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 president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Christmas Day Children's Rosary
The Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
- Messenger: The Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of Jesus.
- Mary always complied with the Will of the Father. She said "yes" to the angel.
- She was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word was made flesh.
- Song: Come Holy Ghost…
- There was such intimacy between Mary and Jesus from the first moment of conception.
- She felt the life of the child Jesus grow within her womb.
- It was in her womb that the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed through the Holy Spirit.
- It is in realizing this connection between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we will grow in greater union with God.
- The Holy Spirit forever transforms us more and more into the image of Jesus.
- The womb of the Virgin Mary is the holy dwelling place of our beloved Savior.
The Visitation
- Messenger: Mary, being pregnant herself, but hearing through the angel that Elizabeth had conceived a child in her old age, made haste to the hill country to be with her cousin Elizabeth.
- When she arrived, the child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy.
- Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out in a loud voice the Magnificat.
- Mary said,
"My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior." (Lk 1:46,47)- "…because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed." (Lk 1:48)- "…for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name," (Lk 1:49)- Jesus is no less present this day in the Eucharist than He was in Mary's womb.
- How He waits and yearns for us to come and to be with Him because He loves us so much!
- If we realized how much He loves us, we would never fear.
- Song: O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appears. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel!
Birth of Jesus
- Messenger: Think of the glorious night when Jesus was born in a stable. The angels sang and shepherds watched.
- The cows and the sheep were there to keep them warm.
- This is truly Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who humbled Himself to share in our humanity.
- Song: Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains. And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains.
- Song: Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.
- Song: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
- Song: O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
- Song: What child is this who lay to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthem sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping.
- See Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the stable and see the tenderness in the eyes of Mary as she gazes on her newborn baby child, who is truly God!
- The birth of Jesus is at the heart of salvation history.
The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
- Messenger: Mary and Joseph took the child Jesus to the temple.
- While they were there, the prophet Simeon prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary to come.
- Simeon said to Mary, "…and a sword will pierce your soul, too..." (Lk 2:35)
- As he prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary, he also prophesied how many souls would be saved through Jesus.
- Mary gazes so tenderly on her precious child and, from this moment on, every time she looked at Jesus, she remembered the prophecy of Simeon.
- She had a constant ache in her Heart since the prophecy of Simeon.
- Song: See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender infant Child…
- She looked at the baby Jesus. She held Him in her arms. All through their life together, she knew His Heart. There was such love from the moment of conception between her and her Son! There was such intimacy between the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary.
- Dear Mary, you knew the Heart of your beloved Son Jesus. Please lead us to closer intimacy with Him. It is in loving Him through your pure and tender Heart that I too will love Him more tenderly.
- Let us love, through your Heart, our beloved Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple
- Messenger: How the Heart of Mary knew the Heart of Jesus! How the Heart of Mary suffered every sorrow. How she suffered when they lost the child Jesus in the temple.
- She calls out to us today to pray for her little lost children of the world.
- "It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies." (Lk 2:46,47)
- When His parents saw Him "…his mother said to him, 'My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you?' " (Lk 2:48)
- "He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart." (Luke 2:51)
- She was His Mother. She took care of Him. She knew Him with a deep, motherly love in her Heart.
- Mary: My beloved children, pray to the child Jesus. He will answer your prayers.
- I see Mary before me alive many times when I pray this mystery of the rosary. I see her and hear her call out. She begs us to pray for her lost children so that they will not be condemned to hell for their sinfulness and willfulness.
- Mary: I am Mary, your mother. I am urgently calling you to spread the love of My Son Jesus to the world. Make this your Christmas gift to this world: to help spread these rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Please spread them to the children and the adults.
- Song: O come, little children...

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 |
