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 Election and 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.

We are One in Him
R. Such closeness I feel to know Jesus loved us and loves us this much. In meditating on His passion, I realize His great love for me.
Jesus: My little one, I am your precious One. I am in you and you are in Me. The Father sent Me. This is the union I call you to, such oneness, such intimate union in Our Hearts.
My Mother is forever placing you in the innermost recesses of My Heart. The Holy Spirit is the fire of the love of God. Such union fused together securely by the fire of the Spirit!
Meditate on union with Me. Come close to Me through Mary's sinless heart. Be united to God - all three Persons. Focus on the indwelling of God within your very breast. God is alive within your heart. Such fullness in your chest to realize this presence within you!
This is what protects you from the world. The more you realize the immenseness of God's love within your breast, your union with God, the less anything on the outside can penetrate your spirit. You are burning with My love. Let the love of God radiate from your being, be forever fixed on this intimate union you share in God.
I never abandon you. I lead you to the courts of heaven where we will forever be united in such love.
R. The love of God within, the love of God outside us, the love of God in our brothers, the love of God poured out to us in the Eucharist!
Jesus: I give you exactly what you need. It is in acceptance of all I send you, you grow in your relationship with Me.
Do not look to your brothers and wish you have what they have. You have what you need. I pour My love out to you in the exact proportions needed. There is so much love in those who surround you. Do not in your willfulness wish for that which you are not receiving.
See all the gifts and love I send you this very day and praise your heavenly Father and thank Him for these gifts.
You, My child, are so abundantly blessed. Praise and thank God, the giver of all, for the great gifts given to you. Do not be willful and wish for that which you do not have. Know that He gives you according to your needs and be grateful for the gifts you are given.
Praise God and Thank Him. You are so favored, My precious child. You are guarded by My very own hands.
Look to the heavens and count the stars and thank Him who gives you such good things.
R. He suffered for me. To think He suffered for me! He is God. He suffered for each of us. In focusing on how He suffered for me and would do it this very day, I am in awe of Him. He walked the walk to Calvary. He was beaten. He was bloodied. He did this because He loved me. He was crucified so I can get to heaven and be with God and Mary and the Saints forever. He did this for ME!
Do I ask, Lord, do You love me? I cry and complain and do not meditate on how He gave His all for me and would do it today. He is this personal with each of us.
Mary is my mother. She mothers me as she mothered her Son. She was given to me under the cross. God loves us so much. Mary loves us so much. I accept this on faith. I am so blessed to have this love and Mary as my mother.
Mary is your mother too, which unites us so closely.
Intimacy can only be achieved in dealing with Christ as you would with a lover. He loves me. God loves me. I achieve union within, but He loves you so we achieve union In Him and we personally unite with Him. We unite with each other because we are one in Him. He can unite with us individually and unite with all of us as one. This is a mystery, but I know it in my heart. I am so united to you because we are one in Him!
The more I understand the love between God and me, the more I understand His love for you. I will love you better if I love Him. I realize better how much He loves you. How can I not love you when He loves you so much. We are one in Him! This is a mystery and not easily explained.
My love for you is deepened by understanding my own unique relationship with Him, because as He loves me, He loves you and we are brothers. We are sons and daughters of the Father. If He loves you, I must love you because I am one with Him. You are one with Him and we are one in Him together.
The more I realize your oneness with God, the more I must treat you with love because He loves you so much. I don't want to ever offend Him or you, you are His love.
I realize this, then I feel so wretched for I see how far short I am of loving this way.
Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1. Mark 16: 1-11
When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices with which to go and anoint him. And very early in the morning on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen.
They had been saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?’ But when they looked they saw that the stone—which was very big—had already been rolled back. On entering the tomb they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right–hand side, and they were struck with amazement. But he said to them, ‘There is no need to be so amazed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he has risen, he is not here. See, here is the place where they laid him. But you must go and tell his disciples and Peter, "He is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him, just as he told you." ’ And the women came out and ran away from the tomb because they were frightened out of their wits; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Having risen in the morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom he had cast out seven devils. She then went to those who had been his companions, and who were mourning and in tears, and told them. But they did not believe her when they heard her say that he was alive and that she had seen him.2. We die to the ways, not
like Jesus to rise in Him.
