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.

27 Years Ago

December 22, 1996

Jesus: Brace yourselves in the Shepherds of Christ. You want to be Christ-like. Is this the true desire in your heart or is it just words like the other words you give to Me?

Brace yourselves. I will lead the way with My rod and My staff, but you must be strong to follow for the way is rocky and the rocks are sharp. They cut through to the soul. They cut through to your heart.

You will be brought to your knees, you will beg for Me, you will be molded and helped with in the abundant grace flowing from My Heart. My little shepherd, so willful and so stupid in your ways, but I love you just the same to My death, child. I love you and you do not see that all I give to you is for your good.

I am not angry with you, My messenger. You must suffer now to write My messages for the world. How could you write had you not experienced My pain in your soul? You are My hand, that I am using to write the messages of My Heart for the world. My Heart was crowned with thorns. So, too, will your heart be pierced and wanting to bleed. Bleed, little heart, My Heart bled for you.

And the moon will be covered with blood. It was the blood of the Lamb and it poured forth on a sinful world to cleanse them of their sin, and I give you My Body and Blood in the Mass and I am ignored.

He slapped their hands and He smite their cheeks and they laughed in their pain and continued their willful ways. But the day of reckoning is at hand and I will separate the sheep from the goats and the sheep I will take home with Me. The goats will know a day as they never knew before for My justice will prevail.

When I warned they would not turn from their evil ways and I could not reach them. They walked as blind men down the path of destruction and who would have thought that the end of the road was so near. And at the end of the road they continued to walk for in the darkness they could not see and they fell into an everlasting pit of doom and suffering.

Justice will prevail. I am a good God. Justice and truth will kiss. When I gave to them My warning they said, "Oh no, Lord," and continued their sinful ways.

The time is at hand. My efforts and yours were in vain. I will wipe their sick smiles from their evil mouths and they will suffer forever the death of the soul.

I will not have mercy on these hard-necked cowards who thought, in their pride, they could smite Me. I will throw the book at them and they will suffer for their sinful ways.

Woe to them who led My children astray. Woe to them. They will burn the eternal death of intense suffering for the murder of My young. And who will help them then? They will know a death beyond all deaths and suffering beyond all suffering. For a few moments of pleasure, they lost their souls forever.

I am a just and merciful God. I give water to quench your thirst, I bathe you in My divine love, but to the evil doers, I will curse their name and wipe them from the face of the earth. I have spoken. Justice will prevail. My hand is struck with power. The senseless ones will know My might.

Who will you call? You said 'no' to God and He struck you for your sinful ways.

All honor and glory be to God for He has visited His people and they cast Him aside. I will light the earth with My love and the dark hearts will curse the night for they will be no more.

And justice will flourish in His time and fullness of peace forever.

I have spoken. The deaf will not hear. My hand is the hand of God and it is struck with power.

I say to the grass to grow and it grows, to the sun to shine and it shines and to you I say, "Be ready for you know not the day nor the hour. I come as a thief in the night to take your soul home to Me. Will you be ready or will you be caught unprepared?"

Prepare ye a way to the Lord. Make ready His steps, My shepherds. I guard you but you will suffer. You must be strong and not caught off guard.

Purify your souls for I am coming and the earth will know My light this Christmas for I will shine in the hearts of the just. I will shine on My shepherds this Christmas. My light will shine in the hearts of those consecrated to My Heart and the heart of My Mother.

Alleluia, a King is born this day. Put aside your silly ways, your bows and tinsel, and praise God. He is in your midst. He reigns this day. You are ignoring the King of Glory. Oh, sinful world, you are in for a weird awakening.

And the light stole across the sky and the light of day shown brighter than seven suns, not to the eye but in the hearts of His faithful ones, the hearts consecrated to God.

  

Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in Garden

1. Matthew 26: 36-46

Then Jesus came with them to a plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, 'Stay here while I go over there to pray.' He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish. Then he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.' And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. 'My Father,' he said, 'if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.' He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.' Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: 'My Father,' he said, 'if this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, your will be done!' And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy. Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words. Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest. Look, the hour has come when the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.'

