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.

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. We pray for the upcoming election.

Love Your Brothers as I Have Loved You

See Note: November 4, 1994 about this message

    Jesus: I am watching you at the Center. My Heart is an endless furnace of love. I am waiting for your time with Me. I love you each so dearly. Your soul craves My love, but I sit alone and you complain about one another. I love you with an open Heart that is ablaze for love of you. Each child there, I love with the tenderest Heart. I died for each person, I would suffer and die for you this day. My Father created each child His special and loving child. You are a child of God! You are so loved. My
Father gave you Me for love of you. The Holy Spirit loves you so intently and wants to give you such love. Love on fire! He wants to lead you to such great love of Me and My Father.

    My beloved Mother, who suffered so for love of you, who stood by Me and shared in My Life, appears as Our Lady of Light to light your way to the love of her precious Son. She, who suffered and experienced joy with Me, she who from a young girl to an old woman knew the love of My Heart for you, appears to lead you to such love with My Sacred Heart. She wants you to come to her pure Heart and let her place you deeply in My Heart.

    My dear children, loved by My Father and My Mother, let the Spirit sanctify you, let go and be led to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am as present this day as the day I died on the cross. I am present in the Eucharist in My Divinity and humanity. I am waiting for you in the tabernacle. I am waiting to give you My love. I pour Myself out to you.

    You go into battle with your hearts filled with My love. I watch you battle everyday this spiritual battle. I cry out to you to return to holiness. I cry out to you to realize the divine love I pour out to you. Come back to love. Make Me the very center of your life. You will not light your city with hearts that are angry. It is only by the love of God that you will light your city. Come to the burning Heart of Jesus. Come to Him for your love.

    I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I suffered so for those who neglect Me and My most precious love. I pour out to you Myself. I love you no less than the day I died.

    Open your hearts to be hearts that are pure. Rid yourself of all hate and anger toward your brothers. Come from a heart that is pure. You cannot love Me if you do not love your brother, all your brothers. Look to your brother for the Jesus that lives in them. You must love every person. I command you to love God with your whole heart, your whole mind and your whole soul. I command you to love your neighbor as yourself.

    I gave the last beat of My Heart for your brother. I live in your brother. Your Father created your brother. How can you say you love Me when you do not love your brother? I am in your brother, I love you all. I watch each of you. I love each of you and many times you hate one another. You are often divided because you are not coming to Me for your strength. You need to operate from love. Love one another. I watch you hate one another and then tell yourself you love Me. I love each person. You cannot light your city without the love of God alive in your hearts. To love God you must love your brother. To love your brother, pray to realize My love for you. Pray for grace. Pray for one another. Say the Morning Offering. You are the city of My love. Love gives, love is kind, love is compassionate, love finds its roots in the Eucharistic Christ.

    Come to Me and I will pour My Heart out to you. These are the letters of My true love I pour out to you. I died for you. Why do you not think I would send you a letter of My love for you? I love you — these words are My love letters to you! These messages are My instructions for holiness and love of one another. Love one another as you realize My immense love for you. I talk to you and profess My deepest love. I give you songs of My greatest love. LOVE is active, LOVE is from the
heart. LOVE is rooted in a pure heart. You cannot hate one person and love Me. LOVE is kind, LOVE is seeing Me in your brother. This is the mighty medicine to light your city of love. Your children are sick and need this medicine. I beg you to circulate these messages. I talk to you every day and give you your answers, so sweetly given. My Heart is as Rita sees a heart open and burning with intense white and yellow flames. I came in the grotto to show you I am united with Mary to spread My
intense love. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, these messages need to be circulated. I am sending you these love letters daily. I beg you to listen to Me, it is in these letters you will unite in My love.

 

Note about the
November 3, 1994 Message

R. The priest at the Holy Spirit Center told me to duplicate November 3 message and he would pass it out. He talked about the plan unfolding -- in front of the whole church Friday night he said the message was from me. He said Fr. Carter was very important to the plan that would unfold.

    They sold the video -- the messages from Jesus video of mine April 17, 1994 in the bookstore.

    The priest was about to put out the message May 4, 1994 -- FINALLY -- at the Falmouth Farm.

