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.

My Power is Endless

    Jesus: ... Faith and Trust in the One True God. He truly loves you and will never abandon you, and the world presses in. Stand tall, rest you in Me. You are not to be fearful! I am God, the Living God. I created the heavens, the earth, I make the babies in the womb and you doubt My power in a sinful world! My power is all encompassing. My power is endless. It never changes, it is constant, infinite power. I have the power. I am He who powers you. Feel a wash of My love going through your body. I am here with you. I stand by your side, this is your cross, to live in the world. You know Me, but you watch a blind world and it sheds some doubt in your heart, it is harder on you because of your children.

    Little girl, trust, this is your test to know My power. Trust when it looks shaky and you will know how real I am. Do not even think such doubts; focus on Me. You know the truth; look into My eyes; feel the love in your heart. You love Me too. That love is so real; it powers you; your craving to be with Me is what leads you. The world can be so dark. I truly talk to you; read My letters, they are words for your friends and for you, for your children.

    I truly love you with such intensity you cannot ever comprehend on this earth. I am by your side. I never leave for one instant. I am hyper-vigilant. I watch like a loving mother watches her infant. Put your trust in Me, My little babies. I am the Good Shepherd; I know Mine and Mine know Me. I feed you. I hold you. I comfort you. I watch you day and night and I wait . . oh, how I wait, My little ones! Be with Me.

    Put aside your indifference; come to Me. I am there and I make Myself known to you. Nothing feeds the thirst in your soul but Me. You know Me, little ones. Step on satan, cast him into hell, he wants you to trust in this sick world. Trust in Me. I am alive in you and I love you so much. I never leave you and I will take care of you. My sweet one, l love you. Trust Me. I will make it work out, but I never leave you. My letter is finished.

 

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sirach 35: 12-14, 16-18

for the Lord is a judge
    who is utterly impartial.
He never shows partiality to the detriment of the poor,
    he listens to the plea of the injured party.
He does not ignore the orphan's supplication,
    nor the widow's as she pours out her complaint.

Whoever wholeheartedly serves God will be accepted,
    his petitions will carry to the clouds.
The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds:
    and until it does, he is not to be consoled,
nor will he desist until the Most High takes notice of him,
    acquits the upright and delivers judgement.

 

Psalm 34: 2-3, 17-19, 22

Bet       I will praise Yahweh from my heart;
            let the humble hear and rejoice.
Gimel   Proclaim with me the greatness of Yahweh,
            let us acclaim his name together.
Zade    They cry in anguish and Yahweh hears,
            and rescues them from all their troubles.
Qoph   Yahweh is near to the broken–hearted,
            he helps those whose spirit is crushed.
Resh     Though hardships without number beset the upright,
            Yahweh brings rescue from them all.
Taw      Yahweh ransoms the lives of those who serve him, 
             
and there will be no penalty for those who take refuge in him.

  

2 Timothy 4: 6-8, 16-18

As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me to depart. I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith; all there is to come for me now is the crown of uprightness which the Lord, the upright judge, will give to me on that Day; and not only to me but to all those who have longed for his appearing.

    The first time I had to present my defence, no one came into court to support me. Every one of them deserted me — may they not be held accountable for it. But the Lord stood by me and gave me power, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed for all the gentiles to hear; and so I was saved from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from all evil attempts on me, and bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

  

Luke 18: 9-14

He spoke the following parable to some people who prided themselves on being upright and despised everyone else, ‘Two men went up to the Temple to pray, one a Pharisee, the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood there and said this prayer to himself, "I thank you, God, that I am not grasping, unjust, adulterous like everyone else, and particularly that I am not like this tax collector here. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes on all I get." The tax collector stood some distance away, not daring even to raise his eyes to heaven; but he beat his breast and said, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." This man, I tell you, went home again justified; the other did not. For everyone who raises himself up will be humbled, but anyone who humbles himself will be raised up.’

