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.

1 John 4: 17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

R. If God is telling you to do something, but you don’t do it because of fear, how can you make up all the times you ignored God's will because of fear?

God has a plan, doing God's will is that plan. What happens if your fear is more important than God?

What if your anger is more important than God's will?

What happens if you want to control and rule and you ignore God's will?

Doing God's will is obeying the Father's Plan for us for the building of God's Kingdom.

Our goal is to prepare to go to heaven.

In the Our Father it says, "...Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."

We are here to use doing God's will, as our plan for life, our unique plan, nobody else can do.

God has a plan.
Doing God's plan is what prepares us for eternal life.

Letting go, letting God rule, not being willful and disobedient to God.
Relationship - seeking God's will, obeying God's will.

 

Novena to the Infant of Prague
(to be prayed hourly if possible)

          O Jesus, who said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted. 

          O Jesus, who said, "All that you ask of the Father in My Name He will grant you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your Name that my prayer be granted. 

          O Jesus, who said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
 

R. Faith is believing in God,
Putting God first,
Trusting God,
not making excuses for disobeying God's will, then telling ourselves it’s okay.

It’s not okay. Obedience!
Doing God's will in obedience.

Who is on our throne?

Who is first in our life?
Do we lie?
Do we ask the Holy Spirit to possess our soul?

Faith is believing without seeing.
Faith is following the will of God.
If you accept defeat, you will probably get defeat.

 

Being on the Fence
 

God opens up the doors, but we must
seek God's plan, put God first, not straddle the fence.

To go to heaven, we need to prepare our hearts. How can we put ourselves before God and call that preparing for eternal life?

A team player can bring in a winning team, an individual playing the game for himself cannot expect to win for the team.

God cares about us. We need to prepare our hearts. We honor God in everything. We have attitudes and actions that please God!!

How is your heart?
How is your attitude?

Is God always first?

Do we honor God in everything?
Are we good because we don’t ever want to offend God?

Who is on our throne?

When you love - really love, you’ll do whatever it takes for the beloved.

Keep trying.
You don’t quit.
Does it matter, if God asks for a pebble or a boulder?

Jesus kept going.

He died for us.

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

Song: God's Love

 

Song: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart

 

R. The goal is God!!!

You don’t give into yourself, you do what Jesus asks for.

You prepare for heaven.

The virtue of hope is:
Hope for eternal life for yourself and others.

You're not slothful, it’s right to follow authority, it’s right to respect authority.
God expects that of you.
 

Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find! It is in giving we receive!!

God is all powerful.

God is Divine.

Believe in God!!

Do the best you can, in everything you do!!!

Do it for God, you love Him so much, you don’t want to offend Him, you love Him, you don’t ever quit.

Satan never quits.

We serve God and nothing is impossible with God.

Look at Elizabeth, thought barren.

"Nothing is impossible with God."

Trust God.
Praise God.

Honor God.

Serve God.

Love God.

Put God first!!!

Have Faith!!!!

Mark 7: 31-37

Returning from the territory of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon towards the Lake of Galilee, right through the Decapolis territory. And they brought him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they asked him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside to be by themselves, away from the crowd, put his fingers into the man's ears and touched his tongue with spittle. Then looking up to heaven he sighed; and he said to him, 'Ephphatha,' that is, 'Be opened.' And his ears were opened, and at once the impediment of his tongue was loosened and he spoke clearly. And Jesus ordered them to tell no one about it, but the more he insisted, the more widely they proclaimed it. Their admiration was unbounded, and they said, 'Everything he does is good, he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.'
  

R. Blind spots!

We have spots we don’t want to hear.

Things we don’t want to see.

Blind spots!

We can be in denial.

Or we can accept the reality of our lives.
 

Novena to the Infant of Prague
(to be prayed hourly if possible)

          O Jesus, who said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted. 

          O Jesus, who said, "All that you ask of the Father in My Name He will grant you," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Your Father in Your Name that my prayer be granted. 

          O Jesus, who said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My word shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Your most holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.

  

R. Dear God please help us to live the life of conversion.

Help us to not be prideful and open our hearts, and ears and eyes to live the unique plan of the Heavenly Father for our lives.
Help us to be obedient to the heavenly Father’s will and live in love and truth. Increase our faith, God. Holy Spirit penetrate our hearts.
Help us to live according to what the Heavenly Father wants of us in our lives.

Help all of our actions to put God first in our lives.
Increase in us greater faith, hope and love, Heavenly Father.
   