    This message caused the split between Shepherds of Christ and the Holy Spirit Center and Falmouth Farm because they would not put it out.

    Fr. Carter told them to put it out -- They asked him in May, but somebody took the message of mine from Jesus, May 4, 1994, off the handout at the Falmouth Farm.

    That started the big split and the people there became very divided Jesus said from not getting the Blue Books. Finally the priest at the Holy Spirit Center did put this message May 4, 1994 out on the Falmouth Farm -- so many months later.
I include the message here.

I Call You to Holiness

May 4, 1994 4:30a.m.

Jesus: Dear ones, I am calling you to love your brothers. I have loved you. Would you, dear ones, lay down your lives for your brothers? How are you loving this day? Are you following Christ in your actions? I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life. You must constantly put the world aside and look to the Master for all your directions. I call you, My little ones, to holiness. I call you to pure hearts, hearts that are full of love and empty of hate and anger. I call you to guard your hearts and watch that they stay forever holy. You, My precious bride, I want your soul white.

Do you criticize your dear brothers? I gave the last beat of My Heart and the last drop of My blood for the soul you are displeased with. I would die for them this day. Will you not love them for Me? They are so precious to Me!

Quit sizing up your brothers. You do such unloving things in your mind. You do not even know how unloving are your thoughts. You judge your brothers by their exteriors, by their education, by their money. You do not see the beautiful creation of God the Father. He created your brothers just perfectly and He loves His creation. Who are you to criticize His creation? Love your brothers when they are hurting. It is in your loving the hurting ones that they will see the reflection of Christ in you.

Do not hold on to foolish things. One moment and your days on this earth have ended. All that remains is how you loved. Did you love God? Did you love your neighbor? Love is not selfish. It gives of itself. Its whole purpose is to draw the other closer to Jesus.

Study the crucifix. It is such a comfort! I loved you so. I died for you. I would die for you alone this very day, little ones! Look at Me dying on the cross! The way to Me is to follow Me. Be Christ-like in your ways. You must study Me to know My ways. Do not give in to yourselves. My way is love. Will you be the reflection of the love of God within you? My way is the way of the cross. They persecuted Me, they hurt Me, they tore My flesh and spit on Me. They did this to Me for My love given to all! This world is not your end. You follow My ways and you move as you should toward your goal.

I am Jesus, I am the Son of God. I love you so ardently. I died and shed My blood, My beautiful blood, for love of you. I await you this day, My little ones. I loved you so I remain with you in the Eucharist. I await, I long for you to come and share in our love. I am the tenderest of Hearts. No man can be close to you as I. I love you so. I want to dwell and live within you. I want to fill you with all My love and radiate My love to your beloved brothers. I want to shine from your souls.

Oh, little ones, take Me seriously. I am truly here, begging for you to live in My love.

You are the light that will shine in this dark world. You will light up the darkest night with My love.

The best gift you can give to this world is to busy yourself about your love affair with Me. I love you, My little ones. I love you and I want to share this love with you.

Love your brothers. Do not let Satan talk in your heads and make them wrong and you right. Love them as I have loved you. Do not look at your brothers and size them up. See them with the eyes of God, the beautiful creations of the Father.

Will you love My beloved ones for Me this day, or will you say "no" to My call? Love your brothers in darkness. They need your love. I am calling you to love them for Me this very day. They may scoff at you and persecute you, but you will plant a seed that I Myself will water and give sunlight to. Plant seeds of love. This is the most important seed you will plant, a seed of love. Watch it grow as I provide it with water and nourishment. I will shine on your brothers through you if you stay in My love. Be the light that shines on this dark world. They are crying out for the love of God. They are suffering. They need your love.

Put yourselves aside. Die to yourselves. Live only for the love of God. If the world goes one way, you stay focused on My love. Do not follow the world. Follow the risen Christ!

I love you so, little ones. I bring you new life. I fill your hearts with My love. Pray to the Holy Spirit for His gifts. Pray the Our Father. Let My mother mother you as she mothered Me. She loved you so. She suffered so for love of you. She appears to bring you back to her beloved Son. Will you answer her call? She is calling you to put God first in your life. She is calling you to love, love of God, love of one another.

