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.

                R. Jesus tells the Apostles how He will suffer
                and die. They did not understand this. Peter
                protests and Peter is rebuked by Jesus.
                Jesus says it how it is. He says Peter has
                little faith. From Jesus' prospective as God
                Jesus said it how it was and they needed
                to listen to Him for they also would suffer
                the cross.

                    In the prophesy of Simeon – Simeon
                told Mary of the sufferings to come when
                Jesus was just a little baby and Simeon
                told Mary a sword will pierce her heart.

                    But Jesus tells us He is always with us
                no matter what happens.

                    I remember my mom having cancer and
                dying when I was five years old. It was
                hard to have that happen, but God sent us
                a wonderful step-mother and then when I
                was the age my mom was when she died, I
                was given a friend like Fr. Carter and Mary
                began appearing to me.

                We never understand the ways of the Lord or the
                Plan of the Father like God does. We are learners and
                we know in living it is death / resurrection.
                We must listen and stay close to God to endure
                the sufferings.

                    Jesus knew He was going to go through the
                bitter passion – He told them a third time –
                it was how it was to be and Jesus knowing
                this must have been great suffering
                for Him and suffering for Mary to know
                what she did know from the Prophesy of Simeon.
                It is very hard for a mom to know their son
                would suffer.

 


 

                R. Jesus lamented over Jerusalem. Instead
                of listening to Jesus they had different ideas
                many times.

                    Jesus told them how it was and some
                rejected and opposed Him. Jesus said how
                the scribes and Pharisees were and that
                brought opposition against Him.

                    In Matthew 24: 1-25 and 46 Jesus predicts the
                destruction of the temple and His final coming.

 

Matthew 24: 1-2

Jesus left the Temple, and as he was going away his disciples came up to draw his attention to the Temple buildings. He said to them in reply, ‘You see all these? In truth I tell you, not a single stone here will be left on another: everything will be pulled down.’

 

                R. I had suffered with losing my voice before
                I began really getting the writings and meeting
                Fr. Carter. I couldn't breathe, it got so I had to quit
                all my jobs to do this and before that happened
                January 27, 1992 Jesus said

                    "There will not be a stone left on a stone"
                I was falling asleep as I wrote this and the
                pen went down the page and then I lost
                my voice and had to quit teaching, my singing
                and all the things I was doing and He began
                giving me these writings.

 

                January 27, 1992

                 Jesus: My child listen to My voice, heed My
                direction, days are coming when there will
                not be a stone left on a stone, but you
                have nothing to fear, trust in me and know
                I am your God and I will watch out after
                you. I love you, you are My child. Go to
                bed.

                                        I love you
                                            Jesus

                R. This was the message I fell asleep at the end. 

                end of excerpt

 

                R. Do you realize how much Jesus uses stone
                in the scriptures – referring to hardened hearts
                as hearts of stone – the stone the builders rejected -
                Jesus says "your hearts are hearts of stone and
                your bodies are numb"

                    Stone is used a lot in scriptures – in the
                resurrection the stone is moved from the tomb.
                In the wedding of Cana – they are stone water
                jars filled with water that are changed to wine.

                Remember the stone the builders rejected has
                become the corner stone –

 

Matthew 4: 1-4

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the test by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry, and the tester came and said to him, ‘If you are Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves.’ But he replied, ‘Scripture says: 

    Human beings live not on bread alone 
    but on every word 
        that comes from the mouth of God.’ 

 

                April 1, 2008 excerpt

                    This is a quote from St. Thomas' writings.

 

Goal of human life

In Aquinas's thought, the goal of human existence is union and eternal fellowship with God. Specifically, this goal is achieved through the beatific vision, an event in which a person experiences perfect, unending happiness by comprehending the very essence of God. This vision, which occurs after death, is a gift from God given to those who have experienced salvation and redemption through Christ while living on earth.
This ultimate goal carries implications for one's present life on earth. Aquinas stated that an individual's will must be ordered toward right things, such as charity, peace, and holiness. He sees this as the way to happiness. Aquinas orders his treatment of the moral life around the idea of happiness. The relationship between will and goal is antecedent in nature "because rectitude of the will consists in being duly ordered to the last end [that is, the beatific vision]." Those who truly seek to understand and see God will necessarily love what God loves. Such love requires morality and bears fruit in everyday human choices.

                If one talks and another won't listen — there is
                no communication.

