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.

Second Sunday of Lent
Genesis 15: 5-12, 17-18
Then taking him outside, he said, "Look up at the sky and count the stars if you can. Just so will your descendants be," he told him. Abram put his faith in Yahweh and this was reckoned to him as uprightness.
He then said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldaeans to give you this country as your possession." "Lord Yahweh," Abram replied, "how can I know that I shall possess it?" He said to him, "Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove and a young pigeon." He brought him all these, split the animals down the middle and placed each half opposite the other; but the birds he did not divide. And whenever birds of prey swooped down on the carcases, Abram drove them off.
Now, as the sun was on the point of setting, a trance fell on Abram, and a deep dark dread descended on him.
When the sun had set and it was dark, there appeared a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passing between the animals' pieces. That day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram in these terms:
"To your descendants I give this country,
from the River of Egypt
to the Great River,
the River Euphrates,
Psalm 27: 1, 7-9, 13-14
Yahweh is my light and my salvation,
whom should I fear?
Yahweh is the fortress of my life,
whom should I dread?Yahweh, hear my voice as I cry,
pity me, answer me!
Of you my heart has said,
'Seek his face!'
Your face, Yahweh, I seek;
do not turn away from me.Do not thrust aside your servant in anger,
without you I am helpless.
Never leave me, never forsake me,
God, my Saviour.This I believe: I shall see the goodness of Yahweh,
in the land of the living.
Put your hope in Yahweh, be strong, let your heart be bold,
put your hope in Yahweh.
Philippians 3: 17 - 4: 1
Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the example you have from me. or there are so many people of whom I have often warned you, and now I warn you again with tears in my eyes, who behave like the enemies of Christ’s cross. hey are destined to be lost; their god is the stomach; they glory in what they should think shameful, since their minds are set on earthly things. But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the working of the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery.
So then, my brothers and dear friends whom I miss so much, my joy and my crown, hold firm in the Lord, dear friends.
Luke 9: 28-36
Now about eight days after this had been said, he took with him Peter, John and James and went up the mountain to pray. And it happened that, as he was praying, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became sparkling white. And suddenly there were two men talking to him; they were Moses and Elijah appearing in glory, and they were speaking of his passing which he was to accomplish in Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were heavy with sleep, but they woke up and saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As these were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, 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 he was saying. As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid. And a voice came from the cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.’ And after the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. The disciples kept silence and, at that time, told no one what they had seen.
Second Sunday of Lent
February 21, 2016
INTRODUCTION
– (Gen. 15,5-12.17-18; Phil,3,20-4,1; Luke 9,28b-36) Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham, lived almost 4000 years ago. God had already inspired him to migrate to the Land of Canaan and leave behind his home in southern Iraq (referred to in today’s first reading as: Ur of the Caldeans). Today we hear God make two promises to Abram. 1) He would have so many descendants they could not be counted and 2) someday his descendants would occupy the entire land of Canaan. As a proof that these promises would be fulfilled, God gave Abram a sign, a sign which consisted of a covenant ritual, a ritual that was a common practice in the culture of those times. Those participating in the covenant could be simply two individuals making a deal between themselves all the way up to a treaty between several nations. This ritual involved cutting an animal in half and then the participants would walk between the halves. It was a symbolic way of saying, “may the same thing happen to me as to what happened to this animal if I am unfaithful to my promise.” Recall that God is often represented as light and/or fire in the Scriptures and in today’s first reading, only God, symbolized as fire and light, moved between the two halves of the animals. The meaning of this was that God was not asking Abram to do anything in return for God’s favor except to always believe God would be faithful to his promises and that Abram would die a rich man in terms of land, offspring and God’s blessings. In the psalm that follows, we express our own trust in God as our light and our salvation.” The ecstatic experience we hear about Abram in today’s first reading is meant to prepare us for the account of Jesus’ transfiguration, when his glory was revealed to Peter, James and John on Mt. Tabor.HOMILY
– The account of the transfiguration in Luke’s gospel begins with chapter nine, verse 28. I want to begin my homily with verse 22, just six verses earlier. In verse 22 Jesus speaks, for the first time, of his suffering, death and resurrection. Then Jesus warns his apostles that their life as his followers will be very challenging. Luke tells us that about eight days after these warnings, Jesus took Peter, James and John up a mountain to pray. I want everyone to notice that the transfiguration is so closely tied in with Jesus’ prediction of his passion and death.How often do we hear a time reference between two events? Hardly ever. So this is important to mention – that Jesus’ transfiguration happened just a few days after he warned the apostles that he would suffer greatly at the hands of the Jewish leaders. On a very mundane level, this time sequence describes our own lives, sometimes things are going well, sometimes life is really the pits. That pattern repeats itself day after day, month after month, year after year our whole lifetime. With Jesus, however, it ends on a positive note. For Jesus, all his suffering and rejection ended with his rising from death to eternal life and his ascension to the right hand of the Father in heaven. Our own lives are not nearly so dramatic, but the pain and the glory are just as real. We have to keep remembering that with Jesus it will end in glory.
When it seems that our life is all pain and misery, we just need to keep God’s promises in mind. We heard the story of Abraham to whom God promised much land and many descendants, but the promise never seemed to happen. Yet it did. All Abraham had to do was to have faith, a faith that really challenged him. In the second reading, Paul assures us that our citizenship is in heaven – our life in this world is brief and we are just tourists here. Our true home, our native country is heaven, and we will be transformed into a glorified body like Jesus’ own risen body and enjoy forever the home that God is creating for us in heaven.
Along with this theme, the sufferings of this life will be transformed into glory just as Jesus’ sufferings would be transformed into glory. His transfiguration was meant to show this to his three disciples who went up the mountain with him. Luke is the only gospel who tells us what Jesus was talking about as he spoke with Moses and Elijah. He was talking about his exodus – his passage from this world to the next. Jesus is talking with us today about our passage from this world to the next. He wants us to trust him. He has great plans for us. He wants us to know God is faithful to his promises; God does not lie.
Jesus said in John’s gospel, “I came that they might have life and might have it fully.” (
Jn. 10,10) God does not lie. God is faithful to his promises. We have to see that especially in the sacraments: in baptism we are born from above, we are called God’s children and indeed that is what we really are. (I Jn, 3,1) In the sacrament of reconciliation, Jesus tells us through the words of the priest: “I absolve you from your sins.” In the Eucharist he tells us “This is my body. This is the cup of my blood which will be shed for the forgiveness of sins.” God does not lie; God is faithful to his promises.Lately, what I have been reading about near death experiences helps me understand more concretely what Jesus has promised. Not everyone has a near death experience and not everyone has a good one, but those who do have a good one report on the sounds, the colors, the friends and relatives they meet, the light that casts out everything that is dark in us and most of all, the desire not to return to this life. It reminds me of Peter who wanted to stay on top of the mountain permanently – the experience of Jesus’ glory that he had was so awesome. I’m not an expert on near death experiences, but when people report a good experience, it gives me an idea of all the blessings that God has promised to us when we love him and serve him. God is faithful to his promises; and God does not lie.

