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.

Jesus: I showed you My
Heart
32 years ago in All Saints
Church.December 17, 1991
Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.
His Burning Heart
R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.
I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:
"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love." end of writing
Jesus: I am Jesus, I love you
with burning Love.
R. The Mass is so powerful.
The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally
made present.
Jesus died and paid for our
sins so we could have "new
life".Thank You God, we thank
God for the priests.
Fr. Carter says:
February 18, 2000
…“again, he teaches us many lessons from this, one of them certainly is, where does true greatness lie? It doesn’t lie in the things which are outside of you, the things which, surround you, it lies within your very depths.”
Fr. Carter continues: “I think all of you here at China give a great witness to life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Nazareth, and to the birthplace of Jesus, in Bethlehem. your life is so simple. It is so hidden, and yet like the life of Jesus at Nazareth, it is meant to be redemptive.
His life certainly was redemptive those first 33 years of his existence. And I think, I said, in a homily to you, some months ago, that, if we had it to plan, we certainly would have arranged, I’m sure all of us, Jesus' life here on earth differently .
“So glory in your existence, here at China, in its hiddenness and ask for the faith to realize more and more the great good you are doing for the movement and the Church and the world.”
…“so your life, here at China, is in such great imitation of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Nazareth and such great Saints as Saint Teresa of Lisieux those saints, who lived such a hidden existence.
So first of all, I thank you for your persevering in this life. How great your life is here at China for the cause of Christ.”
From our founder on a weekday. From Fr. Carter, SJ
November 26, 2023R. God has called us in our
vocation in a special way to
help Christianize the world.
We are called in reaching
out according to God’s will
in helping souls to go to
heaven and in so doing to
help ourselves to attain
eternal salvation.