 

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 27, 2013

HOMILY – (Sirach 35,12-14.16-18; 2 Timothy 4,6-8.16-18; Luke 18,9-14) Pharisees were lay people who dedicated themselves to trying to keep God’s law asperfectly as they could. St. Paul was a Pharisee and Jesus had some followers from among the Pharisee party. They held various theological viewpoints in opposition to the Sadducees (who were the priestly class). Although the gospels tell us a great deal about the opposition between Jesus and the Pharisees, it is interesting to note that it was not so much the Pharisees who fought to have Jesus put to death, it was the Sadducees. The prayer of the Pharisee we hear in today’s gospel would have been very characteristic of the prayer of any Pharisee and most probably what the Pharisee said about himself was true. He would have been strict about keeping the law, he would have performed spiritual practices over and above what the law demanded and he would have looked down upon anyone who failed to live up to his standards.

    Then there is the publican, a public employee: he worked for the government – the hated Roman government which held Israel in its power and required that taxes be sent annually to Rome. This publican was Jewish, as all of them were, and he was a tax collector. Such individuals were seen as traitors to their own people, and they were seen as thieves as well because this was how they made their living. They collected what would have been the Roman tax, and they added to this tax an additional tax which was their salary. Often the publicans paid themselves well by collecting enough money for a relatively comfortable life style.

    In today’s gospel, we hear of two men, a publican and a Pharisee who went up to the Temple to pray. The Pharisee was thinking God must have been very proud of him. He was quite proud of himself. The publican realized he didn’t have much to be proud of – he simply asked for God’s mercy.

    I would suspect 98% of us here today are puzzled by this parable. Like the Pharisee most of us can probably say: “I feel as if I’m a pretty good person, I try to keep the Commandments, I try to help my neighbor, I even say the rosary occasionally, I drop my collection envelope in the basket every week or every month. I’m glad I’m not like a lot of other people I know.” After the Pharisee listed all his good qualities, Jesus tells us he did not get right with God. So where did he go wrong? All the things he did were good things, except maybe for his thinking he was better than most everyone else. He forgot one important element in the spiritual life. It begins with humility. It begins with knowing that God is the source of our justification. It begins with the awareness that it is God who saves us. As a Pharisee, St. Paul, who for a time thought himself superior to those who believed in Christ, tells us later in his life in his Letter to the Romans: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) Two chapters later he emphasizes it: “Death spread to all humans because all people sinned.” (Rom. 5:12) None of us escape the guilt of sin and being humble enough to admit that and to ask God’s mercy is the first and most important step to be right with God. That’s where the Pharisee in today’s
parable got off the right track, he was full of pride at his own self-righteousness rather than being grateful for the righteousness of God. I wonder if those who have given up going to Mass have lost this awareness that our holiness and justification begins with a humble recognition of our need for God’s mercy. You might notice that’s the way Mass begins. By acknowledging we are not perfect when we approach God, we approach him in need of God’s mercy.

    Does all this mean we do not need to worry about keeping the Commandments or doing good works. Jesus stresses how important that is in so many passages in the Scriptures, but today, the gospel tells us how we are to begin our approach to God.

Do you wonder if there is any hope for the Pharisee who tried to serve God with such fidelity all his life. Certainly! There is always the hope that he would eventually look deep into his own heart and realize how self-centered, pompous, judgmental and ungrateful he was in life. Maybe then he would do more than say thank you God that I’m better than everyone else. He might recognize that he is like everyone else, in need of God’s saving love and grace for only Jesus is our Savior.

Mysteries of Light

The Baptism of Jesus

1. 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.’

2. This begins Jesus’ public life.
3. We are soldiers in the army of Christ.
4. Religious etc. should be loyal to Christ.
5. We are to fight the enemies of Christ in the world.
6. We are to be witnesses of the Light.
7. Religious are to be witnesses to Christ and the church in the world.
8. We are to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

9. R. I see the altar of sacrifice on the highest mountain. Think of the mountain being the Church. And from this high point the priest, think of the priest. The priest can be a great witness more and more as he gives himself to Jesus and Mary. The priest is another Christ to us. See grace outpoured in copious fashion to all the earth. The people of the earth are fed by the Almighty God. Priests need to consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary. People are to consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary. This is our Mission. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, God has called us here to pray for the priests and for the renewal of the Church and the world.