Forgive your brothers. Empty your hearts of hate and anger and let go. Let all your anger go. Give Me your resentments and let Me heal your hearts. Forgiveness is the way to peace. Let go. Do not size up your brothers. Love them all. Pray for them. Unite in My love. Love is a miracle cure. Say you are sorry. Be gentle in your ways. Pray for your needs. I love you, little ones. I am with you this day.

Will you answer the call and love for Me? I love you. I am your beloved Jesus. I would die this day just for you. I love you the same as I did the day I died. Turn to Me and give Me your life. I will care for you and love you. I am your Savior. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. Let Me live in your heart! end of May 4, 1994

November 1991

R. Dear God,

I am drawn to You like steel is to
a magnet – drawn to You as being plugged
in – I must touch You – there is a
pull within my soul to You, You are
the power and I am filled up again by
You. I give You my will and my life,
plug me into You Jesus –

Jesus: Your strength and
courage comes from the Lord.
For you were hungry and I fed you –
I plugged you into My power, I took
your burdens and made your weights
light, and you walked on the path
I made ready for you. For your
strength and your courage comes from Me.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord Jesus, Father,
Son and Holy Spirit – I was empty and
alone and scared and You filled my heart
with Your love, Your fire was planted
in my heart to burn for those around
me. Grant me Your good graces that
I may not be tempted by the devil to
think of my unworthiness – my
heart is Your temple, You designed
it as a place for You to dwell and You
want to dwell there in, there is not
room in my heart for hatred and conflict
only for love of You, that is why I
place these burdens, Lord Jesus, I place
the problem with them on Your shoulders
and ask You to carry the load
for me – for I need to keep my
heart open with Your love.

In the midst of confusion You
were calm, in the midst of chaos
You knew Your way – show me Your
way in the midst of chaos, please
help me to do what You want – Take
each load and fill my heart with the
fire of Your love. I was hungry and You
gave me to eat, naked and You clothed
me. You set my feet on solid ground
and made my enemies my footstools –
You put a new song in my mouth and
taught me Your ways and I listened
and found serenity and peace and joy in
my heart. My eyes were opened and
I was no longer afraid and confused,
but knew what was Your way.

Teach me Your way that I may
show others Your truths, especially
my children that I will give to them
the truth and that I teach them about
faith in You and faith in Jesus, Your
Divine Son, Jesus. Give to me
oh Lord the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit
Wisdom, Counsel, Understanding, Fear of
the Lord, Piety, Fortitude, Knowledge.

Give me Your love, so I may love
my fellow beings with this gift. To
see in each human being Your
eyes, Jesus, and Your Heart oh Jesus
in each person. Please help me
to see each person’s specialness.

Jesus: You are My daughter
and I love you. You are special,
I want to dwell in you – I have
all the power. I give you My gift –
My light, My flame of light and
love burning in your soul. I have
all the power. You are plugged
in as to an electric plug and
you are aglow with fire
of this love.

I am your God and you shall
have no other gods before Me.
Listen to Me, pray. Talk to Me
and I will make you fishers
of men. I will warm the cold heart,
I will cast out all fear and I will
be with you forever –

R. Oh God, You are my light –
You give me courage,
You give me strength. You are Almighty.

Jesus: I will ward off all confusion,
because you will only have to ask and I
will lift your burdens and see you through.
Have faith My child – listen for My
direction, I will be with you all your days
I neither slumber or sleep. I am
awake and I live in your heart.
You need only speak to Me and
I am attentive to your call.

R. The Spirit of the Lord dwells
within me, in my heart.

Jesus: You are a temple of the
Holy Spirit – You are My temple,
I am in you. Respect and care
for yourself because this is My
temple. I will be with you
forever more. I AM IN YOU!

I will be with you that is My promise,
I will be with you forever more.

Go in the peace of harmony of
Jesus Christ.

