                Today's Readings

 

2 Thessalonians 3: 6-10, 16-18

    In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we urge you, brothers, to keep away from any of the brothers who lives an undisciplined life, not in accordance with the tradition you received from us.

    You know how you should take us as your model: we were not undisciplined when we were with you, nor did we ever accept food from anyone without paying for it; no, we worked with unsparing energy, night and day, so as not to be a burden on any of you. This was not because we had no right to be, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to imitate.

We urged you when we were with you not to let anyone eat who refused to work.

    May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.

    This greeting is in my own hand—PAUL. It is the mark of genuineness in every letter; this is my own writing. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all

 

Psalm 128: 1-2, 4-5

How blessed are all who fear Yahweh, 
    who walk in his ways! 

Your own labours will yield you a living, 
    happy and prosperous will you be. 

Such are the blessings that fall 
    on those who fear Yahweh. 
May Yahweh bless you from Zion! 
May you see Jerusalem prosper 
    all the days of your life, 

 

Mark 6: 17-29  

 Now it was this same Herod who had sent to have John arrested, and had had him chained up in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife whom he had married. For John had told Herod, ‘It is against the law for you to have your brother’s wife.’ As for Herodias, she was furious with him and wanted to kill him, but she was not able to do so, because Herod was in awe of John, knowing him to be a good and upright man, and gave him his protection. When he had heard him speak he was greatly perplexed, and yet he liked to listen to him. 

    An opportunity came on Herod’s birthday when he gave a banquet for the nobles of his court, for his army officers and for the leading figures in Galilee. When the daughter of this same Herodias came in and danced, she delighted Herod and his guests; so the king said to the girl, ‘Ask me anything you like and I will give it you.’ And he swore her an oath, ‘I will give you anything you ask, even half my kingdom.’ She went out and said to her mother, ‘What shall I ask for?’ She replied, ‘The head of John the Baptist.’ The girl at once rushed back to the king and made her request, ‘I want you to give me John the Baptist’s head, immediately, on a dish.’ The king was deeply distressed but, thinking of the oaths he had sworn and of his guests, he was reluctant to break his word to her. At once the king sent one of the bodyguard with orders to bring John’s head. The man went off and beheaded him in the prison; then he brought the head on a dish and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

Sorrowful Mysteries

Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: I give to you the strength to carry all the trials which you are given. Let go and release yourself totally into My hands, for I am by your side and forever within you. Let go! I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am Mighty! I have all the power. I have all the power. Come to Me and surrender. Place yourself totally in My hands, for this is My work and I will accomplish this work through you if you release yourself and respond always in love. For I am the Almighty God. I am all powerful, worthy of all honor, glory and praise. My beloved, you are in the Presence of the Almighty God. Bend low and kiss the earth for I am truly the same Jesus Christ that hung on the cross, the same Jesus Christ that walked the earth. I am in this room ever attentive to all your needs. Take all of the tauntings in your heart, the pressure in your mind that Satan has created and let go and focus totally on Me. Place yourself in My hands. I am Jesus, Son of the living God, with you truly present in this room. 

2. Jesus: How you turn to Me will affect the lives of so many souls this day. Harken to My call. I am Jesus and I ask you to pray to the Spirit to fill you with the fearlessness of the Apostles, to move steadfastly ahead, to operate always in love but in firmness, for I am using you to spread this message to the world. 

3. Jesus: Be with Me in the Garden. See as I kneel there alone. You are with Me at this moment and your mind is filled with many things. I am the Almighty God. I have all the power. You come My child, you are weak. You do not realize that you must surrender and give yourself totally to Me for I am working in you, through you and with you and you will accomplish many things through the grace that I am giving to you. Let go to Me. Let Me operate your life. Surrender, let go to Me. I love you.

4. Jesus: The pressing down that you feel in your mind many times when you are burdened with problems, is an agony. Release and let go. Many torments you will experience each day. These are crosses I am allowing you to suffer to come to My Heart. Release yourself. Come and dwell in the Heart of My Mother and dwell deeply in My Heart. 

5. Jesus: No problem is too big for the Might of God! 

6. Jesus: Satan aims to trip you up and create division in your families and in your lives in communities, in people who need to work together. I am Jesus. You must focus totally on Me. Come and dwell in My Heart. Come and live in My Heart. Minute by minute, second by second, know I am with you. Make Spiritual Communions all through the day. Release and respond always with love. 

