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. You must love the Lord your God
                    with your whole heart, your whole
                    soul and your whole being and love
                    your neighbor as yourself.

                We need balance to do as God wants –
                    Being in the habit of disobeying
                    authority over us and law shows
                    us we probably think we don't
                    have to obey God either.

                Jeremiah told the King what to do and
                    the King tortured Jeremiah –

                When time was close after disobeying
                    Jeremiah, the King asked him
                    what he could do –
                    Jeremiah told him he could
                    still obey, but he would go
                    to prison or be a slave –

                The King didn't like that –

                The Babylonians attacked the Jewish
                    Kingdom and held it for 50
                    years – the Jews suffered
                    terrible persecution and loss –

                The King's sons were killed
                    before his own eyes –
                    then King Nebuchadnezzar,
                    put the King's eyes out –

                With Martha and Mary – Jesus defended
                    Mary against her sister –
                    she needed to be with Jesus –
                    not busy and mad –

                The Good Samaritan had to go
                    out – put himself out
                    there –

                Mary sat and waited on the Lord –

                We need to give God what He wants –
                    not write our own script –

                Co-operate with God in the
                    Father's Plan
                    Serve God – not oppose the
                        Father's Plan –

                We go to the Holy Spirit and pray to know
                    God's will –

Seventh Sunday of Easter - May 24, 1998 (excerpt)

HOMILY: ... The unity that our Lord talks about presupposes some leadership. Someone has to be in charge. If you asked a dozen people to interpret some part of scripture, or to tell you what God thinks about some issue, you would probably get a dozen different answers. Someone has to have the last word if there is going to be some unity, or people will be going in a dozen different directions. Christ was no dummy. He knew that. He had a dozen Apostles with him all the time and he knew some of the debates and discussions they got into. He gave Peter the job to be the rock, the source of stability, the focus of unity, the one to hold them all together. Again we get back to the need for the Church and the way Christ established it if we are going to be faithful to Christ, and not just be going off on our own.

    Our unity with each other is not just for our own personal well-being, but it affects in a most important way the whole saving work of our Lord. Our common belief, our common set of values, our oneness in prayer and most of all in love tell the world about Jesus. Jesus said, “I pray that they may be one in us, that the world may believe that you (Father) sent me.” The church’s mission, which means your mission as well as mine, is not just to save ourselves, but to bring God’s saving grace and life to others too. Staying united is one of the primary ways we will do it. When we all go our own individual ways, our efforts become significantly less effective.

    We’re all together in this world; we’re all together in our spiritual journey too. Jesus wants us to live as one with him and as one with each other. This was his greatest desire for us his followers. This is one of the experiences that mystics have described. Mystics, those who are closest to God, have an innate sense of how interconnected we all are. I want to tell you the story of an old man whose experience at the Washington Vietnam Veterans Memorial was somehow a mystical experience. He was weeping noticeably as he stood at the Memorial. Moved by the sight, a young man waked over to the old man, put his hand on his shoulder and said, “Is one of these yours, sir?” The old man said softly, “Not one of them, son! All of them!”  end of excerpt

 

                R. Elisha gave total commitment to
                    his vocation and didn't look
                    back –

                Fr. Joe talked about the 4 last things –

                    Death
                    Judgement
                    Heaven
                    Hell

                His students wanted
                    peace
                    joy
                    love
                    happiness

                Jesus' days were numbered –
                    He had to follow His Father's Plan –

                If we follow Jesus we can
                    handle suffering more easily and
                    this will lead us to serve
                    God as we should and follow
                    in Jesus' footprints –

 

Birth of John the Baptist

June 24, 2012

HOMILY – Since I gave a long introduction, I do not have a very long sermon. One of Aesop’s most famous fables is the story of the ant and the grasshopper.

    The story goes like this: In a field one summer’s day, a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil a kernel of corn he was taking to the nest. “Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?” “I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same.” “Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present.” The Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came, the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: “It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.”

