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.

Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life.

The devil is real and the more a person lives in deception the more warp is their sense to see right and wrong.

I have given you the prayer, come to me Lord and possess my soul. But the devil keeps after the soul enjoying the power of trickery and he comes unannounced.

The devil does not appear in red tights and a pitch fork.

He uses people who give into him in pride, jealousy, envy, buried anger and lies.

The heart is made in the image of God to live in God, in love.

Love is giving for the good of the other.
Love dies more and more to self and becomes more the soul waiting and wanting God’s will,
Worshiping God with great devotion to God.

Relationship in deepest love in the heart of ever greater love.
Living in the truth and loving deeply as God loves through them.

God is light and in God is no darkness.

Mary: My whole life as perfect Handmaid of the Lord was to live the heavenly Father’s will in love of God.

I loved the will of God in all my actions.

My desire to never offend God.
Living in every action in truth, all for the honor and glory of God.
Oh my children, Satan is the great deceiver.
Satan comes and tempts people who give into power and the deadly sins.

They love the power, the enjoyment of deception.

This can take a big toll on them as they become more and more hard of heart.

They can become so numb in their actions and lack the tenderness those rooted in the Heart of Jesus have.

Only one thing is important, Sin takes you from eternal salvation.
The commandments are Laws given by God you are to obey.
You can’t ignore God’s Law.

Satan tempts a soul and lies to them about sin.

The person - hard in heart can become, over years, ingrained in lies and filled with darkness and deception.

Satan uses a thirst within that person for power over innocent others if they let him.

Power and the art of deception can become a way used by Satan to manipulate innocent others.

My children, God is love.
The Heart of Jesus is the tenderest of hearts.

When Satan uses a hard, hearted man, he is steeped in deception and darkness.

You have a free will to obey God and love in giving love to God and others.

Satan is hate.

There is not a drop of love in Satan.

God calls you to holiness - to be rooted in truth - rooted in Him.

God is life.

God is love.
God is Almighty.

Satan is a fallen angel who is going to hell for all eternity.

Satan hates men.

Satan hates God.

Satan works through pride, envy, jealousy, anger, lust, gluttony, slothfulness to deceive a soul that gives into him.

You have a free will.

You can cast Satan into hell but after years of thirst for power and control, a person deceiving others, does not see how they can deceive themselves with constant lies about morals and truth.

Satan uses twisted reasoning to tempt people to give in.

They can turn their backs to God and enjoy the power of trickery and living a life of being above others.

Satan deceived Eve with pride.
She wanted to be equal to God.

I am Mary perfect Handmaid of Jesus.

God loves humility which is the opposite of pride.
God promised a heavenly reward to those who love and serve the Lord and obey His Law.

The devil tells people who give into him - that wrong is right and right is wrong.

The devil tells them they do not sin when they sin. You are accountable before God for your sins and responsible for your actions done to hurt others.

Satan tells a puffed up person - they will never stand trial before God. Satan lies. Satan is the Father of lies.

He is hate.

God is love.

God is absolute truth.

My children, some men live blinded by pride and blatantly enslaved to Satan.

I appear, I appear, I appear. Souls are going into hell like rain.

I am your mother, you can’t deceive God. God knows all.

Jesus: I paid for your sins with My Blood.

I give you Myself in the Eucharist.

Satan hates My Precious Body and Blood in the Eucharist.

Satan works hard to tempt those I love to betray Me.

The more I give to a precious soul, the more Satan tries to get them to betray My precious love and generosity.
Then Satan works harder so the soul denies their sin and puffs their hard heart with hatred.

Those who love Me obey and love My commandments and live according to My Laws in truth.

Satan lies, lies, lies and deceived.

Satan is ugly.

The heart that turns their back to God and truth lives in misery and darkness.

You have a free will to obey God and love or lie, deceive and hate.

The person full of darkness and Satan has no where to go in their heart.

They have constant unrest and some live to do work for Satan.

They betray Me.

Judas, I loved, he betrayed Me with a kiss.

God is all good. How can you betray Me who have given you so very much.

People who see through the eyes of Satan see ugliness.

People who see through the eyes of God see beauty, truth, and love.

R. How much blindness is there in the fact a person will cling to sin and evil and turn their back on God.

Sin, repeatedly without sorrow, makes the heart hard and the soul blind to evil - they deny and do not take responsibility for.

Sin repeated, drives out the light in the soul.

