Dedication
To Our Lady of Guadalupe whose virginal blood mingled with the most Precious Blood of her Holy Son during her divine gestation. May her powerful prayers save all the unborn from the holocaust of abortion and assist us in the rapid spread of this devotion to all her children in the world in order to save as many souls as possible from the destructive power of the evil one.
And to our beloved Pope John Paul II, of blessed memory, who warned us of the coming trials during his pontificate. Help us with your prayers to teach this devotion to the whole world before the fearful hour comes. Please intercede for us, for the safety of the Church and her people.
On Promoting Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ An Apostolic Letter from Blessed Pope John XXIII
June 30, 1960
Unlimited is the effectiveness of the God- Man’s Blood – just as unlimited as the love that impelled him to pour it out for us, first at his circumcision eight days after birth, and more profusely later on in his agony in the garden, in his scourging and crowning with thorns, in his climb to Calvary and crucifixion, and finally from out of that great wide wound in his side which symbolizes the divine Blood cascading down into all the Church’s sacraments. Such surpassing love suggests, nay demands, that everyone reborn in the torrents of that Blood adore it with grateful love.
The Blood of the new and eternal covenant especially deserves this worship of latria when it is elevated during the sacrifice of the Mass. But such worship achieves its normal fulfillment in sacramental communion with the same Blood, indissolubly united with Christ’s Eucharistic Body. In intimate association with the celebrant, the faithful can then truly make his sentiments at communion their own: “I will take the chalice of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. . . The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul for everlasting life. Amen.” Thus as often as they come worthily to this holy table they will receive more abundant fruits of the redemption and resurrection and eternal life won for all men by the Blood Christ shed “through the Holy Spirit.” Nourished by his Body and Blood, sharing the divine strength that has sustained countless martyrs, they will stand up to the slings and arrows of each day’s fortunes – even if need be to martyrdom itself for the sake of Christian virtue and the kingdom of God. Theirs will be the experience of that
burning love which made St. John Chrysostom cry out, “Let us, then, come back from that table like lions breathing out fire, thus becoming terrifying to the Devil, and remaining mindful of our Head and of the love he has shown for us. . . This Blood, when worthily received, drives away demons and puts them at a distance from us, and even summons to us angels and the Lord of angels. . . This Blood, poured out in abundance, has washed the whole world clean. . . This is the price of the world;
by it Christ purchased the Church… This
thought will check in us unruly passions. How long, in truth, shall we be attached to present things? How long shall we remain asleep? How long shall we not take thought
for our own salvation? Let us remember what privileges God has bestowed on us, let us give thanks, let us glorify him, not only by faith, but also by our very works.”
You know well enough that your ransom was not paid in earthly currency, silver or gold; it was paid in the Precious Blood of Christ; no lamb was ever so pure, so spotless a victim. If only they would lend a more eager ear to the apostle of the Gentiles: “A great price was paid to ransom you; glorify God by making your bodies the shrines of his presence.” Their upright lives would then be the shining example they ought to be; Christ’s Church would far more effectively fulfill its mission to men. God wants all men to be saved, for he has willed that they should all be ransomed by the Blood of his only-begotten Son; he calls them all to be members of the one Mystical Body whose head is Christ. If only men would be more responsive to these promptings of his grace, how much the bonds of brotherly love among individuals and peoples and nations would be strengthened.
HOW TO PRAY THIS DEVOTION
HIS is the Devotion to the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ as given by Our Lord and Our Lady and a multitude of angels and saints
to a nearly illiterate Nigerian teenage boy, Barnabas Nwoye, in the village of Olo, Enugu State, Nigeria, from 1995 – 2003. Our Lord told young Barnabas this is the greatest devotion He has ever given the Church and the last one He will give in this age. This is the ark that will protect and bring the Holy Catholic Church, the remnant faithful and all those you love and pray for safely through the bitter trials of the coming chastisement and into the promised Era of Peace.
There are three main parts to this devotion:
(1) The Daily Devotion – The minimum daily prayers for a devotee are:
1. One Mystery of the Rosary (Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful or Glorious)
2. Chaplet of the Precious Blood
3. Litany of the Precious Blood
4. Consecration to the Precious Blood
5. Any other prayers from the Full Daily Devotion that you can add into your day without neglecting your duties to your family or work. (see page 18)
Pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance in finding the proper balance of prayer, work and family commitment for your particular situation in life. Begin to discard frivolous activities and replace them with silence and prayer. The wise advice of a competent spiritual director is a great blessing for anyone who desires to reach a higher state of perfection in this life and is strongly recommended.
(2) The Gethsemane Hours – Every Thursday night from 11pm to Friday morning at 3am are the Gethsemane Hours. These are the actual hours Our Lord suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane. It is best to pray these hours in the presence of Our Lord in exposition or before the tabernacle. If you are not blessed with a local church or chapel open at this hour,
there are internet sites with live images of Our Eucharistic Lord in exposition you can visit, or, you can set up a sacred place or altar with a crucifix, image of Christ, crown of thorns, candle, etc. It is best to pray in groups of two or more, but not necessary. If only the minimum of one hour is possible for you, Our Lord requests it between midnight and 3am on Friday. Our Lord has given the prayers below for the full four hour observance. For less than this, we recommend you pray one or more complete sets of prayers each week (all the Anguished Appeals or all the Adoration Prayers, etc.) until you have prayed them all, then begin again.
1. All four mysteries of the Rosary (Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious)
2. Chaplet of the Precious Blood
3. Litany of the Precious Blood
4. Consecration to the Precious Blood
5. Consolation Prayers
6. Adoration Prayers
7. The Anguished Appeals
8. The Mystical Prayers
9. Votive Mass of the Precious Blood and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, where available.
It is suggested you take a nap of as many hours as possible before you begin so you may not fall asleep during these powerful hours of prayer as the Apostles did, but remain alert and awake to console Our Lord and adore His Most Precious Blood.
(3) The Great Month of July – Every July (and also the Third Friday of every month), the Church honors the Precious Blood of Our Lord. During the Great Month of July, Our Lord has given us three very important periods of prayer:
1. July 1-9, Novena of the Precious Blood in honor of the Nine Choirs of Angels
2. July 13-15, Three days of prayer in honor of the Most Holy Trinity
3. July 20-31, Twelve days of prayer for the New Israel
You are to offer the following prayers, during each period indicated, in place of your usual Daily Devotion:
1. The Rosary (all four mysteries if possible, but a minimum of one is required)
2. Chaplet of the Precious Blood
3. Litany of the Precious Blood
4. Consecration to the Precious Blood
5. Consolation Prayers
6. Adoration Prayers
7. The Anguished Appeals
8. The Mystical Prayers
All three periods of prayer are required to be fully observed every year by all those who are consecrated to the Precious Blood and by all those preparing for their consecration. During the month of July, on the days between the periods of prayer mentioned above, you may either return to the Daily Devotion prayers or continue the novena prayers as an additional offering to our Lord.
During the Great Month of July, the Gethsemane
Hours continue every Thursday night. In the beginning, a devotee may apply some or all of the prayers of the Gethsemane Hours as their Thursday or Friday Daily Devotion or July Novena. For example, you may pray the minimum Daily Devotion with only one Rosary on Thursday day, then continue with the rest of the prayers during your Gethsemane Hours that night, and offer this all as your Thursday Daily Devotion or Thursday July Novena.
You may also pray either the minimum or full Daily Devotion or July Novena on Thursday day, then all the Gethsemane Hour prayers that night, and offer the Gethsemane Hour prayers as your Friday Daily Devotion or Friday July Novena.
The prayers may be prayed in any order with the exception of the Chaplet which must immediately follow the Rosary. You do not have to pray all the prayers at one sitting. You may offer them little by little throughout your day.
As you mature in this life of prayer, and as time permits in your personal schedule, you may eventually be able to pray the Getsemane Hour prayers in addition to your daily prayers of Thursday and Friday. As Fr. Evaristus Eshiowu once stated, “He who is hungry, eats more.”
(4) Third Friday Reparation – Our Lord told Barnabas that much of the chastisement could be avoided if enough people would come together in churches and offer this day of prayer in reparation for the sins committed against the Eucharist and His Precious Blood throughout the world.
(5) September 14th, Triumph of the Cross- This is a great celebration in this devotion and is offered in all solemnity with candlelight and song. We look forward to the day when the Triumph of the Holy Cross will become the first day of the Glorious Reign of Peace.
Consecration to the Precious Blood – After you have prayed the three main parts of this devotion for five consecutive months and
have reflected deeply on making a life-long commitment to the prayers as indicated, then if you feel called, you may present yourself to become consecrated to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Any priest can perform the consecration. The details can be found in our upcoming book The Complete Devotion to the Precious Blood or on our website at http://www.PreciousBloodInternational.com or by contacting us. (see page 2)
One year after your consecration, you may begin a series of retreats and studies designed to teach you how to practice the virtues to a heroic degree. By studying Our Lord’s teachings carefully and applying them to your daily life, you will quickly grow in holiness. On your third anniversary, you may renew your consecration and receive the Rose of Perfect Purity. This can be repeated every three years.
If family duties or poor health prevent you from making this commitment, you can join our spiritual prayer association, The Little Lambs of His Most Precious Blood. You may
do this by offering whatever prayers you can with your daily sufferings to Our Crucified Lord through His Mother’s Sorrowful Heart at the foot of the Cross, in union with all the Little Lambs of His Most Precious Blood throughout the world. Offer it all for the work of the Association of the Precious Blood in the world; which is the salvation of souls, the sanctification and needs of all priests and the spread of this devotion around the world. We offer a Mass on the Third Friday of each month for the personal intentions of each member as well as remember them fondly in our daily Masses, prayers and adoration.

