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 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.

R. What is important of sacrifice
is the Father's acceptance.
We have a relationship with
God. We offer ourselves united
to the sacrifice of Jesus to the
Father in the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass.

    It is relationship –

    I am the little child of
my Father – I am one with
Jesus the bridegroom of my
soul in the Holy Spirit –
Oneness with the God-head
in offering the Holy Sacrifice
in the Mass –
The Mass is the Sacrifice
of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.

    Christ gave Himself
to the Father –

    Christ rose from the
dead –

    Such love eternally –
the Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally
made present –

Grace is outpoured to us –
on the world – through the
powerful intercession of
Mary who stood at the
foot of the cross –

 

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message

 

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.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

 

December 27, 1995

LET US LOVE THE TWO HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY
IN THE RECEPTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST.

HE GAVE HIMSELF TO US ON THE CROSS. HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST.

How great was the act of love, God gave to this world, when He gave Himself and died on the cross. He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.

The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow.

The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.

This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our Holy, Loving God. Our all consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God? He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love when Jesus gives Himself-Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in Communion? We should beg God, in this most intimate union with Him, to help us to love Him with greatest love.

Jesus is a Person. He wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. Our Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist, we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, with Divinity, we must pour out our love to God. We must pour out our heart to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being in the sacrament of His greatest love. This is the Gift of Himself.

Think of how it is to love someone and give your all for that person, to pour out your heart to him or her and then be treated with coldness and neglect. It hurts our heart so much more when we deeply love someone to be rejected by that person. Jesus loves us with the deepest love. We cannot fully comprehend this love. Let us love Him with the deepest love. Let us love Mary and her Immaculate Heart. Let us love her as the Mother of God. Let us love her as the virgin who bore the Son of God. May we, in the reception of the Eucharist pour out our love to Him, to this adorable Heart. May we pour out our love to His Holy Mother.

Mary said at Fatima that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Let us love these two Hearts as we receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Then we are so deeply united with God. We see Their two Hearts surrounded with thorns for the injustices against Their Hearts. Let us help make reparation daily as we receive Him in the Eucharist. This is a special time to help make reparation to Their wounded Hearts.

Let us remember how He poured His love out to us on the cross and how He pours out His love to us now when He gives us Himself in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which contains His Heart of burning love. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Her heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. As the wounds in Their Hearts are deep, so too is Their love so deep.

He does not want "surface love". He wants hearts filled with deep burning love.  end of December 27, 1995

 

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. The Father accepts
the sacrifice of His
Son.

    This is the Pascal / Mystery –
we live out the Pascal
Mystery – Death / Resurrection –
in our lives –

    Jesus passed from death to
resurrection.

    Jesus is our Savior –

    He emptied Himself for
us – so we could be saved –
Jesus took on our sins –
He died for our sins –
He rose to new life and
ascended to the Father –

Devotion to His Father –

 

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.

 

R. We are to die to our sins
and rise in Him –
We are filled with gratitude
to do so for what Christ
has done for us –
God outpours His grace to us
    in the Mass –
the sacrifice of Calvary –
sacramentally made
present –

Reach the Nursing Homes –
Spread the Morning Offering –
unite with the angels and
the saints praying to
the Father united to Jesus,
in the Holy Spirit through the
powerful intercession of
Mary - Mother at our side –

June 12, 2022

R. We were created by God for God.
We are looking for God, only God can really fill us.
The emptiness in our hearts is emptiness of God in our hearts.
God gave us baptism.
God gives us in baptism a sharing in His life.
God loved us first.
We were created for God and love.

Through our own foolishness and willfulness opposing what God wants of us, we can seek things to fill us, which in fact cannot fill us and may in fact, lead to evil ways and greater emptiness.

God gives us grace in our lives through the Mass, the sacraments, in how we follow Christ, pray and live our lives.
Grace is His life in us.
We need to see the big picture, God created us, our soul, to live with Him forever in eternity.
But we have a free will to follow Christ or make ourselves the boss.

The emptiness of God in our hearts is real emptiness. The more we give into this emptiness the more we need God and finite attractions do not really satisfy us.

God is infinite.
His love is infinite, it doesn’t run out.

We do not comprehend the infinitude of God’s love.
The Holy Spirit infuses our intellects with wisdom, knowledge, understanding and counsel so we see more the big picture, the Plan of the Heavenly Father.
The Holy Spirit counsels us, fills us, sanctifies us - we pray to Him for this.
Come Holy Spirit come into our soul, fill us with Your love, help us to know You ever more, come and possess our soul with Your grace and Your love.

Dear Father we want to live by Your will, we are Your little ones, waiting Your favor, help us to please You in our lives.

