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. Jonah did not want to obey God!
                    Jonah didn't want to go in
                    and straighten out Nineveh –
                    He went another way –
                    He boarded a boat –
                    A storm came up
                    Jonah was thrown overboard –
                    a Divine Plan for Jonah

                When we run away from God's
                    calling, things get worse!!

                Do we make decisions on God's
                    Plan or is it because
                    we are rejected or
                    accepted – we think –

                Our vocation is based on God's will.

                The Holy Spirit gives us His gifts
                    Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
                        Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
                        and Fear of the Lord 

                We need courage –
                We need faith –

                God is the ultimate mystery –
 

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.

 

                R. We can't make decisions on if
                    we think it is easy or
                    difficult.

                Fr. Carter says "Do God's will if He
                    asks you to carry a boulder
                    or a pebble."

                Do you make decisions if you are
                    in control –

                Being afraid, like Jonah, is not
                    an excuse to not do it.

                Look at Pope John Paul II
                    He had courage to go to Poland
                        in 1979 –
                    This changed the world –

                To obey God
                    means doing it in God's
                    timing –
                    How He wants it.

                Jesus lived the quiet life from age
                    12 to 30. He lived in a family
                    with Joseph and Mary.

                We would have tried to get Jesus
                    to be busy.

                Obeying God means –               

                Doing it when He wants –
                    How He wants –
                    In His timing –
                    the way He wants –

                God expects us to obey Him –

                Obedience –

                Jesus showed us obedience!
                Obedience is the best way –

                Obedience is doing the will of God –

                God is over –
                God is ruler –
                God is in control

                God gives us a free will –

                We can obey God –

                Or disobey God and make choices
                    that can cause heartache –
                    suffering and disaster –
                    for ourselves and others –

                God is the ruler of the entire
                    universe

                God has the right to rule
                    over us –

                I must have faith to be able
                    to obey Him –

                I must pray for the grace
                    to obey God.

                Unbelief is an enemy to
                    obedience.

                Living in disobedience –

                    Rebellion has consequences.

                    Wars –
                    Disorder –

                God is Sovereign in the Universe

                God has the plan –

                Obedience takes courage –
                    fortitude –
                    it's not easy –

                God wants us to be strong and
                    courageous.

                The Israelites disobeyed –
                    God took Moses –
                    God called Joshua –

                Who would like the job of ruling
                    over disobedient Israelites?

                Obedience requires courage –

                Wait for the Lord –

                God's timing

                Wait on the Lord –

                Why do we disobey God?

                God's timing is perfect.

                God has a plan –

                We can disobey God and do
                    our own will –

                The Best is doing God's will, in
                    God's timing –

                If we don't we lose out!

                We need to read the Word –

                Listen to the Word –

                Live by the Word –

                The Bible, the Word is the
                    text book for our life –

                God makes His will
                    known to us –

                We pray for the Holy Spirit –

                Discern what is God's will.

                We are not to formulate an
                    agenda –

                Obey God's authority –

                    God works in order

                We can keep working a math
                    problem the wrong way
                    and get the wrong
                    answer no matter
                    how many times we do it
                    because it's familiar but
                    it's wrong –

                To obey God we must not sin.

Ephesians 4: 25-32

So from now on, there must be no more lies. Speak the truth to one another, since we are all parts of one another. Even if you are angry, do not sin: never let the sun set on your anger or else you will give the devil a foothold. Anyone who was a thief must stop stealing; instead he should exert himself at some honest job with his own hands so that he may have something to share with those in need. No foul word should ever cross your lips; let your words be for the improvement of others, as occasion offers, and do good to your listeners; do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God who has marked you with his seal, ready for the day when we shall be set free. Any bitterness or bad temper or anger or shouting or abuse must be far removed from you-as must every kind of malice. Be generous to one another, sympathetic, forgiving each other as readily as God forgave you in Christ.
 

                R. If we are going to listen to
                    God we must quit
                    sinning –

                If we sin and offend God
                    we tell Him we're sorry.
                    He forgives the penitent
                    sinner –

                The devil says –
                    "Act like you did nothing
                    wrong – lie about it –
                    blame it on somebody
                    else – hold out – don't
                    budge."

                That is seeking power and           
                    darkness –
                    Holding out instead of
                    doing God's will today is
                    sinning more and more and
                    more –

                If we disobey God we ask for
                    forgiveness
                    RIGHT AWAY

                We are sorry –           

                We repent –

                We have a firm purpose
                    of amendment – not
                    to do it again!!

                I deal with it –

                NOT hold out and disobey
                    God for weeks, months, etc. –

                God calls us to walk where
                    we may not know where
                    we are going –

                God told Abraham –
                    to go –
                    He would show Him –

                God gives us a command –
                    we may walk in the
                    unknown –

                God leads us on our path –

                In the Blue Book –
                    He takes us by the hand –

                God is awesome –

                We must admit when we are
                    rebellious –               
                    wanting control –
                    trying to get our way –
                        over authority –
                    think only of ourselves –
                    selfishness –

                God has a plan for unity –
                    working together –

                We need to pray to God for help
                    to do His will –
                    get rid of selfishness –
                    Have to be in control –
                    Have our own plan –

                Get rid of Self - Righteousness

                Ask God to clean our willful
                    hearts –

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. Ask for forgiveness

                Beg for courage to be
                    obedient –

                We ask God to lead us, but
                    we must be obedient
                    to Him –

                Beg for God's blessings –

                What we do has eternal
                    consequences

                Dear Holy Spirit fill us with light –

                Do not give into the deadly sins –                 
                    pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust,
                    gluttony, and sloth

                Are we ready for God?

