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. Peace.

Jesus says My peace I give to you.

God comes in peace. 

Satan is chaos, confusion,
Jerky,
Noisy.

In today’s world we need to pray to experience this peace.

We need to be alone with Him.
St. Augustine says peace is the tranquility of order.

God has established order.
God must be first.
When this order is ignored, trouble ensues.

Discord ensures.
Disharmony, and disunity, is lack of peace.
We can see turmoil and suffering when one person just keeps stirring things up, acting abruptly.

We can have lack of peace from not living according to God’s will.

We will have at least peace below the surface, even in turmoil when we have assimilated God’s will into our life.
This peace brings unity.

God tells us we are to love God and neighbor.
God gives us His life-plan of love.

God must be first in our lives
    to have real peace.

When we live by God’s will in love we experience the peace God came to give.

The Resurrection

1. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

...the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice.

...I have come
so that they may have life
and have it to the full.
I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
   for his sheep.

I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,

3. Jesus died a brutal death.

The Ascension

1. Luke 24: 46-53

and he said to them, ‘So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that, in his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses to this.

    ‘And now I am sending upon you what the Father has promised. Stay in the city, then, until you are clothed with the power from on high.’

Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.

2. Matthew 28: 20

and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.’

    His gift -- God help us
    to always be open to Jesus.

7. 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

8. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

9. Prayer to the Father - May 16, 1998

My Father,

        With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.

        It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.

        My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.

        And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.

        I beg You Father for mercy.

        I beg You Father for assistance.

        I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.

        Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins. 

        Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men. 

        Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne. 

        We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.

        We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia

10. Sing: I Love You Jesus

   
 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary

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 Sing: Come Holy Ghost

3. Sing: Come Holy Spirit
  

4.
 

5. God is all powerful.

    God has made us so many promises.

6.

Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart: 

    1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
    2. I will establish peace in their homes.
    3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
    4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.
    5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.
    6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
    7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
    8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
    9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
    10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
    11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
    12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.
 

Say Thank You Jesus

7. Turn to Jesus, turn
    away from things not
    of Him.

8. Romans 8: 6

And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace,

9. Ephesians 6: 18

In all your prayer and entreaty keep praying in the Spirit on every possible occasion. Never get tired of staying awake to pray for all God’s holy people,

10. 1 Corinthians 14: 1

Make love your aim; but be eager, too, for spiritual gifts, and especially for prophesying.

8. Revelation 11: 19

Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened, and the ark of the covenant could be seen inside it. Then came flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and an earthquake and violent hail.

9. Revelation 12: 1-6

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. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.

10. Mary carried Jesus in her womb.

 

Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth

1. Sing: Hail Holy Queen

2. Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.
 

3. 1 Corinthians 15: 20-27

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him.
  

4. From the Mass Book - October 3, 1995

MARY'S SACRED WOMB

Written after Mass:

I realized that as Christ was carried in the womb of Mary, He is in me now. The word "in": the depth with which He unites to us lays me away. The word "in" - we "in" Him and He in us. Who am I that God comes to me and gives Himself to me?

I envision the womb of Mary, with such a brilliant light, holding and forming the Son of God. I behold Mary's womb as so sacred, for it is within her that He lived.

I am awe struck that the Son of God enters me. I am so unworthy that He comes to me. I see so clearly her womb with such light and holiness.

I am so blessed, beyond words, to the point of tears, that He, the Son of God, comes to me and is in me now.

In us, one with us! So unworthy am I, so wretched in my ways, and so far from holiness that He should come and dwell in me and unite in this deep union with me. I love Him so much!
 

5. Sing: The Rosary Song

 

6. From the Prayer Manual

Act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.
 

7. From the Mass Book - October 18, 1995

MARY'S HEART SHOULD BE
VENERATED NEXT TO JESUS' HEART

He wants His Heart venerated next to Mary's heart.

This shows us how much He loves human persons. His Mother is a human person and He holds His Mother's heart next to His Heart. To not recognize Mary is to not see the great dignity and honor He gives to human persons.

To recognize God's relationship with Mary and the great dignity and honor He gives to her is to recognize His love for His creatures. He raises us to such heights, and He loves us dearly.

He wants His Heart venerated next to Mary - He wants us to dwell in Their Hearts.

Who are we, so unworthy, little specks, that He gives us such dignity and honor!

By recognizing Mary and His relationship with her, we are elevated to such heights for she is the highest human person and our Mother. She is the pure one, the sinless one, by dwelling in her heart we can go to the Heart of her Son. We are sinners, how do we, in our sinfulness, go to the depth of the Heart of Christ. We go through the pure and sinless heart of His Mother.