CONSECRATION TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
Conscious, merciful Savior, of my nothingness and of Thy sublimity, I cast myself at Thy feet and thank Thee for the many proofs of Thy grace shown unto me, Thy ungrateful creature. I thank Thee especially for delivering me by Thy Precious Blood from the destructive power of Satan. In the presence of my dear Mother Mary, my guardian angel, my patron saint, and of the whole company of heaven, I dedicate myself voluntarily with a sincere heart, O dearest Jesus, to Thy Precious Blood, by which Thou hast redeemed the world from sin, death and hell. I promise Thee, with the help of Thy grace and to the utmost of my strength to stir up and foster devotion to Thy Precious Blood, the price of our redemption, so that Thy adorable Blood may be honored and glorified by all. In this way, I wish to make reparation for my disloyalty towards Thy Precious Blood of love, and to make satisfaction to Thee for the many profanations which men commit against that precious price of their salvation. O would that my own sins, my coldness, and all the acts of disrespect
46
I have ever committed against Thee, O Holy Precious Blood, could be undone. Behold, O dearest Jesus, I offer to Thee the love, honor and adoration, which Thy most Holy Mother, Thy faithful disciples and all the saints have offered to Thy Precious Blood. I ask Thee to forget my earlier faithlessness and coldness, and to forgive all who offend Thee. Sprinkle me, O Divine Savior, and all men with Thy Precious Blood, so that we, O Crucified Love, may love Thee from now on with all our hearts, and worthily honor the price of our salvation. Amen.
We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious
and blessed Virgin. Amen.
CONSOLATION PRAYERS
To the Agonizing Jesus Christ
(23 June 1997)
(1) PRAYER: Eternal Father, when You were about to send Your only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, into the world with the aim of saving us and bringing a new paradise into the world through the most Precious Blood, out of love You said, “Whom shall I send? Who will go to redeem My people?” The heavenly court was silent until Your Son answered, “Here I am, send Me Father.”
Honor and adoration be unto You O Divine Love. Praise and worship be unto Your name, O loving Jesus Christ. Take consolation, O Agonizing Jesus Christ, the reward You received from Your people for Your benevolence was sin. They sinned and blasphemed day and night against Your Holy Name. They fought against You and disobeyed Your commandments.
Father, be comforted through the voice of Your heavenly choirs. May the voice of Your Dominions console You. Amen.
Our Father*…Hail Mary*…Glory Be*…

Hymn
Be consoled O Jesus Christ Our Lord. Your Precious Blood, shed for us all, Will never be in vain we pray.
(2) PRAYER: Eternal Father, You prepared a holy tabernacle, the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, for Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Blessed be the womb which bore the only Son of God.
Father, Your begotten Son was born in Bethlehem and laid in a manger because there was no room in the inn for Him and His parents. It was so that the world will seek the Kingdom of Heaven rather than the perishable wealth of this world.
Father, this indicated that Your own people were not ready to welcome their King, Redeemer and
Creator. There was no room for the King of heaven and earth in His own land.
Lord, You came to Your own people and they did not recognize You. As a King, You came to your own country and they did not know You. When they heard of You they planned for Your death. With that plan, they killed numerous children. A bitter cry and lamentation was echoing in Your land as a welcome for the King. Women refused to be comforted because their children were dead.
Jesus, You bore all these things for the love You have for Your people. But Your people continued sinning and doing all kinds of evil against You and Your Heavenly Father. As a King, they regarded You as their enemy. As a Redeemer, You were a predator to Your own people, whom You saved. Who will, in remembering Your mercy and kindness to Your people, console You enough?
Take consolation. Be comforted, O loving Jesus Christ. May the voice of Your heavenly choirs of angels and archangels praise You and console You. Amen.
Our Father*…Hail Mary*…Glory Be*…
Agonizing Jesus Christ Bear it Lord

Calm the heat of Your anger O Lord.
We are sorry, we all have sinned, We will never sin again.
(3) PRAYER: O loving Jesus Christ, You, Who came into the world to redeem Your people from sin. Oh, the Chief Shepherd Who was treated badly and scornfully by His flock. You came and saw Your people defiling the Holy Temple of Your Father. In your fury, You chased them out of the Holy Temple. But today, men are becoming most carnal by neglecting Your presence in the Holy Tabernacle.
We console You for the sins men commit against You in the Holy Tabernacle, for the coldness and neglect which they show in Your presence, for those who receive You unworthily, and for all
the acts of disrespect which men commit against You. Forgive, pardon, O loving Jesus Christ.
Although men crucify You again and again, in Your great mercy bear all these insults from Your loving creatures. O merciful Jesus Christ, accept our consolation, we pray You, and have mercy on Your people. May the voice of the heavenly Virtues console You. Amen.

(4) PRAYER: O merciful and loving Jesus Christ, You suffered sorrowfully and fearfully in the Garden of Gethsemane. Thus You said, “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death.” We
console Your Sacred Heart which bears much pain. You suffered scourging at the pillar and crowning with thorns for us to be reconciled with God. Nevertheless, many innocent souls are being aborted daily and their cries wound Your Sacred Heart. We pray You to forgive men all their trespasses.
May the voices of the heavenly Cherubim and Seraphim console You, and may the tone of the evangelization of this world comfort You. Amen.

THE ANGUISHED APPEALS
Reparation Prayers to the Agonizing Jesus Christ (10 December 1998)
Lord Jesus Christ, throughout history You are leading us back to the Almighty Father. We are immensely grateful. We appreciate Your love. We remember with heartfelt sorrow, our weaknesses, sins, and all Your suffering in this noble task. Can we lessen it? We pray You, help us to do it by our style of life. Henceforth, we shall do whatever is required if only You will it. Show us more love by willing it. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
Eternal Father, I offer to You all the wounds of Your dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ; the pains and agony of His Sacred Heart and His most Precious Blood, which gushed out from all His wounds, for the reparation of my sins and those of the whole world. Amen. (3 times)
Apostle’s Creed*… (Brief silence)…
THE FIRST ANGUISHED APPEAL
Where are you, My son? Your Master is looking for you. Come to me! Come nearer and hear My agonizing appeal.
My son, there once was a Man who had many sheep. He looked after them and shepherded them well. Whenever they were thirsty, He led them to a spring of flowing water to satisfy their thirst. He did not allow them to feel hungry. He led them to a beautiful green pasture. They ate and grew fat and strong. The Man fortified the pasture land so that no wolf would enter to harm the flock.
One day, the sheep planned a rebellion and forcefully escaped from the camp and entered the forest of wild animals. There they were captured by the wild animals. They were like slaves without hope. Their bodies and blood were used for festivals and animal sacrifices to their gods. Nevertheless, the Man did not forget His flock. He sent all His servants and they were
killed. Lastly, He sent His Son Who eventually won the battle.
The Son of Man led the flock shepherdly day and night in the wilderness. On their way out from the wilderness, they underwent many difficulties which they could not withstand. They complained to the Son of Man, uttered all kinds of cruel words against Him, and finally killed Him. Son, when the Father of the Son of Man hears about the death of His Son, what do you think He will do?
(Silence)
My son, you and your people are the flock. My Father is the owner of the flock Who sent many prophets to His people who are living in this terrifying wilderness. I am the Son Whom you persecuted and killed. What have I done to you? Despite all your sinful acts, My Father is still calling you to return to Him, but you pay no attention to His call. RETURN! O Israel My people! Make reparation for the sins you and the whole world commit against
My Father and against My Precious Blood. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ.
(Silence)
My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You. Only You I will adore forever. With true repentance and love, I fall prostrate at Your feet; I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe and do not want to believe, those who do not adore and do not want to adore, and those who crucified You and are crucifying You daily. Dear Jesus, I will console You all my life. Amen.
O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and by the help of Your grace, I will not sin again. Amen.

Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, When You called us, we knew nothing,
Forgive us we pray O Lord.
O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I offer You the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ; His flesh covered with wounds and blood, His agony in the garden, His scourging, His crowning with thorns, His rejection, His condemnation, His crucifixion and death, along with all the sufferings of Your Holy Church and the blood of martyrs, in reparation for my sins and those of the whole world. Amen.
Agonizing Jesus, I offer You my heart to be united with Your Agonizing Heart as a co- bearer of Your agony. Jesus, I wish to be in agony with You so as to hasten Your Glorious Reign of Peace. Amen.
SECOND ANGUISHED APPEAL
My son, come closer to Me, hear My anguished appeal. For love of you, I offer My Body as a living sacrifice – a Bread of Life for all men. My Blood is a precious drink – the drink of heavenly angels lovingly given to men.
My son, I remain for you in the Sacrament of Love waiting for you patiently in the tabernacle where I am in prison for you. You rarely approach Me because you do not remember Me, who am in prison for you. My son, My agony is great when I see the coldness, the mindlessness and neglect with which you approach the Holy Trinity Whose presence fills the Holy Sanctuary. I am here, my son. I am here in fullness. Fear the presence of your God, approach with respect and awe.
My son, do you know what I suffer whenever I enter the sanctuary of your heart through Holy Communion? Your sins tie me up and beat Me mercilessly. In your heart there is no one to console Me. After callously scourging
Me, you drag Me away and lock up the door of your heart with iniquity. This is what you do to Me with your sinful life. I am the Bread of Life for all men who receive Me in a state of sanctity. I come to give you life not death. Cleanse the iniquities of your heart. Open the door of your heart for Me. Make your heart a tabernacle of consolation for Me. Son, may I live in your sanctuary from one Communion to the other. Welcome Me, welcome Me, My son. All who welcome Me, welcome My Father and the Holy Spirit Who live in Me. All who reject Me, reject the Holy Trinity. Son, even if others will reject Me, make your heart a tabernacle of My consolation. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ, calling you to RETURN.
(Silence)
My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You. Only You I will adore forever. With true repentance and love, I fall prostrate at Your feet; I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe and do not want to believe, those who do not adore and do not want to adore, and those who
crucified You and are crucifying You daily. Dear Jesus, I will console You all my life. Amen.
O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and by the help of Your grace, I will not sin again. Amen.

THIRD ANGUISHED APPEAL
My son, I am in your heart, a lonely Gethsemane, where I am watching and no one dares to come and watch with Me even for one hour. You would rather chase the possession of this earthly world even at the risk of perdition, leaving Me alone to suffer. The enemy is fast approaching; they are gaining ground so as to win many souls while you are asleep. Son,
can’t you wake up and watch with Me even one hour? I am in the sanctuary of your soul, a lonely Gethsemane, waiting for you to come. Many souls, many souls are going to hell because of the sins of the flesh. Son, see how you keep on leading many souls to perdition through your fashions. I am the one Whom you publicly expose naked. Son, console Me. Son, have mercy on Me. Never should a man imitate a woman! Never should a woman imitate a man! Be what I made you, son; be what I made you. I say, keep away from this worldly fashion. This is the plan of the enemy to destroy the temple of the Holy Spirit; that is your body. Live a modest life.
My loving son, because I love you and want you to show Me love, I am appealing to you to offer Me your whole being. Keep it for Me and for Me alone. May it glorify Me always, may it console Me always. I am not making this appeal to the world, but to you whom I love. Offer it to Me, offer it for salvation. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ, calling you to RETURN.

My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You. Only You I will adore forever.

FOURTH ANGUISHED APPEAL
My son, is this how you betray your Master and Savior? Only because of worldly money which perishes in this earthly life that you choose to betray your Master and hand Me over to the cruel men who crucified Me. Son, you are making yourself the Judas of the last age, for how terrible it will be for those who betray the Son of God, who hand Him over to sinful men to be crucified. See how they will regrettably pass into eternity and suffer eternally. Even among the priests of my heart, there are many Judases who choose worldly
possessions in exchange for their Master Who is in agony.
This pains me much, My son, for they are making My Father’s house a market place. My Father is greatly annoyed. Look and see how you are chasing Me away from My holy sanctuary. Son, do you want the presence of your God? Offer Me your life. I am the one Whom you are betraying only because of these earthly things. Son, since all these things you are laboring for will be destroyed by fire, why are you laboring in vain? Return to Me My son. Have mercy on He Who came to save you. Let My priests return to Me. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ Who loves you, appealing to you to RETURN.
(Silence)
My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You. Only You I will adore forever. With true repentance and love, I fall prostrate at Your feet; I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe and do not want to believe, those who do not
adore and do not want to adore, and those who crucified You and are crucifying You daily. Dear Jesus, I will console You all my life. Amen.
O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and by the help of Your grace, I will not sin again. Amen.

Hymn
I have sinned against the Lord my God, I am sorry, I beg pardon,
Forgive me I pray You Lord.
You are merciful to me O Lord, May I show You, the same mercy, By living as You on earth.
Refine and accept our souls O Lord, You bled so much, to save mankind, Bid all souls return to You.
O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I offer You the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ; His flesh covered with wounds and blood, His agony in the garden, His scourging, His crowning with thorns, His rejection, His condemnation, His crucifixion and death, along with all the sufferings of Your Holy Church and the blood of martyrs, in reparation for my sins and those of the whole world. Amen.
Agonizing Jesus, I offer You my heart to be united with Your Agonizing Heart as a co-bearer of Your agony. Jesus, I wish to be in agony with You so as to hasten Your Glorious Reign of Peace. Amen.
FIFTH ANGUISHED APPEAL
My son, when will the torments of My scourging due to your sins and those of the world end? Why are you scourging Me and at the same time crowning Me with thorns? And thus you are saying, “Let me sin. After, I will go to Confession.” I am the agonizing Jesus Whom you constantly torture. Son, did I give you the Sacrament of Penance for you to become a swine of iniquity? This is the sacrament of My
Love. It opens up the ocean of Divine Mercy, the Precious Blood and water which gush out to save and cleanse your iniquity, so that you will go and sin no more.
Son, withdraw the crown of thorns. Have mercy on Me, scourge Me not again. Love your God your Creator. Have no other gods of any creature. Only your God shall you fear and worship alone. Call not the name of your God in vain. Son, remember to keep the day of obligation holy. Prove My name in this bribery-filled and corrupt world. Have all these things done so as to lessen the pains of My agony. Offer all your disappointments, trials, and persecutions in atonement for your sins and those of the whole world. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ, pleading for you to RETURN.
(Silence)
My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You. Only You I will adore forever. With true repentance and love, I fall prostrate at Your feet; I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe
and do not want to believe, those who do not adore and do not want to adore, and those who crucified You and are crucifying You daily. Dear Jesus, I will console You all my life. Amen.
O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and by the help of Your grace, I will not sin again. Amen.
Our Father*…Hail Mary*…3 Glory Be’s*…
Hymn
Teach me to observe Your laws, O Lord. I will keep them with all of my heart.
Your Will is embodied therein.
I want to do Your Will.
As we receive You in the Eucharist, May we give You ourselves in return.
For Your gift of self is our life.
May we remain grateful.
Rectify your lives as Christians.
Check the way you live with your God. Seek for Him Who loves you always.
He wants to save us all.
O most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I offer You the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ; His flesh covered with wounds and blood, His agony in the garden, His scourging, His crowning with thorns, His rejection, His condemnation, His crucifixion and death, along with all the sufferings of Your Holy Church and the blood of martyrs, in reparation for my sins and those of the whole world. Amen.
Agonizing Jesus, I offer You my heart to be united with Your Agonizing Heart as a co-bearer of Your agony. Jesus, I wish to be in agony with You so as to hasten Your Glorious Reign of Peace. Amen.
SIXTH ANGUISHED APPEAL
My son, draw closer to Me and hear My anguished appeal. I am daily looking for someone to console Me and find no one. Look at My agonizing face. Where is the Veronica of the last age? Where is
she who will wipe My bloody face and console Me? Is she the one who joins the multitude in saying, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”? They have forgotten that I am their Messiah Who brought them out of Egypt, Who fed them with heavenly manna and shepherded them under My wing in the dry and hot desert. You have rejected Me and there is no one to help Me.
Son, this is how you abandoned your cross and turned away from the way of Calvary, leaving Me alone to suffer. Verily, I say to you My son, there is no other way which can lead to the land of promise other than the road of the Holy Cross. Carry your cross and follow Me all the days of your life. Help Me to carry all these rejected crosses which My people have abandoned for Me to carry. Son, live the life of your consecration. Carry your cross and follow Me. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ Who is calling you to RETURN.
(Silence)
My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You.
Only You I will adore forever. With true repentance and love, I fall prostrate at Your feet; I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe and do not want to believe, those who do not adore and do not want to adore, and those who crucified You and are crucifying You daily. Dear Jesus, I will console You all my life. Amen.
O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and by the help of Your grace, I will not sin again. Amen.
Our Father*…Hail Mary*…3 Glory Be’s*…

