Novena to St. Joseph, Patron and Father

Dear Saint Joseph,

I turn to you, you who cared and
protected the child Jesus and the
Virgin Mary.
You taught men and women, the
love of God by your example in life,
and by your faithfulness of living
your calling in greatest commitment
and love.

You loved Mary and Jesus with the
most gentle, bonds of love.

You showed us how you
lived in loving conformity to the
Heavenly Father's will.

You guided Jesus and Mary's precious
lives with the Holy Spirit, Spouse of
the Virgin Mother of God.

Protect us and our family this day and
every day of our lives, like
you did the Holy Family of Nazareth.
We seek your powerful intercession.

How intimately you knew and loved
Jesus and Mary. You were so close to
them. You showed us love.

Your heart was pure and gentle and
yet you were strong in being their
manly protector on earth, intercede
for us to depend more and more on
God for all our needs, for when we
are weak we are strong in God.

St. Joseph please intercede for a
peaceful and holy death for us and
our sick loved ones.
Amen.

St. Joseph help us now in this nine
day novena to you.
Amen.

  

May 14, 2024

R. Dear Holy Spirit come to me, possess
my soul, I love You, Holy Spirit.
When I am weak, I am strong in You.
Outpour Your precious love to me. Amen.
I love You, God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Dear Holy Spirit infuse in my intellect
wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Counsel me Holy Spirit from the mind of
God.

Help me, dear Holy Spirit to know the loving
embrace of God all the days of my life.
I turn to You. Amen.

When I find doing God's desire for my life
difficult give me the gift of fortitude, dear
Holy Spirit.
Sanctify my heart to act purely for the
honor and glory of God.
I may be willing, but I need Your gift to
give me courage to act as You desire.
Help me to know and love the heavenly
Father's will for me and to do it in love
for the honor and glory of God.

Help me to always put God first in my life,
in love for God in my heart.
Help me to walk realizing, I am the creature,
God is the Creator.

Help me to be patient and strong and
persevere in my life until I rest with Thee
forever in heaven.

Please Holy Spirit give me the gift of fear
of God that I do not offend you in sins
of unloving ways against God.
You are so good and deserving of all my
love.
I worship You and love You -
Help my interior disposition at Mass to be
that of purity in pleasing the Heavenly
Father, in my offering united to Jesus in
the Mass.
Dear Holy Spirit please help me in the gift
of piety to do that which pleases my Heavenly
Father with the tenderness as His little child.
Thank you God for all You give to me.
I pray this "All for the honor and Glory of
God". Amen.
 

Matthew 22: 36-40

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


Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.

Alleluia.

Prayer for Sick and Caregivers at Home

R. Dear God,
I pray Heavenly Father with all my heart,
in the Name of Jesus, united to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit,
with all the angels and saints and souls
in purgatory, through the powerful
intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater
to come to my aid now.

My loved one is very sick and he (she)
needs your help, God.
Outpour Your grace for me in this time
of need to have patience and wisdom to
deal with this now.

I give this sickness up to You, my God.
Please help me in dealing with this and
helping them in doing the right thing
and dealing with this.

I surrender this problem to You, my
Divine God.

Please send Your angels to help me.
Spread us all with the Precious Blood of
Jesus, cast the devil into the fires of hell,
dear Holy Spirit come to my aid.

I consecrate my home, ourselves to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, Thank You.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my
trust in Thee.
Child Jesus of Good Health, help us.
St. Joseph, Patron of a Holy Death
come to our aid.
Amen.

 

July 29, 2024

R. Dear Mary,
My Mother, I love you so much.
Please take care of my needs in my family.
Ask your precious Son Jesus to help me
and my family.
You are the Mother of Jesus. You cared
so lovingly for Him in your life on earth.
You are His most perfect disciple.
Oh Mary, I love you so much, you are my
spiritual Mother.

There are many of my friends I ask you
to pray for, too.
I know your powerful intercession from
the wedding of Cana.
You stood beneath the cross on Calvary,
after you endured the bitter treatment of
your precious Son Jesus.
Oh Mary, you know so well the trials and
pains of life. Help me now, I turn to your
powerful intercession.

You stand by the altar at Mass and intercede
for Grace for us all day long, please never
abandon me, your little child.

Oh Mary I love you so, so much.

Oh Mary you are the Queen of Peace, please
help us in peace in the world, the Churchs,
the family, the work place for all your little
children of the world.
We need your help for peace now, hear our
pleas as we turn to your powerful intercession.

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day as He foretold.

2. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

3. From Fr. Carter’s last homily in Clearwater when he was sick July 5, 2000:

“The symbol of Jesus‘ Sacred Heart then, it’s not only a symbol of His love, and all it's aspects, but in reminding us that He is giving us Himself to His complete self-giving.”

