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.

                May 20, 2018 - Pentecost

                R. Love is beyond any explanation –
                It is the love of God that fills
                the soul and it is His love
                in us as He possesses our
                soul.

                    It is an energy that is unexplainable,
                it is a rush of selflessness that
                goes out to others. It is a vision
                inside that is not hampered or
                restricted by selfish enclosure –

                    The love of God in the heart
                of man paints a picture of
                light and beauty. It lays the rolling
                hills with a beauty of comfort to
                the eye as one gazes on the fresh
                green wonder and beauty of its
                vision.

                    Love sees deep into things –
                Seeing the Creator's hand in
                the gift given. The baby is
                beautiful – the child of 2 a
                wonder, the body has a beauty
                how it functions and the
                uniqueness of every person and how
                the plan of God was written in
                them to be an instrument for
                the building of His Kingdom –
                the love that only they can uniquely
                give, the purpose of their unique
                personality and talents –

                    God created us in love, to
                be love to others. God created
                us to give Him love. God
                created us because He saw
                in us beauty and purpose and
                purity in His image and
                likeness.

                    God willed we existed to be,
                and He created us in love,
                uniquely and with purpose.

                    God knew us before we knew
                ourselves, or how we got here,
                and what we would be like.

                    Can anyone really see
                themselves as they should in
                the eyes of the Creator. Do we
                know the mind and heart of
                God? Do we know the depths
                of love? God is love. How
                can we define this?
 

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.

 

                R. We seek that relationship
                with our heavenly Father – who
                has a plan for us, who loves
                us like a Father, who wants
                us to be all He uniquely wants us
                to be – living and being with
                our brothers in harmony and
                co-operation – blending and
                being – making our mark in
                our unique expression God
                wants of us –

                    Beauty – God created us
                with a unique beauty –
                We may have eyes and noses
                and a mouth and ears,
                but there is the unique
                way God has created our hearts
                to love – to give – to contribute
                in unity, in love with Him
                and others as no other person
                can do.

                    The message God wrote on
                our soul, in our heart,
                in our future, with others –
                to work with – in our
                vocation – in our being
                who we are – so special
                and beautiful created uniquely
                by the hand of God!

                    God created us and God
                has a plan for us. God
                created us in His image and
                likeness, but we have a wounded
                human nature because of the
                sin of Adam and Eve.

                    God has given us baptism –
                God gives us a sharing in
                His Divine Life – God opens
                the supernatural world to
                us, God elevates our knowing
                and loving capacity in baptism –
                God gives us the supernatural
                virtues of faith, hope and
                love and God dwells in
                the graced baptized soul.

                    God has given us this sharing
                in His life in baptism and
                Jesus feeds this life with
                Himself in the Eucharist –

                Sing Song: I Am the Bread of Life

 


 

                R. Love  

                    Love is in the hearts of
                those who say "yes" as
                Mary said "yes". Mary
                perfect disciple, Mary
                perfect handmaid of Jesus.
                Mary is so beautiful –
                Mary is sinless –
                Mary is love –
 

   

                R. Can you comb the depths of a
                heart filled with the love
                of God?

                Do you know that God
                abundantly wants to
                fill our hearts and souls
                with greater life in Him?

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993 

Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

end of May 13, 1993

 

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. We put on Christ. We imitate
                Christ, we live in Christ,
                we live the Christ life. We
                follow in His footprints –

                    The Holy Spirit moves
                in us like a Divine breath –
                The fire of God's love burns
                in us. The Holy Spirit is the Divine
                Artist painting the image of
                Jesus on our soul if we
                open ourselves and beg
                Him to come and possess
                our soul.

                    We are docile to the Holy Spirit's
                touch – we are obedient to the will
                of our heavenly Father –
                We dwell in the burning
                love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

                    We surrender to God. We give
                God ourselves. We are faithful
                to God we obey the Commandments
                of God, we live by the Word –
                We receive the gifts of
                being members of the
                Body of Christ.

                    We put God first in our
                lives always. Our love for
                God is so real – we do
                not want to offend Him –

                    We seek to mature more and more
                in this supernatural love
                capacity God has given to
                us in baptism and is
                abundantly filling us more
                and more with His life in
                us as we seek Him –

                    Life is not life if
                it is not rooted in Him.

                    Come Holy Spirit Come –
                Come and possess my soul –
                Come Holy Spirit move in me as I
                surrender more and more to
                Thee – Let me be silent
                so I can hear Your voice,
                Holy Spirit, in me. Bring the
                light of God's love in my
                soul. Help me to grow
                in greater purity. Embrace
                me with Your love and
                help me to be Your instrument
                of love in this world.
                Give to me Your virtues
                and gifts, Holy Spirit –

                    Breathe in me, Holy Spirit –
                that I live in God and
                hear His voice.
 