Agonizing Jesus, I offer You my heart to be united with Your Agonizing Heart as a co- bearer of Your agony. Jesus, I wish to be in agony with You so as to hasten Your Glorious Reign of Peace. Amen.
SEVENTH ANGUISHED APPEAL
My Son, look up and see how your sins hang Me on the Cross. I am bleeding for love of you. I am sweating for love of you. I am thirsty for love of this needful world. None of you is willing to console Me, rather, you offer Me vinegar when I am thirsty. You all stand afar, mock and criticize Me. My son, see how you are speaking falsely against your neighbor. Instead of praying for my Holy Church, you stand up to criticize it. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ Whom you are criticizing. The Church is My Body Whom you are crucifying.
My son, stand at the foot of My Holy Cross and offer, with My Mother, the whole world to Me. I will accept them and offer them to My Father. They will be His sons and daughters, and obey His commands. The wrath of the Eternal Father will be calmed, My holy wounds will be healed. Then, My Kingdom will come on earth. Son, have yourself crucified for Me and with Me on the Holy Cross of salvation. This is what I mostly need of you in atonement for your sins and those of the whole world. Son, I did not appeal for these things to the world, but to you, because I love you and I want you to show Me love.
I promise to draw all men with you to Myself through you. Accept My Anguished Appeal, O My loving son. I will offer all your sacrifices that will be acceptable to God in reparation for your sins and those of the whole world. In the end, the whole world will live in Me, with me and for Me. My Sacred Side will be opened for all men as a refuge. They will draw the Living Water from the Fountain of Life that pours out from My Sacred Side. Son, let My Will be done
on earth. Let My Will be done in you. Suffer for Me and with Me. Die for Me and live in Me. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ. I love you. I bless you all.
(Silence)
My God, my God, I believe firmly with all my heart. I hope and sincerely trust in You. Only You I will adore forever. With true repentance and love, I fall prostrate at Your feet; I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe and do not want to believe, those who do not adore and do not want to adore, and those who crucified You and are crucifying You daily. Dear Jesus, I will console You all my life. Amen.
O my God, because You are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You and by the help of Your grace, I will not sin again. Amen.

