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.  

 

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the Will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the Will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His Will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and rosary meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ Chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

Today's Readings

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Leviticus 19: 1-2, 17-18

Yahweh spoke to Moses and said: 
‘Speak to the whole community of Israelites and say: 
    "Be holy, for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.

You will not harbour hatred for your brother. You will reprove your fellow–countryman firmly and thus avoid burdening yourself with a sin. You will not exact vengeance on, or bear any sort of grudge against, the members of your race, but will love your neighbour as yourself. I am Yahweh.

 

Psalm 103: 1-4, 8, 10, 12-13

Bless Yahweh, my soul, 
from the depths of my being, his holy name; 
bless Yahweh, my soul, 
never forget all his acts of kindness. 

He forgives all your offences, 
cures all your diseases, 
he redeems your life from the abyss, 
crowns you with faithful love and tenderness; 

Yahweh is tenderness and pity, 
slow to anger and rich in faithful love; 

he does not treat us as our sins deserve, 
nor repay us as befits our offences.

As the distance of east from west,
so far from us does he put our faults.

As tenderly as a father treats his children, 
so Yahweh treats those who fear him; 

 

1 Corinthians 3: 16-23

    Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you? If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy; and you are that temple.

There is no room for self-delusion. Any one of you who thinks he is wise by worldly standards must learn to be a fool in order to be really wise. For the wisdom of the world is folly to God. As scripture says: He traps the crafty in the snare of their own cunning and again: The Lord knows the plans of the wise and how insipid they are. So there is to be no boasting about human beings: everything belongs to you, whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, the world, life or death, the present or the future — all belong to you; but you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.

 

Matthew 5: 38-48

    ‘You have heard how it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. But I say this to you: offer no resistance to the wicked. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well; if someone wishes to go to law with you to get your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone requires you to go one mile, go two miles with him. Give to anyone who asks you, and if anyone wants to borrow, do not turn away.

    ‘You have heard how it was said, You will love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But I say this to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you; so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, for he causes his sun to rise on the bad as well as the good, and sends down rain to fall on the upright and the wicked alike. For if you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even the tax collectors do as much? And if you save your greetings for your brothers, are you doing anything exceptional? Do not even the gentiles do as much? You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.’

 

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time

February 19, 2017

INTRODUCTION – (Leviticus 19, 1-2.17-18; I Corinthians 3,16-23; Matthew 5,38-48) Our first reading is from Leviticus, the third book of the Bible. It has many laws about Old Testament priesthood and Temple sacrifices, but its central message is a call to holiness for all God’s people. If you look up this portion of the book of Leviticus, you will see this call to holiness includes numerous commandments - all of which are summed up in the commandment to love. Jesus expands on this command in today’s gospel.

HOMILY – Our gospel today is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. In an earlier part of his Sermon, Jesus told his listeners they must obey God better than the scribes and the Pharisees do if they want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. That surely shocked his listeners because everyone thought the Pharisees were so holy. Jesus was saying, “to get into heaven you have to be holier than they are!” He then gave several examples of what he meant. Today’s gospel focuses on two examples of the way Jesus wants us to live as his children.

    The first involves the law of talion. Talion is about revenge and retribution. It is most frequently expressed as “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” The English word retaliation comes from the Latin word talion. The law of talion requires that if a person harms another or commits a crime, they can only be punished in proportion to the harm they caused or the crime they committed. Thus if John Doe knocks out one of his neighbor’s teeth in a fight, the neighbor may knock out only one of John Doe’s teeth. The law of talion sounds primitive and cruel. 2000 years before Christ, however, it was necessary for people to live civilly with each other and to keep within appropriate limits a person’s desire to take their revenge. Jesus is saying to not seek revenge and if an evil doer must be punished for some crime, justice should be tempered with mercy. This, of course, is a very complicated issue and it keeps lawyers very busy. Those who have authority, parents, teachers, police, courts of law have to maintain order in society. Even God threatens punishment for evil doing, but God is also willing to forgive if we repent. Jesus also expects us to resist evil. Would Jesus, for example, expect a father who loves and protects his family to open wide his doors to a person who he suspects would harm any of them? I don’t think so. It’s easy to say “turn the other cheek,” but when Jesus was slapped in the face during his trial, he didn’t turn the other cheek; he confronted the one who struck him with the question: “why did you strike me?” “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong.” He stood up for himself.

    He certainly argued his innocence before the procurator. He did not retaliate in a physical way (remember, he told Peter to put away his sword). He also prayed for those who crucified him. There’s no easy answer to every situation that comes along. In my opinion, the only thing I can say about this topic is that seeking revenge is not always the answer to a hurt or an offense. Sometimes holding anger and revenge in our hearts causes us more harm than we can possibly cause the person we’re angry at.

    Second, we should love our enemies. Jesus’ desire is that our love should reach out to others because we are inwardly motivated to be loving people, and it should not be only for people who like us or who do us favors. One line in this paragraph is especially beneficial for anyone to follow. Jesus said, “pray for those who persecute you.” Most of us have not experienced true persecution, but many people every day have to deal with people who drive them crazy. This line can be a very great help in dealing with others who are hard to get along with. Who knows whether your prayers for someone who is a thorn in the flesh for you might not help them to be more pleasant or agreeable? Jesus’ list of examples of how we are to live ends with what seems to be an almost impossible commandment: “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” I could talk a lot about that, but this is getting long so I’ll save this topic for another day. I think it will help, though, if we compare what St. Matthew is telling us with a parallel passage in St. Luke. In Luke 6,36 Jesus is saying: “be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” I think that helps explain what we hear in today’s gospel.

 

                Given February 20, 2020

                R. All the years at the site we had precious
                    statues made by two Portuguese
                    brother-in-laws.
                    A while ago they went back to
                    Portugal and one brother was
                    bit by an Asian wasp and died.

                We have a limited number of these
                    precious painted statues that
                    we will not have again.

                    Mary and Jesus have
                    asked that you come
                    to the Florida site for
                    the prayer service.

                    This is a miracle building,
                many have received graces and
                blessings of healing and
                particular needs both spiritual
                and physical.

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. $15

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. $15

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. $15

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. $15

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD.Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
