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.

Resurrection
1.
Mary: I am Mary your Mother and I am appearing on this earth at this time to draw many hearts to the Heart of My Son. The promise of Fatima will happen very soon, many hearts will be turned to His burning love, I ask you to open wide your hearts and let His love penetrate your soul, He stands at the door of your heart and waits for closer and closer union with you. You build walls around your heart My little children, open your heart in this rosary, put aside all of the distractions in your life and focus on the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelling within you in your graced baptized soul. A soul in the state of grace is such a beautiful soul, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in the graced, baptized soul. You My little children are given such great gifts from God, take a few moments in quiet and feel the presence of God within your graced, baptized soul.2.
Mary: I am Mary your Mother, My Son gave His life for you My dear little children. God gives you a sharing in His life in baptism. Take these moments as special moments in your life this day, this day of August 13th, 1995. God is outpouring grace to you now. Focus on the love of Our Two Hearts as you pray the Rosary, a weapon that will be used against Satan.3.
Mary: Let your hearts be soft and supple, remove all of the walls around your heart that keep you from deep and intimate union with My Son. My Son Jesus came to this earth, He gave His flesh and His Blood for love of you, a price that He paid. You receive a sharing in His life in baptism. My sweet little children, I love you with the tenderest motherly love, I am guarding you, I am protecting you more than any earthly mother, I am caring for you and watching you. I want each and every soul on this earth to know My motherly love for them. The more you join to Our Two Hearts, the more abundantly We will unite to you. We can operate to this world that is suffering and in pain. I am Mary your Mother, let go now and let us work in your heart for the life that you are given is a life that is too mighty to be contained. Life is not life if it is not rooted in God.4.
R. See as vividly as possible, Jesus Christ as He hung on the cross and see His Mother under the cross, visualize this as clearly as you can, His withered body covered with wounds and blood and crowned with thorns. Jesus gave the last beat of His Heart, He gave His last breath for love of us that we would be filled more and more with His life. Meditate on this picture of Jesus as He hung on the cross.
5.
R. See beside this picture, the picture of Jesus as He rose on the third day, glistening in white and victorious. Think of this, Jesus died and was locked in the tomb for three days and on the third day He rose victorious. Think of the mystery in that, see His glorified wounds in His hands, see Him glistening — Jesus Christ rises from the dead victorious!6.
R. Jesus came to this earth to give us life that we can have life to the full in heaven. The Kingdom of God is within, it is in our hearts when we are abundantly filled by God. We unite more and more to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as we live through the pure and tender heart of His Mother, God can operate more abundantly in us. Let us focus on the souls God can reach as we live more deeply in Him. Are not our hearts burning within us that God dwells in us, that the Almighty God cares so much for us that He gave us a sharing in His Divine Life in baptism. If we remain in the state of grace He lives within us in such a special way. Focus more and more on the presence of the Almighty God within our graced baptized soul.Mary:
My dear little children I am Mary your mother. It is in realizing the presence of the Almighty God within you that you will withstand the hard and dark days that are coming, if the wind blows and the sun ceases to shine the Almighty God will reign in your hearts and you will remain in peace no matter what is happening around you.7.
Mary: Come to Me, My little children, come into my motherly heart. My heart is filled with love for you. I loved the Father in deepest love. I loved Jesus and I lived with Jesus, and I watched Jesus, I watched my child at His birth and all through His life, I watched Him all through the Passion, I saw Him suffer and die, I saw my Son in His resurrected body and ascending into heaven. Come to my heart, share in my heart the love that I have for my Son Jesus. Love Jesus with my heart, love the Holy Spirit, my Spouse, more and more. I am Mary your mother, it is in coming to my heart, and loving God through my heart that the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph on this earth as more and more souls dwell in my Immaculate Heart. I love my little children of this world with such tender love, I love each one of My children. As you love through my heart you will love your brothers with this tender love. God calls you to love God and love one another. Come to my heart, live and dwell in my heart. As I love, you will love more and more. My dear little children, I am Mary, your mother, your mother to lead you on your way.8.
