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.

Isaiah
55: 6-9
Seek out
Yahweh
while he is still to be
found,
call to him while he is still
near.
Let the wicked abandon his way
and the evil one his thoughts.
Let him turn back to Yahweh
who will take pity on him,
to our God, for he is rich in
forgiveness;
for my thoughts are not your
thoughts
and your ways are not my ways,
declares Yahweh.
For the heavens are as high
above earth
as my ways are above your ways,
my thoughts above your
thoughts.
Psalm 145:
2-3, 8-9, 17-18
Day after day I
shall bless you,
I shall praise your name for
ever and ever.
Great is Yahweh
and worthy of all praise,
his greatness beyond all
reckoning.
Yahweh
is
tenderness
and
pity,
slow
to
anger,
full
of
faithful
love.
Yahweh
is
generous
to all,
his tenderness embraces all his
creatures.
Upright in all
that he does,
Yahweh acts only in faithful
love.
He
is close to all who call upon
him,
all who call on him from the
heart.
Philippians 1:20-24, 27
all in accordance
with my most confident hope and
trust that I shall never have to
admit defeat, but with complete
fearlessness I shall go on, so
that now, as always, Christ will
be glorified in my body, whether
by my life or my death. Life to me, of course, is
Christ, but then death would be
a positive gain. On the other
hand again, if to be alive in
the body gives me an opportunity
for fruitful work, I do not know
which I should choose. I am caught in this
dilemma: I want to be gone and
to be with Christ, and this is
by far the stronger desire— and yet for your sake to
stay alive in this body is a
more urgent need.
But you must
always behave in a way that is
worthy of the gospel of Christ,
so that whether I come to you
and see for myself or whether I
only hear all about you from a
distance, I shall find that you
are standing firm and united in
spirit, battling, as a team with
a single aim, for the faith of
the gospel,
Matthew
20: 1-16
‘Now the kingdom of Heaven is
like a landowner going out at
daybreak to hire workers for his
vineyard. He made an agreement
with the workers for one
denarius a day and sent them to
his vineyard. Going out at about
the third hour he saw others
standing idle in the market
place and said to them, "You go
to my vineyard too and I will
give you a fair wage." So they
went. At about the sixth hour
and again at about the ninth
hour, he went out and did the
same. Then at about the eleventh
hour he went out and found more
men standing around, and he said
to them, "Why have you been
standing here idle all day?"
"Because no one has hired us,"
they answered. He said to them,
"You go into my vineyard too."
In the evening, the owner of the
vineyard said to his bailiff,
"Call the workers and pay them
their wages, starting with the
last arrivals and ending with
the first." So those who were
hired at about the eleventh hour
came forward and received one
denarius each. When the first
came, they expected to get more,
but they too received one
denarius each. They took it, but
grumbled at the landowner
saying, "The men who came last
have done only one hour, and you
have treated them the same as
us, though we have done a heavy
day’s work in all the heat." He
answered one of them and said,
"My friend, I am not being
unjust to you; did we not agree
on one denarius? Take your
earnings and go. I choose to pay
the lastcomer as much as I pay
you. Have I no right to do what
I like with my own? Why should
you be envious because I am
generous?" Thus the last will be
first, and the first, last.’

