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.

 

                    Morning Offering

    Dear Father,
    I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus
    in the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through
    the powerful intercession of Mary, our
    spiritual Mother, with all the angels and
    saints, and the souls in purgatory, for
    the priest, the Church, and the world.

    We love You God so much.
    We thank You and adore You and
    petition You for our needs. Amen.

Love Letters

R. And so He, my Jesus, sent me there that July 17, 1993, to deliver a message of His love. Love letters from His Sacred Heart to His beloved souls.

I went to Holy Spirit Center (old seminary) July 17, 1993 - was sent there to talk to Fr. Smith. Saw a vision of Mary at home in the dining room. Fr. Smith told me messages needed to be published.

My Hand is in Your Life

     Jesus: I am your God and I am with you. Let go and let Me run your life. I am with you now in your confusion and your doubt. I will be by your side to guide you in all that you do. Be attentive to all that I tell you. Listen to My words. Do not discount anything that you hear. I am guarding your life and watching out for you. Soak in My presence. Know My hand is in everything you do. I am Jesus, your loving God and I love you so much. Do you believe, My child, that I will really watch out for you? Concentrate on My love for you, soak in My presence, see My face. My hand is in your life; you must know that in your heart. I love you.

     I am truly this close to you. What you feel is My presence. From this day forward, put doubts away and confidence must abide in your heart. This is very offensive to Me after all I have written to you. Believe - you are My precious child. Believe and enjoy the love of the One, True God. A Heart on fire with love for each of you, My Heart is ablaze with infinite love and it is endless. Know that all power comes from Me and I am by your side, watching, guarding and loving you. Oh, why do you doubt Me and look for assurance in these earthly people and possessions? Listen to Me; I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. All life comes from Me, through Me, with Me and in Me. You must turn all your cares to Me and be focused on My Might.

     You know this, throw your doubts out the window, focus on Me: My words, My voice, My presence, My truth, the will of My Father, and Love! All these lead to the peace and joy of the heart, all else leads you away from Me and is therefore to your detriment. My ways are right. I am The Way, The Truth and The Life. Anything that leads you away from Me is not for you to follow. My paths are direct and sure. Open your heart up to let Me light your way. Take the blinders from your eyes. What good does it do a blind man to walk the wrong road - he goes nowhere that leads him anywhere. He must follow the right path or he is lost. You do not want to be a lost child - take the blinders off your eyes, follow only My path, open your heart and let Me lead the way. You don’t want to be lost. I lead you down the right path to everlasting life. You will never lose your way if you open yourself up to Me and surrender to all that I have planned for you.

     I am God, of Jacob, Joseph, Abraham and all your Fathers. Those who follow Me are now enjoying the rewards I promised them.

R. Jesus, You are so beautiful.
We were created in Your image and likeness.

Since Lent started I have grown closer to
the Persons of the Trinity.

I grow ever more, learning how important
is the will of my Father.
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwell in
my graced, baptized soul.

What a gift to love them more and more.

I know the Holy Spirit is working in my life,
forming me more and more in the image of
Jesus in co-operation with Mary, my Mother.

The more I am in the image of Jesus, it
pleases my Heavenly Father.

I love, more than I ever did before, the
mysteries of light.

The mystery of Christ's life lives more
abundantly in me.

We live the life, death and resurrection of
Jesus in our lives.

Every day is a day to be more like Jesus.

The Holy Spirit gently moves in our lives.

We are open to His touch

We love more deeply, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit every minute every day.

God never leaves us, God dwells in our graced,
baptized soul

I unite as deeply as possible to the Mass at
every moment, interceding through the
powerful intercession of Mary for the priest,
the Church and the world, and all my needs.
I know how powerful it is to pray this way,
and I do all day.

I am confident and unafraid, because He
dwells in me and operates through me.

I can say with Saint Paul: “I have been
crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who
ive, but he who lives in me.

I love God, so much. God in me.
I know the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit
n my soul.
I am confident and unafraid.
Even in the deepest suffering,
Come to me Lord and possess my soul.

Freedom is in this.

This is freedom of spirit,
Doing what the Father wants, living in love
in Him.

The devil‘s grip is paralyzing and crippling.
The devil wants to enslave the soul.
The devil is hate.

Devil brings darkness when we give it to him.

Hating others is really hating ourselves,
Father Carter said.

God fills us with love.

Sin hurts us.

 

December 12, 2024 - Lady of Gaudalupe

I just know more than ever how important
it is to please our heavenly Father.
Our life is to be lived for this.
Being one with Jesus, pleases our Father.
Uniting to the Mass pleases our Father.
Being a child of Mary, pleases our Father,
loving her very much,
praying through her powerful intercession,
praying the rosary pleases our Father.

Come to me, Lord and possess my soul.

Heavenly Father I come to do Your will.
I want to please you my Father.

Can you imagine the joy of Jesus living the
public life after He lived the quiet life for
30 years?
He was among the people He loved so much.
I just cannot imagine His joy at married to
Cana and all that meant, that tremendous
miracle.

So much we do not even realize but what we
see is magnificent.

Jesus must have been so happy with the people
He loved and came to save, so happy.
These are the mysteries of light.
They make me so happy because I know so
little and want to know more, like, I was there.

It says this in the Magnificat.

“The Lord has cast down the mighty from
their thrones and lifted up the lowly.”

God has cast down - sounds pretty strong.

He lifts up the lowly.

Be humble and docile of heart -

Docile, like a child.
Putty in God’s hands.

God will never be outdone in generosity.

Today is a beautiful gift!!!

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message

 

R. Remember the wedding of Cana,

Mary’s powerful intercession.

Pray united to the Mass, through the powerful
intercession of Mary always.

Mary, Our Mother,
Feast of Our Lady of Gaudalupe December 12, 2024

R. Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All!
How can I love You, as I should?

I am Yours Lord, I want to have my life in
You.

Fr. Carter said:
When we hate others, we are really hating
ourselves.

God commands us to love, why would we
then hate and hurt others?

Fr. Carter says, when we don’t do God’s
will we alinate ourselves from being closer
to God.

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.

Novena to St. Joseph, Patron and Father (2024)

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.
