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.

                December 8, 2018 - Feast of the Immaculate Conception

                R. The love of God is given to us. God
                created us in love – God wants us to
                live the Christ-life – God created us
                in His image and likeness. God
                created us to know, love and serve
                Him. Adam and Eve were given such gifts –
                God created them for love.

                    There was order and peace in the
                world. Satan is a prowling lion looking
                for someone to devour. He went to
                Eve – He is aggressive, attacking – going
                out to hurt, to deceive, to trick, to
                have power over.

                    Satan said to Eve "I've been watching
                you". Then he began his lies of deception –
                attacking, to win over, to get her under
                his control.

                    Then after he tempted Eve by lying
                to her and luring her, she sinned
                and she went to Adam to get him
                to sin. Adam sinned and disorder
                and destruction, sin entered the world.

                    Jesus is peace and love – He gives to
                us. He wants what is good for us –
                He loves us so much. He gave us His
                letters of love in the Blue Books so
                we know His love – He wants us
                with Him eternally in heaven – He
                wants us to be instruments of love –
                He commands us to serve Him –

                    In World War II we see the attacking
                of the enemy to win power.

                    We see the attack on Pearl Harbor.
                The anniversary of this was yesterday
                December 7, 1941 – Jesus gave me a Revelation
                of Light message, Fr. Carter, S.J. treasured
                December 7, 1996 – this was ten days before
                Mary appeared in rainbow color in
                Clearwater.

                    Two days before this Jesus appeared to me
                on the cross at Holy Cross - Immaculata Church -
                because He said no one was listening.
                He appeared in full body dying His mouth
                moving. I was horrified. This was 12
                days before Mary appeared in rainbow
                color in Clearwater.

                    The devil is attacking – the devil
                goes out to win – to hurt – to deceive –
                to start chaos, confusion, deception –

                    The devil hates Mary –

                    The devil wants to stop the work Jesus
                and Mary have given in this world.

                    He attacks – and like Jesus says –
                He doesn't give up – He acts like a
                woodpecker and keeps it up, to weary,
                to win over for his evil. He doesn't
                come in red tights – he uses people
                that give into him and he gives them
                lies and they can have endless energy
                to attack, brutally, violently, if
                they let him rule them –

                    The devil blinds, deceives and the more
                they live for the devil and violence –
                the more energy they have as they
                give into him.

                    When buildings are to destroyed
                they use a truck with a "wrecking ball"
                on it.

                Satan is like that –

                    A person can be so rooted in God
                and another can come like a wrecking
                ball for satan to tear them down.

 


 

                R. God created us to love one another –
                He is there. Mary walks by our side –
                God gives us the Mass, the sacrifice of
                Calvary, sacramentally made present –
                God comes to us Body, Blood, Soul
                and Divinity in the Eucharist –

                    We are so blessed. God gives
                us a sharing in His life in baptism –

                    God elevates our knowing and loving
                capacity in baptism to a supernatural level –
                but we must give our free will to be
                good, to serve God, to love –
                live in virtues.

                    The person who lives for satan
                and listens to his lies can become
                an enemy fighting a war for satan –

                    Satan doesn't give up Jesus says –
                He comes sneaky to destroy, but his
                ways can have more and more gaul
                Mary says – He comes attacking and he
                expects to bring down the house –

                    The devil tries to get places of power –
                so he can change rules and behavior
                so his behavior of evil is the rule
                and he wants the person to act in
                impudence if this behavior that is
                horrid is not accepted. Satan wants
                power and he uses men that lust
                after power for their selfish pursuits.
                Satan even in full swing wants
                others to squirm under his power –
                As he said to Christ –

 

Luke 4: 1-13

   Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert, for forty days being put to the test by the devil. During that time he ate nothing and at the end he was hungry. Then the devil said to him, ‘If you are Son of God, tell this stone to turn into a loaf.’ But Jesus replied, ‘Scripture says:

    Human beings live not on bread alone.

   Then leading him to a height, the devil showed him in a moment of time all the kingdoms of the world and said to him, ‘I will give you all this power and their splendour, for it has been handed over to me, for me to give it to anyone I choose.& Do homage, then, to me, and it shall all be yours.’ But Jesus answered him, ‘Scripture says:

     You must do homage to the Lord your God,
        him alone you must serve.’

   Then he led him to Jerusalem and set him on the parapet of the Temple. ‘If you are Son of God,’ he said to him, ‘throw yourself down from here, for scripture says:

       He has given his angels orders about you,
            to guard you,

and again:

 They will carry you in their arms
   in case you trip over a stone.’

But Jesus answered him, ‘Scripture says:

Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’

Having exhausted every way of putting him to the test, the devil left him, until the opportune moment.

