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 new president as he takes office. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.
 

  

                January 5, 2018

                R. The incarnation goes on in us.
                Jesus came to this earth and He
                took on flesh. We go to the Eucharist
                and we eat His Body and Drink
                His Blood and we are transformed.
                We put on Christ. He comes to us
                and He changes us, but we must
                be open and seeking to be transformed
                by His touch.

                    The devil is like a deadly
                snake that wants to wrap
                himself around the host and
                squeeze the life out of his victim.


                    We want God to come into us in
                the Eucharist and transform us.
                We are to be holy and likened more
                and more to God. We were
                created in the image and likeness
                of God. We are to seek this holiness
                and purity – to avoid sin and walk
                in this newness of life in Him, Jesus Christ
                the Son of God.

                    We are filled with gratitude at
                this time of year especially because
                we celebrate the birth of Jesus,
                our Savior who came to save us.

                Jesus is our Redeemer.

 

1 John 2: 29 - 3:6

If you know that he is upright you must recognise that everyone whose life is upright is a child of his.

You must see what great love the Father has lavished on us by letting us be called God's children -- which is what we are! The reason why the world does not acknowledge us is that it did not acknowledge him. My dear friends, we are already God's children, but what we shall be in the future has not yet been revealed. We are well aware that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is. Whoever treasures this hope of him purifies himself, to be as pure as he is. Whoever sins, acts wickedly, because all sin is wickedness. Now you are well aware that he has appeared in order to take sins away, and that in him there is no sin. No one who remains in him sins, and whoever sins has neither seen him nor recognised him.

   

                Sing: All the Ends of the Earth
                    have Seen the Glory of God –

 

John 1: 29-34

    The next day, he saw Jesus coming towards him and said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. It was of him that I said, "Behind me comes one who has passed ahead of me because he existed before me." I did not know him myself, and yet my purpose in coming to baptise with water was so that he might be revealed to Israel.’ And John declared, ‘I saw the Spirit come down on him like a dove from heaven and rest on him. I did not know him myself, but he who sent me to baptise with water had said to me, "The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and rest is the one who is to baptise with the Holy Spirit." I have seen and I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.’

 

                R. Jesus came and He gave Himself as
                a sacrifice for our sins. He is
                the 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 –

                    Jesus is our Savior. He loves us.

                Sing: A Song from Jesus


 

                R. We are to grow in generosity and
                love likened to Jesus who gave Himself
                for us. We are to give up selfish,
                self-enclosure – to go out and to
                be witnesses of Christ who lives
                in us. We are witnesses before
                men. We are aware of the needs of
                others. We are walking to love God
                with our whole heart, our whole soul,
                our whole being and love our neighbor
                as ourselves.

                    God is love – we were created
                in His image and likeness by our
                heavenly Father to be instruments of
                love.

                Satan is hate – He is a liar - He hates.
                The devil wants people to walk in
                darkness – to be blinded by sin –
                to see others as enemies. The devil
                wants a person to be consumed with
                selfishness, isolation, caved-in,
                hatred. The devil wants people to
                walk in darkness and be instruments
                of darkness, pride, envy, jealousy,
                slothfulness. The devil wants people
                who walk without boundaries,
                without limits of demanding
                selfish hatred and ugliness.

                    We see Jesus, the Light of the World,
                our guide in our journey here below –
                He lives in us, we are not blinded
                by the evilness satan wants – we
                are alive – living a newness of life
                every day in Christ.

                    Choosing Life –

                    We choose to follow Christ.

 

Deuteronomy 30: 15-20

‘Look, today I am offering you life and prosperity, death and disaster. If you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am laying down for you today, if you love Yahweh your God and follow his ways, if you keep his commandments, his laws and his customs, you will live and grow numerous, and Yahweh your God will bless you in the country which you are about to enter and make your own. But if your heart turns away, if you refuse to listen, if you let yourself be drawn into worshipping other gods and serving them, I tell you today, you will most certainly perish; you will not live for long in the country which you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. Today, I call heaven and earth to witness against you: I am offering you life or death, blessing or curse. Choose life, then, so that you and your descendants may live, in the love of Yahweh your God, obeying his voice, holding fast to him; for in this your life consists, and on this depends the length of time that you stay in the country which Yahweh swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that he would give them.’