10. R. We are one body. We are united in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Jesus gives to us His Body and Blood. What union! To spread this Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is our mission in the Shepherds of Christ. This is what the Father is teaching to us to pray these prayers fervently. Asked to be dressed in Jesus’ Precious Blood. Pray, He says from Prayer Manual, pray 10 to the end. We are praying the words that Jesus gave to Fr. Carter for devotion of His Heart and Mary’s Heart. We are praying for the renewal of the Church and the world. We are praying and consecrating our hearts that we will be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. These are great gifts that God has given to us. Today, Jesus is greatly offended because of the way that He is treated. We pray in reparation for our sins. Is this the love affair that God wants with us and with each other in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Jesus gave Himself, shed His Precious Body and Blood. Jesus teaches us all about the will of God, that it is in self surrender and in giving, and He is teaching us truly in this Movement. See the power of these prayers. Ask Jesus to dress us in His Precious Blood when we pray these prayers. God wants us to pray the prayers. Jesus gave to us these prayers for the renewal of the Church and the world. Jesus gave these prayers to pray for the priests. 
 

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. February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice - continues

Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice to the Father. This is the most pleasing sacrifice to the Father. If He gave His Son Who died for love of us, will He deny us when we unite our petitions with Jesus and offer these at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?

He took them to the highest mountain and He was transfigured before them in the greatest light.   end of excerpt


3. R. Jesus wanted this particular reading read and it’s entitled February 23rd - Sacrifice.

February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice - continues

The Father gave His Son for us. This is how great the Father’s love is for us.

When we go to the altar many times we are suffering. We want something really bad, but we know we love God the most. What the Father asks for us is to offer that which we are so attached to as a sacrifice, united to the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. If we offer this sacrifice to Him, the Father will pour out blessings that will be divine blessings, greater than anything we could have here on earth.

The Mass is the perfect sacrifice we offer to the Father, in which God pours out His blessings and we are one with Him and with all others in a profound expression of love. God shares His divine love with us and we partake in an intense way in His divine loving capacity. In order to become one in Him and to feel His love like this, we must surrender ourselves and be open. He told Abraham to offer his son. God gave him his son back. He wanted Abraham to love God above all things and people. end of excerpt


4. December 19, 1996

Mary: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said “No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways.” And He called and His call fell on deaf ears. Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.

5. 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.

R. Mary said to us that she appears in Florida as Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas. This to me looks similar to Our Lady of Guadalupe. For notice the similarity between Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Lady that appears on the building in Florida. She was pregnant and in labor and Our Lady of Guadalupe is pregnant and crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

Revelation 12: 3-4

Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born.


6. March 3, 1997 - Day Falmouth Flooded Early Morning

Jesus: Oh, the waters will run and the earth will shake and you will suffer and suffer and work your own plan and say it happened before, it is not a sign from God - it is a phenomenon, a happening, no reason to take notice.

And I will shake you on your tree and you will fall to the ground as rotten fruit and all that will remain will be the fruit of heaven.


7. May 5, 1997

Mary is the New Eve

R. It has come full circle.

In the Bible, we see what happened. We see Adam and Eve sinned. We see Jesus is the New Adam and Mary is the New Eve. God created man and gave him great gifts - He gave him great lights.  

Man disobeyed God.

Genesis 3: 1-11

Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, ‘Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?’ The woman answered the snake, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, “You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death.” ’ Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’ The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’

R. Eve is the mother of all the living. There is the serpent and the woman. Eve sinned, she gave into her own will, she disobeyed God.

God gave us Mary, Mother of Jesus, Spiritual Mother of us. 

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 ctive 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. end of excerpt

R. Mary is the woman clothed as the sun. Mary will bring the children into the light, the light of knowing God.

God sent His Mother, the Mother of our Christ-life. Mary is the New Eve.

The old Eve was sinful and willful. Eve sinned. Eve obeyed the devil instead of God.

A beginning, a woman Eve, mother of the living, a serpent that caught this weak woman in his snare.

Mary is the New Eve.

 
8. Mary’s Message - from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message

9. Prayer to the Father - May 16, 1998

My 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.

