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.

Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation

sin.

4. Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit –
Luke 1: 26-38
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.
5. The Incarnation goes on in us.

tabernacle than He was
in Mary's womb.

Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is for
the spread of the rosary
throughout the world.
The Visitation
1. Mary, being pregnant herself, but
hearing through the angel
that Elizabeth had conceived
a child in her old age,
made haste to the hill
country to be with her cousin
Elizabeth.
2. When she arrived the child in
Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy.
3. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit
and cried out the Magnificat.
4. Luke 1: 46-55
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.
5. Mary is the Immaculate
Conception –
Mary is the Immaculate Mother.

Him and receive Him in
Holy Communion.
We carry Jesus in our Hearts.
7. May 13, 1993 Excerpt
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.

I want to live in you and
operate in you. I love you!
10.
Luke 1: 39-45Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’
The Birth of Jesus
1. Song:
A Song from Jesus

there was not room for Him
in the Inn.
Do we have room for Jesus in
our hearts?

the splendor of the night.

But you (Bethlehem) Ephrathah,
the least of the clans of Judah,
from you will come for me
a future ruler of Israel
whose origins go back to the distant past,
to the days of old.
Hence Yahweh will abandon them
only until she who is in labour gives birth,
and then those who survive of his race
will be reunited to the Israelites.
He will take his stand
and he will shepherd them
with the power of Yahweh,
with the majesty of the name of his God,
and they will be secure,
for his greatness will extend
henceforth to the most distant parts
of the country.He himself will be peace!
5. Holy Family – Jesus, Mary, Joseph.
Families are to grow in the
image of God.
In the Trinity there are 3
Persons in one God.
God wants unity.
The devil wants to tear
apart.

poverty in the stable –
a great star shown
above the crib –
Jesus is the Light of the World.

A message from Jesus
My beloved shepherds, I call you to stand watch. I wish you to be united as never before as a body. Stay united in your hearts, no matter where you are, offering up all you do this Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying as a body for the priests , the Church, and the world.Jesus:
Jesus: Mary appears on the building, this is a gift to the world.
Jesus: This Christmas pray as We have instructed. For My Christmas gift encourage others to pray My Shepherds of Christ prayers.
I want all bishops in the world to get the priestly newsletter book.
I want all praying as a body, for the Church, the world and the priests using my prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual).
I want all praying the Holy Spirit Novena I have given for oneness and healing.
I want all to pray the rosary.
I am the Christ Child.
JESUS IS SAVIOR
CHRIST Comes to show the way
Peace on Earth, Good will to men
I love you, Jesus
NOTE: R. Jesus said do not force others to pray, do not have a fight on Christmas with family members who do not wish to pray. He said to pray ourselves if we can. end of December 24, 1999
The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
1. Luke 2: 41-52
Every year his parents used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. When the days of the feast were over and they set off home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. They assumed he was somewhere in the party, and it was only after a day’s journey that they went to look for him among their relations and acquaintances. When they failed to find him they went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere.
It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ But they did not understand what he meant. He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.
312. Mary searched for the Child Jesus in the Temple. Today, there are many searching for those things that will make them happy. We will not be happy if our lives are not rooted in God.
3. We must go to Mary in order to be close to God. As Noah went into the Ark for his refuge, we to must go to the heart of Mary. She is the Ark that will lead us to the Heart of her Son.
4. So many this day are sinning. They must go to the temple. Mary is the temple that we go to, in order to find God. We go to her spiritual womb, to her heart, and we find God. We must do as Our Lady told us at Fatima, and give Mary our hearts. All through the day we give Mary our hearts and Jesus our hearts.
5. This is our job, to spread the Fatima message, to do what Mary has told us to do at Fatima, to give Jesus our hearts, and to tell all the other youth that we must do what Mary said at Fatima. We must give Mary and Jesus our hearts, pray the rosary, go to church on first Saturday, and tell Jesus and Mary we are sorry for the sins in this world.
6. Mary's peace plan is so simple to follow. We have disobeyed our heavenly Mother at Fatima. Mary appeared on July 13, 1917 to the three children. Mary showed the three children a vision of hell. She told them,
"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace."
31. Rev. Edward Carter, S.J., Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje, [Milford: Faith Publishing Co., 1994], p. 4.
7. We are children in the Father's
family. God the Father is our
heavenly Father. Mary is our
heavenly Mother.
We must honor our Father and Mother.
8. We must always try to do
what is pleasing to our
heavenly Father.
9. Mary and Joseph found Jesus in the
temple doing His Father's
business.
10. Jesus lived the quiet life
after this until age 30.
Heroism is found in living
the ordinariness of life
in peace and love.
Giving ourselves, our lives
in surrender to God.
Prayer for Union With Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling in me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of The Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

