Consecration Prayer for Peace
I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.
I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able, to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
Prayer for Grace for Election and our Country
Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Jesus:
I want a relationship with you.
Come to Me.
All day, turn to Me, be one
in Me, do not fear.
I am love.
Pray to the Holy Spirit to infuse
wisdom, understanding and
knowledge into your intellect.
Listen to Me.
Say the Our Father, hang on
every word.
I love you so much.
Tell others about the Daily
Message.
Use your phone to pray the
rosary and read My words
to live My way, walk in the
truth and live life according
to the Father’s will in love.
Jesus: I am the way, the truth
and the life.
You are blessed in suffering
for Me.
The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally
made present.Jesus: I died for you.
R. It’s amazing to think of
Christ’s life.
He was born in poverty,
showing that at birth
and yet He suffered for our
sins, paid for our sins, died,
rose and ascended into
heaven to bring us new life!
Jesus shows us the Mystery
of Christ and His love for us.
Jesus is our Savior, Jesus
loves us so much.
Jesus gave us the Church,
the sacraments, the priest.
John 3:16For 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.R. Jesus ascended into
heaven, but remains with us
truly present in the Eucharist.
Oh God, thank You for Your
love God.
Thank You for Your gifts.
Thank You for forgiveness
and mercy.
Oh God, You created us in
Your image and likeness.
You are the potter, God, we
are the clay.
Oh God I love You.
You are our Savior, the
Good Shepherd.
God is with us.
Amen.

St. Paul "Are you not aware that we who are
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized
into His death.
Through baptism into His death we
were buried with Him, just as Christ was
raised from the dead by the glory
of the Father, we too might live a new life."
Ref. Romans 6: 3-4
Fr. Carter says
We contact Christ in the Liturgy.1) The Eucharist - We become more
deeply incorporated into Christ
and His Mystery.
2) Scripture
To not know scripture is to not
know Christ.
3) We encounter the mysteries as they
are present to us in others.
We relive the mystery of Christ in
our lives.

Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1. Matthew 28: 1-10The empty tomb. The angel's message
After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to visit the sepulchre. And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat on it. His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow. The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men. But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, ‘There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay, then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him." Look! I have told you.’ Filled with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples.
Appearance to the women
And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. ‘Greetings,’ he said. And the women came up to him and, clasping his feet, they did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee; there they will see me.’
2. God is the
ultimate
mystery.
3. The Mystery of God
becomes the mystery of
Christ.
4. In Christ God tells about
Himself about His inner life,
about the plan of creation
and redemption.
5. The Father, Son and Holy
Spirit want to dwell in us in
intimate fashion.
6. The Eucharist is the most
intimate act when God
gives Himself to man.
7. God shares His life with us
through grace.
8. Through Christ we share
in God’s life.
9.
Through Him, With Him and In Him
10. We offer a sacrifice of
ourselves to the Father - we
share in His life through
Jesus.
Colossians 1:25-28
Paul labours in the service of the gentiles
It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church, of which I was made a servant with the responsibility towards you that God gave to me, that of completing God's message, the message which was a mystery hidden for generations and centuries and has now been revealed to his holy people. It was God's purpose to reveal to them how rich is the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; it is Christ among you, your hope of glory: this is the Christ we are proclaiming, admonishing and instructing everyone in all wisdom, to make everyone perfect in Christ.
The Ascension
1. Luke 24:50-53
Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.
2. Hebrews 1:1-2
At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; but in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages.
3. Jesus ascended
into
heaven, but He remains,
truly present with us in the
Eucharist.
4. We share in the Mystery
of Christ, it is our hope of
glory.
5. The Mystery of the
Christian life is rooted in the
Incarnation.
6. The inner life of God
became the outer life
of God in Christ.
7. Everything the Father
wishes to tell us is summed
up in the life of Jesus of
Nazareth.
8. Christ has come to perfect
the human and leading it
to graced fulfillment.
9. The world belongs to Christ.
10. Christians should feel at
home in the world of Jesus.
The Descent of
the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
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
appeared
over their heads in parted
tongues.
3. The followers of Jesus
opened themselves to the
Spirit.
4. They were transformed by
Him, and accomplished
marvels through Him.
5. The Spirit is present to us
also.
6. The Holy Spirit is present
to deepen further the
Christic image of our
Christian personalities.
7. The Holy Spirit is present
to make us more alive.
8. The Holy Spirit is there to
stir up desires within our
hearts which thrust us
forward to greater
Christian maturity.
9. The Holy Spirit inspires us
toward a greater love of
God and neighbor and
greater selflessness.
10. The Holy Spirit instills
within us, a desire, which
penetrates quietly but
surely to the core of our
being, a desire, which
makes us want to labor
with Christ, so that God‘s
truth, beauty and goodness
is more manifest throughout
creation.
The Assumption
1. Sing: Immaculate Mary
2. Mary was taken body and
soul to heaven.
3. Mary is our spiritual Mother.
4. Mary is Mother of Jesus.
5. Mary is Mother of the Church.
6. Revelation 12:1-2
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
7. R. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, and there will be an era of peace. The Father chose Mary from all women to be the Mother of God. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus into this world, in the Virgin Mary. How favored this beautiful daughter of the Father, that He chose Mary to be the instrument whereby He sent His Son into this world. This tells us of the great love that the Father has for the Virgin Mary.
8. R. Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit into the Child Jesus through the Heart of Mary. The Rosary is the story of life. For two mysteries of the Rosary, we meditate on the Child Jesus within the womb of His mother; in Mary. The Father loved Mary so much that He chose her to be the mother of Jesus. The Child Jesus in the womb of His Mother receives His life from Mary’s Heart.
9. R. He nursed at the breast of His mother and received His life from His mother. Mary is our mother. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace. From the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus flows this life. Through the Heart of Mary, pierced invisibly seven times, and this life flows to us. God calls us to be an instrument to reach others.
10. R. Let us dwell in the Heart of the Virgin Mary. For she dwells in the Heart of her Son. As deeply as we dwell in her heart and in His Heart, we are saturated deeply in His grace. Who are we that we were given such gifts, that we partake in His divine life?
The Coronation
1. Revelation 12:1-2
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
2. R. In the reading this morning they talked about the dragon appearing. We are living in this world and the forces of satan are pressing down. Mary is the new Eve, and Jesus the new Adam.
3. Mary: You, my dear children are the children of the Light. You are going into battle. Satan intends to devour as many souls as he can. You are My soldiers that I am sending into the fields to spread My light in the darkness. I am filling you abundantly with My love, my motherly love. You are showered with abundant grace. My dear ones, your hearts filled with the fire of the love of God and you will shine as lights in the darkest night. Open your heart and receive all the gifts that are being outpoured to you. Time is urgent. The place is set. Many of my little children will lose their souls and be condemned to the fires of hell. I am begging you to pray. Pray from your heart. Pray with a heart that is on fire for the love of God. My little children will be doomed forever and ever. Pray! My Son Jesus came to this earth to save each and every soul.
4. R. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumphant, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign when our hearts are joined to Their Hearts. Let us pray every prayer to the pure and tender heart of our mother praying in Mary’s Heart. With her love for the Father, all the memories that she has in her Heart of the Son. All the love that she has for the Son and the Holy Spirit. Let us pray from her heart and LOVE with her Heart, love God and love one another with a pure and tender heart.
Jesus:
Pray through the heart of My beloved Mother.5.
Jesus: I come to give you life, that you will have life to the full. Release yourselves. Let Me fill your hearts with My grace.6. Jesus: The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin and your life is over on this earth. My dear ones, your true home is in Heaven. Live your lives in accordance to the Father’s Will. With love, always love. Love God. Love one another. Strive to be holy as the Saints, living ordinary lives, but lives of holiness. Lives of love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. Come to My Heart and I will teach you the ways of My love.
7. Song: I Know Your Love a Little Now
R.
Jesus, teach us the ways of Your Heart. Fill us with Your life, that we may know more Your Ways.8.
R. As I walked I knew the presence of the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit within my heart. I do not want to ever lose that state of grace by mortal sin. I realize this presence within me; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God walks with me, God is in me. In my every prayer I am united with God. My heart is filled with greatest joy. The Almighty God lives in me. Who am I that God loves me so much?9.
Jesus: You, My beloved one are My child. I love you! I love you! I love you! Come and dwell in My Heart. I am waiting and longing to be so close to you. Open wide your heart and let Me fill you with My life. As you go to the Heart of My mother, as you model your lives after My mother, you will grow more and more in holiness. If you love and serve your God as He wants, someday soon you will be in the courts of Heaven in deepest union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit united to all the angels and saints and your hearts will sing. You will know the presence of the Almighty God.10. Sing: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

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 |