R. Two disciples on the way to Emmaus were accompanied by Jesus and Jesus accounted for them all the scriptures that pertained to Him from the time of Moses and the early prophets. The disciples did not know that it was Jesus, and when they got to Emmaus and He broke the bread they recognized Him. Later they said, “were not our hearts burning within us as He accounted the Scriptures.” The Scriptures are here this day, Jesus is alive, He wants to live in our hearts. It is in these meditations that Jesus and Mary tell us the story of Their lives. As He becomes more one with us in our hearts, every word in the Scriptures lives in our hearts. When we hear the word “Father”, we love the Father with deepest love and we love from the heart of Mary. Thus, we will have this love, and the love of God will become alive in us.9.
R. Jesus wants a love affair with us. He wants hearts that are burning on fire for love of Him, He loves us with a Heart that is burning and on fire. He gave His flesh and His blood. God came to this earth a little baby, born in the town of Bethlehem. He suffered and died and rose and ascended into heaven that we would have life and that we could be saved and be with Him forever in heaven. This is the love that Jesus has. See Him as vividly as you can: hanging on the cross, covered with blood and wounds. This is the love that He has for us. How is the love that we return to Him?10.
R. Jesus came to this earth and He wants us to share more abundantly in His life. As we are in our hearts, so we will be in this world. Let our hearts be filled with the love of the Two Hearts, let us dwell in the heart of Mary and dwell in the Heart of Jesus, for Mary dwells most deeply in the Heart of her Son.
Ascension
1.
R. Sweetness, gentleness, love — Jesus, the Sacred Heart, loves us with the tenderest love. Jesus longs and thirsts for the souls to come and to be with Him. Jesus waits endless hours in the tabernacle for His precious souls to come. Jesus is no less present in the Eucharist than the day Jesus walked this earth, Jesus, the Son of God, remains with us and waits for our precious love. Jesus wants a love affair with us. We are Jesus’ beloved souls.2.
R. I hear the cries as Jesus calls out, “I am alive, I am alive, I am alive.” Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist this day. When we are baptized the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us if we remain in the state of grace. Jesus remains truly present in the tabernacle, the same as the day He walked the earth in His Divinity and humanity, waiting and longing for us to come and to spend time telling Him of our love.3.
Jesus: So few souls come to Me with hearts that are filled with love. I wait and long for you My beloved ones to come and to spend time with Me. Can you not watch one hour with Me? I am Jesus Christ the Son of God, I remain with you in deepest love. I give Myself to you in the Holy Eucharist, I wait for you to come and to share with Me all the thoughts in your heart.4.
R. Jesus took them out to the town of Bethany and He raised His arms and ascended into heaven and a cloud took Him out of sight and the Apostles were filled with awe and fear as they saw their beloved Jesus go into the sky. Think of the glory of these mysteries, that Jesus ascended into heaven. Think of the resurrection, death has no power over Jesus and on the third day He rose victorious. God has all the power. God gives to us a free will. We have a free will. God wants us to freely love Him. God loves us so much.Song:
A Song from Jesus5.
R. Jesus asks us to come and to dwell in His Heart, to surrender and to give our all to Him. Jesus tells us to live in the Father’s Will.6.
R. The seeds of time move exceedingly slow, we are here such a short while. Jesus ascended into heaven. Jesus went to make ready a place for us for our true home is in heaven. We can dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We can come to Their Hearts for our love.John 6: 48
-51I am the bread of life.
Your fathers ate manna in the desert
and they are dead;
but this is the bread
which comes down from heaven
so that a person may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread
which has come down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread
will live for ever;
and the bread that I shall give
is my flesh, for the life of the world.’
R.
Life is not life if it is not rooted in God. Jesus came to bring us life. Fr. Carter said dwelling in Their Hearts is our little heaven on earth.7.