INTRODUCTION – (Isaiah 25, 6-9; Mt. 20, 1-16) When God’s
people were in exile in Babylon, they were as depressed as anyone could
possibly be. They had lost everything. They were sure they had even lost
God's love because of their sinfulness. Today we hear God’s prophet
assure them it is never too late to return to the Lord. For God says:
“my thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my ways.” Even
though they knew they were not worthy of God’s mercy, the prophet
assures them if they turn back to God, they will have God’s mercy. Why
is God so generous and forgiving? It is his nature to be that way.
HOMILY – In today’s parable, we certainly see that God’s
thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are our ways, God’s ways. In today’s
parable, Jesus tells us this is what the kingdom of heaven is like and
it doesn’t sound as if the Lord and Master of the kingdom plays fair.
The landowner must have been very wealthy considering all the people he
had to hire to harvest his vineyard. In a normal situation, the
landowner would have sent a servant to go look for people to hire and
also the servant would pay the workers at the end of the day. But here
it is the landowner, the Lord himself, who directs how things are to be
in the kingdom. As was the custom of the day, a worker was hired early
in the morning and paid at the end of the day (a 12- hour work day). A
day’s wage for an unskilled worker was often called by the Roman name,
denarius. It was just barely enough to support a family for one day. The
parable is shocking for us to hear because we tend to look at the story
solely from a monetary perspective. We figure if one hour is worth X
amount of money, then twelve hours should earn twelve times as much. But
the landowner was looking at things from two perspectives: justice and
fairness on the one hand and mercy and generosity on the other. He was
fair and just to those who worked all day (since they were paid what had
been agreed upon) while he chose to be generous to those who would need
enough money to feed their family that day or the next.
I could spend a long time trying to interpret the
meaning of this parable – and various saints and scholars have done so
and have given various interpretations. I think, basically, the
interpretation comes down to two things: justice and mercy. The owner of
the vineyard practiced both virtues. In justice he paid what he promised
and in mercy he paid enough for each worker to be able to support his
family for another day.
Sometimes we feel like God makes us work harder than
others to survive in this life and maybe he does. I think we all are
beneficiaries of God’s mercy. If we just spend our days comparing
ourselves with others and feeling as if God was not fair to us when he
gave out his blessings to all of us, we’re just going to make ourselves
miserable. Try to be grateful for the blessings and gifts you do have.
Archbishop Pilarczyk, when he is asked “how are you?”
answers “better than I deserve.” I think that’s true of every person.
The only group of human beings who get no chance to experience God’s
loving kindness in this world are babies who have been aborted. They
never had a chance! And yet, I believe, they will somehow experience
God’s mercy in the next life. I cannot conclude without pointing out
that there is a suggestion of the last judgment in today’s parable. The
fact that people came to work at different times throughout the day
reminds us that there are many opportunities to enter the kingdom, but
such opportunities do not go on forever. Summer days are long, winter
days are short, but every day lasts only so long and so does each
person’s life. Jesus always reminds us that the time is limited for us
to respond to his invitation to be part of the kingdom. It was what
Jesus announced when he first began to preach: “Repent, for the kingdom
of heaven has drawn near.” (Mt. 4,17) Amen.

Consecrate Your Churches, Home, and
Workplace to Our Hearts
Jesus: I
want you to consecrate the human race to Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want
to be enthroned in all homes, churches, and businesses.
June is the month of the
Sacred Heart. I want to be king and center of all hearts. I will keep My
promises given to St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque. I promise all this from
My most Sacred Heart. Consecrate your chapter to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus. Consecrate the church or room in which you hold your meeting.
Today is First Friday. I want
you to circulate the message I gave to you on consecrating your homes to
My Sacred Heart. Make booklets available for people to be able to
consecrate their homes and businesses easily. Use the message I gave to
you when you consecrated your home.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus
will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Consecrate all
homes and businesses to Our Two Hearts. Tell all to have displayed and
honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart
of Mary. May and June are the months of Mary and the Sacred Heart of
Jesus. Tell all to consecrate their homes to Our Two Hearts. I am the
Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the 5th of May, 1995, First Friday,
I request that you spend the next two months encouraging all to do this
consecration.
Gather your friends and say
the prayers I have instructed you to say. Sing "To Jesus Heart All
Burning" and "Immaculate Mary." May these Two Hearts of love give all
members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.
R. Jesus
said He desires to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus:
Circulate the Blue Book messages. They promote this devotion. How My
Heart is filled with happiness by the souls who come to the tabernacle
and sit with Me. I am Jesus Christ, I wait and long and thirst for My
precious souls to come. The souls of men have turned cold. I want souls
to come to daily communion and be with Me in front of the tabernacle.
Men's hearts have turned
cold. They do not know what love really means. I want hearts that are
filled with fire for love of God. Men's hearts have turned to stone.
You are to promote devotion
to My most Sacred Heart. I want hearts that burn with love for My Heart.
It is through Me that you will know the Father's love. I am the Way, I
am the Truth, I am the Life.
Offer a holy hour for the
indifference, ingratitude, and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the
Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.
R. He
promises great graces to those who give reparation to His Sacred Heart
and who tell others about offering reparation to Him.

From the Lectionary
Pentecost Sequence
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!
Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine!
You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;
In our Labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
And our inmost being fill!
Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill!
Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away;
Bend the stubborn
heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sev'nfold gift descend;
Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.
