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.

“Christ has died, Christ
has risen, Christ will
come again.”
R. We meditate on the life
of Christ in the rosary.
Everyday Jesus has
asked me to put on a
Rosary from the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary.
We follow a novena
everyday, a different
mystery,
in Petition,
Thanksgiving, as we
ask for our needs.
These rosaries can be
viewed on your cell
phone while you are
praying the rosary.
These are Rosaries
from the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary, given
now for 29 years.
The rosary really, really
helps me.
I thank God I have the
rosary to meditate on
the lives of Jesus and
Mary.Song: The Rosary Song
February 23, 2023
R. Dear Holy Spirit,
Please infuse into our
intellect Your precious
gifts of wisdom,
knowledge,
understanding, and
counsel.
Dear Holy Spirit please
come and possess my
soul. We love You, so
much God.
Dear Holy Spirit, I love
You so very much.
Dear Holy Spirit help us
to know the Father’s will.
Dear Holy Spirit, fill our
hearts with Your love.
Amen.
Dear Holy Spirit we give
our hearts to Mary.
Amen.
Amen.

Mysteries of Light
The Baptism of Jesus
1. Isaiah 42: 1-4. 6-7Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one
in whom my soul delights.
I have sent my spirit upon him,
he will bring fair judgement to the nations.
He does not cry out or raise his voice,
his voice is not heard in the street;
he does not break the crushed reed
or snuff the faltering wick.
Faithfully he presents fair judgement;
he will not grow faint,
he will not be crushed
until he has established
fair judgement on earth,
and the coasts and islands
are waiting for his instruction.
I, Yahweh, have called you
in saving justice,
I have grasped you by the hand
and shaped you;
I have made you a covenant of the people
and light to the nations,
to open the eyes of the blind,
to free captives from prison,
and those who live in darkness
from the dungeon.2. Jesus is God’s
perfect servant.
3. The sky was thrown
open, the Father
introduced Jesus as His
Son.
4. "This is My beloved
Son, in whom I am well
pleased."
5. God has a plan for our
lives, we need to do the
Father’s will.
6. Jesus did the Father’s
will.
7. We need baptism.
8. The Father recognized
His Son.
9. The Father, Son and
Holy Spirit was there.
10. The Holy Spirit was
seen over Jesus’ head
in the form of a dove.
The Marriage at Cana
1. John 2: 1-10On 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. Mary has powerful
intercession.
3. This was Jesus’ first
miracle of His public
life.
4. Jesus changed water
into wine at the
Wedding Feast at Cana.
5. Jesus is the Light of
the world.6. John 8:12
When Jesus spoke to the people again, he said:
I am the light of the world;
anyone who follows me
will not be walking in the dark,
but will have the light of life.7. Faith is believing in
God, seeing without
seeing with our eyes,
but seeing through
God’s eyes.
8. Our faith gives us a
vision of such things as
why we were created,
how we are to live, how
we are to treat one
another, what is going
to happen after we die.
9. Jesus tells us about
love. Jesus He has
taught us in the
Scriptures.
10. Oh Jesus, we love
You so much.
The Kingdom of God
1. John 18: 36-37Jesus 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. Christ is our King and
we owe Him praise and
thanksgiving.
3. God calls us in our
vocation to help build
His Kingdom.
4. God the Father has a
plan for our lives.
5. God has all the power.
6. We are under God.7. First Commandment
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
8. God has the power to
tell us how to live and
how we are to act.
9. But God gives us a
free will, to choose His
plan, or reject His plan.
10. Sing: The King of Glory
The Transfiguration
1. Mark 9: 2-8Six 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. God is light, and in
Him is no darkness.
3. Jesus showed Himself
transfigured to Peter,
James, and John on
Mount Tabor.
4. God wants to take us
to heaven with Him
forever, some day.
5. God loves us so much.
6. This is a great feast,
because He showed
them Himself
transfigured.
7. The voice of the Father,
was heard.
8. "This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well
pleased, listen to Him."
9. We are to listen to Jesus.
10. Jesus is the light of
the world. These are
the mysteries of light.
The Institution of the
Eucharist
1. Mark 14: 22-25
And as they were eating he took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to them. ‘Take it,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them, and all drank from it, and he said to them, ‘This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many. In truth I tell you, I shall never drink wine any more until the day I drink the new wine in the kingdom of God.’
2. A Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
3. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
4. Song: I Love You Jesus
5. Song: Your Presence Pervades my Soul
6. Song: A Song from Jesus
7. Sing: I Am your Sacred Heart
8. Song: Oh Lord I am Not
Worthy
9. Jesus is truly present
in His Divinity and
humanity in the
Eucharist.
10. Song: A Priest is a Gift from God
From The Mystery of Christ Homily Book p. 84
I have a story I would like to share with you to help connect the Eucharist with Christ’s continuing presence. Seven years ago I was called to Hospice to be with one of our parishioners who was dying. I took off in my car and as I pulled onto Spring Grove Avenue from Crawford someone, driving illegally, ran through the red light. I think their car was going 40 or 50 miles an hour. Their car hit my car right in the driver’s side door. My car ended up turned around on the other side of the street and it was totaled. But I was not hurt. Before I left church to go to Hospice, I got a host from the tabernacle so I could take Communion to our parishioner. That host was in a small container in my left pocket between me and that speeding car. You can call it luck or providence. I believe in providence and I believe many of the things we call coincidences are simply incidences of God choosing to act anonymously. I believe God was literally my rock and my fortress that day acting as a wall of protection between me and a car coming at me 40 or 50 miles an hour. The Eucharist is Jesus, the Son of God, who remains with us and helps us on our way until we can be with him forever. May you always remain united with him and know his care and his love. Amen.

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 |
