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 new president as he takes office. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

 
 

 

                Given April 25, 2017

                R. God created us with a purpose – God gifted
                us to bring love to others – so others will
                pass it on when we are gone. Love is
                giving – we have relationships first with
                God who is the source of love –

                    We were created and nothing is certain.
                We can try to control things because of
                fear, but isn't that silly – our lives
                are full of unknowns.

                    There are people in the service – now
                giving their lives for us, so we can be
                safe.

                    There are priests who gave their lives
                serving in the Church for us.

                    There are men, like our President,
                Vice President trying to serve for us
                to help us. There are leaders who are
                faithful and loving.

                    There are also bullies who choose
                to hurt people for their selfish pride,
                that choose to be dark and evil
                in their hearts, that hate more and
                more every day and are full of lies
                they tell themselves and pride and
                anger and disobey God and authority
                and punish people who want to stand
                up for what is right – when they
                live in a twisted space they make
                of division and darkness.

                    God is real and in His Divine Justice
                He will judge what we did, but
                God forgives the contrite sinner who
                comes and really wants to stop
                sinning and do His will. God promises
                mercy to those who seek His mercy
                and are sorry for their sins.

                    We can't escape death – we were
                born, we live and our bodies get
                old and die – or get diseased –
                and die.

                    God is all just –

                    God is love.

                    God knows all things –

                To disobey God and hurt others
                maliciously – to cause division
                to watch others suffer for our
                meanness is evil.

                    God is just –

                    God gives us so much –

                    We see beauty God has given
                us. Oh God we thank You for Your
                gifts to us.

                    The fruits of the Holy Spirit are
                joy, love, peace, patience,
                kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
                gentleness, self-control –

                    Bad fruit is impurity, pride,
                jealousy, lust, envy, selfishness,
                greed, anger and punishment
                in fits of holding out to cause people
                to suffer for meanness,
                lust, sexual immorality, idolatry,
                hatred, malice of intent, deceit,
                evil plotting to hurt others and watch
                them suffer under a person's power,
                slander –

                    A person can do a good thing
                with an evil motive to punish,
                control and be mean hurting
                others with it – This is wrong –

                Jesus: To use religion to do evil to men is
                despicable to Me. To deceive others
                in religion to act out anger
                and punishment and meanness
                is despicable to the Heavenly Father.
                Playing a trick of deception for a
                manipulating prideful heart in
                the service of God is debauchery.

 

The Ten Commandments

  1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
  2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
  3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
  4. Honor your father and your mother.
  5. You shall not kill.
  6. You shall not commit adultery.
  7. You shall not steal.
  8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Luke 23: 34

Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.’ Then they cast lots to share out his clothing.

 

                Jesus: God is light and in Him is NO
                Darkness!

                What a fool to display rebellion
                    before God with an evil
                    purpose in one's heart –

                I am the way, the truth and the life –

 

        Prayer of St Ignatius

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the wicked foe defend me
at the hour of my death call me
and bid me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
For ever and ever. Amen.

136. THE FOURTH DAY

        A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS

The one of Christ, our supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature

PRAYER.   The usual preparatory prayer.

window at a former Jesuit Seminary

137. FIRST PRELUDE.   This is the history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.

138. SECOND PRELUDE.   This is a mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.

139. THIRD PRELUDE.   This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.
   

FIRST PART

THE STANDARD OF SATAN

140. FIRST POINT.   Imagine you see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror.

141. SECOND POINT.   Consider how he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.

142. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride.

   The first step, then, will be riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one leads to all other vices.
   

SECOND PART

THE STANDARD OF CHRIST

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .

                Jesus: Indignity with malice of
                    intent will not go unpunished
                    when one is too stubborn to repent.

                 

                April 26, 2017

                R. My dear Jesus thank You for dying and rising
                for me. I love You, Jesus and I thank You for
                all that You have taught us about Yourself
                in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Thank You for
                teaching us about what love is – that love is following
                in Your footsteps, doing the will of God in love.

                    When a person loves they give freely for the
                good of the other to be as the heavenly Father
                created us to be. In loving and giving with
                love parents help their children to give
                and love others in this world. If parents
                teach children to love – the child should
                bring love into the world to others. Love
                is why You created us. You created us in
                Your image and likeness. We are instruments
                to spread the Good News to others. You
                created us with a purpose.

                    So many that went before us gave so
                much to us. Jesus You gave us the Church.
                You gave us Your Word. You gave us
                the Eucharist and Baptism – You
                give us a sharing in Your life and You feed
                us with Yourself. We are here to love and
                to follow in Your footsteps giving and
                loving others.

                    Thank You, Jesus for the priests who
                give us so much and celebrate Mass.
                Thank You for the reminders that You
                are in control and we really can't
                control things. Thank You for all the
                things You taught us in the Shepherds of Christ.

