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

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

under God to work together in love as God wants. We pray for the
upcoming election.

A Few Thoughts
Jesus tells us: I
am the way, the
truth and the light.
Through Him, with Him and In Him
We live as sons of
God a holy life
in our life of “Sonship” to the Father.
Christ showed us
the way.
Sonship.
A
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

act in
me. I

You. I
adore
You. I
worship
You.
Come
and
possess
my soul
with
Your
Divine
Grace,
as I
experience
You
most
intimately.
The Sacraments are
encounters with
Christ.
We live the
Christ-life from Baptism.
So good
The sacraments.
Thanks
God is the
initiator.
We respond to God.
We don’t sit back and tell God to do
it for us while we expect Him to
prove things to us.
We walk by faith.
We follow Jesus.
We live as St Paul says
Galatians 2: 19-20
...I have been crucified with
Christ and yet I am alive; yet
it is no longer I, but Christ
living in me.
Response to Christ
Response to God’s
love!
God loved us first.
Mary said ”I am the
Handmaid
of the Lord!”
We are one in God.
He is the initiator, we the soul
waiting His favor.
Give your priest
& deacon a gift.

Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master,
which is the greatest commandment of the
Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must
love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with
all your mind. This is the greatest and
the first commandment. The second
resembles it: You must love your
neighbour as yourself. On these two
commandments hang the whole Law, and the
Prophets too.'
Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.
Alleluia.

Mysteries of Light
The Baptism of Jesus
1.
Mark 1: 9-11
It was at this time
that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the
Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water,
he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove,
descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son,
the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’
2. Sonship - Jesus
is the perfect Son.
3. The Father is well pleased.
4. When we are baptized we receive
a sharing in Divine life.
5. We are in the Father’s family - sons
and daughters of the Father.
6. We want to please our Heavenly
Father.
7. Jesus showed us how.
8. God loved us first.
9. We respond to God’s love.
10. God is the Initiator, we the soul
waiting His favors.
The Marriage at Cana
1.
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.’
2. Mary was with
Jesus 30 years in
His public life.
3. We see Mary had a relationship
with the Apostles in Jesus' public
life.
4. This is the first miracle of Christ's
public life.
5. Mary has powerful intercession.
6. God the Father has a Plan.
7. Jesus showed us He obeyed the
Father's will.
8. Mary is the perfect Handmaid of Jesus.
9. Come to me Lord and possess my soul.
10. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present.
Building the Kingdom of God
1.
John
18: 36-37
Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this
world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to
prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does
not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’
Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born
for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the
truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’
2. We are called by
God to help in the
building of the Kingdom of God.
3. Call - Response
4. God loved us first.
5. We were created in the image and
likeness of Jesus.
6. A 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
7. God wants us to
live the Christ-life
in our lives.
8. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
dwell in our graced, baptized soul.
9. Sing: Come Holy Ghost
10. Sing: A
Priest is a Gift from God!!
These are the
mysteries of light.
The Transfiguration
1.
2 Peter 1:16-19
When we told you
about the power and the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly
repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we
had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He
was honoured and glorified by God the
Father, when a voice came to him from the
transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the
Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves
heard this voice from heaven, when we were
with him on the holy mountain.
So we have confirmation of the words of the
prophets; and you will be right to pay
attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a
way through the dark, until the dawn comes
and the morning star rises in your minds.
2. The Father says:
"Listen to Him."
3. Jesus came to teach us.
4. Jesus is the way, the truth and
the life.
5. Do we listen to Jesus?
6. Do we obey the Commandments?
7. The world belongs to Christ.
8. We are to promote the cause of
Christ.
9. Come to me Lord and possess my
soul.
10. These are the mysteries of Light!!!!
The Institution of the Eucharist
1.
Matthew 26: 26-29
Now as they were
eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the
blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples.
‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then
he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he
handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of
you, for this is my blood, the blood of the
covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of
sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again
drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with
you in the kingdom of my Father.’
2. 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
