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 new president as he takes office. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Cling to Me
May 13, 1993
Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

Song: God's Love
Excerpt from June 5, 1996 Rosary
The Annunciation
Jesus: I am giving to you, My beloved ones, this grace that you may unite in the deepest chamber of My Heart. You must surrender. Love is relationship. I give Myself to you. Give yourself to Me. Give Me your heart, through the heart of My Mother. Unite in a relationship with Me. I am giving Myself to you. You must surrender and give yourself to Me. You will unite to My Heart depending on the degree to which you give yourself in this love relationship with Me. You have been called and you have been chosen to unite in the deepest union in My Heart. You must give yourself. It is in giving that your hearts are filled with joy. You were created to give love to God and to one another but because of the hurts in your life, many hold back and do not love. I am giving to you the grace to love. You must know that I love you, I will never abandon you. I am there when you give love and you are rejected. You are to love. If you decide to stop loving because of rejection, this love will not go out to the world. I am calling you to continue to love when you are rejected and to come to Me for I will bathe you in My love and you will be filled. I will not reject you. Look at Me on the cross – I gave My all for you. Know that this is the love I had that I came into this world a helpless baby for love of you and I died on the cross. I love you, I love you, I love you. You are the soldiers of My love. You must continue to love when you are rejected. I was persecuted and scorned, whipped and crowned with thorns, spit on and I fell to the ground, but I continued for My Heart was filled with the deepest burning love. I was consumed with burning love for you and I knew this day that you would sit in this chapel and your heart would burn for love of Me. I am Jesus. I am consumed with such love for you at this moment. My Heart beats in endless love for you.6.
7.
Jesus: It is through the heart of My Mother that you will come to the deepest chamber of My Heart. Surrender and go to the heart of your Mother. Be as a baby, dependent on your Mother and I will take you and caress you and hold you in My Heart. It is there that you will unite to the love of My Father and you will know the love of the Almighty God. You will know My embrace, My loved ones. I give to you, love, love of God and love of one another. Your hearts were made to love. Many in the world have turned cold. Many in the world have turned off their hearts. You are being filled with My Divine Love. You will go into the world and your hearts will radiate this love.8.
Jesus: Love is force, love is action, love is power, love is motivating – what would you do to the one you love, My dear ones? What will you do for Me? For I come to you with My Heart open and I show you this burning Heart of love and I ask you to give yourself to Me. Give Me yourself. Give Me yourself. Say, Jesus, “I give You myself - I give You myself”, and we will unite in the deepest love.9.
Jesus: Love is giving of yourself to the other. I gave Myself to My death on the cross and this day I give Myself to you in the Eucharist – what more do you want? I give you Myself. You will unite to Me, according to how you give yourself. I am giving Myself to you. Love is relationship. I showed you the love between My Heart and My Mother’s heart. I want a burning love affair with you. Come to the tabernacle - come to Mass, stay with Me after Communion, and I will give you My Divine love to warm your heart, to set your heart on fire. I am Jesus. You have been chosen to unite to My Heart.

Love Him Quietly
R.
I can communicate with others far better sometimes by not talking. That is how it is with Jesus. This chit-chat is not what is in my heart at all. I just talk to not be silent. With Jesus, I am just silent. I just want His presence. I have to learn to be quiet with others. I am just talking because I am nervous, and I am not saying anything that is in my heart and soul.In my heart and soul is love, rooted so deeply in the love of Jesus. I have to learn to quit talking. I am not even saying what is going on in my soul.
Gift of love: St. Paul said, “Though I command languages both human and angelic
- if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.” (1 Co. 13:1)My heart is so much deeper than words. To speak is to take away what is in my heart, for what is in my heart is so deep.

Do Ordinary Things With Love
Written at 12:15 p.m. at Holy Cross
-Immaculata Church:R.