 

                    Life or Death –

                Sing song: Choose Life

 

1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

   

                R. We are to be born in this newness
                of life. God is our Master. We
                put sin out of our lives –
                We seek to walk in holiness and
                purity –

 

1 John 3: 7-10

Children, do not let anyone lead you astray. Whoever acts uprightly is upright, just as he is upright. Whoever lives sinfully belongs to the devil, since the devil has been a sinner from the beginning. This was the purpose of the appearing of the Son of God, to undo the work of the devil.

No one who is a child of God sins because God's seed remains in him. Nor can he sin, because he is a child of God. This is what distinguishes the children of God from the children of the devil: whoever does not live uprightly and does not love his brother is not from God.

 

                Sing: All the ends of the Earth
                    have Seen the Glory of God.

                R. We go to Mass – we receive the Son
                of God in the Eucharist –
                we are more and more transformed.
                God gives us a sharing of Divine life
                in baptism. He opens up to us
                the supernatural life. We do not
                want to walk in darkness –
                we follow Christ – We are
                transformed more and more in
                His image and likeness. We are
                filled with joy – the joy of
                God dwelling in us – purity
                of heart – We are children
                of Our heavenly Father –
                sons of God –

                    We are dedicated to following
                Jesus. He is love. He is the
                Light of the world – We walk
                in the light – we are full
                of love for God and for our brother –

 

1 John 3: 11-21

This is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must love one another, not to be like Cain, who was from the Evil One and murdered his brother. And why did he murder his brother? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's upright. Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you. We are well aware that we have passed over from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love, remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you are well aware that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. This is the proof of love, that he laid down his life for us, and we too ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone is well-off in worldly possessions and sees his brother in need but closes his heart to him, how can the love of God be remaining in him? Children, our love must be not just words or mere talk, but something active and genuine. This will be the proof that we belong to the truth, and it will convince us in his presence, even is our own feelings condemn us, that God is greater than our feelings and knows all things. My dear friends, if our own feelings do not condemn us, we can be fearless before God,

 

                R. Jesus took flesh – we are
                brothers with Christ. God gives
                us baptism – a sharing in Divine Life –
                Jesus feeds this life in the Eucharist
                with Himself –

                    Epiphany!!

                    We are in the family of God!

                    Jesus took on flesh –
                The mystery of the incarnation
                that God comes to us, Jesus
                is our Savior –

                    We could meditate on this
                for our whole life – That God
                loves us so much, despite our
                sins –

 

1 John 5: 5-13

Who can overcome the world
but the one who believes
    that Jesus is the Son of God?
He it is who came by water and blood,
Jesus Christ,
not with water alone
but with water and blood,
and it is the Spirit that bears witness,
for the Spirit is Truth.
So there are three witnesses,
the Spirit, water and blood;
and the three of them coincide.
If we accept
     the testimony of human witnesses,
God’s testimony is greater,
for this is God’s testimony
which he gave about his Son.
Whoever believes in the Son of God
has this testimony within him,
and whoever does not believe
is making God a liar,
because he has not believed
the testimony
    God has given about his Son.
This is the testimony:
God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
Whoever has the Son has life,
and whoever has not the Son of God
    has not life.
I have written this to you
who believe
    in the name of the Son of God
so that you may know
     that you have eternal life.

  

 Psalm 147; 12-15, 19-20 

Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, 
Zion, praise your God. 

For he gives strength to the bars of your gates, 
he blesses your children within you, 
he maintains the peace of your frontiers, 
gives you your fill of finest wheat. 

He sends his word to the earth, 
his command runs quickly, 

He reveals his word to Jacob, 
his statutes and judgements to Israel. 
For no other nation has he done this, 
no other has known his judgements.

