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.

R.
Do you feel the presence of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
The Father, has a plan for us.
God wants this relationship with us.
We are here to grow in our intimacy
with God.
In this Lent we can spend time
alone with God and think of the
presence of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit in our heart.
Jesus: Be alone with Me, close
your eyes, think of the presence of
God, All three Persons, dwelling in
your heart.
Meditate, empty your mind, think
only of the presence of God. Make
a spiritual communion, now.
Take time, be alone with Me.
Everyday during Lent, morning and
night, empty your mind, make a
spiritual communion, think of God’s
presence with you, close your eyes,
be alone with Me.
This will help you to grow in God’s
presence all day, the more you do
this, all thru Lent.
I went into the desert to pray for
40 days and be with My Father,
practice this every day during Lent.
Being alone with God. Knowing
My presence!!!!

Dear Holy Spirit
Come enlighten our hearts.
The Holy Spirit moves with gentle
touch, like the wind.
Dear Holy Spirit breathe in our soul,
I love You so much, Holy Spirit.
Dear Holy Spirit infuse in my intellect
wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
The Incarnation goes on in us.
Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our wills,
outpour Your love.
Dear Holy Spirit come and possess my
soul.
Amen.
God is love.
We pray to understand more deeply
God's love, but we cannot fully
understand this here below.
God's love is the ultimate mystery.
Can we understand the interior life of
the Trinity?
Can we understand and know the
Persons of the Trinity and understand
the oneness of God.
God's love is a mystery.
Sing: This little
light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine!!
♫ ♪♪
The light shines in the darkness.
Jesus is the Light of the world.
Jesus: My
Heart is a burning flame
on-fire, for love of you.

Mysteries of Light
The Baptism of
Jesus
1.
Mark 1: 9-11
It was at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’
2. Jesus shows us
life is short.
3. The scripture on Martha and
Mary helps us know, we should
choose the better part.
4. The heavens were thrown open,
we hear the voice of the Father.
5. Jesus told us to focus on the
Trinity, this Lent.
6. We usually attribute creation to
the Father. Jesus is the Redeemer.

of Jesus.
8. This began Jesus’ public life.
9. Jesus lived the private life for
30 years.
10. Jesus shows us how He obeyed
His Father’s will, giving honor to
His Father.
He gave His Father great honor in
His obedience accepting the cross.
The Marriage at
Cana
1.
John
2: 1-10
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’
2. Jesus calls His
Mother: “woman”.
Mary is the New Eve.
3. Jesus is the “New Adam”.
4. Jesus performed the first miracle
of His public life at a wedding.
5. Jesus changed water into wine.
6. Mary has powerful intercession.
7. The Church is the bride of Christ.
8. We see nuptials.

Himself, truly present in the
Eucharist.
10. God dwells in the graced
baptized soul, think of presence.
The Building the
Kingdom of God
1. John
18: 36-37
Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’
2. Jesus is our
Redeemer and Savior.
3. We were created in the image and
likeness of Jesus.
4. We must die to the ways, not like
Jesus and be more like Christ.
5. When we are weak, we are strong
in Jesus.
6. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the
life.
7. What we do here below can help
build the family of our Heavenly
Father.
8. To be like Jesus - we must obey
God’s will, not have our own
agenda and argue with just
authority to prove we are right,
to disobey.
9. Jesus is the suffering servant. We
were created to know, love and
serve God and thereby attain our
eternal salvation.
10. Sing: A Song from Jesus
The
Transfiguration
1.
Mark 9: 2-8
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.
2. The voice of the
Father was heard.
3. John 17: 20-23
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.

John saw Jesus

The Institution
of the Eucharist
1. Luke 22: 14-20
When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’
Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.
