us
                    to see those things we were taught that
                    we need to change, things we learned
                    about being a man, a woman, having
                    relationships that handled problems to bring
                    growth and love to those we were involved
                    with —

                    At a funeral, we know if a man was
                holy and he is going to heaven we
                know even though he died — he will
                live forever in heaven because he lived
                his life pleasing God.

                We see the leprosy of sin —
                We see the attraction of sin —

                We see how we were taught many things we
                    do that we need to change to have relationships —

                Come Holy Spirit fill us —
                Oh Jesus by Your Precious
                    Blood heal us —

                How powerful the Eucharist is for
                    healing us —

                    The devil works at Mass for those who
                need healing to distract them — when
                they need the Holy Spirit at Mass and His council and
                not the evil spirit counseling in our ears
                during Mass —

                Jesus told me
                Feed the hungry
                Feed the hungry
                Feed the hungry
                for 6 weeks

                Fr. Joe's book is the Word majorly —
                My book, the Blue Books talk about
                the Eucharist —

                The world is hungry —
                We need the Bread of Life —
                The Bread of Life is the Word and the
                    Eucharist,
                The Bread of Life fills us —
                It is abundant —
                God has given us this gift!!
                    This gift to feed us —

                We pray for the family tree — so we
                    don't blame people in our lives
                    today for our sinful way, our anger,
                    our bitterness, on innocent others.

                We can be bound by old bad wounds
                    in our lives that need to be healed —

                We want to see through the eyes
                    of the Father —

                It says in the scripture
                    "no defilement will enter heaven"

                We want to be set free from any
                    bondage we have to sin —
                    vices —

                We can pray to the Holy Spirit for healing
                    of marriages and relationships, but
                    we must pray for our ancestors —
                    pray for ourselves to be set free
                    of inclinations that block us
                    from acting virtuously —

                Praying for grace to live a virtuous life —
                Pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten the donors,
                    the members, the priests etc. —

                Experience the healing power of God —
                    pray to the Holy Spirit —

                The Holy Spirit gives us joy.

                Pray for families and marriages and
                    healings, not divorces —

                The Holy Spirit helps heal relationships on the rocks.

 

 

Luke 22: 19

    Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 

 

1 Peter 1: 18-19

For you know that the price of your ransom from the futile way of life handed down from your ancestors was paid, not in anything perishable like silver or gold, but in precious blood as of a blameless and spotless lamb, Christ.

 

John 11: 25

Jesus said:

I am the resurrection.
Anyone who believes in me,
   even though that person dies, will live,

   

                R. Where ever jealousy is involved
                    there can be the devil —
                    or envy —

   

Romans 5: 3-4

Not only that; let us exult, too, in our hardships, understanding that hardship develops perseverance, and perseverance develops a tested character, something that gives us hope,

 

Acts 2: 3-4

and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves."

 

Romans 1: 16-17

For I see no reason to be ashamed of the gospel; it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who has faith — Jews first, but Greeks as well-for in it is revealed the saving justice of God: a justice based on faith and addressed to faith. As it says in scripture: Anyone who is upright through faith will live.

   

Mark 16: 17-18

These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover.’ 

 

1 Corinthians 3: 6-9

I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God gave growth. In this, neither the planter nor the waterer counts for anything; only God, who gives growth. It is all one who does the planting and who does the watering, and each will have the proper pay for the work that he has done. After all, we do share in God’s work; you are God’s farm, God’s building. 

   

                R. Seeking dominance for dominance sake is
                    a negative behavior pattern —

 

Isaiah 30: 21

Your ears will hear these words
    behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,'
whether you turn to right or left.

 

Matthew 16: 18

So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my community. And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it.

 

Isaiah 61: 1

The spirit of Lord Yahweh
     is on me
for Yahweh has anointed me.
He has sent me to bring the news
     to the afflicted,
to soothe the broken–hearted,

   

1 John 4: 16

We have recognised for ourselves,
and put our faith in,
    the love God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever remains in love
    remains in God
and God in him.

 

1 Corinthians 1: 31

 As scripture says: If anyone wants to boast, let him boast of the Lord.

   

                R. Abortion is Violence!!

                Sin!!

                Sing: Veni Sanctus Spiritus 
 

    From the Lectionary

                        Pentecost Sequence

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
    Shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
    Come, within our bosoms shine!