    Even 2500 years ago, people knew the importance of preparing for the future. It’s still just as true today. If we do not learn this lesson when life is good, we’ll learn the hard way when it’s too late. This goes for education, investing, health and all kinds of important areas of life. John the Baptist’s role in life was to insist on the need to prepare. He called people to repent and prepare for the coming of God’s kingdom. His message is as important today as it ever was. There is a kind of new age theology that follows the attitude of the Grasshopper. It says don’t worry. Everybody is going to be in heaven in the end (except for someone like Hitler). Although God wants all people to be saved, there are abundant passages in the Scriptures that warn us that we cannot take salvation for granted. Jesus, who came to save us and who revealed to us so clearly the love of God, warned us: “The door to heaven is narrow. Work hard to get in, because many will try to enter and will not be able.” (Luke 13:23) Jesus’ message at the beginning of his ministry was the same message as John the Baptist: “repent and believe in the gospel.” The word “believe” means more than saying, “I believe.” It means putting our belief into action. Statistics keep coming out that fewer and fewer people are coming to Church, which is an indication that more and more people believe that worship of God is not all that important. I think it’s the entitlement mentality. We feel entitled to be happy (even eternally), no matter what we do or how we live. That’s not what the Scriptures tell us. I think the most important lesson we can learn from this feast of John the Baptist is to prepare. The fact you are here today is one good sign that you understand we need to prepare to meet our God. Amen.

 

1 Kings 19: 16, 19-21

  You must anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king of Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, as prophet to succeed you.

Leaving there, he came on Elisha son of Shaphat as he was ploughing behind twelve yoke of oxen, he himself being with the twelfth. Elijah passed near to him and threw his cloak over him. Elisha left his oxen and ran after Elijah. 'Let me kiss my father and mother, then I will follow you,' he said. Elijah answered, 'Go, go back; for have I done anything to you?' Elisha turned away, took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He used the oxen's tackle for cooking the meat, which he gave the people to eat. He then rose and, following Elijah, became his servant.

 

Galatians 5: 1, 13-18

Christ set us free, so that we should remain free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be fastened again to the yoke of slavery.

After all, brothers, you were called to be free; do not use your freedom as an opening for self-indulgence, but be servants to one another in love, since the whole of the Law is summarised in the one commandment: You must love your neighbour as yourself. If you go snapping at one another and tearing one another to pieces, take care: you will be eaten up by one another. Instead, I tell you, be guided by the Spirit, and you will no longer yield to self-indulgence. The desires of self-indulgence are always in opposition to the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are in opposition to self-indulgence: they are opposites, one against the other; that is how you are prevented from doing the things that you want to. But when you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

 

Luke 9: 51-62

A Samaritan village is inhospitable

Now it happened that as the time drew near for him to be taken up, he resolutely turned his face towards Jerusalem and sent messengers ahead of him. These set out, and they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him, but the people would not receive him because he was making for Jerusalem. Seeing this, the disciples James and John said, ‘Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to burn them up?’ But he turned and rebuked them, and they went on to another village.

Hardships of the apostolic calling

As they travelled along they met a man on the road who said to him, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’ Jesus answered, ‘Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.’ 

    Another to whom he said, ‘Follow me,’ replied, ‘Let me go and bury my father first.’ But he answered, ‘Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.’ 

    Another said, ‘I will follow you, sir, but first let me go and say good–bye to my people at home.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’

    

13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 30, 2013

INTRODUCTION – (1 Kings 19:16b,19-21; Galatians 5:1, 13-18; Luke 9:51-62) Today’s gospel reading brings us to a critical point in St. Luke’s gospel. St. Luke tells us at this point in his gospel that Jesus turned his face toward Jerusalem. From this point on, Luke wrote that everything Jesus said or did took place while he was on his way to Jerusalem. This part of Luke’s gospel is referred to as the “journey narrative.” When Jesus decided to go to Jerusalem, he knew what was ahead for him; nonetheless, he started his journey with courage and determination. He warned those who would follow him that following him would require sacrifice, and there wasn’t time for second thoughts or to be indecisive.

    Our first reading was chosen to correspond with the idea of total commitment to one’s call. It tells about two Old Testament prophets, Elijah and Elisha, who lived about 850 years before Christ. Elijah was getting old and his life was coming to an end. At God’s command he chose Elisha to replace him. Elisha was busy farming and Elijah came up to him and placed his mantle on Elisha’s shoulders. This gesture symbolized God’s call – that Elisha should replace Elijah. It would be similar to my taking off my vestment and putting it over someone’s shoulders. The point would be obvious. The reading tells us Elijah had 12 yoke of oxen which would indicate that Elisha must have been quite a prosperous farmer. When he sacrificed his animals and burned his equipment, he was indicating his total commitment to his vocation. He broke completely with his former way of life and did not look back.