Sin brings the sadness of emptiness inside.

The worst Bishop Sheen says is the sinner that refuses to repent and ask for forgiveness when God loves the sinner and will forgive a sincere repentant.

Mary Mother of God has appeared to me for 26 years for some children dead in sin going to hell for all eternity because they deny any mortal sins they commit.


 

                Given August 31, 2015

                R. God shows us He is Our Father by
                    giving us life –
                    God calls us to live life to be
                        loving, to be in God's image
                        and likeness.

                Every person is called to grow
                    spiritually to progress
                    in sincere self knowledge
                    and to do penance for their
                    sins.

                We are here to work on our eternal life
                    and to help others to get to
                    heaven.

                God gives us living water!

                God calls us to share in His
                    life – to rise above our
                    wounded human nature and to
                    grow in the virtues. God gives
                    us a share in greater happiness –
                    happiness depends on life in God.

                Christ is the new Adam. Christ paid
                    a precious price for the gift He
                    gave us.

 

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. Christ came to give us life so we
                    could have abundant life –

                Song: I Love You Jesus

                R. Jesus' miracles were miracles
                    of life! Miracles of health
                    and sight and hearing.

                Jesus is the Bread of Life –

                Jesus is the vine we are the branches
                    life is in being one with
                    Jesus.

                The sharing in His life is
                    supernatural life.

                It comes through union
                    with God –

                God loved us first –

                    Response to God's love –

                    We have a free will to
                        choose darkness or
                        to choose joy, happiness,
                        love in Him.

                We can be in heaven for eternity,
                    it never ends, but we
                    must choose to live
                    by God's commandments –
                    the commandments of love –

                Man is to be obedient to God –

                Learn to be obedient to those
                    under God – over them.

                The Church is to bring us to Christ –

                Christ is the head of the
                    mystical body –

                Jesus Christ is God – the Son of God –
                    Jesus became man – Jesus is
                    a Divine Person with two
                    Natures: a Human Nature
                                a Divine Nature –

                Jesus was born and lived
                    a hidden life for 30 years –

                The Sacred Heart devotion is
                    to show us the Love of
                    the Sacred Heart –
                    pure and perfect love.
 

Mark 7: 1-8, 14-15, 21-23

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered round him, and they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washing them. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, keep the tradition of the elders and never eat without washing their arms as far as the elbow; and on returning from the market place they never eat without first sprinkling themselves. There are also many other observances which have been handed down to them to keep, concerning the washing of cups and pots and bronze dishes. So the Pharisees and scribes asked him, 'Why do your disciples not respect the tradition of the elders but eat their food with unclean hands?' He answered, 'How rightly Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites in the passage of scripture: 

    This people honours me 
        only with lip-service, 
    while their hearts are far from me. 
    Their reverence of me is worthless; 
    the lessons they teach 
        are nothing but human commandments. 

You put aside the commandment of God to observe human traditions.

He called the people to him again and said, 'Listen to me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that goes into someone from outside can make that person unclean; it is the things that come out of someone that make that person unclean.

For it is from within, from the heart, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a person unclean.'

 

                R. We are to be in the image and
                    likeness of God –

                Jesus is love –
                Jesus taught love –
                Jesus showed us obedience
                Jesus laid down His life for us
                Jesus showed us about loving
                    each other –

                What we do to others –
                    we do to Jesus
 

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).

 

                R. Mystical Body of Christ
                    (1) Union with Christ
                    (2) Union with one another

                We are brothers and sisters –

                We need to treat each other like
                    brothers and sisters –

                God calls us to be united to the
                    Mass – the sacrifice of Calvary
                    sacramentally made present –

                The Church is ONE, HOLY,
                    CATHOLIC and
                    APOSTOLIC –
 

John 17: 20-23

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.

 

                R. Unity in Christ the head!

                Visible unity in Catholic
                    Church – we believe the
                    same truths –

                We have the same sacraments –
                We have the same worship –

                The Holy Father is the visible
                    center of this unity.