Dear Jesus, thank you for coming to earth and being our Savior.
Jesus thank you for teaching us and all the miracles.
Thank you for our Mother Mary.
Thank you for your Sacred Heart.
Thank you for the sacraments.

Oh most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee, I love Thee, I worship You God.

 

June 4, 2022

This message is from God the Father.

Mary: I appear in Clearwater to
deliver a message from
God the Father.
Your world is at war with
demons.
This is the heavenly
Father's
City, set on a hill.
Tomorrow is the 5th.
I am the Mother of God.
 

Pentecost

Mary: The Holy Spirit is my
Spouse.
Jesus carried the cross and
died on the cross.
To follow Christ is to
embrace the cross as
Jesus did and serve the
Heavenly Father as Jesus
did.

The Mass is the perfect
sacrifice Jesus gave to the
Father, the sacrifice of
Calvary sacramentally
made present.
Pentecost is the birth of the
Church.
The supreme act of love
Jesus showed in the cross,
giving Himself for your sins.

R. We see the devotion of
Jesus to the Father.

Mary: Jesus showed
obedience to the Father to
His death on the cross.
Jesus shows us His
devotion to His Father.
Jesus obeyed the Father’s
will to His death on the
cross for you.
True devotion to His Father.

Devotion of Jesus, to the
Father, in the Holy Spirit.

R. This is in the Mass, we
unite to the sacrifice of
Jesus to His Father, in the
Holy Spirit. His perfect
sacrifice to the Father is
united to ours as we unite
to the Mass and this gives
devotion and love to God.


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. What price Jesus paid for
us.
What lesson in love
and obedience, Jesus shows
us.
The Mass is the center of
the Church’s life.

We are called by God to
respond to God’s love in
living the Christ-life from
the gift we receive in
baptism and to feed this life
with the Eucharist, Jesus
truly present in His Divinity
and humanity.

God gives us the
supernatural virtues of
Faith, Hope, and love in
baptism. We are to live
virtuously being imitators
of Christ.
God the Father sent His
only begotten Son, Jesus,
the Son of God to teach us
about God.
Jesus is the way, the truth
and the life.
God the Holy Spirit is the
soul of the Church, God the
Holy Spirit gives the holy,
open, soul His gifts.
God wants an intimate
relationship with Him and
He communicates to us
about our lives, but we
must be open to God.
A happy soul is one who
carries the cross God
allows in their lives to lead
to greater life in Him.
The cross leads to life. Life
is in God.

Colossians 1: 24

It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church,

 
R. We see the lives of the
saints, holy souls who gave
themselves in tremendous
suffering, martyrdom and
death for the Church.
God may ask very small
ordinary sufferings of us,
why would we refuse, this
opportunity —
What God gives us is for
our growth and for our
good.
God loves us more than we
could love ourselves.
He wants eternal salvation
for us.

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.  
 

Jesus: You were created in
My image and likeness.
I am the way, the truth, and
the life.

R. We must grow in

1. The virtues of Faith, Hope,
and Love.
2. The gifts and fruits of the
Holy Spirit.
3. The beatitudes in which we,
receive joy.

Isaiah 11: 1-3

A shoot will spring 
    from the stock of Jesse, 
a new shoot will grow from his roots. 
On him will rest the spirit of Yahweh, 
the spirit of wisdom and insight, 
the spirit of counsel and power, 
the spirit of knowledge 
    and fear of Yahweh: 


R. The Holy Spirit is the Guest
of our soul

The Holy Spirit directs our
spiritual life.

 
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.
prayers to the Holy Spirit
 

R. The Holy Spirit infuses the
gifts of wisdom, knowledge
and counsel in our soul.
We were created to be
more and more in the
image of God.
God wants an intimate
relationship with us.
Our souls were meant for
Him, saturated more and
more with God’s grace, His
life in us.
Life is in Him, surrendering
more and more to God, not
filling ourselves with our
own unruly “ego”.

God is perfect unity!!
God is love.
God is perfect order.
God is perfect.

Matthew 5: 48

...You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.’

R. Wisdom, understanding,
knowledge and counsel are
intellectual habits.
A person basing their
actions on the deadly sins
draws from the brain which
can be filled with bad habits.
The brain is not always
truthful, its job is to keep
us safe, based on our past
experiences - good or bad.
Files in the brain that may
need rewiring from
destructive compulsive
behavior.
The intellect through faith
and good habits bases its
decisions on reality and
right reasoning.

The will must be
conformed to the Father’s
will to be living the Father’s
plan.
The willful man is seeking
his future in himself and his
will.
He can live basing his
actions on bad habits:
jealousy, pride, anger, envy,
slothfulness, he denies,
glorifying his bad habits
like trophies, because some
men, refuse to base their
decisions on God’s will,
God’s Plan.