                Mary appeared at Fatima to deliver an important message.
                Our Lady appeared at Clearwater to give the message
                    about spreading the Consecration, Prayer Chapters,
                    Priestly Newsletter, Blue Books.

                end of excerpt

 

                R. Do we want Jesus to deliver a different
                message when we reject His message
                like a stone –

                In the Daily Message Jesus refers to stones.

                In the scriptures Jesus refers to stones.

                The stone which the builders rejected has
                    become the corner stone.
 

                Excerpt April 1, 2008

John 17: 21-23

May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
   and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
   you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
   that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.

   

                The Trinity is the most perfect community.

                By the Blessed Trinity we mean one and the same
                    God in three Divine Persons.

                In Eternity we are to be wrapped in the embrace of the
                    Trinity — the goal of our lives is the
                    beatific vision.

                People who are wounded may want to hurt others
                    by misuse of power, creating division
                    with others for the sake of acting out
                    their own wounded division felt inside
                    of them —

                To please God we are to work in accord.
                    The men beat the Son of God at the pillar —
                    How can men hurt others like that —

                In life if one man hurts another enough and
                    imposes this hurt on them, the man
                    hurt can find another to try to control and
                    work out what is being done to him that
                    bleeds inside him — but this is darkness —
                    It's acting for the devil!!

                Beating Jesus at the pillar

                Beating the Son of God — came from men filled
                    with hatred that wanted to tie up Jesus,
                    beat Him — tear His flesh, laugh —
                    spit on Him
                    These men had hatred inside — They acted according —
                        to their wounded human nature
                    Talk about a wounded human nature —

                Well man gets wounded by other men
                Does he go to Jesus to heal and help others who
                    are wounded

                Or does he lie to hide his wounds and keep
                    acting them out on innocent others — trying to get power
                    over others so he really can inflict
                    punishment on them while he is
                    in control —
                    He lost his power here and is hurt
                    He seeks power to hurt another — Projection

                An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is
                    one against one

 

 

                In a man wounded and unable to get back at the
                    source who wounded them — it is basically
                    an 'eye for an eye', but using a surrogate
                    other they can inflict their wounds on an innocent other —
                    "I was wounded" the man says —
                    "I have lost power —
                    I will control another and impose my
                        unfinished business on them —
                        now I am in control"

                    Power lost —
                    Power gained —

                Jesus was beaten at the pillar
                Jesus came in pure love to pay for our sins —
                Jesus wasn't fighting back  one-on-one
                Jesus wasn't projecting His pain on others
                    to make them suffer like was done to Him.

                Jesus shows us pure love.

                Projection — punishing another for unhealed
                    wounds, happens especially in people who
                    have had trauma and want that unfinished
                    business resolved, but the unfinished
                    business and its truth they have buried
                    and they act out their hatred and anger
                    on others they seek to have power
                    over and make suffer — hoping their
                    pain will go away —

                But this may be done unconsciously —
                    they really think the new person is
                        deserving of combat — division —
                        but it is projection —

                        they have the hidden hate —

                        It is buried under the traumatic wound —
                        they hid and they hurt they want to make others hurt
                            they provoke sometimes to get others to cry.
                                "I'm right."
                                "You deserve it."

                Jesus was the scapegoat.
                The Son of God —
                The men were full of hatred — It was inside of them
                They wanted to hurt someone for their hatred
                They beat Jesus — God-made-man

                The devil works in this using people old unfinished wounds
                    as doors in which he enters — Some try to
                    punish others for their hidden rage from being
                    hurt and after repeated events doing this to a
                    partner — they have the sickness to point
                    a finger at the other's emotions —

                Trying to work up another to fury for hidden pain is wrong —
                    they may say "look at you"
                    words that they have used in the past over and over again
                    they failed to even recognize.
                    Christ was whipped for our sins.

                The important thing to see here —
                    is projection

                    All of us were wounded
                    All of us may do things to others that we
                        do not realize from past experiences

                    But unless the person with the big trauma
                        and unfinished business gets over his
                        pride — he will keep trying to hurt others
                        and himself like the men who
                        whipped Jesus —
                        the innocent Lamb led to the slaughter

                Jesus did this for our sins
                    Jesus paid the price for our sins

                    We are to look at ourselves and see we are
                        imperfect — we have hurt others —
                        whether intentionally or unintentionally —
                        because of ignorance or people who —
                        wounded us, but to be pure like Jesus —
                        We must act in truth —
                        We recognize that we are sinners and
                            want to build God's Kingdom —
                            not prove we have a superior
                            'face' of perfection —

                In the end we face the all knowing God —

Luke 3: 7-9

    He said, therefore, to the crowds who came to be baptised by him, ‘Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming retribution? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance, and do not start telling yourselves, “We have Abraham as our father,” because, I tell you, God can raise children for Abraham from these stones. Yes, even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees, so that any tree failing to produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown on the fire.’