                We are united with others
                    in Christ –

                Shepherds of Christ is to pray for the
                    renewal of the Church and the world –
                    UNITY

                We are to ask –

                    What does Christ want of us –

                    We are to follow Christ as
                        closely as we can –

                    Some people who call themselves
                        holy are poor examples of
                        this – they hurt many
                        by being negative witnesses,
                        rebelling against Christ

                A person who loves God – doesn't
                    ask – "how little can I give"
                    We ask what does Jesus
                    want of me – how best
                    can I serve Jesus –
                    how can I be faithful to Jesus –
 

Matthew 16:15-19

'But you,' he said, 'who do you say I am?' Then Simon Peter spoke up and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jesus replied, 'Simon son of Jonah, you are a blessed man! Because it was no human agency that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my community. And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven: whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.'

 

                Jesus: The Shepherds of Christ was given
                    by My Father to bring unity and
                    love and help renew My Church.

               

                September 1, 2015

                R. Do you have hope?

                    To see the beauty God created –
                    To see through the eyes of God.

                    Beauty in nature
                    Beauty in a baby's eyes
                    Beauty in a baby's little hand
                    Beauty just watching a baby walk!

                A woman/man would not move and so
                    she/he just got more and more
                    angry and nobody could
                    stop her/his pain and revenge and
                    hatred, but herself/himself –
                    he lived a lie – make his darkness –
                    bring others down!

                Did you ever see the sunshine
                    bridge?

                Did you ever see the
                    sunlit sky of a
                    child's picture –

                Reality is seeing beautiful
                    waters and land and
                    a bridge bringing the
                    lands together.
 


 

                R. Love builds a bridge

                Love sees beauty –

                Evil is from inside the
                    heart

                Folly tears it down with its
                    evil heart!

                CONFLICT

                PASSIVE - AGGRESSIVE
 

                R. ῀ Beauty and love ῀

                Open my heart

                    Lord

                Let me see

                    your face

                Seek ye first the

                    Kingdom of God

                Two men looked out prison bars
                    one saw mud, the other stars –

                How does one seeing through
                    God's eyes see

 


 

                R. Seeing with Light and Truth

                Gospel of Sunday - read 3 times

Mark 7: 1-8, 14-15, 21-23

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered round him, and they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washing them. For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, keep the tradition of the elders and never eat without washing their arms as far as the elbow; and on returning from the market place they never eat without first sprinkling themselves. There are also many other observances which have been handed down to them to keep, concerning the washing of cups and pots and bronze dishes. So the Pharisees and scribes asked him, 'Why do your disciples not respect the tradition of the elders but eat their food with unclean hands?' He answered, 'How rightly Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites in the passage of scripture: 

    This people honours me 
        only with lip-service, 
    while their hearts are far from me. 
    Their reverence of me is worthless; 
    the lessons they teach 
        are nothing but human commandments. 

You put aside the commandment of God to observe human traditions.

He called the people to him again and said, 'Listen to me, all of you, and understand. Nothing that goes into someone from outside can make that person unclean; it is the things that come out of someone that make that person unclean.

For it is from within, from the heart, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a person unclean.'

 

                R. The Gospel is the Good News –
                The Gospel is the living Word of God
                The Gospel shows us a picture of Jesus.

                Seeing men in the image and likeness of God.

                A person has an image of life in
                    their mind and heart –
                    A man with love in his heart
                        is more likened to Jesus
                        he sees unity
                        he sees people working,
                        praying together, he
                        sees family –
                        he sees babies as sacred gifts from God –


                DISTORTED VISION

                How does a depressed man see

 

 

 

                R. Seeing in darkness – distortedly

                A person that has given into sin –
                    sees darkness
                    sees disorder
                    carries a weight on their back –
                    wants people out of their space –
                    doesn't have love in their hearts
                        for their brothers
                    doesn't see family – sees isolation
                        sees control
                    trying to make, force men in his
                        image and likeness

  

Genesis 1: 26-27

God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’

God created man in the image of himself,
    in the image of God he created him,
    male and female he created them.

 

                Song: Give Me your heart oh Jesus

                R. Faith

 

 

 

                R. Sees through the vision of the
                    Heavenly Father

                    Love                Compassion
                    Family
                    Light
                    Unity   
                    Forgiveness
 

                R. God is

                    Absolute Truth
                    Divine Wisdom
                    Reality Veiled


                Seeing Divine Glory

                Seeing the Light of our
                    own graced soul –

                Seeing through the eyes
                    of God

                Beauty of a  child –
 

                    Splendor of God

                    Reality –


 


                R. Humility – like the heart of Mary

                    Mary had no malice –

                    Her actions were centered on God –

                    She was under God –

                    She was sinless –

January 5, 1997
"BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE"

R. On January 5, 1997, I was wakened by Our Lord and He was mumbling as He was around my bed as He did on October 8, 1997, when He delivered the "Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine" message.