In the midst of confusion,
be the light shining in the darkness,
be life to those who are down-hearted.
I have the power to do all things and I
am within you, so you have the
power to be My light to the world.
You are plugged into an
undying source. I am there.
I want to love, I want to give,
I want to comfort and strengthen.
I will do these things to My
brethren through you, if you
let Me. Love your family – I
have given them as gifts to
you, to love and care for. Treat
each member as a gift that
I give directly to you. I will
bless you for watching over
these little hearts. Teach them
My ways – they are children who
need to be full of My love to
have peace. Teach them love,
so they will know I live in them.
Give them a good example and
strive to be more perfected as your
Heavenly Father is perfect. Grow in
holiness. LOVE each other and be My light
to the world and I will strengthen you
and give you unending peace. My peace
is not of this world. Peace is in Me –
Ask for peace and I will give it to you.

R. This is peace, this is joy, this is love,
this intensity of knowing You are my God
and You live within me. You have chosen
to live in my imperfect self. I do not want
to leave Your presence. It is warm
inside. It is good and I am filled with love
and goodness. Thank You for this.

R. God has given us beauty on the earth.
God has given us the seasons.

R. Winter can be so beautiful, but also an
enemy if one needs things to get through.

R. Autumn comes and things can wither
and die into cold winter months.

R. Summer can be too hot if not able to get
protection when the heat is threatening.

R. Spring comes with new life and beauty,
but there can be rains.

R. The elements can be threatening like
hurricanes and tornadoes.

We learn we must observe safety, rules
of nature, demands on ourselves to live.

We are creatures of God, God created us,
He has a Plan for our lives.

When we study God’s Plan seek His
way we find He leads our way.
His ways are ordered.

He is Creator, we are creatures of the
Heavenly Father.

We were created as social beings.
God is our Father.
Mary is our Mother.

God has a Plan for our lives.

How foolish for us to try to be the boss,
without trying to live by God’s Plan,
who created us.

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

We are under God.

God loved us first.

John 3:16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

R. God the Father loved us into being.

God created us to know, love and serve
Him and love our neighbor as ourselves.

When we follow God’s Plan, His order,
things can work to help build His Kingdom
and we can have joy and suffering.
 

Today's Readings

Deuteronomy 6:2-6

And hence, if, throughout your lives, you fear Yahweh your God and keep all his laws and commandments, which I am laying down for you today, you will live long, you and your child and your grandchild. Listen then, Israel, keep and observe what will make you prosperous and numerous, as Yahweh, God of your ancestors, has promised you, in giving you a country flowing with milk and honey. 'Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one, the only Yahweh. You must love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. Let the words I enjoin on you today stay in your heart.

Psalms 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 57

Yahweh is my rock and my fortress,
my deliverer is my God.
I take refuge in him, my rock, my shield,
my saving strength, my stronghold,
my place of refuge.
I call to Yahweh who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my foes.
With Death's breakers closing in on me,
Belial's torrents ready to swallow me,

 the God who gives me vengeance,
and subjects whole peoples to me,

 

Hebrews 7:23-28

Further, the former priests were many in number, because death put an end to each one of them; but this one, because he remains for ever, has a perpetual priesthood. It follows, then, that his power to save those who come to God through him is absolute, since he lives for ever to intercede for them. Such is the high priest that met our need, holy, innocent and uncontaminated, set apart from sinners, and raised up above the heavens; he has no need to offer sacrifices every day, as the high priests do, first for their own sins and only then for those of the people; this he did once and for all by offering himself. The Law appoints high priests who are men subject to weakness; but the promise on oath, which came after the Law, appointed the Son who is made perfect for ever.
 

Mark 12:28-34

One of the scribes who had listened to them debating appreciated that Jesus had given a good answer and put a further question to him, 'Which is the first of all the commandments?' Jesus replied, 'This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one, only Lord, and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You must love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.' The scribe said to him, 'Well spoken, Master; what you have said is true, that he is one and there is no other. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself, this is far more important than any burnt offering or sacrifice.' Jesus, seeing how wisely he had spoken, said, 'You are not far from the kingdom of God.' And after that no one dared to question him any more.

 

November 2, 2024

R. God loves us when we are sinners.

We are to love all, even those sinning
and pray for them.

We stand behind what is right and true,
but we love all and pray for those not
doing what they should.

We obey God with our whole heart,
our whole soul and our whole being and
we pray for all our brothers. We pray
for all to know and love and obey God
as He commands us to do.