The devil is division, hatred,
dissension, confusion,
chaos, disobedience to
God.


Mary: My soul doth magnify the
Lord
And my spirit rejoice in God
my Savior.

Mary: I am without sin.

I am the Immaculate
Conception.


 

Mary: Heaven is a reward
promised to those who
love and serve Jesus.


Mary: My gown is made up of the
colors of the sky.


Mary: God created the land
And the bodies of water!!
God is all powerful!
God is mighty!!!

I am Our Lady of
Clearwater

Clear-water surrounds my
building.


Everything has a season!!

Mysteries of Light

The Baptism of Jesus

1. God is love.
And He who loves, knows God more and more as they grow in love.
2. Jesus began His public life at the baptism of Jesus.
3. We live the life, death and resurrection of Christ in our lives.
4. Ah, being united to the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.
5. Life is a journey of knowing Jesus more and more and thus a journey of love.
6. Love gives for the good of the other.
7. Love is not love until you give it away.
8. God is love, it’s our response to God’s love given to us constantly.

9. Matthew 3: 13-17

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him. And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’ 

10. Prayer of St Ignatius

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

 

The Marriage at Cana

1. John 2: 1-10  

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’  There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’ 

2. Sirach 5:1-8

Do not put your confidence in your money
    or say, ‘With this I am self–sufficient.’
Do not be led by your appetites and energy
    to follow the passions of your heart.
And do not say, ‘Who has authority over me?’
    for the Lord will certainly give you your deserts.
Do not say, ‘I have sinned, but what harm has befallen me?’
    for the Lord’s forbearance is long.
Do not be so sure of forgiveness
    that you add sin to sin.
And do not say, ‘His compassion is great,
    he will forgive me my many sins’;
for with him are both mercy and retribution,
    and his anger does not pass from sinners.
Do not delay your return to the Lord,
    do not put it off day after day;
for suddenly the Lord’s wrath will blaze out,
    and on the day of punishment you will be utterly destroyed.
Do not set your heart on ill–gotten gains,
    they will be of no use to you on the day of disaster.
     

3. Ephesians 3:8-12

I, who am less than the least of all God’s holy people, have been entrusted with this special grace, of proclaiming to the gentiles the unfathomable treasure of Christ and of throwing light on the inner workings of the mystery kept hidden through all the ages in God, the Creator of everything. The purpose of this was, that now, through the Church, the principalities and ruling forces should learn how many–sided God’s wisdom is, according to the plan which he had formed from all eternity in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him we are bold enough to approach God in complete confidence, through our faith in him;

4. See Mary’s powerful intercession as this happens at the foot of the cross on Calvary and Mary’s powerful intercession as Mother of the Church.
We see Mary’s powerful intercession in the first miracle of Christ’s public life at Cana when water is changed into wine.
This a foreshadowing of Mary’s powerful intercession at the Mass.
Mary wants to take us closer to Jesus.

Mary says ”Do whatever He tells you to do”.

5. Mary is Mother of the Christ-life.
Mary as Mother of Jesus felt Jesus grow inside of her womb.
Mary as our spiritual Mother wants us to go to her Immaculate Heart, our spiritual womb and grow in Jesus ever more in her heart, as she takes us to Jesus’ Sacred Heart.
Oh my, the beauty of this spiritual birthing in the Holy Spirit and Mary.

Oh my the incarnation goes on in us.

6. Beauty personified!!!
God the Father’s Plan for our lives of living in love.
Nothing can equal what eye has not seen, nor ear heard, what God has prepared for those who love and serve Him.
7. Beauty beyond beauty, fruit of the womb, spiritual gifts from Mary’s Immaculate Heart for our soul.
A sweet balm beyond any words here I reach to express.
This is reality for reality is in Him.
Why would one not seek healing to embrace the reality of truth in God. Treasure beyond all treasures.
God is other and transcendent.
What awe Peter, James and John must have known at the transfiguration.
He appeared in the whitest glorious, shinning light.

His love for us is beyond our comprehension, beyond expression, like the Heart I saw December 17, 1991 31 years ago, the white heat of His love, His Heart ablaze in the hottest brilliant white and yellow light.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my trust in Thee.
Amen

God help us to love You with our whole heart and whole being and love our neighbor as ourselves.
I love You God.

8. God help us, please, to be united in our walks of life: our family, our vocation, etc.

9. Being Christ for others. Being one in Christ.
Unity will convince others we are united to God.
If we are of God we are loving.
Division is the work of Satan. Chaos is from Satan.
The sign of My presence, Jesus says, is unity.

10. Jesus' life in us, brings unity.
We are to be in one heart and one mind.
We see the reflection of Christ in us.
Love one another.
Jesus is perfect love.

