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.

R. Love is giving for the
good of the other –It is in giving you
receive –Love is like Jesus –
Jesus gave so much for
the sins of men.The more a man closes in
in hatred, not admitting
his sins, the more he
refuses giving to others.
Then he justifies why he
is right in his anger
and many times punishes
the person they project their
hatred on –The measure is how does
God possess a soul
and they operate in
love as He gives and
operates in them.Anger is from the evil one,
anger projected against
an innocent other
for hatred and darkness
in oneself.Oh God, I love Thee so much –
Let my soul carry your
love so I can eternally
be in your presence
forever.My soul thirsts for Your
light and Your love –
Oh my God be my rock
to carry Your light
in my heart, possess
my soul, my God –
fill me with the Holy
Spirit, the Spirit of
perfect love and
life.In Him I know Joy, only
in my God.How He was beaten and
abused for the sins of
selfishness and anger
and pride –Denied by the man who
lies about his anger
and hatred and never
admits he has offended
God in his punishment
of innocent others.The body is such a
beautiful gift God gives us
to live to grow to be
more perfected in love and
be like Him.God is light and in Him
is no darkness. In Him
is eternal salvation.
In Him is love and kindness
and understanding.
In Him we live and have
peace and joy and hope.The man full of darkness and
anger, is not happy
lying to himself about
his sins.If a man is sick with a disease
he wants to be healed and
can seek healing.Why would a man hold onto
hatred – when God
commands us to love
to have eternal
salvation.A well was empty, not
one drop of water –
a thirsty boy came
seeking water – no
matter how much he
wanted or needed the water
he could get not a drop from
the empty well.How can a person who
refuses the truth
about his sins have
the love of God
operating in him?An empty well gives no
water – no matter how
much we want it to
give.Love comes from God – God
is the source of love.Jesus shows us how He
gave His all for love of us.
Love gives –To live a life of joy rooted
in Jesus.Love is giving for the good
of the other –My God, I love you so much,
I need you to fill me
more and more with
you.I Trust and love you.

R. There is a battle.
The battle between good and evil.
We see the devil in the Garden of Eden.
The battle goes on.
Man can operate in order or disorder.
The first commandment tells usGod must be first.
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
R. God is above.
We were created by God.
We are under God.
The devil wants to be in control.
The devil works in those who give into him.
Yesterday Jesus told me to put out a message in the Pre-Blue Book.
From God's Pre-Blue Book 2
28 Years Ago
July 26, 1993
Never Doubt Me, My Child
Jesus:
My child, I comfort you, listen with an open heart. I am alive, quit doubting Me – that is the source of your anxiety – to have any doubt is unsettling. You know I am with you now. I am standing by your side. I am in your heart. I am in the tabernacle. I am filling you with My presence, feel Me surrounding you, it is awesome to know how close I am to you. I truly love you, My child. Hold tight to Me, as a child holds so tight to a mother’s hand, hold tight, feel Me surrounding you. I am that close to you at every moment. Don’t move away from Me; focus on My face, on My presence, on knowing I am there for you. My child, I love you so much. Don’t ever doubt this again. Don’t get engulfed in fear, My ways are not fear, they are security and assuredness, they are direct, they are not fear. Let go and let Me engulf you and all else is dismissed. The devil keeps telling you to doubt – feel Me surrounding you, I am here.I am your God. I am with you. Feel My presence with you. I dwell within you, so you must keep yourself so holy. You must guard your mouth, guard your ways, guard yourself against satan, satan is a liar – he is ever ready to get you to give into him. Spray Holy Water – Say “Jesus, tell satan to go away!” He has no power over anyone unless you permit him to enter! Guard yourself against his attacks, he is always out for the children. Be attentive and present to them, tell them about Me constantly. Satan is a liar - he wants you to seek power and independence from authority. Don’t listen to satan, listen to Me. The children are so precious to Me. Protect them from his harm, keep your rosary with you, be protected. I am your God and you know you must protect yourself, the devil wants trouble.
Do not enter into discussions, or arguing,
walk away. Do not be a party to any arguing or belaboring of a point. The devil wants argumentation. Be so steadfast in what I tell you. Read these letters as textbooks. They are instructions for you to follow, tape them and listen, make My love so real to you, you never doubt Me. There is no room for doubt, that is when satan moves in, you need to be filled and trust Me. Memorize My letters. What more do you need? I am talking to you. Do not doubt My love for you. Take the fear from your heart.I am truly here now, see Me here, listen to Me, My child, no doubt! Cast the devil aside. Come to Me. Pray to Me. Be with Me. Focus on Me. I am first in your life. I am guarding you now. Follow Me! Spread the good news that I am alive and I am God who created heaven and earth.
Focus on Me and My light. I am the Light that shines in the darkness making ready the way of the Lord. I am the supreme comforter, lover and always there for you and always by your side loving you. When others are mean, I am there to love you. You are never alone. I am always with you in all things. I always see the snide looks, the ugly, haughty gestures; they are doing those things to Me. I am your God and I am there for you. I never leave you orphaned and alone. I am by your side. You never suffer alone. See the ugliness of others, when they sin. Do not fight with satan, turn to Me instead. Don’t grip a snake.
I bathe you in a bath of love and I am God. I love you always. I tell you of My love at every moment. LISTEN – I am never busy and not there, I am there always. Turn to Me!

R. The struggle is power.
The devil wants to rule, to bring darkness, division, chaos, confusion.
Genesis 3: 15
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.’
R. The Church is under attack.
The devil as it says in the message above is a liar.
If a person gives satan control they give up their power,
the devil's grip is paralyzing and crippling as Jesus says.Mary appeared at Fatima and warned us to listen.
We must convert.
We must pray, offer up our sufferings for the world.
We must pray the rosary for peace.
Mary is the Queen of Peace.
The devil wants division.
God wants us united to Him in intimate relationships.
Mary and Jesus says to consecrate our hearts to Their Two Hearts.
Mary called us on the 5ths and 13ths to pray.
We have done this on the 5th 27 years and on the 13ths 25 years.
Mary appeared Our Lady of Clearwater looking like the Lady of Guadalupe.
R. Mary appeared December 17, 1996 - That will be 25 years this year.
This was 5 days after the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
On October 13, 1996 Jesus began the 13ths - 25 years ago.
We must stop offending God.
Obey the commandments.
Put God first.
Convert in our lives.
Pray the rosary for peace.
At Fatima, Mary warned Russia will spread her errors around the world if we do not heed her warning.
Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
October 13, 1917
On October 13, 1917, there were more than 70,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come to observe a miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three young visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. (1) Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three visionaries:
As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet—the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.
After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time—three times in all—within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.
When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions. (2)
NOTE: 2. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven
(Rockford:TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.7-8.
R. Look at the persecution they gave to the 3 children of Fatima.
The children were persecuted for delivering the message.
Look at the awful effects of World War II.
Look at the Covid now and how we suffered and Masses were cancelled.
We must pray.
Jesus gave Fr. Carter this message July 31, 1994 27 years ago.
July 31, 1994
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."

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 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 — 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 — 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 |
