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 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.

R. Your whole life is learning to
let go until you are taken at
that last moment. Jesus taught
us He gave His last breath and
the last drop of His blood.
We must let go of self at that
moment of death.
Our whole life is the life of
surrender, sacrifice, offering
to our Father, so we can return
to Him once again.
Jesus came,
Jesus died,
Jesus surrendered –
He gave His all –
Christ the first fruits.
Jesus rose triumphant from
the dead,
Jesus gives glory to the Father
in the resurrection.
Jesus gives His Father honor in
His obedience to the Father's will.
Jesus shows us His devotion
for the Father.
The Pascal Mystery –
Jesus showed us
Death / Resurrection
The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally made
present. We confess our sins and
ask for forgiveness at the
beginning of Mass – we unite
our offering in the Mass –
to the sacrifice of Jesus –
asking the Father - to accept
our sacrifice so we can
rise to new life in Him.
We surrender totally to God –
Letting go to God.
Jesus showed us surrender
to His Father's will –
Surrender is to give oneself
to God –
Jesus surrendered – giving His
life so that we could be
saved and so we could rise
to new life.
Jesus showed us surrender
surrender to the Father's
will and to live in
love.
Giving, Giving, Giving God
what He wants.
Giving in our lives to help
souls –
like Jesus did –
we don't have to die
on the cross –
We can be kind, loving, helping
souls, spreading this message,
the message God loves them
and wants them to
know them.
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.

R. The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally made
present for adoration,
thanksgiving, petition and
satisfaction.
We unite to this sacrifice
of Christ in the Mass and
offer with Christ, ourselves,
to the Father –
We as members of the
mystical body of Christ
have this special offering with Christ
because of baptism and
confirmation.
Christ, through the priest is
chief priest and victim.
The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary sacramentally made
present.
As members of the mystical
body of Christ we share in
the universal priesthood of
the faithful, but this is
not the same degree as
the priest.
We offer ourselves as a victim
united to Christ.
Paul VI said Mysteriu, Fidei
"It is a pleasure to add another
point particularly conductive
to shed light on the mystery
of the Church, that it is
the whole Church, which
in union with Christ
functioning as Priest and
Victim, offers the Sacrifice
of the Mass and as offered
in it."
We unite in the sacrifice of Christ
and offer ourselves.
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

Dear God the Father,
Please watch over me this day, as
your little baby girl, I need your help.
I pray united to Jesus’ sacrifice in
the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, with all
the angels and saints, through the
powerful intercession
of Mary Our Mother, Amen.

Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
R. In the beginning was the
Word…
Don’t you love the Word!!!
Bread of Life
Word
And Eucharist.
The Apostles were tested.
They had
Fortitude
Temperance
Prudence
Humility
Faith
Hope
Love.
Good habits - virtues.
How did the Apostles do it?
They had God.
The Holy Spirit.
The sacraments transforms
us!!
Fill us with His life more and
more, that is His grace!!!!!!
God made us to make us
saints.
Mary our model.
Her Immaculate Heart.

Happy Feast
Feast of the Immaculate
Heart.
The Spirit of God fills me to
bring good
news to the
people of the earth.
Come Holy Spirit come to
me, fill me with
your
wisdom and Your grace.
Oh God, I adore you.
The Holy Spirit filled the
Virgin Mary
and she
conceived the child Jesus.
Oh God fill me with Your
Spirit, Holy
Spirit endow me
with your gifts.
Let me grow more in the
image of Jesus.
Amen.
How you were in the job?
Did you treat
the job
mechanically, when
dealing with others? Or did
you treat the job with a
heart of kindness and love
focusing on
the other
relating to them? This is
what matters when you die
and are faced
with
judgment.
Jesus: I Call you to love
God with your
whole heart,
your whole soul and your
whole being and love your
neighbor as
yourself. I call
you to service. How you
treat others is how you
treat Me.
I am your God.
You were created in My
image and
likeness.
What matters is how you
loved, how you
obeyed
God.
How you were what God
wanted you to be.
Look at Mary’s Immaculate
Heart of love.
Mary lived to do what God
wanted.
Mary lived to do the
Father’s will in
love.
Mary, your model, perfect
handmaid of
the Lord.
Mother of Love.
Mary, full of grace.
Mary, filled with the Holy
Spirit.