 

               

 

                R. Jesus cried over Jerusalem –

                Do you see war –

                Satan wants war –

                He uses men to fight war against God –

                Satan is aggressive, if a man serves
                    him – satan has nothing to lose –
                    He moves ahead – 2 steps ahead
                    if he can get away with it –

 


 

                R. Satan's game is a game

                And it can become more and more
                    violent –

                He can wage an out and out attack and
                    won't give up afterward –

 

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message 

 

                R. For 24 years Mary has appeared begging
                    to spread the message of Jesus
                    and Mary and the Consecration
                    to Their Hearts –
                    the message on the Mass –
                    the message from China, Indiana
                    the message from Florida –

                Satan wants to take down the Churches
                    where Mass is being celebrated
                    discredit the priests –
                    discredit authority –
                    work through those who seek power
                        disconnected to God –

 


 

                R. Satan wants people disconnected to
                    God but under him – to
                    wage WAR against God –
                    and it becomes more and
                    more aggressive –

                Satan is attacking and discrediting the
                    authority coming from God –

                R. How can a person have a relationship
                    with God or anybody when
                    they lived the NO TALK rule.

                Since the beginning the battle
                has been going on, the wrestling
                with the demons.

                    Look at Jesus after He
                fasted in the desert –

                    St. Ignatius has given us the
                Discernment of Spirits

                    God is all powerful,
                we are to obey the commandments
                and co-operate with others
                in doing God's will in love.
                God works in order –

                    The devil comes in
                disorder –

                    The devil works in attacking
                the just man serving God –
                the devil wants disorder –
                disobedience to God –
                hidden, hateful, chaos –
                confusion, lies –
                The evil one wants to destroy
                God's work, so he can
                have power and over throw
                the place –

                We need to pray for the grace
                to do whatever God wants us
                to do to serve Him and
                build the Kingdom of God –

                    We are given the life of
                Jesus and Mary in the rosary,
                in scripture to meditate
                on Christ and His life
                living with Mary –

                    We are commanded to
                love God and others and
                follow God! !

                    Be witnesses to Christ!

                Live the Christ-life –

                Help the world to be as
                    God wants it to
                    be –

                We are to be God's
                    instruments!

                We are to examine how
                    we are offending God,
                    our neighbor, our
                    self by serving satan!

                How is our relationships
                    with God, others,
                    ourselves hurting the
                    world, the Church?

                God loves us – He commands
                    us to love –

                Mary says the devil wants
                    to make right - wrong and
                    wrong - right –

                And a person being gripped
                    by satan –
                very often just wants to get
                away with it with their
                lies and secrecy and refuses
                to validate their sinful
                behavior –

                    Like Judas –
                    the bad thief –

                    they just want to get
                        back to their
                        sins! !

                God made us for life –
                    life in Him –
                    to serve Him –

                He wants us with Him
                    in bliss for all
                    eternity –

                He wants us in heaven –

                But we have a free
                    will to disobey and
                    try to raise ourselves
                    over God –

                    As children of Adam and Eve
                and original sin – even though
                we were baptized we have
                tendencies to the deadly sins –

                    We need to know about
                hell so we don't go there –
                Our Lady has told us
                about going to hell
                as she appeared for
                24 years to me –

                In Clearwater –

                Sin is real –

                Souls going to hell for
                    eternity is real, Mary says.

                If I sin mortally and
                    deny it and keep
                    sinning the possibility
                    of hell for eternity
                    is real!

                The damned have pain
                    and suffer eternally
                    in hell!!

                God commands us to love
                    Him and our neighbor
                    as ourselves –
                    it's not an option!

                I should never not love
                    God – let hate fill
                    my heart for God,
                    neighbor or self –

                God has given us the
                    sacrament of
                    penance!!

                    Think of the interior pain
                of the damned for all
                eternity to never see God –
                to only have hate and
                NO love –

                    Even if you don't
                love – you would think
                the fear of hell would
                get you to do what is
                God's will for us.

                    Sin is real – Sin is
                a big problem in relationships
                with God and others and
                if one denies sin – it
                gets worse.

                    Jesus told me
                    You don't stay
                the same – you are
                constantly changing –

                There is a heaven and
                    there is a hell and
                    Our Lady gave
                    this message to go
                    with her apparition
                    in Clearwater.

Excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. pp.141-150

313. RULES FOR DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS
I

Rules for understanding to some extent the different movements produced in the soul and for recognizing those that are good to admit them, and those that are bad, to reject them. These rules are more suited to the first week
  

314.  I.  In the case of those who go from one mortal sin to another, the enemy is ordinarily accustomed to propose apparent pleasures. He fills their imagination with sensual delights and gratifications, the more readily to keep them in their vices and increase the number of their sins.

    With such persons the good spirit uses a method which is the reverse of the above. Making use of the light of reason, he will rouse the sting of conscience and fill them with remorse.