Mysteries of Light
The Baptism of Jesus
1. St. John the Baptist
prepared the way for
Jesus.
2. Jesus is God's servant to
establish justice in the world,
be a light to the nations
and liberate the captives.
Jesus is God's perfect servant.
3. At Jesus' baptism, God introduces
Jesus to the world, not just
as His servant, but as
His beloved Son with whom
He is well-pleased.
4. Luke 7: 28
'I tell you, of all the children born to women, there is no one greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.'
5. Jesus taught us we are always
to do God's will.
Fr. Carter said "Does it matter
if God asks you to carry
a pebble or a boulder?"
6. The baptism of Jesus is not
the same as ours.
Matthew 3: 11
I baptise you in water for repentance, but the one who comes after me is more powerful than I, and I am not fit to carry his sandals; he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
7. This is a mystery –
Pope John Paul II made this mystery
first of the Mysteries
of Light.
8. John 3: 5
Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born through water and the Spirit;
We need baptism!
9. The sky was thrown open and the voice
of the Father was heard:
"This is My beloved Son
in whom I am
well pleased."
10. Jesus is present to us as
God's Son.
Song:
A Song from Jesus
The Marriage at Cana
1. The baptism of Jesus was the
beginning of Jesus' ministry.
2. Jesus performed His first
public miracle at the
wedding at Cana.
3. Mary has powerful intercession.
They ran out of wine at the
wedding and Mary told
Him this –
then she told the waiters
do what He tells you.
4. Jesus turned water into wine.
John 2: 1-10
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’
5. Jesus gave Himself on Calvary
for our sins.
6. The Mass is the sacrifice
of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.
7. Song:
A Priest is a Gift from God
8. From the Prayer Manual
Prayer for Priests
9. John the Baptist called
Jesus the "Lamb of God".
Lamb of God
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
10. The Aramic word for "lamb"
was
Sing refrain:
The Kingdom of God
1. Sing:
Glory, Glory, Glory Lord
2. Jesus is the Light of the
world –
A people walking in
darkness have seen
a great light!!
3. In Genesis we see God
created the Light –
God gave us eyes to
see the Light –
Then Jesus cured the
blind man, the deaf man.
Many times we don't want to
hear and see what we need to or
we might have to change.
4. God gave us brains to
understand and process what
we see.
We have eye lids to block
what we see.
We can turn off lights –
pull down shades,
live in the dark,
if we want –
5. We can see things in
our imagination or
mind, envision
abstract concepts.
God is a mystery – we
must ask for an increase
in faith. What is faith?
Faith is believing without
necessarily seeing!
6. In the Apostles Creed we say:
Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; on the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
7. Faith is seeing, not with
human eyes or human
reason, but with God's
eyes.
8. Our faith gives us a vision of
such things as why we
were created, how we
are to live, how we are
to treat one another, what
is going to happen after we die.
St. Paul says
"at present we see
indistinctly, as in a
mirror."
Faith is a way of seeing
that which is based on the
word, Jesus spoke to us.
9. When we hear the priest
say
"This is my body"
at Mass
"This is my blood",
we believe it is Jesus, truly
present in the Blessed Sacrament.
10. Christ brings us the light –
So many today close their
minds and hearts to
what Jesus came to
tell us.
At baptism the person
receives a candle –
"Receive the Light"
We receive the supernatural
gift of faith, hope and love in
baptism!!
The Transfiguration
1. Mark 9: 2-8
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.
2. God gave us the light to
live by – what a gift –
what a gift Jesus
gives us –
Jesus is the Light of
the world!!
3. "This is My Beloved Son in
whom I am well pleased,
Listen to Him."
4. The voice of the Father was
heard on Mt. Tabor –
5. This transfiguration is a
one-time event in the
life of Jesus –
The Apostles saw Jesus
walking on water,
calming a storm,
healing the sick,
raising the dead,
feeding thousands,
but the transfiguration
was unique –
Jesus appeared in white
light – so bright.
6. Jesus appeared glorified
at the resurrection.
Sing refrain:
Glory, Glory, Glory Lord
7. God told us at the
transfiguration to
Listen to Jesus.
Disciples of Jesus are learners.
They listen and
want to learn to
be more like Jesus.
8. 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
9. Sing:
Holy God We Praise Thy Name10. Sing:
Oh Lord I am Not Worthy
The Institution of the Eucharist
1. This is a great mystery –
the real presence of Jesus
under the form of bread and
wine in the Eucharist.
2. 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26
For the tradition I received from the Lord and also handed on to you is that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it, and he said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' And in the same way, with the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.' Whenever you eat this bread, then, and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death until he comes.
3. A Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
4. John 6: 27
Do not work for food that goes bad, but work for food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of man will give you, for on him the Father, God himself, has set his seal.
5. Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
6. Sing:
Your Presence Pervades My Soul
7. Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS. XXXV, 232-233
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.
8. Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS. XXXV, 232-233 continues
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 Church’s universal need.
9. Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS. XXXV, 232-233 continues
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.
10. Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS. XXXV, 232-233 continues
He embraces them all, yes, even the weaker and more ailing members, with the deepest love of His Heart.

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 |
