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. Dear Jesus,
I offer You my day, my will and my life – please
help me today –
Today is the day the Lord has made, let us
rejoice.
Every action should be for the honor and glory
of God.
3Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 1998 - ISSUE FOUR
Shortly before he was to die from cancer, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin left us these inspiring words about peace: "It is the first day of November, and fall is giving way to winter. Soon the trees will lose the vibrant colors of their leaves and snow will cover the ground. The earth will shut down, and people will race to and from their destinations bundled up for warmth. Chicago winters are harsh. It is a time of dying.
"But we know that spring will soon come with all its new life and wonder.
"It is quite clear that I will not be alive in the spring. But I will soon experience new life in a different way...
"What I would like to leave behind is a simple prayer that each of you may find what I have found—God's special gift to us all: the gift of peace. When we are at peace, we find the freedom to be most fully who we are, even in the worst of times. We let go of what is non-essential and embrace what is essential. We empty ourselves so that God may more fully work within us. And we become instruments in the hands of the Lord."
3. Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, The Gift of Peace, Loyola University Press, pp. 151-153.

R. Dear God help me now –
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 within 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.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
R. We pray for our beloved
priests, the Church
and the world –
Dear God hear our prayer and help us please –
we love You.
Help us in everything we do –
Every moment of this day –
We love You, God.
We must live according to what is right –
We are all sinners –
God shows us the Babylonian exile –
Jeremiah warned them –
They would not listen
We are all to be servants of God
God wants us to be servants of Him –
We must put God first –
We thank Jesus for coming our
Savior –
Christmas is a time to be so grateful
God loved us and sent His Son our
Savior –
Thanksgiving is for thanking God –
being in gratitude to God –
God loves us so much –
He went to prepare a place for
us in heaven –
We are to serve Him –
We serve God and go to Him for
strength –
We follow God's plan to be
the best we can be.
Every day is a gift God gives us to
serve and to love Him –
Yesterday a chipmunk was trapped in
a walled enclosed area we have
at our house –
He could not get up the wall – he
was too small for the big
wall –
When a person gets into a trap of
living in opposition to what
God wants and refuses anybody's
directions or help –
They can stay trapped because
of their own opposition to
God's plan for us –
God calls us to love Him –
God calls us to work with
each other –
God calls us to obey the commandments –
The Ten Commandments
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
4. Honor your father and your mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.
R. The devil is the Father of lies –
If a person lives in lies, things
keep working out in chaos
and confusion around him –
God wants us to obey Him and live
by His rule –
He created us and loved us into existence –
A man who rebels against what
God wants has a problem –
God has created us to love to
work by His Plan not to
rebel against Him –
The deadly sins are deadly –
Like the animal in a walled
in trap – a person can wall
themselves in by their pride,
their choices – what they
keep doing in their life
opposing God –
Isolating, rebelling against
those in just authority
over them –
They refuse to co-operate with
anybody –
God loves us –
He wants us in heaven with Him –
We must follow His direction –
A person can wall themselves
in so they don't trust
anyone and rebel
against God's plan –
Matthew 12:46-50
The true kinsfolk of Jesus
He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'
R. Will our lives be peaceful?
Mary is the Queen of Peace –
We are not trapped in a walled
in cage –
We can reflect Mary's Motherly
love for us –
Politics surround us –
Look at all the dialogue
of 50 different people
with 50 different opinions –
God must be first and we are to
follow His law –
He gives us the Word –
Adam and Eve rebelled against
God and they were thrown
out of the Garden of Paradise –
A person has a life-time to live as
God wants or have a
No trust rule –
Living in lies
Doing what they want –
rebelling against God's plan –
It's good to remember what happened
to our first parents –
As long as Adam and Eve did what
God wanted they were in Paradise –
When they did their own will
they suffered –
Keep God First
Don't rebel against His Plan –
Seek God's help –
Co-operate with those God has
put in our lives –
Why be a person isolated
in a walled in cage
rebelling against God –
Luke 13: 6-9
He told this parable, ‘A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none. He said to his vinedresser, “For three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and finding none. Cut it down: why should it be taking up the ground?” “Sir,” the man replied, “leave it one more year and give me time to dig round it and manure it: it may bear fruit next year; if not, then you can cut it down.” ’
R. God has given us love and gifts –
He tells us what we must do –
People can stubbornly ignore Him –
He gives us a life-time to
obey and serve Him –
to follow His plan –
That's why we're here –
R. Jeremiah warned
Some expect God to come to their
plan – some
expect God to affirm their
wrong ways.
John the Baptist warned –
He spoke the truth –
Jeremiah was punished by those
who would not listen.
Jesus was punished and put to
death.
Deuteronomy 30: 19-20
Today, I call heaven and earth to witness against you: I am offering you life or death, blessing or curse. Choose life, then, so that you and your descendants may live, in the love of Yahweh your God, obeying his voice, holding fast to him; for in this your life consists, and on this depends the length of time that you stay in the country which Yahweh swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that he would give them.’
R. Jesus is the Lamb of God –
The willful man wants his own plan –
doesn't want to suffer –
does what he wants –
refuses responsibility and
accountability
R. Jesus died innocently –
Bad thief just wanted to get down
off cross and continue
his thievery
Violence, injustice –
oppression –
God calls us to grow in His image and
likeness – we have a free will –
God calls us to contribute to the
building of His Kingdom –
We pray for victims of violence
and terror at the hands
of those who hurt others
with malice of intent –
Sing Psalm: The Lord is Kind and Merciful
God called Moses to teach, to
lead –
Moses led the people from
slavery to freedom –
God is the "I AM"
God led Moses through the
desert –
Moses obeyed God's plan –
God wants to lead us through this
life to Eternal life –
We have a free will –
we can do it God's way –
we can fight God –
When we loose faith in God
we wallow around in
the desert of life –

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. $15 |
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. $15 |
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. $15 |
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. $15 |

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD. — Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10 |