The world belongs to Christ, we should
feel at home in the world. The Church,
the world and the individual Christian
should be more and more in the image
of Christ.

Jesus loved us to His death on the cross.
God gave Himself while we were still
sinners.
 

           

 

        From the Spirituality Handbook by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

Mary Our Mother

    As Jesus hung upon the cross in His excruciating suffering, He gave Mary to us as our spiritual Mother:
    “…standing by the cross of Jesus were His Mother, andHis Mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clo'pas, and Mary Mag'dalene. When Jesus saw His Mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing near, He said to His Mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son!’ Then He said to the disciple, ‘Behold, your Mother!’” (Jn 19: 25-26).

    Yes, John, the disciple, represented all of us. Jesus, in giving Mary to John as His Mother, was giving her to all of
us as our spiritual Mother. We can never thank Jesus sufficiently for this great gift. Mary is your Mother and she is my Mother. Pope John Paul II tells us how Mary is Mother to each of us according to each one’s uniqueness:

    “Of the essence of motherhood is the fact that it concerns the person. Motherhood always establishes a unique and unrepeatable relationship between two people: between mother and child and between child and mother. Even when the same woman is the mother of many children, her personal relationship with each one of them is of the very essence of motherhood…
    “It can be said that motherhood ‘in the order of grace’ preserves the analogy with what ‘in the order of nature’
characterizes the union between mother and child.”3

    Let us always thank Mary that she is the Mother of each of us according to each one’s uniqueness. I can truly say that Mary is my Mother in an unrepeatable way, and you can truly say that she is your Mother in an unrepeatable way. Realizing what a great and unique love Mary has for each of us, what reason could we ever have for not always going to her? What reason could we ever have for not asking her to take us as her beloved children and to hold us close to her maternal and Immaculate Heart where we always experience the love, the warmth, the tenderness of this magnificent Mother?

R. Think of how Satan can try to press
down with one driving thought, you
may have trouble getting rid of.

It's like taking you away from your
focus. Like a distraction to what God
wants.

If a person comes and bangs a drum
near your ear and is relentless and
won’t give up -
You may have a big problem hearing
the still small voice of the Holy Spirit.
Satan is big and noisy, relentless.

Think of Jesus knowing all the sins of
the whole human race, in the Garden.
And for love of us, love of His Father,
He did the Father’s will, to his death
on the cross!!!!!

Pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Focus on love.

Cast the devil out.

 

May 14, 2024

R. Dear Holy Spirit come to me, possess
my soul, I love You, Holy Spirit.
When I am weak, I am strong in You.
Outpour Your precious love to me. Amen.
I love You, God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Dear Holy Spirit infuse in my intellect
wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Counsel me Holy Spirit from the mind of
God.

Help me, dear Holy Spirit to know the loving
embrace of God all the days of my life.
I turn to You. Amen.

When I find doing God's desire for my life
difficult give me the gift of fortitude, dear
Holy Spirit.
Sanctify my heart to act purely for the
honor and glory of God.
I may be willing, but I need Your gift to
give me courage to act as You desire.
Help me to know and love the heavenly
Father's will for me and to do it in love
for the honor and glory of God.

Help me to always put God first in my life,
in love for God in my heart.
Help me to walk realizing, I am the creature,
God is the Creator.

Help me to be patient and strong and
persevere in my life until I rest with Thee
forever in heaven.

Please Holy Spirit give me the gift of fear
of God that I do not offend you in sins
of unloving ways against God.
You are so good and deserving of all my
love.
I worship You and love You -
Help my interior disposition at Mass to be
that of purity in pleasing the Heavenly
Father, in my offering united to Jesus in
the Mass.
Dear Holy Spirit please help me in the gift
of piety to do that which pleases my Heavenly
Father with the tenderness as His little child.
Thank you God for all You give to me.
I pray this "All for the honor and Glory of
God". Amen.
 

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.

Alleluia.

Begins March 11, 2024 - March 19, 2024

Dear Saint Joseph,

I turn to you, you who cared and
protected the child Jesus and the
Virgin Mary.
You taught men and women, the
love of God by your example in life,
and by your faithfulness of living
your calling in greatest commitment
and love.

