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.

Today's Readings Jehoiachin was
eighteen years old when he came to the throne,
and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem.
His mother's name was Nehushta daughter of
Elnathan of Jerusalem. He did what is
displeasing to Yahweh, just as his father had
done. At that
time the troops
of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon advanced on
Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon advanced on the
city and his generals laid siege to it.
Jehoiachin king of Judah-he, his mother, his
retinue, his nobles and his officials – then
surrendered to the king of Babylon, and the king
of Babylon took them prisoner in the eighth year
of his reign. The latter carried
off all the treasures of the
Temple of
Yahweh and the
treasures of the palace and broke up all the
golden furnishings which
Solomon king of
Israel had made for the
sanctuary of
Yahweh, as
Yahweh had
foretold. He carried all
Jerusalem off
into exile, all the nobles and all the notables,
ten thousand of these were exiled, with all the
blacksmiths and metalworkers; only the poorest
people in the country were left behind. He
deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, as also the
king's mother, his officials and the nobility of
the country; he made them all leave
Jerusalem for
exile in Babylon. All the men of distinction,
seven thousand of them, the blacksmiths and
metalworkers, one thousand of them, all the men
capable of bearing arms, were led off into exile
in Babylon by the king of Babylon. The king of Babylon
deposed Jehoiachin in favour of his paternal
uncle Mattaniah, whose name he changed to
Zedekiah. Psalms 79: 1-5, 8-9 National lament God, the pagans
have invaded your heritage, Around
Jerusalem they
have shed blood like water, Do not count
against us the guilt of former generations, Matthew 7: 21-29 'It is not anyone
who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who
will enter the
kingdom of Heaven, but the
person who does
the
will of my
Father in heaven. When the day comes many
will say to me,
"Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name,
drive out demons in your name, work many
miracles in your name?" Then I shall tell them
to their faces: I have never known you; away
from me, all
evil doers! 'Therefore,
everyone who listens to these words of mine and
acts on them
will be like a
sensible
man who built
his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose,
gales blew and hurled themselves against that
house, and it did not fall: it was founded on
rock. But everyone who listens to these words of
mine and does not act on them
will be like a
stupid
man who built
his house on sand. Rain came down, floods rose,
gales blew and struck that house, and it fell;
and what a fall it had!' Jesus had now
finished what he wanted to say, and his teaching
made a deep impression on the people because he
taught them with authority, unlike their own
scribes.
2 Kings 24: 8-17
they have defiled your holy temple,
they have laid
Jerusalem in
ruins,
they have left the corpses of your servants
as food for the birds of the air,
the bodies of your faithful for the wild beasts.
leaving no one to bury them.
We are the scorn of our neighbours,
the butt and laughing-stock of those around us.
How long
will you be
angry, Yahweh? For ever?
Is your
jealousy to go
on smouldering like a fire?
in your tenderness come quickly to meet us,
for we are utterly weakened;
help us,
God our Saviour,
for the
glory of your
name;
Yahweh, wipe away our sins,
rescue us for the sake of your name.

The Father's Will for
Us - Our Source of Peace Pope John Paul II
instructs us: "The Church, as a reconciled and
reconciling community, cannot forget that at the source
of her gift and mission of reconciliation is the
initiative, full of compassionate love and mercy, of
that God who is love (see 1 John 4:8) and who out of
love created human beings (see Wisdom 11:23-26; Genesis
1:27: Psalms 8:4-8)…He created them so that they might
live in friendship with Him and in communion with one
another. "God is faithful to His
eternal plan even when man, under the impulse of the
evil one (see Wisdom 2:24) and carried away by his own
pride, abuses the freedom given to him in order to love
and generously seek what is good, and (instead) refuses
to obey his Lord and Father. God is faithful even when
man, instead of responding with love to God’s love,
opposes Him and treats Him like a rival, deluding
himself and relying on his own power, with the resulting
break of relationship with the One who created him. In
spite of this transgression on man’s part, God remains
faithful in love. "It is certainly true
that the story of the Garden of Eden makes us think
about the tragic consequences of rejecting the Father,
which becomes evident in man’s inner disorder and in the
breakdown of harmony between man and woman, brother and
brother (see Genesis 3:12 ff; 4:1-16). Also significant
is the Gospel parable of the two brothers (the parable
of the ‘prodigal son’; see Luke 15:11-32) who, in
different ways, distance themselves from their father
and cause a rift between them. Refusal of God’s fatherly
love and of His loving gifts is always at the root of
humanity’s divisions. "But we know that
God…like the father in the parable (of the prodigal
son), does not close His heart to any of His children.
He waits for them, looks for them, goes to meet them at
the place where the refusal of communion imprisons them
in isolation and division. He calls them to gather about
His table in the joy of the feast of forgiveness and
reconciliation. "This initiative on God’s
part is made concrete and manifest in the redemptive act
of Christ, which radiates through the world by means of
the ministry of the Church."
13 13. Pope John Paul II, as
in Celebrate 2000!, Servant Publications, pp.
140-141.

Excerpt from Response in Christ
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. e) Relationship with Members of the Church
There
is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different
states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world,
composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its
development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have
the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The
Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those
who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim
Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church’s existence,
there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these
members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life
establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we
discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and
the heavenly Church.
The
members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life
in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is
incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them,
and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or
lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to
the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further
purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with
merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The
pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving
the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people
by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to
our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book
of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.
The
members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken
full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith
now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new
strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a
wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in
God’s own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God
reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however,
until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to
the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of
the Trinity experienced here below.
This
life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in
Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this
grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of
Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father
through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision
of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14
And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to
God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a
completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His
humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with
other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of
the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.
The
heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15
The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are,
each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem.
Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in
Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God,
will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16
The
members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until
we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our
behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity.
We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God
to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as
well as from those with whom we dwell here below.
Not
only can we be aided by the saints’ intercession, but the example of the
canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely
proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth
when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees
is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their
diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian
holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous
possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic
assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the
opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert
in the life of the Church.17 NOTES: 14Karl Rahner,
Theological Investigations, Vol. III (Baltimore: Helicon, 1967), p. 44.

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 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 — 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 — Cycle C In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15 |

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD. — Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10 |