I heard Him and He repeated the words over and over again. I had a copy of the all-night message on the floor, I jumped from the bed and began to write around the message, for it was the only paper available and He was speaking very plainly and direct. I wrote this message in the margins of the paper. He kept repeating "BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE".

Jesus:  Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.

Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.

A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wonderingyou lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.

Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothingI cloth you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.

                R. God shows us His wonder in
                    this world –
                    in children
                    in the skies
                    in the light of day

                God shows us His creation from nothing –

                We are in awe

                God is Infinite Perfection –

                    Absolute Truth –

                We can go to heaven and see God –
                    face to face –
                    know –

                Our heart seeks fullness of life
                    in heaven –

                The depths of God not seen
                    on earth – that was
                    veiled!

                We can know God, as He is
                    in heaven –

                See Him face to face


                Moses went up the Mountain
                    to get the commandments
                    and his face was
                    bright!

                Creatures have defects here
                    on earth – we seek
                    a pure heart –

                God is all just –

                God judges us justly –

                God is all good

                How did we live?

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.F

    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

 

 

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. 1991

                Jesus told me
                we were attracted to Him
                    like steel to a magnet –

                But we have a free will

                We can turn our back
                    to God –

                Independence –

                Trying to be in control
                    over God

   

Revelation 21: 1-8

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’
 
     Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."
Then he said to me, ‘It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son.  But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.’

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

   

 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

 

 

 

Prayer for Priests

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen"

Ephesians 1: 7-14

in whom, through his blood, 
    we gain our freedom, 
        the forgiveness of our sins. 
Such is the richness of the grace 
which he has showered on us 
in all wisdom and insight. 
He has let us know 
    the mystery of his purpose, 
according to his good pleasure 
    which he determined beforehand 
        in Christ, 
for him to act upon 
    when the times had run their course: 
that he would bring everything together 
    under Christ, as head, 
everything in the heavens 
    and everything on earth. 
And it is in him
    that we have received our heritage,
marked out beforehand as we were,
under the plan of the One
    who guides all things
as he decides by his own will,
chosen to be,
for the praise of his glory,
the people who
    would put their hopes in Christ
        before he came.
Now you too, in him,
have heard the message of the truth
    and the gospel of your salvation,
and having put your trust in it
you have been stamped with the seal
    of the Holy Spirit of the Promise,
who is the pledge of our inheritance,
for the freedom of the people
    whom God has taken for his own,
for the praise of his glory.

 

                Mary: "Focus on Jesus"

                R. We are to live our gift given in baptism
                as a special calling from God –

                    We are to take it serious by prayer and
                trying to live the Gospel, we are to
                study the life of Jesus and do works
                of charity toward others in love –

                    We are to examine our conscience
                regularly and make an act of contrition
                and have a firm purpose of amendment.
                We are to have this purpose

                    1) to purify our minds and hearts and
                        our intentions –
                    2) to strengthen us against temptation.
                    3) to make decisions to advance in
                        holiness in the spiritual life –
                        so we can remain closely united
                        to Jesus and make greater progress
                        to love God more –
                    4) We are to progress in sincere self knowledge
                        and in true penance – to be honest with
                        ourselves about our sins –
                    5) We pray to be healed
                    6) We pray to be free from the influence
                        of the devil and effects of sin.
                    7) We pray to be not negative in mind and
                        behavior, angry in heart, gloomy
                        in ways –
                        but to be likened to Christ more and more
                    8) We pray to live as a way God wants for
                        our salvation and to help others to
                        get to heaven.
                    9) Jesus should be coming alive more
                        and more in us, as we live
                        the Gospel message –
                        Jesus is our Savior –
                        Jesus frees us from our sins –

                        We see the Samarian woman –
                            Jesus tells her - He has the living water –
                            Jesus is the head prophet
                            Jesus is the Messiah
                            Jesus is the Savior of the world –
                    10) The only way to deal with sin is to
                        admit it and do something
                        about it.
                    11) Jesus shows us the man born blind –
                        Jesus is the Son of Man –
                        Jesus is the Light –

                        Jesus showed us the blindness
                            of the Pharisees
                        Jesus is life –
                        Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead –

 

Apostles Creed

    I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

 

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

     

                R. We have the Rosary to teach us about
                    the life of Jesus and Mary –

                We have the Stations Jesus gave us –

                God is with us –

                We need union with God –

                God is the Savior

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.F

    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

 

 

 

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 Church

                    We are the Mystical Body of Christ
                        because of baptism and
                        we are united with Christ our head!

