Prayer for Grace for our Country

November 18, 2018

 

Mary: The devil is running rampant.

There is so much suffering in the world.
As you dwell in my heart, I place you in the burning vat of Jesus' love for you. Satan lies to people so they don’t know how lovable they are.

You need this Movement.

It helps you have this truth how much God loves you. God loves you because you are you. You are lovable, so loved by Jesus.

Don’t listen to Satan, he is a fallen angel. He said ”I will not serve God”.

 

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3

Though I command languages both human and angelic—if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains—if I am without love, I am nothing. Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned—if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever. 

 

Mary: I tell you as your heavenly Mother that loves you so much.

Use the Blue Books. They are Jesus' love letters to you.

Pray the Prayer for Union.

Pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers.

Jesus loves you so much. Remember the prodigal son.

Oh, Jesus wants your union with Him.

He loves you so much.

I love you more than any earthly Mother ever could.

I am your Mother of love.

I am Our Lady of Clearwater.

I am Our Lady of  Fatima in the Americas.

Use the Blue Books.

Pray the Holy Spirit Novena God gave you.

Pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers.

Spread them.

Be loving and help one another.

Be thankful. Obey God.

                R. Jesus rode on a donkey on Palm Sunday –

                Mary went to Nazareth on a donkey –

                She carried Jesus in her womb –

                Like book ends

                Jesus was born in Bethlehem and the Father
                    showed His acceptance of this great
                    night by the shining star – 
                    There was not room for Jesus in the Inn –
                    His journey was on the donkey to Bethlehem
                        in Mary's womb –

                Now the people hail Jesus as He rides
                    on the donkey on Palm Sunday –
                    King of David – Oh God –

                Jesus threw out the money changers –

                He was stepping on their turf going in
                    the temple doing this –

                Then He gave a parable

                    Which son did the Father's will?
                    The first son said "no"
                        then did it –
                    The second son said yes and
                        didn't do it.

                It is God who put us here to do
                    His will not just talk
                        about it!

                Our faith is not a matter of saying
                    right words –
                    then doing your own will, not God's
                    will –

                Just spend time in a personal relationship
                    with God and beg to have the
                    Holy Spirit in you.

                God is all Powerful – when He
                    dwells in you and you dwell
                    in God, you have strength
                    to do the right thing –

                Putting God first and growing in virtues.

                We can say we will do God's will, but
                    it must be in our actions we do God's will.

                It doesn't work in marriage if a person
                    says they will do it and don't –
                    just give a lot of talk –

                If we are not doing what God wants
                    it's not too late to change –

                In a Gospel, Jesus asked His Apostles
                    who do you say I am –

                Peter said: "You are the Christ, Son of the
                    Living God" –
                    Peter was given the keys –
                    The Pope has authority –
                    Jesus built his Church and
                        Peter was pope –
                    Jesus show us the 3 roles
                        prophet, king and priest –
                    Jesus came to give us His Church.
                    Christ is Priest, Prophet and King.

                The Apostles knew Jesus was great –

                The Apostles knew they had an important
                    role in the building of the Kingdom –

                The Old Testament people had to be formed into
                    the people of God so then
                    God came to His people –
                    They were tested and tried to grow –

                Jesus prepared the Apostles to carry
                    on His work – the Church.

                Now God calls us to help in the
                    Reign of the Sacred Heart and
                    Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart –

                Mary promised this at Fatima

                When Peter said "You are the Christ,
                    Son of the Living God" –
                    Jesus praised him

                Then when Jesus told Peter He
                    would suffer and die and
                    be put to death
                    Peter objected – Oh No –

                So Jesus said
                    "Get behind me satan"

                Peter was tempting Jesus.

Luke 9: 23-24

Then, speaking to all, he said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, will save it.
 

                R. We are to ask for forgiveness of our
                    sins –

                Jesus teaches us the Eucharist is His
                    Body and Blood –

                Thomas More obeyed God –
                    not the king –
                    He was beheaded –

                What profit is it to gain the whole
                    world and lose your soul –

                Jesus teaches us about eternal life
                    through the scriptures –
                    the priest – the Church –

                Jesus is the Living God.