R. It is in living in Their Hearts and meditating on these mysteries of Their lives, that Their lives become more alive to us and that we see the great gifts we are given in our Church, in the sacraments. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. Our priests are a gift. We are given such great gifts from the Almighty God. Are not our hearts burning within us? The words of scripture come alive in our hearts more and more. Our hearts burn like a two-edged sword!!8.
R. Jesus ascended into heaven but Jesus left behind the Apostles and the Virgin Mary to carry out His work. Think of this: twelve men to spread the Gospel message.9.
R. In baptism, we receive a sharing in His life. We are commissioned to go out and spread the good news. We live His life, death and resurrection in our lives each day as we live. We die to our ways not like Jesus and we live virtuously more and more like Jesus. We stay rooted in Him. We want greater and greater life in Him. Jesus died on the cross and He rose on the 3rd day. We accept the crosses we must bear and love God and serve Him, we prepare for heaven.10.
R. It is in Baptism that we are commissioned to go out and to spread the Gospel message. Jesus ascended into heaven
Descent of the Holy Spirit
1.
Acts 1: 5, 9John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’
As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.
2.
Jesus: Let Me dwell in your heart, feel the vibrancy of Our life within you. My dear ones, you are given a sharing in My Divine Life. I love you with the deepest burning love, I am longing and waiting to be with you. I give to you a sharing in My life in baptism. I love you. Meditate on the mysteries of the rosary and Our lives will live more and more in your lives. You will go out to those in this world and you will touch many. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in the hearts of men. You are My faithful ones that I have called here to go into this world and to spread My love into the world that is filled with darkness and I give to you My light and you will light up the darkest night. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. My light will shine in you to the world.3.
Acts 2: 1-3When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.
R.
The Holy Spirit descended upon them and the Apostles were transformed from fear to fearlessness to go out into the world and to carry out the Gospel message.4.
R. These were Jesus’ Apostles: Peter, had denied Jesus. The Apostles had watched Jesus ascend into heaven. They knew Jesus, they walked with Him, They talked to Jesus, they locked themselves in a room - they were afraid. The Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were filled with fearlessness. They went out to preach the Gospel and thousands were converted. They went from town to town preaching the messages of His love. We are living in this world today. Many have forgotten God and He has chosen us, His faithful ones and He is drawing us ever closer and closer to His Heart. Jesus wants us to carry the messages of His love to all those we touch.Dear Holy Spirit come to us and fill our hearts with the fearlessness of the Apostles to carry out the message of God’s love to this world. Are not our hearts burning within us, that the Almighty God is with us, Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within our graced, baptized soul. We have the greatest message in this world to deliver. Dear Holy Spirit fill us with the fire of God’s love to carry out this message to all those that we touch.
Sing:
Come Holy Spirit5.
Jesus: Satan is very strong and he aims to trip you up. My dear ones you must pray to the Holy Spirit everyday to fill your hearts to have the fearlessness of the Apostles to go out. Many souls will be lost and will be condemned to the fires of hell. You are My apostles that I am sending into this world to spread the messages of My love. I come to you with a Heart burning and filled with the deepest love, and I share with you My Divine Life in baptism. I give you My love. Will you answer this call this day? Will you turn your hearts more and more into hearts that are filled with My Divine Love? Will you fight the battle in this world today with the arms I am giving to you? Your arms are your hearts filled with My love, My grace in you.6.
R. And they were transformed from fear to fearlessness, there appeared over their heads parted tongues of fire. Let our tongues be filled with fire and let out hearts burn with the love of God. Not a lip service love, but let us see Him. as He hung on the cross covered with blood and He breathed His last breath for love of us. Jesus calls out and I hear Him call and He is calling you to come for a closer union with His Heart. Jesus is outpouring abundant graces to each one of us called here especially by Him to hear this message of His love. Oh, if you heard Him call as I did, “I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in the hearts of men”, calling out with a deep cry to you, His faithful ones to come and to join our hearts with His Heart and to proceed fearlessly into this world and carry the message of His love, for this world is suffering and in pain. As I see the Blessed Mother, she says that so many of her little children will be lost to the fires of hell. I see her over and over again and look into her beautiful face and hear her say: “My little children will be lost to the fires of hell. Do you hear my call, will you go out? Will you be strong soldiers in this world? Will you spread the love of my Son?”Jesus loved us so much that He truly hung on that cross with the nails in His hands and in His feet covered with blood and crowned with thorns. This is not a myth. Jesus loves. I hear Him, I hear Him, I hear Him lament from the tabernacle that after Communion the people run from the church. He says: I give Myself to them, I give Myself to them and they leave. I am the Almighty God and I give Myself to you in the Eucharist.
