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 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.

I am Our Lady of Clearwater.

R. God is direct and
upright - steadfast in
His ways.
Never operate in
desolation, the devil
is confusion,
keep your focus on
Jesus.

We must keep praying.

Jesus came and gave
His all.
Jesus came for sinners.
We cannot clear the
decks of sin, evil
exists, but our faith
and keeping on
confidently helps us
with blessings in our lives.

Blessings, roses are
beautiful, but has thorns.
Most Sacred Heart of
Jesus we place our
trust in Thee.
We pray for the gifts
of the Holy Spirit
infused in our intellect.
Today last year my
sister died.
I read the 7 Sorrows
in her hospice room
and she opened her
eyes and looked at
the ceiling.
I experienced great
peace.

St. Augustine says:
Peace is the
tranquility of order.
We keep our eyes on
Jesus.
That is the right order,
God must be first.

God is a God of
miracles, that is
normal for God.
He knows all our
struggles, we must
keep focused on His
might.
Most Sacred Heart of
Jesus we believe You
are with us in everything,
even in sufferings,
hard times, He
teaches us when it's
hard and we stay
united firm in Him.
God we turn to You
for Your grace and
Your love.
We place our trust in
You.
Fr. Carter's father
and mother was
Joseph and Mary.
Fr. Joe is Joseph,
Mary was my sister.
Think of how St.
Joseph and Mary
kept their focus on
God, relying
confidently moving
on in sorrows.

R. Mary especially, look
at her holding Jesus
under the cross.
Mary waited, on the
third day, Jesus rose
from the dead.
Mary suffered, her
sufferings were
turned to joy!!!!

R. God gives us gifts,
even in suffering.
Babies are so beautiful.
God has the world in
His hands, the world
belongs to Christ.
All is calm and all is
bright, God gives us
a Guardian angel,
God sends angels to
help us, God is light
and in Him is no
darkness. Put your
trust in God!!!!
God watches over us,
His love is there.
A star shown in
Bethlehem over the
Christ child in a
stable with animals.

The Kings came to
worship Him.
Peace on earth, good
will to men.
Jesus says: I am the
way, the truth and
the life.
The rain comes and
waters the earth.
God sends us
blessings even in
suffering.

Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in the Garden

1. John the Baptist said
"I must decrease,
He must increase."
We empty ourselves
more and more so
the Christ-life can
live in us.
2. St. Paul says …I
have been crucified
with Christ, it’s no
longer I who live, but
He who lives in Me.
Galatians 2: 19-20
3. We need to have
order in our lives. We
see obedience on
Jesus’ part always of
the Father’s will.
 

      God must be first.

4. John 15:12
    “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”

5. Jesus suffered for
    our sins, what should
    I do to show my love
    for Him?

6. Jesus is so
    generous, I must
    grow in generosity to
    others.
7. Christ suffered
    great pain for my sins.
    Identify with Christ in
    suffering.
    Jesus was arrested,
    treated so cruelly.
8. Think of Jesus as
    He went to the
    Garden and knew all
    He would suffer.
9. And Jesus sweat blood.

This was at 3:00pm

10. Matthew 26:38
     “My soul is sad, even unto death. Wait here and watch with Me.”
 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Jesus suffered so
    much for my sin.

2. Matthew 14:35-36

Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret. When the local people recognised him they spread the news through the whole neighbourhood and took all that were sick to him, begging him just to let them touch the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched it were saved.

3. Jesus asked them
    to pray and not doze
    off. They slept.
4. Jesus asked 3 times.
5. They kept sleeping.

6. Matthew 20:18-19

'Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man is about to be handed over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised up again.'

7. Jesus’ body was
    beaten raw for our sins.

8. Matthew 26:42

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!’