How I long to be covered with His blood all over me - the precious blood of my Beloved, shed for our sins and the sins of mankind. I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church at 12:15, so eager to be there, filled with such emotion. This is my greatest, deepest feeling, to be here with my Love. My sacrifice is to do the ordinary things and drudgery, with love! I don’t always love as I should. I must see beyond the person to an ideal self and to love them. I must see Christ in them - see how they reflect Christ. I need to quit focusing on myself. I do not need to explain!A saint is one doing ordinary things with love
- always love. We must keep our focus on Him. The world is dying in their hearts. The world is keeping children focused on excitement from the outside. It has games that appeal to all senses as a brainwashing technique. They keep the child looking for instant excitement from the outside. It is so intense, so exciting there that their bodies cannot even take it!High, intense excitement
- where does the child go to get the next fix, that which will feed this high level of gratification that they are not even looking for? Sex, drugs, etc. - what excitement comes after that? The devil has created these games and is brainwashing the hearts of the children. All that is sought is on the outside - the real source of life is within the heart.God is the Source of life!
If the world can keep people focused on the outside, all they need can be found outside the body, excitement to satisfy the body beyond all comprehension. Where does a child go when they are given computers that talk to others on the other end of the world, games that isolate children and keep them in an intense state of self
-indulgent gratification They reach such a level of intense gratification that they could kill? They have practiced combat - they have been there!INTENSITY
- responding under intensity - violentlyINTENSE NOISE
KILLING AND GUNS
INTENSE SITUATION
A CHILD’S FACE IS RED when HE IS DONE playing some video games
R.
Children are taught intensity in video games. They are taught to respond in violence. There is intense noise, use of guns to kill. They are given intense situations.
The way of God teaches:
Love
Union
Bonds
Interiority
Connection
Sacrifice
Will of God
Selflessness
Surrendering
The way of the world teaches:
Fear
- ready to kill
Intensity
Isolation
Responding with violence
Hard hearts
Indulgence
Pleasure
Self-UNO
Willfulness
Aggression - I have power, I am
in control.God teaches us to love according to His will. God wants us to surrender and be led by the Spirit. The world is teaching youth, through the video games, to respond quickly with violence, aggressive behavior; they teach all who play them to respond quickly with anger to kill. Children have practiced these techniques. They have practiced killing quickly. How sick is this?
The games promote: reactive behavior, controlling behavior, pleasure, self
-indulgent behavior, isolating behavior, focusing on the exterior, abandoning the interior heart, and violent behavior. The person playing the video games needs high levels of excitement.Jesus showed us the way
- Christ lived for 33 years a calm life, a carpenter’s son, a family life. He gave Himself, gave His all and surrendered to the Father’s will. He was always calm. He had peace in His Heart. He came in poverty. He left covered with blood.Women were portrayed in the video game as nasty, with an ugly face and foul language. Mary is our model.
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims
-49)
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior;
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.” (Lk. 1:46
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.

Let Us Love the Two Hearts of Jesus and
Mary in the Reception of the Holy Eucharist
HE GAVE HIMSELF TO US ON THE CROSS.
HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST.
How great was the act of love, God gave to this world, when He gave Himself and died on the cross. He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.R.
The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow.
The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.
This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our Holy, Loving God. Our all consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God? He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love when Jesus gives Himself
- Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in Communion? We should beg God, in this most intimate union with Him, to help us to love Him with greatest love.Jesus is a Person. He wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. Our Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist, we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, with Divinity, we must pour out our love to God. We must pour out our heart to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being in the sacrament of His greatest love. This is the Gift of Himself.
Think of how it is to love someone and give your all for that person, to pour out your heart to him or her and then be treated with coldness and neglect. It hurts our heart so much more when we deeply love someone to be rejected by that person. Jesus loves us with the deepest love. We cannot fully comprehend this love. Let us love Him with the deepest love. Let us love Mary and her Immaculate Heart. Let us love her as the Mother of God. Let us love her as the virgin who bore the Son of God. May we, in the reception of the Eucharist pour out our love to Him, to this adorable Heart. May we pour out our love to His Holy Mother.
Mary said at Fatima that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Let us love these two Hearts as we receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Then we are so deeply united with God. We see Their two Hearts surrounded with thorns for the injustices against Their Hearts. Let us help make reparation daily as we receive Him in the Eucharist. This is a special time to help make reparation to Their wounded Hearts.