You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
    Sweet refreshment here below;

In our Labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
    Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
    And our inmost being fill!

Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
    Nothing free from taint of ill!

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
    Wash the stains of guilt away;

Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
    Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
    In your sev'nfold gift descend;

Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
    Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.

 

1 Thessalonians 4: 14

We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that in the same way God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

 

1 Corinthians 15: 22

Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life;

 

                R. Oh Merciful Father hear us and
                    help us —

                Strengthen our faith, hope and love —

 

Job 19: 1, 23-27

Job spoke next. He said:

Will no one let my words be recorded,
    inscribed on some monument
with iron chisel and engraving tool,
    cut into the rock for ever?
I know that I have a living Defender
    and that he will rise up last, on the dust of the earth.
After my awakening, he will set me close to him,
    and from my flesh I shall look on God.
He whom I shall see will take my part:
    my eyes will be gazing on no stranger.
    My heart sinks within me.

 

1 Corinthians 15: 51-57

Now I am going to tell you a mystery: we are not all going to fall asleep, but we are all going to be changed, instantly, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet is going to sound, and then the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed, because this perishable nature of ours must put on imperishability, this mortal nature must put on immortality.

And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

John 6: 37-40

Everyone whom the Father gives me
   will come to me;
I will certainly not reject
anyone who comes to me,
because I have come from heaven,
not to do my own will,
but to do the will of him who sent me.
Now the will of him who sent me
is that I should lose nothing
of all that he has given to me,
but that I should raise it up
   on the last day.
It is my Father's will
that whoever sees the Son
   and believes in him
should have eternal life,
and that I should raise that person up
   on the last day.

         

Wisdom 3: 1-9

But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God, 
and no torment can touch them. 
To the unenlightened, they appeared to die, 
their departure was regarded as disaster, 
their leaving us like annihilation; 
but they are at peace. 
If, as it seemed to us, they suffered punishment, 
their hope was rich with immortality; 
slight was their correction, great will their blessings be. 
God was putting them to the test 
and has proved them worthy to be with him; 
he has tested them like gold in a furnace, 
and accepted them as a perfect burnt offering. 
At their time of visitation, they will shine out; 
as sparks run through the stubble, so will they. 
They will judge nations, rule over peoples, 
and the Lord will be their king for ever. 
Those who trust in him will understand the truth, 
those who are faithful will live with him in love; 
for grace and mercy await his holy ones, 
and he intervenes on behalf of his chosen.

 

John 11: 21-27

Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died, but even now I know that God will grant whatever you ask of him.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’ Martha said, ‘I know he will rise again at the resurrection on the last day.’ Jesus said:

            I am the resurrection. 
            Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live,
            and whoever lives and believes in me 
            will never die. 
            Do you believe this?

      ‘Yes, Lord,’ she said, ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world.’

 

John 14: 1-6

    Do not let your hearts be troubled. 
    You trust in God, trust also in me. 
    In my Father’s house 
        there are many places to live in; 
    otherwise I would have told you. 
    I am going now to prepare a place for you, 
    and after I have gone 
        and prepared you a place, 
    I shall return to take you to myself, 
    so that you may be with me 
    where I am. 
    You know the way 
        to the place where I am going. 

    Thomas said, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?’ Jesus said: 

        I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. 
    No one can come to the Father 
        except through me. 

      

                R. Love is the basic ingredient
                    of life —

                It is said
                    "Love Makes the World go
                        around"

                Pain, suffering and frustration,
                    long hours of work —
                    seem to be taken in stride
                    if we are loved —

                God is a Person —

                He wants us to love Him —

                Absence of love can make days
                    long and dreary —

                If people stay disconnected because
                    they have been wounded and
                    don't want to get hurt —

                They are operating opposed to
                    the Creator's will —

                    Love unites persons —
                To be isolated - never really learn
                    to love others and love God in
                    these love relations, is to work against God's plan.

                We can love improperly —
                    cease to love authentically.

                Love — can be false love
                    — existing under false pretense
                    — slavishly dependent —

                There are dangers in not loving —
                    The devil wants people to
                       
. NOT LOVE
                       
. LOVE IMPROPERLY

                Love is a risk —
                A giving of oneself

                We need to love to mature as God the Father
                    created us to do.

