                In the Month of the Sacred Heart

                R. A habit of doing a certain thing –
                the right way, can be changed when
                a person decides to get up in front
                of everyone and do it their way –
                So next the others, because of their
                willfulness, decide it is okay to do
                it their way too.

                    Sunday's Gospel talked of justice
                and mercy. There must be laws to
                govern us, but we see that God in
                His love for us, forgives us when we
                ask for forgiveness and want to
                repent of our sins.

                    Forgiving and asking for forgiveness
                is a big thing. We see in the Our Father
                "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
                those who trespass against us."

                    Because people have tried to get their
                way and have forced bad behavior in
                the mix as acceptable, the norm, or
                so it appears, can keep changing more
                and more away from what God wants
                of us.

                    God's laws are given as gifts for
                us to follow. They are commandments.
                The devil tries to get us to make right →
                wrong and wrong → right.

                    God is Absolute truth. God is unchangeable.
                God wants us to obey Him. We see at the
                beginning of the Bible – God told Adam and
                Eve what to do and they disobeyed Him –
                There are consequences when we disobey
                God. Most of all they push us further
                away from our intimacy with God.
                Have you ever known you did something
                in a different way that God wanted
                and then said to God I think it was
                okay, God, please help it to work.

                    If we have veered from the plan
                God wanted us to follow and we know
                it – it would be better to say "I am
                sorry, God, please forgive me".
                How we think about what is God's
                will for us comes from deeper union
                with God, praying for faith to see
                what He wants of us and praying to
                the Holy Spirit for the moral virtues
                to do it the way God wants and the
                Gifts of the Holy Spirit to
                help us in our actions.

                    The more ways that are against
                God's will are accepted in the rules
                of our country – the more we have
                to ask God to help us to see what is
                right.

                    God has rules He has given us
                to follow. We are to obey the commandments,
                but if there is bad example all around
                us and even rules that say things are
                okay when they disobey the commandments
                of God – then we need to follow God's
                commandments and live by His Word –
                this is our truth. We pray to know
                what is right and wrong in the Holy Spirit Novena.

                    The devil wants to lead things off
                and it helps to reflect on what was
                the right way we were to operate
                when people have been forcing their
                dysfunction and willfulness and
                lawlessness because bad leadership
                tried to force this situation of
                lawlessness.

                    How do we swing the pendulum back
                to the original plan God the Father
                wanted, when a leader discredited
                the real authority and forced their
                dysfunction and ways against
                the plan.

                    We can study the Garden of Eden,
                when Adam and Eve disobeyed –
                He cast them from the Garden – He
                did not ignore what they did.

                    When things were getting more and
                more lawless at the time of Noah –
                he preserved the human race by
                the upright – Noah and his
                descendants and He allowed the earth to
                be flooded.

                    In giving us this Movement, God
                has given us many messages about
                love and union with Him. When Jesus
                is the King and center of our hearts
                and we follow Him, consecrate our hearts
                to Jesus and to Mary, our spiritual Mother,
                we know we will have hearts of love
                as God wants. Jesus is the way, the
                truth and the life. When we give
                our heart to His Heart – we follow
                Him and His ways. So God asked Fr. Carter
                to spread the Consecration to the
                Two Hearts all over the world.

                    And God asked Fr. Carter to spread these
                prayers with devotion to the Two Hearts
                all over the world. We have these
                prayers in 8 languages.

                    We can answer the call of God
                to do this – or settle in and make
                our own rules and not do it.

                    The question becomes when God
                is asking us to do one thing and we
                do something else instead of what
                God asks for – where is the drive,
                desire to disobey God and do something
                else coming from.

                    Opposing God's will makes conflict
                in ourselves with God.

                    Our actions opposed to what is
                just has consequences, we can't
                just do what we want. We must
                discipline our actions – We must
                live by the moral virtues if we
                want to do the right thing according
                to God. Pray for the virtues of
                temperance and fortitude and justice
                and prudence.

                    I went to the eye doctor, long ago
                and he put lots of lenses before my
                eyes and he said "is this right" –
                "is this right" – "is this right" –

                    That is how I see it God wants us
                to see through the eyes of the heavenly
                Father – His plan for us – His will
                for us –

                    He keeps saying put on the right
                vision – see through my eyes –

                    A certain person once accused
                many people of being dysfunctional –
                That is a true statement – we see at
                the time of Noah how God flooded
                the earth because of the waywardness
                of men and wickedness of them and
                he kept Noah and his family.

