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.

R. God loves all that He has
created.
Because people are created
by the Heavenly Father, like
the prodigal son, God wants
them to come to Him asking
for forgiveness and having
sorrow for sin, seeking to
repair the breach sin causes.
We were created by God so
we would love God and
others and our self as a child
of God.
The devil tempts people to
sin, by division, pride,
jealousy, envy, gluttony, lust,
and slothfulness.
Then he wants them to
argue their sin was right,
fight, stay divided, probably
isolated.
The devil want a person to
think in one dysfunctional
way and refuse change for
Godliness.
A normal person wears a lot
of hats, ie, Mother, wife,
daughter, teacher,
community service, church
service, friends, sports,
hobbies…
God gave us a conscience
and when we do wrong, a
well-informed conscience
tells us to be sorry, apologize,
make-up, co-operate with
other, obey authority, obey
God's laws etc.
The devil keeps telling a
person to rule, mold things in
their image and likeness, the
devil says do the opposite of
God's will and never let
anyone correct you or tell
you what to do.
That is sinful to not have a
good work ethic and abuse
your position and others.
Jesus: Pray to obey God's
Law, when you pray the Our
Father you say… "and lead us
not into temptation".
The devil comes to close
down your social skills, your
heart if you let him,
“A house divided against
itself cannot stand.”
God is love. Man has a
wounded human nature
even though he is baptized
and he is to seek healing and
peace. Seek holiness.
This formation comes in the
heart of Mary, through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
29 Years Ago
From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.
Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your gifts of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord. As we dwell in the Heart of Mary, Your spouse, fashion us more and more according to the Heart of Jesus. end of excerpt
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.
Ref. Matthew 20:26
April 25, 2023
Jesus said: … "for he who
would be great among
you, must be your servant;
…the Son of man came
not to be served, but to
serve…
Come to Me all who labor
and are heavily burdened
and I will give you rest,
Matthew 11: 28
For I was hungry and you
gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave
me drink,
I was a stranger and you
welcomed me,
I was naked and you
clothed me,
I was a prisoner and you
visited me,
I was sick and you came
to me,
You will ask when did we
do this for you?
Who ever does this to the
least of my brethren
He does it to me."
Ref. Matthew 25: 35-45
Jesus says to forgive!!
Jesus tells us to love our
enemies!!
Jesus is not combatal, He is
kind and meek and gentle
in heart.
Forgiveness brings healing
to be able to move ahead
and do what the Father has
called us to do in our lives.
Forgiveness is Divine.
Loving and forgiving, sing
the song!!!

5. Matthew 22: 34-40
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees they got together and, to put him to the test, one of them put a further question, ‘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.’
6. 1 John 4: 17-21
Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.
7. 1 John 4: 7-11
My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love. This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might have life through him. Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate our sins. My dear friends, if God loved us so much, we too should love one another.
8. Mary: Worship God!
9. Mary: Sin offends God.
10. Mary: Remember the last
judgement.The people in heaven were
victorious over the
forces of evil. Sing to
God.