                God commands us to love —

   

Matthew 22: 36-40

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

   

                Sing: Open Our Hearts

                R. If it is improper love — it is not
                    real love —

                We are to live a God-like existence —
                    to imitate Christ

                We are to love human persons
                    as God wants —

                God loves us intimately and
                    intently —

                We are to love and act more and
                    more like God —

                Our capacity to love God and
                    others should be ever
                    increasing likened to God —

                His life is in us, through baptism
                    our knowing and loving
                    capacity is elevated —

                Loving is living

                A mixture of happiness and sorrow —
                                    laughter and tears
                                    exciting and ordinary

                In loving — in marriage —
                    in deep relationships —
                    the uniqueness of each person
                    to contribute to salvation
                    history — should shine in
                    the relationship with another —

                Satan wants jealousy, envy, possessiveness.
                God wants us to be all He wants us
                    to be —
                    develop our talents —
                    do God's will —
                    and help to build the Kingdom

                Real love does not interfere with
                    another's ability to do God's will —

                Real love is not jealous —
                Real love is not possessive —

                Nor puffed-up, pompous —

                True love is not selfishly possessive

                Fr. Carter says: Love moves toward non-possessiveness —

                Love helps us to know oneself better —

                Living to bring oneself to greater
                    maturity and fruitfulness.

                To love and be loved —

                To open oneself to allow others
                    to love us —

                Not 'love-hate' relationships —
                We need Selflessness —

                To be as we are uniquely —

                To love is to give oneself to
                    promote the good of the other —

                We grow to the extent we love.

                Different relationships exist with
                    different people —

                Love entails not only joy, but
                    suffering and pain as one
                    grows and matures.

                Problems of love are usually
                    problems of communication,
                    to prevent misunderstanding,
                    clearing the air.

                Loved ones can be lost by
                    leaving permanently or
                    by death —

                In love there is not only some
                    pain, but the happiness
                    and joys outweigh the pain —

                Love is intended to go out and
                    reach others. 

 

                R. Love should go out to greater
                    love of all of mankind.

                Lack of this core love for mankind
                    can lead to violence
                    among nations —
                    between groups in nations —

                Man is to love his neighbor —

                We should pray for the whole
                    world.

                Love is an energy - that should
                    go out —
                    zeal to build up the Kingdom of God —
                    zeal for life —

                The world is in the state of becoming
                    what God wants it to be —
                    this love given individually
                    can help to bring peace
                    and understanding —

 

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.

   

                R. By loving we help curb evil in
                    the world; by loving our
                    neighbor.

                God created the world in love.

                His Divine generosity —
                He is love —
                Jesus died to save the world —

                To love God we must love
                    our neighbor —

                Sing: Let There be Peace on Earth

                R. Union with God is the source
                    of love and unity —

                This union will strengthen us and
                    the world to be as God
                    intends us to be —

                We participate in sharing God's
                    life — in sharing His loving
                    activity —

                The more we are one with God
                    the more we love properly —
                    We are one with Him —
                    there is power to love —

                The saints believed God loved them
                    mightily —

 

Galatians 2: 20

and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

  

                R. We are becoming more and more in
                    the image and likeness of Christ
                    as we live out our
                    Christ-life in Him —

                We can shy away from God's love —
                    the white heat of His love —
                    the reality He is a Person —
                    A Divine Person — who loves us —

                We can be like the prodigal
                    son who thought happiness
                    existed elsewhere and not in
                    his father's house.

                He was willing to eat the food
                    given to the pigs —

                We can be like this with God's
                    love that we search for that
                    which can make us happy —
                    not in our Father's house and
                    eat from the swine —

                The virtue of justice, for
                    example, allows us to love
                    others to give them what is
                    their due —

                In temperance — one loves
                    themselves and others not to
                    over - indulge

 

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3

Though I command languages both human and angelic—if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains—if I am without love, I am nothing. Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned—if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever. 

   

                R. The Spirit is present to make
                    us more alive —
                    to help the individual Christian,
                    the world —
                    the Church to be as God desires —

                

             In the fourth Eucharistic prayer we say: "Father,
             you so loved the world that in the fullness of time you sent
             your only Son to be our Savior...In fulfillment of your will
             he gave himself up to death, but by rising from the dead, he
             destroyed death and restored life. And that we might live
             no longer for ourselves but for him, he sent the Holy Spirit
             from you, Father, as his first gift to those who believe, to
             complete his work on earth and bring us the fullness of grace.