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
1. Luke 22: 39-46The Mount of Olives
He then left to make his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, with the disciples following. When he reached the place he said to them, ‘Pray not to be put to the test.’
Then he withdrew from them, about a stone’s throw away, and knelt down and prayed. ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’ Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength. In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. When he rose from prayer he went to the disciples and found them sleeping for sheer grief. And he said to them, ‘Why are you asleep? Get up and pray not to be put to the test.’
2. Jesus took Peter, James
and John in the Garden.
3. Can you imagine the
contrast with a short time
before when Jesus took
them up Mt. Tabor for the
Transfiguration?
4. Jesus saw before Him all
the sins of the world in
His Divine knowing.
5. Can you imagine His
suffering from seeing such
sins, especially sins of
those He loved so much?
6. Jesus saw the pride and
stubbornness of some to
put sin before God.
7. Jesus knew the awfulness
of all these sins and in His
love He was willing to pay
for these sins.
8. We can go to God and ask
to be forgiven for hideous
sins!!!! God loves us so
much!!!
9. Oh my God, I am hearty
sorry for having offended
You with my sins, please
forgive me.
10. I spread the Blood of
Jesus on me now and
everyone I touch, I ask for
the Holy Spirit to come, I
cast the devil into hell and
consecrate the Hearts of all
those around me to Jesus
and Mary as far as I am
able. Amen.
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. Luke 23: 15-19, 22...As you can see, the man has done nothing that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.' But as one man they howled, 'Away with him! Give us Barabbas!' (This man had been thrown into prison because of a riot in the city and murder.)
And for the third time he spoke to them, 'But what harm has this man done? I have found no case against him that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.'
2. When we follow Jesus,
we move ahead, even in
suffering!
3. Oh my Jesus, I see you at
the pillar, the dim light does
not block the hideousness
of the beating these men
gave You, the Son of God.
Please forgive me, I am
blind in offending You who
are all worthy of my love.
4. Our brothers come in the
beggar, the one who we
might reject. Do we see
Christ in those He sends to
us in our lives?
5. Are our hearts open to
them, created in the image
and likeness of God.
6. Oh Jesus help me to be
as You want me to be. Help
me to stop inordinate
attachments that are sinful.
7. Jesus endured such
humiliation for our sins,
We pray for the virtue of
humility.
8. Jesus was literally whipped,
torn in His body for our
selfish sins.
9. Jesus: Be strong, fight
the temptations of the devil,
pray for grace, don't give
into devil.
10. Jesus: Be strong fight off
temptation. Be not afraid of
those that can harm the
body, but cannot touch the
soul. I am guarding your
steps.
The Crowning with Thorns
1. Matthew 27: 27-31Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.
2. Jesus: Move ahead, even
in suffering, don't give
into Satan.
3. Jesus: They pounded and
pounded My head with
thorns. After wearing the
crown of thorns and
pounding My head with this,
they hit My head repeatedly
with the crown on My head
to hurt Me terribly.
4. Jesus: Their intent was to
torture Me as much as they
could.
5. Jesus: Malice of intent,
are your hearts filled with
retaliation for your unloving
hateful ways?
6. Jesus: Pray to be cleansed
of terrible sins of the flesh,
sins of pride and anger and
jealousy, envy, slothfulness,
lust and gluttony.
7. Jesus: Change you negative,
dark thinking - you have
a free will.
8. Jesus: Say: Come to me
Lord and possess my soul.
9. Jesus: Come into my heart
God, please forgive me, I
am a sinner.
10. Jesus: I came to teach
you love and obedience to
God's will.
Learn from Me, I am kind
and gentle in heart.
The Carrying of the Cross
1. Luke 23:26-31As they were leading him away they seized on a man, Simon from Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and made him shoulder the cross and carry it behind Jesus. Large numbers of people followed him, and women too, who mourned and lamented for him. But Jesus turned to them and said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep rather for yourselves and for your children. For look, the days are surely coming when people will say, "Blessed are those who are barren, the wombs that have never borne children, the breasts that have never suckled!" Then they will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!"; to the hills, "Cover us!" For if this is what is done to green wood, what will be done when the wood is dry?'
2. Jesus: I carried the heavy
cross, laden with the sins of
men.
3. Jesus: I am the Light of
the world. I love you so
much.
4. Jesus: I thirst for precious
souls, I love the souls. I
died for your souls.
5. Jesus: Bring Me souls,
Bring me souls.
6. Jesus: Say the Our Father
very slow and take each
word into your heart.
7. Jesus: I fell under the cross
3 times.I did not give up.
I endured this for you, My
precious soul.
I love you so much.
8. Jesus: I fell and they
poked Me, kicking Me while
I was down to get up.
9. Jesus: You are precious to
Me, My beloved soul.
I endured the bitter passion
for your sins.
10. Jesus: When you sin ask for
forgiveness and mercy.
Keep moving ahead, even in
suffering.
The Crucifixion
1. Mark 15: 24-38Then they crucified him, and shared out his clothing, casting lots to decide what each should get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The inscription giving the charge against him read, ‘The King of the Jews’. And they crucified two bandits with him, one on his right and one on his left.
The passers–by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, ‘Aha! So you would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days! Then save yourself; come down from the cross!’ The chief priests and the scribes mocked him among themselves in the same way with the words, ‘He saved others, he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, for us to see it and believe.’ Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.
When the sixth hour came there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of those who stood by heard this, they said, ‘Listen, he is calling on Elijah.’ Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar and, putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink saying, ‘Wait! And see if Elijah will come to take him down.’ But Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
2. Jesus gave us
Himself.
Jesus is the Son of God.
Sin offends God, retribution
must be made to God.
3. The Mass is the sacrifice
of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.
4. In the Mass we unite to
Jesus.
5. Jesus shed the last drop
of His Blood and gave the
last beat of His Heart, for
us!
6. Do you realize the intimacy
Jesus gives us, giving
Himself to us in the
reception of the Holy
Eucharist.
7. Jesus is truly present,
Body, Blood, Soul and
Divinity in the Holy
Eucharist.
8. Prayer of St Ignatius
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the wicked foe defend me
at the hour of my death call me
and bid me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
For ever and ever. Amen.
9. A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

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 |