4.It is also a symbol, which calls for our return of love, our complete giving of self in love.”

5. “And it is especially in the Eucharist and the blood flowing from Jesus’ side, as mentioned in today’s gospel, as a symbol of the Eucharist; it is especially in the Eucharist that we receive the life, the strength of surrender in total consecration to Jesus through the heart of Mary each day of our lives.”

6. “And so let us not waste any of the graces in the Eucharist, which cost Jesus so very, very, very much.”

7. “Each day as we receive Him in the Eucharist, let us ask Him for the strength for that day in particular, for all our days, taking one day at a time and strength to give ourselves to Him as consecrated, surrendering in love, not only for our own spiritual life but spiritual benefits for the whole world.”

8. "Talking about Jesus on the cross, St. Ignatius of Loyola in his great work, the Spiritual Exercises, he would have the retreatant kneel before the crucifix and realizing all that Jesus had done for him, for her, for all, Ignatius asks us to kneel before a crucifix, in reality or one before our mind's eye, he asks us to ask ourselves these 3 questions. What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What ought I to do for Christ?"

9. From Fr. Carter’s homilies July 28, 2000

"Today's Gospel tells us about the piercing of Jesus' side with a lance, and that from that pierced side Blood and water flowed out."

10. "So from the pierced side and Heart of Jesus, the sacramental life of the Church is born upon Calvary: water symbolizing that fundamental sacrament of the Church – Baptism – and of course blood symbolizing the heart of the Church's sacramental system, the Eucharist. Jesus, in the great love of His Heart, found a miraculous way to remain with us in such an intimate way through the Eucharist."

 

The Ascension

1. Acts 1: 6-9

Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.

2. From July 28, 2000 Homily

Pope John Paul II said "Dear brothers:..." addressing himself to priests, "Dear brothers: ...you who have put your hand to the plough and do not turn back, and perhaps even more those of you who are doubtful of the meaning of your vocation or of the value of your service: think of the places where people anxiously await a priest, and where for many years, feeling the lack of such a priest, they do not cease to hope for his presence. And sometimes it happens that they meet in an abandoned shrine, and place on the altar a stole which they still keep, and recite all the prayers of the Eucharistic Liturgy; and then, at the moment that corresponds to the transubstantiation a deep silence comes down upon them, a silence sometimes broken by a sob... so ardently do they desire to hear the words that only the lips of a priest can efficaciously utter... So deeply do they feel the absence of a priest among them! [and correspondingly of course the lack of the Eucharist amongst them]... Such places are not lacking in the world. So if one of you doubts the meaning of his Priesthood, if he thinks it is ‘socially’ fruitless or useless, reflect on this!"6

6. Pope John Paul II, Holy Thursday Letters to My Brother Priests, edited by James P. Socias, Scepter Publications and Midwestern Theological Forum, pp. 38-40. Brackets as noted by Father Carter.

3. Jesus in His life was always turning back to His Father.
4. The Father has a place for us.
5. Jesus ascended into heaven.
6. Mary was assumed into heaven.
7. Our true home is in heaven.
8. Jesus remains with us today in the Eucharist.
9. We eat His body and drink His blood.
10. Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity.

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary

1. Acts 2: 1-4

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. 

2. John 1:15-16

...He proclaims: 'This is the one of whom I said: He who comes after me has passed ahead of me because he existed before me.' Indeed, from his fullness we have, all of us, received -- one gift replacing another,

3. God has chosen us for a very, very, very, special task.
4. Do we have the enthusiasm, we should have to serve God?
5. How would we treat a job here below?
6. Is not the job that Jesus has given to us to be witnesses in the world more important?
7. Look at the lives of the Saints, how they served God.
8. Look how Jesus served His Father?
9. Jesus chose us for a very, very, special mission.
10. Fr. Carter says: “Of course it is the Eucharist, which gives us the chief source of grace to fulfill the choice, Jesus has made of each of us, to such a high degree. The Saints
– they depended upon that same Eucharist and they so admirably fulfilled the mission attached to Jesus‘ choice of them, because they used those graces of the Eucharist in such eminent fashion.”