10. Prayer to the Father - May 16, 1998 continues

        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
 

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. Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

3. From the Prayer Manual

Holy Spirit Prayer

Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.

4. From the Prayer Manual

Act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

 
5. From the Prayer Manual

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!


6. Sing: City of God

R. Jesus is the Light of the World. We are like people that are walking this earth with a shade down, a veil. We do not comprehend and we do not understand. We do not see Him in His magnificence and His light. We do not know many things. If we did we would all be on our faces right now, flat on the ground giving praise and worship to the Almighty God. Jesus is truly present and in this room in the Eucharist. But there is a shade down; it is as in a room. If the shade is down, there is darkness and the sunlight does not come through from the outside. But if the shade is lifted, the sunlight comes into the room. Jesus is the Light of the world. What we know is veiled. God can lift the veil. We can see more and more if God lets us. We do not need to be focused on so many foolish things. He is risen, the Light of the World, and He gives to us a sharing in His life.

7. R. It is all there. The Mass is there. The Sacraments are there. God wants to fill us more and more with His life. This grace is outpoured on this earth. But we do not comprehend. Spread the consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart to priests. We need grace to be outpoured more and more on the world. Pray the prayers Jesus gave Fr. Carter. This is what the Shepherds of Christ Movement is all about. It is the Father’s plan from all eternity that the Shepherds of Christ Movement would be major in helping to spread the consecration to the priests, that priest’s hearts would be consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that a nation, that a Church, that a people that are walking in darkness will see the light and that grace would be outpoured. Spreading the Consecration will help us to have holy priests. It is now as if the shade is down and the sun is on the other side of the shade but I do not see it. Jesus is giving us immense light, the more we consecrate our hearts to Jesus and Mary. God wants our intimate love. We must reach the priests with the Priestly Newsletter that they will consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary, that their hearts will be turned to hearts of love, that they will know God with the greatest intimacy, for the Holy Spirit works within the heart of the Virgin Mary and gives great lights.

8. R. Jesus is alive. We are His faithful witnesses. Jesus is in this room, the Almighty God, the same Jesus that came forth from the tomb, truly present in the Eucharist. He will give to us this understanding into Him in this new era, the Reign of the Two Hearts, for we will be the children of light that will know God with such intensity.

9. R. We pray to the Father, with all our hearts and all our love, the ‘Our Father.’ We say every word. We say with such love, ‘Our Father,’ we pray that Thy kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven. We want this kingdom here, we are all brothers and sisters and God is our Father and we want all men doing His will. We ask to be fed both spiritually and physically every day. We beg to be free from evil and have peace. We ask Him to keep us free from sin and anxiety and hope for His coming. We pray that the kingdom and power and the glory are God’s now and forever. We give to each other peace and we beg for forgiveness and mercy. We are sinful, but we want mercy. We stand. We should shout out to the Father, “Look how sinful we are!” We beg for mercy for our sins and those of all men.

10. Sing: Holy God We Praise Thy Name

 


 

 
   

The Transfiguration

1. Mark 9: 2-10

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.

3. February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice - continues

We go to the altar of sacrifice. The mountain to come, in which so many graces will flow, is the altar of sacrifice where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered through the hands of consecrated priests. We hear the Father say, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, listen to Him.” end of excerpt

R. On Tuesday there is Eucharistic Adoration and is there one to go to visit Him? Yet there are so many to go to this festival. Jesus wants us to love Him, to adore Him, to go to the Eucharist, to bow down as the angel, to kiss the floor, to say, “Oh, my Almighty God how I love You and how I adore You”. This is our mission, but we may not understand the seriousness of this. We feel afraid. I go to the festival and I see so many people. I know in my heart how it is. I know the Eucharist truly is the Son of God. Whether there is one or five thousand people there in front of the Exposed Eucharist. I know it is Jesus and I am most intimately united to Jesus. I want deeper union with God.


4. February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice

When I go to Mass I offer a sacrifice. God wants our all. He wants to be first in our life. He asked Abraham to sacrifice his son.

Gen. 22: 1-2, 9-13, 15-18

It happened some time later that God put Abraham to the test. “Abraham, Abraham!” he called. “Here I am,” he replied. God said, “Take your son, your only son, your beloved Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, where you are to offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I shall point out to you.