Jesus Appeared on the Crucifix in Gold
R. Crying at the crucifix at St. Gertrude’s Church.
He was so beautiful, adorned in gold and light on the crucifix.
Heard: “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” This was in late 1993.
When He appeared, hanging on the cross, His mouth was moving - December 5, 1996.
His head went from on his shoulder to straight forward. (diagram: two crosses).
Adorned in light and gold - My heart was as filled as when He was transfigured before me. He was covered with light. The words, “listen to Him” ring in my ear.
Jesus appeared to me two times on the crucifix, at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church.
On December 5, 1996 I went to Immaculata to see Mary. Mary appeared on the 5th of the month from July 5, 1994 - October 5, 1996. I did not go to Holy Cross-Immaculata in November. On December 5, 1996, I went there expecting to see Mary and instead Jesus appeared.
February 23, 1997
Sacrifice
R. When I go to Mass I offer a sacrifice. God wants our all. He wants to be first in our life. He asked Abraham to sacrifice his son.
Gen. 22:1-2, 9-13, 15-18:
It happened some time later that God put Abraham to the test. "Abraham, Abraham!" he called. "Here I am," he replied. God said, "Take your son, your only son, your beloved Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, where you are to offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I shall point out to you.
When they arrived at the place which God had indicated to him, Abraham built an altar there, and arranged the wood. Then he bound his son and put him on the altar on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.
But the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven. "Abraham, Abraham!" he said. "Here I am," he replied. Do not raise your hand against the boy," the angel said. "Do not harm him, for now I know you fear God. You have not refused me your own beloved son." Then looking up, Abraham saw a ram caught by its horns in a bush. Abraham took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
The angel of Yahweh called Abraham a second time from heaven. "I swear by my own self, Yahweh declares, that because you have done this, because you have not refused me your own beloved son, I will shower blessings on you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will gain possession of the gates of their enemies. All nations on earth will bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed my command.
R. The Father gave His Son for us. This is how great the Father's love is for us.
When we go to the altar many times we are suffering. We want something really bad, but we know we love God the most. What the Father asks for us is to offer that which we are so attached to as a sacrifice, united to the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. If we offer this sacrifice to Him, the Father will pour out blessings that will be divine blessings, greater than anything we could have here on earth.
The Mass is the perfect sacrifice we offer to the Father, in which God pours out His blessings and we are one with Him and with all others in a profound expression of love. God shares His divine love with us and we partake in an intense way in His divine loving capacity. In order to become one in Him and to feel His love like this, we must surrender ourselves and be open.
He told Abraham to offer his son. God gave him his son back. He wanted Abraham to love God above all things and people.
Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice to the Father. This is the most pleasing sacrifice to the Father. If He gave His Son Who died for love of us, will He deny us when we unite our petitions with Jesus and offer these at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?
He took them to the highest mountain and He was transfigured before them in the greatest light.
Mark 9:2-10
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.
As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what 'rising from the dead' could mean.
R. We go to the altar of sacrifice. The mountain to come, in which so many graces will flow, is the altar of sacrifice where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered through the hands of consecrated priests.
We hear the Father say, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, listen to Him." He is speaking to us. He is the Word. He is speaking in these messages. He is unveiling the Scriptures and speaking to us in plain talk. This is a great gift He is giving to us.
We are transformed in the Mass. We unite with the greatest sacrifice offered in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We have the most perfect sacrifice to offer to the Father when we offer this sacrifice. He gives us great blessings. We die to ourselves, we become white.
We must unite all of our sacrifices to this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being said all over the world. This is the greatest way to magnify all of our offerings - by uniting everything we do as an offering, a sacrifice to the Father in union with His Son.

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 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 — 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 — 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 |