                R. Resurrection is a new life –
                    a happy life –

                Jesus raised Lazarus from
                    the dead –
                    this was a sign of greater
                    things to come for all
                    who believe in God –
                    Life beyond the grave –
                        IF we make our choice
                        to follow Jesus –

                R. Fr. Joe said he went to the
                    tomb of Lazarus and it
                    was so moving he could
                    hardly talk about it
                    for 4 years –
 

Through Him, With Him, In Him

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

"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the day-
light; what you hear in whispers, proclaim
from the housetops." (Matthew 10:27)
  

Jesus Has Come to Give Us Life

Jesus: "This is the day celebrating My Resurrection (Easter). The day of newness of life. I am Lord and Master. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Tell My people to come to Me if they wish to experience life in abundance. I want to give all an ever greater share in the life of My Resurrection. Without Me you cannot be happy, nor have peace, nor have real joy. Tell My people to surrender to Me more and more. The more they do so, the more they will experience My love, wisdom, power, peace, joy, happiness, mercy, and goodness. Within My Heart My people will find these riches. I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words."

Reflection: Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus has come to give us life, and to give us this life in abundance.

When we were baptized, we were incorporated into Christ and His Church. When we were baptized, we received the life of sanctifying grace. This life is a created sharing in the life of the Trinity. Truly, we are called to live a God-like existence according to the teaching and example of Jesus! It is our duty and our privilege to develop our life of grace—our Christ-life—through our participation in the Mass, through the reception of the sacraments, through prayer, and through all other good works. Indeed, we are called to love God and neighbor more and more.

What a glorious life has been given to us! In a spirit of thanksgiving, and together with Mary our Mother, let us always strive to know Christ more intimately, to love Him more ardently, and to follow Him more closely, so that He will always bring us to a closer union with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer: Father, we are profoundly grateful for the life You have given to us through Jesus and in the Holy Spirit. Through the constant intercession of Mary our Mother, we ask for the grace to always be Your worthy sons and daughters.  end of excerpt

                R. God is with us –

                Savior

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                R. We must live according to
                    what is right.

                We are all sinners.

                We are to be servants of God!

                That's what God wants for us.

                We thank God for
                    saving us and
                    strengthening us,
                    and helping us to be
                    the best we can be.

                Wisdom 6: 12-16 around 100 BC

                R. A wise person prepares ahead for some event –

                Common truth –

                If we seek wisdom it will be found –

                Oil is a symbol of good works –

                We do not get credit for good works of others –

                We are judged on what we did –

                Jesus is the Bridegroom of our soul –

                We are preparing for eternal life –

                We must be prepared –

                We know of the second coming of Jesus –

                God has given us this Movement to help us
                    prepare for the renewal of the Church
                    and the world.

                Jesus invites us to the Royal Banquet.

                Be watchful – a wise person is always ready.

                Be prepared –

                Repentance

Isaiah 11: 1-10

A shoot will spring 
    from the stock of Jesse, 
a new shoot will grow from his roots. 
On him will rest the spirit of Yahweh, 
the spirit of wisdom and insight, 
the spirit of counsel and power, 
the spirit of knowledge 
    and fear of Yahweh: 
his inspiration will lie in fearing Yahweh. 
His judgement will not be 
    by appearances. 
his verdict not given on hearsay. 
He will judge the weak with integrity 
and give fair sentence 
    for the humblest in the land. 
He will strike the country 
    with the rod of his mouth 
and with the breath of his lips 
    bring death to the wicked. 

Uprightness will be 
    the belt around his waist, 
and constancy the belt about his hips. 

The wolf will live with the lamb, 
the panther lie down with the kid, 
calf, lion and fat–stock beast together, 
with a little boy to lead them. 
The cow and the bear will graze, 
their young will lie down together. 
The lion will eat hay like the ox. 
The infant will play 
    over the den of the adder; 
the baby will put his hand 
    into the viper’s lair. 
No hurt, no harm will be done 
on all my holy mountain, 
for the country will be full 
    of knowledge of Yahweh 
as the waters cover the sea.

That day, the root of Jesse, 
    standing as a signal for the peoples, 
will be sought out by the nations 
    and its home will be glorious.