315.  2.  In the case of those who go on earnestly striving to cleanse their souls from sin and who seek to rise in the service of God our Lord to greater perfection, the method pursued is the opposite of that mentioned in the first rule.

    Then it is characteristic of the evil spirit to harass with anxiety, to afflict with sadness, to raise obstacles backed by fallacious reasonings that disturb the soul. Thus he seeks to prevent the soul from advancing.

    It is characteristic of the good spirit, however, to give courage and strength, consolations, tears, inspirations, and peace. This He does by making all easy, by removing all obstacles so that the soul goes forward in doing good.

316.  3.  SPIRITUAL CONSOLATION.  I call it consolation when an interior movement is aroused in the soul, by which it is inflamed with love of its Creator and Lord, and as a consequence, can love no creature on the face of the earth for its own sake, but only in the Creator of them all. It is likewise consolation when one sheds tears that move to the love of God, whether it be because of sorrow for sins, or because of the sufferings of Christ our Lord, or for any other reason that is immediately directed to the praise and service of God. Finally, I call consolation every increase of faith, hope, and love, and all interior joy that invites and attracts to what is heavenly and to the salvation of one's soul by filling it with peace and quiet in its Creator and Lord.

317.  4.  SPIRITUAL DESOLATION.  I call desolation what is entirely the opposite of what is described in the third rule, as darkness of soul, turmoil of spirit, inclination to what is low and earthly, restlessness rising from many disturbances and temptations which lead to want of faith, want of hope, want of love. The soul is wholly slothful, tepid, sad, and separated, as it were, from its Creator and Lord. For just as consolation is the opposite of desolation, so the thoughts that spring from consolation are the opposite of those that spring from desolation.

318.  5.  In time of desolation we should never make any change, but remain firm and constant in the resolution and decision which guided us the day before the desolation, or in the decision to which we adhered in the preceding consolation. For just as in consolation the good spirit guides and counsels us, so in desolation the evil spirit guides and counsels. Following his counsels we can never find the way to a right decision.

319.  6.  Though in desolation we must never change our former resolutions, it will be very advantageous to intensify our activity against the desolation. We can insist more upon prayer, upon meditation, and on much examination of ourselves. We can make an effort in a suitable way to do some penance.

320.  7.  When one is in desolation, he should be mindful that God has left him to his natural powers to resist the different agitations and temptations of the enemy in order to try him. He can resist with the help of God, which always remains, though he may not clearly perceive it. For though God has taken from him the abundance of fervor and overflowing love and the intensity of His favors, nevertheless, he has sufficient grace for eternal salvation.

321.  8.  When one is in desolation, he should strive to persevere in patience. This reacts against the vexations that have overtaken him. Let him consider, too, that consolation will soon return, and in the meantime, he must diligently use the means against desolation which have been given in the sixth rule.

322.  9.  The principal reasons why we suffer from desolation are three:

    The first is because we have been tepid and slothful or negligent in our exercises of piety, and so through our own fault spiritual consolation has been taken away from us.

    The second reason is because God wishes to try us, to see how much we are worth, and how much we will advance in His service and praise when left without the generous reward of consolations and signal favors.

    The third reason is because God wishes to give us a true knowledge and understanding of ourselves, so that we may have an intimate perception of the fact that it is not within our power to acquire and attain great devotion, intense love, tears, or any other spiritual consolation; but that all this is the gift and grace of God our Lord. God does not wish us to build on the property of another, to rise up in spirit in a certain pride and vainglory and attribute to ourselves the devotion and other effects of spiritual consolation.

323.  10.  When one enjoys consolation, let him consider how he will conduct himself during the time of ensuing desolation, and store up a supply of strength as defense against that day.

324.  11.  He who enjoys consolation should take care to humble himself and lower himself as much as possible. Let him recall how little he is able to do in time of desolation, when he is left without such grace or consolation.

    On the other hand, one who suffers desolation should remember that by making use of the sufficient grace offered him, he can do much to withstand all his enemies. Let him find his strength in his Creator and Lord.

325.  12.  The enemy conducts himself as a woman. He is a weakling before a show of strength, and a tyrant if he has his will. It is characteristic of a woman in a quarrel with a man to lose courage and take to flight if the man shows that he is determined and fearless. However, if the man loses courage and begins to flee, the anger, vindictiveness, and rage of the woman surge up and know no bounds. In the same way, the enemy becomes weak, loses courage, and turns to flight with his seductions as soon as one leading a spiritual life faces his temptations boldly, and does exactly the opposite of what he suggests. However, if one begins to be afraid and to lose courage in temptations, no wild animal on earth can be more fierce than the enemy of our human nature. He will carry out his perverse intentions with consummate malice.

