A Few Thoughts

God is Love

When life is messy, when I am afraid -

I see Jesus, Victorious -
Death / Resurrection!

I see Jesus’ face from battle, His beauty, His breath of love -

I see Jesus in the robes of glory!

I see the Mass, the Church as it is today,

The gifts I have every day in Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist.

I cannot even verbalize that which I know in my heart,
the reality of the truth in Jesus, the Father’s Plan, eternal life.

Oh God, I know You so deep in my heart - this is reality - IN Him!!!!

Oh God, I scarce can breathe to receive You, Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.

God is Three Persons in one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I love You God, every day I know You more and the mystery of Your love.

God is love!!
God is Light and in Him is no darkness!!
God is purity - perfection in all holiness.

God is - and this is true and He longs for my heart-felt love given to Him.

How can you hold a Moon-Beam in your hand?

How can you touch a rainbow?

How refreshing can be a drop of water in the rain?

How warm to the skin is the sun on a chilly day?

How bright is the moon against the darkest night?

How beautiful the new-born baby sent by God into this world?

How beautiful - Christ, the first-fruits!!!

How can I verbalize the depth of God’s love?

God is!!! God is Omnipotent!! God is All Powerful!! God is Almighty!!
God is love, and He longs for our heart-felt real love given to Him.

Jesus remains truly-present in the consecrated host -
in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than when He walked the earth.
Jesus is waiting for us, our love in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus waits for us and our love. Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

When we die and see in judgement we will be so happy
for the most precious moments of tender love we spent with Jesus.
So much time wasted on idle, meaningless pursuits or selfishness.

Dear God I love You.
Give me Your Heart, oh Jesus, I want to love You with this new heart.
Amen. Alleluia!
Christ is Risen and He loves us, now, today.

Go to the Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus is waiting our love.
Amen.

Pray for the priest, the Church and the world.
The family that prays together - stays together.
God is Love.
Amen. Alleluia! This is Truth!

Love and Prayers,

Deeper love in Him only comes in surrendering to His will in love.

If we refuse His will, we are the ones “taking more in for ourselves”,
in emptying ourselves, even in suffering and fear,
we can know His touch filling us for obedience and love in surrendering to Him.

I know His love abundantly in surrendering in love to God’s will,
in emptying ourselves of my will and living by His will - He is in charge,

He can fill me when it's His agenda. (and I am empty, not full of me, my way).

When I am full of my will opposed to His will, I am full and I am in charge.

Come to me Lord and Possess my soul.

I want to have my life in You.

Amen, Alleluia!

Life is in Him!!

A Few Thoughts

Our young people are struggling, they need to know more
about the true presence in the Blessed Sacrament.

They don’t know their strength lies in this and obedience and structure.

There is so much focus in spreading your wings and
getting ahead here below.

We had the school rosary program to reach the school children,
Junior Shepherds of Christ.
It was not spread.

Jesus wants love relationships with children to old ladies and men.. . .

We need prayer, the rosary...

We need to be solidly rooted in the Holy Spirit to help us teach
the love of the Eucharist, the sacrament of Baptism is so important....

We need to turn to our spiritual Mother and pray the rosary,
Mary says: the family that prays together stays together.

I know Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament and
wants tender loving relationships with us and our children.

God is Person centered.

Even the Apostles Creed is so great for relationship with the Trinity.

Prayer is praying to God - person Centered.

Reality.

God loves us - what counts when we die is how we loved God,
others and loved ourselves as children of God.

God is love!!!

Love, Obedience to the Father’s will.

Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, our spiritual Mother,
through your powerful intercession help us to obey
and love God and spread this Good News.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I love You and trust in You.

We consecrate our hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Hearts of greatest love.

What is the message?

Love of Jesus!!

 

A Few Thoughts
July 27, 2026

I can see a symphony of love coming to me in the Mass.

The Father’s love for me to give us the Mass,
the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.

I know that intensity of receiving Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist.

