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.

R. On the sea of life there can
be joy, love, unity, struggles,
wars, sickness, anger,
selfishness etc.

The devil is always chaos,
division, trying to get the
rule for evil.
The devil acts like Pearl
Harbor and he tries to
advance as far as he can
get away with. The devil
wants to win, to rule in
hatred and evil.

The devil wants to come in
surprise and hidden. The
devil attacks the
righteous.

The devil wants a battle
against God to win souls
for darkness.

The devil comes to destroy,
to tear apart, he wants
souls to surrender to him.
It’s a war.
The devil attacks, he uses
those who allow him to use
them for his evil designs.

Can you imagine a sea of
destructive fire. The
Blessed Mother said on
November 5, 2021 in
Clearwater souls would be
lost forever that night.

 

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
 

R. God calls us to obedience
and love. It is a choice to
obey God’s law and to love
or to rebel against God and
serve Satan.

Mary has called the 5th
please pray with me. On
March 3rd The City of
Falmouth flooded.
On March 1st, Mary’s image
head was destroyed.
On March 22nd the corner fell
off the old seminary.
   

Prayer to St. Michael

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

 

R. When we are baptized we are incorporated into Christ's Pascal Mystery of Death and Resurrection.
 

Romans 6: 3-4

You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.
 

R. We continually die in Christ so we can continually rise in Him.
Our participation in Christ's Resurrection will reach its perfection in eternal life.
We begin the life of Resurrection here upon earth in the here and now of human life, in the midst of joy and pain.
Dying to the defects of character in myself is important to live the life of resurrection in our lives.
Live a life of being lifted up and leaving others where we light a candle in the lives of others we touch.
Co-operate with our brothers in love-
strive for unity-
not selfish, self promotion.
Dear God, Help me to live more and more the life of resurrection in my life, dying to the ways not like You, God.

The devil wants to tear apart, divide the house, take people down.
God we pray for new light in our lives, to help us be lifted up and live in holiness.
Praise God!!! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We love You God, we sing Your praise.

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1. Jesus shows us there is life after death. Jesus died on the cross and Jesus rose from the dead on the third day.

2. Oh God, death where is thy sting, Oh God I am turned to You. It is in You I find my salvation.

3. Dear God, Let me never be put to shame. I cry to You day and night, come unto me and outpour Your grace upon me. Oh God, I love You so much. I love You, I love You. Amen.

4. Luke 24: 1-8

On the first day of the week, at the first sign of dawn, they went to the tomb with the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, but on entering they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled about this, two men in brilliant clothes suddenly appeared at their side. Terrified, the women bowed their heads to the ground. But the two said to them, ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here; he has risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee: that the Son of man was destined to be handed over into the power of sinful men and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.’ And they remembered his words.

5. 1 Corinthians 2:9 

“What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;”

6. The scripture says "Blessed are you Father Lord of heaven and earth, You have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom". Matthew 11: 25

7. Jesus died upon the cross, Christ arose from the dead - This is a mystery - this is the Pascal mystery.

8. God has chosen us, we are to turn to Christ with greater generosity, and as baptized Christians to grow in our knowing and loving capacity.

9. God has put His handprint on us in baptism giving to us the virtues of faith, hope, and love. These are the theological virtues. We must pray to God, for the increase of these virtues and we respond to the grace He outpours to us.

10. In praying for this increase of faith, we can see more and more the vision of our heavenly Father.

 

The Ascension

1. Acts 1: 6-9

Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.

2. God has chosen us, we are to turn to Christ with greater generosity, and as baptized Christians to grow in our knowing and loving capacity.

3. We can hope for our eternal salvation and help spread that hope in our lives to others and we can share more deeply in God’s loving activity – loving more supernaturally as we cooperate by responding to the gifts given by God of greater faith, hope and love.

 4. God is with us, God wants us to spread the good news, to turn toward Him in loving union performing good acts according to His will.

 5. Fr. Joe’s book teaches us about love and life in God. Fr. Joe’s book teaches us about the gift of the Mass and the Church, and about salvation history. We live more every day according to the scriptures in peace, love and joy. We know Jesus, we love Him. He is operating in us.