HOMILY – A man rushed into the jewelry store one morning and said he needed a pair of diamond earrings right away. The clerk showed him several pairs and immediately he picked out a pair. The clerk asked if he wanted them gift wrapped. The man said, “That would be great, but make it quick. I forgot today is the anniversary of my wife and me and right now she thinks I’m taking out the trash!” (Reader’s Digest - Laughter the Best Medicine, pg 68) Time was short for the man to get home with his wife’s present. Time was short for Jesus too. He knew well what was ahead for him, and he couldn’t even wait for a man to bury his father. I often wondered if the situationwas such that the man’s father was fairly healthy and it might have been many years before his father would die. Jesus didn’t have that much time.

    Our gospel today begins by telling us Jesus was determined to journey to Jerusalem. He knew what to expect when he got there. He predicted: “it is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.” (Lk. 13:33) We heard him in last week’s gospel telling his disciples that he would suffer greatly, be rejected and be killed and on the third day be raised. For the next four and a half months, every Sunday gospel will fit within St. Luke’s framework of what is called Jesus’ “journey narrative.” His journey would take him through Samaria, which as we hear in today’s gospel, was not very friendly toward the Jews. James and John wanted to punish the Samaritans who did not welcome them, but that was not Jesus’ way of doing things. The Samaritans would be the losers because they rejected Jesus. Who knows how many of their sick citizens might have been healed, or how many pearls of wisdom Jesus may have left with them if they had welcomed him. Next we have three sayings of Jesus that emphasize the attitudes that are required from those who would follow him, attitudes requiring sacrifice, sometimes sacrificing our comfort, pleasure and worldly security, sometimes having to put family obligations aside to honor our obligation to God, and always knowing we have to make time for our responsibility to obey and honor God.

    This week our nation celebrates its freedom. Unfortunately, in the minds of many people today, freedom means doing whatever you want. If everyone could do whatever they wanted, there would be anarchy and not freedom. St. Paul says today, “you were called for freedom.” He goes on to make sure we know freedom is not giving in to every urge or impulse we experience. Freedom is being free to do whatever you should. The freedom we fought for was the freedom to be able to live up to our responsibilities and obligations as we saw them and not as some king or queen saw them. God knows we need laws to guide us and he has given us a few. The framers of our Constitution who fought for our freedom knew we needed laws too. You may have heard the famous quote by James Madison (Federalist 51) who said: “if men were angels, no government would be necessary.” You may not have heard the rest of it where he said: “in framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.”

    Among the freedoms we enjoy is freedom of religion. Our Constitution say: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The Supreme Court has consistently held that the right to free exercise is not absolute. For example Mormons may not practice polygamy. A devotee of paganism cannot initiate human sacrifice. We live in a time where there are those who want to put more restrictions on the exercise of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. Just to name a few examples: a human fetus is not human enough to be guaranteed the right to life, a Catholic college like Notre Dame or Xavier is not religious enough to qualify as a religious organization in the Affordable Care Act. We are soon going to be taxed by being required to pay for birth control and for abortion inducing drugs, even though we are conscientiously opposed to them. The IRS will see to it. And what is one to make of the Supreme Court decision this week on marriage? There are many in our society who have no time for religion, who claim no religious affiliation and who consider religion useless, superstitious, antiquated, authoritarian and even harmful. As a people of faith and as a nation we believe that freedom is an unalienable right given by our Creator. As we have had to defend our freedom as a nation many times in order to preserve it, we have to defend our freedom as religious people and it is our right to do so. Amen.

 

                R. Dear Holy Spirit help us to do our duties that
                    are ours –
                    help us to walk as Jesus calls us to –
                    help us to grow in Christian perfection –
                    Lead us to eternal salvation –

                What is important is eternal salvation –
                    Sin opposes this –
                    The devil works in indifference
                        and he acts when a soul is weak –

                The Holy Spirit gives us His gifts when we
                    ask to avoid sin – to walk
                    in the Light –

                The Holy Spirit strengthens us –

                The Holy Spirit helps us to have right
                    reasoning and to enlighten our
                    mind –

                God gives us an increase in the
                    virtue of love when we ask –

                Mary prays with me when she appears –
                    She intercedes to God when we pray –

                We must respect God – If we disrespect
                    authority and our brothers –
                    we are probably disrespecting
                    God –

                What we do to others we do to God.

