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.

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
1. God gives us a free will.
The first commandment tells us we are to put God first in our lives.
2. We have a free will to put God first or put ourselves first, before God. The deadly sins are pride, (control), jealousy, envy, anger, slothfulness, lust, and gluttony.
3. God created us to love Him and love others as ourselves. God created us to obey the will of the Heavenly Father.
4. God created us in love.
5. Jesus knew all the sins of all men in the Garden. All who would reject Him and sin and chose hate and holding out in punishment against their brother.
6. God told Cain the devil is lurking at your door, but you can be master over him.
Cain gave into the devil and he killed his brother because of jealousy in cold blood.
7. Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. They were gifted from God and they disobeyed and sinned against God.
8. Eve gave into the devil in the Garden.
9. Jesus is the New Adam and Mary, the New Eve.
10. Jesus paid a big price for our sins. Jesus said in the Garden, not My will be done, but Thine be done. Jesus in His Divine knowing knew all He would suffer and all the sins of men and Jesus sweat blood, doing the Father’s will.
Some people disobey God as a bad habit of willfulness, offending God constantly with their free will.
God wants us to chose to serve Him in love and obey Him, freely.
Freedom, obeying God’s will in love helps us grow in oneness with God.
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. Jesus was arrested and treated awful because of our sins. Jesus loves us so much. Jesus wants us to love Him and obey God.
2. There are two roads in the spiritual life. We can obey the will of God, like Jesus did or we can do our own will opposed to God.
3. Nobody can take our free will away. We cannot make another person obey the Laws of God.
4. What do you think happened to Cain, spiritually after he killed his brother?
5. These are the deadly sins pride, anger, jealousy, envy, slothfulness, lust and gluttony. They are called deadly sins because they make us feel deadened in our spirit.
6. The virtues are good habits: faith, hope, love, humility, obedience, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.
When we practice these good habits, we are filled with light and truth and blessings inside.
7. God gives us baptism which gives us a sharing in Divine life.
8. In baptism we receive the supernatural virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love.
9. God dwells in the graced baptized soul. Jesus was whipped horribly at the pillar, flesh torn, bleeding head to toe for our sins.
10. God is the Creator, we are the creatures. God is love. It is the Father's will we go to heaven. Only one thing is important, mortal sin we refuse to repent of can hurt us spiritually, eternally.
God is kind and merciful, He wants us to repent of our sins. Jesus paid for our sins.
The Crowning with Thorns
1. The men who crowned Jesus hated Him, they wanted to give Him a mock ceremony because Jesus said He was King of the Jews.
2. Jesus teaches us about surrender. Think of how Jesus surrendered and Jesus obeyed.
3. They spit on Jesus. They mocked Jesus. They crowned Him with a crown of thorns, they pounded in His Head.
4. Jesus surrendered to the will of God. Jesus surrendered and surrendered and surrendered. Jesus gave His all.
5. Jesus held nothing back.
Jesus surrendered to their blasphemies and their abuse.
6. Jesus is the Son of God.
7. How did Jesus endure such torture as they gave to Him?
8. Let us meditate on the men mocking Jesus for being King of the Jews.
They mocked Him, laughing at Jesus, why do men do this?
Why do men not love, but hurt others and want them to squirm, while they cruelly laugh at innocent others. Jesus was the innocent lamb led to the slaughter. Jesus is God.
9. Such ugliness in hard-hearted men.
Jesus is love. God created us in the image of Jesus.
10. Jesus teaches us about His love for us, Jesus teaches us about obedience to His Father's will, Jesus teaches us about surrender as they whipped Him, persecuted Him, bullied Him, made Him bleed and tore His flesh and laughed and mocked and spit on Jesus. Jesus was paying for their sins out of love and look how ugly they are to Jesus.
Satan hates God, Satan hates us, Satan tempts people to disrespect and abuse others and the people give into Satan.
Satan is the Father of lies. Satan wants souls eternally in hell.
The Carrying of the Cross
1. God shows His love and faithfulness to us, carrying the heavy cross with the sins of men.
2. Satan wants people to be selfish and cheat and lie and hate their brother, what we do to others we do to Jesus.
3. Jesus commands we love our brothers as ourselves.
4. Think of how some others treat their spouses, people at work, people in Church, neighbors and many are innocent being abused by hateful others. God is love.
Satan is hate.
5. Can you imagine abuse upon abuse put on the backs of innocent others?
6. The more a person sins against their innocent brother and refuse repentance they bring down misery and darkness on themselves. They carry that hard heart inside.
7. We are restless until we rest in God. We were created for more, more and more of God, living in us.
8. Meditate on Jesus carrying the cross, so heavy He could not carry it, Jesus fell 3 times under its weight.
Think of others hurting their spouse or best friend - over and over again and refusing to admit their sins.
9 . Satan is the Father of lies, Satan tempts people and they give into Satan.
10. Jesus taught us: Love gives for the good of the other, what we do to others, we do to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The Crucifixion
1. When Jesus was baptized in the Jordon by John, the Father gave His endorsement of Jesus: “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
2. Meditate on Jesus on the cross.
This was from October 5, 2022, eleven days ago.
Jesus wanted me to pray all day on the 5th.
This was just days ago.
3. A person that just keeps doing the deadly sins, just
can keep getting up and doing the same ugliness.
4. St. Ignatius says they sin for pride, power, attention, or wealth.5. Prayer for Union with Jesus
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 in me.
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.
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.
6. Song: A Song from Jesus
7. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.8. 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
9. Prayer to the Father - May 16, 1998My Father,
With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.
It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.
My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.
And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.
I beg You Father for mercy.
I beg You Father for assistance.
I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.
Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.
Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men.
Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne.
We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia
10. While looking at the crucifix.
"What have I done for Christ?"
"What am I doing for Christ?"
"What ought I to do for Christ?"

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 |
