The Sacred Heart of Jesus & Conclusion of the Year For Priests
Consecration Prayer - To the Sacred Heart of Jesus
I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other than to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart.
This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him.
I therefore take You,O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.
Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger.
O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.
Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You.
May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart,for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory,
living and dying in bondage to You.
Amen.
Prayer to The Wounded Heart of Jesus
Beads to The Sacred Heart
The Language of Love
"O Trinity, eternal Trinity! Fire, abyss of love ...
Was it necessary that you should give
Even the Holy Trinity as food for souls? ...
You gave us not only your Word
Through the Redemption and in the Eucharist,
But you also gave yourself
In the fullness of love for your creature!"

COME, HOLY SPIRIT, COME!
Father Mark Kirby's - Posts - Spiritus Domini replevit orbem terrarum Whitsunday & A Sacerdotal Pentecost
Holy Spirit Prayers
Come Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary your well beloved spouse.
O Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore You. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me. Tell me what I should do; give me Your orders. I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me and to accept all that You permit to happen to me. Let me only know Your Will. Amen.
~Cardinal Mercier
Come Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, come into my heart; draw it to Thee by Thy power, O my God, and grant me charity with filial fear. Preserve me, O ineffable Love, from every evil thought; warm me, inflame me with Thy dear love, and every pain will seem light to me. My Father, my sweet Lord, help me in all my actions.
Jesus, love, Jesus, love, St. Catherine of Siena.
Prayer of Consecration to the Holy Spirit
O Holy Ghost, divine Spirit of light and love, I consecrate to Thee my intellect, my heart, my will and my whole being for time and for eternity.
May my intellect be ever docile to Thy heavenly inspirations and to the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church of which Thou art the infallible Guide. May my heart be ever inflamed with the love of God and my neighbour; may my will be ever in conformity with the divine will, and may my whole life be a faithful imitation of the life and virtues of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to whom, with the Father and thee, Holy Spirit, be honour and glory for ever. Amen.
(Indulgence of 300 days once a day, applicable to the souls in Purgatory -- Pius X. This consecration may be renewed by repeating only the first paragraph of the form.)

"We are pleased to announce that Catholic Democrats's board member, James Roosevelt, Jr., and president, Dr. Patrick Whelan, will be presenting on two timely panels at this conference.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Dialog of Catherine Siena
A TREATISE OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE
How the desire of this soul grew when God showed her the neediness of the world.
This desire was great and continuous, but grew much more, when the First Truth showed her the neediness of the world, and in what a tempest of offense against God it lay. And she had understood this the better from a letter, which she had received from the spiritual Father of her soul, in which he explained to her the penalties and intolerable dolor caused by offenses against God, and the loss of souls, and the persecutions of Holy Church.

An Open Letter to Mr. Bill O'Reilly - Al Sharpton & Socialism
Mr. O'Reilly,
During your segment with Mr. Goldberg, you claimed the 'far right' was very 'stirred-up' today...as in-way over the edge...and talk radio was 'there' too (paraphrasing). I believe there is enough evidence to support that feeling/opinion.
There are many concerned citizens in this country who have family members that fought and died for this country and are watching it being over-thrown right before their very eyes and ears.
Does this revealing info. not upset you?
And, if I might remind you....YOU sir, are an 'ENTERTAINER' too!
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." -- French economist, statesman and author Frederic Bastiast (1801-1850)

- "First of all, then we have to say the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama," Sharpton said. "Let's not act as though the president didn't tell the American people - the president offered the American people health reform when he ran. He was overwhelmingly elected running on that and he has delivered what he promised."
- "I don't understand Republicans saying this is against the will of the American people," Sharpton said. "They voted for President Obama who said this was going to be one of the first things he would do and he has done the first hurdle of that tonight. So I think the American people was very loud and clear. This was not some concept the president introduced after he won. He ran on this and the American people won tonight because they got finally something from a president they voted for."
Does this revealing info. not upset you?
And, if I might remind you....YOU sir, are an 'ENTERTAINER' too!
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." -- French economist, statesman and author Frederic Bastiast (1801-1850)

Dan Schutte's Mass of Christ the Savior Chosen for OCP Missals and Hymnals
"For me it moves my soul to imagine that every time we celebrate Mass, it is Christ the Savior who stands there to pray with us, sing with us, proclaim the scripture with us, give thanks with us, and finally, share the meal of his own body and blood with us," says Schutte. "The title Mass of Christ the Savior seemed most appropriate.
"The same image affected the way I approached the actual writing of the music. I wanted the music to be accessible to the Body of Christ gathered for worship. I wanted the beauty of the music to lift their hearts. I wanted the melodies to quickly and easily become like an old friend. I wanted the wedding of text and music to help people through the process of getting used to this new translation."