To be able to give is a gift.
To be able to give is a gift.
June 25, 2022
R. Jesus showed us Mary
Magdalene.
Jesus showed us the good
thief.
Jesus showed us St.
Augustine.
Jesus showed us Saul and
St. Paul.
All were forgiven and
converted.
Mary said at Fatima we
must Convert. Listen to me,
Mary says.
Jesus showed us,
He loved us to His death on the
cross, Jesus paid for
our sins.
Forgiveness comes from
letting go.
Forgiveness and mercy
God gives to us if we seek
it.
Even after Adam and Eve
sinned, God gave them
skins to cover their naked
bodies.
God promised to send a Savior.
People can change if they
want to, but they must have
that goal and ask
for God’s
help. They must want to
change.
Love finds a way or
forgiveness and mercy
wouldn’t happen.
An eye for an eye, a tooth
for a tooth mentality, would
make us all blind
and
toothless and does not work.
Jesus’ Sacred Heart is
consumed with love for us.
Let us give our hearts to
Jesus and Mary,
our little heaven on earth.
May 5, 2019
R.
It’s what is in the heart.
That’s what matters.
Not cold work treatment of
others.
God is love.
Love finds a way.
To be able to give is a gift in
itself.
Giving and receiving.
June 25, 2022
R.
God is unity and light.
When we will be judged, we
will not be judged on how
much "stuff" we did while
we were unkind to others.
It's the spirit of love and
community.
Jesus: I call you to love and
kindness toward those you
live with, work with, your
family.
The devil tells people to
think of themselves, act like
the job is more important
then others.
After you have died will it
matter how you didn’t even
recognize others, while you
thought only of yourself
and almost ignored others?
What mattered in your life
was how you were what the
Heavenly Father created
you to be.
Do not get caught up in
others' cruelty toward you.
Stay on the high road.
Be obedient to those laws and
people God wants you to
obey.
Many serve others in love
and some are jealous of
their kindness.
I call you to loving ways.
I call you to obedience to
God’s Law.
I command you to love.
June 26, 2022
Dear Holy Spirit fill our
hearts. Infuse in our
intellects the gifts of
knowledge, wisdom,
understanding and council,
help us to have the fruits
of
the Holy Spirit, kindness,
joy.
June 26, 2022
R.
Have faith God hears our
prayers and answers them
in the right time.
We must pray for faith.
Faith, Jesus worked
miracles.
Do we have faith?
Jesus listens to our prayers.
He answers our heartfelt
prayers, we must have faith.
We can’t be doubting
Thomases.
Every Mass is so important.
The Mass is the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally made
present.
Do we believe in the real
presence of Jesus?
God has a Plan.
Do we trust Him?
Do we have faith?
Jesus was a team player.
Jesus ate with those He was supposed to.
Jesus
chose 12 men and worked with them.
Jesus performs miracles in our lives.
Pray hard and have faith.
Live virtuously.
Pray for the gifts of the
Holy Spirit.
June 26, 2022
R. Jesus chose a motley crew
of men and Jesus wooed
them with His miracles and
teachings, His presence.
They were ordinary men.
Jesus: If you have a question and
answer session every time
I tell you to do some things,
nothing will be smooth, in
order to produce the
Father’s will, you must listen
and do as I ask. It’s just a mess.
I ask for a drink, will you do
My Father’s will, bring unity-
not separation or argue
with Me.
People that produce fruit
work to bring about unity,
love, building a community
of love.
Home is where the heart is.
Be a team player.
I am watching, I know all
you think and do.
What you love is who you
serve.
I worked with the 12
Apostles.
I call you to work together.
This brings success.
Pray to do My will.
Pray to the Holy Spirit.
See yourself before God at
judgment how did you
love.
How did you live to do My
will, not your own way?
How did you love God with
all your heart, all your soul,
all your being.
Follow Me.
Why argue?
Just do as I say.
R. Think of the Apostles.
They had to listen to Jesus.
Use His gift for His purpose.
Jesus: Passion to help build
My kingdom.
I am the way, the truth and
the life.
There is one way, God’s
will,
When you do My Father’s
will in love - there is unity.
R. Do we deserve all God has
given to us, be thankful.
Jesus walked with the
Apostles, a man. Jesus,
walked the earth like us.
Jesus taught the Apostles.
The Apostles listened and
obeyed Him.
Jesus is the light of the
world.
Jesus is life.
Mary was Jesus’ most
perfect disciple.
Mary always obeyed the
will
of the Heavenly Father.
Mary is the perfect
handmaid of Jesus.
Mary followed her Son’s
way.
Mary is the New Eve, Mary
was obedient to God.
Holy Spirit Prayer
Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.
Prayer for Holy Spirit
We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.
June 27, 2022
R. Jesus healed the sick.
Jesus performed many
miracles of healing, have
faith.
Dear God the Father in the
name of Jesus, we pray for
healing, through the
intercession of Mary, in the
Holy Spirit, through the
intercession of the angels
and saints and souls in
purgatory. We pray united to
the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass.
We pray in one mind and one
heart for healing!!!
Help us God, please, we
pray.
The autumn leaves fall from
the trees and soon they are
barren, but many return with
new life in the spring.
I watched a birch tree in our
back yard shed it’s leaves
and it is June.
Not too many leaves just a
few in golden color.
What God gives us is
beautiful many times even
when we must endure
suffering.
God brings greater and
greater beauty to the soul
filled with grace.
Fr. Carter would say we
couldn’t even stand the light
coming from our own
graced, baptized soul.
We receive greater and
greater grace by living the
Father’s will in love.
Loving God and other’s
makes our soul more and
more beautiful.
In November I received
these beautiful Seven
Sorrows of Mary.
I didn’t know my sister’s
cancer would come back at
the end of November and
Mary was near death as I
read these meditations in her
hospice room.
She looked up to the ceiling,
eyes opened wide and her
head and face covered with
light and peace as I read
them.
Fr. Carter put this promise
from the 7 sorrows in the
prayer manual prayers.

