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.

R. We must move forward.
We can be our own worst
enemy, how we allow a
circumstance to act out
anger, act out unmerited
victim roles, holding out,
punishment instead of
love for others.
Moving ahead means,
doing God’s will even
when somebody gives us
lemons.
People that are filled by
Jesus, have light and love
inside and that reflection
of God can be seen by
others. This love brings
unity with others,
according to God’s will.
We are instruments of
God in this world. To be an
instrument of God’s love
we must be united in our
hearts to God.
God is light and in Him is
no darkness.
The closer we are to
Jesus, the more we can
be His instruments in the
world.
God is light and in Him is
no darkness.
I saw the sun on some
water. It was beautiful.
I love to see such beauty,
sun, waters, flowers,
babies, children - all so
beautiful.
I think of God and His
beauty in all His creation.
Move ahead, do God’s will.
God is love.
Do not give into
selfishness and self pity.
Jesus laid down His life for
His flock.
Love gives for the good of
the other.
Jesus emptied Himself for
our sins.
Die to self that you can
rise in Him.
St. John the Baptist says:
He must increase, I must
decrease.No man can be an island.
Sister Lucia was the main
Fatima visionary.
The corner at the Holy
Spirit seminary fell off on
Sister Lucia’s birthday,
March 22, 1994.
R. It was her 87th birthday.
She died 10 years later
February 13, 2005.
Pope John Paul II died April
2, 2005.
Mary did God’s will when
carrying a pebble or a
boulder.
Always obey God’s Law.
Prayer and Faith is the
answer.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were
Jews.
God loves us so much.
Without God we are
nothing.
Understanding what
others need.
God chooses those He
wants -
They should respond
with ”yes”.
Response to God’s love!!!!
God call’s,
we should say “yes”.
Mary is the perfect handmaid
of the Lord.
God calls us.
It’s up to us to say “yes”.
Mary and Jesus said “yes”.
It may not be what we
think we want.
The question is
do we respond as God
wants?
Look at Jesus.
Look at Mary.
Do you want God’s will?
Luke 22: 41-42Then he withdrew from them, about a stone’s throw away, and knelt down and prayed. ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’
R. Jesus endured.
Jesus did the Father’s will.
Luke 23:34Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.' Then they cast lots to share out his clothing.
Matthew :27:46And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'
Luke 23:45-46The veil of the Sanctuary was torn right down the middle. Jesus cried out in a loud voice saying, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' With these words he breathed his last.
R. Jesus knew in the Garden
of Gethsemane that His life
would end.
Jesus said ”yes”.
Are we ready to say “yes”
to what Jesus calls us to?
Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
1. Luke 1: 26-38In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.

Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’

The Nativity
1. Luke 2:1-7Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world. This census—the first—took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David’s town called Bethlehem, since he was of David’s House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first–born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living–space.
2. Dear God help us
prepare a little bed for
Jesus in our hearts.
3. Jesus' Heart is soft and
supple and on fire with
love.4. 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.5. We have been given
others in our lives to help
us in our lives.
6. God is love, we are here
to grow in love, we must
want to love, to move on
when we need to, and not
get stuck in destructive
self-pity or untruths,
victim roles.
7. God is with us.
8. God must be first in our
lives, let go to Him,
surrender to Him.
9. There is unity in our
hearts when we unite with
God.
10. Jesus is the way, the
truth, and the life.
The Presentation in the Temple
1. Luke 2: 21-24When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception. And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord—observing what is written in the Law of the Lord: Every first–born male must be consecrated to the Lord—and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.
2. Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet
3. Simeon told Mary and
baby Jesus of sufferings
to come.
4. Mary held all these
things in her heart.
5. A sword too, will pierce
your heart, Oh Mary.
6. Thank You God for
sending Jesus to teach us
about God and be our
Savior.
7. The words "I'm sorry"
can help us heal, God
wants us to forgive and
ask for forgiveness for
ourselves.
To not forgive keeps us
stuck.
8. Jesus showed us pain,
we must have faith that
God can help us, no
matter what our needs.
9. We never stay in the
same
place spiritually, we are
either moving forward or
backward, unless we keep
trying to grow in God's
grace, we will end up
slipping backward.
9. Jesus has taught us how
to live.
10. From Fr. Joe: It's just a
matter of practicing the
ordinary virtues we
learned when we were
young: kindness, humility,
gentleness, patience, etc.Matthew 22: 36-40
‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?’ Jesus said to him, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.’
The Finding in the Temple
1. The Holy Family had
many sufferings.
2. Luke 2: 41-52Every year his parents used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. When the days of the feast were over and they set off home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. They assumed he was somewhere in the party, and it was only after a day’s journey that they went to look for him among their relations and acquaintances. When they failed to find him they went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere.
It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ But they did not understand what he meant. He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.
3. Meditating on the Seven
Sorrows shows us this.
4. Not forgiving is like
sticking a sword in
ourselves.
5. Mary and Joseph had to
look for Jesus.
They found Him talking to
the doctors.
6. God gives us our life to
keep staying united to
Jesus.
7. We have to pray to be
faithful to God, no matter
what.
8. We love God and thank
Him for all He has done
for us, Our Savior.
9. We love God and thank
Him for all He has done
for us, Our Savior,
forgiving and asking to
be forgiven by God and
others.
Lack of Forgiveness keeps
us stuck. Dealing with
forgiveness, gives us
freedom.
Truth - is "God-like".
10. Many people are lost
because they hold onto
their baggage instead of
moving ahead and doing
God's will.
In the Our Father it
says: "forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass
against us. 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 |
