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.

Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1. Mark 16: 1-11
When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary
the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices with which to go and anoint him.
And very early in the morning on the first day of the week they went to the tomb
when the sun had risen.
They had been saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away
the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?’ But when they looked they saw
that the stone—which was very big—had already been rolled back. On entering
the tomb they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right–hand side,
and they were struck with amazement. But he said to them, ‘There is no need to
be so amazed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he has
risen, he is not here. See, here is the place where they laid him. But you must
go and tell his disciples and Peter, "He is going ahead of you to Galilee;
that is where you will see him, just as he told you." ’ And the women
came out and ran away from the tomb because they were frightened out of their
wits; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Having risen in the morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to
Mary of Magdala from whom he had cast out seven devils. She then went to those
who had been his companions, and who were mourning and in tears, and told them.
But they did not believe her when they heard her say that he was alive and that
she had seen him.
2. We want intimacy
with our beloved
Jesus, we turn from
His love He gave for
us in the Passion to
our joy in meditating
on the Resurrection.
3. Jesus is teaching
us to die to those
bad habits in our
lives to live
the life of
resurrection.
4. Jesus is the way,
the truth and the life.
Life is in Him.
We want absolute
truth in our lives,
being courageous to
rid
ourselves of bad
habits, inordinate
attachments, we hold
onto that block
doing
God’s will and living
in love.
5. We grow in love by
living the life, death
and resurrection
mysteries
of Christ in
our life.
6. The Pascal mystery,
Death / Resurrection:
dying to the ways not
like
Jesus, growing
more and more like
Jesus.
7. We are a work in
Progress. God gives
us baptism, our
knowing and
loving
capacity is elevated.
8. In baptism we
receive the
supernatural virtues
of Faith, Hope and
Love.
9. God the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit
dwell in the graced,
baptized
soul.
10. God is love.
Because we are
baptized and living
as God wants, we
can
share in God’s
loving activity.
Loving is an act of
the will.
The Ascension
1.
Acts 1: 6-9
Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the
kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father
has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which
will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout
Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'
As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their
sight.
2. Being lifted up. Our
lives should focus on
doing the Father's
will,
in love.
3. The Apostles, 11
men, had a big job to
do after the
Ascension. They
were afraid, they
didn't understand it
then.
4. They needed the
Holy Spirit to descend
upon them.
5. But the truth is
they were to continue
the work Jesus
began.
6. They were chosen
by Jesus to do this, it
was the Father's Plan
for
them.
7. The Father called
us to our vocation
and He wants us, in
our
vocation, to help
build God's Kingdom.
8. The Father created
us and wants us in
heaven with Him one
day.
9. John 3:16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.
10. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord
The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Blessed
Mother
1. Acts 2: 1-4
When Pentecost day came round,
they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a
sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which
they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire;
these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They
were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different
languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
2. The Holy Spirit
came upon them in
parted tongues of
fire.
3. The apostles were
transformed from
fear to fearlessness.
4. So many were
converted after this.
5. Through the
pierced Heart of
Jesus, the Church
was born, water for
baptism, blood for
the Eucharist.
6. Faith is a new
power of knowing,
viewing God,
everything in relation
to God.
7. Hope: desire to live
out the vision of
Faith, trust in God,
I trust God will give
me the aid to live out
this vision of
Faith.
8. Love is living the
vision of Faith,
faithfulness to God's
will,
living as Jesus
would. God is love.
9. Jesus is the
teacher of love. The
more one we are with
God: Father,
Son and
Holy Spirit, the more
we are rooted in love.
10. We participate in
God's loving activity
if we are faithful and
remain in the state of
grace.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and
permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You
work in my heart.
The Assumption
1. Mary was taken
body and soul into
heaven.
Lifted up.
2. Mary is the New Eve,
Mary is our model.
3. Mary is Mother of
the Church.
4. Mary was conceived
without sin.
5. Mary is our Mother,
she wants God's will,
it's God's will we go
to
heaven.
Mary wants us, her
children, to go to
heaven.
6. Mary loved virtuously.
Prudence - making
right decisions,
according to God's
will.
7. Justice - purpose to
give others what is
their due, including
God.
8. Fortitude - courage -
to deal with difficult
aspects of life,
properly.
9. Temperance - allows us
to handle the pleasurable
according to God's
will.
10. Humility - humility,
is truth. Seeing
ourselves as
creatures of God
and loving it.
Eve wanted to be
equal to God, this is
the sin of pride. Sin
offends God.
The Queenship of Mary
1. Mary is Queen of
heaven and earth.
2. Mary is our
Spiritual Mother.
3. Mary is the Spouse
of the Holy Spirit.
4. We are here to help
make the world what
God intends it to be,
for His
human family.
5. Mary is Mother.
God the Father,
created us and is our
Heavenly Father.
6. We need devotion
to the Sacred Heart
and Mary's
Immaculate Heart.
7. Devotion shows
honor and love,
respect, unity with
Them. We see the
Hearts of Jesus and
Mary, Hearts of
greatest love and we
love Them.
Simplicity, love from
the heart, given to
Their Hearts of
love.
8. The spiritual life
looked at simply is
Love. God is love.
The life of Jesus
teaches us: love
endures and love
sacrifices for the
good of the other.
Love gives.
9. The Mass is the
sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made
present.
Death / Resurrection:
the Pascal Mystery.
10. 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.