Jesus gave Himself on the cross, spread His arms and gave His all. Today Jesus gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. Jesus comes to us, He is no less present then He was in the womb of the Virgin Mary when she carried Him. Think of seeing Jesus and Mary, seeing Mary pregnant and knowing Jesus was within her. We receive Him and we receive the presence of the Almighty God in His Divinity and humanity, out of greatest love. Jesus wants such oneness with us. Jesus calls out and says how tenderly He loves each one of us.
7. Sing:
Are not our hearts burning within us.8. Song:
A Song from Jesus9.
R. As we dwell in the heart of our Beloved Mother we will dwell more deeply in the Heart of our Beloved Savior. Let us go to her heart. Let us ask her to help us to love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit more and more like Mary loved Them, through her pure and tender heart.10.
R. And as we dwell in the Heart of the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit transforms us more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus.
Assumption of Mary
1.
Jesus: I give to you these rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that you will live more and more the mysteries in your lives. As you participate in the Mass and Sacraments in the Church, you will join more fully in Our lives. Feel the vibrancy of Our life within you. Live the mysteries in your lives. Celebrate the mysteries in the Church year. My dear ones, I am alive and I am with you, let Our lives, live in your life. Bring the message of My love to all. Let My message of love fill your hearts. I dwell in your hearts. I will operate from you in the world.2.
R. The angel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God. And she said “yes”, always in compliance to the Father’s Will, always doing the Will of the Father, for she knew that the Father had a plan for her and as a beloved daughter she wanted to please her loving Father. Mary was taken into heaven, and she was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. We meditate on the rosary, we see the peace in Jesus and Mary’s life. It is in living according to the Father’s Will that we will have peace and joy in our lives. God has a plan for each one of us. We were uniquely created by God. We are so important to the plan of salvation. When we live in His will, according to this plan, we have peace and joy. We cannot be willful, we must live in compliance with His will, if we want to have peace and joy in our hearts. Even in the deepest suffering we can have peace and joy in our hearts if we are rooted deeply in the love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.3.
Jesus: I came to show you the way. I am the way, the truth and the life. My dear ones, let your hearts be soft and supple. Remove the walls around your heart, remove the debris in your heart, come to Me with a heart that is humble and pure.4.
Jesus: You will not have peace in your hearts if your hearts are filled with hatred or anger, competition, jealousy, envy, toward your brother. You must exchange the bitterness in your heart or any resentment, for a heart filled with My love. Then you will know the true meaning of life, for as I live in you, you will know joy in your hearts.5.
R. It is in dwelling in the heart of Mary that we will more and more have purity in our actions, for Mary’s Heart is Immaculate and pure.6.
R. As we join in this oneness in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary each one of us living in Their Hearts, we will be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and there will be peace across the land, for if we are all living according to the Father’s plan, in love, there will be harmony.7.
Jesus: My dear ones, you were created uniquely special by My Father. He loves you, you are so precious to Him, each one of you is given such talents to carry out His plan. You must live according to the Father’s will or you will not have joy in your lives.From Blue Book I
Use Your Talents
October 3, 1993
Chicago Marian Conference 11:30 a.m.
