Prayer for Grace for our Country
Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

R. Sanctification – Come Holy Spirit and Sanctify our hearts.
Does God like division in hearts?
How does God like holding onto
anger in our hearts –The Shepherds of Christ is about dwelling in
holiness in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.Mary's heart is pure –
What is in the heart will be what
comes out!!Sing this: Psalm 83:3
"My heart and my flesh have rejoiced
in the living God."Oh my God help us to perform our
actions for the honor and glory of
God.The body can suffer, but we see the
body of Jesus and how He
suffered as He obeyed the
Father's will.Sing Psalm 83: 3
"My heart and my flesh have rejoiced
in the living God."We see the Conversion of St. Paul –
We see the Conversion of St. Augustine –
We know the lives of the
holy saints –We see saints tempering rebelliousness
to be witnesses to God –"You think you can't."
That is what satan tells one
addicted to rebellion –God says:
"You think you can't change.""You can because of My grace –
you were created in the
image and likeness of God."How satan gets people stuck in
rebellion, stubbornness,
won't budge, selfishness
and willfulness –Sing Psalm 83: 3
"My heart and my flesh have rejoiced
in the living God."Look at the care of the body –
How can we ignore the care of the
soul –Treat the soul so it is holy –
If Christ shown a light on
the soul –How would it look –
Sing Psalm 83: 3
"My heart and my flesh have rejoiced
in the living God."If a person has a wounded heart
can they ignore anger,
jealousy, pride, envy,
unloving habits?Satan comes and he wants a
person to get drama –
negative attention,
noisiness, traps.The touch of the Holy Spirit is gentle,
moving the soul gently,
mildly by the All Powerful
hand of God –God is the Eternal King –
The King of eternity –
What is our rush –
Slow down – we must
wait on His timing –Sing Psalm 83: 3
"My heart and my flesh have rejoiced
in the living God."Look at the preparation for
the Messiah –Years upon years –
Look at the lives of those who
spent years rebelling,
but were converted in
the end by God's grace
and prayer –God can work gently and
slowly because He is
the eternal King!Sing Psalm 83: 3
"My heart and my flesh have rejoiced
in the living God."God loves us even when we
sin.God is all merciful –
God wants us to ask for,
forgiveness for the rupture
we effect in our
relationship with God
when we sin.Sing: Prayer for Union
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul.
Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.The soul is to reflect God –
Be full of light and love –
Treat it as you should.
The source of love is God –
And a mighty wind came and it
blew and blew the ships not
tied down securely –
Jesus is the rock –
Tie yourself to Him –
Lest you be blown here
or there at a moment's notice –Steady your running engines
and wear a heart of love –
Be not rebellious but obedient
to God.And in all you do, put on
the robe of gratitude – a
loving belt hewn with
Courage – Confident in
God's Saving Power and Presence.Sing: Your Presence Pervades My Soul
R. We help in the work of Redemption.
R. Love transforms hearts –
Love unites Men –
Love is Contagious –Selfishness dies the moment
it is acted out –
Who is warmed by ice
on their hearts –
Sing: "He who is joined to the
Lord is one spirit with Him."Jesus prayed we would be one.
Jesus wants us one with Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.Jesus wants to live in us and
we in Him.Jesus wants us to be working
in purifying our hearts –Jesus wants us to operate
in our hearts as
He loves through us
is a light shining
from our hearts in us.Sing: Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul.
Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.Sing: 1 Corinthians 6: 17
But anyone who attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.
God calls us to bear fruit for
the Kingdom of God.Sing: We Have Been Told
Jesus gives us the Mass –
The Sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made
present.
A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
R. God wants us to live as
the Spouse of Jesus.
A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
Song: Prayer for Union with Jesus
(refrain)Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
(refrain)When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)
From Blue Book 18
Excerpt from the Priestly Newsletter Issue 1, 1998
Thoughts from a Spiritual Journal
Here are certain reflections from a spiritual journal. Notice how Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Mary enter into the person’s experience:
“Well, the night was black, as black as black could be and the cold pierced my bones. I felt its chill go through my entire body and I wanted to scream and it happened—He gave me an outpouring of His life in my soul and my darkness was truly turned to light, another light, not the light of the eyes, a light of knowing God, the joy of beholding His heavenly embrace, the great illumination of another mystery. Oh such sweet gifts He gives when, in an instant, I pray my rosary and the Holy Spirit fills my heart with lights and the mystery lights up and I know, I just know, and I experience a great insight into God.