God chose a woman, a human person, to be Jesus' Mother. He was incarnate in a human person. Divinity joins with humanity in the womb of Mary, a human person. Mary is espoused to the Holy Spirit, she (a human person) becomes the spouse of the Holy Spirit (a Divine Person). He raises a human person to such heights, far beyond our comprehension. This is the love He has for His creatures. There must be such love between the priest and Mary.

The devil has tried to divide us from our Mother.

She appeared at Fatima. She wants us to make reparation to her Immaculate Heart. She appears with her heart in her hand. God, in His great goodness and love, creates creatures. Adam and Eve sinned. He loves His creatures so much that He sent His only Son. He elevates Mary to such heights. She is espoused to a Divine Person - the Holy Spirit. She becomes the Mother of God. Jesus is formed in her womb. She is a virgin espoused to God, and she is treated with disrespect, dishonor, and made fun of. She is the highest human person! It is in her womb that Divinity and humanity meet - that the Son of God is formed in His human nature.

He gives to her the role of Mediatrix of all graces. He loves Mary so much.

To not recognize Mary, to not honor her, is to not recognize this great gift God has given to His creatures.

To not recognize Mary is to miss how God joins so deeply to humanity in Mary.

She is the woman clothed in the sun, the moon under here feet and 12 stars about her head.

She, the Lady of Light, the Mother of the children of light, crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth - the darkness is under her feet. She is the highest human person.

To not recognize her is to not see our own dignity and honor as loved ones of God.

The devil knows this - he has engaged a war to separate us from God.

We are joined to God in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary is espoused to the Holy Spirit, created without sin, and the Mother of God.
 

8. From the Mass Book - November 26, 1995

I AM A BABY AT THE BREAST OF MY MOTHER

I am realizing how starved my soul is. I am really hungry right now for Him, but I can't seem to get close as I want.

Will you baby me, Mary, like you babied Jesus? All I want is to be loved like a little baby and give this love to others. My maturity depends on my suckling at the breast of my heavenly Mother as the graces of His life flow from her to me, and I mature more and more in His life.

I am but a baby suckling at the breast of my Mother as His life flows through her to me.

There are seven sorrows of Mary and seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are released in the spiritual womb of our Mother.

God gives graces. He keeps giving, and we are afraid He will get too close, so we push Him away.

Many times we push away those who give us love, afraid they will get too close.
 

9. From the Mass Book - November 26, 1995

MARY IS THE MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACE

The Mass is a love story. He gives Himself as a sacrifice for me. I unite to Him in deepest love in Communion.

I love You, Jesus. I love You, Jesus. I love You, Jesus. The Word became man. I receive Jesus in the Eucharist, and I carry Him in my body, no less present than when He was carried by Mary in her womb.

Jesus and Mary's Hearts beat together in Mary's body. There was such intimacy from the beginning. Think of it, two Hearts beating within one body. There are seven sorrows, seven Sacraments, seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace. I nurse at her breast and receive His life. The Sacred Heart was formed in the womb of Mary, through the Holy Spirit. I am being molded into the image and likeness of Mary through the Holy Spirit. There is such intimacy between Jesus and Mary.

Pray through Mary's heart. Love through Mary's heart. Jesus put on a little, human, baby body. Mary is the highest human person. Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to Mary's heart. This tells us how much He loves Mary. God truly loves us. See Jesus a little baby born among sheep. He is Chief Shepherd of the flock. Life comes through Mary to the Christ Child. Life flows through her into the Church. God comes. He is not too mighty to be born among lambs.

He was the innocent lamb led to the slaughter. He loves all His creatures. He comes especially for the lowly. Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem. Joseph knocked on the door; he was rejected. We go from door to door, knocking on hearts; we are rejected. Mary is the link between heaven and earth.
 

10. From the Mass Book - December 8, 1995

FORMED IN THE WOMB OF MARY

In order to grow more deeply in my love of Christ, I must unite to the heart of Mary. As Christ was formed in the womb of Mary, we are constantly being formed in her heart through the action of the Holy Spirit, she is a Spiritual Mother. I am constantly being formed in her heart through the action of the Holy Spirit.

Divinity and humanity meet in the womb of Mary. She carried the Christ Child under her heart. The union of the two Hearts began when the Holy Spirit came upon her. She was filled with grace. To house the God-made-Man, she must be full of grace.

Do you ponder on our own graced soul? Do we think of our graced soul after reception of the Eucharist?