Jesus:
I am your Savior, Son of the Living God. I come to you that you might have life, not as the world gives you life, but My life which is life eternal. I carved you from My special carving and made you little less than an angel. I love you and cherish all the moments when you, My special child, come to sit with Me. I wait here and I hope you will choose to come, but I never force you. Your will is totally free and I give it to you because of My love and the will of the Father. I inform you in numerous ways. You do not have to guess and wonder. Come be with Me in this silence and all you need to know will be told to you. Your life is unfolding as a beautiful rose. Each petal falls and you plant My odors about as I so desire. I make your life full and sure as you trust in Me. No need for worrying, My little flower. My ways give you freedom if you listen to your heart. I am a personal God and you know Me as giving you fullness and life. You know there is some magnetism to Me and the way you crave to be part of Me. This is the work of the one, true God Who created you with a thirst that can only be quenched by Me. All roads that lead to Me give you fullness, worth, peace and joy, not as the world thinks, but as you yourself know true peace and joy. When I really touch you, you do not remain the same. I shed My Blood for you that you will have the life only I can give. What friend in this world would die for you? You, My child, were worth My dying for. I came that you will have life eternal and the gift I give is My Precious Blood for your sins. Come to Me in trouble and when you are bowed down. Come to Me in joy. Come to Me every day that you live and I will give you all you need. Seek to know Me more and more. Knowledge of Me, being with Me, are the only way to perfect peace. They lead to eternal life.I have a divine plan for you. I created you with special gifts and talents to be used to do My work. They are not for your own self
-promotion. You, My child, are nothing except as I created you. Why try to promote yourself? It is none of your own doing. I gave you the talents you are using. You had nothing to do with it. These talents were given to you to do My work. To use these talents to make yourself feel better than your brother is indeed a sin. You must realize they are loaned to you to work for Me. As you give someone a car, or loan them a place to stay, I loan you your talents to use to work for Me. If you do not work for Me and use them to make yourself better than your brother, you are offending Me. Likewise, if I give you talents and you do not use them because you think you are not as good as your brother, you are not being thankful to Me for My gifts to you. You are not using My gifts and that offends Me greatly. Each person was created by Me to do My work. Each person has all he needs to do My work. To be envious of others is fruitless. They have their job. You have yours. You are not supposed to do their work. That is why you were not given their talents.Do your own work. Don’t be envious of your brothers. Don’t hide your talents. You did not earn them. I gave you your talents. You must sing because I will it. Others must do as I will them to do. It displeases Me to give you a gift and watch you hide it and make light of it. I give the gift. You must use all your gifts. They were given to you to do My work. Your brother has his gifts. Be grateful for your brother and he should be for you. You are all chosen by Me for a special mission. You know what to do. It feels right. I plant little seeds in your heart and all you do that is for you in the end feels right. You are not to be doing your brother’s work or he yours. Talk to Me that you might know just what your work is and do it.
Do not hide your talents. Praise your God Who gave you these talents. Embrace and use them. This is not pride. This is My plan. I love you. I give to each of you, My precious children, as a mother who buys special Christmas gifts for each child. To buy gifts all the same for all your children is not to respect their specialness, their individuality.
Oh, I love you, little ones, so much. Please come to Me. I am so good and I wait to be with you and share My love with you. Come now. This is your top priority. All else will work when you come to Me first. I love you. You are My chosen children. Come and be filled and I make your loads light and I fill you with the Spirit of Salvation.
All roads that lead to Me are the right roads. Praise Me for I am good and I love you, little dear ones.
end of October 3, 1993
8.
R. We look at Jesus as He hung on the cross, we look at Him all through the Passion and we see the peace, for He knew the Father’s love and He did always the Father’s will. To His death on the cross, He lived in the Father’s will.9.
R. Mary is our Mother. We go to her Immaculate Heart. The Holy Spirit forms us in her heart, our spiritual womb - more and more in the image of Jesus. Jesus was formed in Mary’s womb by the Holy Spirit.10.
Jesus: The days go by swiftly, and where are you going My little ones in this life? Be about your union with Me, this is what will make your souls be at peace. I love you, I love you, I love you. I long for deeper and deeper union with you. Come to My Heart and I will bathe you in My precious love. I am Jesus your beloved Savior, I am longing and waiting for you.
Coronation of Mary
1.