 

From 1997 Rosaries

2. R. Let us go deeply within ourselves and to try to focus totally on our heart. Let us go to the inner chamber of the Heart of Christ. See the red, the interior of His Heart. Feel the warmth and know that it is there, that we’re abundantly loved and we are protected by God Himself. No matter how the wind blows, or what may seem to be bothering us, in our lives, that this really is our refuge.

3. R. And how can I, a sinner, go deeply into the Heart of Christ? For in order to unite to God, I must be pure. And this is the great gift that God gives to us by giving us Mary and her Immaculate Heart. For as we give ourselves to Mary and we dwell in her heart then we can unite in Jesus’ Heart because Mary is all pure. And so in this rosary, we give our heart to Mary and we give our heart to Jesus. And we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary as we walk the passion.

4. R. How is it when we feel panicky? How does it feel when it seems like everything is going wrong on the outside. How does it feel? It doesn’t feel good. But there is this place within, always within, when we have given our heart to Jesus and Mary and we are in the state of grace, no matter what we think. God is there if we call on Him. If we tell God that we are sorry, we can go to the heart of Mary and we can dwell deeply within the Heart of Jesus. This is such a great gift. So our life may seem confused on the outside and the money problems may be strong, the children are angry, some of them do not go to church. So many things press down each and every day. But in the moments of the silence, we can go within ourselves. We can give ourselves to Mary and no matter how we think that we have wronged others or what we have done, God is there waiting to forgive us. We go to her Immaculate Heart, we can go deeply into the Heart of Christ. This is the great gift that we are given on this earth for how in our sinfulness could we unite to God? ... But our little Heaven here on earth is dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary no matter where I am, I can always go to Their Hearts. Let go of all of the cares and surrender and take refuge within His Heart.

5. Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

6. R. And we see Jesus in the garden. We see Him in such anguish. Be within the Heart of Jesus and think Jesus knew all of the sufferings that He would undergo. He knew all of the souls that would be lost despite all of His suffering and He knew the great love that He had for those souls. And He knew that some souls would go to hell, forever, and He sweat blood.

7. Jesus said: “Thy will be done.”

8. R. Has the anguish ever been so great that you cried out and it felt as if you would buckle over in pain? And so it felt many times, maybe, as if you would almost sweat blood. But the blood did not come. Think of the anguish of our Divine Lord that He actually did, sweat blood.

9. R. The blood that Jesus sweat, for our precious souls. So precious are our souls to Jesus that He gave Himself to His death on the cross.

10. R. Do we realize how precious, we truly are? That the Almighty God loved us so much, that He gave Himself for us. Do we treasure ourselves as gifts from God? Do we treat our self, as His precious gift? Do we know how much He truly loves us?

R. There were three visits from the angel that preceded the apparitions of Mary at Fatima. The third visit from the angel:

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:

The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.”5

5. Our Lady’s Peace Plan, op cit., p.2. (The words in brackets are my ownadded for clarification).

Song: I Love You Jesus

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Matthew 27: 24-26

Then Pilate saw that he was making no impression, that in fact a riot was imminent. So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.

2. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so: “Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.”6

6. Fatima in Lucia’s Own Words, op cit., pp.64-65.

3. R. And so they beat our Beloved Savior at the pillar and He suffered. We do not even know a little bit the immensity of being beaten with whips. Think of yourself now as being tied to the pillar and think of what it would be like to be hit and to bleed and to suffer and then after you are hit and you are suffering, for them to continue to hit you on the same places. But He suffered for all of us. He suffered so much for the sins of the flesh.

4. R. For they beat His Body. And He wanted to give this message, the message to the world, “I love you, no matter what your sins, I love you. I forgive you when you come to Me and tell Me you are sorry. And I give you My love. I give to you My Body and My Blood.” We have the sacrament of Confession for mortal sins.

