Consecration Prayer for Peace
I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.
I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able, to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
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.

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
October 13, 1917
On October 13, 1917, there were more than 70,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come to observe a miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three young visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. (1) Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three visionaries:
As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet—the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.
After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time—three times in all—within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.
When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions. (2)
NOTE:

SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
JANUARY 25, 1996
The Agony in the Garden
- We do not know how much Jesus loves us. We know a little about love, but He is love. The more we pray to Him, the more He will teach us about His love for us.
- Think of Jesus in the garden, alone in the garden. His Apostles slept and Jesus knew all of the events about to happen, all of His suffering, and His final death on the cross.
- We do not fully comprehend how much Jesus loves us. If we meditate on these Sorrowful Mysteries, we will know that He loved us so much that He died for us.
- Jesus wants us to come to His Heart and to know His love.
- His greatest pain was the pain He suffered to His Heart. He loves each and every soul so much. He is treated with such neglect by many of those He loves.
- We are human. He is divine. We do not understand the mind of God. He reveals Himself to us. We then understand more fully the mystery of God's love.
- He knelt in the garden. He asked the Apostles to be with Him in this final hour before they took Him away to be scourged and put to death.
- The angel appeared and showed Him the cup. He drank of the cup. He gave His life that we would share in His life and be with Him forever in heaven.
- He could have said "no". He is the Almighty God. He loves us so much. He gave Himself.
- Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to help us to know more the fire of God's love.
A special meditation before the Glory Be:
We were created with a soul. The only thing that feeds the soul is His love.
The Scourging at the Pillar
- Heart of Jesus so wounded by the sins of men, enlighten us so that we may see our sins and be sorry for them.
- Many times we excuse ourselves when we have been wrong. Every time that we do not tell Jesus that we are sorry, we go further and further from Him.
- He knows that we are weak and that we sin. He asks us to come to Him with a heart that is sorry. He will forgive us for our sins.
- Jesus was tied to the pillar and beaten by angry men that were full of hatred in their hearts.
- We think, "The men who beat Jesus must have had hard hearts!"
- Jesus wants us to have a heart of love. The devil gets into our hearts with little sins. Little sins, he tempts us to commit and we know are wrong. If we sin, many times we do not ask Jesus to forgive us.
- The world tells us that many times love is only receiving. Jesus comes with a kind and generous Heart and teaches us the true meaning of love.
- We see Jesus tied to the pillar, beaten raw from the hatred in the hearts of men. We see that Jesus gave Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of men.
- He teaches us that love is giving. The world, many times, tells us that we should fill ourselves with pleasures to make us happy. Jesus tells us that to be happy we must love. We must give love to others.
- Hail Mary...
Jesus Is Crowned with Thorns
- The devil wants us to walk in darkness. He wants us to think bad thoughts of others.
- The head of Jesus was crowned with thorns for the sins of men. Think of the mental anguish that Jesus suffered. He knew that many souls would go to hell even though He suffered for them.
- Many souls would refuse the grace that He gives to them and continue their sinful lives.
- The greatest gift that we receive is the gift of God's love. It is this love that fills the hungry heart.
- Hearts are so hungry. They look for all kinds of things to satisfy them.
- How many times have we wanted something and when we receive it, we are left empty inside and look for something else?
- Only the love of Jesus fills the starved heart.
- Jesus shows us how much He loved us by suffering the crowning to His most precious head. He is the King of all kings. They crowned Him with a crown of sharp piercing thorns.
- His Heart is surrounded by thorns for the indifference of men this day.
- When men are focused on self, when they are thinking only of themselves, they are not giving as He wants us to give. He is calling us to love God and love each other.
Jesus Carries His Cross
- Jesus shows us how He carried His cross. He wants us to carry our crosses this day with joy.
- It is hard for the youth to talk about Jesus. Many times we are laughed at by our peers. We must pray to the Holy Spirit. He will guide what we say.
- God is one God in three Divine Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When we are baptized and in the state of grace, They live within us in a special way.
- Many times we feel alone, but we are never alone. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are with us in a special way if we are in the state of grace.
- Mary loves her precious little children! She wants her children to know the love of her Son, Jesus.
- Mary looked into the eyes of her beloved Son on the way to Calvary. She saw His head crowned with thorns and His eyes covered with blood.
- Jesus wants us to think about the walk on the way to Calvary. By thinking about this walk, we will realize that He gave Himself because He loves us.
- He is a personal God. He is alive this day. He wants to live in our hearts. Let us pray that we receive grace to let Him into our hearts.
- Jesus carried the cross with joy. He wants us to carry our crosses with joy. The world tells us that we should fill ourselves with pleasures. Jesus tells us that we should fill our hearts with His love.
- All through the day, let us walk with Jesus and Mary. We are never alone. They are with us in all of our trials and all of our joys.
A special meditation before the Glory Be:
Many times we fall, but Jesus forgives us and our sins and asks us to come to Him and tell Him that we love Him. We should tell Him we are sorry for offending Him with our sinful ways.
The Crucifixion of Our Lord on the Cross
- See Jesus as He hangs on the cross, His hands and feet pounded with the nails.
- We go our willful ways. We think that we are right. We think we should justify ourselves. Jesus, the Son of God, hangs on the cross with the most loving, kind, and humble Heart.
- He calls us to offer ourselves to the Father in union with the sacrifice of Himself on the cross.
- What pleases God the most is the gift of His Son, sacrificed for love of us.
- We do not know the sufferings of Jesus. We do not know the sufferings of our brothers. Our brothers do not know how we suffer. Let us ask Jesus to help us to have a kind and generous heart, a heart that is like His, that we may see how to love more and more like Him.
- The world tells us that we should not have problems. Jesus shows us His body as He hung on the cross. Our true peace is in doing what the Father asks us to do.
- Song: I Love You Jesus
- The Mass is special-we give ourselves in greatest love to Jesus.
- Jesus gives Himself to us. Look how He is treated in the Holy Eucharist. He comes to us, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This is the time when we can unite with Jesus.
- Let us vow everyday to ask God to help us grow more deeply in our life and our love with Him.

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 |