May 16, 1998 - Prayer to the Father

My Father,

        With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.

        It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.

        My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.

        And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.

        I beg You Father for mercy.
        I beg You Father for assistance.
        I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.

        Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.

        Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men.

        Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne.

        We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
        We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia
  

R. God lifts us up!!!

Open your hearts.
Open your heart, your ears, your eyes. Spread your arms open in love.

Attitude.
Living in the image of Jesus.
Being one in Him.

 

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993 

Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.   end of excerpt

Mary’s Mist Rosary

Before the Tabernacle

R. On September 5, 1995, I did a rosary before the Sorrowful Mother statue at a Shepherds of Christ meeting there (at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center). I was on retreat and felt immensely connected to God. My daughter video taped it. On the Feast of the Sorrowful Mother, I was told to watch the video. A mist went over Mary. An audio tape is available concerning this information and a video tape of the mist. The audio tape is October 1, 1995, Love Songs and Messages. The video is A Mist Around Mary.

I sang, I Love You Jesus. I talked about the Trinity. The mist began in the lower right corner and went over Mary and ended there with I Love You Jesus.

Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: It is in your surrender, that you are led closer and closer to My Heart, filled with burning love for you. My beloved ones, stop at this moment and focus entirely on My burning love for you. Put aside all of the distractions in your mind. Discipline your thoughts and come into My Heart. Through My pierced Heart you will enter deeper and deeper into the great abyss of My burning love. Release yourselves now, quiet your minds and focus entirely on your relationship and your union with Me.

2. Song: Oh burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You’re here to love and care for me.

3. R. Be with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, kneel beside Him, see the rocks, see His brown hair and His beautiful face. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Be there and feel His presence and as you feel His presence, realize the presence of the Almighty God within your hearts: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. At this moment you are surrounded by Their divine love and your heart is burning within you as you kneel beside the Almighty God.

4. R. We do not realize how close He truly is to us, that He wants to be one with us, through Him, with Him, and in Him, that He calls us to this union, to this oneness with Him. As we meditate on the mysteries of this rosary, let us unite in this oneness with the Almighty God Who cries from every tabernacle in this world - cries out deep cries of His burning love and they fall on deaf ears - Who comes to us and gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist and is ignored and forgotten and treated with such indifference.

5. R. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who waits in all the tabernacles of the world in the Sacrament of greatest love, waiting a prisoner for His beloved souls to come and to be with Him. As present as the day that He knelt in the garden, in His Divinity and His Humanity, He waits in the tabernacle and we kneel before Him in front of the tabernacle, as we imagine that we knelt next to Him in the garden. This is the love that the Almighty God has for us. He remains with us this day and is forgotten and ignored. He calls out to His beloved souls, “Come to Me, you are blind and you are deaf, you do not know the great gifts that you are given. I am waiting and waiting for you to come. Come to Me, My beloved souls, I long and thirst to unite in deepest union with you.”

    We search this barren desert for things to fill our starved souls, when nothing on the face of the earth will fill the starved soul but the love of God and He is waiting and longing and thirsting for us to come and to be with Him.

    Oh, beloved Jesus, truly present in the tabernacle, give us the grace to realize this great gift we are given, to cherish every single moment that we are in the presence of the Almighty God, to never take this for granted, to thank You endlessly for the great gift You have given to us, the gift of Yourself, that You are truly present, the gift that You give us in the Holy Eucharist, and Your Heart was in such anguish in the garden, your Heart of deepest love for all the souls that would treat You with such indifference and negligence.

    Your Heart of burning love is so often ignored and forgotten. My precious One, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for all that you suffered in the garden for Your beloved souls who have forgotten You.

6. Song: Oh burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You’re here to love and care for me.

7. R. What do I say my beloved Jesus as I realize more and more Your presence with me. My heart is filled with such joy, with such emotion, that I cry to realize that God is here and with us this day. What do I say when I hear the constant lamenting from the Tabernacle of the Son of God calling out to tell all how He is there, how His Heart is burning and waiting. What do I say? I say to anyone who has ears to hear, to hear that Jesus is truly present this day and He is calling out. He is asking you to spend time with Him, as He gives to us such graces and we unite in deeper and deeper union with Him. He remains with us in greatest love. Who are we that the Son of God comes to us in the Eucharist and that He remains and is treated with this indifference and neglect?