5. R. We are bound, we are limited. We do not comprehend the ways of God but He is teaching us His ways. And the more He teaches, the more we want to know for it is that which satisfies our starved soul, that I am so grateful to Him for all of the teachings that He has given to me, for how He has opened Himself up and He has let me know Him, know Him in this special way. I know that this is a great gift that He has given and that many men in the new era to come will know Him with this immense love. But this is a great gift He gives to us right now.

6. R. A great grace when we read the Blue Book messages and we cry. It is a mystical experience that He gives to us to experience His love in a special way. Jesus is indeed giving us great gifts right now. He allows us many times to suffer and to go through a lot of turmoil because of the work that we are doing. But think of how it would be to live like a little on the surface relationship with Him, thinking that He’s somewhere out there, being all alone and isolated in your heart, knowing that God is there, then He’s there, but not really knowing Him like you know Him now.

7. R. I know Him now immensely and it is because of the great grace He has given from praying these prayers in the Shepherds of Christ prayer book. He promised that to Fr. Carter that when people join the chapters and they pray those prayers, that they would receive a great grace to be drawn ever closer to His Heart and Mary’s heart. And I have watched it happen for all of the members in our prayer group since 1994. I have watched them, I have watched their relationship with Jesus grow so immensely.

8. R. And it is because of the love letters that He has given. It is because of immensely sitting in front of the tabernacle, going to the Mass and the Eucharist with great fervor and daily that He has given great grace to me to be joined ever closer to His Heart. And I am very, very, very grateful for the grace that He gives when I go to the Eucharist. It is what my heart craves and wants and longs for.

9. R. Jesus, we thank you for these graces that You have given to us and if we have offended You by our ingratitude or we have not thanked You properly, if we have not adored You and praised You and told You of our love, we are very sorry and we want to tell You now, thank You. Thank You for all the gifts that You have given to us and we love You with all our heart.

10. Sing: Little Child

 

The Crowning of Thorns

1. Matthew 27: 27-31

Then 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. R. When things seem like they are pressing in on us we must recall Jesus and we must see Him with the thorns pressing deep into His head. And this is how it seems many times for we are pressed on in our mind and in our thoughts.

3. R. We know that we can look at Jesus and we can see Him and we can study how He was. He withstood the suffering. He withstood it. Jesus suffered for our sins. We know that our Mother walks by our side, that she holds our hand, that forever in Their Hearts for this truly is our place of refuge.

4. R. And so Jesus sweat blood in the garden and so Jesus’ Body was torn and ripped at the pillar and now we see Him as He sits on a mock throne. How awful to mock someone. Think of them mocking the King of all Kings. And now we see the blood come from His precious skull. Do we believe that Jesus loves us? He loves us so much He suffered and died for our sins.

5. R. It is hard many times to believe that people really love us. It is hard many times and we do not even believe that God loves us as we should. Jesus has written these messages in God’s Blue Book that we will open them and that we will hear Him speak of His love to us.

6. R. It makes me feel so good inside when someone tells me that they love me, when someone does something very special for me. Think of how it is that we are so special and so precious to God that He came, that He gave His flesh, that He gave His Blood, that He allowed them to pound His head with thorns. He gave His Blood for me.

7. Sing: Come Holy Spirit

8. R. How are we bearing the cross that He gives to us? And how are we wearing the crown that He gives to us? For we are walking in His bloody footprints and why we think that if we are doing His work that it would not be a trial and a struggle many times.

9. Jesus struggled on this earth. We look at His life and see Him walk with a crown on His head and His cross on His back.
10. Jesus was spit on, mocked, laughed at, we can offer up our crosses.

 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. Luke 23:26-31

As 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: Carry the cross in your life.
    Identify the suffering with Me.
3. Jesus: I bring you life, I love you so much.
4. Jesus: It is your attitude.
    Do you carry your cross, willingly, in love?
5. Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life.
6. Life is in Him.

7. Mary: “I could scarcely stand to walk the way with Him. I was so sick at what they had done but I wanted to be with my Son. I walked by the grace of God.