                R. Repent for the Kingdom of God is fast approaching –
                    Get ready for something –
                    Prepare – do something.

                How are we preparing to meet Christ?

                R. Prepare –

                Prepare for the future King - Emmanuel

                    God with us –

                    God gives us knowledge, fear of the Lord etc.

                    Peace –

                    God speaks of the lion laying with the lamb.

                    All will live in harmony on this earth.

                    John the Baptist says SOON
                    the Kingdom of God is at hand –

                    John the Baptist is a prophet –
                        he wore skin of animals –

                The Bread of Life is the Word and the
                    Eucharist –

                From the pierced Heart of Jesus
                    flowed Blood and water –
                    Water for Baptism
                    Blood for the Eucharist. 

                R. Jesus gives us a sharing in His life and
                feeds this life with the Bread of life –
                In the Gospel we see Jesus fed over 5000.
                Then the people wanted to make Jesus King.
                Jesus told the people there is more
                    than free health care and free food.
                Do not work for food that perishes –
                God wants us to prepare for eternal life!
 

John 6: 35

                R. We will have our chance to have a Mass
                    at our funeral I hope –

                Fr. Joe likes this scripture.
 

But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God, 
and no torment can touch them. 
To the unenlightened, they appeared to die, 
their departure was regarded as disaster, 
their leaving us like annihilation; 
but they are at peace. 
If, as it seemed to us, they suffered punishment, 
their hope was rich with immortality; 
slight was their correction, great will their blessings be. 
God was putting them to the test 
and has proved them worthy to be with him; 
he has tested them like gold in a furnace, 
and accepted them as a perfect burnt offering. 
At their time of visitation, they will shine out; 
as sparks run through the stubble, so will they. 
They will judge nations, rule over peoples, 
and the Lord will be their king for ever. 
Those who trust in him will understand the truth, 
those who are faithful will live with him in love; 
for grace and mercy await his holy ones, 
and he intervenes on behalf of his chosen.

                Jesus says:

                    I am the way, the truth and
                        the life –

                R. We know we are to prepare and expect
                    to die –

                We want to share in His risen life
                    someday –

                We see Jesus died –
                We see Jesus rose.

                We know that Jesus had the
                    last supper –
                    He then was tortured,
                        suffered and put to death –
                    Jesus remained faithful –

                Jesus was faithful to His mission of
                    teaching, loving and doing
                    God's will.

                Jesus says:

                    Don't let your hearts be troubled –

                R. Jesus appeared to the Apostles, when
                    He appeared, Thomas wasn't
                    there.

                Jesus appeared again and said:
                    "I am the way, the truth and
                        the life" –

                We need to pray for each other –
                    We will die someday –
                    Pray we are ready –
                    God raised Christ from the Dead –
                    We pray for us to go to heaven –
                    We pray for the world.
                    We go to the Eucharist.
                        We eat His Body and Blood of Jesus.
                        We pray to God to hear our
                            prayer –
                        We pray we see God
                            Face-to-face.

                We pray for all of us.

                God is our shelter and our strength.

                The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary
                    sacramentally made present –

                We stand with Mary under the cross
                    at the Mass by the altar.

                We pray for the priests, the Church
                    and the world.

                We want to be prepared when
                    we die –

                We pray to be ready –

                We pray to see Jesus face-to-face.

                We want to build the Kingdom of God while
                    we are on earth –

                God has a unique plan for us in salvation history.

                We are to prepare and
                    let God's Kingdom grow in our hearts.

                We are to produce fruit for
                    the building of the Kingdom of God –

                We are to work for this –

                The Lord wants us to grow, like planting
                    seeds and help others grow –

                We get blessed for our labor, but St. Paul
                    says we must have love –

                God is the Creator and chose us to
                    share in this work –

                Jesus was trying to help people in
                    His home town and they
                    got angry because Jesus
                    was telling them what to do.

                Jesus was just a simple carpenter –

                God's work is never done –

                Be thankful for work –

                Work has been given to us –

                We learn from our mistakes –

                Every day is a gift to work for Jesus.

                Every man is to do his best –

                Every man is to do his work
                    with all his strength
                    for God –

                Pray for life