When they arrived at the place which God had indicated to him, Abraham built an altar there, and arranged the wood. Then he bound his son and put him on the altar on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.

But the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven. “Abraham, Abraham!” he said. “Here I am,” he replied. Do not raise your hand against the boy,” the angel said. “Do not harm him, for now I know you fear God. You have not refused me your own beloved son.” Then looking up, Abraham saw a ram caught by its horns in a bush. Abraham took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

The angel of Yahweh called Abraham a second time from heaven. “I swear by my own self, Yahweh declares, that because you have done this, because you have not refused me your own beloved son, I will shower blessings on you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will gain possession of the gates of their enemies. All nations on earth will bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed my command. end of excerpt


5. R. In one of the apparitions by the angel it says, the angel came bearing a gold chalice in one hand and a host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed the drops of blood were falling from the host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid air and prostrated himself on the ground saying the most beautiful prayer, “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.”  5. Our Lady’s Peace Plan, op cit., p.2.


6. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

7. May 22, 1997

The Spouse of the Lamb

Jesus: My Child,

I am requesting you bind the Spouse of the Lamb material you now have available and circulate it with this message. Read one entry after communion each day. Write to Me now as your beloved bridegroom, tell Me your love for Me and your feelings for Me. This is an urgent message for your Movement. Every person must see Me as their bridegroom and write to Me as such. Read the entries after communion. You are My spouse. This booklet should include a color picture of the bridal Mary and the picture above the altar in China. I love you, give this to the leaders promptly.

 
9. Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.


10. R. I unite in this Holy Sacrifice, united to the sacrifice of Jesus – to the Father, in the Holy Spirit – through the powerful intercession of Mary by our side, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory. I beg for grace to be outpoured on this earth. I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory and I give myself to the Father and I beg that His grace is outpoured on us, His people. This is the greatest gift of all - the gift of Himself! ...

Jesus is the light that shines in our dark souls and our imperfections are brought to light that we might die to them and be more like Him. We come broken; we are made whole. We are sinners. We are made holy through the workings of the Holy Spirit in the Heart of Mary. We die that we may live in Him. Take away my sins, cleanse me, have mercy on me, oh God, that I may be more like You! I give myself as an offering to help make reparation for my sins and the sins of men. My sacrifice is offered united to Jesus in the Mass, to the Father, to give God greater love. You, God, are all worthy of my love, my sacrifice is offered to be one with You. I give myself to You and unite as deeply as possible to You to be a lover like You in the world. And He gives us Himself. Our loving capacity is elevated to such heights as we unite to Him. We feel God’s presence in us. We want the presence of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit deep in our soul. We are in awe of the Almighty, All-Powerful, all-loving God.

And I walk to the altar to receive Jesus. Jesus is there. Jesus gives me Himself. He gives Himself to me in the Holy Eucharist.

These moments after communion are the dearest moments of all - when He unites to us, His feeble creatures, and He gives Himself most intimately with me. I become one in Him and I know things, insights, into God, that I never knew before. I know My Divine Lover more deeply in my being in a most intimate union. God tells me in my heart the Father’s will for me. I feel His presence within my chest - it is the presence of God.

I give thanks to Him and remain with Him so one in my heart. God blesses me. My heart has been lifted to a new height in this great union with Him.

The whisperings in my heart. He outpours His grace to me. The seeds of Our Blessed Savior, alive in my heart, ready to germinate and bring forth light in the world.

Oh, God, I thank you for this gift and I pray: “Thy Kingdom Come, thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Amen. Alleluia. Praise the Lord, for he has visited His people and the earth is full of His love, alive in our hearts.

 

The Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper

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. Matthew 28:20

and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.’

3. God is with us truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist this day.
4. We have the Eucharist exposed in our Church in China, Indiana.



5. God comes to us in the Eucharist, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
6. We have had the Church on earth our whole life!!!

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus I Love You

 April 13, 1994

 Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus:  How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.

    Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.

    I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.

    I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!

    I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!

    I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!

    Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.

    Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

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.

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

$ 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
