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.

Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
R.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.Love, love, love.
God is love, in
Him is no darkness.
Novena to the Infant of Prague
O Jesus, who said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted.
O Jesus, who said, "All that you ask of the Father in My Name He will grant you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your Name that my prayer be granted.O Jesus, who said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
R.
Jesus help me, come to my aid.I love you, my beloved Jesus.
Think of the rain.
It sounds so good. Relaxing.
The rain waters the earth and helps things grow.
Love brings joy.
Love finds a way.
It’s spring here and the trees are so beautiful in bloom.
The wind is blowing and even the tall trees bowing and bending in the wind.
The trees high above have little leaves ready to sprout into full beauty.
Little potential leaves against a blue-gray clouded sky.
Wind, rain, clouds, beauty, wet, blossoms.
God gives us spring rains, clouds, trees, flowers, birds that sing and rain and sunshine needed for things to grow.
Carpets of green, beds of flowers, birds to sing a solo.
Wow, God is good
to us.
I have been learning since I was born about the world.
I have been
learning about God.
When you love someone you want to know all you can about your
beloved.
So beautiful my God, just a little taste of what You have planned for those who love and serve You.
So beautiful my
God.
So beautiful beyond our comprehension.
Love, trust, communication.
God communicates to us, but we must empty ourselves to receive Him.
Love empties oneself to be filled by God.
Jesus emptied Himself to His death on the cross.
God has a plan.
He teaches us in our lives.
We must empty ourselves and be filled by Him.
The rain waters
the earth.
The sun helps things grow.
Can a plant live without water and sunlight?
We can be filled more and more of God, but we must empty ourselves to let Him in.
How about the person that is full of self?
Surrender to God.
Our lives are but
a single breath when compared to eternity.
Like a single sand on the shore compared to the ocean.
Some are afraid like Eve that she needed to be equal to God.
How can you fill a hole full of dirt?
God is the light.
He gives more
light.
He is the source of light.
Remember man, though art dust and until dust thou shalt return.
The wise man knows when to let go.
Life is so short,
but you don’t know what you have a lot of times until you lose
it.
The wise man knows God has a plan for our lives.
Count your
blessings every day.
Fr. Carter taught a class Christian Life and Celebration.
Life is to be lived every day to know, love and serve God.
To give honor and glory to God, even in the suffering, count the blessings in the little things, celebrate the beautiful people God has in our lives.
Do unto others what you would do to Jesus.
See Jesus in others and love others as yourself.
When we love others, we are loving Jesus.
Prayer is love.
Jesus:
It is in giving, you receive.R.
Our love is what’s important.Count your
blessings - It is in giving we receive.
People that don’t want to give what they should, only focus on
how much they will lose when they give.
Look what Jesus gave for us.
Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist.
It is in giving we receive.
God has a plan.
Surrender to God.
The victory is in this.
Let go, let God –
He knows everything, the very hairs of our head are counted.
Jesus:
It’s not based on your busy work.It’s based on obedience to God’s will.
R.
God has put us here with a plan, but we can do our own will or be obedient to God’s will.Our Father in heaven loves us so much He sent His only begotten Son to pay for our sins.
Only one thing is important - eternal salvation.
Sin takes us from eternal salvation.
Love is the gift
of self, Jesus showed us this.
God is love.
Life is short. We are here to prepare.
We prepare by celebrating life according to God's plan.
This is the
victory.
Obedience to God.
Sing:
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.Can you imagine how Jesus suffered for us in His perfection.
Jesus has given us 24 hour adoration before the exposed Eucharist in China.
Jesus has given us the Virgin Mary building.
Jesus has allowed us to circulate 750,000 of Fr. Joe’s books over 13 years.
Jesus gave us the Shepherds of Christ prayers, the Holy Spirit Novena, teachings on the Mass.
How differently 2 people can see things.
Grateful.
Thanking God.
Loving God.
Or never happy.
Never growing.
Never loving.
God commands us to love.
That is how we prepare for heaven.
Being stubbornly selfish is far from being empty, loving, surrendering, obedient to authority.
God wants love and obedience to His will.
Love isn’t love until you give it away.
R.
Thank You God for beautiful friends.I love you.
Thanks for the prayers.
Thank You Jesus for your great gifts to us.
Mary our Mother
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son.Anyone who loves Jesus, loves his brother.
Jesus is love.
R.
Jesus sweat blood in the Garden for our sins.Jesus was whipped raw for our offenses against others and God.
Mary:
Anyone who loves Jesus loves his brother.Jesus is love.
Love finds a way.
Love is from the heart.
God wants you holy.
R.
The Two Sanctifiers - The Holy Spirit and Mary.Jesus:
I was crowned for the sins of pride.
Jesus:
Do you walk up front of God because you need to lead?There are very few chapels that have the Eucharist exposed 24/7
I am the Son of God no less present than when I walked the earth.
Mary:
I am the Handmaid of the Lord.Jesus was the suffering servant.
R.
And I had a vision of the Church full and the Eucharist exposed with a red carpet and blue ceiling in 1997 before anyone ever went there but me and Fr. Carter
R.
And I was told before Mary ever appeared in Clearwater December 1996, 25 years agoWhen her head got
knocked off,
Jesus appeared.
Now Mary still appearing not as she once appeared.
Mary
The sanctifier.
22 Years Ago from Jesus
February 8, 1999
R. If communities are to be formed where people interact most intimately, they must live in the Father’s will. In order to have intimate interaction amongst people, there must be that willingness to give, to want that purity of intention of living every moment according to the Father’s will. The question is, are you the king of your heart or is the Sacred Heart of Jesus the King of your heart? Do you wish to sit on His throne or are you coming in His name?
Many people today are willful, they wish their will be done. They see things from their perspective. In a community, all must work to serve God. Do you answer as Mary when she said,
Luke 1:38
Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.
R. …or do you answer as Eve when she listened to the devil that prompted her?
Genesis 3:4-6
Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’
R. …and she ate.
The devil tempts us to do our own will.
We have a group, the Handmaids of the Good Shepherd. They are to live as Jesus wants them to live. They are to be special spouses of the Lamb, obeying God’s will, living to serve Him.
Today the emphasis is on doing what we want. Jesus wants us to live as He showed us how to live. He gave His life to His death on the cross doing the Father’s will.
See Jesus in the garden, see Him sweat Blood, see His anguish and pain.
Matthew 26:39
And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.’
R. We also have a group, Servants of the Good Shepherd. The people in the Shepherds of Christ Movement live to serve the Good Shepherd. We live to come in His name to spread the consecration to Jesus’ Heart and Mary’s Heart to the world.
John 10: 1-6
‘In all truth I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a bandit. He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gate-keeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognise the voice of strangers.'
Jesus told them this parable but they failed to understand what he was saying to them.