                Sin takes us away from God.

                God loves us so much – it is our
                    duty to respect and love Him
                    FIRST above all things –

                We are to seek holiness in our souls.

                We are to be deeply in love with God
                    and not wish to offend Him,
                    because of our love we
                    want to please Him –
                    We trust and love Him and live
                        to serve Him –

                Serving God is our delight –
                    not a burdensome thing.
                    We do it willingly! We
                    do it with love for our
                    beloved – the bridegroom
                    of the soul.

                We have strength to do God's
                    will because we have the
                    virtue of fortitude. We
                    are not selfish and caved in –

                We do His will if He asks us to
                    carry a boulder or a pebble
                    in love and with an eager
                    attitude –

                God is love and in Him is no darkness –

                Rebelling against God offenses God
                    and we are a mess when
                    we do, spiritually.

                Song: A Song from Jesus


 

                R. We are to use all things to serve
                    God as He desires –

                We must put God first –

                We love God above everything
                    and we love to be friends
                    with God –

                We need humility – humility
                    is truth. We have to
                    face the truth about our imperfections
                    and die to them to grow in greater
                    life in God.

                We pray for the increase of faith,
                    hope and love to have deep
                    fervor and love in our
                    serving God.

                Counsel comes from the Holy Spirit –
                    We walk in the Light –

                Not give into unruly impulses,
                    surprises, actions that
                    divide and oppose God –

                We pray for prudence –

                We live in the truth –

                We pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit:
                    Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
                        Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
                        and Fear of the Lord 

                We pray to walk in wisdom –
                    to have greater strength
                    serving God as He wants –

                We need to have right reasoning,
                    discern what actions God
                    is calling us to and do it
                    and not serve satan –
                    DISCIPLINE our
                    thoughts and actions to
                    please God.

                Sing: Come Holy Ghost

A Prayer for Grace and Holiness today
A prayer to work in love and holiness
 

John 16: 23

"If you ask the Father anything in my name,
    He will give it to you"

R. God wants our unity – we ask for this
    unity – that the Spirit of God fill
    us and help us to be holy –
    that we do not hold onto any of the deadly
    sins that block us from this unity –
    that the Holy Spirit can work in our souls,
    so we can be His instruments of love
    and peace and joy among our brothers.

We pray this heavenly Father in the name of
    Jesus who said ask in my name and
    it will be given to you.

    Let us experience the joy of unity and love
    on a supernatural level and know You
    our beloved God – more and more supernaturally.
    We want our hearts to be sanctified in
    our love and work so we are holy and
    pleasing to You God.

Come to us Lord and possess our soul.

We want to walk as God intends us
    to walk today in the plan of God,
    in the work He has called us to do today.

We know that we must cooperate with the grace
    You are giving us – now and today to
    bring unity and peace and love to this
    day as we serve to do the work – You are
    calling us in our vocation to do.

Dear Heavenly Father, hear our prayer,
    in the name of Jesus, we pray,
    we ask, heavenly Father for these
    graces necessary this day to
    bring peace, love and joy to
    our relationships and work – as You
    work in us.

    We seek perfection in our souls to be holy
    souls likened to You – in work
    and in play – to be holy in prayer –
    we invite You Holy Spirit to be
    the Guest of our soul.

We seek order in our lives, not disorder.

We beg for the virtues of faith, hope, love,
    prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice,
    and humility. We seek to be obedient
    to the will of God and live obedient to
    the will of God in love.

Come Holy Spirit Come into our hearts. Transform
    us from fear to fearlessness to serve
    You as You desire in our lives.

Help our actions to be for the glory and honor
    of God with the goal of these actions
    to one day be in heaven with Thee,
    our beloved God.

Heal our hearts and our bodies – Help
    us to have health of body now in
    this work you call us to do.

Instill in us a desire to want to only
    do the will of the heavenly Father
    and to walk in holiness and love.

We pray all these prayers heavenly Father,
    united to Jesus, in His name for
    grace and holiness today and always.

Help us to live by right reasoning in
    our lives – to have the truth
    in our every thought and to live
    in order as You operate in us
    in unity and love.

Come to me Lord and possess my soul.

We seek order in our lives – Your order
    to love in us, to help us to act as
    You desire, to have the thoughts
    that are in right reasoning and in
    Your order, Lord.