                . . .

Genesis 1: 27-28

.    God created man in the image of himself, 
    in the image of God he created him, 
    male and female he created them. 

      God blessed them, saying to them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on earth.’

                2) Great Knowledge
                3) Self-Control
                4) Never-Suffer

Garden of Eden

 

The Fall of Man

Genesis 3: 1-7

Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

Matthew 28: l6-20

Meanwhile the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to meet them. When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated. Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.'

 

                Jesus: My power chipping at the stone

                I shall remove the heart of stone from
                your bodies and give you a new heart

                Jesus: You have bars enclosed in your stone or
                    brick houses

 

January 27, 1992

                I CAN NEVER LIVE THE
                    MOMENTS OF THIS DAY
                    AGAIN

                WHEN I GO TO BED
                    TODAY IS GONE FOREVER

                I MUST CHOOSE TO TREASURE
                    EACH MOMENT BECAUSE
                    IT IS THE ONLY
                    MOMENT I HAVE AND
                    IT ONLY LASTS ONE MOMENT.

                Excerpt from September 21, 2009

                    When I started writing the Blue
                Books, Jesus took my voice away —
                I was a teacher in college — an
                organist at Church — a singer
                in the seminary choir — I wanted
                to do God's will because I was
                getting messages — I prayed and
                prayed and He took my voice away —
                this was January, 1992 I got a message
                there would not be a stone left
                on a stone and as I wrote it —
                I was falling asleep so the pen
                went down the paper like
                this

   

                It was like the next day the voice
                issue started and I taught 4 — 3 hour
                classes at the University of Cincinnati and
                Xavier — 12 hours a week —

                I sang in the seminary choir for
                years —

                I was an organist and choir director
                    in a small church

                and a mother

                Jesus took my voice away —
                    I cried it was so awful —
                    I begged —
                    I have worked my whole life
                        for this —
                        how can I do this with
                        no voice —

                I quit my jobs — then my voice returned
                I prayed so much
                I turned my will over to God
                I surrendered —

                R. When Jesus gave me the
                    Blue Books He said

                "Feed the hungry"

                Our soul is hungering and
                    thirsting

 

Daniel 2: 31-45

    'You have had a vision, Your Majesty; this is what you saw: a statue, a great statue of extreme brightness, stood before you, terrible to see. The head of this statue was of fine gold, its chest and arms were of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,  its legs of iron, its feet part iron, part clay. While you were gazing, a stone broke away, untouched by any hand, and struck the statue, struck its feet of iron and clay and shattered them. Then, iron and clay, bronze, silver and gold, all broke into pieces as fine as chaff on the threshing-floor in summer. The wind blew them away, leaving not a trace behind. And the stone that had struck the statue grew into a great mountain, filling the whole world. This was the dream; we shall now explain to the king what it means.

    'You, Your Majesty, king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength and honour human beings, wild animals, birds of the air, wherever they live, he has entrusted to your rule, making you king of them all you are the golden head. And, after you, another kingdom will rise, not as great as yours, and then a third, of bronze, which will rule the whole world. There will be a fourth kingdom, hard as iron, as iron that pulverises and crushes all. Like iron that breaks everything to pieces, it will crush and break all the earlier kingdoms. The feet you saw, part earthenware, part iron, are a kingdom which will be split in two, but which will retain something of the strength of iron, just as you saw the iron and the clay of the earthenware mixed together. The feet were part iron, part potter's clay: the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron and the clay of the earthenware mixed together, so the two will be mixed together in human seed; but they will not hold together any more than iron will blend with clay. In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not pass into the hands of another race: it will shatter and absorb all the previous kingdoms and itself last for ever just as you saw a stone, untouched by hand, break away from the mountain and reduce iron, bronze, earthenware, silver and gold to powder. The Great God has shown the king what is to take place. The dream is true, the interpretation exact.'

 

                R. Lazarus had a stone outside of
                    his tomb –
                    Jesus said to remove the stone –

                Put a stone on a
                    dead man

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