Life in these United States...
We know who the players are and we will continue to keep moving forward...with our eyes on and our hope and trust in OUR LORD; making sure that we have a deep love and close relationship with HIM! HE will guide those that are HIS own (John 10)... HE gives them all that they need and have no worries. Matthew 6:25-34
Spiritual Revival
STAY IN A STATE OF GRACE - (The Sacraments - Confession & Reception of the Holy Eucharist)---without attachments to sin!! Read HIS LIVING WORD!!! HE IS THE WORD...
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. John 1:14
And please know: building and 'maintaining' virtue - (The Sacraments - Confession & the Reception of the Holy Eucharist) REMOVES VICE!
On a good note:
Right now, AL, Attorney General, Troy King is filing a law suit...joining other AGs from around the country in a lawsuit against the Health Care and will be going to DC tomorrow (it's not on the internet,yet).
Spiritual Revival
GOD applies HIS justice upon all people! Do not worry.For effective intercession, one must start with oneself. When the evangelist Gypsy Smith was asked how to start a spiritual revival, he gave a quaint answer: "Go home, lock yourself in your room, and kneel down in the middle of the floor. Draw a chalk mark around yourself, and ask God to start a revival inside that chalk circle. When he has answered your prayer, the revival will be on its way." Torrey's suggestion was similar: Get a few Christians who are close to God to bind themselves together in prayer and put themselves at the disposal of God. This is sure to bring conversions. I have given this prescription around the world and have never seen it fail." To bring back lost sheep, God needs not just intercessors, but truly holy intercessors: "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. John 1:14
- Ask HIM what is HIS Will for your life
- Ask HIM for grace
- Ask HIM for all the gifts of The Holy Spirit
- Start at HOME -know, love, and serve HIM, love yourself, your family, and others! Make changes in your life and stick to them every single day
- Be committed to grow virtue instead of VICE
- PRAY DAILY

PRAYER ALERT! PRAYER OVER HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION
Please pray!
See the Morning Readings for today:
PSALM 7
From Magnificat (they now have an app for iphones too):
(From a Morning Prayer Letter)
PRAYER OVER HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION
Father, In Jesus' Most Holy and Precious Name, we humbly ask that You step in and intervene at this most critical juncture in our nation's history.
Father, it was YOU who gave our Founding Fathers the wisdom and guidance to assert that our nation would be one nation under GOD, with liberty and justice for all. Our nation's founding documents state that it is from YOU that we receive the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness NOT our federal government.
Father, please stop this healthcare legislation dead in its tracks. Please frustrate the plotting of the shrewd who seek to alter our nation into a socialist democracy so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise or attain success. (Job 5:12-13).
Expose to the light of day the plans of the crafty.
Allow confusion and chaos to reign in their meetings this weekend and into next week so that no path to reconciliation may be achieved. Please allow division and rivalry to thwart the plans of those who seek to override the will of the citizens of the United States so that this entire endeavor fails in utter futility.
Please awaken our citizenry to what is at stake.
Father, we also humbly ask that you will bring good out of this terrible situation. Please graciously use this whole experience to draw people to Yourself. In Jesus' name we pray for revival to spread across our land and to heal our nation so that we once again seek our liberty from You and not from a government of men.
Thank you for graciously hearing our prayers on behalf of our nation and our fellow citizens.
In Jesus' Most Holy & Powerful Name We Pray. Amen!!
Please agree in prayer, and pass on!

God takes an odd vengeance on Jesus' human enemies: he offers them eternal life, if only they will hear and see the truth of the one they pursue with such anger.

USCCB - Response to 'NETWORK' Letter on Health Care
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Clarification
Washington—A recent letter from Network, a social justice lobby of sisters, grossly overstated whom they represent in a letter to Congress that was also released to media.
Network’s letter, about health care reform, was signed by a few dozen people, and despite what Network said, they do not come anywhere near representing 59,000 American sisters.
The letter had 55 signatories, some individuals, some groups of three to five persons. One endorser signed twice.
There are 793 religious communities in the United States.
The math is clear. Network is far off the mark.