THE MYSTICAL PRAYERS
Of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Prayer to Vanquish Satan and his Agents
(5 July 1998)
“My children, I drink this cup for your sake . . . rejoice that you are called to this great devotion . . . There is no need for you to fear those numerous populations of the enemy. Children, simply offer the wounds, pains and blood of My left hand for their downfall; you will see them disappear like ashes…I assure you, many kingdoms of the enemy will disappear in the twinkle of an eye. Pray it and teach it to all men. My Precious Blood will save.”
All you great numerous enemies; the enemy of the holy death of my Master Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary; the prince of darkness and iniquity, the father of all liars; I stand on the death of my Master Jesus Christ and offer His pains, wounds, and the Precious Blood of His left hand to the Eternal Father for your downfall, your destruction and your scourging. Amen. Precious Blood of my Master Jesus Christ – reign in me and in the lives of all men. Amen.
Prayer for the Protection and Unity of the Flock
(6 July 1998)
“With love I offered…the Precious Blood from my sacred feet…for the unity of My Church. I mean all who call on my name. As the nail held my feet together, so it held all my people to become one. My children, whenever you say this prayer you are making the hour of My Kingdom on earth come sooner. Through this prayer, My Father will let it come down soon; the hour of the Second Pentecost when My prayer will be fulfilled that all shall be one… All who carry out this devotion will rejoice greatly when My Kingdom comes. I will protect them always.”
Eternal Father, I offer You all the wounds,
pains, and the Precious Blood from the sacred feet of Your Son, Our Lord and Master, for all Your children who are wandering like sheep without a shepherd in this terrifying forest. Protect them against wild predators and give them peace that they might be one and united in the same way as the nail held fast the feet of my Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Precious Blood of Jesus Christ – reign forever. Amen.
Prayer for Refuge in the Sacred Side of Jesus Christ
(7 July 1998)
“My children, this era is that of darkness. The prince of darkness is ruling the earth. All who belong to the light will suffer great attacks from the enemy . . . this hour is exactly the mirror of the hour of the day I was crucified . . . My children, these evil days will swallow many souls. That is why I teach this mysterious prayer to you in order that you all might be saved. My Sacred Side is open for all men. Pray it and make it known to all men. All who teach this prayer to others will be protected. I love you all. Run for your lives.”
O loving Father, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who protected the Israelites of old in His holy wings in the dryness of the cold and hot desert; I offer You the holy death of my Master and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the protection of Your people who are scattered all over the world. May the Blood and water wash and strengthen, save and cleanse us that we might find home in the Sacred Side of Your Son which opens for all men. Amen. Sacred Side of Jesus Christ – be our home for safety. Amen.
Prayer for Release from Ancestral Curses
(8 July 1998)
“All who are under curses and constantly say this prayer shall be free from their curses. Any family that is suffering from the curse of sins made by their forefathers and makes a 144 day novena through this prayer, will be freed. All who break a covenant and are supposed to die shall be saved and also be released from their curse if they constantly say this prayer and repent. My children, how terrible will it be to fall into God’s anger! Turn from your sins and live. I love you all. Be healed.”
Eternal Father, You are the only Immortal God, God Who is love, merciful and kind. Look at Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and have mercy. I offer You the pains of His scourging at the pillar, His wounds and blood, for all Your people who are under the weight of the curse due to the sins of their ancestors and their disobedience for breaking the covenant they made with You. May You set us free through the scourging of Your Son, heal us through His wounds and save us through His Precious Blood. Amen. Precious Blood of Jesus Christ – release us from curses. Holy wounds of Jesus Christ
– heal our wounds. By Your scourging – seal
us. Amen.
Prayer for the Sustenance of the Faith
(9 July 1998)
“Many will betray me. I mean those who eat with Me from the same plate and drink with Me from one cup will hand Me over to those that will crucify Me. Listen well, My children, and meditate on these words. For how terrible it will be for those who will deny Me, who loves them . . . When I was about to leave My people on earth, My agony grew greater when I remembered their unfaithfulness. I also remembered the period that is coming is terrible and fearful; that many will betray me like Judas while others will deny that they know me…Children, pray this prayer always for faith and make it known to the whole world before the perilous era comes in full force. If you have little faith, even as small as a mustard seed, you will overcome this period. This mysterious prayer is powerful. Teach it to the whole world. I love you all.”
Omnipotent and Omniscient God, God of Elijah and the prophets, look at the Sacred Head of Your only-begotten Son and have mercy. Arise and save Your people. I offer You all the shame, the pains, the wounds and the Precious Blood from the Sacred Head of Your Son for all Your children who are living in these perilous
times. Strengthen our faith through the mockery of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and save us through the Precious Blood from His Sacred Head. May we, through the sufferings of Your Son, Jesus Christ, learn to suffer in You and die in You. Amen. Holy tortures of Jesus Christ – increase our faith. Amen.
Prayer for the Manifestation of the Divine Will
(10 July 1998)
“My children, the fight between you and the adversary is coming to its climax now . . . With great determination they have shut a large number of My children down . . . My agony…grew worse and worse when I entered Gethsemane. I looked at my people and saw that they were asleep while their enemy was fast approaching and gaining ground . . . My Agonizing Heart broke (out) with these words . . . “Why are you sleeping? Can’t you watch with Me even one hour? Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” When I knelt down again in prayer the burden of My death weighed Me down. Before I thought about it, I said, “Father, take this cup away from Me, but not My Will, rather, Yours be done.” That
hour was the hour of My greatest temptation which might have hindered me from fulfilling the Will of My Father. Finally, I looked up and prayed to My Father thus…make it known to the whole world for the reign of My Father on earth . . . I say, these are my mysterious prayers. They are very powerful.”
Eternal Father, You are the creator and author of life. You love the world You made. That is why You sent Your only-begotten Son to come for its redemption, so that Your Kingdom will come. Look upon Your Son and rise up on Your throne. Raise Your right hand and save Your people. I offer all the suffering, pains, and death of Your only-begotten Son Whom You love, for Your triumph and Your reign on earth. May You, through the Precious Blood of Your Son, make a new covenant and bring all Your children back to Your Holy Will. Amen. Precious Blood of Jesus Christ
– reign forever. Agonizing Jesus Christ – Thy Kingdom come. Amen.
Prayer for Endurance through the Coming Chastisement
(13 July 1998)
“My children, pray that this period you are living in now will be shortened. Pray also that your faith will not fail. Be on your guard. Be alert and watch always…Many will give up their faith at the last minute when everything is about to pass . . . This period will suddenly catch up with many people because they are not prepared
. . . How many of you will fight and drive back My adversary, conquer, and bring the captives home?…My children, learn this prayer and pray it always especially during the hour of trials… When My people rejected Me and condemned Me and said, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” I looked up to heaven and prayed to My Father and said…”
Merciful and loving Father, Your wish is that all men shall be saved. Kindly look on Your rejected and condemned Son Who suffered many tortures and will suffer many through the sins of Your people. Look and see what sin has done to your only-begotten Son. I offer for all Your people who are living in these ungodly and wicked days, all the tortures, pains, rejection and
shame of your Son, Jesus Christ, to You, for the faith to withstand trials and patience to withstand long torture. May they through the suffering of Your only Son, fight to the end. Amen. Our Lord’s torture – increase our faith. Precious Blood of Jesus Christ – save us. Amen.
Prayer for Fallen Sheep and Against a Fall in Faith
(22 July 1998)
“I envisaged constant abandonment of faith in my people and how they will constantly reject their God and crucify Me daily. The pains grew in intensity when I saw how hard it will be for them to return…Many there were who would stop on the way because they thought the way was too hard and long …How large the number of My people who will lose hope and fall… I say to you, My children, wake up and stand firm! During My fall, I remembered all these things and offered them to My Father through this prayer… Through it, My Father will pour on you all the needed graces to endure until the end. All who pray it devotedly will possess the fullness of the Holy Spirit and learn to be obedient and humble.”
Eternal and loving Father, look kindly onYour only-begotten Son. See the heavy Cross prepared for Your only Son and have mercy on Your people. I offer to You all the pains, suffering, and Precious Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, for all Your people who have abandoned their faith and will abandon their faith in the mountainous hills and deep valleys of this world. May they, through the falling of Your Son under the Cross, have strength to rise again and stand firm in the true faith. Through the ocean of His Precious Blood dumped under the Cross on the streets of Jerusalem strengthen all who are eager to do Your Will. Amen. Precious Blood of Jesus Christ – strengthen our weakened souls. Amen.
Prayer for the Reign of Glory on Earth
(27 July 1998)
“Children, live the life of your consecration now. You will learn much from Me . . . you will go safely in the hour that is coming . . . you will know when, who, and what to do . . . The manifestation of the Red Dragon and the antichrist in this last hour of this age pierced My Heart greatly during My ministry on earth and even more when I was about to breathe My last on the Cross.
As I hung on the Cross, I envisaged the proud Dragon. It boasted to reign on earth forever . . . I silently offered My Father this prayer for the downfall of the enemy of the Cross…My children, through this prayer the antichrist and the Red Dragon and his agents will have a short hour of reign on earth. The more you pray, the shorter the hour of their reign on earth.”
O loving and merciful Father. You are all knowledgeable and all-powerful. Oh Alpha! Oh Omega! Creator of all things. You are eternal, Father. Father, why are you forsaking me? Look kindly on Your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ, Who came to save your people and bring Your Kingdom down on earth. I offer You all the agonies, tortures, pains, and Precious Blood of Your only Son, Jesus Christ, for the defeat of all the enemies of the Holy Cross of salvation; the antichrist and the Red Dragon who are fighting or will fight against the truth now and in the end of the age. May they, through the Precious Blood of Our Redeemer and His last breath on earth, disappear like foam exposed under the sun, so that Your Kingdom will quickly come on earth. Amen. Precious Blood of Jesus Christ – Thy Kingdom come. Amen.
Prayer Against the Sins of the Flesh
(28 July 1998)
“Pray much for My youth . . . many will be lost due to (this) sin . . . I was naked in the sight of all men so that you shall defeat and kill the desires of the flesh which lead to this sin of fornication and adultery. Children, My adversary used this sin to claim all men to himself…Any sinner who constantly prays this prayer will gain true repentance…The more you pray it, the more (souls) will return to me and leave fornication and adultery. Many people will be lost due to the sins of the flesh. Work hard to save souls…” Holy and merciful Father, Your only- begotten Son is standing naked in the sight of all men, so that Your people will know and fear Your holy law. Accept my humble prayer for all Your people who are living under iniquity, fornication and adultery, that through all the shame and disgrace of Your only-begotten Son, You will touch their lives for repentance and save them. May they, through the Precious Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ, which I plead to fall on their hearts, gain repentance and be saved. Through His shame make them bold for
repentance. Amen.
Prayer for the Baptism of Aborted Babies
(29 July 1998)
“Today the blood of innocent children has filled heaven. Their number is too great, too great . . . the wrath of the Eternal Father is about to fall on mankind…Their blood disturbs My Agonizing Heart and increases My agony…Through this prayer, large numbers of innocent unborn babies will be saved. Pray it daily and make it known to the world. Anyone who teaches it will not be lost. Innocent souls in heaven will not let them become lost. I, with My Love and Mercy, will protect them from falling into mortal sin.”
Heavenly Father, Your love is eternal. In
Your ocean of love, You saved the world through Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Now look at Your only Son on the Cross Who is constantly bleeding for love of His people, and forgive Your world. Purify and baptize aborted children with the Precious Blood and water from the Sacred Side of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who hung dead on the Cross for their salvation; in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May they, through the holy death of Jesus Christ, gain everlasting life, through His wounds be healed and through His Precious Blood be freed. There to rejoice with the saints in heaven. Amen.
SHORT & EFFICACIOUS REPARATION PRAYER TO THE ETERNAL FATHER
(22 July 1999)
“All who adore My Precious Blood console My Father Who loves His Son the most. As you adore My Blood, the pains of My Sacred Heart lessen. The Sorrowful Heart of My Mother will also be consoled. Children, adore My Precious Blood always and offer it to My Father for mercy. Hear this prayer. Pray it always in reparation for the sins of the whole world. Pray it three times each time you pray it. I assure you that the Divine Mercy will multiply. Pray it always and many times a day, since you are living in these ungodly days. Pray it so that you shall be safe from the purification fire. Children, make it known to the whole world.”
Eternal Father, I offer to You all the wounds of Your dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ; the pains and agony of His Sacred Heart and His Most Precious Blood, which gushed out from all his wounds, for the reparation of my sins and those of the whole world. Amen. (repeat 3 times)

