Sirah 15: 14-20

He himself made human beings in the beginning,
    and then left them free to make their own decisions.
If you choose, you will keep the commandments
    and so be faithful to his will.
He has set fire and water before you;
    put out your hand to whichever you prefer.
A human being has life and death before him;
    whichever he prefers will be given him.
For vast is the wisdom of the Lord;
    he is almighty and all–seeing.
His eyes are on those who fear him,
    he notes every human action.
He never commanded anyone to be godless,
    he has given no one permission to sin.

 

Sirah 16: 19-21

The mountains and earth’s foundations alike
    quail and tremble when he looks at them.
But to all this no one gives thought.
    Who keeps his movements in mind?
The storm wind itself is invisible,
    and most of what he does goes undetected.

 

Sirah 17: 19-20

Their actions are all as plain as the sun to him,
    and his eyes rest constantly on their conduct.
Their iniquities are not hidden from him,
    all their sins are before the Lord.

 

Sirah 21: 1-2

My child, have you sinned? Do so no more,
    and ask forgiveness for your previous faults.
Flee from sin as from a snake,
    if you approach it, it will bite you;
its teeth are lion’s teeth,
    they take human life away.

 

                            Sing:  Pardon Your People

 

Excerpt from March 2, 2005 message

Jesus speaks:         You can become
                                    habitually
                                        negative —

                            You can think negatively
                                most or all of the time.

                            I give you a golden sun
                                it is so huge to your
                                eye — looking
                                fire-like and you
                                crawl into your
                                negative corner —
                                you can be selfish — so
                                self focused — you
                                look inward at
                                what you want —
                                you focus on the ground —
                                you can give into satan —

                            Many people say rosary after
                                rosary, Our Father after
                                Our Father and never learn
                                to forgive —

                            It is words I say and some
                                lack mercy —
                                will they be merciful
                                to those who offend them —

                            They call themselves holy, pride
                                themselves on their holiness and
                                lack love

                            I forgave those who put me to
                                death —

                            You can have bags of unforgiveness and
                                then try to pin your hatred
                                on a scapegoat —

                            They piled the sins on My back —
                                I carried your sins of
                                unforgiveness —
                                mercy —

                            You want forgiveness for your sins,
                                but you don't forgive others

                            You go to the Eucharist - half
                                heartedly to receive Me and
                                when you leave the church
                                you speak of others with
                                a discerning tongue and
                                fail to see your own faults or
                                look at how unforgiving
                                you might be —

                            Did you watch little ones at
                                play —

                            They may want a toy another has so
                                much, but when distracted they
                                usually don't come back
                                to take up old arguments —

                            Some adults remember so many
                                unforgiving things and remember
                                them wrong

                            I loved you so much, I gave My
                                life for you

                            Sing:  Pardon Your People

                            Discernment of Spirits —

                                Do you act on every whim
                                    you have —

                                Do you ask yourself if
                                    - this is from God —
                                    - just something you think —
                                    - or if the devil is giving you
                                        a prompting —
                                        leading you off

                            Then when you know you should
                                say something — it ruins
                                someone's reputation —
                                you do it anyway —

                            You have a choice to be holy or
                                not —

                            Do you take things into your own
                                hands and say it is for a greater
                                good and disobey authority —
                                raise yourself above those
                                over you so you weaken
                                the very structure — because
                                of your pride and how you give
                                into satan to try to raise
                                yourself up.

                            A person — passively and aggressively
                                attacked the institution because
                                they themselves were full of
                                negativity and unforgiveness —
                                they were dark and unhappy
                                inside because
                                they chose to be that way.

                            For years they hurt the institution
                                because they didn't really
                                want to be under anyone —

                            If you opened up their mouth and
                                looked in — you could
                                always see negativity
                                ready to come out —
                                rigidity was the devil's playground
                                with them —

                            they really failed to work in
                                harmony, they were miserable,
                                they didn't want union and
                                they wanted to control
                                their own life the way
                                they wanted        

Jesus speaks:     Some try to preserve their lives
                                through food and drink,
                                and fail to tend to their
                                heart.

