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 Election and 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.

Fr. Joe died
July 17, 2023
Fr. Joe was always so nice
to me.
He was gentle and kind in
heart and always there for
me.
I was so blessed by his life.
Being a man is being like
Jesus. Fr. Joe was a man in
the image of Jesus.
Mary: I stood beneath the
cross of my Son.
I held His lifeless body.
Jesus was locked in the
tomb.

Many times a person dying
learns about living.
Life can speed on by and
we may not really know
about living, but we think
we do.
Jesus is life. Life is in Him.
He came to teach us about
life in Him, about really
living.

Birth of Jesus
1. Death, Fr. Carter says, is a
reality and it is not
something we hide from
ourselves but we look at
according to the vision of
God.
2. It reminds us of our
purpose here on earth, and
what is our purpose? Jesus
spells it out for us in this
Gospel.
John 15:5
“ I am the vine, you are the
branches.”
Fr. Carter says, Jesus says,
“Your purpose in life is to
grow ever, ever closer to
Me so to bear more fruit for
the Kingdom, and without Me
you can do nothing.”
3. … If our Union with Jesus
in love is what it should be,
everything else falls into place.
4. So let us not waste the
days of our existence.
Fr. Carter says: ”let the idea
of death be our good
companion, let us not be
afraid of it, but let the
thoughts of it remind us
each day not to waste the
opportunities of each day
but to use them to come
closer to the Sacred Heart,
to the Vine.
Let us, the branches,
become grafted to the Vine
ever more closely, for love
of Jesus, for love of all
those for whom He died
the brutal death on the
cross.”
5. Jesus came in a stable in
Bethlehem. Jesus came to
teach us about life. Life is in
Him.
6. God gave us birth, God
knows when we will die.
Don't be afraid of death. In
the Hail Mary we pray ..."
Now and at the hour of
our death, Amen."
7. We pray this 53 times in
the Rosary ( for death).
8. We were brought into the
world in birth, we will die.
God loves us and wants us
with Him in heaven.
9. Silent Night, Holy Night,
God loves us so much,
He came for love of us.
10. God has the Plan, why
would we oppose His Plan,
He is the Creator, we are
the creatures.

us love.
How much poison do we
keep in our hearts, to prove
we are right, when we are wrong.
I'm sorry, when we are
wrong frees us up.
Congested hearts, full of a
life of unforgiveness makes
our hearts hard.
Finding in the Temple
1. We don't want to lose
the real treasure, Jesus in
our hearts. Love is
freedom..
2. Anger binds us up, clogs
our hearts. (we must forgive).
3. Being lost is binding up
our hearts with darkness
and bitterness, being right,
when we were wrong,
anger, jealousy, envy,
unforgiveness.
4. God gives us the Church,
the 7 sacraments, Baptism,
a sharing in His life!!
5. If you saw a beggar that
was once rich, how sad
that would be, what about
men that give into mortal
sin denying it and won't ask
God for forgiveness.

soul with sins we deny.

us.

grace practicing our faith.

Sing: The Song From Jesus
When Mary first appeared
to me
July 5, 1994
She looked like an old
woman.
Her face was all cracked, I
thought it was tears,
But tonight
I associated it with Mary’s
broken image face.