“This is the reason for this letter, for I laid on my bed and I wanted to cry and I was deeply afraid for the demons pressed in as rocks poking at me and hurting my precious skin. I laid in bed and I went into the womb of my Mother Mary and I asked for the Holy Spirit to flood me with His light and it came: death- resurrection, darkness-light, sorrow-joy, suffering and pain, but oh, the joy of His light, the joy of His glory. It is in the death there is the resurrection.
“So, I walk the road to Calvary. I mount the cross and I die. I offer sacrifice and in the morning when the night is done I see the glory of the resurrection. I experience His joy in my heart.
“So I went to bed and went into the womb of my Mother Mary and the Holy Spirit flooded me with light and I united deeply to my precious Jesus on the cross. I know Him and His love. I reminisced on all the places of deepest intimacy I had shared with Him and my heart burned. I wanted Him to be so close to me, and I loved Him so much. I cried out, ‘I love you, I love you, I love you.’ In that moment I knew Him. He had removed my bonds and set me free. I then knew Jesus as never before.
“I felt my great love for God the Father. I have been experiencing my littleness as a child and knowing my Father, seeing myself very little and knowing my Father and wanting as a little child to please Him. Then tonight I realized more His Fatherly love. I saw myself depending on Him, needing Him, crying to Him, loving Him and then I realized His might and love coming to me.
“So I knew in an instant. He gives you a light and you know. I experienced the Trinity. My heart was consumed. I was engulfed in the love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I stopped to be in the embrace, wanting it to never end, for in this embrace I felt peace, a peace I had not felt before, so different from the days that had proceeded this moment, the days of suffering and trial.
“I mounted the cross. I felt the nails press deeply into my hands and feet. I felt the crown of thorns on my head. I said to Him, “Oh, why, my God, if you love me, do you make it so hard?”
“And then I pictured Jesus on the cross. I saw His mouth with blood running from the corner of it. I saw the body of one close to death. I saw His wounds, blistery and red, pouring out His precious blood. I saw the hollowness of His cheeks and the exhaustion of one ready to expire in death. I saw the anguishing Lord Who came to show us His way. His way is death and resurrection. His way is pain and glory. His way is the way to eternal life!”
...If you cease to believe, who will be the leader? All I have called through you must realize they are the leaders. No one may appear to be near, no one is in line behind you. You must be constantly motivated by faith. It comes down to this – it is your belief. For, if I call you and you do not hear Me, then My work will not get done. For I am calling you and you can plug up your ears, but souls are being lost at this very moment that you can be helping through your faith. You must have fervor in your prayers.Excerpt from April 1, 1997
Jesus:
Satan attacks you all day, in prayer and in work. Will you listen to him or to Me?
I am begging you to see Me alive before you as I came forth from the tomb, glistening and all white. I am here. I have called you by name. You are the apostles I am calling. If you say ‘no’ the work will not get done.
Read this letter over and over and when you are alone and feel as if you are standing on the hill by yourself see the heavens open up. See Me in celestial light as you saw Me transfigured on the altar. See the great vision of March 26, 1996. Read that message. See Me almost dead on the cross as I was on December 5, 1996 at Immaculata. See My lips move and hear Me speak. No one is listening. They will hear you speak. They will respond to you.
If you give into satan, they will not hear and they will not know for his whole attempt is to silence you.
So you go to the hilltop. You are close to Me. You look around and you see no one. Below the hill is a throng of people. They have forgotten I exist. The heavens open and I appear and the sky is filled with saints and angels. They continue talking and laughing at the bottom of the hill. The celestial light falls upon them and they continue as in a fog and as blind men to focus on the rocks and the things of this earth. And you speak.
R.
The voice of the Good Shepherd.Jesus:
The voice they hear is your voice from the top of the mountain. You appear to be alone by these blind men, but the heavenly court has surrounded you and you see not with earthly vision but with the eyes of faith and you speak in My Name...3.
April 1, 1997 continues“Glory and Praise to God! Hear the words of your Savior. Listen from the mountain top for He has risen and we are His witnesses.”