To be prayed holding Crucifix aloft
(12 January 2001)
O Glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, be our defense in the terrible warfare which we carry on against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, spirits of evil. Come to the aid of man, whom God created immortal, made in his own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil.
Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in heaven. That cruel, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who
seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.
These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the Immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.
Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.
L: Behold the cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.
R: The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered!
L: Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.
R: As we have hoped in Thee
L: O Lord, hear my prayer.
R: And let my cry come unto Thee
Let us Pray
O God, the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy Holy Name, and as supplicants we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin, Immaculate and Our Mother, and of the glorious Archangel Michael, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all other unclean spirits, who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.
POWERFUL INVOCATION OF PROTECTION
To be prayed holding Crucifix aloft
(7 July 1997)
Adoration! Adoration!! Adoration!!! To Thee, O powerful weapon.
Adoration! Adoration!! Adoration!!! To Thy Precious Blood.
Merciful Agonizing Jesus Christ, pour Your Precious Blood on our souls. Satisfy my thirst and defeat our enemies. Amen.
Powerful Blood of salvation, fight the enemy. (3 times)
PRAYER FOR THE NEW ISRAEL
To Acknowledge the Value of the Price of Their Redemption (Ecclesiasticus 36:1-17) (20 July 2001)
Have mercy upon us, O God of all, and behold us, and show us the light of Thy mercies: and send Thy fear upon the nations that have not sought after Thee; that they may know that there is no God beside Thee, and that they may show forth Thy wonders. Lift up Thy hand over the strange nations, that they may see Thy power. For as Thou hast been sanctified in us in their sight, so Thou shalt be magnified among them in our presence. That they may know Thee, as we also have known Thee, that there is no God beside Thee, O Lord.
Renew Thy signs, and work new miracles. Glorify Thy hand, and Thy right arm. Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath. Take away the adversary, and crush the enemy. Hasten the time, and remember the end, that they may declare Thy wonderful works. Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress
Thy people. Crush the head of the princes of the enemies that say: There is no other beside us.
Gather together all the tribes of Jacob, that they may know that there is no God besides Thee, and may declare Thy great works, and Thou shalt inherit them as from the beginning. Have mercy on Thy people, upon whom Thy name is invoked; and upon Israel, whom Thou hast raised up to be Thy firstborn. Have mercy on Jerusalem, the city which Thou hast sanctified, the city of Thy rest. Fill Sion with Thy unspeakable words, and Thy people with Thy glory. Give testimony to them that are Thy creatures from the beginning, and raise up the prophesies which the former prophets spoke in Thy name. Amen.
Precious Blood of Jesus Christ refine the Church and wash us clean. (3 times)

I am all abandoned Leaving Me with a crown of thorns.
So pierced My Heart, which pierced My Head All My people have deserted Me.
My lovers, My lovers Where are you, where are you?
This crown of thorns has pierced My Soul Withdraw the thorns, have mercy on Me. (Chorus)
For love of You, for love of You
I died on the cross with a crown of thorns.
I am living with the thorns again I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ. (Chorus)
My dearest Agonizing Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High, I fall prostrate at Your feet with all my nothingness. I recall all my grievous offences against You. I pray You Lord, have mercy on me. My sins kept You in agony over these thousands of years. Looking at You hanging alive on the Cross with a horrible crown of thorns, blood badly bathing Your face, and the spikes of the thorns piercing Your delicate Sacred Head, I feel sorry for my ungrateful gift of thorns to You. I wish to withdraw the crown of thorns and offer You a loving golden crown. (Kissing the crown and pressing it to her heart, she continued.)
My Jesus, Whose Sacred Head I lacerated with a crown of thorns – have mercy on me and forgive Your world.
My Jesus, Who is suffering mystically the pain and agony of my wicked crown of thorns in Your Sacred Heart – have mercy on me and forgive Your world.
My Jesus, Who suffers the ignominy of my wicked crown of thorns – have mercy
on me and forgive Your world. (Pressing the thorns on her head, she kissed the feet of the Agonizing Jesus Christ on the Cross and prayed.)
My Agonizing Jesus, I remember how I beat Your Sacred Head with an iron rod to drive the spikes of the thorns into Your delicate brain. I feel its sound and pain like a thunderbolt disfiguring Your virginal being. Oh how callously my wickedness has suffered You, my gentle Savior. When I consider Your terrible journey to Calvary, I weep bitterly for my wicked crown of thorns on Your Sacred Head, the seat of Divine Wisdom. I feel Your falling under the Cross, with the weight of the Cross helping the spikes penetrate deeper and deeper inside Your delicate brain. I see my very self dragging You up and beating You on Your Sacred Head with a spear. Oh would that I was not the one who did all these things to my loving Savior. I will fight for You.
My Jesus, I have treated You cruelly, forgive me, forgive me, forgive Your world. I will
do all things possible to withdraw the thorns through my own way of life henceforth. My wickedness kept the crown of thorns on Your Sacred Head until your death to see that You did not draw any comfort from any part of Yourself. Lord have mercy on me, Christ have mercy on my wickedness.
I feel Your Sacred Head resting dead on the lap of Your Sorrowful Mother. There I see the united hands of John the Beloved, Mary Magdalene, and Your Sorrowful Mother removing my wicked crown of thorns from Your Sacred Head with loving tears. I wish I were one of them – withdrawing my wicked crown and offering a golden crown of my love for You. (Holding the crown of thorns and looking meditatively in silence, she finally prayed)
I offer You my very self and promise to carry my Cross after You all the days of my life with joy and love. Take the merits of my sufferings and persecutions, which I promise to accept with love in atonement for my sins and those of the whole world. Dearest Agonizing
Jesus Christ, with this poor offering, I wish to withdraw my wicked crown of thorns and offer You a golden crown. Receive from me a sincere love. This is my golden crown I am offering to You. Amen.
Eternal Father, I have offended You greatly for having lacerated the Sacred Head of Your only-begotten Son, the one Whom You love most. Have mercy on me. Forgive me and forgive Your world. Amen. (3 times)
PRAYER FOR THE CONTROL OF THE TONGUE
Dear Holy Spirit, My God. Teach me to speak
wisely. Let me avoid useless thoughts and useless conversations. Help me to speak often for You. Grant that my words may never hurt men of goodwill. May My words always bring consolation to those in sorrow and guidance to those in need. Take my lips and make them Yours. Take possession of my mind and make it an instrument of Your goodness and a channel of truth. I hope to become a lover of silence, who prefers to talk to God then to men. In my human conversation, may I always bring them closer to You and You closer to them. I ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen
Our Father* . . . Hail Mary* . . . Glory Be*
CROWN OF THORNS OFFERING
Dear Lord, I am grieved when I consider Your pitiable condition when You wore the crown of thorns upon Your Holy Head. I desire to withdraw the thorns by offering to the Eternal Father the merits of your wounds for the salvation of sinners. I wish to unite my actions to the merits of Your most holy crown so that they may gain many merits as You have promised. Amen.

A voice cried out from the highest throne saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go and redeem the world and bring My Kingdom down to them?” In the absence of any response, Jesus, the Eternal Word said, “Here I am, send Me Father.”
O God, by the merits of this mystery, make me an instrument of salvation and renewal for the world. Amen.

O God, by the merits of this mystery, give me the grace of purity and of humility, so that by humility I will crush the head of Satan and by purity my soul will be Your tabernacle. Amen.

When the time came, God revealed His Son to the world. First, at His Baptism in the river Jordan when God said, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” (Mt 3:17) And again, during the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor when He added, “Listen to Him.” (Mt 17:5)

O God, by the merits of this mystery, give me the grace to proclaim Your Kingdom on earth by words and actions, so that Your Kingdom will reach the ends of the earth soon. Amen.

THE FIFTH MYSTERY
Triumph on the Cross
(Pause and Meditate)
“As man was defeated on the tree; man will be redeemed on the tree; so that the tree of man’s downfall will be the tree of man’s resurrection.” And He came to His people, but His people did not welcome Him, rather, they dragged Him to the mountain called Golgotha where they nailed Him on the Cross. On that Cross, Christ announced His Triumph saying, “It is finished.” (John 19:30)
O God, by the merits of this mystery, strengthen the faith of Your little ones on earth. May they unite with Your Church to conquer the Red Dragon for the manifestation of Your Glorious Reign. Amen.

PRAYER APPENDIX
Sign of the Cross*…
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Apostle’s Creed*…
I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ His only Son, Our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven; sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Our Father*…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary*…
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Holy Queen*…
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we
send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, Thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. L: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God
R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
Act of Contrition*…
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments; but most of all, because I have offended Thee, my God, Who are so good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen
O most Holy Trinity*…
O most Holy Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I offer You the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ, His flesh covered with wounds and blood, His agony in the garden, His scourging,
His crowning with thorns, His rejection, His condemnation, His crucifixion and death, along with all the sufferings of Your Holy Church and the blood of martyrs, in reparation for my sins and those of the whole world. Amen.