                From the Prayer Manual
 

Holy Spirit Prayer

    Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.

   
 

 

                R. Help me Holy Spirit to put on the
                mind of Jesus. Let Your
                movement in me be as
                a gentle breath – so I
                can hear Your voice
                in me. Let this purity of
                heart and soul prepare me
                so I can be more deeply
                united to You in my
                heart and soul. Let me
                be open to Your inspirations.
                Let my soul be greater
                one with God –

                    Love of the Holy Spirit comes
                when we surrender our
                selves to Him to let Him
                possess our soul –

                    It is Union – like the message
                Jesus gave us May 13, 1993
                25 years ago –

                    I want to be one in you
                and you one in Me –

                    We see John 17.

John 17: 20-26

I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
    will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
    and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
    it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
    you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
    that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
    as you have loved me.

Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
   may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.

   

                R. This is infinite love –
                this is love in Him –

                    Can you even fathom the
                mystery of God's love – the
                interior life of the Trinity –
                Fr. Carter wrote in Response to
                God's Love
.

 

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).
 
end of excerpt

 

                R. Love –

                    The Holy Spirit is the Guest
                of our soul. We are docile
                to the Movement of the Holy Spirit
                in us. The Holy Spirit pours the fire
                of God's love into our soul.
                We receive love itself.

                    The Virtues of Faith,
                Hope and Love are theological
                virtues – only God can
                give us an increase in
                these virtues we received
                in baptism, but we must
                be open to God, allowing God
                to come in us, co-operate
                with the grace given and
                the increase of these virtues
                working in us by the hand
                of God.

                    Being faithful to God is
                paramount, be trustworthy
                in how we conduct our
                lives, being predictable
                to walk in the Light –
                in the ways of God – to
                be obedient to God in our
                lives.

                    Obedience to the will of God –
                is paramount – obedience is
                practiced – God is a God
                of order and structure –
                He is unchanging – God
                is trying to teach us –
                We must be listening, learning,
                walking the journey God
                has here below –

                    Obedience is practiced –
                Obedience must be cultivated
                in the soul –

                    Lawlessness is not of God!!

 


 

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

 

                R. The Holy Spirit comes and moves the
                soul – the soul is waiting
                God's favors - seeking
                perfection in loving as God
                loves in us –

                    Come Holy Spirit come and possess
                my soul –

                    God wants to penetrate
                our hearts with the fire
                of His love –

 

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusFreedom

March 2, 1994
At Cathedral After Communion

Jesus: I want you to love Me as I love you. If I asked you to lay down your life for Me, you would give this freely of yourself. I need this surrender from you that you put Me above all things--not some things, all things. I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any gods before Me--not your husband, your children, your life, your house. I want your total surrender! I am not asking you to give these things up. I am asking you to love Me more than any of these things, that you are willing to give them up for Me!

    This is freedom. When your love is for Me and Me alone, no one has any control over you. You live for Me and I am Almighty. I love you with the most ardent love and you know all that comes from Me is from Him Who laid down His life for you.

    Do you love Me? Would you lay your life down for Me? If you love, you give of yourself. Do you love each other? Do you give of yourself to one another or do you have relationships that give to you? This is not love. Love gives from the heart. Love is for the good of the other. I gave My life for you that you might live. Follow the Master. I did not die for any of My own gratifications, I died to show you how I loved you! I gave My only life for you. I love you this much!

    I call you to love. Love is action from your heart. Do you love Me this way or do you just do busy work and call it love?

    To learn about love you must come and be with Me. Sit and let Me teach you My ways. I sit with My red garb, covering My white tunic, you at My feet and I teach you ever so sweetly each day. You are My beloved ones. I died for you. I give you this same love today. Love gives to the other. Do you give this kind of love to Me and your brother or do you ask what others and I will give to you?

    You do not know love if you do not come and you are not taught by Me. I am the author of love. I teach the mighty lessons of love. I died out of love for you.

    You cannot love intimately if you hold back. To love Me, you must totally surrender, surrender all you hold on to. People do not love Me because they want to hold back. If you want intimacy with Me, you must be willing to surrender your all to Me.

    Are you willing to do this? This is where the power is. When you give your all, I possess your soul and I am all powerful. I want your all, not little pieces you stingily let go of. I want your all. Then you will have an intimate union with God. Then you will live in His love and be powered by His might. Then you will be free. I will operate you and you will be united to Me as one. What power, God dwelling within your breast and acting from your soul! Become selfless and unattached to anything. I am God and you shall not have any gods before Me!  end of excerpts

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical 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 Liturgical 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 Liturgical 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 Liturgical 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