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.


The Kingdom of God

1. The Father is all powerful.
God is the living God.
2. Sing: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

3. God calls us to our vocation to help build the Kingdom of God to know, love and serve God.
4. Jesus said I came not to be served, but to serve.
5. Jesus: I am Jesus
I am love.

Your life is to be to grow in My image and likeness.

7. John 17: 11-19

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us. While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched over them and not one is lost except one who was destined to be lost, and this was to fulfil the scriptures. But now I am coming to you and I say these things in the world to share my joy with them to the full. I passed your word on to them, and the world hated them, because they belong to the world no more than I belong to the world. I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth.

8. Building the Kingdom of God is
moving ahead - productivity - growth.
9. Building the Kingdom of God is forming strong unity with those God gives us to work with.
10. The Holy Spirit is the soul of the Church.
Building the Kingdom of God is life in the Holy Spirit.
 

The Transfiguration

1. Mark 9: 2-8

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.
 

2. Jesus: Who is on your throne?
3. Jesus: Pray for grace not to be deaf to My call.

4. Jesus: Order is for peace.
    Who is your king?
5. Jesus: What do you put first in your life?
6. Jesus: You are called to be My disciples.

7. From a Lenten Homily, March 24, 2000

Live in the Moment

    Today’s Gospel in its story certainly points ahead to Jesus in His Passion and death. And as we read passages such as this during the Lenten season, we are reminded once again that the Church in her Liturgy of the Word gives us an opportunity to undergo a purification, an ever deepening cleansing of ourselves so that we may be a more fit instrument for receiving the great graces which are to be given to us at the time of the Resurrection memorial on Easter. And so all in all, Lent is a time of purification to prepare us for ever-greater gifts of the Lord. It’s a time of self-discipline, a time to renew our efforts to be self-disciplined in the service of the Lord. Self-discipline is an aspect of purification. And I suggest that one of the most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to concentrate on the present moment. We have a very strong tendency to disregard the importance of the present moment by focusing in a wrong way on the past or in a wrong way on the future. There are proper occasions for thinking of the past and the future. For example, we have to learn from the past and we have to prepare for the future, but our great emphasis has to be upon the present. There is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, age quod agis, which means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the present. And of course we are familiar with that term in the history of spirituality: the sacrament of the present moment. And so the discipline of Lent certainly encourages us to include in a deeper self-discipline a greater determination to get as much as we can out of the present moment. People with a terminal illness have an opportunity as they prepare for death for increased prayer, contrition, love of God. However, some are taken very, very quickly. But for those who have the opportunity of knowing with some certainty the time of their death, I’m sure as they look back on their lives, they are saddened by the many times they did not use time and opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A great means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus upon our Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much about the future or the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and deriving all the good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever greater focus upon Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I live with Him in the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present moment. And so let us in our Lenten activity resolve to grow in that self-discipline - which is very difficult at times - to really live in the presence with the fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help of God’s grace. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day of salvation. end of Father Carter's homily


8. 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.


9. 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


10. May 16, 1998 - The Prayer to the Father

My Father,

        With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.

        It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.

        My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.

        And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.

        I beg You Father for mercy.

        I beg You Father for assistance.

        I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.

        Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins. 

        Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men. 

        Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne. 

        We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.

        We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia

 

The Institution of the Eucharist

1. Matthew 26: 26-29

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’


2. Song: I Love You Jesus


3. Song: God’s Love


4. Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul


5. 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.


6. A Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass continued

    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.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995


7. Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

8. Song: Come to My Heart


 

9. From Blue Book 11

R. Let us join in one mind and one heart all together in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray for this world that the grace and mercy of the Almighty God will reign on the earth.


10. From Blue Book 11

R. Mary stood beneath the cross and she watched her beloved Son. Just think for a moment, think of all the pain that Jesus suffered. Think of what it would be like to have nails pounded into your hands and your feet and your head crowned with thorns, and wounds all over your body, beaten with harsh instruments, drained of all of your blood and to hang on a cross for three agonizing hours.

But Jesus says to us, “My greatest sufferings were not what I experienced to My body but to My Heart, for I love the souls with the deepest love and I am forgotten and treated with such indifference.” Jesus would rather have one soul that loves Him with the deepest love than a million souls that have a cold love toward Him or love Him halfheartedly.

Jesus: Will you be that soul? Will you be the soul that warms My Heart? Will I hear the words from your lips all day as you go about your activities and you take those small moments and say, ‘Jesus, I love You.’ Will you march into this world and tell others how much you love Me that they too might think about how great the love of God is? You are My hands and you are My feet. My hands were pierced and My feet were pierced for love of you. I ask you now to lift yours in love of your brothers.

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 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

$ 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
