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.   

 

May 26, 2023

Jesus did nothing, Jesus
committed no offense.
Jesus was condemned to
death.
How did He withstand this?
It is love.
God is love .
John 3:16
God so loved the world that
he sent his only begotten
Son
Love of the Father
Love of the Son
Love of the Holy Spirit.

Without love, it is
impossible
To do what God calls us to
With love, it is the only Way

Love is a force.
Love has its source in God.
Oh, God, give us the grace
we need most.
Oh, God, give us the grace
we need most.
Oh, God, give us the grace
we need most..
Fill us with your love.

When we do not love, there
is a resistance in us.
God created us in His
image and likeness.
God is love.
To be full of self,
is a resistance within one’s self.
God created us for more.
He wants to dwell and
operate in us.
We were created to love
likened to God.
Love gives.

Why are we afraid to love
if God created us to be
loving?
The angel Gabriel told Mary
to be not afraid.

In the clamor of the world,
the confusion, Satan makes
in the world, we hear the
words of the Hail Mary.
Mary crushes the head of
the serpent.

     need oneness with Jesus,

     and live holy lives, obedient
     to our Father.
    God loves us and sent His

    Heart.

    with a lance on Calvary and
    blood and water came out.
7. Blood for the Eucharist-
    Water for Baptism.

    invisibly pierced with a sword.
9.The Mass is the sacrifice of
   Calvary, sacramentally
   made present.
10. Mary did the will of the
     Father whether asked to
     carry a pebble or a boulder.
     Mary loved the will of the
     Father.


Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1.When Jesus was 12 years
   old they took Him to the
   Temple.
2. Jesus was lost for 3
    days.
3. Jesus was always doing His Father’s
    will always.

   Mother, Mary is our model.
5. Mary loved the will of the
    Father.
6. To grow in the spiritual
     life we need to obey the
     Father’s will and live in love.
7.We pray to Mary our
   Mother to accept God’s will
   for us in our vocation and to
    live as the Father calls us to
    be.
8. God gives us a free will.
    Eve did her own will- she
    wanted to be equal to God.
    Mary lived in the Father’s
    will.
    Jesus is one in the Father’s
    will.
    The New Adam and New
     Eve: Jesus and Mary.
9.Mary has powerful
   intercession. We should
   love Mary our spiritual
   Mother.
   Mary crushes the head of
   Satan.
10. When a person is
     struggling with
     disobedience, they should
     go to Mary who always did
     the Father’s will, in love.
     A person in pain should
     turn to Mary.
     When struggling, pray to
     Mary.
     In praying the Rosary we
     focus on Christ, and Mary
     helps us ponder these
     truths in God in our heart,
     the Holy Spirit helps us
     have knowledge and
     wisdom of the mysteries if
     we ask Him. The Holy Spirit
      is love, is the Spouse of
     Mary and third Person of
     the Trinity.

		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. $10

		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. $10

		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. $10

		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. $10