You loved Mary and Jesus with the
most gentle, bonds of love.

You showed us how you
lived in loving conformity to the
Heavenly Father's will.

You guided Jesus and Mary's precious
lives with the Holy Spirit, Spouse of
the Virgin Mother of God.

Protect us and our family this day and
every day of our lives, like
you did the Holy Family of Nazareth.
We seek your powerful intercession.

How intimately you knew and loved
Jesus and Mary. You were so close to
them. You showed us love.

Your heart was pure and gentle and
yet you were strong in being their
manly protector on earth, intercede
for us to depend more and more on
God for all our needs, for when we
are weak we are strong in God.

St. Joseph please intercede for a
peaceful and holy death for us and
our sick loved ones.
Amen.

St. Joseph help us now in this nine
day novena to you.
Amen.

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1. Luke 24: 1-12

On the first day of the week, at the first sign of dawn, they went to the tomb with the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, but on entering they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled about this, two men in brilliant clothes suddenly appeared at their side. Terrified, the women bowed their heads to the ground. But the two said to them, ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here; he has risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee: that the Son of man was destined to be handed over into the power of sinful men and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.’ And they remembered his words.

And they returned from the tomb and told all this to the Eleven and to all the others. The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. And the other women with them also told the apostles, but this story of theirs seemed pure nonsense, and they did not believe them.

Peter, however, went off to the tomb, running. He bent down and looked in and saw the linen cloths but nothing else; he then went back home, amazed at what had happened.

2. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

3. Jesus rose as He foretold.
4. Jesus came forth from the tomb.
5. What joy for the Apostles.
6. Jesus’ wounds were glorified.
7. Jesus came in magnificent light.
8. We were created in love by God the Father.
9. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
10. Sing: I Am the Bread of Life

 

The Ascension

1. Acts 1: 6-9

Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.

2. Jesus ascended into heaven.
3. Jesus went to prepare a place for us.
4. In Baptism we receive a sharing in Divine life.
5. We live the life, death, and resurrection of
    Jesus in our lives.
6. God has a plan for our lives.
7. God’s Plan for our lives is uncomplicated.
8. We live the Pascal Mystery of Death /
    Resurrection.
9. The world belongs to Christ.
10. We should feel at home in the world.

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles.

1. Acts 2: 1-4

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. 

2. The Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles in
    tongues of fire.
3. Sing: Come Holy Ghost
4. The Holy Spirit’s presence was miraculously
    manifested through the appearance of tongues
    of fire.

5. From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts

Come Holy Spirit, come, come into our hearts, inflame all people with the fire of Your love.

Leader: Send forth Your Spirit and all will be reborn.
All:  And You will renew the face of the earth.

We pray for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, we ask for perfection in our souls to make us holy, holy souls likened to God.

Dear Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You soul and body. We ask You to give us the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.

6. The Holy Spirit is present to mold us more and
    more in the image of Jesus.
7. The Holy Spirit helps us to be vibrant and alive.
8. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
9. Do we remain closed to the Spirit out of fear?
10. Open wide your hearts to God: Father, Son
    and Holy Spirit.

 

The Assumption

1. Mary was taken body and soul into heaven.
2. Mary is our spiritual Mother.
3. Mary takes us to Jesus.
4. When Jesus was dying on the cross, He
    gave us His Mother.
5. God has a Plan for our lives.
6. God created us, He is Creator, we are creatures.

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

The Riches of the Immaculate Heart

Prayer: Mary, draw me each day more deeply within your Heart, so that each day you can place me more deeply within Jesus’ Heart!

8. Mary: “My beloved priest-son, how often I have pressed you to my maternal and Immaculate Heart in the greatest love! How often I allow you to taste the sweetness of this Heart. How often I make you aware that my Heart is your refuge where you feel so much loved, where you feel so secure, where you feel bathed in peace! I desire that you tell all the people about the riches contained in my Immaculate Heart. Tell my people to come to my Heart each day. I will caress them with my maternal love. I will lead them ever closer to the Sacred Heart of my Son. I will tell them to listen to Jesus. I will remind them that He is their Lord and Master. I will remind them to do whatever He tells them to do.
“Yes, my dearly beloved son, tell my people all these things. Keep reminding them of my great love for them. Keep reminding them how I love to draw them to my maternal and Immaculate Heart!”

