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.

Love of others.
Love of enemies.
Love of friends.Love of family.
Love of community.
Love of kids.
Love of brothers and sisters.
Love of parents.Love of God.
Love of priests.Love of angels and saints.

God wants obedience and peace.
Satan wants division and turmoil, Satan seeks dominance for dominance sake.The devil is hate.
When Jesus was baptized by John, the Baptist, the voice of the Father was heard: “This is My beloved
Son in whom I am well pleased.”We are to love and obey our Father’s will.
Jesus showed us how He obeyed His Father’s will to His death on the cross.
December 24, 2021
R. Christmas is about memories.
Jesus chose us His bride.
He took flesh and came to earth, so we could be His bride forever.
We were made for this union with God.
Life eternal is our destiny in heaven.
He is the vine, we are the branches, life is in Him.
Jesus is the light of the world.
Jesus is our Savior, He died for our sins.
December 25, 2021
R. God is love!!
God is peace and joy!
The peace He brings is,
God so loved the world He sent His only begotten Son born a baby in a stable.He taught us His way of truth.
He taught us how to follow Him and love.
To those who obey Him and love He promises eternal happiness in heaven.This is His message on Christmas.
He was born a baby in a stable, so we could live.
Song: A Song from Jesus
Song: Give me your heart Oh Jesus
R. Real peace
Satan is always stirring the pot,
Causing confusion, hate,
Chaos.
He never rests or backs off.God gave us Mary His Mother, she crushes the head of Satan.
She appears in Clearwater to the world.Jesus tells us consecrate our hearts to His Sacred Heart and Mary’s Immaculate Heart.
Mary’s message of Fatima
CONVERSION.Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.
Amen.Peace on earth
Good will to men.
December 26, 2021
R. At the beginning of Mass, we ask for forgiveness of our sins so we can offer a more pure sacrifice, united to Jesus to the Father.
We give Glory and honor to God sometimes in Glorious song to Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
God tells us to honor our parents. He tells us to care in love for them.
Love recognizes just authority.
Love is in order, God is above, just authority over us to be respected and obeyed, this is order.Those in authority are under God and will answer to God for doing their duty in justice and love, fitting to their position.
Today's second reading.
Colossians 3: 12-21
As the chosen of God, then, the holy people whom he loves, you are to be clothed in heartfelt compassion, in generosity and humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another; forgive each other if one of you has a complaint against another. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same. Over all these clothes, put on love, the perfect bond. And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful.
Let the Word of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God; and whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him.
R. The Mass sings the joy of the heart to be able to be united in holy sacrifice to God.
Alleluia
Pray:
God open our hearts,
We are willing to have You open our hearts, give us the grace we need most.In the Gospel today God shows us how Jesus was at age 12.
Jesus’ wisdom with the doctors. Jesus, it says was obedient to Them (Mary and Joseph) and Mary kept this in her heart.The family is how Jesus lived. Jesus had suffering.
He lived the quiet life from age 12 to 30.Mary shows us obedience to God, always.
Mary, Jesus and Joseph lived to please God.
Service to God.
We are down on earth to serve God.God the Father gives us our every breath to live. Why would we separate ourselves from God by sin?
Mary and Jesus and Joseph's life had suffering!!
We learn in the family how to live. Co-operating with each other. We are to learn how to grow in our relationships with significant others in our lives, in Divine JusticeSong: I Am a God of Justice
R. Jesus was mistreated by others, but He was still obedient to the plan of God the Father.
Jesus is love.
Obedience is rooted in love of God.Order! God must be first.
We are called to give to others to help them grow.Peace on earth, Good will to Men. The angels sang above the crib of Jesus.
We live the Father’s will in love,
our strength is in this.We can live obedient to God in love,
or use our life to serve Satan,
walking before God in rebellion, with Gaul.We are here to serve God, and not the other way around.
December 26, 2021
R. How do you do things?
Doing it for others, wanting to serve, to help others.
This is like Jesus.
The devil wants people to do things for themselves, for their honor and glory.
The people like Jesus put their focus on others.
The people focused on themselves may never even see others, it’s all focused on their will, their glory.
Song: Give me your Heart, oh Jesus
R. The type that gives to others, surrenders to the job at hand to complete it.
They easily embrace it.The ones self-centered always focus on themselves, rigid to not give too much. Their focus can be in holding back.
You are a light to the world Jerry!!
Thanks for all you do in giving to the Lord!!!
Thank you for all the books you mail and prayers you pray for everything.
Merry Christmas.
We are all children of the Father's family and God wants us to inherit our forever from our Father in heaven.
Thank You God for Your gift of love and life.