                    The Church is not a building –
                        not authority alone –

                    The Church is
                        Christ and Christians
 


                The Church is Christ and us
                    united with Him –
   

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

 

John 10: 11-15

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
   for his sheep.
The hired man,
   since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
   and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
   and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
   because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.

 

 

1 Peter 2: 5

so that you, too, may be living stones making a spiritual house as a holy priesthood to offer the spiritual sacrifices made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

 

Revelation 21: 1-3; 23

The heavenly Jerusalem

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them.

and the city did not need the sun or the moon for light, since it was lit by the radiant glory of God, and the Lamb was a lighted torch for it.

 

                R. The Church is the Spouse of Christ –

                The Church is not just
                    Pope, Cardinals, Bishops,
                        Priests –

                Mystical body –
                    is a living body whose
                        life is the life of God –
                        communicated through
                        union with Jesus'
                        body by the Power
                        of the Holy Spirit –

                A body has many parts –

                Our job to bring others to God and
                    to have a deeper life in God –

                We are the members of the body of Christ
                    24/7 – not just in Church –

                We should be recognized as members
                    of the body of Christ in the
                    world by our love –

                This body, the Church, has
                    structure –
                    . not a haphazard group
                        of people

                We are to live the mission of
                    the Church!

 

Ephesians 4: 11-16

And to some, his ‘gift’ was that they should be apostles; to some prophets; to some, evangelists; to some, pastors and teachers; to knit God’s holy people together for the work of service to build up the Body of Christ, until we all reach unity in faith and knowledge of the Son of God and form the perfect Man, fully mature with the fullness of Christ himself.

Then we shall no longer be children, or tossed one way and another, and carried hither and thither by every new gust of teaching, at the mercy of all the tricks people play and their unscrupulousness in deliberate deception. If we live by the truth and in love, we shall grow completely into Christ, who is the head by whom the whole Body is fitted and joined together, every joint adding its own strength, for each individual part to work according to its function. So the body grows until it has built itself up in love.

 

                R. We are teachers, Apostles,
                    prophets, pastors –
                    There are successors of the
                        Apostles – Bishops –

                There is structure –
                    part of the structure is
                        laws –

                The Family of God
                    1) Union with Christ
                    2) Union with one Another –

                1) Union with God
                    Father, Son and Holy Spirit live
                        in our graced baptized soul –

                    We receive communion –
                        Holy Communion –
                        Union with God –
                        Spouse and Marriage to God –

                2) Union with Others
                    a) in heaven and in purgatory
                    b) on earth
                        . we are brothers and sisters –
                        . we are to treat each other like
                            brothers and sisters
                        . we need each other –
                            like parts of a body
                            we appreciate each other
                        . we treat each other as our own
                            body
                            (hand wouldn't hurt eye) –
                        . we are one in the Eucharist
                        . we manifest love
                            *praying together at Mass
                            *praying for each other
                            *helping each other
                            *not doing things that separate us –
                                stressing things out –

 

Romans 10: 12

it makes no distinction between Jew and Greek: the same Lord is the Lord of all, and his generosity is offered to all who appeal to him,

 

Galatians 3: 28

There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither slave nor freeman, there can be neither male nor female — for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

 

                R. We are witnesses to Christ

                We bring Christ to others

                The Church is
                    ONE, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic

   

John 17: 20-23

The prayer of Jesus

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.

 

                R. There is unity in Christ

                A unity of love –

                Unity in believing the same truths –

                We have the same sacraments –

                The Holy Father is the visible
                    center of this unity –

                Unity among Christ's followers
                    is far from perfect –
                    We must pray for unity

   

1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

25 Years Ago

May 5, 1995

Consecrate Your Churches, Home, and Workplace to Our Hearts

Jesus: I want you to consecrate the human race to Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to be enthroned in all homes, churches, and businesses.

June is the month of the Sacred Heart. I want to be king and center of all hearts. I will keep My promises given to St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque. I promise all this from My most Sacred Heart. Consecrate your chapter to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Consecrate the church or room in which you hold your meeting.