7. Jesus: I saw all that I would suffer, all the persecution, the beatings, the spittings, but My deepest agonies were not the agonies that I experienced to the outside of My body, but the pain within; the pain in the Garden and continued until My death! 

8. Jesus: Do you feel pressed on? Do you know what it is to suffer; to suffer without release? A continuous suffering of immense, intense pain and the relief came in My death. 

9. Jesus: I give to you many crosses to carry and you experience this release at certain times. The intensity of My pain was so intense, so penetrating, it did not stop. It continued and continued until I gave My last breath! 

10. Jesus: Do you know pain? Do you know mental torture? My dear ones, you do not know the agonies that I suffered. Knowing all the sins of all men, the soul that I loved so dearly, each and every sin that they committed. You do not know the agony that I suffered, suffered so that My sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground. My dear ones, it is in the surrendering that you will feel freedom of letting go to God. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Satan aims to divide all of the workers here at this Center. No one is listening to My messages. You must hold tight for I am forever with you. I am the Almighty God. I will tend to all My work if you stay steadfastly fixed in Me. Satan wants to take you out. He attacks the leaders to discredit the place. He has focused on discrediting leaders. He wants to discredit priests and hierarchy. You must listen. Pray the prayers I gave Fr. Carter for the priests, the Church and the world and spread these prayer chapters, now, in all languages, to the world.

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar 

1. R. And they led Him away and they had Him scourged. Who are these men that they scourged the Son of God? Jesus complied always to the Will of the Father. 

Jesus: Always in compliance to the Father's Will, always obedience My dear Ones. Live according to the Father's Will. Obey always your Superiors, follow the Church. I am Jesus. I work in the Church. I complied to the Will of the Father. They beat My body, My body covered with wounds, blood spurted in the air. My dear ones, there is peace in following the Will of the Father, always obedient. 

2. Jesus: I have given you My Church. Obey the Holy Father. My dear ones, I work in My Church. I complied to the Will of the Father all through My Passion. You too must comply to His Will. Obey the commandments, your Superiors, the rules of those over you in the Church, in good religious orders.

3. Jesus: Many are willful in their ways, and do what they want to do. I am calling you to obedience to follow the laws of the Church. I am Jesus. Spend time with Me each day. It is only in these silent moments that you will hear My voice speaking in your heart. Satan will create much division and confusion in your lives. Respond with love and obedience to the Church. 

4. Jesus: Pray the prayers I gave Fr. Carter in the prayer manual for the priests, the Church and the world. Spread these prayers.

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

 
5. Jesus: I stood at the Pillar, My hands tied, My body beaten and wounded. I did not argue back; always in compliance to His Will, always surrendering in lack of resistance. I knew always the Father's love. There was not fear or anxiousness for I knew His Will and I complied always to His Will. In deepest suffering, I complied to the Will of the Father. You will struggle much in your life. You must comply to His Will even in the deepest suffering you must comply to the Will of the Father. I was beaten and crowned with thorns, but I complied always to the Will of the Father. 

6. Jesus: Satan will create confusion and doubt in your lives. You will find steadfastness in My way when you come and spend time alone with Me. Spend your days in union with Me. Satan will press harder and harder as time is drawing neigh, My dear ones, and the work you do is so important to the work of salvation. Release yourselves and realize that second by second you must come and dwell in My Heart. 

7. Jesus: My Mother stood by and she watched, she was so weak. My dear ones, if you saw the torture at the Pillar, you too would know My love. You are being persecuted this day. Satan is pressing down with many problems at hand, in your minds. Release yourself and totally surrender to the Father's Will. I am Jesus. It is in complying to His Will that you will do the work that is necessary to help lead souls to Me. 

8.  Jesus: Do not be willful; be yielding. Give to the Father's Will. Pray to the Spirit to know His Will. The plan of the Father is unfolding. Each person has their part to play. It is only in surrender that you will accomplish the task at hand. No person needs to bump heads with another person. Come to Me and let Me fill you with the strength and the grace that you need to accomplish this task at hand. 

9. Jesus: Always love. As I was scourged at the Pillar I responded with love. Let your ways be sweet. Let your tongue be kind. Let your heart be filled with love of God. Focus on God's will.

1 Corinthians 2: 9

"What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;"
 

Jesus: My dear ones, be humble and kind and sweet to one another. I am Jesus, your beloved. I love each person. 