Give us the grace to use our faculties
    to love and serve You and do
    Your work.

Give us faith and right reasoning.

Help us to love and be just in our actions.

Help us to seek Your Divine Will and to
    perform those actions, which are actions
    pleasing to You in everything.

Come to us Lord and purify our consciences,
    our souls.

Help us to hope and love in Thee.

We seek heavenly vision – to see
    things through the eyes of
    the heavenly Father and to be
    perfected more and more in doing
    God's will in our lives.

We pray for the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

We pray for this purity in our souls –
    to live virtuously, to be perfected
    more and more and filled with the
    gifts of the Holy Spirit –
    Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
    Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
    and Fear of the Lord 

    and to have the fruits of the Holy Spirit –
    charity, joy, peace, patience,
    benignity (kindness), goodness,
    long-suffering, mildness,
    faith, modesty, continency,
    and chastity.

We do not want the enemies to
    invade our thoughts, our
    actions, our lives –

We pray to give up ugly bad habits of the
    deadly sins –
    pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth

We know on this journey we will
    experience sufferings and joys
    and we accept the struggles
    in life and ask You to help us,
    strengthen us in our lives to
    suffer and rejoice as You
    desire us to do in our lives.

We want to be a reflection of Your
    heavenly love – to be full of light –
    Your light in us. To operate in
    light and not darkness – IN You,
    our beloved God.

We want to follow in the footsteps
    of Jesus in giving love and
    light and unity to those
    we contact in our lives –

         

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

 

 

April 4, 2017

                R. Dear Holy Spirit please come to me the
                Guest of my soul. Please pour
                into me Your virtues and gifts.

                    Dear Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in me.
                Please fill me with the
                supernatural gifts I received at
                baptism – that they may grow
                ever greater to know and love supernaturally.

                Dear Holy Spirit,

                    Please mold in me more and
                more the image of Jesus in my
                heart and soul.

                                

           From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your gifts of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord. As we dwell in the Heart of Mary, Your spouse, fashion us more and more according to the Heart of Jesus.

                R. Help me to live my life praising
                and loving God in love and
                being as God wants me to be.
                Holy Spirit be the Guest of my soul.
                Come Holy Spirit fill me with the Spirit –
                Let the Spirit of God be in me.
 

John 16:12-15

I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
    to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
    of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
    the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.

 

                Sing: Come Holy Ghost

                Sing: Come Holy Spirit

                R. Let the Light of Christ live
                in my soul. Amen.

                    We see when the Holy Spirit lives
                in us there is cooperation with
                the Plan of God, Our heavenly Father.
                The Holy Spirit brings unity to the soul –
                order in our hearts – direction
                according to and with God,
                our heavenly Father who
                created us in the image and
                likeness of God.

             

Genesis 1: 26-27

God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’

God created man in the image of himself,
    in the image of God he created him,
    male and female he created them.

 

                R. The Holy Spirit opens our hearts and
                souls to God – so God can dwell
                in us more abundantly.

                    Come to me God and possess my
                soul –

                Sing: 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.

                    We are imperfect – the Holy Spirit
                comes to transform our souls
                more and more in the image and
                likeness of Jesus –

                    Come to me Lord and possess
                my soul –

                    God fills us more and more abundantly
                with His life –

                Sing Song: I Love You Jesus


 

                R. The Holy Spirit is the Spouse of the
                Virgin Mary – perfect handmaid
                of the Lord.

                    The Holy Spirit wants to transform
                us more and more into the image of Jesus.
                We were created for this –

                    Oh God, we are so grateful for
                the sacrament of baptism and
                the other sacraments. We are
                so grateful for the Eucharist
                whereby, you feed the life you
                gave to us.

                    God gives us a sharing in
                His life in baptism and feeds
                us with the Body and Blood
                of Jesus in the Eucharist.

                Come to me Lord and possess my soul –               

Sing: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

               

1 Corinthians 3: 16

    Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you?

   

                R. We consecrate ourselves to God.
                We give ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
 

   

From the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual

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.

 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
 and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."     end of april 3-4,2017

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical 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. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical 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. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical 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. $15
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical 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. $15

"This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Associates are called to join prayer Chapters and help us circulate the newsletter centered on spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and helping to renew the Church through greater holiness. Please form a Prayer Chapter & order a Prayer Manual.