6. We all seek happiness – Happiness is found in God –
    God’s loving self-communication to us will grow in our lives – as we respond in love to Him.

7. God communicates His own life through grace and man in return gives himself to God and his fellowman in loving service.

8. Happiness comes to us in dying to those ways not likened to God and rising in the spiritual life in that image and likeness of Christ.

9. The Ascension calls us to go out to be the persons God has called us in our vocation to help build the Kingdom of God and so doing and living according to the Father's will in love to help to get to heaven, someday.

10. God communicates His own life through grace and man in return gives himself to God and his fellowman in loving service. Happiness comes in dying to those ways not likened to God and rising in the spiritual life in that image and likeness of Christ.

 

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary

1. Acts 2: 1-4

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. 
 

2. These are mysteries of the Rosary.

3. We ask the Holy Spirit to infuse into our intellects wisdom, knowledge, counsel and understanding.

4. Fr. Carter said this about God being the Ultimate Mystery. We are to Respond to God’s love.
   

Excerpt from Response to God’s Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

  “... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

  The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God’s fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

  At the destined moment in human history, God’s self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man’s world. God’s inner self-expression now had also become God’s outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: “I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ” (Col 1:25-28).

5. In baptism we have been given a sharing in God’s life with this elevated knowing and loving capacity.

6. It is up to us to pray to God for the grace to grow to know and love Him more – to be more and more likened to God. We beg the Holy Spirit to help us to love God and serve Him ever more.

Come Holy Spirit Come, enlighten the eyes of Your faithful, we pray.

7. We learn more and more about God, about loving God and loving others as ourselves – God is love – God is the source of love – Holy Spirit be the Guest of my soul. Holy Spirit soul of the Church - Inspire me to know God's will and to live in love.

8. From Fr. Joe:

"When Jesus said the two greatest commandments were about love: love of God and love of neighbor, the Jewish scholar asked Jesus another question: “And who is my neighbor?” You might recall that there was great animosity between Jews and Samaritans, so in introducing a Samaritan into the story, Jesus shows us “neighbor” could be anyone, even someone we despise."

9. From Fr. Joe:

"Sometimes people think when something bad happens to someone it is God’s punishment. Jesus said that’s not always true. He does not try to explain suffering here, but he is telling us not to be complacent, which we sometimes are. We can’t think “well, if nothing bad is happening to me, it must be because I am so good.” He tells us we all need to repent, i.e., to work to be better than we are."

10. May we celebrate our baptism. May we rejoice in God’s gift of love and life given to us, and may we live up to the high dignity with which God has blessed us.

 

The Assumption

2. Mary was taken body and soul to heaven after all she did on earth.

3. The devil hates Mary so he tempts people to not love Mary and have the relationship with Mary that will help them to have a greater loving relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

4. Mary is the singular-vessel from the litany to Mary. Mary was conceived without sin. Mary is the New Eve. Mary is the highest human Person. Jesus is a Divine Person with two Natures: a Divine Nature and a human Nature, Jesus is God.

5. Oh Mary, most beautiful of the human race, you were conceived without sin and chosen by God to bear the Savior of the Human Race. Mary, you are the Spouse of the Holy Spirit and you conceived Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

6. The devil hates Mary, the devil tries to tempt people to overlook the importance of Mary as our spiritual Mother. Mary appeared at Fatima and told us "Russia would spread her errors throughout the world". Our Lady of Clearwater appeared in Florida, Mary tells us again of the necessity of Conversion, of devotion to her Immaculate Heart and Jesus' Sacred Heart.

8. Help us spread these Morning Offering prayers and the rosary meditations and the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ, from Jesus given to Fr. Carter, praying for the priests, the Church and the world.

9. Mary asked for the consecration to the two Hearts at Fatima, and Fr. Carter said: Mary said: Until there is a sufficient number of people consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we won't have peace in the world. The Shepherds of Christ prayers, Jesus told Fr. Carter to spread, do these things and pray for the priests, the Church and the world.
