Pray the Rosary for the World

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. While meditating on the rosary and the Resurrection: I thought what it would be like if Fr. Carter came back and was alive, what about my mom, that made me want to cry, or my dad.
Can you even imagine how the Apostles were seeing Jesus alive?
I can’t even imagine.
My heart burns to think of it.Jesus is telling us:
He died and He came back alive!!
Jesus is telling us there is life after death for us!!!!Now think of the Ascension, if Jesus' miracles were not enough, He went into the sky.
Birds fly, but people don’t ascend up into where a cloud took Him out of sight. Really high this tells us, out of sight!!!
I thought last week, only Jesus could walk on water, sleep in a boat tossing and turning in a violent storm.
Jesus healed the sick, cured blind people, cured a cripple, etc.
God is a God of miracles
Faith: believing, even when we don’t see with our eyes!!Look at the Apostles on Pentecost - they spoke and others in foreign languages understood.
Miracles, healings, conversions
And we will live after death - that’s big!!We are to see the destiny God wants for us to live forever, in the fullness of life in heaven!!
Wow
1 Corinthians 2:9
“What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;”
R. Mary was lighted and beautiful tonight.
So was Jesus!!
R. Miracles!!
God is light and in Him is no darkness!!Retreat tomorrow

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

head parted tongues of
fire.3. They spoke and everyone

R. Spiritual Exercises
We need to grow in the spiritual
life. St. Ignatius gives us the Discernment
of Spirits.Is it of the Holy Spirit or is the
evil spirit moving in the soul?Jesus gave me the Holy Spirit Novena,
praying for the gifts – so the Holy Spirit
floods the soul and operates in
the person, but pride is an
enemy to this.How much water can you put
in a jar with the lid on it?None – The person must pray
to die to those ways that close
the heart and soul down – like
a closed jar.Pride is one of these –
the devil moves in pride –The devil moves in jealousy,
envy, anger, lust for food,
drink, sex, slothfulness –
desolation –
the evil spirit guides and
counsels in desolation and
the person allows them to
operate in this evil spirit
filling them –They are closed to the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Spirit wants to come and
open the heart and soul to
the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit
comes and brings.How much water goes in a
bottle with a lid on –
NONE –To remain closed, caved-in,
in pride and anger and
jealousy, envy, lust,
gluttony, slothfulness
is to allow the evil
spirit to guide and
counsel and run things –To be Godly is to have the
Holy Spirit coming with His gifts
in the open heart and soul
and guiding us with
this possession the Holy Spirit wants
in our soul –
to guide, to council,
to mold us more and more in
the image of God –And with the gifts of the Spirit,
come the fruits of the Holy Spirit
one of which is joy –
fruit for the Kingdom of God –You don't get fruit
for the spiritual life
out of angry, jealous,
closed, prideful,
undisciplined hearts –
What rules there is
the evil spirit –
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.

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 — 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 — 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 |