Let us remember how He poured His love out to us on the cross and how He pours out His love to us now when He gives us Himself in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which contains His Heart of burning love. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Her heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. As the wounds in Their Hearts are deep, so too is Their love so deep.
He does not want “surface love”. He wants hearts filled with deep burning love.

It is in the Cross We Will be Raised to New Life
R.
His anguish was so great in the garden for the endless hours He would remain in the tabernacle, neglected by so many. I see the Host and a cup plainly, above the agony and the angel. See Jesus in such agony in the garden.An angel appeared at Fatima
- what did he say?-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.”51The 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
R.
This is the greatest agony I have experienced over the rejection and indifference given to Him by His chosen ones. We were called to the Catholic faith - it is a great honor to be baptized and receive divine life! Election to be called a Catholic, election to receive the Holy Eucharist, our First Communion!The thorns around His Heart are for the indifference and rejection given to Him. Think of it, to give Himself to us in the deepest intimacy and be rejected by us creatures. His Heart filled with love
- He is Love Himself - and He is rejected by many of His Catholic elect!Mary is treated without respect and honor, even by many Catholics.
It is the faithful that help make reparation in the reception of the Eucharist that comfort Their Hearts.
Mary’s heart is surrounded by thorns from the blasphemies against her Immaculate Heart, Her Immaculate Conception, against her as the Mother of God, against her images.
Jesus’ Heart is surrounded by thorns for the injustices and neglect against Him. It is our devotion and adorable reception of the Holy Eucharist that was sweetness to His bitter pain in the Garden.
I cried so hard at Holy Cross
-Immaculata Catholic Church under the cross and by the Lourdes Grotto because I so deeply wanted to love God, Who is worthy of all my love. I cried because I love God so much and want to give Him great love. In Mary’s heart, I can love Him more. She loves Him more than any human person. Her heart is pure and sinless. I want to unite to Him in deepest love. By dwelling in her heart, I am dwelling more deeply in His Heart.Oh heart of Mary, place me in the deepest recesses of His Heart that I may love Him more and more and love my adorable Father and the Holy Spirit, my beloved, beloved friend.
I just love God so much it makes me cry to talk to Him.
I carry with me the cross of Christ forever in my heart as He carried His cross. I carry His cross in my heart. I love His adorable wounds in His hands and feet and with the tenderest love I love the wound in His side. I love His body as He hangs on the cross
- this is love. This is how He loves me, this is how He loves each person - to His death.The sun shines, and as it shines I behold the cross of Christ. He is the Light to this world. By carrying His cross in our hearts, we share in His life. It is in the cross that we will be raised to new life in Him!
I could write pages on the words “In Him.” These are my favorite words as they denote my relationship with Him. I am one in the Word of God. He is the Word. He is living in this world. I feel every word, for it is in me as Christ is in me. His Word is in me and lives in me.
I exist in Him, and His Word lives in me. I love Him. I love the Word of God. I am fed by His Body and Blood. I am fed by His Word. My heart burns to hear it
- to read it - I feel it alive in me because He is alive in me!Think of how it would be to stand tied at the pillar and be slapped by instruments that burned your flesh and tore it, to be slapped on the arms and the face and the back and to hear the loud laughs of the men whipping you. How cruel were the hearts of those who whipped Him, and how His Heart ached for they were loved so by Him!
December 27, 1995
They Come with Thorns in Their Hearts
Written after Communion:
R.
He emptied Himself. He poured out His Heart, literally blood and water poured out of His Heart. He gives to us this Heart this day in the Holy Eucharist, and He is rejected.How hard it is when we pour out our hearts to someone we love, when we give love and are rejected by those we want to love us most. This is the hardest to endure.
Jesus, Who is love, gives His all, this magnificent Heart of love, gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and look how He is treated by some of those He loves. This was one of the greatest agonies in the Garden. The Eucharist is the sacrament of His greatest love, given to us. He is treated with disrespect, irreverence, indifference, and neglect in this gift in which God literally gives Himself!