R.
Do you miss the beauty of God's creation and the message He gives in giving His creation to us?God is good all
the time.
Help me to see through God’s eyes.
Help me to grow in life - Jesus paid a big price for this.
Help me to always see the amazing gifts in God’s creation. Help me to always seek renewal and strength and light and truth GOD.
Help me to see what is above!!
God loves us.
He knows our weakness.
The devil is real.
The battle is with him, but God allows us to suffer to bring us
to greater life in Him.
Don’t throw back in Jesus' face the opportunity to suffer as He may allow us in daily trials we can endure in love and patience.
Jesus, I love You, please help us to please You in our daily lives.
Help us to be obedient to You, God.
Jesus shed His
blood for our sins to bring us to greater life in Him - He loves
us with unfathomable love.
No matter what Padre Pio did, men fought the things God did through him.
Then the devil attacked him regularly.
The price was dear many saints paid for doing Christ's work,
Usually from some the saint loved dearly.
Holiness is doing God’s will in love.
The saints suffered.
Do you think you do not have to suffer?
What did Christ show us?
Saints endured many conflicts so austere.
Padre Pio suffered, but he was grateful for all God gave him.
Padre Pio endured the wounds of Jesus 50 years.
God is love and in Him is no darkness. Jesus loves us to His death on the cross.
Jesus comes to us Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.
We receive the Son of God in Holy communion.
The Mass is the
sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.
R.
The people that hurt us are the people we love many times.We as instruments of Christ must learn to forgive.
Jesus showed us forgiveness.
Jesus remember me
when you go to your kingdom!
Jesus:
I am the Good Shepherd I laid down My life for My sheep.Oh My child, pray to the Father in My name.
I love you so much.
Have faith, My child.
I love you.
Jesus
R.
Love finds a way.Love means giving.
Do you surrender yourself to God?
Do you love God and others?
Who is first in your life?
Jesus?
R.
God shines His light in the darkness.But we must seek the light.
R.
China Retreat April 10th - 13thWe pray for you.
Please stay united
with us.
Pray through intercession of
Fr. Carter
Our Lady of Clearwater
and Padre Pio.
The Battle is with satan.
Satan is disruptive, aggressive.
When a person is possessed they can foam from the mouth.
They can let satan control them being like a stone, thrashing about - an exorcism is needed by a priest.
So many gifts God has given us.
What are the promises He has asked us to make?
R.
Fr. Carter, Our Lady of Clearwater, Padre Pio, John Paul II intercede for us.

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 |