3. Jesus showed us He died
on the cross, and He rose.
4. We die, and then we go
to new life.
5. In Mass we receive
communion. We eat Jesus'
Body and drink Jesus' Blood.
6. We are transformed more
and more in Jesus.
7. The Bread of Life is the
Word and the Eucharist.
8. In Baptism we receive a
sharing in His life.
9. Jesus feeds us with the
Word, and the Eucharist at
Mass.
10. We eat Jesus' Body and
drink Jesus' Blood.
The Ascension
1. Luke 24:50-53
Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.
2. Jesus ascended into heaven.
3. His body went to heaven.
4. Someday our bodies will
be united with our souls and
glorified.
5. We die here below to rise
to new life.
6. Jesus comes to us in the
Eucharist: Body, Blood, Soul
and Divinity.
7. We are a work in progress
here below.
8. We are tainted, Baptism
takes away original sin.
9. We have a wounded
human nature. We need to
grow in holiness.
10. God is our Father, He
created us in the image and
likeness of Jesus, He
created us to go home to
heaven someday. We must
learn to love and live,
according to God's will.
Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
1. Acts 2: 1-4When 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. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
2. From Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
"The Blood of Christ is a theme that is truly central in the primitive Church, as Scripture shows it to us. This death sanctifies mankind, reconciles, establishes peace, redeems, constitutes the Church, and therefore unites man in communion with God and his fellow men. We are redeemed in sanguine, through the blood of Christ – this we find on almost every page of Scripture. It is impossible therefore to spiritualize Christ's sacrifice, to make it merely an internal act of love. There was indeed the act of love, but it was embodied in the sacrifice of blood."14
14. Cf. Edward Schillebeeckx, Christ the Sacrament of the Encounter with God (New York: Sheed & Ward, 1963), pp. 21-22.
3. The Holy Spirit is a gentle
breath moving in us.
The devil is destruction and
chaos, tearing apart,
violence, breaking down,
emptiness.
4. The Holy Spirit came as a
wind, appearing
as parted tongues over
their heads, transforming
themselves from fear to
fearlessness.
Love!!
5. Unity, strength, love.
6. The Holy Spirit comes
infusing into our intellect
His gifts.
7. The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of truth and love.
8. The Holy Spirit wants to
possess our soul, we
surrender our will to God’s
will.
9. Jesus is the way, the
truth and the life.
10. The Father has the Plan.
The Assumption
1. Mary is taken body and
soul to heaven.
2. Mary is our spiritual
Mother.
3. Mary is Mother of the
Church.
4. Mary loves us more than
any earthly mother.
5. Mary is daughter of the
Father.
6. Mary is Mother of Jesus.
7. Mary is Spouse of the
Holy Spirit.8. Sing: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
9. From Focusing on the Word
HOMILY – It is recorded nowhere in Scripture when, where or how Mary died. Nor do the Scriptures tell us about her assumption. It has been a part, however, of the very ancient tradition of the Church that Mary was assumed bodily into heavenly glory when her life here on earth was ended. One early document referring to this event comes from the Bishop of Jerusalem in 451, St. Juvenal. He was asked by the emperor of Constantinople to bring the body of Mary to Constantinople. He replied to the emperor that Mary had died in the presence of all the apostles. But her tomb, when opened upon the request of St. Thomas, was found empty. Thus the apostles concluded that her body was taken up to heaven as Jesus was.
10. From Focusing on the Word
Today’s feast honors Mary, for God himself has honored her. In her openness to God and in her willingness to always do whatever God wanted, God rewarded her in a unique way. But today’s feast also is a source of hope for us. Christ came, as he says in St. John’s gospel, that we might have the fullness of life. Our faith tells us our bodies too will share in that fullness. So Mary is allowed to enjoy ahead of time what God’s plan is for all of us who are faithful in following him and serving him.
The Coronation
1. Revelation 12:1-2
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
2. From the Litany of Mary

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 |