He poured out His Heart to us and He was rejected by many. Today, He pours out Himself in the Holy Eucharist, and He is treated so badly by so many. He asks us, especially in the reception of the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle, to help make reparation to His adorable Heart for the offenses against Him.
Mary asks us, in the reception of the Eucharist, to help make reparation to her Immaculate Heart for the blasphemies against her heart. They come with the thorns surrounding Their Hearts. I have experienced such agonies in my heart. I feel as if I have had ridges in my heart because it has happened so many times, over and over again and so deep.
These agonies, I believe, are from the thorns piercing Their Hearts for the injustices against Their Hearts. With each act of love I give to Mary, loving her as the Mother of God, loving her in her Immaculate Conception, loving her as the virgin who gave birth to the Son of God, loving her images and statues, I see each thorn turned into a flower, a garland surrounding her Immaculate Heart of love.
I want to love Him with the deepest love, to make reparation for the indifferences, offenses, negligences, disrespect, and irreverence shown to Him in His sacrament of greatest love. I ask Mary, with her pure and Immaculate Heart, to let me love Him more through her heart, that I may love Him with greater love. My greatest desire in life is to give love to my precious and beloved God. I beg Him to help me to unite to Him, to more worthily love Him with the deepest love.
It is in carrying His cross in our hearts, accepting the thorns in life graciously, outpouring our abundant love to Him, that we help make reparation to His Heart which suffered so much during the bitter Passion.
Let us help make reparation to these adorable Hearts in the sacrament of His greatest love, the Holy Eucharist. It is there we can more greatly love Them when we are united to Him in deepest love.
December 28, 1994
Carry the Cross of Christ in Your Heart
R.
It becomes more and more apparent that He loves us so much when we share in His sufferings. The cross of Christ we carry in our hearts. We look at His adorable wounds, His side wide open, gaping open, and we know truly He held nothing back. The blood poured out from all of the wounds in His body. He asks us to give our all, to love when we are laughed at and knocked to the ground, to love always, to not close up and protect ourselves. He did not close up the wounds. He walked on with the cross on His back. No one stitched Him up. His arms were occupied with the cross. He bled on the ground. Then, He stretched out His arms and hung on the cross with open wounds.He asks us to share in His life, death, and Resurrection. We carry forever with us the cross of Christ in our heart. In our sufferings, we share in His Passion. In our rejection, we know the rejection He suffered in His Heart.
He loves us much when He allows us to share in this suffering. It is in this suffering and in our joys, in our love shared with one another, that we know our precious Lord. To suffer is a great gift from Him. Let us carry His cross in our hearts with greatest joy, for it is a gift from Him. It is in the cross that we share more fully in His life.
Jesus:
You will know more and more how dearly I love you as you realize that sufferings bring you closer to Me. All you experience accept as great gifts from Me. It is in your suffering that you knew Me deeper and deeper. Praise your heavenly Father with the greatest joy for all the great sufferings in your life, it was there you were brought to deeper life in Me. I love you, to My death on the cross. It is in the thorns you will find the roses.R.
St. Paul says: “A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because we are parts of his Body.” (Ep. 5:29-30) We eat His Body, we drink His Blood. We are the Body of Christ. He gives us Himself to eat - we are His Body. How much more intimate that we are His Body!From the beginning, we were conceived in our Mother’s womb
- the Father having a unique plan for us. I am not to be anxious. Mary and Jesus always were at peace, always Their life in order, not talkative, not boastful, living a quiet life for 30 years. I must have peace and tranquility at all times. The Father’s plan is harmonious. They will assist me in any way. I do not need to be anxious or loose my trust in Him. I am as the baby at the breast. I am living to serve, to be a mother, a wife, to live in a family, to be as the Father wants me to be. His way is peace.Mary, my model, was prudent and just, calm, a woman of few words. This is God’s work; I serve. I live in Him. I am the baby; He is the Almighty God. I am one in Him. He is all powerful; I am a servant. When my life becomes unmanageable, I am doing my will
- His will is peace and joy.Spirit of God, take charge of my life to order it. I lack the virtues needed to be more like my model, Mary. Spirit, work in her womb to transform me into the image of my Savior. I want, I long, for closer union with God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is in this transformation, I will unite more closely with my beloved Father. I am Yours. I give myself unreservedly to You to do with as You want.