Novena to Our Lady of Health Vailankanni nine day novena
O Mary! Our Mother of Health, and our Heavenly Queen, seated on your Holy throne of mercy and compassion in your shrine at Vailankanni, we praise and honour you our refuge and our relief. Numberless are the sick, who through you, have recovered health.
Relying on your Power and goodness we fly to you and implore you to heal our infirmities and to obtain for us perfect health of body and soul, that we may better be able to serve you and your Divine Son.
At all the times, you have been the help and consolation of the infirm. You obtain for them health when it is the conducive to their death.
Help us then, O most amiable Mother and obtain the cure from all our sufferings, or patience to endure them in the spirit of resignation agreeable to God‘s Holy Will, so that all our trials and suffering may help to purify our souls and help us to detach ourselves from all earthly ties. Amen….
O Most Holy Virgin! You were chosen by the Most Adorable Trinity from all eternity to be the most pure Mother of Jesus. Permit me, your humble and devoted servant, to remind you of the joy received in the instant of the Most Sacred Incarnation of our Divine Lord and during the nine months you carried Him in your chaste womb. I wish most sincerely that I could renew, or even increase that joy, by the fervour of my Prayers.
O Tender Mother of the afflicted! Grant me under my present necessities that special protection you have promised to those who devoutly commemorate this ineffable joy. Relying on the infinite mercies of your Divine Son, trusting in the promise which He has made that those who ask should receive, and penetrated with confidence in your powerful prayers, I most humbly entreat you intercede for me. I beg you to obtain for me the favours which I petition for in this novena, if it be the Holy Will of God to grant them; to ask for me whatever graces I most stand in need of.(Here specify your requests)
I desire by this novena, which I now offer in your honour, to prove the lively confidence I have in your intercession. Accept it, I beseech you, in honour of that supernatural love and joy, with which your Immaculate Heart was replenished during the abode of your divine Son in your womb; in veneration of which, I offer you the sentiments of my heart.
(Repeat the Hail Mary nine times)O Mother of God! accept these salutations in union with the respect and veneration with which the Angel Gabriel first hailed you,
“Full of Grace” I wish most sincerely that they may become so many gems in the crown of your incidental glory, which will increase in brightness to the end of the world. I beseech you, O comfortress of the afflicted, by the joy you received, when the word was made flesh, to obtain for me the favours and graces, which I have now implored through your powerful intercession. For this end I offer you all the good works which have even been performed in your honour. I most humbly entreat you for the love of the amiable Heart of Jesus, with which yours was ever so inflamed, to hear my humble prayers and to obtain my requests. -Amen.
This Novena prayer will be helpful to those helpless people when everything fails, and who wants speedy and visible answers to their agony.

St Lucia Great Vision
SR. LUCIA’S GREAT VISION
In 1929, she saw a vision of Jesus Crucified. At the top of the cross, there was a man with a body up to the waist and upon his chest was dove of light. A little below the waist of Jesus was a chalice and a large host. Blood from the face of Jesus Crucified and from the wound in his side ran down on to the host and fell into the chalice. Beneath the right arm of the cross was Mary with her her immaculate heart. Under the left arm of the cross, large letters, as if of crystal clear water which ran down upon the altar, formed these words: “Grace and Mercy.”

Second Sunday of Lent
The Second Sunday of Lent
Fr. Thomas Hoisington
Genesis 15:5-12,17-18 + Philippians 3:17—4:1 + Luke 9:28-36
But our citizenship is in heaven ….
In this Sunday’s First Reading from Genesis, we hear about God’s relationship with Abram, whom God renames “Abraham” a few chapters later. In the snapshot of their relationship presented by the First Reading, we see the kernels of a life of prayer.
If you were to choose a single word out of the First Reading to summarize this snapshot, it would be the word “covenant”. In our society, about the only place you hear of a “covenant” is in a housing edition that calls itself a “covenant community”. This is a mis-use of the word “covenant”, because belonging to a housing community is based upon a contract.
A contract is based in time, has limits, and involves an exchange of money, possessions, and labor or the like. By contrast, a covenant is based in eternity, is meant to be limitless, and involves an exchange of persons. When one buys a house, one signs a contract. When one marries one’s spouse, one enters into a covenant. When one is baptized, one enters into a covenant with God, even if one is an infant.
In the First Reading, God enters a covenant with Abram, and through him, also with his progeny. Through this covenant, God and Abram make promises about how they would act towards each other. They enter into a relationship with spiritual and moral dimensions.
You can see here the similarity between the marriage covenant and a biblical covenant like that between God and Abram. In a covenant, each party agrees not only to be moral in behavior towards the other, but even to sacrifice oneself for the other.
Entering into a covenant with God, or with another person in a sacrament like Marriage, is the giving of one’s whole self: one’s whole life. Each saint’s life demonstrates just how much effort this takes. That’s why prayer is so needed, and in this we have an example of God’s generosity. Not only does He enter into a covenant with us in our Baptism, so that we might possibly enjoy His life eternally in Heaven. God gives us the strength through prayer and the sacraments to live up to our end of the deal.
What can we say about prayer, then, as it helps us grow stronger in our covenant relationship with God? You might describe prayer as “communication” with God. Real communication, whether in marriage or in one’s relationship with God, involves both listening and speaking. A marriage where only one spouse speaks—where’s there’s no dialogue, but only monologues—will not grow to its intended fullness.
But this covenant relationship between God and Abram also shows us that prayer, while often a dialogue, is meant to lead into something profound. The trance that Abram enters in the First Reading symbolizes the deepest stage of prayer: what in our Catholic tradition is called mystical prayer. This deepest stage of prayer is not just for gifted Christians like St. Teresa of Avila.
This deepest level of prayer is the goal of prayer for every Christian, as the Council Fathers at Vatican II said. If you and I reach Heaven, this is what we will experience there: a mystical relationship with God.
The question isn’t whether you are meant for this. The question isn’t even only whether you will experience it in Heaven. The spiritual life also asks whether even on earth you might grasp some glimpse of this experience in prayer while on earth. A good resource to help Christians grow in this pursuit is Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen’s book Union with God according to St. John of the Cross (Sophia Institute Press).
The difficulty is that to be disposed to deeper levels of prayer, we have to root out of our souls the selfishness that lies underneath the surface of our lives. So the Christian life is like the chicken and the egg: the relationship between our moral life and spiritual life is complex. Each builds upon the other.
To take one simple step forward this Lent, in either our moral life or our spiritual life, we should keep in mind the simple phrase of Saint Paul in today’s Second Reading: “our citizenship is in Heaven.” God has created you for Heaven, not for earth. Like Jesus at the Transfiguration, we cannot remain here and rest. We have an exodus to make, a pilgrimage to set out upon, and Christ is our guide if we would only hear and heed Him.