10. Jesus: This is a special time. This is a special place. This is a special day. This is First Friday. This is the hour between twelve and three o'clock. My dear ones, this time is so special to Me. Let go and come to My Heart and experience the love that I want to give you.

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. Jesus: Do you feel the pressure of this day? Do you know what it is to suffer so intently that the pain does not stop? My dear ones, I ask you to come to My Heart and rest securely in My Heart, for there is love and peace in the Heart of Jesus. Many graces I give to you on the First Friday of every month. Make reparation to the Heart of Jesus for all of the sinfulness and neglect and indifference in this world this day. Look at this world My dear ones, so many have gone astray and do not even think one thought of God. You must pray as you have never prayed before for many will lose their souls and be condemned to the fires of hell. Let not your hearts be haughty, let not you be filled with pride. Come with a heart that is soft and supple, sweet and kind. A heart that will unite in deepest union with the Heart of Jesus. 

2. Jesus: Worry not for the sins of your brother. Come to Me and focus on My love. Surrender and I will tend to your every need. 

3. Jesus: You are a pillar of strength in this world that is crumbling. Come to Me and I will fill you with the cement that you need to set you firmly on this ground. Many will crumble and fall by the wayside but you will remain strong and steadfast in My love. This world is undergoing tremendous sufferings. Many do not even know that their hearts have turned cold and black. I ask you My beloved ones, to come to My Heart and let Me fill your hearts with My immense love. 

4. Jesus: You see before you the crown of thorns surrounding My Heart. The prickling to My gentle Heart of love for all of those who have forgotten God, who treat Me with such indifference and hatred. My dear ones, your heart too, will be pricked by many but I am Jesus and in this suffering you are drawn closer and closer to My Heart. 

5. Jesus: Harken to Me! Come and sit with Me on the mock throne they gave to Me. Feel the crown on your head and the spit as it settles on your face. My dear ones, hear the angry words of those I loved and gave My life for. I ask you to suffer the persecution you are suffering this day and to keep your hearts soft and supple and kind. A heart that is joined to Jesus is not proud. A heart that is joined to Jesus is filled with love and yielding, caring for others and giving.

My dear ones, come and let Me unite so close to your heart. I long and thirst to be in such union with you. To have union with the Almighty God, an espousal union between you and God, My dear ones. If you realized the immensity of My love for you, you would not fear and be in such anguish. You would come to Me and let Me minister to you in your needs. I am Jesus, ever attentive, at every second, with every breath you take, and you fret and fume and worry. Release, surrender and I will give to you all that you need. 

6. Jesus: Burning with love for Me, do you come to Me and profess your love that you scarce can breathe and tell Me of your love? I am waiting My dear ones. You worry for such needless things and the Almighty God is waiting for you to come. I am Jesus. I love you! I love you! I love you. Come to My Heart. Let go and surrender. Do not be prideful. Do not be anxious. Come with a heart that is gentle and filled with love. 

7. Jesus: I give to you great gifts in this rosary. I am telling you My dear ones, the messages of My Heart. Meditate on the mysteries of My great love for you. I have chosen you and called you here to give you knowledge and insight into the hidden mysteries of My love. Release and let go. Make your hearts soft and supple, kind and yielding, not prideful, but filled with genuine love for one another. I ask you to love, as I have loved you. To My death on the cross, I gave My all for love of you. I ask you to love God above everything with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being and to love one another as you love yourself. Love! Love! Love! To unite with your heart - you must be soft and supple in heart, not hard of heart.

8. Jesus: Sweetness, My dear ones. How is the tone of your voice? How are you giving My love to this world? Are you the lights that are shining in the darkness or are you anxious and worried and projecting many seeds of hatred? My dear ones, you must come to My Heart and dwell in My Heart. For Satan is pressing down on you at every moment trying to stop you. You, I have called. You, I will nourish. You, I will send as warriors into this world to give love, to be lights that shine in the dark night. Come to Me. Come and spend time with Me and let Me fill you with My love. I am Jesus. I am giving to you great gifts. I am sharing with you the mysteries of My Heart on this First Friday between twelve and one o'clock. I am giving you insight into the hidden mysteries that will remain in your heart for years to come. I love you! I love you! I love you! Come and dwell within My Heart. 
 

