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. What makes some people see with eyes of gratitude, while others never see other's problems and feel sorry for themselves?
What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit? 
 


   

R. We are body, mind and spirit!!
We need to be in balance.

God wants us eternally in heaven with Him.
We pray to the Holy Spirit to fill us with His gifts.

We pray for fortitude (courage).

We pray to the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of God.

God the Holy Spirit molds us more and more in the image and likeness of God.
Here is a message Jesus gave to Fr. Carter.
 

           From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your gifts of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord. As we dwell in the Heart of Mary, Your spouse, fashion us more and more according to the Heart of Jesus. end of excerpt from Tell My People
 

R. Doing God’s will is most important.
God is molding us into what He wants us to be. 

He is helping us grow, more in His image and likeness, and helping others to grow into what He wants them to be.

Jesus loved the quiet life from age 12 to 30.
When people get old they can have dementia, Parkinson’s.
It can take a big toll on a very prosperous person. Look at Pope John Paul II how he suffered so much in the end.
I think he died at 84, his life helped the whole world.
 

 

Life is short

Life is short
 

R. We are surprised many times, how well things turn out when we wait on the Lord.
We hear, the Lord will grant our hearts request, but how could that happen when we jump the gun on His plan.
Wait on the Lord, would you give your own child a snake, when you love them dearly.
God’s timing is perfect timing, God’s plan is the perfect Plan.
God’s call to us is to work His plan in love.

But that means we open to the Holy Spirit and let Him give us details of the Father’s Plan.
Patience is a virtue.
I remember King Saul in the Old Testament did his own plan and told Samuel why, when Samuel told him he disobeyed.

Hell is full of people who always had to be right.
God gives us gifts, He gives us what we need, but we are under Him.

God wants us to love Him, and love others as ourselves.

Living in the moment.

One day at a time!!

If we’re always out for ourselves and ready to fight for it, how can anybody just give us love from the bottom of their heart and just give us something special?

Take the time, do what God calls us to do, not in a hurry, just enjoy things, help each other.

Sing: Why Do We Hurt the Ones We Love?


 

R. When you don’t forgive someone who hurt you, you’re not free, you choose to stay hurt.
Not forgiving hurts you the most.

Forgiveness is a friend for oneself

Who gets hurt when one holds out in bitter unforgiveness for parents, some deceased.
When you forgive you set yourself free.
When you hold onto hurt, you hold yourself captive - which leads to bitterness and sorrowness in heart.
 


 

R. Dear God we give our hearts to Jesus' Sacred Heart and Mary’s Immaculate Heart.
Help us to be united as we dwell in these two perfect Hearts of love.
If I dwell in Their Hearts and you dwell in Their Hearts we are united in oneness.

It takes a willingness to want to let go of hurt in the heart and move on to live life in being raised up.
 


 

R. The Sacred Heart of Jesus heals the broken heart, if we are willing to seek forgiveness.

Bitterness makes hearts closed and hard.

Help me to spread the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

We have been called by Jesus and Mary to spread love and peace.
   

 


   

Sing: America

Sing: Let There be Peace on Earth

R. God wants us to live a positive life, the resurrected life and die to those defect of characters not like Jesus.

Help me spread the consecration to Jesus and Mary.

Can we let go of bitterness and self-destructive patterned behavior for a life
of love, of forgiveness, of peace and building God’s Kingdom?

The devil wants division, bitterness, fear, hatred and punishment.

Mary says: “The family that prays together stays together.”
 


 

R. It is a battle with Satan.
The captives are set free with forgiveness and love.

Sing: Battle Hymn of the Republic

We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary, with each other in love.

Love is freedom. God is love. Freedom is in this.
Dying to defects of character, living the life of resurrection in Christ.
 

Life is short
 

R. There were two thieves at the point of death when Jesus was dying.
One thief was bad and would not ask for forgiveness or forgive - the other thief was sorry, he asks to be remembered when Jesus went to His kingdom.
 


 

R. Ask for forgiveness and live a holy life. Give your heart to Jesus and Mary. Don’t give into pride ask for forgiveness and forgive.

We are never alone. God forgives those that are humble and sorry for their sins.
Be sorry for sins, life is short,
ask for forgiveness for sins and tell God you are sorry for your sins.
Sin offends God, who loves us and laid down His life for us.
 

Life is short

Sing: A Song from Jesus

 


   

R. Don’t be afraid, pray for courage to be as God called you to be. Pray for grace to die to your defects of character and live the life of resurrection in Him.