 

                R. Oh come let us adore Him –

                    Christ the Lord –

 

 

1 John 5: 14-21

Our fearlessness towards him consists in this, that if we ask anything in accordance with his will he hears us. And if we know that he listens to whatever we ask him, we know that we already possess whatever we have asked of him. If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that is not a deadly sin, he has only to pray, and God will give life to this brother -- provided that it is not a deadly sin. There is sin that leads to death and I am not saying you must pray about that. Every kind of wickedness is sin, but not all sin leads to death. We are well aware that no one who is a child of God sins, because he who was born from God protects him, and the Evil One has no hold over him. We are well aware that we are from God, and the whole world is in the power of the Evil One. We are well aware also that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know the One who is true. We are in the One who is true as we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and this is eternal life. Children, be on your guard against false gods.

 

                R. We praise God, we love God,
                we bow before Jesus, our Savior.

 

 


 

                R. Praise God from the heights –

                Praise His holy name –

                Bend low –

                Give homage to our Savior –

                We see the Epiphany –

                    the Kings come to worship
                and give homage to Jesus.

                    Satan hates the Eucharist –
                Satan hates the Son of God –
                Satan comes to tear down, to
                bring chaos, confusion – to
                stop any adoration of Jesus –

                    The faithful love the Lord –

                    The faithful bow before God –

                    The light is seen in
                        their eyes –

                    They are witness for Christ.

                Jesus is teacher – Jesus shows
                    us the Power of God –
                    Satan has no power –
                    Satan is a trickster –

                Satan is a fallen angel –

                Satan is a liar, a cheat –
                    satan walks to destroy –
                    like a slippery snake –
                    he comes in darkness to
                    tear apart –
                    he works in secret –
                    he hates – he is full of envy
                        and pride

                    Jesus brings love to the hearts
                of those who embrace and
                worship Him. Jesus is the
                Light of the world –

                    The devil works in darkness
                in some hearts at Christmas –
                Selfish, self-pity - trying to hurt
                others – rather than keeping
                the focus of loving and worshipping
                God and thanking Him for His gifts,
                His love given to us!

                    Christmas is a time of great
                joy because of our Savior –
                Epiphany is a time to worship,
                love and bow before God – to
                praise God – to be witnesses like
                the Wise Men before the King –
                Jesus, our Savior
 

21 Years Ago

January 5, 1997

R. On January 5, 1997, I was wakened by Our Lord and He was mumbling as He was around my bed as He did on October 8, 1997, when He delivered the "Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine" message.

I heard Him and He repeated the words over and over again. I had a copy of the all-night message on the floor, I jumped from the bed and began to write around the message, for it was the only paper available and He was speaking very plainly and direct. I wrote this message in the margins of the paper. He kept repeating "BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE".

Jesus:  Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.

Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.

A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wonderingyou lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.

Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothingI cloth you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.

John 1: 14, 12

The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believed in his name

 

Hebrews 1: 1-2

In times past, God spoke in fragmentary and varied ways to our fathers through the prophets; in this, the final age, he has spoken to us through his Son, whom he has made heir of all things and through whom he first created the universe.

 

                R. Adore the child Jesus, bow
                    and bend low –

                Walk in the truth – God
                    is absolute truth –

                Jesus came the Savior of the world.
                Jesus died for our sins –
                Bend and bow to Him!!

                    We bring ourselves to the altar
                of the Lord –

                    Our gift is our love –

                    Our gift is ourselves –

                Dear heavenly Father, Father
                    of peace, fill our hearts
                    with holy love for God
                    and for others –

                We sincerely give You ourselves.

                Help us to have insight
                    into the hidden mystery
                    of Your love!

                May we be strengthened in walking
                    in a newness of greater
                    life in God –

                May we love good and hate what
                    is evil – walking in the
                    light and loving God with
                    all our hearts –

                Jesus is our Savior –

                Jesus came and took flesh –

                The incarnation goes on
                    in us –

                Sing: Glory Be –

                Oh God fill us with the
                    virtues of faith, hope and love –
                    increase in us these
                    virtues –

                Strengthen us –

                Help us to be just in
                    our dealings –

                Help us to have prudence
                    and humility –

                We ask heavenly Father to fill us
                    with an increase in these
                    virtues in the Name of Your
                    Son, Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit –
                    we love You God –
                    we adore You God
                    we worship You God
                    we give ourselves as a
                        gift to You –
                    we surrender our lives
                        to You

 

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 within 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.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical 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. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical 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. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical 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. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical 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. $15

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD.Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
