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.

  Back of Blue Book 10

                R. Love never dies.

                We do not know the pure love of God
                    or the real meaning of promise
                    of the Divine God.

                We must pray for faith to comprehend,
                    to know, to be filled with
                    supernatural faith to believe,
                    where we have doubt we
                    need to have greater faith
                    in what God wants to
                    reveal to us of the mystery of His
                    love.

                Love is giving for the good of the
                    other.

                In baptism we receive supernatural
                    love.

                We receive the capacity to grow
                    in God's loving activity –

                But it is a capacity – love
                    comes from God.

                Faith, hope and love are theological
                    virtues. Which means they
                    come from God.

                In baptism we receive a sharing
                    of His life in us, but we
                    seek to grow in ever greater
                    faith, hope and love
                    in Him.

                God is love. He is the source –
                    We seek, we want relationship –
                    Jesus gives us Himself in the
                    Eucharist. We grow more deeply
                    in our life in Him.
                    We become more one in Him –
                    Union in intimacy with Him.

                We see the Last Supper – 12 men –
                    the Apostles around the table
                    with Jesus, but Judas was
                    divided, Peter and James
                    very dear to Jesus –

                Yet Peter denied Jesus he was
                    sorry, but he denied
                    Him and who stood under
                    the cross –

                Where were the others who loved
                    Jesus; where was James?
                    Where are we sometimes in
                    our fear –

                    Are we strong in our love
                        for God despite tremendous
                        suffering like John,
                        Mary Magdalene who
                        suffered so to the end?
   

                R. Can we see the work of Jesus in
                    our lives, despite our
                    failures, shortcomings –
                    how He kept to His promise.

                I see Jesus at work in His words
                    to me 28 years ago in
                    the Pre-Blue Book –
                    His promise, His love –
                    He is working behind the
                    scenes in my life despite my
                    shortcomings and failures –
                    I see how He took me in the
                    Blue Books to Himself in the
                    Eucharist and Promises He
                    made that can still come true
                    for all of us.

                    I only see in part, my faith
                    may be waning – Fr. Joe,
                    Fr. Carter, Fr. Mike such gifts
                    in my journey – the letters He
                    gave, the prayers to help us
                    grow in the interior life
                    in Him –

                Promises – like a man who loves
                    a woman and promises a
                    life of love.

                Jesus is the perfect love –
                    Jesus gives us Himself –
                    the Son of God in the
                    Eucharist – daily if we can go –
                    Always united if we go to Him
                    spiritually, seeking Him,
                    wanting His relationship in
                    unity in our lives –
                    Putting Jesus first –
                    Knowing the Father's love for us –

                The Holy Spirit filling our hearts
                     with love and truth –
  

                R. A man decided to climb a mountain
                    and he couldn't see too good –
                    the nooks, the rocks, the
                    ravines, before him the
                    mountain, behind him the
                    open air, so scary at times,
                    little rocks, ledges, the
                    elements, some birds of prey,
                    animals, bugs, the need
                    to survive –

                I think of Moses – he climbed the
                    mountain and His face shined –

                Jesus went up Mt. Tabor –
                    I'm sure it was a climb –

                A climb to the top –

                    But at the top one can see
                on all sides – no more the
                mountain to climb –
                The view is breath-taking –

                We were meant for more than this
                    here –

                We were meant to be satisfied
                    only by God in heaven –
                    filled full of grace –
                    full of life –

                So on the climb we may feel the
                    conflicts, the fears, we are
                    running out of air we
                    feel as we go higher –
                    are our bodies strong enough to
                    go to the top –

                R. I think of a message Jesus gave
                    me a couple of days ago –

                Rita, I never give you more
                    than you can handle –

                He said it twice in that
                    message –

                I need to go back, especially to
                    the Pre-Blue Books and see
                    what He promised 28 years ago
                    and now despite my failures
                    He had the plan, the gifts, I
                    kept climbing the mountain
                    and it was steep sometimes,
                    rocky, scary and I cried on
                    a pity-pot a while, but
                    consistently He keeps His
                    promises. He loves me like
                    this song.

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                R. He gave me virtues of fortitude
                    and justice and prudence
                    to keep climbing when
                    the night came and it looked
                    scary.

                Nights are dark and many of the
                    messages Blue Book 1 and 2, He would
                    wake me and tell me things –
                    like He said – when my
                    mind wasn't full of stuff!

                Promises – remember the convent
                    He made –
                    remember the promises to
                    Noah after the flood

  Genesis 9: 11-17

And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate the earth.’ 

    ‘And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things.’ 

    ‘That’, God told Noah, ‘is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.’

  

                R. Then He gave us – Our Lady of
                    Clearwater in Rainbow Color –
 

                R. Baptism is clear - water –
                    such a gift –
                    A sharing in Divine life –

                Our knowing and loving capacity is
                    elevated –

                Baptism takes away original sin
                    even though our human nature
                    is wounded.

                In baptism we receive the supernatural
                    virtues of faith, hope and love.

                We were created to know, love and
                    serve God.

                The way up the mountain is to follow
                    God's Plan –
                    The Father said at the top of
                        Mt. Tabor
                    "This is My beloved Son in whom I am
                        well pleased, listen to Him."

                Jesus led Peter, James and John up
                    Mt. Tabor.

                There they saw Jesus transfigured
                    and heard the voice of the
                    heavenly Father –

                Follow Jesus up the mountain –
                Follow the Father's plan –
                Operate as children under God –
                    humble, loving, obedient
                    to God.

                Discern the spirits –
                Live in the Holy Spirit –
                God is a God of miracles –

                He is working in our lives,
                    in His promises –
                    Be faithful, Be humble.

                God gives us the Church,
                    the Mass, the sacraments,
                    each other. 
 

R. God the Father has the map –

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