Excerpt from the Talk February 1, 1998 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
St. John of the Cross in one of his writings says—of course he is one of the greatest mystical theologians in the history of the Church and in one of his writings he says, “What does it profit you to give God one thing if He wishes for another? Consider what it is God wants and then do it.”
Let’s read that again together “What does it profit you to give God one thing if He wishes for another? Consider what it is God wants and then do it.”
[Father Carter is speaking to Servants and Handmaids of the Good Shepherd— Apostles who dedicate themselves completely to the Shepherds of Christ Ministries—]
Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error...
Excerpt from January 6, 1998 Rosary
The Crowning with Thorns
10. Jesus: ... It is through your suffering that great grace is released for the brethren, the sick ones that are in this world. I bid you to come to My Heart, to take your sufferings and to love. No matter what you are given, you must love. I love you. I love you. You do not comprehend My love for you. You are wishy-washy, and you do not understand how truly I love you. I am a constant Lover. If you knew My love, you would not be afraid. But you do not know how much love I have for you. You think, at times, you are unloved. And you go to the world to find that which the world cannot give you. It is found in Me. Oh, My little ones, so many simple things you do not understand that would make your life so much easier. You must know that I love you all the time. Tap on My Heart, and ask Me, “Do You really love me, Jesus? Will You leave me, Jesus? Will You be there for me, Jesus?” For many of you are afraid of being abandoned, many of you, you, the chosen ones that I have given so much love. And you are afraid that you will not have enough love, that you will be left without love.

R. Dear Jesus,
Jesus: My child, I am here with you, never doubt Me. Satan is constantly telling you, you do not do enough, oh little one, do not listen to satan. Love Me, let go to My love. I know this, I am very pleased with your work. I am pleased to be with you now. Come to Me all who labor and are heavily burdened and I give you rest. I give you food for your journey and love in your soul and you child are filled by My love. I am the tenderest and gentlest of Hearts, hear My words and listen to My voice My child. I am Jesus, Son of the one true God, I love you intently, I am your precious lover, I am He who waits for you day and night. I am your God, daughter, I am here in this church, come and be with Me, let Me dwell fully in your heart, I am your Savior. I love you. Let your hearts be not troubled, come to the Lord, I will bind up the weak and make you strong, I kiss your wounds and send you on your way. Follow My way, stay on My road, stay fixed on Me, stay in My precious Heart. I am Jesus, your Savior, My Heart is on fire for love of men. My light is purple and white, My love I give to you.
R. Without You Jesus, the stars would cease to shine. With You we are made whole. You breathe Your life into our soul and we feel You deep inside. Where have they all gone Jesus, your pews are empty. Your church has been left bare. Few sit with You, who listens to Your pleadings here Lord? Where are they all? Have they gone astray? I must stay fixed in You at every second. Alleluia, Alleluia.
Jesus: You are very tired My child, that is okay, I do not leave your side, I am here and I am attentive to your needs. Look to Me, turn to Me, I make your way right.
And I fill you with a glorious light, My light shines on you My child. I pour this light on you. You are My beloved child, I make the sun shine for you and I make the night for you to sleep. I make this world for you. I am Jesus, present with you, My child, I am here. Focus on My face, I am Jesus, your precious Jesus, I am the Son of God, I give you what you need, come to Me and pray for what you need.
You are favored. I am here little one, but you do not know Me as you so desire. My light shines as the brightest light, but you do not feel Me, My hand is there with such might but you do not see Me. This is your suffering to be dry for the love I give you. You will know My love in time, but you must wait for Me. Little one, you will feel My love very strong very soon, keep coming to Me and sitting here and waiting. I am your God and I love you. Little one, have faith, trust in Me, pray hard to Me, busy yourself only with My prayers, leave other things go, you need to be alone and spend time with Me. You feel empty – this is your suffering. You must have faith now, I will reveal Myself to you later. Do not worry, I am not gone, just not as you felt Me before. I won’t leave you My little one, only be a little harder to touch for a little while. You are My light in dark. You may not feel that presence as you once have. Pray very hard to Me and offer it up for My intentions. You will see little one, this is your cross, this is a test. Stay close to Me, I am your precious Jesus. I am close in suffering.