8. R. I experience the emotion over and over and over again and it tears my heart apart to feel the emotion, that Jesus allows me to experience. If you have ears to hear, hear that Jesus is consumed with burning love and calling out, calling out to us, to go out to this world that is hurting and in pain and to spread His love in the highways and the by-ways. This is the mighty medicine for the sick world. It is the love of God. Nothing, nothing on the face of the earth, heals the starved soul but the love of God and we unite in such oneness with Him. Jesus dwells in our graced baptized soul. Jesus ministers to this sick world that is hurting and in pain. And His sweat became as great drops of blood upon the ground, for His Heart swells with deepest love of the souls, that the Son of God came to this earth, suffered and died that we would have life. And He is ignored and forgotten. How many souls are going to hell this day for their willfulness. How He suffered in the Garden, despite all of His suffering. Think of how many souls that would be lost for their grave sins. We are His apostles, that He is sending into this world as Satan prowls about this earth, searching for souls to devour. God is giving to us great graces to be fearless warriors to go into the world and to spread the Gospel message. The Apostles went from town to town and thousands were converted in this town and that town. Jesus is calling to us and giving us great graces. Let’s pray fervently to the Holy Spirit to have the fearlessness of the Apostles to carry out this message of His love, to comply to the Will of the Father always with deepest love, to follow His plan, and to do His Will at all costs.

9. Jesus: I give to you twenty-four hours a day. Can you not watch with Me, one hour? This one hour of such precious time, when I fill you with My abundant life, and you go into the world refueled and ready for the battle at hand. For souls are at stake and many will lose their souls to the fires of hell. My children, you do not know the urgency of this message. Come to My Eucharistic Heart!

10. R. And His anguish was so great, that His sweat became great as drops of blood upon the ground.

(Song: I Come to You With Greatest Love.....to be sung after each decade)

 

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar

1. R. I want to do the Will of the Father, Whatever it is that He wants me to do. I beg you to give me the grace to help me to live according to Your Will in all of my actions. And my primary concern being to love God with my whole heart, my whole soul and my whole being that every action that I perform be an action of love, to please my heavenly Father. As a little child trying to please their Father, at all cost. Let my every action be an action whereby I am living to please my Heavenly Father with love, totally dependent upon Him and realizing that He will provide for all of our needs.

2. R. Holy Spirit we call out to you to fill us with the fire of God’s love, to move within us that our every action is motivated by the fire of His love, that it propels us into action. As Satan drains us down let the Holy Spirit fill us with such vibrancy and love, that we are fearless and march into this world as His apostles spreading His love. For we have the greatest message that there is to deliver. We are His beloved ones that He loves. He comes to us and He makes a home in our hearts. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live within us in such a special way when we are baptized and in the state of grace. Who are we that God dwells in us, in our graced baptized souls: Let the light of Christ shine from our eyes and radiate from our being as we march into this world. He urges me to tell this world that He is alive. He is alive and He lives this day.

3. R. Jesus was tied and bound at the pillar. The Son of God bound at the Pillar. At any moment He could have released Himself. But in compliance to the Father’s Will, He withstood all of the suffering. They beat Him with branches that tore His flesh, and caused Him to bleed. His once unmarred body was now covered with deep and bleeding wounds. This is the love that Jesus has for each one of us, burning love, that they tore His flesh, and He would have gladly suffered more. But His greatest agonies were not the agonies that we see on the outside of His body, but the agonies that He suffered within His most Sacred Heart, burning for love of His precious ones.

4. R. This is the fire of His love. I saw the Heart with the open furnace bright and glowing and He places His hands on the side of His chest and we see His Heart. He shows us His Heart and He says to us, “This is what I suffered for the love of you! Meditate deeply on My passion, My dear ones. Meditate and you will know more and more My immense love.”