                Mary: My Son Jesus has taught you
                so much. He has taught you how to
                pray. Pray as I told you, yesterday in
                China. Consecrate your country and the
                world to the Sacred Heart and My
                Immaculate Heart and spread the
                Blood of Jesus on all in the country
                and the world at 12, 3, 6, 9. I am
                your heavenly Mother and I appear as
                the Queen of Peace to spread this message.
                Jesus and I come to bring peace and
                love and joy and unity.

                Satan is division, chaos, anger,
                confusion. Satan is evil. Satan
                has tried to block the message My Son
                Jesus and I have given to the world.

                    I am the Lady of Light. I appear
                in light to show you that I am
                with you.

                    My Son died for the souls that
                reject Him. They say "no", No, No
                even while he speaks telling them
                His love for them. You have a free
                will to open your heart and love or
                to be full of pride, seeking power
                and evil.

                    The "wild card" is the free will –
                Do you love God and obey Him and live
                your life being under God, under the commandments,
                working with others doing what God called
                you to do with a disposition of love of
                giving, of being the son or daughter of
                the heavenly Father and living God's Plan
                or with your free will reject God,
                reject the Plan of God, seek power
                over every one, join in evil with a
                corrupt heart and say "Nobody
                will tell me what to do. My power is my god –
                I live to be over every one else."

                    How can a person be so foolish.
                This is God's world and He is Almighty –
                He is the Creator – you are His creatures –
                The devil wants division – division with
                God – division with people and when
                your days are ended – the man who
                forced division and hatred cannot
                expect an eternal reward for his unrelented
                mortal sins.

                    Sin is failing to love God and love
                others. Heaven is for lovers. Heaven
                is where God wants you with Him
                eternally. God commands you to love.
                You cannot be disobedient and reject
                God life-long and at your death
                and not suffer for it eternally –
               
                    The fires of hell are full of the pompous,
                impudent, stubborn people who sinned
                mortally rejecting God and never asking
                for forgiveness.

                    I beg you, as your heavenly Mother,
                as it approaches My 100 Year anniversary
                at Fatima – to not test the hand of
                God with disobedience to God and
                hatred and division toward your neighbors –

                    God is love. The bullies will keep bullying
                in their life-time – bullying the righteous
                men – disobedience to God's authority –
                seeking power – playing tricks to make
                other squirm because of their evil
                and then with a hard heart and the
                look of being violated – they act as
                if they, in their evil, were treated
                unfairly. The devil is real –
                He opposes God's Laws and people
                give into him. They live under the
                standard of satan – they live their
                lives trying to prove the wrong they
                do is right and soon they are
                6 feet under with a tombstone
                over them for their wicked lives –
                You are here for a short time to
                live to please your heavenly Father
                who created you and put you on this
                earth.

                    I am Mary, Queen of Peace, Jesus
                and I have told you to spread the
                devotion to our Two Hearts. The devil
                has blocked my Fatima message
                for 100 years and there was
                World War II.

                    The man of disobedience, anger, grows
                in greater and greater darkness as he
                serves satan – he becomes angrier
                and angrier blaming other men for
                his choices to choose darkness –
                Rejecting God is opposed to the plan
                of the heavenly Father –

                    You were created to open your
                hearts and live in love according to the
                heavenly Father's Plan –

                    A man of evil can ignore any
                accountability for his actions while
                he acts to divide and hurt others

                and do the work of satan – he is
                a man in darkness, his pride grows
                and he becomes more and more
                an instrument for satan as he
                gives into his darkness –
                and loves evil designs – The righteous
                man becomes his enemy and he wants
                to bring him down –

                    God is love – the man who loves
                God – loves men and wants to
                go to heaven – He says "yes" to
                God even in suffering –
                He says "yes" to God –
                    "yes" – "yes" – "yes"

                Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the
                    life.
                    I suffered and died for your
                    sins so you could live a
                    life of obedience and love
                    to the Plan of the heavenly
                    Father and go to heaven
                    eternally in unity and love.

                You are here to show the heavenly
                    Father you are not like
                    Eve who wanted to be equal
                    to God and disobey God
                    because of power and pride.

                The devil goes about the world
                    looking to devour souls
                    and stop the man doing the
                    work of My heavenly Father –

                The devil uses people and they
                    operate for him because they
                    reject love and authority
                    and God's will and become
                    impudent and hard-in-heart.

                My Heart is on fire for love of
                    the men I died for – Spread
                    this devotion to My Sacred Heart
                    and My Mother's Immaculate Heart –

                The man who keeps rejecting God
                    and the 10 Commandments
                    will be sorry for his evil –

                Song: I Am a God of Justice

                The man of evil rejects authority –
                    lives in division – makes chaos –
                    hates his brothers
                    and some are so stubborn they
                    refuse any help from God
                    or anyone to change their
                    evil ways –

                Pray as you have never prayed before –
                    open your heart to God –

                Evil men want righteous men under
                    their feet –

                They want power –

                They want to team up with other
                    "bullies" so they can be
                    on top and show their
                    power –

                All power comes from God.

                I am the way, the truth and the
                    life –

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012)
$ 10.00

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 - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