I surrender and give my all to Thee. Jesus died on the cross and gave His all. I unite with this sacrifice to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, and beg for this transformation in the adorable heart of Mary, my Mother. Everything I do, I want to do united to the Holy Spirit with the divine wisdom He lets me share.

Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
1. The Angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of God.
2. God came into this world and was born in the womb of a human person.
3. Mary said “yes” to the angel. She always complied to the will of the Father.
4. Mary was made the Mother of God. Under the cross, Jesus gave us His Mother. She is our Mother this day. As our heavenly Mother, she wants to lead us closer and closer to the Almighty God.
5. Mary wants us to ask her for her protection. She wants to take care of us. She is our spiritual Mother. We ask Mary, our Mother, to put her protective mantel over us now and to protect us from all of the evil influences that are in our world that lead us away from her Son.
6. Mary always tried to please her heavenly Father. The Father will tell us more about Himself, the more that we go to Him as a little child. We are dependent on Him for all of our needs.
7. We see all through the lives of Jesus and Mary how They surrendered to the will of God. As we let go and let God operate in our lives, we will have peace.
8. We try so hard so many times. It becomes difficult. We feel like saying, “What is the use?” Jesus is close to us even though we do not feel Him close to us. He is there in the most difficult battle.
9. Jesus wants us to go to His Heart. I envision myself going into the red glowing chamber of His Heart through His pierced wound.
10. Sometimes we feel discouraged. We see things in this world that are so ugly. We are so busy. We have so much school work. If we ask God, He will help us with all that we have to do.
The Visitation
1. Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. How many times we wish this day that we would see Mary, that we would see Jesus, that we would know for sure that He is here. He is here with us. He is alive even though we do not see Him. He is present and He is with us. It is in our faith that we will know Him more and more.
2. During this rosary, let us ask to know more about His life and His Mother’s life.
3. Mary said, “...My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;” (Lk. 1:46-47) Let us have hearts of great joy, for He is with us at this moment.4. Mary said, “for the Almighty has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,” (Lk. 1:49) The Almighty has done great things to us. When we were baptized, we received a share in His divine life.5. We are human and God raises our nature to a higher level as we share in His divine life.
6. Let us go to the tabernacle and visit with Jesus. He gives us an abundant sharing in His divine life.
7. The world sells video games that are so violent and so exciting. Jesus comes and gives to us His peace and His love. This is what our hearts crave the love of the Almighty God. We do not need extra excitement to feel good. It is the peace and love of Jesus that satisfies our souls.
8. We see Mary visiting her cousin, Elizabeth, and there is such joy.
9. The world is sick in many of its ways this day. We need to go to Jesus and to the interior calmness of our hearts. We need to encounter Jesus and to be close to Him. God is the source of life.
10. It is important to interact with others and visit with others. But we must have a quiet place in which we go and talk to Jesus.
The Birth of Jesus
1. When we follow Jesus in this world today, many times, we will be rejected. At birth, Jesus was rejected. There was not a place for Him to lay His head. He was born in a stable.
2. We carry out the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus in our lives. When we feel rejected by others, we must remember how Jesus was rejected. He is allowing us to share in His suffering and to know Him more deeply.
3. God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son. Jesus came into this world in a human baby body. The Almighty God enters this world in a little body out of greatest love for man.
4. Many times we feel frightened and we do not know who to turn to. Jesus wants us to go to a quiet room and to talk to Him about our problems. He never leaves us. He is always with us.
5. Jesus came into this world in such poverty and was laid in a little manger in a stable. If we meditate on Jesus in the stable and lying in the manger, we will realize more His love for us. God comes in such poverty and such humbleness into our world.