5. Song: O Burning Heart, O Love Divine

6. R. For where do we have to go? For once we know His love a little, we want and crave more and more, always deeper and deeper. So as I love this day, as I am closer and closer to Him today; tomorrow it is deeper and deeper, as I stay rooted in His life, and I grow more and more in my life with Him. O burning heart of love divine, let me unite deeper and deeper as I gaze at the wounds on Your body, Your wounded body, some of the wounds shout out! Some of them deeper, all the way to the wounds in Your hands and in Your feet that penetrated Your hands and feet all the way through. My dear Jesus, there is not an end to Your love. Each day I penetrate this love deeper and deeper. Each word in the Scripture, each word of the Mass becomes more and more alive. To hear the word, Father, every day means so much more as I know my beloved Father more and more. We are on a journey to eternity to unite forever and ever and ever to the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each day and every moment growing deeper and deeper in this union with God. What is life if it is not rooted in Him? For He is the source of life. Life comes from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the Heart of Mary, into our heart. We are His instruments in the world. To focus only on our relationship with one another is to miss the source. It must be rooted in our love of God. Let’s go to the source and unite in deepest love. And all will follow. For to love God is to love one another. I cannot be one with Him and not share love with you. For if I am one in Him and you are one in Him, we are one with each other. Let us pray for this oneness with our Divine Lord. Who are we that He unites with us in such intimacy? We are His beloved ones that He loves. He came to this earth a helpless baby, and gave Himself for us, that we would have life and have it to the full. This rosary is the story of life. Let us meditate on His life and the life of His beloved Mother. And let this life grow more and more in us, as we are saturated more and more with His abundant grace. We cry out as little children. Impart to us your Divine life. For we are hungry and thirsty for Your life abundantly filling us and for Your love.

7. Song: Come Holy Spirit and fill Our Hearts

R. Come Holy Spirit and fill our hearts with the fire of Your love. Let us feel the vibrancy of the love of the Almighty God within us. For He came, that we would have life and have it to the full.

8. R. Stand beside Jesus as He is bound at the Pillar and see them as they hit Him on the head and the blood runs from His mouth and down His face. Do you see clearly the face of the Almighty God covered with blood? For to gaze upon His face, that has been beaten and scourged, is to know more deeply His burning love for us. Let us keep our eyes always on the face of our beloved God, scourged and covered with blood, for in gazing at this face, how can we feel neglected and forgotten in our hearts?

9. R. He walked away, our beloved Jesus covered with blood and the earth was marked by His bloody footprints.

10. Hail Mary

 

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. R. The padded life! How we want our life so padded, yet Jesus came to this earth born in the town of Bethlehem. In such poverty, not in riches, but He came in poverty. He came to show us the way. He says, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life!” And we look and we look to gratify ourselves and to fill ourselves with more and more, and the starved soul cries out for the love of God. The Almighty God is here and waiting in the Tabernacles of the world and He is neglected and ignored. What if, at any moment, we could not go to the Tabernacle? Think of this! If we could not go and receive Jesus. For the great gifts we are given, we can go to so many Masses each day. We can go to the Tabernacle and be with Jesus, the Son of God. We do not realize the great gifts that we are given. What if this gift was taken from us? This is the Almighty God. He is truly present. No less present than the day that He sat and they crowned Him with thorns. He no longer walks the earth. He remains in the Tabernacle and He gives Himself to us in such deep intimacy in the Holy Eucharist. Think of how precious this gift is and how we treat it with such ingratitude! Think of this being taken away from us that we could not go to Mass and go to Communion. Think if we could not go to the Tabernacle. It is through the Eucharist that He outpours His grace in such abundance and we are saturated with His life as we unite more and more to Him.

2. R. This is the story of sharing in His life. We are given a sharing in His Divine life and Baptism and we are on our way to eternity. Becoming more and more saturated in this life each day as we grow in our relationship with Him. Pour out Your Divine Life in us. Give us the grace to know and to love You more. And to be deeper and deeper united to You. Saturate us with Your grace. Let our souls shine and fill us with Your grace. We are thirsty, we are hungry and we are longing for Your love.

3. R. See His face, the same face that was badly scourged, but now, they have added to His most scared head a sharp crown of piercing thorns that they have pounded into His head. And as they pounded the thorns into His head, the blood rushed forth, and ran down His face into His eyes and into His ears, and His vision clouded with the blood that ran into His eyes. His hands tied, He could not wipe the blood from His beloved face. Meditate on His face. Keep this vision of His face before your eyes! Look to see this face and to feel the love deep within.

4. Jesus: The blood shed in My Church will continue day by day, as long as the messages of My love are not transmitted in the members, the blood shed will continue. I am calling out to you to come closer and closer to My Heart. For as you unite in such oneness in Me, I operate through you to this hurting world, through Him, with Him, and in Him.

R. Feel Him as He becomes one in us. The Almighty God, joins in such union with us. God who has all the power, gives to us His love.