September 23, 1993
Jesus: I am the way, the truth, the life. I am your Jesus, little one. I long to be with you and give you Myself. Turn all your burdens over to Me little one, you know I watch you and your children. I am the tenderest of all hearts, I am Jesus, your true love, your beautiful Savior. I wait for you to come every day to be with Me in church. I want you with Me. Please come every day and be alone with Me. Many shut Me from their lives, My little ones, they think they do not need Me and I love them so, I have so much to give to My little babies. Oh come to Me with your burdens, come with your bowed down hearts, I fill your soul with My love and you are not empty. Oh you are given My grace, little ones. You are chosen, you are blessed, you are My beloved little ones, do you ever doubt My love, it is so encompassing, it overflows in your heart, feel Me being so close to you, you want for nothing for I am at your side. I am nursing your wounds, I am quieting your fears, I am filling you with My life in you.
The devil is division, anxiety, fear, emptiness. I am union, peace, fullness. I am your God, your beloved Jesus, come to earth that you might have life eternal some day, and the gifts I give are My Body and My Blood. I died a brutal death for you. I showed you how to live. Come to Me. I make you holy. I fill you with My life in you. I showered My blessings on you and you knew only I could do that for you, I made a path of daisies to set you on your way and you skipped along with a troubled free heart because I took your burdens and made them light. I am your Divine lover, I am there ever attentive to your needs, you go not alone little one. I am there, mending your little scratches, I am kissing your wounds and giving you marvelous scent for your way. I am the Divine dresser, I watch after My flock, I love you and I wait and wait to share, give you My grace. Come little ones – I am food indeed, I give you what you need when you ask and you are Mine, says the Lord, Mine, My love. Oh precious little one, let Me love you, be alone with Me, let My tender Heart, fill you with My love and you will know only God could love you this way. I love you. Amen. Alleluia!
September 24, 1993
Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life, I am using you to do My work, do not let satan try to stop you. You are My spark to My beautiful children, I am here with you and I love you. Take heart child, I am working in you, you are so blind, you let satan whisper in your ear, you are doing what I am leading you to do. Know that I am with you, you know not these things, your mouth opens and you are filled, I want you to do this work. This work is My job for you, listen to these tapes, always, reread your letters or tape them all. Listen, stay fixed in Me, you should not doubt, your life is unfolding, it is unfolding and I am using you. You will help many and draw them close to Me, think of yourself as My instrument or tool, do not listen to anything satan says to stop you. You are a threat to him, but I am by your side at every moment. I really want you, now, keep spreading the light talk among your friends, they need to know My love. You are spreading My spark in their lives. Time is short, you are witnesses for Me, teachers of love in this dark, dark world. Spread these letters. Everyday your life unfolds and you are called to be there as it unfolds. Tell your children to pray, their job is as it is now, they are shedding light in the darkness, they are giving comfort to the bowed down, they don’t even know who they touch. I am by their side, tell them to be with Me. They are a joy to many. They should be examples to other children. My children are precious to Me.
I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. I am He who warms a cold heart, I am He who never slumbers or sleeps, I am your all.
Time is so short, pass out My love letters to all. I operate as you do. Carry this message. You are rooted in Me little one, My message is truth. I will be with you always, in good times and bad, have no fear for I care for you. Did I not in Medjugorjie – yes, child, I love you so much, trust in Me and move full steam ahead. I am using you; you must preach My words here. This is a message of love, they will not refuse My love, they are starved, they are dying inside. You must see their sick souls, be the doctor to a sick soul. They hurt so bad, would you not help a friend who is sick. In a minute you would. Many of My children are very sick, they need this love. My beautiful children, feed the hungry. I call you now. Feed the hungry, give love to the bowed down, it is Me that works in you, don’t doubt how much you are needed to do this, child. I will take care of you. I love you, I am Jesus your God.
I love you.
September 25, 1993
R. Dear Jesus,
Jesus: My dear little one, I love you so. I am very pleased when you come and spend time with Me, just being with Me, turn your life into a prayer. Whenever any doubt arises turn your thoughts to My passion, pray the Divine Mercy, pray the rosary and think of the Sorrowful Mysteries, meditate on My passion. Don’t listen to satan. You are doing My work and you know it, satan wants you to stop. Every day is a lot of time, give each day to Me to do with as I want.