The Marriage at Cana
1. We are elevated in our knowing and loving capacity from baptism.
2. It is in giving we receive.
3. John 2: 1-10
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’
4. God feeds us with Himself in the Eucharist.
5. In baptism we receive the supernatural virtues of Faith, Hope and Love.

The Transfiguration
1. Matthew 17: 1-9
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I will make three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, ‘Stand up, do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus.
As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order, ‘Tell no one about this vision until the Son of man has risen from the dead.’
2. Jesus took Peter, James and John up Mt. Tabor.
3. There Jesus was transfigured before them.
4. He was white with the brightest light.

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.
The Institution of the Eucharist
1. Luke 22: 14-20
When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’
Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.
2. Song: I Love You Jesus
3 Song: A Song from Jesus
4. 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
5. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist.
6. Jesus is present body, blood, soul, and Divinity,
in the Eucharist.7. From Mass Book - December 18, 1995
IN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF HIS HEART
The place Jesus took me was into the deepest recesses of His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat and an intense glow. I was swept away in this embrace, and I only existed in Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me, and I only existed in Him. There was no fear, for I was existent in this Almighty Being. My heart was wrapped in the eternal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power I know was His deep presence in which I existed.
I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His immenseness, but I felt my own completeness in Him. I did not feel little, as a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed then in Him in a most special way.
8. From Mass Book - December 18, 1995 continues
I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father, and I existed IN Him and in the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus. Our heaven on earth is these inner chambers of His magnificent Heart - the Heart of the Almighty God, with all the power, with omnipotence, with the fire of the love of God. He took me to the deepest chamber of this fiery Heart, and in that moment, I touched eternity, for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love.
We do not understand the fire of His love. We do not understand what it is to be absorbed by love itself. He took me to the inner, deepest chamber of His Heart, and I felt the heat and knew the presence of love itself, and there was no fear, only a feeling of completeness, omnipotence, all-embracing, penetrating love - a power indescribable in words, a saturation of my being in the presence of God, and I was as I was created to be - living in Him!
9. From Mass Book - December 18, 1995 continues
This is how I will forever live my life, saturated with His divine life and love deep within this inner chamber of His burning Heart, living in Him as He possesses my being, and I operate with His power in me.
Little creatures though we are, we are His, His power, His life, flowing through us. In Him, we are as the Father intended: one in Him, each one of us, dwelling in this fiery furnace of His love. With our fears quieted and our hearts empowered by His life, we live forever in Him - in the Heart of Jesus.
10. From Mass Book - December 18, 1995 continues
Let no man separate what God has joined together. I am wed in the deepest love with my beloved Spouse, wed to the Heart of Jesus. As I am, I am one in Him. I live and I breathe in Him. He, Who is love, He Who is our all, He Who is mighty and without limits, He Who is, He Who is God and as I live, He lives in me in this world.
I am wed to Him, and I shall not fear for He is God - one, complete, loving, God. Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee. As I live, I live in Your most adorable Heart, the furnace of God's love!
December 26, 2021
R. It is raining. I love the rain, it reminds me of how God waters the earth and pours grace, His life in my soul when I pray and ask Him.
He loves us so much.
He gives us His letters of love in the Blue Books.
Jesus: I love you.
I love you.
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 |