5. Song: I Come to You With Greatest Love

6. Jesus: Through Him, with Him, and in Him. Take down the walls, all My beloved ones, around your heart. Let go and surrender! This is the love, that I have for you. Why I came to this earth. I gave My flesh and My blood. This day I give Myself, you come to My Heart and trust Me. Let go of all hate and anger, let go of all resentment in your heart. For it is only in a heart that is pure that you will unite in deepest union with Me. Trade all bitterness in your hearts for this burning love. You must let go, you must trust Me, always trust Me. Discipline yourself. Do not give in to the tauntings of Satan, to distract you and to keep you bound to such incidental matters. The Almighty God longs and is waiting and thirsting to be so close to you.

7. R. Feel the crown of thorns pressing down on your head. As they pressed on the head of Jesus, do you feel the pain, feel your hands tied, feel the wounds as they burn on your body, feel the worst headache that you have ever had. Think of the pain that Our Lord had from the crown of thorns, that He wore on His head. If we had one thorn sticking in our head and we couldn’t even touch it, think of this! That He had a crown of thorns on His head, think of His face that hurt, think of the awful pain pressing in our minds, that our body was being torn and whipped. Satan is constantly trying to distract us to get focused away from the Almighty God and Jesus cries out, “I love you! I love you! I love you! Minute by minute, second by second, I provide for all of your needs, don’t give in to satan. He will press on your minds. You must focus on My love for you. These are times I am asking you to tell Me of your love. Let go of the distractions in your mind, discipline yourself, times are coming My dear ones, when you must focus, focus on Me and My love.”

8. Jesus: Those in Medjugorje lost their homes, they did not have water. They did not have light. They suffered as they watched the land burning deep with these eyes. You do not know what suffering is! This land was burned. I am asking you to sacrifice and to come to My Heart and I will fill you with My abundant love. You must pray constantly for your brothers, offer up your days to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Holy Spirit. Offer all of your actions to the Father, and give yourself with such zeal. Always comply to the Father’s Will and offer sacrifices for your brothers, for the souls in Purgatory. Offer your every action as a prayer to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass going on around the world in the Holy Spirit through the powerful intercession of the Blessed Mother.

9. Jesus: I call out to you to accept the sufferings that you are given this day and to offer up this sacrifice. You are given great graces for accepting all that you are given. Do not fight your crosses. Accept your crosses. I love you! I love you! I love you! In that cross you will know deeper life in Me.

10. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

 

Jesus Carries His Cross to Calvary

1. Jesus: You are going into battle My beloved ones. A battle with Satan. You must proceed steadfastly ahead. Do not give in to the distractions. He aims to trip you up My dear ones. You must focus always on My love. He wants souls for hell.

2. Mary: My dear little children, I am Mary your Mother. I am calling out to you to pray; pray as you have never prayed before. For many souls this day are dying and are going to the fires of hell. I speak to you to deliver this message. This is a message of my love, my children. Many will lose their souls. I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I watched Him, as He suffered for 3 agonizing hours. The One, Who as a Child, I held within my arms, I now saw Him hanging on the cross covered with Blood, wounded and breathing His last breath.

My little children, this day despite His suffering many will lose their souls to the fires of hell. And I call out to you as I appear here, as Our Lady of Light, to ask you to pray, to spend your lives in such deep union with my Son, Jesus. I beg you, I beg you this day to listen to the call of your heavenly Mother. Many of my children will go to hell. It is through your prayer and sacrifices that many will change. Pray as you have never prayed before. My dear children, Pray! Pray! Pray! This is an urgent message from Mary your Mother. Will you answer my call?

3. Mary: I walked beside my Son on the way to Calvary. I carried my Son within my womb on the way to Bethlehem. I forever am calling out to you, to come to His Heart, to dwell forever in the burning hearts of love. My words fall on deaf ears for who listens to my cries.

4. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

5. Song: Oh Burning Heart oh Love Divine

6. R. Stand beside Jesus and Mary on the way to Calvary. See Jesus as He peered into the eyes of His beloved Mother, her face covered with tears and so sorrowful, and she peered into the eyes of her beloved Son. His face covered with blood, wounded, and His head crowned with thorns. If we were really there, if we really saw Him, would we believe what they are saying to us this day. Listen to the Scriptures, go to Mass. Be drawn closer to His Heart, walk the Passion with Him. If we would have been there in the Garden, if we would have seen Him scourged at the Pillar and crowned with thorns, if we walked and watched the cross, as it thumped over the dirt up and down, the cross on His back, if we saw Him fall with His chin on the ground, would we believe Him? He once said to me, “Tell them, Rita! I am present in the Eucharist as the day I carried My cross on My back. If I walked across the front of the Church would they believe?” Would we believe if we saw Jesus with the cross on His back and walk across the front of the Church? But He is here, ever present in the Eucharist. The day He walkedacross the Church I heard Him call out, “tell them! Tell them! I am here! Would they believe Me if they saw Me. I give Myself to them in the Eucharist and they run from the church. The Almighty God, I give Myself to them.” Do we hear His words? Over and over again, the same words I hear. I am the messenger to deliver this message to you. For Jesus says, “I have been calling out for your love and longing and thirsting to unite to your hearts.” This is God and He is speaking to us. I am delivering His message to us.