 

The Assumption

1. Mary was taken body and soul into heaven.
2. Mary was conceived without sin.

3. August 12, 2000 Homily

 St. Bernard, Doctor of the Church, which means he is not only outstanding for his holiness but for his spiritual wisdom, gives us some very, very tender and moving words concerning Mary in our life. He says, "If you will not be submerged by tempests, do not turn away your eyes from the splendor of this star. If the storms of temptation arise, if you crash against the rocks of tribulation, look to the star [that star, of course, is Mary], call upon Mary. If you are tossed about on the waves of pride, of ambition, of slander, of hostility, look to the star, call upon Mary. If wrath or avarice or the enticements of the flesh upset the boat of your mind, look to Mary. If you are disturbed by the immensity of your crimes...If you begin to be swallowed up by the abyss of depression and despair, think of Mary! In danger, in anxieties, in doubt, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let her name not leave your lips, nor your heart, and that you may receive the help of her prayer, do not cease to follow the example of her conduct...If she holds you, you will not fall, if she protects you, you need not fear."7
7. St. Bernard, as in Hilda Graef, Mary: A History of Doctrine and Devotion, Christian Classics, Vol. I, p. 237.

4. August 12, 2000 Homily

That same pattern repeats itself in a different order now of course, but the pattern repeats itself in the sense that God the Father still gives us Jesus through Mary, as she cooperates with the divine action of the Holy Spirit. And so these two: the Holy Spirit in using the cooperation of Mary, His spouse, are always forming Jesus within us in a deeper fashion. What a great gift, of Mary to us as our spiritual Mother. We can never thank our Lord enough for this.

5. August 12, 2000 Homily

In other words, she loves us much, much, much, much more than the most loving mother in the natural order of motherhood loves her children. And what a consoling thought this is. We always have to remember that God chose Mary as the human person instrument through which to give us Jesus, and her Fiat, in her saying yes at the scene of the Annunciation, she pledged that she would cooperate with the Holy Spirit in bringing Jesus into this world.

6. September 8, 2000

HOMILY – We notice that the Church in Her liturgy for the celebration of the birthday, the Birth of Mary, immediately puts her with Jesus: "She will give birth to a son and you must name him Jesus, because he is the one who is to save his people from their sins." (Mt 1:21) – words from today's Gospel.

7. September 8, 2000 continues
    And so the Church reminds us that Mary was born for the sake of Jesus. Again, in celebrating her birth, the Church links her very, very directly with Jesus. Yes, this is the reason for her birth: to be Mother of Jesus, and in doing that, everything else about her takes its proper place.

 8. September 8, 2000 continues

And just as Mary was dedicated entirely to Jesus and to His cause, we in giving her a birthday present of the highest value can only promise her, "Mary, as you were completely dedicated to Jesus, help me be completely dedicated to Him. You were His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ."

9. Kid's Consecration to Mary

10. Kid's Consecration to Jesus

 

The Queenship of Mary

1. Revelation 12: 1-2

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

2. Sing: Immaculate Mary

3. Sing: Hail Holy Queen

4. Sing: Our Lady of Clearwater

5. Sing: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

6. Red Rosary Book April 16, 1995

Locution Received After Recitation of the Seven Sorrows

Jesus: I stand at the door of the hearts of mankind and knock. Many close their hearts and walk away. My beloved ones, pray for the souls of your brothers that they will open their hearts and let Me enter. Your prayers are so important for the salvation of many souls. Pray, My beloved ones! Pray as you have never prayed before. Unite ever more closely to My Most Sacred Heart. Pray always in union with Me and My Mother, the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory. Pray to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Spirit. Your prayers are so valuable to many souls. Do not underestimate the power of prayer. I call out to you this day to go as soldiers into this world.

- During Easter Sunday (April 16, 1995) Rosary Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, Norwood, Ohio

7. April 16, 1995

Jesus: Feed the hungry! My love is enough! People do not realize the immensity of My love. They scratch only the surface and I have such deep love to give. If you focus always on My love, you will be fed. You will know struggles and trials, but in all of these struggles, you will be brought to deeper life with Me. As you experience thorns, I give to you a bed of roses. I am Jesus, My beloved ones, and I have spoken directly to you of those things that I hold in My Heart and wish to share with you. Open up your hearts and your souls and ponder the words that I have spoken here. I truly long to be closely united to you, My precious chosen ones. Pray, pray, pray! Men have turned their backs. They have walked away and in their willfulness, they have forgotten God. I come to bring you new life that you might have it to the full.

Song: I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall not hunger and who believes in Me shall not thirst. No one can come to Me unless the Father beckons. And I will raise you up. And I will raise you up. And I will raise you up on the last day.

8. Jesus: Pray for My beloved priests and for the Church, My dear ones. Pray for the courage to go out into this world and be a witness of the love of God that you have within your hearts. It is fear that stops you from spreading this message. You, too, will be joined with Me forever and ever in heaven. I ask you to go out into the world and tell all you meet of My great love for them.

9. Jesus: Consecrate your lives to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary and pray fervently for your priests, for I live this day in the Church. Pray for the priests and the Church. I love you, My beloved ones, and I love My Church.

10. Sing: In My Heart

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012)
$ 10.00

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 - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