 

  

Luminous Mysteries

The Baptism of Jesus 

1. These are the mysteries of light.

2. Mark 1: 9-11

It was at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’
 

3. Jesus lived a quiet life until His public life.

4. When John baptized Jesus the heavens were thrown open.

5. The voice of the Father was heard.

6. “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”

7. The Holy Spirit was seen in the form of a dove over Jesus’ head.

8. This began Jesus’ public life.

9. John the Baptist was Jesus’ cousin.
 


 

10. John the Baptist was to prepare the way of the Lord.

 

The Marriage at Cana

1. 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.’ 
 

2. Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding feast of Cana.

3. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.

4. In the Mass bread and wine is changed into the body and blood of Jesus.

5. Mary has powerful intercession.

6. This is considered the first miracle of Jesus’ public life.

7. These are the mysteries of Light. Jesus performed many miracles after this: healing, driving out demons, even raising Jarius‘ daughter from the dead.
 


 

8. We can pray to God for help - He is a God of miracles.

9. Jesus is the Light of the world.

10. In Him is no darkness. Jesus please hear our prayer for the priests, the Church and the world.

 

The Kingdom of God

1. Matthew 5: 3-12

How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the gentle:
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
Blessed are those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those
   who hunger and thirst for uprightness:
they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and
speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this
is how they persecuted the prophets before you.


2. We pray for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and Triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

3. Jesus is the second Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Son of God.

4. Jesus is Priest, Prophet and King.

5. We are called by God to be witnesses to the Good News.

6. We are to serve God in obedience to His will and with Love.

7. Others see our Good works and praise our Heavenly Father in heaven.

8. We are uniquely called by God to our vocation.

9. Everybody has a unique calling from God.

10. Sing: To Jesus Christ, our Sovereign King

 

The Transfiguration

1. Mark 9: 2-8

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.
 

2. Be grateful for the little things in life.

3. Jesus took them up Mt. Tabor and was transfigured before Peter, James and John.
 


 

4. These 3 Apostles later saw Jesus’ Agony in the Garden.

5. They saw Jesus in the Transfiguration in such light.

6. They soon would see Jesus in His glorified body at the Resurrection.
 


 

7. When they saw the Resurrection they remembered the Transfiguration.

8. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord


 

9. Jesus showed them Himself on a mountain.
 


 

10. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

 

The Institution of the Eucharist

1. 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26

For the tradition I received from the Lord and also handed on to you is that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it, and he said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' And in the same way, with the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.' Whenever you eat this bread, then, and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death until he comes.
 

2. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist: body, blood, soul and Divinity.

3. We were created in the image and likeness of God.

4. We receive a sharing in Divine life in baptism.

5. God feeds this life with Himself.

6. 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
 

7. Mass Book - December 27, 1995

LET US LOVE THE TWO HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY
IN THE RECEPTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST.

HE GAVE HIMSELF TO US ON THE CROSS. HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST.

How great was the act of love, God gave to this world, when He gave Himself and died on the cross. He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.

The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow.

The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.

This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our Holy, Loving God. Our all consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God? He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love when Jesus gives Himself-Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in Communion? We should beg God, in this most intimate union with Him, to help us to love Him with greatest love.

Jesus is a Person. He wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. Our Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist, we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, with Divinity, we must pour out our love to God. We must pour out our heart to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being in the sacrament of His greatest love. This is the Gift of Himself.

Think of how it is to love someone and give your all for that person, to pour out your heart to him or her and then be treated with coldness and neglect. It hurts our heart so much more when we deeply love someone to be rejected by that person. Jesus loves us with the deepest love. We cannot fully comprehend this love. Let us love Him with the deepest love. Let us love Mary and her Immaculate Heart. Let us love her as the Mother of God. Let us love her as the virgin who bore the Son of God. May we, in the reception of the Eucharist pour out our love to Him, to this adorable Heart. May we pour out our love to His Holy Mother.

Mary said at Fatima that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Let us love these two Hearts as we receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Then we are so deeply united with God. We see Their two Hearts surrounded with thorns for the injustices against Their Hearts. Let us help make reparation daily as we receive Him in the Eucharist. This is a special time to help make reparation to Their wounded Hearts.

Let us remember how He poured His love out to us on the cross and how He pours out His love to us now when He gives us Himself in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which contains His Heart of burning love. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Her heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. As the wounds in Their Hearts are deep, so too is Their love so deep.

He does not want "surface love". He wants hearts filled with deep burning love.   end of December 27, 1995

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
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