R. I am Your vessel Jesus, I am empty and You can use me in Your work. Fill me with Your grace.
Jesus: Offer every day to Me, spend time being alone with Me in the morning so you make this your first intention. I will use you, now, and time is so short. It will unfold and I have promised, My little rose, each petal will fall off at the proper time and in the right place. Come to Me every day and spend lots of time with Me. Be alone with Me. Just be. Be with Me and I with you, as your best friend. You don’t read to each other or recite poems, you just are together, sometimes saying nothing, just being with each other, at My house. Be by My tabernacle, let Me fill you, people in love, who want to be together. I wait for you, My love and I want to spend time alone with you in My house. Come and be with Me. I am with you always, everywhere you go, but I am truly present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the tabernacle. I am by your side, in your heart, but you can know My presence there. Come and be with Me, spend time, I love it so when you just sit with Me. I am the peacemaker. I fill you with peace and joy, all works when you come to Me first, I fill you with everything you need. I love you so little one, I am here now with you.
September 27, 1993
Jesus: My little one, when you hurt you do not come, satan is doing a number on you. I am not going to take your gift away. I have given you this gift, you have not seen Me and you believe. I am truly present and ready to be with you, I want you to come to Me every day – Do not miss. This is your mission from Me. I will make the details work out; do as you are doing. This is Our time, this is Our place, this is what you must do. I fill you little one, open up your heart, the world is cold and they need you to do your work. You must come to Me to be filled, leave your children to Me, pray to the Holy Spirit to guide you, pray to cast out the devil. He wants to distract you, you will not fall into his clenches, but you must stay fixed to Me like glue. I am your top priority, your time with Me, alone, at Mass is first, all else can take its place After that. I am the Alpha, the Omega, I created every blade of grass on this earth and I watch it, look at you and how I call you to this vocation, I know your suffering. I love you child, pick up your cross and walk My passion with Me. This leads to My tender Heart, it brings you to My open arms and I am waiting to embrace you and fill you. I know the workings of your heart, little one, I know every thought and I understand your pain. I love you so much, you are not alone, I am closest to you now. All will work out with your children, I will make the right thing unfold. It is always hardest before a change, the anxiety of a new thing, the fear, put fear aside, go full steam ahead, I will make the right doors open for you. I have work for you and your children, no fuming, no fretting now, put all burdens at My feet and I will make your load light. I Love You dear heart, I love you little child, you know how you worry and care for your children, I do for you much more.
September 28, 1993
Jesus: My sweet one, do not fret or fume. Look at the birds of the air, you are so much more valuable. I am by your side always. I will make all things work for you, you will not be penniless, I will provide for you. I know what is going on, surrender to Me, your beautiful Savior, I will carry your burden and make your way light. I light your path, you are My precious little child, I will protect you, no anxiety in your life, I am in charge. Turn your burdens over to Me and I will make you whole, do not fume or fret, I go with you little one, trust in Me, I am He who loves you. I am your security, I will make the crooked ways straight, I will bend you and you will not break, I am your bow, I am He who knows all. You mustn’t fume or fret. Breathe in Jesus, out anxiety. I am your boss, I am at the helm of your life, don’t cause yourself trouble. Do Not enter into Conflict with those wishing to trap you. That is satan working in them to get to you. You are My precious little child; I am watching out for you. Read this letter, write, be with Me, pray with your children, be there for your children. Yeah I make the crooked ways straight and he who put their whole trust in Me had life in abundance and joy in their hearts. I am your Jesus, Son of the Living God, I dwell in you that others might know Me and I am with you My precious child, you are My instruments to reach many, do you ever think I would abandon you – You are Precious – I love You forever, I am your Jesus.
September 29, 1993 Wednesday
R. Dear Jesus,
Jesus: Oh My child, just breathe in My peace, I am with you. Satan strives to make your life very shaky. You must not enter into these disputes staged by satan to get to you; satan wants to trip you up in a second. You try so hard, he is ever ready to use anything to get you down, and each little thing seems to get big in an instant because he is out to get you.
Trust in Me, see My face, feel My tender touch, I never leave your side, breathe in Me and out fear. Things are insignificant except as I give it importance. You are important, satan wants a fight – prove he is right. He uses others. I give you what you need. You come to Me and I make you whole, I bind up your wounds, I apply ointment for healing and you are set on solid ground. Your life is there waiting to be lived for Me. Pray to Me and stay focused on Me, My little child, I love you so much.