7. Song: A Song from Jesus

8. R. Dear Holy Spirit, open up our hearts and our minds and fill us with Your Wisdom and give us knowledge of You. Holy Spirit give us Your gifts, that we may know and love God more and more. We want to dwell in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus. We want to be more and more like Jesus, that we may live in Him being a light to the world.

9. R. Such intimacy between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Such oneness, Mary loved the Father so deeply. Mary loved Jesus. Mary so united to her Spouse the Holy Spirit. Let us love the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, with Mary’s heart. We want to love Him more deeply and unite to Them deeper and deeper.

10. R. Let us see through the eyes of Mary. See Jesus as He walked the way of Calvary. Let us pray through the heart of Mary. We want a heart more and more like Mary’s pure and tender heart.

 

Jesus Dies on the Cross

1. R. Our life is a constant struggle. We grow more and more in our life in Him. Let us accept all that You are giving to us, with greatest love and help us to cooperate with these sufferings that we may be more abundantly filled with Your precious life.

2. R. Jesus gives to us crosses to bear and we complain and do not appreciate the great gifts that we are given.

3. R. Stand beneath the cross with Mary, and watch as she sees her Son hang. His hands nailed with deep nails and His feet nailed to the cross. Jesus’ head crowned with thorns, His body withered, crowned and He hangs in such peace. Jesus knew the Father’s love. Jesus did the Father’s will. It is in compliance to the Father’s Will that we will have peace and joy in our hearts. Even in deepest suffering we can have peace when we do His will.

4. R. Seek the Will of the Father and do it!

5. R. And now we come to the altar. In such quietness we ascend the altar and the Almighty God gives Himself to us. He spread His arms and gave His life on the cross, Jesus Christ the Son of God gives to us His body and His blood, and in this precious moment He comes within our hearts, He unites in us in deepest union and imprints upon our hearts His love. He gives us knowledge of Himself. He gives to us knowledge of Himself in these precious moments of intimacy within our hearts. This knowledge of knowing Him, not in books! Let us forever cherish these moments with Him. He is communicating to us in a special way in deep intimacy with us.

6. R. Let us forever be so faithful for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, for the great gift of the Eucharist, for the great gifts of the Blessed Sacrament, for the gifts of the priests, for the gifts of the Church. Let us be so thankful and thank Him endlessly for these gifts of Himself.

7. R. Let us pray all through our day for the priests, the Church and the world. Offer up our day to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, with the intercession of the Virgin Mary, for priests the world over, and for the success of the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

8. R. Let us pray fervently for the Chapters throughout the world. To pray for the priests and to pray for one another, as we are united in deepest union with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

9. R. We are called by both Jesus and Mary as special apostles to pray for the priests in the world today. And to pray for the human race, and to pray for the souls in purgatory. Let us pray fervently and let us pray to the Holy Spirit to know the will of the Father.

10. R. Let us unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with Jesus and offer ourselves to the Father in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let us do what the Father asks of us and live to love and praise our God more and more fervently in our lives.

Fr. Smith was out of town, the lay discernment board called me September 11th, Monday night. I went in the next day. They told me we could only pray Our Fathers and Hail Marys, no Shepherds of Christ prayers even though it had the Imprimatur. They didn’t want any messages from Mary and Jesus even though Mary was appearing and often Jesus.

Fr. Carter said go Tuesday September 12th do the Shepherds of Christ Prayers and the rosary without messages. When the rosary was over, a bat came and we ran in the hall, before the Sorrowful Mother Chapel, to the outside, to avoid the bat. Fr. Smith was on vacation, he later said we could say the Shepherds of Christ prayers, but not the prayer asking for money for the Priestly Newsletter in the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Fr. Carter said we had to leave because Jesus gave us the Shepherds of Christ prayers and the other priest could not change Jesus’ format of prayers.

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012)
$ 10.00

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 - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
