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.

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. We pray for the upcoming election.

 

                         Morning Offering

    Dear Father,
    I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus

In Honor of Our Beloved Priests

102nd Anniversary of Fatima
October 13, 2019

My dear priests, hierarchy and members of the mystical body of Christ,

    I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.

    Fr. Carter our founder wrote two very important books Response to God’s Love and Response in Christ.

    The following thoughts are inspired by these two books.

    God first loved us.

    We receive a sharing in Divine Life in baptism – our knowing and loving capacity is elevated.

    We are human creatures and yet we see God’s loving self-communication to us with our concomitant response to Him in love.
    Man rejected this self-communication of God in original sin.

    God on His part communicates His own life through grace and man in return gives himself to God and his fellowman in loving service.

    We can respond to this marvelous gift God gives to us as members of the mystical body of Christ – with Christ our head.

    We can be witnesses of Christ alive in us both in the Church and in the world because the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in a special way, in our graced, baptized soul.

    God wants such intimacy with us.

    I, Rita Robinson Ring, have learned a lot about the spiritual life from Our Lord in daily Mass and in spending at least one hour a day before the Blessed Sacrament where Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than when He walked the earth.

    I have been guided by Fr. Carter our founder and had the gift of my brother, Fr. Joe Robinson at Mass, Sunday, week days, funerals etc. and other priests who have helped us on our journey in Shepherds of Christ.

    Through the Priestly Newsletter of Fr. Carter we circulated 17,000,000 Newsletters to Priests and Hierarchy since 1994. This is Fr. Joe’s 13th book. We sent out most years to about 38,000 priests and hierarchy. We have circulated about 476,000 of Fr. Joe’s homily books over 12 years to priests and hierarchy.

    What a gift these homilies of Fr. Joe’s are as he teaches us about Responding to God’s love, being Christ a-live in this world as a witness to Jesus and teaching us about the Bread of Life: the Word and the Eucharist.

    We pray for the priests and have since 1994 in prayer chapters. Our prayers have been translated in 8 languages with the Imprimatur. We especially pray 8 days every month with Mass and the Holy Eucharist exposed most of the days for the priests, the Church and the world. We pray 24 hours every day and night in China before the exposed Eucharist for the priests and the Church.

    Please pray with us, the prayers, Fr. Carter, our Founder, gave us in 1994 centered in Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary praying for the priests, the Church and the world. Life is in Jesus.

With love,
Rita Robinson Ring and all at Shepherds of Christ

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.

Alleluia.

I pray Heavenly Father with all my heart,
in the Name of Jesus, united to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit,
with all the angels and saints and souls
in purgatory, through the powerful
intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater
to come to my aid now.

My loved one is very sick and he (she)

of need to have patience and wisdom to
deal with this now.

I give this sickness up to You, my God.
Please help me in dealing with this and
helping them in doing the right thing
and dealing with this.

I surrender this problem to You, my
Divine God.

Please send Your angels to help me.

Jesus, cast the devil into the fires of hell,

Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, Thank You.

Mysteries of Light

The Baptism of Jesus

1. Mark 1: 9-11

It was at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’

2. The Father’s voice was heard.
3. “This is My beloved Son in whom I am
    well pleased.”
4. The Holy Spirit was seen above Jesus’
    head in the form of a dove.
5. God gives us a sharing in His life in the
    sacrament of Baptism.
6. In Baptism our knowing and loving
    capacity is elevated.
7. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in
    the graced, baptized soul.
8. Our whole life should prepare us for our
    eternal life.
9. The Baptism of Jesus began Jesus’ public
    life.
10. Jesus, we love You as our Lord and
    Savior.

 

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. This was Jesus' first miracle of His
    public life.
3. Jesus changed water into wine.
4. God calls us to spread the Good News.
5. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
    sacramentally made present.
6. The priest is such a gift to us.
7. The priest brings us the Eucharist.
8. We should pray for our priests.
9. Think of the joy of heaven.

10. Sing: God's Love

 

Building the Kingdom of God

1. John 18: 36-37

Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’

2. We are either with Christ or not with Him.
3. We are creatures, God is our Creator.
4. God created us in love.
5. When we live according to God's will, we
    can co-operate and work in love with
    each other, together.
6. Report for your calling to God.
    Say “yes” to the Father’s will.
7. God calls us to answer His call. We must
    work together, if it is God’s Plan.
8. We are trying to do things the way God
    wants. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to
    do what God asks for, but we keep trying,
    if we know God wants something.
9. God wants to dwell in our hearts and we
    are a light to the world.
10. God created us uniquely special.
    God wants us to grow and be a model for
    others.

God made us beautiful, with a purpose.

People that are kind to others work on it
everyday.

They try to keep positive, listen when it
is God’s will, and answer God’s call to be
more and more like Jesus.

We were created in the image and likeness
of Jesus.

Are we trying to live according to God’s
will?
Do we live to please our Heavenly Father?
Who is first in our life?

Life has suffering.
We should live to be molded more and
more in the image of God.

God wants us to grow in His image and
likeness.

 

The Transfiguration

1. 2 Peter 1:16-19

When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.

2. The voice of the Father was heard.
3. "This is My beloved Son in whom I am
    well pleased, listen to Him."
4. The Father tells us to listen to Jesus.
5. The Father is well pleased with Jesus His
    Son.
6. We are to try to please our Heavenly Father.
7. Jesus is the Light of the world.
8. We should be His Lights in the world.
9. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
10. Jesus died for our sins.
 

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. The Eucharist and the Word is the Bread
    of Life.
3. Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist.
4. Jesus wants intimacy with us.
5. Jesus comes to us Body, Blood, Soul and
    Divinity in the Eucharist.
6. Jesus outpours His grace to us in the
    Eucharist.

7. Sing: I Love You Jesus

8. 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

9. 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

10. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

		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. $10

		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. $10

		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. $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
