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 Election and 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. God has called us to know,
love, and serve Him.
God is always guiding us
if we are open.
We give, maybe not much,
God helps us, God uses our
lives and can magnify what
we do.
When we are weak, we are
strong in Him.
It is love.
How do we serve God in
love?
Are we grateful?
How are we present to
others?
Give God what He asks for.
We can do what we want,
not what God asks for, and
then give God something
else later, He didn’t ask for,
then act like that’s okay.
That’s us doing what we
want.
Flowers are beautiful.
Sunsets come from God.
Peace and love in actions
what God calls us to is
God’s will for us.
Just as someone walks in
co-operation and love and
caring, another can walk to
have discord, when working
with others.
What is familiar to them
when dealing with others -
may be conflict and they
make it to walk in what is
familiar to them. This is not
walking in light, but in
darkness.
Walk in the Light, be kind
and co-operative, walking
in love and peace and
harmony with others.
Oh Christ, be our light, walk
with me today. Dear God,
love and operate in me.
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.
R. To control things a person
can start conflict - so there
will not be any spontaneity
by others.
They may not want to build
any bridges, they like being
in control and isolated.
A person in the light and
respecting others, seeking
God’s will, is respecting
others and seeking peace
and unity with others.
God calls us to be open.
The window shut in the
room lets in no air.
How can the Holy Spirit fill
us, penetrate us, guide us if
we are locked shut and
want no one to enter in.
Come Holy Spirit, I open my
heart to You, Holy Spirit,
come and fill me, guide me,
give me the grace I need
most, help me to open my
heart to God.
I love You God, I want to be
one in You, come and
operate in me, I am Yours
Lord, I want to have my life
in You.
Come and dwell in my soul.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among
women, and blessed is the
Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Dear Holy Spirit, I pray for
Your gifts, knowledge,
wisdom, understanding,
fear of God, fortitude,
piety, and counsel.
I want to have the fruits of
the Holy Spirit - peace, joy,
kindness, charity, patience,
goodness, long-suffering,
mildness, faith, modesty,
constancy, and chastity.
Oh God, I love You so much,
come deeply into my graced,
baptized soul, fill my soul
with grace and light and love.
God wants us to lift others up.
God wants to lift us up.
Love is like a hot-air balloon,
lifting us up.
R. The devil wants to work in
people to push others down.
This is darkness.
Jesus told me to put a hot-air
balloon on Blue Book 1 and
call His love letters,
“Teachings to Lift you up.”
Jesus: This is the picture I want in My messages. When you read these messages, look at My picture and know I love you. These messages are My words of love for each of you.
Open anywhere.
R. Love is like a beautiful song,
that penetrates the soul.
Jesus loved us so much He
died for our sins.
Jesus loves us so much He
gives Himself to us today,
Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity in the Holy
Eucharist.
Jesus is truly present, no
less present than when He
walked the earth.
Oh God, thank You for the
Eucharist, I love You so
much.
Please God heal me. I pray
for all those special
intentions, fill us with
Your love, God.
I love You, my God.
Thank You.
R. On that Special Day
Today is that Day.
Oh God Thank You
Jesus is the Light of the
world.

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.’