2 Thessalonians 1: 1-5, 11-12

    Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church in Thessalonica which is in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    We must always thank God for you, brothers; quite rightly, because your faith is growing so wonderfully and the mutual love that each one of you has for all never stops increasing. Among the churches of God we take special pride in you for your perseverance and faith under all the persecutions and hardships you have to bear. It all shows that God’s judgement is just, so that you may be found worthy of the kingdom of God; it is for the sake of this that you are suffering now.

    In view of this we also pray continually that our God will make you worthy of his call, and by his power fulfil all your desires for goodness, and complete all that you have been doing through faith so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and you in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 

9. R. And He filled them with abundant grace as they sat before Him. Jesus Christ, the Son of God outpouring His life into their souls and they felt this light with such vibrancy within their being. And they were filled, with hearts that were filled to the brim with His love and He came and gave them peace, love and joy. 

Jesus: I am Jesus. I give to you, My beloved ones, great gifts. I reveal to you the mysteries of My heart on fire for love of man. 

10. Song: A Song from Jesus

Jesus: Do you feel pressed on My beloved ones? Do you feel that you have been abandoned? And that your life is very hard? Come and walk with Me; My Passion. Come as I go forward and carry My cross on your back, for I am Jesus and I am giving to you great gifts of My love. 
 

John 10: 2-4

He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gate-keeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice.

Jesus Carries His Cross to Calvary 

1. Jesus: I carried the cross on My back, stooped over, the weight of the sins of the world and I look at you this day as I carry this cross. I look into your eyes. Do you see, My dear ones, eyes that are filled with pride or eyes that are filled with tenderness and love? My Way always is to love. 

2. Jesus: Do not be prideful, do not be anxious. Come with your hearts supple and soft and let Me penetrate your soul with My Life and My Love. See before you the Son of man with the cross on His back covered with blood, His head crowned. My dear ones, have before your eyes the suffering face of the Lord Jesus Christ and in your suffering they will seem so small as compared to the sufferings of My Passion. 

3. R. A Heart that is haughty will not unite with the Heart of the Savior. God loves us and wants us to love Him. He is telling us about His love, do we listen. Do we believe Him deep in our roots? Are our roots saturated with faith, hope and love - Or are our roots filled with jealousy, pride, anger? Say Lord, I give You my life, body and soul, I trust in Thee.

4. Jesus: Be surrendering as I surrendered to the Will of the Father. I carried the cross on My back, My arms in such pain, ripped and torn. I carried this cross always complying to the Father's Will for love of you, dear ones. I carried this cross. Will you not carry the crosses that I give to you this day? Will you not surrender and say yes to the life that I am giving to you as you go through sufferings? You rise to new life in Me. Accept the cross. Do not give your crosses away. Come to Me and share deep, intimate moments with in your sufferings. I am Jesus. I am attentive to your every need. Carry your cross and you too will be raised to new life. It is a constant struggle of ups and downs of sufferings in life. I withstood all of the pain that was constant. The pain that did not stop from the Agony in the Garden until I died on the cross. There was not any relief My dear ones. You are given little crosses to carry. You are given an opportunity to come and dwell in My Heart and the Heart of My Mother. Come and take refuge in Our Hearts. Release yourselves for I will carry the load with you. I am your beloved Savior, attentive to your every need. I am your Savior. 

Song: A Song from Jesus

5. Jesus: Do you think that I would come and die on the cross and not be attentive to your needs of this moment? 

6. Jesus: I give to you My abundant life. I have outpoured My life to you in this room. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God truly present the same as the day I carried My cross on My back and I am in this room with you at this moment. Bend low and kiss the earth. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within the graced baptized soul. My sweet ones if you could see a soul that is saturated with grace, you would be in awe. 

7. Jesus: Do you count yourself blessed for all the great gifts that I am giving to you? Do you say thanks and praise your Father in Heaven? My beloved ones, you are so blessed and you go about this earth and whine and complain for your little crosses. See before you My eyes under the crown of thorns, the blood that pours down the sides of My face. Do you see this picture? Do you see the hollow cheeks and the blood that came forth from My mouth? But My greatest sufferings were not the sufferings that you see but the sufferings that I experienced to My Heart, filled with love, love for each beloved soul. 