6. We realize how much God loves His creatures, that He comes in the womb of a human person, the Virgin Mary.
7. Do we realize that God has all the power, that He is magnificent, that He is Almighty, that He created all that exists in this world? Do we realize that He gives life to every baby that comes into this world and that He created all the trees and all the stars in the sky? This Almighty God loved us so much that He came into this world as a little helpless baby.
8. Mary loves us more than any earthly mother loves her children and she wants to have a personal relationship with us. She wants us to know how she cares for everything that we are doing and that she wants us to talk to her and know that she is forever by our sides.
9. Life seems so hard many times. It is then, as always, that we must go to Jesus and know that when it is hard, we are sharing in His life. He is so close to us in our struggles.
10. We should think of Jesus telling us how much He loves us. Jesus loves each one of us individually. He loves us more than any person on this earth could love us. Jesus loves us so much that He came into this world and He died for us on the cross. We should think about this often.
The Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple
1. Jesus was taken to the Temple and was presented to His Father by Joseph and Mary.
2. While they were there, the prophet Simeon, moved by the Holy Spirit, came to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and he told them that
“Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed-” (Lk. 2:34)3. He told Mary that
“and a sword will pierce your soul too-so the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.” (Lk. 2:35)4. Mary wants all her little children to go to heaven someday and to be united with the Almighty God. She wants them to be so close to Him.
5. Mary’s heart was invisibly pierced with the sword. Mary, with her pure heart, is capable of great love. She loves her children more than any earthly mother can.
6. Eve was the mother of our physical life. Mary is the Mother of our spiritual life.
7. Mary is disrespected so much in this world today. She is looked down upon. How can we not love the Mother of God? She was conceived without sin. She conceived the Child Jesus. She is a virgin.
8. Mary wants us to tell her how much we love her and to comfort her heart for all of the ugly things that people say about her. God wants us to respect Mary.
9. Many people make fun of her pictures and her statues and laugh at her. She is Mary Immaculate, conceived without sin. She is ridiculed and made fun of. Let us tell Mary that we love her. This will comfort her aching heart.
10. We see statues of Mary with her heart surrounded by thorns. These thorns are from the nasty things that are said about our Mother and the Mother of God.
Jesus is Found in the Temple
1. Jesus, when He was twelve years old, was taken to the Temple for the feast of the Passover. Mary and Joseph left on the caravan and Jesus was left behind.
2. Jesus was lost in the Temple and Mary and Joseph searched for Him with their hearts sorrowing.
3. There are many little children in this world today that are lost. They have wandered far from her Son Jesus. Mary wants us to pray for all the little children in this world.
4. She wants us to pray the rosary. We are her little children. We learn about the lives of Jesus and Mary as we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary. We can model our actions after Their actions.
5. Do we model our lives after our Mother Mary? Do we act with this gentleness, with this purity and kindness? Do we act like Jesus? Jesus came to this earth to save us from our sins and to show us the way to live.
6. We must always try to act like Jesus. We must be kind. We must talk lovingly to each other. When people look at us, do they see that Jesus lives within our hearts?
7. The Father has a plan for each one of us. He created each one of us, His special children, with talents that only we have. It is in living according to His plan that we will be the happiest little children.
8. What is most pleasing to Him is when we surrender and try to do what He is asking us to do.
9. He always forgives our sins. Jesus paid the price for our sins. God loves us so much and wants us to be happy and to be close to Him, to live in love with Him and with each other.
10. Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with the fire of God’s love, that we may know more and more His burning love for us.

Mother of God
Written between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.:
R.
I was filled with such love for God. At the words, “Mother of God”, I cried. I love those words. I love her. I love God so much. I love the Angelus. I love the relationship between Jesus and Mary. I realized how she is truly at our side - she spreads her mantle over us!
December 29, 1995
Fused with the Son and Our Father
Written between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. 12:20 at Holy Cross
-Immaculata Church:R.