        “Eucharistic Prayer IV,” as in The Vatican II Weekday Missal, St. Paul Edition, p. 866.

 

                R. God is a God of life, not death.

                The Spirit is present to us in
                    order that we may have life
                    and have it more abundantly.

                The Spirit helps us to be
                    alive, happy, vital —
                    gives us newness —

                Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the
                    faithful and renew the face
                    of the earth —

                The action of the Holy Spirit is
                    to renew!!

                Renew the face of the earth!

                Life in the Spirit is being alive —
                    loving more and more like God —
                    enjoying friends —
                    being spontaneous —
                    Laughing
                    Rejoicing —
                    Enjoying nature's beauty

                    EAGER, FOR LIFE
                    Zeal for life —

                Believing, trusting and
                    loving Life in the Spirit —
                    also weeping and sorrow —

                Being alive
                Life in Him
                According to God's will —
                Love in marriage —
                Love walking hand-in-hand.
                Regulated by God's will.

                A SPIRIT UAL MAN —

                The non-spiritual man lives
                    not according to the Spirit,
                    but according to the flesh.

                Fr. Carter says: "Life according to the flesh
                            is intellectual pride.
                            It is working at one's
                            profession for selfish
                            motives. It is jealousy,
                            sloth, and unjust anger.
                            It is thinking too much about
                            one's self. It is a lack of
                            concern for human dignity of
                            the other." It is good for
                            power - over —
                            i.e. cheating

                We are to help build the Kingdom of God —

                To help in the process of renewing
                    the earth —

                To help the world and the Church to
                    be as God wants —

                The Spirit works in us to renew
                    the Church and the world.

 

Galatians 5: 16-17

    Instead, I tell you, be guided by the Spirit, and you will no longer yield to self–indulgence. The desires of self–indulgence are always in opposition to the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are in opposition to self–indulgence: they are opposites, one against the other; that is how you are prevented from doing the things that you want to.

   

                R. Life in the Spirit is living the grace
                    life which God bestows
                    along with the gift of
                    Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

                The grace-life is a share in
                    God's own life —

                It is a sharing in His knowing
                    and loving —

                In life in the Spirit
                    We love God and others deeply

                The Spirit's task is to deepen the
                    image of Jesus on us.

                The Spirit is always inspiring
                    us to deeper union with Jesus.

                We should be on fire for love of Jesus.

 

Philippians 1: 21-24

Life to me, of course, is Christ, but then death would be a positive gain. On the other hand again, if to be alive in the body gives me an opportunity for fruitful work, I do not know which I should choose. I am caught in this dilemma: I want to be gone and to be with Christ, and this is by far the stronger desire—and yet for your sake to stay alive in this body is a more urgent need.

   

                R. We are called in baptism to
                    put on Christ.

                We follow in the footprints of Christ.

                Living more deeply the mysteries
                    of Christ's life —

                The pascal mystery — we live out
                    the mystery of Christ's
                    death and resurrection
                    in our lives —

                PASSOVER

                We go through Jesus to
                    the Father.

                Fr. Carter says
                "All this reached its climax in
                    His death, but a death
                    oriented toward life, a
                    death which was the
                    definitive pass-over points
                    to a new life — the life
                    of resurrection.

                Christ's resurrection symbolizes the new
                    life of grace, the life in the
                    Spirit, which He gives us.
                    We maintain this life and mature
                    in it by living Christ's pass-over event.

                We are called to die with Christ
                    so that we might rise more and
                    more with Him, not only
                    in eternity, but upon earth also,
                    As Christ's suffering was pointed
                    toward greater life, so is
                    our suffering in all its
                    various forms oriented
                    toward a fuller life —
                    here and hereafter."

                Christ was forming community —
                    the People of God
                    the Church —

                Through the Church it
                    would be a leaven in
                    the world to help unity
                    and love among men and
                    this love would be strengthened
                    as they grew to maturity
                    with love in the Father's
                    family — Strength in unity —

                The world, the Church, the
                    individual Christian is
                    in the state of becoming
                    more as God intends us to be —

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

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

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

We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

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

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