8. Jesus: My suffering was intensified by the sorrow and suffering of My Mother. My eyes met hers and I saw her red, teary face. All they did to Me, but to watch My beloved Mother suffer! She heard the cross as it thumped up the hill. The sounds were so loud and, at the sight, she had to look away.

Stand by Me and walk this road to Calvary. Listen and see My beaten Body. Hear the jeers of the crowd. Hear the thumping of the cross. Listen when it falls hard on Me and I can scarcely go any more. Walk with Me and be there, then think of the little crosses I ask you to carry. Do not put them down. Accept them for Me. It is in your crosses that you are drawn closer to Me. I endured all this suffering for deep and ardent love of you and I would do it today for you alone.” (April 25, 1994 - Carrying of the Cross)

9. R. Do you see the torn body of our Savior? Do you see the cross on His back? Do you see Jesus with blood all over His face in the corner of His eyes and in His ears? And He looks up in such stress and He sees the eyes of His Mother. And what He sees is the beautiful Mother that He loved so much covered with such stress, with such sorrow, with such pain. And in that look They share great love and suffering. This is how it is in our life. We are not alone. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, would give Himself this very day for me, on the cross. The little things that He asked to help us to do to help with souls is so small compared to all that He did, that these souls would be saved.

10. Jesus: And I walked, and as I walked, the cross seemed so heavy and it pressed down on My back. But I did not remove the cross. How is your cross this day? Is it heavy on your back? You must go a little further, a little further, always going further and knowing that it is in the cross I will give you My greatest love.

 

The Crucifixion

1. Mark 15: 24-38

Then 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 speaks and He says, “How do I tell you that I died for you? Do you even know I would do it today, just for you? They nailed My beautiful hands and feet to the cross. Big, gigantic nails they pounded into My precious hands. Such hard hearts! (I got this in August 23rd of 1993. It was one of the first things He ever said about the passion.) They pounded the nails through My feet. Blood spurted out and they continued. Such hardness of hearts. Look at your hands, My child. Would you allow someone to nail them to a cross? Would you withstand this torture for love? This is My love for you. It is not a little lip service love. It is the love that made Me lay down My life for you. 

3. Jesus continues: Surrender. I call you to surrender. Open your arms as I did when I died on the cross. Let all your worldly possessions drop around you and you will experience the joy of being free, united only to Me, of letting go and knowing that I, God, tend to your every need. To My death on the cross I loved you and I love you this way this very day. Let go and give it all to Me. I will care for you far better than you could for yourself. I am God and I love you more than you can love yourself.” (May 25, 1994 - The Crucifixion)

4. R. “Jesus is dead, hanging on the cross, arms outstretched. His feet are not even on the ground. He is hanging by nails on a piece of wood. What do we hold on to? He wants us in midair in total surrender.” (May 25, 1994 - The Crucifixion)

5. Jesus: “Oh, little ones, how you squander your possessions. How you hold on to people, how you won’t let go! See Me in total surrender. I gave My very life for you. What do you hold on to, My little ones? Little bits and pieces you give to Me and you hold tightly to your lives. All will go up in smoke and only the things of God will remain. Not one pair of shoes do you take with you, only your love given to God and to others.” (May 25, 1994 - The Crucifixion)

6. Jesus: “Do not put the cross down. Do not complain. Sainthood is carrying the cross with a cheerful face. Your brothers will not comfort you and they will not give you your answers. Turn to Me, My beloved ones, in the silence. I am forever present. I know the workings of your hearts. I sanctify your souls. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I ponder your ways with such love.” (May 10, 1994)

7. R. And so I say to Jesus, “but my beloved Jesus, I am not a saint. I just love You so much. I love to go to the Eucharist and I love to feel the presence of God within my breast. I love you with the deepest love. But these other things seem so hard. Jesus I want to be like You, but it is so hard.”

8. Jesus: That is why I tell you My beloved ones, you must come to Me for I know the workings of your heart. I know every care and every struggle that you have. And I will comfort you and I will lead you deeply into My Heart.

9. Song: Give me Your Heart oh Jesus

10. Song: A Song from Jesus

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
