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.   

 

February 18, 2023

R. Jesus was wounded
for our sins, Jesus was
put to death.

Jesus was not guilty of
any sin.
Look what they did to
Jesus.
Jesus endured the
bitter passion, Jesus
never gave up. Jesus
always did the Father's
will.
They paraded Jesus
through the streets with
the heavy cross on His
back, they whipped
Him as Jesus carried it.
Mary watched, her
heart invisibly pierced
in her soul.
Oh God we are sorry.

They crucified Jesus on
the hill of Calvary.

Jesus was stripped of
His garments, was this
for all the sins of
allurement and impurity.

His hands nailed for
sins done with the
hands.

Father forgive them, for
they know not what
they do.

Jesus gave us Mary as
our Mother, from the
cross, His thoughts
were for us.

Jesus hung on the
cross three hours to His
death.

Jesus, the Son of God!!!

Mary held Jesus’ lifeless
body under the cross.

 

 
Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in Garden

1. Can you imagine their
    laughing and how they
    treated Jesus when
    they abducted Him
    after Judas betrayed
    Him with a kiss.
2. Our bodies are fragile,
    to pound Jesus,
    chain Him, treat Him
    like a criminal.
3. Judas betrayed Jesus
    with a kiss for 30
    pieces of silver.
4. Jesus loved Judas,
    Judas went behind
    Jesus’ back.
5. They arrested Jesus!
    Jesus, the innocent
    Lamb, led to the
    slaughter.
6. Jesus was beaten
    from the start.
7. Jesus and Mary were
    so close.
    Jesus learned from
    St. Joseph how to be
    a carpenter.

8. From Blue Book III

The Carpenter - June 12, 1994

Jesus: You are he who goes to a carpenter to learn to make a cabinet. You know nothing. You do not have any idea of what you are to do. The carpenter knows exactly. He has a procedure whereby his plan will be accomplished. Every detail must be observed. He is the Master. You do not have the talent. You need talent to do woodwork. If you were given the talent and the directions, you could accomplish this task with such beauty.

I am the carpenter. You are he who needs to be taught. You lack the talent. You need the gifts of the Spirit to accomplish My task! You come to Me in total ignorance. You are open, the Spirit fills you with the gifts. You have everything you need to do My work. The Father created you to accomplish His tasks. You are perfect. You must come open. You must know the plan. The plan is His Will for you. If you do not follow the plan, the cabinet will not be built correctly.
 

9. Jesus knew all He
    would suffer in His
    Divine knowing.
10. Jesus sweat blood
    in the garden.
    Jesus suffered for our
    sins.

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Luke 23: 15-19, 22

...As you can see, the man has done nothing that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.' But as one man they howled, 'Away with him! Give us Barabbas!' (This man had been thrown into prison because of a riot in the city and murder.)

And for the third time he spoke to them, 'But what harm has this man done? I have found no case against him that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.'

2. Jesus was whipped
    by these evil men,
    they were merciless.
3. Envision their anger
    and hatred in their
    hearts.
    They were going to
    whip Him anyway.
4. It was unfair, Jesus
    was sinless, they beat
    Jesus and tore His
    flesh.
5. Jesus withstood it all
    for love of us.
6. Dishonest lies against
    Jesus.
    They spit in His face.
7. They tied Jesus to the
    pillar.
8. Peter was afraid and
    denied Jesus, 3 times!!
9. Jesus loved Peter,
    Peter loved Jesus, but
    Peter was afraid what
    they would do to Him.
10. Jesus stood in a
    puddle of His own
    blood at the pillar.
 

Jesus is Crowned with 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. They mocked Jesus
    as King of the Jews.
3. They spit on Jesus
    and pounded a
    crown of thrones in
    His head.
4. Mary knew Jesus
    was suffering. A
    sword too will pierce
    your heart, oh Mary.
5. Mary knew from the
    prophesy of Simeon,
    Jesus would suffer.
6. Judas hung himself.
7. God created us in
    love. God wants us
    with Him eternally in
    heaven.
8. Jesus paid for our sins.
9. God wants to forgive
    us, we need to be sorry
    for our sins, and ask
    for forgiveness.
10. They released Barabbas
    and condemned Jesus
    to death.
    They condemned Jesus
    to death.
    Jesus was the innocent
    Lamb, led to the slaughter.
 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. Matthew 27: 32-34

The crucifixion

On their way out, they came across a man from Cyrene, called Simon, and enlisted him to carry his cross. When they had reached a place called Golgotha, that is, the place of the skull, they gave him wine to drink mixed with gall, which he tasted but refused to drink.

2. Jesus was covered
    with wounds and blood
    and they pressed on
    Him, gave Him a dirty
    robe and Jesus was a
    bloody mess of
    wounds, a crown of
    thorns.
3. Then the heavy cross
    laden with the sins of
    the world, they forced
    Jesus to carry it.
4. Pain on every inch of
    Jesus' body, blood dried
    and fresh, they forced
    the cross, so heavy on
    Him - He hurt so bad.
5. They forced Jesus to
    move and Jesus fell
    under the cross.
6. They kicked Jesus,
    whipped Jesus, forcing
    Jesus to get up.
7. Pain beyond pain, His
    shoulder felt broken,
    Mary watched the
    slaughter of her
    precious Son.
8. Mary looked into His
    eyes, pain, joy!! Jesus
    saw His Mother. Oh the
    people jeered at the show.
9. Violence, emotion, poor
    Mary, she watched
    them whip Jesus and
    the heavy cross fell
    on Jesus.
10. Mary saw the little
    boy she took care of,
    Mary’s heart invisibly
    pierced watching this
    horror.

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.

 

The Crucifixion

1. Mary and Mary
    Magdaline could hardly
    take this violence done
    to Jesus.
2. Even in the darkness,
    He gave Veronica His
    imprint on the cloth.

3. They nailed Jesus'
    hands and feet to the
    cross, for our sins, Oh
    Jesus, I’m so sorry for
    our sins.
4. Jesus was wounded -
    head to toe, they
    pounded the cross with
    Jesus on it in a big hole.
5. A spectacle, like raw
    meat, the Son of God,
    slaughtered so.
6. Jesus did no wrong.
    Jesus taught about love
    and our everlasting
    reward in heaven for
    those who love and
    serve the Lord.

7. Mary’s Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message

November 5, 2022

8. Jesus laid down His
    life for our sins.
9. They crucified two
    thieves with Jesus, one
    on each side.
    One was sorry.
    One would not repent
    (the bad thief).

10. There is no greater
    love than a man to lay
    down His life for His
    friends.

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

Jesus says:
Love one another as I
have loved you.
I am the way, the truth
and the life.

They stretched My
hands and nailed big
nails in each hand.

R. Mary watched the
slaughter of her Son,
Jesus.
The Mass is the
Sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made
present.

Matthew 26: 26-2

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’

		Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012) $ 10.00 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 - Steadfast to the Son Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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 Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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 Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 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