9. Sing: Immaculate Mary

10. Reflection: Is there anyone who, listening to these words of Mary, does not long for a closer union with the loving Heart of our Mother?

 

The Queenship of Mary

1. 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.

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

Children of Mary

Mary: “My beloved priest-son, how often I have embraced you! How often I have told you how much I love you! How often, at your request, I have held you in my arms as my child. You have told me you realize how helpless you are of yourself, but how strong and secure you feel dwelling in my heart and Jesus’ Heart. Your sense of your littleness and helplessness endears you to me all the more. I take you ever more securely to my maternal and Immaculate Heart. Tell all my people of the riches you have found within my heart. Tell them how I place you within my Son’s Heart. Tell them that, because of my motherly action, you are now more closely united with Jesus than ever before. Tell my people to come to my heart and draw forth similar riches. Tell all my little ones that Jesus, Who is Lord and Master, bids me to lead all to His Sacred Heart. The more my little ones dwell within my Immaculate Heart, the more I place them within Jesus’ Heart. Oh, how I love all my little ones! How I love to bring them to the Heart of Jesus!”

3. Reflection: Again, let us remind ourselves that we live in the Age of the Two Hearts. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are inseparable. The more we dwell in Mary’s heart, the more she places us within Jesus’ Heart. Within these Two Hearts, the Holy Spirit fashions us more and more in the likeness of Christ, and the more we become like Christ, the more closely He unites us to the Father.

4. Prayer: Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in You.

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

Mary, Model and Teacher of Love

Mary: “My beloved priest-son, I have led you to greatly increase your prayers and sacrifices for others. I have often reminded you of my teaching at Fatima—that many souls go to Hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them. My Immaculate Heart longs that all my little ones be saved. Tell my little ones that they must love their neighbor through prayer, sacrifices, and other ways, too. All should learn from me. My Heart is symbol, not only of my great love for God, but also of my tender love for all my little ones. Imitate my love for God and all my children. If you love Jesus and me, this means you also love all of God’s children. Jesus died for all. You cannot exclude anyone from your love.

“My Heart is the perfect imitator of the Heart of my Son. I will teach you how to love the Father and all mankind after the example of Jesus. All my little ones, I long for you to come to my Heart so I can teach you the ways of love! I love you so much! Come to my Immaculate Heart. Pressed against my Heart, I will hold you in my arms. I will clothe you with my motherly and protective mantle. As I hold you close to my Heart, I will teach you the ways of love!”

6. Reflection: In the above message, our dear mother tenderly reminds us that the following of Jesus is summed up in love of God and neighbor.

7. Prayer: Mary, in your great love for us, teach us the ways of love. Help us to surrender more and more to your Immaculate Heart, so that you can lead us to an ever closer union with the Heart of Jesus, the source of our being able to love.

8. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

but he has answered me, 'My grace is enough for you: for power is at full stretch in weakness.' It is, then, about my weaknesses that I am happiest of all to boast, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me; and that is why I am glad of weaknesses, insults, constraints, persecutions and distress for Christ's sake. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.

9. Sing: Hail Holy Queen

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

Mary as Our Mediatrix

Mary: “My beloved priest-son, I have given you a profound conviction of how necessary it is to realize I am your motherly mediatrix with Jesus. I have been appointed by the Triune God. Constantly remind all my little ones of this great truth! The more my little ones give themselves to my maternal and Immaculate Heart, the more I bring them to the Heart of Jesus!”

Reflection: Some mistakenly think that Mary “gets in the way” of their relationship with Jesus. How far from the truth is this erroneous attitude. Mary’s role in oursalvation has been willed by God. Enough said!

Prayer: Lord, give us a deeper realization of Mary’s motherly mediation. In Your great love for us, You gave Mary to us as our mother as You hung upon the cross. Give us the grace to entrust ourselves to Mary’s maternal love every day, all day. We ask You to take this petition to Your Heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit.

		Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012) $ 10.00 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 Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year $ 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