The Seven Sorrows
The Prophecy of Simeon
R.
Mary, you went to the temple with your little baby Jesus, so full of joy
and proud of the little baby and Simeon told you
"This child is destined for the fall and rise of Israel, and a sword too
will pierce your heart, oh Mary."
You knew of sufferings to come, Mary, joys and sufferings, because to know God, like we do on earth, there are sufferings and joys to know God more and more deeply.
Oh God we know of Your promise to those who love and serve You, and yet we too know we are called to endure suffering daily sometimes, and in our lives here below.
Jesus, You
showed us You carried the heavy cross to Calvary, You mounted it and
died a brutal death for love of us.
Love of others, bids us to endure the sufferings of this life and to
know more joy in knowing God and the everlasting life still to come in
heaven.
Oh most
Sacred Heart of Jesus Your love for us is a burning flame of endless,
enduring love.
Thank You,
Amen
The Flight into Egypt
R.
Babies today are slaughtered in their mother’s womb in abortion.
We see the slaughter of the innocent that made the Holy family have to
flee into Egypt.
Suffering, killing little ones God created in love by evil men.
Oh God, slaughter of children occurred in the Holocaust, brutal,
terrible killings of babies and young children, some in the arms of
their mother led into gas chambers and showers.
Children separated from parents, watching parents persecuted and some
seeing their death.
Slaughter
of the innocent.
Slaughter of innocent minds.
Evil done to little children in sex abuse.
Oh God, Oh my Jesus, You and the Holy Family knew the sufferings that
love endured.
You taught us - love sacrifices, obeys God’s will and gives - putting
God first and obedience to the commandments of God.
Dignity,
respect, love, obedience to God’s Law,
Putting God first.
The Holy Family suffered the flight into Egypt.
A sword too will pierce your heart, Oh Mary,
And Mary said "May it be done to me according to your word." Mary
suffered so for her children she loved so much. The children of the
world - love suffers, Love sacrifices.
Jesus was Lost in the Temple
R.
Mary and Joseph suffered so looking for Jesus for 3 days.
Three days losing one’s child must have felt like a long time, but they
knew on top of this, it was Jesus, The Son of God.
Suffering,
think of all the moms and dads that have children lost in their
spiritual life.
Is this a big cross?
Mary appeared over and over again at the Holy Spirit Center, crying out
about her lost children of the world.
Mary’s message was hard to experience.
Mary‘s
Message -
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I
saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and
give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this
message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I
stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried
for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How
do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject
me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored.
The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and
I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart
was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this
day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to
help my children. You are my children of light.
R.
Mary loves us more than any earthly mother.
To Mary old people lost are her lost children.
Mary begs
us to take the message of Our Lady of Clearwater seriously.
Last 5th she said, "souls are going to hell tonight" and begged us not
to block her message.
Oh, please help us deliver this message of Mary.
A sword too, will pierce your heart, oh Mary.
Mary and Jesus meet on the way to Calvary
R.
Oh Mary looked into the face of Jesus, His head beaten, bloodied and His
head crowned with thorns.
Jesus was in such suffering, His torn body, carrying the heavy cross
with our sins.
Jesus saw
her red, tear-filled face, her pain so terrible, and Their eyes met in
sorrow and joy of deep unity between this Mother and Son.
There is joy in deep suffering. It is unity, many times, deep unity to
God.
Oh the eyes
of Jesus met Mary, comfort and agony both. Comfort and agony beyond our
comprehension.
Love is sacrifice, we see.
Love can be the deep suffering of carrying a cross too, or just daily
suffering,
with addiction, loss, disease, heartache, abuse,
and many more...
Mary cries
for she knew how much Jesus suffered and she suffered for men who reject
God’s love, some losing their souls in serious sin without repenting -
in stubborn anger and hatred.
And Mary cried for her children and a sword too will pierce your heart,
Oh Mary. Amen.
Jesus Died on the Cross
R.
What can we say of the suffering there.
Mary said it, crying as she spoke.