9. Think of the
    suffering of His Heart,
    so deep.

10. Hebrews 5: 7-9

During his life on earth, he offered up prayer and entreaty, with loud cries and with tears, to the one who had the power to save him from death, and, winning a hearing by his reverence, he learnt obedience, Son though he was, through his sufferings; when he had been perfected, he became for all who obey him the source of eternal salvation

 

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. Jesus was always
    teaching us. Jesus
    showed us in the
    bitter passion how to
    handle suffering.
3. When suffering we
    must keep praying
    and move ahead in
    confidence. Keep on,
    keeping on - serving
    God like when
    everything was okay.
    Focus on Jesus!!!
4. Jesus showed us
    He endured the
    suffering of the
    passion.
5. Like an innocent
    lamb, Jesus was led
    to the slaughter.
6. Study the example
    Jesus gave to us in
    the Passion. Meditate
    on Jesus’ endurance!!!
7. Look how Jesus
    suffered for us, for
    our sins, should we
    not be ready to suffer
    in this life as we are
    called to do to be
    witnesses as
    followers of Christ.

8. So much anger and
    bitterness can come
    from others who
    betrayed or wounded
    us. Some nurse
    bitterness lifelong,
    punishing innocent
    others, like holding a
    trophy they worship -
    a trophy of being a
    victim allowing
    lifelong, bitterness,
    acted out hurting
    innocent others.
9. Look how Judas,
    the chosen apostle,
    lied and deceived
    Jesus. Judas betrayed
    Jesus with a kiss that
    led to the bitter passion.
    Look how Jesus
    teaches us how He
    handled that betrayal
    of Judas.
10. Think of how men
    have betrayed God
    today. God is so good
    to us. God offers us
    forgiveness for the
    penitent sinner.
    Generosity - we are
    called to be loving
    and generous like
    Jesus.
 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. When we meditate
    on Jesus carrying the
    cross, we see how
    we are to endure in
    our calling to be
    faithful to the
    Heavenly Father's
    Plan for us.
2. Jesus shows us
    His commitment to
    endure under all
    duress, to follow the
    Father’s will.
3. How do we follow
    Jesus in following the
    Father’s Plan for us?
4. Heavenly Father,
    You created us in
    love to uniquely
    contribute to the
    building of the
    Kingdom of God.
    Help us to grow in
    the Christ-life as You
    desire in calling us to
    do in our vocation
    today.
5. God calls us to
    help in the work of
    redemption. (Blue
    Book 11). Our lives
    are important to God
    the Father’s Plan.
    Response to God’s Love.
6. We must see the
    big picture in our
    lives, to see how God
    has worked in our lives.

7. Christ endured
    such suffering and
    pain for love of us.
    Love gives for the other.
8. Christ was humiliated
    more and more, then
    forced to carry the
    cross laden with our
    sins, and all the sins
    of the world.
9. Oh God we are sorry
    for our sins. At the
    beginning of Mass
    we tell God, sorrowfully,
    how we are sorry for
    our sins.
10. The Mass is the
    sacrifice of Calvary,
    sacramentally made present.
    In the Mass, we are
    sorry for our sins, we
    want to offer the Mass
    to help make reparation
    for sin, in thanksgiving,
    adoration and petition.
    God we are sorry for
    our sins. We adore and
    love and thank You.
    Please forgive us and
    help us in our needs.

 

The Crucifixion

1. Oh my crucified Lord,
    I love You so much.
2. We are to die to those
    ways not like Jesus
    and rise in Him.
3. The Good Shepherd
    laid down His life
    for His flock.
4. We cannot even
    fathom such love
    Christ has for us.

5. John 19:25-26

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’
 

6. How hard it must
    have been for Mary
    to be near Christ's cross.
7. Mary: I stood beneath
    the cross of my Son and
    my heart was in such
    anguish to watch my
    Son die. Souls are
    being lost despite all
    Jesus did. Please listen,
    life is so short, heaven
    is so beautiful, my
    children. Help me
    reach my children.

December 5, 2022

8. Mary: Jesus loves
    you so much.
    Jesus gave Himself
    on the cross. Jesus
    gives you the priest,
    the sacraments today.
    Oh children, do not
    disobey God.
9. Mary: Life is so
    short! Love and serve
    God and help each other.
    Happiness is in God.

Sing: A Song from Jesus

Sing: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
