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.

 

 

              

                July 30, 2017

                R. Prayer is the lifting of the mind and
                heart to God.

                    We have been taught in Catholic
                schools in Church to examine
                our conscience from an early age.

                    We examine our conscience about
                the 10 Commandments.
 

The Ten Commandments

  1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
  2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
  3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
  4. Honor your father and your mother.
  5. You shall not kill.
  6. You shall not commit adultery.
  7. You shall not steal.
  8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
  10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

  

                R. Our consciences are to be formed
                according to the commandments of
                God.

                    The greatest commandment is –

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.'

   

                R. In the Jesuits Fr. Carter said he examined
                his conscience 10 minutes twice
                a day. In that time he took his
                spiritual pulse – was he doing
                God's will, was he deviating
                from God's will and did he need
                to pray for grace to put himself
                back on tract. Had he hurt others
                intentionally – Examining one's
                conscience for the deadly sins,
                pride, anger, envy, jealousy,
                lustfulness, gluttony, slothfulness.
                We cannot do what we want to
                do – we are to obey God – obey
                the commandments of God.

                    Fr. Joe said that people who are
                abused like to nurse anger –
                hold out in anger. Fr. Joe said
                this is a sin – they are to pray
                for the grace to stop this angry
                way they are behaving.

                    Fr. Mike said they are acting –
                out their anger from the past –

                    Fr. Joe said people sexually abused
                and physically abused many
                times nurse anger acting it
                out – they need help – they need
                to be healed – not live in
                punishing others for 40 years
                if they find a victim they can
                act out their anger on.

                    Heaven is a reward for those
                who loved and served the Lord –
                We are accountable and responsible
                for our actions.

                    Fr. Carter says this about sin –
 

        Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
 

The Christian and Sin

                        1) The Nature of Sin

"What is the nature of sin? Contemporary theology emphasizes that sin is not primarily a violation of a law, but a disruption of personal relationships. Sin is a refusal to love. Serious sin is a radical refusal to love. Venial sin is a partial refusal to love. ... Sin, then, because it is a failure to love God, man and the world, is selfishness. ... Sin is primarily a refusal to love God, a refusal to be loved by Him, to be guided by Him."

 

                R. Our conscience is to help us see that we
                are doing wrong. We are to examine
                our conscience every day and
                say the Act of Contrition –
 

Act of Contrition

"O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen."

  

                R. Our conscience helps us every day.
                We are to obey our conscience when
                it tells us we are lying, hating –
                holding out anger in revenge
                against our brothers when
                God commands us to love our
                brothers as ourselves.

                    We are not to steal from others.
                We are not to use our position
                over others to abuse others
                so we can punish them for our
                anger and lie about the truth
                tell people to hide things from
                authority, seek power because
                of loss of power from sexual
                abuse or physical abuse as a
                child.

                    God is joy. Jesus is the
                Light of the world. A person
                that refuses direction and
                correction from just authority –
                says this to God and others
                "I will do what I want"
                and they can further use the
                organization by punishing
                others to force their dysfunction
                on the organization.

                    Learning to steal and punish
                to get your way and do what
                you want is wrong.

                    When a person sins they are
                told by their conscience it is
                wrong and they have offended
                God and need to ask for forgiveness
                and mercy –

                    A person who refuses to examine
                their conscience daily, weekly,
                yearly can convince themselves
                they can do what they want –
                This can lead to lying, punishing,
                stealing to get their own way.

                    We should know what is
                good and bad and have a well
                informed conscience to tell
                us what is good or bad.
                We still have a free will to
                ignore our conscience,
                ignore what is bad and
                sin doing what offends God.

                    We have choices. Our conscience
                helps us see if we want to do
                good or evil, if we are
                following the commandments of God,
                if we are living by the scriptures,
                if we are following the teachings
                of the Church.

                    We are to form a good conscience
                so we will make the right
                choices.

                God created us to know, love
                and serve Him and He gave
                us commandments to obey. They are
                His laws and they are commandments
                we are commanded by God to obey –
                lying is a sin – deceiving people we
                are supposed to tell the truth –
                starting fights to hurt others,
                argue with others for excitement
                and power and attention. These
                things are wrong in daily life –
                to provoke and manipulate others –
                passively-aggressively to sabotage
                events – then lie about the part
                they played to block what was
                to happen - is sinful.

                    God gives us the commandments
                to help us – the first 3 are concerning
                our love of God; 4 thru 7 our
                love and relationship with our neighbor.

                    We are to form a good conscience
                knowing the commandments and
                teachings of the Church.

                    Our conscience calls us to
                love God and love our neighbor
                and to do good. Our conscience
                tells us not to sin – sin turns
                us away from God.

                    We are to examine our conscience
                regularly and go to confession –
                At the beginning of every Mass
                we are to tell God we are sorry
                for our sins.

                    How have you chose to love
                God and neighbor in your
                choices today – Everyone is
                to make an act of contrition daily and
                examine their conscience.

136. THE FOURTH DAY

        A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS

The one of Christ, our supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature

PRAYER.   The usual preparatory prayer.

window at a former Jesuit Seminary

137. FIRST PRELUDE.   This is the history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.

138. SECOND PRELUDE.   This is a mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.

139. THIRD PRELUDE.   This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.
   

FIRST PART

THE STANDARD OF SATAN

140. FIRST POINT.   Imagine you see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror.

141. SECOND POINT.   Consider how he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.

142. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride.

   The first step, then, will be riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one leads to all other vices.
   

SECOND PART

THE STANDARD OF CHRIST

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)

11. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN  Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.3-4.