Today is First Friday. I want you to circulate the message I gave to you on consecrating your homes to My Sacred Heart. Make booklets available for people to be able to consecrate their homes and businesses easily. Use the message I gave to you when you consecrated your home.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Consecrate all homes and businesses to Our Two Hearts. Tell all to have displayed and honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. May and June are the months of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all to consecrate their homes to Our Two Hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the 5th of May, 1995, First Friday, I request that you spend the next two months encouraging all to do this consecration.

Gather your friends and say the prayers I have instructed you to say. Sing "To Jesus Heart All Burning" and "Immaculate Mary." May these Two Hearts of love give all members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.

R. Jesus said He desires to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.

Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book messages. They promote this devotion. How My Heart is filled with happiness by the souls who come to the tabernacle and sit with Me. I am Jesus Christ, I wait and long and thirst for My precious souls to come. The souls of men have turned cold. I want souls to come to daily communion and be with Me in front of the tabernacle.

Men's hearts have turned cold. They do not know what love really means. I want hearts that are filled with fire for love of God. Men's hearts have turned to stone.

You are to promote devotion to My most Sacred Heart. I want hearts that burn with love for My Heart. It is through Me that you will know the Father's love. I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life.

Offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude, and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.

R. He promises great graces to those who give reparation to His Sacred Heart and who tell others about offering reparation to Him.  end of May 5, 1995

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
    Shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
    Come, within our bosoms shine!

You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
    Sweet refreshment here below;

In our Labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
    Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
    And our inmost being fill!

Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
    Nothing free from taint of ill!

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
    Wash the stains of guilt away;

Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
    Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
    In your sev'nfold gift descend;

Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
    Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.

 

May 2, 2020 - First Saturday

R. Let the thoughts be positive.
My God help everything in my brain and body to work toward health.

God gave us a beautiful body.
The brain is the pilot. Let it be filled with light and healing energy.
God gave us this beautiful machine to operate through life.
Our eyes help us see.

Our brain helps direct the body.

Our ears give us hearing.

Our arms and legs help us live, maneuver.

Oh God thank You for all You have given us.

You gave us breath for our body.
You gave us organs to operate, so we can live.

You gave us cells to reproduce, a skeleton and nerves.

You gave us blood and a system to maintain life.
Oh God thank You for the peace we can have, the interior life, the brain to think,
the heart to love.

Oh God thank You for the world with such beauty, the sky, the rolling hills and mountains, lakes and streams, the ocean so wide and beautiful.

Oh God all the animals, fish, greenery and flowers.

So much beauty, God.

God is love.
God gives us each other to love, to know, to be with.

God gives us our family to love, to be with.

Oh my God, You are so good to me.

My God, Thank You.

I love Thee so.

God is love and in Him is no darkness.

God loved us into existence. God wants us with Him.

Pure and perfect love.

Thank You God for this day and all it brings.

I love You.

Given February 20, 2020

                R. All the years at the site we had precious
                    statues made by two Portuguese
                    brother-in-laws.
                    A while ago they went back to
                    Portugal and one brother was
                    bit by an Asian wasp and died.

                We have a limited number of these
                    precious painted statues that
                    we will not have again.
                    These statues come with the glass
                    from the Virgin Mary's image face
                    destroyed March 1, 2004.

                The 16th Anniversary of this will be
                    March 1, 2020.

                We will send the little statues, but
                    wish to sell the few left
                    that are 24 inches from the
                    Florida site.

                There is a very limited number
                    for this anniversary.

                March 5, 2020 6:20
                    Mary and Jesus have
                    asked that you come
                    to the Florida site for
                    the prayer service.

                    This is a miracle building,
                many have received graces and
                blessings of healing and
                particular needs both spiritual
                and physical.

                Given October 29, 2016

                R. Please spread blessed holy water
                (
You can also mix Jesus and Mary water
                with your blessed Holy Water if you have it.)
                in your yard, around your house,
                in the state you live in.

                And ask God to bless your state
                Ask God to bless the United States

                Pray all prayers through the intercession of
                    Our Lady of CLEAR – WATER.

                Ask the Lady of CLEAR - WATER
                    to help with the blessed water.

                Mary has appeared to me for 22 years,
                    in Ohio and Florida.

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

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts
Inspiring Homilies by Fr. Joe Robinson
$ 5.00

Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. Cycle A (partial)    Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10

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
