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.  

           

               July 3, 2021 

                R. Do we see the deathless stars –
                this reminds us of eternity – they
                shine every night in the sky.

                    Our lives as members of the
                mystical body of Christ are
                unique lives God has created
                to serve the world as we live.

                    Looking at our lives we
                see children at play, in school,
                learning love in the family,
                relationships, seeking a goal that
                can reach out and make this
                world a better place – more
                Christic like Christ.

                    Christ no longer walks the earth
                2000 years later – He gives us a
                sharing in His life in baptism and
                He gives us Himself in the Eucharist.

                    We are the body of Christ!

                    It says in the scripture –
                    My sheep hear My voice
                    I know them,
                    and they follow Me.

                    We are uniquely created by God.
                We are to bring Jesus to others
                as we live in this life. Our
                goal is to have our eyes
                eternally focused on Jesus. Our goal
                is to be more and more in the image
                of Jesus and to go home forever
                to be wrapped in God's everlasting
                love.

                    Jesus gave Himself and showed
                us love. He gave until there
                was no more to give. He gave
                Himself – we are to give
                ourselves to Him. We are
                Christians dedicated
                to Christ. We have a
                responsibility to do this if
                we call ourselves Christians.
                To walk with Him, to love more and
                more like Him. Christ wants others
                to see Him as we live and
                witness in this world to others.
                We work and live for the cause of
                Christ. One person can
                enormously make a difference
                in this world - living and being
                a Christian in this world.

                    Our lives make a difference.
                It makes a tremendous difference.
                We were wonderfully made by
                God. We can make a difference
                if we want to!

                    Christ can do this in us to the extent
                we are willing to give ourselves
                to the mission in our lives
                God has called us to.

                R. To the extend we refuse to give
                ourselves to Jesus, He
                cannot use us as He
                wanted to.

                We need enthusiasm to live
                for Christ despite suffering –
                We need to live for the cause
                Christ wants of us.
                See through God's eyes
                His plan for us. Put His plan
                first in our lives – Do not be
                tempted to focus on the lower
                road. See as God does – Pray
                for the grace to see as God
                wants us to see and give
                ourselves in His plan for
                our lives.

                    Jesus lived the quiet life
                for 18 years of His life –
                Ordinary days – Days
                important to the Father's
                Plan –

                    The ordinary days can be
                extraordinary days if we
                live them according to what
                God's Plan is for us
                that day –

                Say 'yes" as Mary did –
                Meditate on the Annunciation --
                Mediate on the Scriptures –
                on the lives of Jesus and Mary
                lives in the rosary –
                They said "yes" –
                "yes" – "yes" to the
                Father's plan for Them –
                They saw through the eyes of
                the Father –
                His design – His design for
                our lives too!!
                Ordinary days –
                Days blessed by God!
                We are the body of Christ!               

                Song: Live This Day

 

From a Lenten Homily, March 24, 2000

Live in the Moment

    Today’s Gospel in its story certainly points ahead to Jesus in His Passion and death. And as we read passages such as this during the Lenten season, we are reminded once again that the Church in her Liturgy of the Word gives us an opportunity to undergo a purification, an ever deepening cleansing of ourselves so that we may be a more fit instrument for receiving the great graces which are to be given to us at the time of the Resurrection memorial on Easter. And so all in all, Lent is a time of purification to prepare us for ever-greater gifts of the Lord. It’s a time of self-discipline, a time to renew our efforts to be self-disciplined in the service of the Lord. Self-discipline is an aspect of purification. And I suggest that one of the most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to concentrate on the present moment. We have a very strong tendency to disregard the importance of the present moment by focusing in a wrong way on the past or in a wrong way on the future. There are proper occasions for thinking of the past and the future. For example, we have to learn from the past and we have to prepare for the future, but our great emphasis has to be upon the present. There is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, age quod agis, which means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the present. And of course we are familiar with that term in the history of spirituality: the sacrament of the present moment. And so the discipline of Lent certainly encourages us to include in a deeper self-discipline a greater determination to get as much as we can out of the present moment. People with a terminal illness have an opportunity as they prepare for death for increased prayer, contrition, love of God. However, some are taken very, very quickly. But for those who have the opportunity of knowing with some certainty the time of their death, I’m sure as they look back on their lives, they are saddened by the many times they did not use time and opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A great means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus upon our Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much about the future or the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and deriving all the good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever greater focus upon Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I live with Him in the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present moment. And so let us in our Lenten activity resolve to grow in that self-discipline - which is very difficult at times - to really live in the presence with the fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help of God’s grace. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day of salvation.  end of Father Carter's homily

 

                R. We all have made mistakes – we
                learn from them to be more what
                God is calling us to –

                    God wants us to see His beauty –
                the deathless stars – the timelessness
                of this Movement and these
                writings God has called us to
                live by and circulate.

                    To heal – to make a difference
                in the world. We focus on
                the timelessness of eternity!
                Every day God calls us to labor
                in our lives for Him –
                The Good Shepherd laid down
                His life for the flock. We are
                the Body of Christ! See
                through God's eyes – pray
                for the grace we need most!
                Maintain our enthusiasm to
                plant the seeds the Father
                asks of us –
                despite the darkness around –
                Focus on the Good Shepherd
                that laid down His life
                for the flock.
 

                R. We need to Respond to Christ –
                Respond to God's Love –
                Live as God calls us –
                Shepherds of Christ –

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

Messenger:        God is a merciful God - He does not want
                              us to be prideful - He wants us
                              to stay united and say we are
                              sorry when we sin.

  5. If we remain faithful to the Lord until death, we too will receive a crown of life. In heaven shall be found every good.
  6. Such treasures for us in heaven! The eye has not seen, the ear has not heard the glories that await him who serves the Lord!
  7. Heaven is the kingdom of God. We are His heirs.
  8. There is no more thirsting for union with God, no more longing for Him. We will experience such intense union with Him forever.
  9. We will never want for love again. We will know His love.
  10. We will see the face of God and live.

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