July 13, 1917

THE CHILDREN SEE HELL

    As she spoke these words, Our Lady stretched out her hands, and bright rays came forth which seemed to penetrate into the earth. All at once the ground vanished, and the children found themselves standing on the brink of a sea of fire. As they peered into this dreadful place, the terrified youngsters saw huge numbers of devils and damned souls. The devils resembled hideous black animals, each filling the air with despairing shrieks. The damned souls were in their human bodies and seemed to be brown in color, tumbling about constantly in the flames and screaming with terror. All were on fire within and without their bodies, and neither devils nor damned souls seemed able to control their movements. They were tossing about in the flames like fiery coals in a furnace. There was never an instant's peace or freedom from pain.

23 Years Ago

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

 

                R. Doing good should be the sufficient
                    reward in itself.

                Opening a door to temptation and
                    sin allows the devil to
                    work more and more on us.

                God told Cain satan was
                lurking at his door but he
                could be Master over him –
                Cain gave in and killed Abel –
                    he did not listen to God.

                Premeditated sin is a worse sin –
                hugging, entertaining anger against
                one's brother for an extended period
                is wrong –

                God commands us to love Him and love
                    our neighbor.

                Anger, envy, wickedness in one's
                    heart against their neighbor
                    is sinful.

                    The Eucharist is the summit of the
                Church's life, Jesus shed His Blood
                for our sins –

                    How evil to parade in front of
                God and hate and be angry at
                our neighbor and then act like
                God doesn't even see it and try
                to prove we are right when we
                are punishing our innocent brother
                for our anger.

                    Cain acted in murder toward Abel –
                Then the soul can have vengeance
                uninhibited revenge, arrogance,
                impudence and pride toward
                their brother –

                    Adam and Eve sinned – they wanted
                to be equal to God. DISORDER!
                God wants a pure heart – not
                a wicked, deceitful heart.

                From Fr. Carter

                    (1) We are here to respond to God's love.
                    (2) Participate in God's life from baptism.
                    (3) Our human nature is elevated.
                    (4) We live the Christ Life.
                    (5) We live in the Holy Spirit.
                    (6) Mary is our Mother at our side.
                            (our model)

                We live the pascal mystery
                    Death/Resurrection

                We live the Word in our hearts.

                We develop more supernaturally
                    in the Christian Virtues.

                We are members of the Mystical
                    Body of Christ.

                We are united to the Mass all day.

                We are involved with the
                    world community.

                We pray –

                We are growing in the Mystery
                    of God's love –

                We live more in the Divine
                    Mysteries –

                People sin many times St. Ignatius
                    says because of
                    power, wealth and pride.

                Because of original sin we
                    have distorted vision –
                    we see ourselves, God and
                    others distortedly –

                God calls us to love Him and
                    love others – BE other centered –

                Putting on the mind of Christ
                    is dying to selfishness –
                    self-centeredness

                If a person is permanently
                    holding out in anger
                    against an innocent
                    brother how can they
                    go to the altar with such
                    hatred and anger.

 

Matthew 5: 23-24

So then, if you are bringing your offering to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar, go and be reconciled with your brother first, and then come back and present your offering.

 

                R. Death / Resurrection

                    Dying to self will – living
                        loving God's will like Mary
                        perfect handmaid of God.

                Beginning of Mass

                    Sorrow for sin –
                    Prepare to be a pure victim
                        with Christ.

                United in the heart
                Interior disposition
                Living faith, hope and love –

                NOT jealousy, anger, envy,
                    pride, lust, gluttony
                    and slothfulness.

                Going to Mass –
                    Love affair with God
                    Thanksgiving
                    Reparation
                    Love
                    Satisfaction for sin

                Interior Disposition – putting
                    on the mind of Jesus Christ –

                The demons hate God
                The demons hate creatures
                The demons hate each other
                The demons hate us.

                Demons want to spoil God's work –
                They want to take souls to hell –

 

John 8: 44

You are from your father, the devil,
and you prefer to do
what your father wants.
He was a murderer from the start;
he was never grounded in the truth;
there is no truth in him at all.
When he lies
he is speaking true to his nature,
because he is a liar, and the father of lies.

 

                R. Christ said of satan
                    "He was a murderer from the beginning"

                Solomon had wisdom and did bad
                    things –

                Demons are intelligent!

                Demons have wonderful intellects
                    SMART

                Demons know how to test men –
                    they watch men

                Satan is a pro –

                Satan has been working for
                    centuries to get men to
                    sin – since Adam and Eve

                Man's life is short-lived!

                EVIL SPIRITS are WICKED!

                God permits the devil to test us!

                God wants to know if we are loyal –

                To one much is given –
                    much is expected –

                Satan sees imagination and memory!

                The devil knows our wickedness – our
                    weaknesses – he watches
                    our actions and works on that.

 

1 Peter 5: 8-9

 Keep sober and alert, because your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand up to him, strong in faith and in the knowledge that it is the same kind of suffering that the community of your brothers throughout the world is undergoing.

 

                R. The Interior Disposition is
                    major at Mass – it is
                    to be pure.

                Satan is the father of lies.

 

John 8: 44

You are from your father, the devil,
and you prefer to do
what your father wants.
He was a murderer from the start;
he was never grounded in the truth;
there is no truth in him at all.
When he lies
he is speaking true to his nature,
because he is a liar, and the father of lies.

 

                R. When satan tells a lie –
                    he is speaking as satan does –
                    A LIAR –

                God commands us 

                    The 8th commandment is

8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical 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 Litugical 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 Litugical 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 Litugical 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
