Consecration Prayer for Peace
I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.
I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able, to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
Prayer for Grace for our Country
Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. 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.

Mary: I am Our Lady of Snows. I come to cover the earth with a soft white blanket of my love.
I come to bring peace to the earth. I tell you to let go of the anxiety in your heart and experience my peace and His love.
I am your heavenly Mother. I come to hold you and caress you and take you to my Immaculate Heart.

R. The Mass is so beautiful –
The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present –Jesus is chief priest and victim.
We unite with Jesus and offer ourselves.
Jesus is – Prophet – He is the greatest.
– Priest – He is the greatest.
– King – He is the greatest.We share in the prophetic message –
how we teach His message,
by how we live –We die to our will and we are one with
Jesus, living the Father's will –We put to death the false self!!
We give ourselves, and conform our
will to God's will –The Father accepts the sacrifice of Jesus –
we are one with Jesus.Surrender, Surrender, Surrender.
Once while Fr. Carter was saying
Mass, I could experience at the
Consecration of the Mass & Communion
Christ as a baby, Christ's life, His death,
resurrection, ascension and receiving Him
in Communion as I did then–The Mystery of Christ in the Mass –
The Pascal Mystery of Death / Resurrection –
We die to our will and want the
will of the Father – in the Mass –We give ourselves in total surrender
to God –We put on Christ. We become one – we
eat His Body and drink His Blood.
Galatians 6: 12-14
It is those who want to cut a figure by human standards who force circumcision on you, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. Even though they are circumcised they still do not keep the Law themselves; they want you to be circumcised only so that they can boast of your outward appearance. But as for me, it is out of the question that I should boast at all, except of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
R. We surrender ourselves, out of love, to God.
God is the Creator –
We are God's creature –
We are to give ourselves completely
to God –We give God ADORATION –
We give THANKS –
We PETITION God for our needs
and propitiation for sin.Christ's sacrifice on Calvary shows the
interior disposition of Christ to
empty Himself to the Father's
will. Christ gave Himself
to the Father's will His entire life.We as members of the Mystical Body
are one with Christ in the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Through the Eucharistic Sacrifice Christ the Lord desired to set before us in a very special way this remarkable union whereby we are united one with another and with our divine Head, a union that no word of praise can ever sufficiently express. For in this sacrifice the sacred ministers act not only as the representative of our Saviour, but as the representative of the whole Mystical Body and of each one of the faithful. Again, in this act of sacrifice, the faithful of Christ, united by the common bond of devotion and prayer, offer to the eternal Father through the hands of the priest, whose prayer alone has made it present on the altar, the Immaculate Lamb, the most acceptable victim of praise and propitiation for the Churchs universal need. Moreover, just as the divine Redeemer, while dying on the Cross, offered Himself to the eternal Father as Head of the whole human race, so now, in this clean oblation He not only offers Himself as Head of the Church to His heavenly Father but in Himself His mystical members as well. He embraces them all, yes, even the weaker and more ailing members, with the deepest love of His Heart. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS. XXXV, 232-233) 7Note: 7. Pope Pius XII, Encyclical Letter, Mystici Corporis, AAS, XXXV, pp. 232-233.
R. We are social creatures. God intends us to
live out the Mass in our lives in
helping others, to get to heaven,
through our lives lived in Him,
united to the Mass.
Christ is our Savior.
We live in Him –
We unite to the Masses going on around
the world.
Morning Offering
My dear Father, I offer you this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit.
I unite with our Mother, Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the Sacred Heart.
I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart. Amen.
R. We respond in our lives to God's love,
by loving and giving our lives
helping to build the Kingdom of God –
helping others to get to heaven.
We help in the work of redemption!
In Baptism we become incorporated
into Christ and His Church.
Confirmation perfects this
incorporation.

1. C. Davis, Sacraments of Initiation
Fr. Carter says:
"Through these two Sacraments the image
of Christ is indelibly imprinted
upon the soul."
We are to grow in the Christ-life!
Babies grow and develop –
We receive Baptism we are to grow
in the Christ-life.
Romans 6: 3-5
You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life. If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his;
"Although Baptism primarily incorporates
us into Christ's Death and Resurrection,
it also unites us with Christ in all
His mysteries. This is so because all
Christ's mysteries are essentially one
mystery."
2. L. Bouyer, Liturgical Piety
"Christ's sacrifices, and therefore His priesthood,
extend to His whole life, because He offered
His sacrifices from the very first moment.
All the acts of His life were sacrificial,
because everything He did was offered
by Him as matter of sacrifice. But
these acts had sacrificial value only
in reference to the sacrifice of His life
itself."
3. Vagaggint, Theological Dimensions of the Liturgy.
R. We need the Morning Offering.
We live out the Mass in our working and
living.
We help in the work of redemption.
Romans 8: 19-23
...for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed. It was not for its own purposes that creation had frustration imposed on it, but for the purposes of him who imposed it--with the intention that the whole creation itself might be freed from its slavery to corruption and brought into the same glorious freedom as the children of God. We are well aware that the whole creation, until this time, has been groaning in labour pains. And not only that: we too, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we are groaning inside ourselves, waiting with eagerness for our bodies to be set free.
R. We live the Mysteries of Christ' Life in our
lives, dying and rising in Him.
We are to die to our will and live the
heavenly Father's will more perfectly
in love.
We live the mystery of death / resurrection
in our lives, but also the
other mysteries of Christ's life:
His Hidden life, His public life,
etc.
We live the Christ-life in our lives.
We want to stay in the state of grace
always!
We are to grow in the image and likeness
of God –
We are to grow in living more and
more like Jesus.
We are to put on Christ. Have the
right interior disposition –
the mind of Christ.
Fr. Carter stresses how Christ lived
the
hidden life, the ordinary life – we too
are to live as God calls us. Christ
lived as an ordinary man.
Christ lived the quiet life, Rahner
says, for 30 years.
Christ lived a quiet life and a public
life. We are to live our vocation
as God calls us, when He calls us,
how He calls us!
Christ gave Himself to others.
Christ was the perfect witness.
Christ witnessed to the Father,
He showed Absolute Truth
and Love.
The witness of a Christian should
be to truth!
We as Christians witness to Christ –
the world learns from us.
We want to have a greater share in
divine life, through grace –
We live our lives conforming more
and more to the Father's will –
We live the Pascal Mystery of
Death / Resurrection –
We are many members in Christ's
Mystical Body –
How we live out our life in Christ
can touch the whole world!
We help in the work of redemption.
We become more Christ-like.
We are being redeemed ourselves and
helping in the work of redemption.
The Mass is the center of the Christian
Life.
Vatican II
... the liturgy is the summit toward
which the activity of the Church is
directed, at the same time it is the
fount from which all power flows.

Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. — Cycle B 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 |

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 |