                    A person that sees themselves in the
                light of Christ wants to change when
                he has bad habits, he does not want
                to blame others for his isolated,
                controlling ways. He wants what
                Christ wants and since we are
                all imperfect and in need of conversion,
                a person knows that he is part of the
                puzzle when God put us together to
                work with each others.

                    When we see we have contributed
                through bad example to others suffering
                and going in the wrong direction –
                repenting we tell God we will try
                to change and give a good example
                to help correct the wrong we did.

                    When we disobey God we hurt our
                relationship with God. When we
                are unjust to God and others we
                hurt our relationship with God
                and others.

                    When God calls us to a particular
                vocation – like saints, sisters and
                brothers, priests living in communities,
                families, marriage – there is a lot
                of work asking for forgiveness and
                forgiving others to bring unity to
                a community. We all have a wounded
                human nature and we are learning
                how to be more and more in the
                image of Jesus.

                    When we know God has called us
                to a vocation – we don't leave
                because we and others are
                imperfect. God may be teaching
                us a valuable lesson we need to
                learn for our salvation in the
                situation we are in. If we know
                God has called us there to do this
                work, we cannot abandon our
                calling because of others willfulness
                or our need to control and run things
                when it is out of order.

                    God works is structure. God
                has given us rules to follow –

                    All our actions must have as our
                goal that of bringing us to eternal happiness
                in heaven. When actions are performed
                because of bitterness, anger, jealousy,
                pride, lust, slothfulness, gluttony,
                they are not performed as God wants.
                Such actions performed because of
                deadly sins have consequences that
                hurt our relationship with God and
                others.

                The person who commits these sins
                must ask God and others for forgiveness
                to restore their relationship with
                others.

                    If a man will never admit he
                did anything wrong – he is missing
                what is necessary to work on his relationship
                with others and with God.

                    These actions of a man based on the
                deadly sins: pride, greed, envy, wrath,
                lust, gluttony, and sloth - have consequences.
                The man whose actions are directed at
                eternal happiness and using right
                reasoning will find true happiness.
                When actions are based on the deadly
                sins he will lose, ultimately, happiness.

                    We can ask ourselves - is this action
                I am performing morally right.
                Where there is not responsibility and
                accountability for one's actions –
                that man has a problem in his
                relationship with God – he can
                blame anybody he wants –

                We are accountable to God for our sins
                of hatred against God and our neighbor.
                We have responsibility before God for
                positions we hold in authority to
                do what is the will of God in
                directing others' lives and dealing
                with others.

                Leadership has responsibility before
                God. We are accountable in a
                serious way how we lead in
                example and correctness of duty
                before others.

                Our actions have consequences!
                Our actions must be morally
                right. How we act will take us
                to happiness or away from happiness.

                When a man operates in his actions with
                    the goal of eternal happiness and
                    right reason and according to
                    God's will in love –
                    he reaches out in serving the
                    Divine God and helping to build
                    the Kingdom of God.

                    When a man controls his actions
                against right reasoning, with malice
                and according to the deadly sins of
                pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony,
                and sloth – he limits the scope of what
                he is doing in his selfish ways –
                He narrows down to a small space –
                his space of serving himself
                and walking in darkness.

                This ultimately brings great unhappiness
                    because he opposed God's will for
                    him, it makes him unhappy when
                    he has conflict with God.

                    We are to prepare for eternity –
                We are to walk in the light and
                build up what God has asked
                us to do.
                    Not close down in darkness –
                trying to keep ourselves confined
                in a small safe place –

                    Every man can choose what
                God's will is for him or reject it
                because he has a free will.

                We are to choose actions that are
                in right reason and help us
                to grow in our relationship
                with God and others and
                to have the vision of the
                heavenly Father.

                God the Father doesn't want us
                    performing acts in anger
                    and jealousy, bitterness
                    and pride.
                    Even the man in darkness
                    knows he doesn't feel
                    good when he does this –

                Darkness inside from bad choices
                    of determining one's actions
                    on past anger, jealousy,
                    envy, pride, slothfulness
                    etc. –
                    becomes a way of life for
                        a man when he continues
                        in these dark ways,
                        hurting his relationship with
                        God and others.

                The man of light – sees the light –
                    knows his life is to be lived
                    in developing a greater
                    relationship with God and others.

                He is accountable and responsible for
                    his actions before God and in
                    dealing with others –

                Our life is to be lived in growing
                    in loving relationships
                    with God and others –

                We have one life to live and this life
                    is to be lived preparing us
                    for eternal relationship in love
                    with God forever.

                We are here to base our actions on
                    that goal of eternal happiness,
                    actions are because of right reason
                    according to the will of God
                    in love –