The miracle of the words spoken and Jesus changes
the bread and wine into His Body and Blood,
Jesus, truly present in His Divinity and humanity and
the love and unity poured out in the Holy Spirit
with all the angels and saints, through the intercession of Mary -
Grace is outpoured - the greatest prayer, a symphony.

Now look at Jesus dying on the cross - His focus - His Father -
Moving ahead - glory and love for Father and us.

Is this not how the martyrs did it like St. Stephen?
Focused on the symphony of his love for God -
giving himself, drowning out the torture to play the love and
sacrifice like a loud symphony of love, sacrifice given to God.

When I am suffering, I turn to the symphony of His love
in the Mass, going on now around the world,
the symphony of God’s love for me in heaven to drown out the darkness.

Satan can come and try to divide, try to stop what is helping souls,
I focus on God, His love so great, His presence in my heart,
my love for my Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, Heaven, His Word.

It can drown out the evil one of division and darkness.

Love so great for God, focusing on this, His goodness,

My life here is short.

The silence of that love, the power in our heart likened to Jesus,
our little heaven on earth, dwelling in His Heart and Mary’s heart of love
can drown out the clamor of division and noise
from Satan so we can move ahead in strength.

The victory is in that presence IN Him -

The reality of God and it’s truth.

Jesus’ eyes on the cross - He was one with His Father in Divine love.

Focusing on God - the higher road
can block out the clamor of evil brought around us.

The world belongs to Christ, the Victory is won already.

God is.

This is reality - He is above, His love a symphony
above the clamor of noise that
the evil one uses to get our attention, division.

It comes in deepening every day that relationship
with God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
this is our life line.

Presence and focus on Him - what is above -

The Mass pours out grace for us wherever Jesus is truly
present in His Divinty and humanity in the Blessed sacrament -
The richest source of grace.

We know, love and serve Him first.

It blocks out the clamor of division and evil -
so we can see through Him, in His oneness with us
and do as the Father wills in love.
Seek the things that are above,
discipline your will.

And love mightily God - always: Father, Son and Holy Spirit -

A sanctuary for God in love always in our hearts.

Amen.

It’s like preparing for a hurricane.

We prepare by securing the house.

My love for God, the sanctuary build in one’s heart for God
is ever evolving, it is everything to us, first,

And then we can see these saints - how God was All in All.

That is the treasure without any price,
it is the final reward of heaven.

Seek the things that are above in the deepest love.

God is operating in us.
Don’t miss that opportunity to touch souls
while we are here in love, prayer,
in the quiet of our hearts.

Jesus spent 30 years the quiet life.

We would have probably had Him very busy.

He spent time alone with His Father, we know this.

We are created in the image of Jesus, we need this time alone
with Him and He is truly present in the Eucharist -
What a treasure is That!!!

Contemplatives, in action, as God calls each of us in our vocation,
in God’s will.

In love.

Consecrate Your Churches, Homes and Workplaces to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart

(To be read by leader or family member)

We should consecrate the human race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We should enthrone Jesus as King in all homes, churches and businesses.

June is the month of the Sacred Heart. Jesus must reign, be KING, of all hearts. Jesus' promises to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque are given. We should read them. We can consecrate our churches and places of prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus that He will reign there.

First Friday is a special day of devotion to the Sacred Heart. We have these booklets available that people will consecrate their homes, churches and businesses to the Sacred Heart. Will you help us encourage all to consecrate their homes, businesses and churches to the Sacred Heart? Will you help us spread these booklets?

We want the Sacred Heart of Jesus to reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary to triumph in all hearts. Will you pray for this with us and help us to spread this material?

Recommend to people that they display to be honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

May is the month of Mary and June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all about this consecration. During these months we can make a special effort to do this.

We can gather our friends and 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.

We should adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. This is such a gift God gives to us. Jesus loved us so much He gave His life for His precious souls. Jesus wants the souls to come to Him and love Him.

We are so gifted to receive Jesus in Holy Communion. Jesus has a Heart filled with love on fire for men. The more we unite to Jesus, the more we will become one with the Father and know His love.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

We can offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.