8. Jesus: Come unto Me, My beloved one. Pray to Me, Pray to the Father. Pray to the Holy Spirit to guide you. You are surrounded by a choir of angels and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit live within your graced baptized soul. Do not let your lights dim, but shine in the darkest night for you My dear ones are filled with the Presence of the Almighty God within you. Release yourself. Say you are sorry to any that you have offended, for you My dear ones, are not perfect but I want you holy. I want you to strive to be perfect. You must forgive yourself and move on. I am Jesus. I scarcely could move with the cross on My back but My thoughts always of you and My immense love for you. I continued My way towards Calvary. My dear ones, will you not continue your way with the love that I give to you this day in your hearts. Will you be the lights that shine in the darkness, for the darkness is oh so dark in this world today and I am asking you to be a star that shines in the dark night. Be slow to anger, do not give into sin - Be a shining light.

9. Jesus: Let your hearts be brilliant and filled with My immense love. Let your hearts seek to know Me more and more. Thirst to be filled by Me. Be hearts that are beacon lights shining in this world. Be these hearts. I call you to such intimacy with Me. The more you unite to My Heart, the more you will shine and light up this earth. 

10. Jesus: Do not hold on to anger of the past. Live in the moment. Be what the Father wants you to be. Do not worry for the future. Live minute by minute, second by second saturated with My Life and My Love in you. Accept all that is given and strive to please your Heavenly Father who loves you with the deepest love.

Jesus Dies on the Cross 

1. Jesus: Do not make being right your god. Tell the truth - Seek truth. Try to solve all the problems that you are given with love. I am Jesus Christ and My Heart is a Heart that is filled with love. 

2. Jesus: I hung for three agonizing hours on the cross. I died a brutal death for you on the cross. Study My crucifix and My love.

3. Jesus: I give to you, My dear ones My beloved Mother. Mary guards you, and protects you and holds you under Her mantle. Come to the Heart of My Mother ever pure and dwelling in My Heart. As you dwell in My Mother's Heart, you will dwell in My Heart for My Mother dwells most perfectly in My Heart. Mary is pure and kind and loving. Come and dwell in the Heart of the Virgin Mary. 

4. Jesus: Love and hatred are not co-existent. You must release all feelings of hatred toward any person and approach that person with love. I am Jesus and the Plan of the Father is unfolding. Be yielding and loving, not prideful, not angry; kind and submissive, but firm in My ways of love. Come with love, My dear one. I am Jesus and I love you. 

5. Jesus: You do not need to bump heads. Each person is a thread in the tapestry and you My dear ones, are called especially by Me. Great gifts I am giving to you and instructing you on the ways of My life. 

6. Jesus: See the crucifix always before your eyes. My dear ones, see My body battered, bloodied and bruised. See the body of a man, the Son of God. This is the love, My dear one that I have for you. 

7. Jesus: I love! I love! I love! You are called to many sufferings, many mental torments, many pains within your body. I am Jesus and in these sufferings you are given new life. Accept all that I give you and love My dear ones. I call you to love, love of God with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being and love of each other. Love as I have loved you to My death. I died for you. 

8. Jesus: And My Heart was pierced with a lance and what came forth was blood and water. Blood for the Eucharist. Water for Baptism. I give to you Myself, My dear ones. I nourish you with My body and My blood. I give to you My dear ones, a sharing in My Life in baptism. Come and let Me saturate you with this life. I gave Myself on the cross, and I give Myself to you this day. I am Jesus, the Son of God, attentive to all your needs. 

9. Jesus: My Mother held Me at birth and She held Me under the cross. Go to the arms of My beloved Mother and she will hold you in her arms and protect you from the evils of this world. Satan has no power over you. I am the Almighty God. I have all the power and My power is endless. Come and dwell in Our Hearts. I give to you Myself dear ones. 

10. Jesus: Make Spiritual Communions all through the day and be united so deeply to Me, the Almighty God. Know the constant dwelling of the Almighty God within you: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and I live within your heart. My dear one, you are so blessed and favored. Open wide your hearts and let Me unite in deepest love with you.

I frequently make use of them when preparing my own Sunday homilies, because they are theologically solid but also very down-to-earth. Incidentally, I recently visited St. Gertrude's Priory (Dominican) in Cincinnati and during the Prayer of the Faithful, one of the friars prayed for Fr. Joe by name.

Guiding Light — Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light — Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

$ 10.00  plus postage

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

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #2 — CD. — Suffering: A Source of Life — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