Two weeks ago, I had the experience where I was united in deepest love under the cross at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church. I touched eternity. I was hurled into a red cavern of immense love. I saw myself as being contained in a red circle. I was in this moment embraced by God. I felt no fear. I felt His presence as never before. I was empowered with this union (read Dec. 18 - an account of this event). I saw as it were two circles: both red with a yellow glow. I believe today that the second heart was the heart of my Mother.At 12:01 today, as I was praying the Angelus, I was overwhelmed by the love I had for Mary and her role as Mother of God. I cried all the way, feeling this love for Mary as Mother of God. When I arrived at Holy Cross
-Immaculata Catholic Church, I was overwhelmed by the immense love I felt for God, and I cried so hard, telling Him how I loved Him. I saw nothing else, I felt nothing else, but my great love for Him and my need to profess it so deeply within me, outpouring my love.Today after Communion, I believe the second circle to be the heart of my dear Mother. I am enclosed in her loving heart and filled with the fire of God’s love as the action of the Holy Spirit works on me and sanctifies me to make me holy. I am then hurled in the Heart of Jesus with this fire of the love of God, the action of the Spirit radiating around me, and in this moment, I am fused with the Son and the Father Who is one with Him, although I know I remain distinct.
On December 15, I felt satisfied and complete. I knew the love of God. I existed In Him. I could not even define my position. I was enveloped and embraced by the Almighty God. I had touched eternity, united with love itself.
I now believe it was in the heart of Mary, surrounded by the action of the Spirit, united in the cavern of God’s love, which centers in the Heart of Jesus, that I was united with the Father.
This is what I had. There was nothing wanting in that moment
- I felt complete, existing in God, in the heart of Mary!
December 29, 1995
He Breathes His Divine Love and Our Soul is Made Clean
Written at 3:45 p.m. at Holy Cross
-Immaculata Church:R.
I now know how I can dwell in her heart. It was in this moment I experienced eternity. The embrace of the divine love of God. I was enclosed in the heart of my loving Mother.
I experience the presence of the Father.
The Holy Spirit is so alive in this action, filling me with the fire of God’s love, sanctifying me. The more I am made holy, the more I unite to Jesus and the Father.
It is the breath of His divine love, acting on me. He breathed His love into my soul, and my soul was made clean. I was purified more and more in the heart of my loving Mother. I go more and more deeply into the endless cavern of the fire of God’s love. It is the Heart of Jesus, the great abyss of love, an abyss that is endless. It is there, I unite deeply to the Father and all at once. I experience the presence of God as I exist in the heart of Mary. I am in God and in Mary’s heart, but there are no lines, no beginnings, no endings. The action is all at once, simultaneously. It is the state of being in God, in the heart of Mary. There is nothing but a feeling of presence, a completeness, a fullness, to embrace love itself and have no fear.
On December 13th, He plunged me into the deepest sufferings of Their Hearts for the injustices done to children and the pain suffered from the neglect and sins of the religious. Then, two days later, He took me to the great abyss of His love. I existed in Him, and I touched eternity.
This is the love He wants to share with us. He loves the religious with the deepest love. This is what wounded His Heart so much during His Passion. When we love another so much, our heart is wounded the most by that person’s indifference.
I will forever see the fiery abyss of His love and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is our little heaven on earth.
The Kingdom of God is within us. We go to our interior dwelling place, and we dwell in the endless abyss of the love of God.
In the deepest chamber I am embraced by the Almighty God, and there is no fear, for in that moment, I am united with Love itself.
Mary is, indeed, the vehicle. Her heart
- the way we go to the deepest chambers is through her pure and tender heart.The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are our gateway to heaven on earth.
December 29, 1995
Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood
R.
We live our whole life carrying out His life, death, and Resurrection in our lives.I see, all through my life, that I knew Him as I lived. I was persecuted. I had joys. I fell. I was wounded. Now that I unite with Him this day, I see He allowed me to suffer a little as He suffered, and I know Him more by the experiences I had in my life. I walked the Passion with Him when I did not know I was walking the Passion. I was raised to new life in Him when I did not know that I was.