                Were we surprised with the
                    Corona - virus –

                How quick things changed.

                What is right?

                What is wrong?

                Do we demand we get our way
                    and act in disorder?

                Are we true to our word?

                Are we trust-worthy?

                Are we obedient to rules?

                Do we respect authority?

                Jesus is the King of our hearts!

                SIN is Bondage

                Suffering,
                Disaster,
                Disorder?

                From Fr. Joe

4th Sunday in Ordinary Time

February 1, 2015

HOMILY – From the very beginning of Mark’s gospel, Mark wants us to know who Jesus is. He introduced his gospel with the words: “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Eight verses later John the Baptist testifies that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit. Three verses after that Jesus is baptized and God in Heaven speaks to Jesus: “You are my beloved Son. With you I am well pleased.” If we read down a few more verses, to verse 24, Mark again tells us about Jesus. This information comes from a very unexpected source, the devil, who acknowledges Jesus as “the Holy One of God.” The people in the synagogue are impressed with the power in Jesus’ teaching and they consider him a prophet; but the evil spirit already knows who Jesus is. By the way, this is the first miracle mentioned by St. Mark. He not only wants us to know who Jesus is but he wants us to know Jesus was not afraid of the evil powers in this world and was willing to face them head on.

When we were in catechism class, we were taught that temptations come from the world, the flesh and the devil. We’ve all experienced how the world and the flesh can lead us astray, but many people think of the devil as a myth. In my 50 years as a priest, I am convinced through the daily news and through counseling I have done that devils are for real. Devils are smart enough not to make themselves obvious. That way they can work more effectively because we are not aware that they are busy doing their thing. I believe that Jesus’ experience with demons was also real. I would grant that years ago epilepsy or mental illness was considered to be caused by demons, but I believe in other cases, it was the real thing Jesus was fighting against. Exorcisms make up the largest single category of healings in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. I have two last points.

1) Jesus is admired by many people today. He is considered a good person, a person who cared greatly about others and a great teacher. The Moslems even consider him a great prophet. But that’s all he is in the minds of many people. We, as Christians, see him differently. He is not someone whom we can choose to follow or ignore depending on whether we agree with him or not. He is the Holy One of God; he is God’s Son. When he speaks to us, we must listen to him. That’s one of the reasons why we come to Mass on Sunday. The whole first part of the Mass focuses on hearing God’s word and reflecting on it.

2) The devil: We don’t hear much about the devil except in jokes. But the devil is not a joke. The Scriptures take him seriously. I have mentioned that in my experience as a priest and counselor, I definitely have come to believe there are evil powers at work in the world, which are called devils. I’ve never had any dramatic experiences like in today’s gospel or like the movie The Exorcist, which, by the way was, in most respects, based on a true story. Here’s why I think most of us are not aware of the devil’s strategy, it’s because the devil approaches us from where we are the weakest. The devil is very subtle. For example, if we’re angry, the devil simply encourages us to keep feeling that way, and the devil may even suggest additional reasons why we should be boiling with anger. The same goes with other weaknesses, such as hatred, envy, laziness, pride, lust, greed, gluttony, etc. There is one stronger than the devil who will help us if we ask. He is a prophet greater than Moses – he is the Holy One of God and is God’s Son. Ask his help in time of temptation. Amen.

 

                R. I remember Jesus saying –
                    You will miss it when it
                    is gone.

                Is our attitude – an attitude of
                    gratitude or do we want
                    to punish people and
                    hold them at bay because
                    of an angry heart –

                Do we think God has no right
                    to expect us
                    to get out of our high
                    tower and serve in
                    our vocation –

                An attitude of service in our vocation
                    in love – giving – wanting to
                    help the other – being unified –
                    being thankful for our health,
                    funds, our ability to build
                    God's Kingdom and give
                    with a generous heart.
 

Prayer from St. Ignatius

Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;   
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing
                    that I am doing your will.

 

 

                R. We examine our conscience to
                    ask for grace to strengthen
                    us against temptation –

                "...To lead us not into temptation
                    as we forgive those who trespass
                    against us."

                How is a bridge that is broken –

                Our bridge to our house needs
                    repair –

                It's so hard, not being able
                    to use that bridge –

                It is closed for 75 days!

                It's God's Plan

                    How is it when a
                person closes the bridge
                to what God wants them
                to do in bringing about
                His plan – for weeks,
                months, while they
                disobey God's will every
                day they hold out –               

                like a broken bridge!

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

                child.

                    Sing Veni Sancte Spiritus

                    Say Holy Spirit Sequence

 From the Lectionary

                        Pentecost Sequence

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.

                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