I am the way, the truth, the life, I am your way, I will fill your heart and you will know what comes from Me. My will is not a secret. Leave all to Me and go about My work, My work is to stay fixed in Me. To drop your problems off and then go about your life doing as I command. To love your brothers, to be there for one another, to smile, to do all that is good as I am, there is no meanness in Me. I am love. You must shed My light around to each other. I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. Your relationships matter. Your days are short. Love Me, love one another, that is the message, it is very simple. You are My precious children, I am guiding your life, you are not alone and I do not want you to worry, surrender. I am your God, I am in control. No one tells the sun to come up and go down, it does because I make it so. You little silly children, thinking you have control and your fuming and fretting will really make a difference.
Don’t think about anything, but Me. I tell you when the time is right and you know in your heart what I want. My way is the right way, pray to Me constantly, surrender to Me, let Me lead your path, there is no error. I know all there is to know, you must live in the moment the best you can and stay focused on Me. Totus, tuos, totally yours Lord. Give yourself, body, mind and spirit to God. Let Me engulf you and use you as I will. Joy will surround you, the loads are lifted, the trumpet sounds and you know you have true peace within. True peace comes from letting go. Oh silly, silly child, I watch you labor and fret and fume and deliberate all your ways in your head and you cause yourself such unrest. Surrender to Me, this is the way to peace, I make My ways known to you. I love you, I will not let you stumble and fall.
Pray to the Holy Spirit, He is the giver of great gifts, gifts you need to know what God wants of you. Pray every day to Him. Tell Him you love Him. He is a Person who loves you, He is ready with love. My ways are secure in your heart. Security, you have no worries. God is at the helm, you trust in Me and know that what befalls you is being guarded by Me. You stay fixed in Me, My love, doing My work, I need you to be Me to the troubled world. I carry your burdens and make your load light, rest in Me always. Oh little one, if I could let you feel My love in its true proportion you would know you have nothing to fear. My love is so beautiful, you are so loved, you in your earthly minds and hearts cannot comprehend, none the less, it is there. You are so loved child; you have nothing to fear. Surrender to Me, to the God who loves you, little babies, I give you what you need, I give you My peace, My love. You are so silly. Satan uses others, your work, your kids, everything to get you to stray from Me.
You need Me First little children, you are like little children, you must be told so many times the same thing and you don’t hear Me yet. Come to Me. Come to Me first littles ones. I will fill you and you will go in peace. I have so much to give you, oh little one, how do I tell you, you must listen to My words and believe Me. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the one true God, I speak to you and you do not listen, listen to Me and have peace. I need you to do My work, you are letting satan distract you, so you do not come to Me as you should and you do not do My work in your actions because you are bowed down. Witness My presence within you. Nothing else matters child, I love you so.
September 30, 1993 Friday
Jesus: Come and stay fixed in Me. I make the crooked ways straight; I give My strength to the bowed down. I miss Our time alone, every day. I want you to be alone with Me. My ways are the right way, when you stay fixed in Me it works out. You must trust in Me and I will make your heart at rest. I am He who knows all things, don’t be uptight over writing this, relax and write what I say. I am talking to you in your heart, listen, very still, very close, I am with you in a crowd, I am with you everywhere you go. I am attentive to your needs and sitting with you at this very moment. I know you are tired, you will be okay, give all your cares up to Me, I carry your load. I love you so. I am happy to be with you, My little child, don’t think about anything, but Me. In the silence I come to you, in a crowd, we are alone, you must stay focused on Me. See My face, see Me smiling at you and loving you. Let the world go by, relax and be present to Me. I love you so child, you must know this. In the silence comes His word to the poor and the lowly ones in pain. Soak in My presence and enjoy these special moments with Me, I am very present to you, I love you with all My Heart. Be alone with Me, you can be alone with Me wherever you are.
November 15, 1993 Monday
Jesus: When I call, you come right away, don’t promote yourself! Show My love as I work in you. I am pleased you won’t tutor them. This is a big job, not for you. I need your undivided attention. Let Me fill you and work in you. You are to be doing other things. Being with Me. You are so excited about Me. This is so good. Let your day fall open. Take the children to church. Be focused on Me. You must spend time with your family.
Come and be with Me. I will fill you. Just calm down and focus. I am important. Do not get overjoyed or depressed. Stay fixed on Me. Breathe in My peace and joy. I will take care of your problems. Don’t focus on them.
I love you.

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. $10 |
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. $10 |
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. $10 |
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. $10 |