                            A man who harbors, anger and division
                                in his heart, chokes the very
                                life he may seek with
                                healthy foods —

                            A heart filled with love sends the
                                gift of life to the body —
                                one who sends his heart a
                                dirty rag, washes his
                                insides with his dirty,
                                dark rag —

                                Who would clean the table
                                    with the chemical that
                                    scours it for cleanest
                                    use and send the dark
                                    dismal thoughts of division,
                                    pride and disharmony
                                    to his soul —

                            Wash your tables with a clear liquid —
                                send your heart the thoughts of
                                love, harmony, obedience —

                            When a pipe is clogged little water
                                flows —

                                When a man squeezes his vessels
                                    with anger and discontent he
                                    squeezes the life of the
                                    soul —

                                A heart beats in the body — life
                                    flows in the blood —

                                My Heart is a Heart of love —
                                Your heart filled with love will
                                    feed your body life —
                                Your heart filled with anxiousness,
                                    discontent, anger, competition,
                                    hatred - fills your heart with
                                    "cruds" and clogs your pipes.

                            Oh that you would realize that
                                white washing your tombs and
                                eating a dirty rag, may look
                                good outside, but inside where
                                it counts you wear a dark,
                                mud caked fluid that settles
                                in your aching joints.

                            Oh Jerusalem, you are cleaning your
                                closets of debris and fail to look
                                in your hearts — there where lurks
                                your impurities and your biggest
                                dirt —

                            I give you a heart to love —

                            I show you the symbol of My Heart
                                filled with a golden glow and
                                radiating life — but wounded
                                for your sins.

                            You fail to see the connection of the
                                clogged arteries and the
                                clogged spiritual
                                life you have.

                            Oh you the Master of the body —
                                the all knowing of a human
                                heart —
                                you know not of the heart
                                of love —

                            You are focused on your mud and
                                the things at the bottom of
                                the mountain — you have
                                become obsessive in your
                                ways — trying to wash your
                                socks and scour your
                                dishes —

                            When your heart hangs with
                                misery, unforgiveness, sin
                                and you lack mercy.

                            Wash your heart of that ugly
                                debris —

                            Wash your hands of the Blood
                                of the Savior —
                                put aside your pride and guilt and
                                act likened to Me —
                                don't model your actions after he
                                    who wants to steal your
                                    soul —

                                A dark room is just that —
                                    a dark room —

                                and a light room is filled with
                                    marvelous light
  

 

Proverbs 4: 22-26

For they are life to those who find them
    and health to all humanity.
More than all else, keep watch over your heart,
    since here are the wellsprings of life.
Turn your back on the mouth that misleads,
    keep your distance from lips that deceive.
Let your eyes be fixed ahead,
    your gaze be straight before you.
Let the path you tread be level
    and all your ways be firm.

     

March 2, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:     Oh that you would see with the
                                eyes of faith —
                            Oh that you would see with
                                eyes unveiled —

                            Focus not on the things of the body
                                and forget the things of the soul —

                            Listen to the voice within that
                                tells you more —
                                Oh that you studied the Creator
                                    in His creation —

                                That you studied the physical
                                    to know the One Who
                                    created things.

                                But you study how it works
                                    as the end in itself and
                                    fail to see the author of
                                    life and know about Him —

                                Oh men can be blind or filled
                                    with wisdom —
                                    look beyond and focus
                                    on what this teaches
                                    you about the life
                                    hereafter.

                            Oh the lessons of youth can be long
                                lost to the clogged minds men
                                have in their old age —

                            Would that you could build on
                                what you knew to know
                                more about the life hereafter —
                                instead of learning more to
                                become more rigid and fixed
                                in ways that may become
                                immovable and without
                                change or growth —

                            One who settles in, in his old age —
                                has ceased to see that
                                growth comes when one
                                continues to grow — not
                                stay static