This life He gave me to live is how I know Him today. My whole life now interlocks with His as a great gift He gave me. He allowed me to share His life. Joys and sufferings are made beautiful in my life, for He is teaching me His ways. He gently gives me His loving lessons and allows me to share in His life. I love you, Jesus, my beloved Love. I have loved You my whole life for You were always with me. I close this year dwelling in Their Hearts, for I can feel Their love in my heart. I can put that whole vision in my chest and dwell now in both Their Hearts. I am engulfed in the presence of the Father.
December 29, 1995
Notes
R.
The Holy Spirit moved in the womb of Mary to form the Christ Child. Let Him move now in me, sanctifying me, and leading me to have a heart of burning love in this cold, dark world.I experience the oneness of the Trinity alive in me.
It is in that action and presence in all of us that we unite as we dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I experience the presence in me and my heart burns. You experience the presence in you and your heart burns. We are one in these holy Hearts. The whole world is united in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. A mother protects her children. We are enveloped in her heart. We are such sinners. How could we dare dwell in His Heart with our sins? Through the action of the Holy Spirit, in her pure and tender heart, we are able to enter into His Heart, into the deepest recesses of His burning Heart. She is full of grace. We enter into her heart. She places us in His Heart. We are saturated with His life.
December 31, 1995
Mary’s Sorrows
R.
Mary stood under the cross, and Mary wept.“My Son, my Son,” Mary cried out in her heart
- for in that moment she knew such anguish and pain for all those that would reject His grace. Mary knew the souls that would go to hell despite the giving of Himself on the cross.I love the mysteries of the rosary, for they are the times I meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary, Their oneness with each other.
Mary lost her Son in Jerusalem when He was twelve. Within her Immaculate Heart, she knew God from carrying Him in her body and in her arms. She held in her heart the prophecy of Simeon. She knew of sufferings to come recorded in her heart. She knew in her heart the flight into Egypt and the love of her beloved husband Joseph. She knew so much about Jesus in her heart. She watched Him comply to the will of His Father.
How many of her little children this day have separated themselves from God?
(I smelled gardenias the whole time I was in front of the tabernacle at the Holy Spirit Center.)
December 31, 1995
Mary Appeared in the Grotto
R.
On December 31, 1995, Mary appeared in the Grotto. A woman from Canada was in the church. Mary gave me a special rosary. I wrote that day in my notebook: “Mary came alive at the beginning of the rosary. The whole grotto was engulfed in silver light. She remained for the entire rosary. I saw as I have never before. She came forward from the grotto and the grotto disappeared behind her. At one point her skin was as alive looking as mine, at other times she looked transparent and adorned in the brightest mystical light. Her face was so young and so beautiful. I cannot in any way, ever describe what I saw in this hour. There was constant motion, the vision constantly changing. At one point in the rosary I could not speak, I was wrapped in the presence.
December 31, 1995
Mary’s Presence
R.
I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church to pray the rosary with my children. (I met a lady from Toronto who took photos for a magazine. I felt moved to ask her about the pictures. She asked me to pray the rosary).It was a wonderful rosary. We prayed there before the Lourdes Grotto. The Lourdes Grotto was glistening in the most beauteous light. The rocks were seen with a mystical aura far beyond anything I could ever put in words. It was a beautiful apparition of Our Lady in the celestial looking rocks in the Lourdes Grotto with this mystical aura of light. I knew the presence of Our Lord with us as we prayed the rosary and Our Lady appeared in such beauty and light. I love to pray by the Lourdes Grotto and the big Crucifix. Oh how I love God, this is a special place for me to connect to Him and to Mary. I saw Mary young and beautiful in the grotto. I saw the rocks glistening in a silver light. I saw Mary as she came forth from the grotto and at times the grotto would disappear behind her. She is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She appeared to Bernadette as the Immaculate Conception. I love the grotto there. I saw her alive with tender, young skin, a very young girl. I saw her face in the brightest mystical light, so young and so beautiful. Mary is so beautiful because she is so pure and loving. It is through her Immaculate Heart we will unite deeply to the Heart of Christ.
I love you,
Rita

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. $15 |

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. $15 |

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. $15 |

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. $15 |

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD. — Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10 |