326.  13.  Our enemy may also be compared in his manner of acting to a false lover. He seeks to remain hidden and does not want to be discovered. If such a lover speaks with evil intention to the daughter of a good father, or to the wife of a good husband, and seeks to seduce them, he wants his words and solicitations kept secret. He is greatly displeased if his evil suggestions and depraved intentions are revealed by the daughter to her father, or by the wife to her husband. Then he readily sees he will not succeed in what he has begun. In the same way, when the enemy of our human nature tempts a just soul with his wiles and seductions, he earnestly desires that they be received secretly and kept secret. But if one manifests them to a confessor, or to some other spiritual person who understands his deceits and malicious designs, the evil one is very much vexed. For he knows that he cannot succeed in his evil undertaking, once his evident deceits have been revealed.

327.  14.  The conduct of our enemy may also be compared to the tactics of a leader intent upon seizing and plundering a position he desires. A commander and leader of an army will encamp, explore the fortifications and defenses of the stronghold, and attack at the weakest point. In the same way, the enemy of our human nature investigates from every side all our virtues, theological, cardinal, and moral. Where he finds the defenses of eternal salvation weakest and most deficient, there he attacks and tries to take us by storm.

 

328. RULES FOR DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS
II

Further rules for understanding the different movements produced in the soul. They serve for a more accurate discernment of spirits and are more suitable for the second week
  

329.  I.  It is characteristic of God and His Angels, when they act upon the soul, to give true happiness and spiritual joy, and to banish all the sadness and disturbances which are caused by the enemy.
   It is characteristic of the evil one to fight against such happiness and consolation by proposing fallacious reasonings, subtilties, and continual deceptions.

330.  2.  God alone can give consolation to the soul without any previous cause. It belongs solely to the Creator to come into a soul, to leave it, to act upon it, to draw it wholly to the love of His Divine Majesty. I said without previous cause, that is, without any preceding perception or knowledge of any subject by which a soul might be led to such a consolation through its own acts of intellect and will.

331.  3.  If a cause precedes, both the good angel and the evil spirit can give consolation to a soul, but for a quite different purpose. The good angel consoles for the progress of the soul, that it may advance and rise to what is more perfect. The evil spirit consoles for purposes that are the contrary, and that afterwards he might draw the soul to his own perverse intentions and wickedness.

332.  4.  It is a mark of the evil spirit to assume the appearance of an angel of light. He begins by suggesting thoughts that are suited to a devout soul, and ends by suggesting his own. For example, he will suggest holy and pious thoughts that are wholly in conformity with the sanctity of the soul. Afterwards, he will endeavor little by little to end by drawing the soul into his hidden snares and evil designs.

333.  5.  We must carefully observe the whole course of our thoughts. If the beginning and middle and end of the course of thoughts are wholly good and directed to what is entirely right, it is a sign that they are from the good angel. But the course of thoughts suggested to us may terminate in something evil, or distracting, or less good than the soul had formerly proposed to do. Again, it may end in what weakens the soul, or disquiets it; or by destroying the peace, tranquility, and quiet which it had before, it may cause disturbance to the soul. These things are a clear sign that the thoughts are proceeding from the evil spirit, the enemy of our progress and eternal salvation.

334.  6.  When the enemy of our human nature has been detected and recognized by the trail of evil marking his course and by the wicked end to which he leads us, it will be profitable for one who has been tempted to review immediately the whole course of the temptation. Let him consider the series of good thoughts, how they arose, how the evil one gradually attempted to make him step down from the state of spiritual delight and joy in which he was, till finally he drew him to his wicked designs. The purpose of this review is that once such an experience has been understood and carefully observed, we may guard ourselves for the future against the customary deceits of the enemy.

335.  7.  In souls that are progressing to greater perfection, the action of the good angel is delicate, gentle, delightful. It may be compared to a drop of water penetrating a sponge.
    The action of the evil spirit upon such souls is violent, noisy, and disturbing. It may be compared to a drop of water falling upon a stone.
    In souls that are going from bad to worse, the action of the spirits mentioned above is just the reverse. The reason for this is to be sought in the opposition or similarity of these souls to the different kinds of spirits. When the disposition is contrary to that of the spirits, they enter with noise and commotion that are easily perceived. When the disposition is similar to that of the spirits, they enter silently, as one coming into his own house when the doors are open.

336.  8.  When consolation is without previous cause, as was said, there can be no deception in it, since it can proceed from God our Lord only. But a spiritual person who has received such a consolation must consider it very attentively, and must cautiously distinguish the actual time of the consolation from the period which follows it. At such a time the soul is still fervent and favored with the grace and aftereffects of the consolation which has passed. In this second period the soul frequently forms various resolutions and plans which are not granted directly by God our Lord. They may come from our own reasoning on the relations of our concepts and on the consequences of our judgments, or they may come from the good or evil spirit. Hence, they must be carefully examined before they are given full approval and put into execution.

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

"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