 

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.

       

            Morning Offering

    Dear Father,
    I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus
    in the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through
    the powerful intercession of Mary, our
    spiritual Mother, with all the angels and
    saints, and the souls in purgatory, for
    the priest, the Church, and the world.

    We love You God so much.
    We thank You and adore You and
    petition You for our needs. Amen.

Novena to St. Joseph, Patron and Father

Dear Saint Joseph,

I turn to you, you who cared and
protected the child Jesus and the
Virgin Mary.
You taught men and women, the
love of God by your example in life,
and by your faithfulness of living
your calling in greatest commitment
and love.

You loved Mary and Jesus with the
most gentle, bonds of love.

You showed us how you
lived in loving conformity to the
Heavenly Father's will.

You guided Jesus and Mary's precious
lives with the Holy Spirit, Spouse of
the Virgin Mother of God.

Protect us and our family this day and
every day of our lives, like
you did the Holy Family of Nazareth.
We seek your powerful intercession.

How intimately you knew and loved
Jesus and Mary. You were so close to
them. You showed us love.

Your heart was pure and gentle and
yet you were strong in being their
manly protector on earth, intercede
for us to depend more and more on
God for all our needs, for when we
are weak we are strong in God.

St. Joseph please intercede for a
peaceful and holy death for us and
our sick loved ones.
Amen.

St. Joseph help us now in this nine
day novena to you.
Amen.

  

May 14, 2024

R. Dear Holy Spirit come to me, possess
my soul, I love You, Holy Spirit.
When I am weak, I am strong in You.
Outpour Your precious love to me. Amen.
I love You, God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Dear Holy Spirit infuse in my intellect
wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Counsel me Holy Spirit from the mind of
God.

Help me, dear Holy Spirit to know the loving
embrace of God all the days of my life.
I turn to You. Amen.

When I find doing God's desire for my life
difficult give me the gift of fortitude, dear
Holy Spirit.
Sanctify my heart to act purely for the
honor and glory of God.
I may be willing, but I need Your gift to
give me courage to act as You desire.
Help me to know and love the heavenly
Father's will for me and to do it in love
for the honor and glory of God.

Help me to always put God first in my life,
in love for God in my heart.
Help me to walk realizing, I am the creature,
God is the Creator.

Help me to be patient and strong and
persevere in my life until I rest with Thee
forever in heaven.

Please Holy Spirit give me the gift of fear
of God that I do not offend you in sins
of unloving ways against God.
You are so good and deserving of all my
love.
I worship You and love You -
Help my interior disposition at Mass to be
that of purity in pleasing the Heavenly
Father, in my offering united to Jesus in
the Mass.
Dear Holy Spirit please help me in the gift
of piety to do that which pleases my Heavenly
Father with the tenderness as His little child.
Thank you God for all You give to me.
I pray this "All for the honor and Glory of
God". Amen.
 

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.

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.
Spread us all with the Precious Blood of
Jesus, cast the devil into the fires of hell,

R. Dear Mary,
My Mother, I love you so much.
Please take care of my needs in my family.
Ask your precious Son Jesus to help me
and my family.
You are the Mother of Jesus. You cared
so lovingly for Him in your life on earth.
You are His most perfect disciple.
Oh Mary, I love you so much, you are my
spiritual Mother.

There are many of my friends I ask you
to pray for, too.
I know your powerful intercession from
the wedding of Cana.
You stood beneath the cross on Calvary,
after you endured the bitter treatment of
your precious Son Jesus.
Oh Mary, you know so well the trials and
pains of life. Help me now, I turn to your
powerful intercession.

You stand by the altar at Mass and intercede
for Grace for us all day long, please never
abandon me, your little child.

Oh Mary I love you so, so much.

Oh Mary you are the Queen of Peace, please
help us in peace in the world, the Churchs,
the family, the work place for all your little
children of the world.
We need your help for peace now, hear our
pleas as we turn to your powerful intercession.