R. We are born and we are given a sharing in His Life in baptism. God feeds us with the Bread of Life. We eat the body of Jesus and we drink His blood. We love the Word of God. We are saturated more and more with His grace. We have greater union with God. Let us, each day, be more one in God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As you become more saturated with His life, outpoured abundantly in the Eucharist, and when we sit in front of the tabernacle, we are given such graces and we share more and more in His Divine Life.Prayer for Union with Jesus
- God’s Blue Book, January 17, 1994Come 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.
2.
R. We are saturated with this life. We understand more deeply insight into the Divine Mysteries. Every word in the Scriptures, every word in the Sacrifice of the Mass means more to us because we are deeply penetrated with this life in us. Each day it means more and more as we grow deeper and deeper in His life.3.
R. We are on a journey here, wanting our true home in heaven. We dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We become more and more saturated in His life. Dwelling in Their Hearts is our little heaven on earth. Life is not life if it is not rooted in Him.4.
R. In all of our actions each day, pray to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit through the intercession of Mary our Mother, the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.5.
R. Unite with all the Masses going on around the world. We offer everything we do all day, this way, to God. Offer everything you do all day to God!! This is our prayer of love for the souls of the world. The souls Jesus died for - our life is lived as an offering to God - loving God, ourselves and others. Our life is a prayer of love. We pray, too, for the souls in purgatory.
Excerpt from
Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.e) Relationship with Members of the Church
There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church’s existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.
The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.
The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in God’s own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.
This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14
And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15 The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16
The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.
Not only can we be aided by the saints’ intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.17

R. Even if we are sleeping, we offer a mighty prayer when we pray to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world because it is God’s will we sleep for our health, to do His work!!7.
R. The Kingdom of God is within our hearts. As we dwell more and more in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as we clean out the debris in our hearts, do God’s will in love. We become closer to God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced baptized soul. We are not alone, God is with us. Jesus waits by the door of our heart, longing and thirsting for closer union with us. Our union for all eternity depends on this union here below.8.
Jesus: In My house there are many mansions. Come, My dear ones, live in My Heart and let Me bathe you in My precious love.9. Song:
I Love You Jesus — Oh Burning Heart, Oh love divine, how sweet you are to me, I see the Host I know Your here to love and care for me.10.
1 Corinthians 2: 9“What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;”
Song:
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, what God has ready for those who love Him.Message from Mary:
My dear ones, I am Mary your mother. Satan is pressing down on this earth. You are going through many trials in your lives this day. The trials will become harder and darker. You are my children of light that I am sending into this world, my army to spread the love of my Son throughout this world. Come and dwell in my heart and I will teach you the ways of love. I am Mary your mother, I love you with the tenderest motherly love. Many of my little children will be condemned to the fires of hell for their serious sins. Turn away from anything that is not according to the Father’s Plan. Obey Jesus As you rid yourself of any debris in your heart, you will unite in your hearts to Us for the days that are coming will be dark and hard and your refuge will be found in Our Hearts. You know this union interiorly in your heart!
My dear ones you must rid yourself of anything that is dark and fill yourself with the light of my Son. I love you, I am your mother, This is a rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. It is through these rosaries that I will touch the hearts of this world. Meditate on the rosary with these meditations and We will speak to you in your hearts. You will understand more and more deeply, insight into the Divine Mysteries. I am Mary your Mother, I love you, my sweet little children. Pray as you have never prayed before, for the sufferings that will come will be hard and your prayers are so powerful.
Pray to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Holy Spirit. My dear ones I am with you and I am protecting you with my mantle of love. Children of light, go into this world and march and spread the love of God as fearless soldiers. Proceed ahead steadfastly, discipline your thoughts, do not give into satan to divide and confuse you. You must come to the tabernacle
- you will be strengthened there as the love of my Son grows deeper and deeper in your hearts. Each day spend time alone in prayer, it is there that We will speak to you.I am Mary your Mother, I love you.

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 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 — 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 — 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 |
Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. — Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10 |

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD. — Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "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 |