First Sunday of Lent
The First Sunday of Lent

Fr. Thomas Hoisington
Deuteronomy 26:4-10 + Romans 10:8-13 + Luke 4:1-13
He brought us out of Egypt with his strong hand and outstretched arm ….
There are many different types of freedom. For example, sometimes we want to be free from the influence that another person holds over us. Sometimes we want to be free from a job, or from an agreement we’ve made with someone, or from an assignment that we’ve been handed. But none of those is the type of freedom that Jesus gave up his life to offer us.
Jesus died on the Cross to free us from our own sinfulness. During Lent, we look inside ourselves, and look at how we have enslaved ourselves to sin, thereby destroying the greatest type of human freedom: the power to choose what is best in life, which is to say, what is of God.
There is, of course, no human being who does not experience the temptation to sin. Even Jesus experienced temptation, as we hear in today’s Gospel passage.
There are many situations in life that present temptations. God uses some temptations, in fact, in order to “school us” in self-discipline.
Some situations, though, we must stay away from if they are occasions of sin. But how does a person know whether something—for her or him personally—is a near occasion of sin? Some situations are occasions of sin for practically everyone. But other situations are occasions of sin for only some individuals.
Everyone who wants to take God’s call to holiness seriously is invited to follow Christ. But since each of us leads a different life—through a particular vocation with unique circumstances—each walks a different path through this spiritual desert. Nonetheless, each path leads through the same desert, and it is Christ who leads each of us.
There are three stages by which Jesus leads His disciple through the desert. The first stage is the simplest and perhaps easiest: the sacrifice of material things, which we practice in our fasting. Each of us must learn how to resist the temptation to live our lives by “bread alone”. This doesn’t necessarily mean owning nothing—like monks or nuns—but it does mean not being attached to our belongings. By detaching ourselves from things, fasting increases our self-control and freedom.
The second stage through the desert is the sacrifice of power and control over others, which is what we practice through almsgiving. There are many ways in which we, like Christ, are called to exercise power authentically (for example, with money and positions of authority), and we face temptations to abuse that power. At this second level of sacrifice, it can take us longer to be honest with ourselves and face up to our sins. But by detaching ourselves from control over others, almsgiving increases our self-control and freedom.
The third stage through the desert is the final stage: the end stage. This stage, which we sometimes simply call “prayer”, is underestimated. Authentic prayer means sacrificing our life to a God who doesn’t always give us the answers we feel we need.
We human beings want to understand the path that we are on. Likewise, we want to understand the meaning of each cross that appears in our lives. Like the other two stages through the desert, this is a matter of control. Unfortunately, when we don’t get answers, it’s easy instead to choose sin, because sin seems at least to offer an answer as well as some sort of control. Such an answer will of course be false, and the sort of control that sin offers ends up making life more difficult. But as human beings, we become comfortable with sin and the falsehoods it offers.
Sin sinks roots into our lives. We begin to accept sin as so ordinary a part of our lives that we don’t see it as sin anymore. Once sins take deep root in our lives, it’s easy to believe that those sins are part of us, and that we can’t live without them: that there’s no use in trying to root them out of our lives.
It’s much harder to face the truth that Jesus is calling each of us into this driest and hottest part of the desert. He is calling each of us to radical holiness. He is calling each of us to conform our lives to His Cross: the Cross that we will reverence—bow before, kneel before, and kiss—on Good Friday.
Leviticus 19:1-2,11-18 + Matthew 25:31-46
“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.”
At the beginning of this first full week of Lent, Jesus preaches to us about the Final Judgment. The parable that Jesus preaches in today’s Gospel passage reminds us of the old adage: “Always begin with your end in mind.” This saying is good for reflection first thing in the morning, as an entire day upon God’s green earth stretches out before us. At the beginning of the day we pray the Morning Offering, which reminds us that each day on earth is about God: living in His love, and for His glory.
This saying—“Always begin with the end in mind.”—is good for reflection at the beginning of Lent, as we recognize our need for conversion, our need for forgiveness, and our need for redemption. Thanks be to God that all of these are possible in Christ!
Some would argue that God’s Judgment at the Second Coming inspires fear, and so therefore we ought not reflect upon either the Second Coming, or upon the three of the four Last Things that seem “negative”: Hell, death and judgment. But Hell, death and judgment do not come directly from God. God permits each, but only when man chooses them. God’s direct choice is always love. Love is the end for which God has created each person. Reflecting upon the consequences of the Last Things help us more firmly choose God in all things, even in suffering.
Isaiah 55:10-11 + Matthew 6:7-15“If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.”
Our prayers of petition add nothing to God: neither to His knowledge of us, nor to His love for us. God cannot love us more than He already does. Likewise, He knows everything about us, better then we know ourselves. He knows our past lives, our current thoughts, motives and actions, and our destiny. So if we offer our petitions to God, since we do so not for God’s sake, we must do so for our sake. But in what sense is this true?
If our petitions are answered as we wish, then the act of petitioning God beforehand helps our little minds understand our dependence on God: that every good thing comes from him, not from ourselves.
If our petitions are not answered as we wish, because what we wish is contrary to what God wishes for us, then the act of petitioning God helps our little hearts turn towards Him and ask questions about our own desires, and how we might need to reform them. Hopefully this helps us enter more deeply into God’s Heart and His desires for us.
Yet if our petitions are not answered as we wish because what we wish is something we are not ready for, then the act of petitioning God helps our little souls to grow in their capacity and desire for God’s good gift. We hear St. Augustine speak to this holy need in the Office of Readings during the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time:
“The whole life of a good Christian is a holy desire. Now what you long for, you do not yet see: however, by longing, you are made capable, so that when that has come which you may see, you shall be filled. For just as, if you would fill a bag, and know how great the thing is that shall be given, you stretch the opening of the sack or the skin, or whatever else it be—you know how much you would put in, and see that the bag is narrow—by stretching you make it capable of holding more. So God, by deferring our hope, stretches our desire; by the desiring, stretches the mind; by stretching, increases its capacity. Let us desire therefore, my brethren, for we shall be filled.”
“Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.”
Signs are important in the Christian journey. Jesus speaks of two signs in today’s Gospel passage. He says that both Jonah and the Son of Man are signs for others. But Jesus says more. He explains that “as” Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, “so will” the Son of Man be a sign to “this generation”.
So we need to ask first how it was that Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites. The Old Testament Book of Jonah presents Jonah in two ways. First, Jonah preaches the need for repentance throughout Nineveh. Second, he is thrown overboard into deep waters and is swallowed by a large fish where he spends three days, all because he is the scapegoat for the affliction facing his shipmates.
Given all this, how does Jonah foreshadow Jesus serving as a sign to Jesus’ own generation? First, Jesus proclaims the Kingdom of God. This proclamation always begins with preaching the need for repentance and conversion. His preaching, however, along with His saving works, inevitably lead to His condemnation. Jesus rhetorically asks His co-religionists, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” [John 10:32]. This reflects what the Beloved Disciple declares in the prologue of his Gospel account: “He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him” [John 1:11].
Jesus’ rejection reaches its climax on Good Friday. Yet we need to reflect upon the plain fact that Jesus’ rejection continues today. His rejection, which the story of Jonah foreshadows, is shared in today by each faithful member of Christ’s Body who lives and breathes in this fallen world. At His Last Supper Jesus declares to His disciples, “If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first” [John 15:18
Esther C:12,14-16,23-25 + Matthew 7:7-12
“… how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.”
When a Christian is a beginner in the spiritual life, most of his prayers are likely prayers of petition. As he grows in spiritual maturity, fewer of his prayers will be petitions. More of his prayers will be of the other three types of vocal prayer: contrition, thanksgiving and adoration.
However, is one of the goals of the spiritual life to no longer offer prayers of petition? Should you strive to reach the point where you no longer “need” to offer petitions? Would this even be possible?
In the secular culture that surrounds us, independence is prized. Standing on one’s own two feet is a hallmark of personal identity. But Christian growth is marked by becoming more like a little child. This occurs as one realizes one’s deep and abiding—indeed, everlasting—dependence upon God the Father. One doesn’t, strictly speaking, grow in dependence upon God, for one can never be anything but fully dependent upon Him. One grows, rather, in one’s awareness of this dependence, as well as one’s comfort in resting in His providential care.

Nothing Worthy more than your Soul
Jesus said that your soul is worth more than the rest of the world put together. He asked, “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” (Mark 8:36). It is impossible for us to grasp what is meant by “the whole world.” For this is not only the physical world or the geographical world. It includes the business world, the scientific world, the intellectual world. Jesus said that the soul is worth more than all the world.
Why is your soul so valuable? First, the value of your soul is measured by its eternal quality. It will never die. You are going to live forever. Your body will die, but your soul, the part of you that is made in the image of God, will never die. Your soul—your spirit—will live forever. It is that part of you that has understanding and wisdom.
Many people have knowledge, but they don’t have wisdom. The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). A great British historian said some years ago, “Man, by his knowledge, has brought himself to total annihilation.”
Knowledge without God and without wisdom is very dangerous. That’s one of the problems in the world today. We have a lot of knowledge; we have a lot of learning, but the Bible says you can be “always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7). We lack the wisdom to use our knowledge.
Your soul is that part of you that has judgment. It makes decisions—moral decisions—what is good and what is bad. Your soul also involves your will. Your will chooses or rejects things that are brought before it. Your soul is that part of you that has emotion, like love and fear. It has memory—the mental capacity for storing up knowledge of ideas and events. There is something down inside us that is beyond science to know. The Bible calls it soul or spirit.
We tend to put all of our emphasis on the body with its pleasures and its physical appetites. But the soul also has appetites. The soul longs for God. Down deep inside every person’s heart is a cry for something, but he doesn’t quite know what it is. Man is a worshiping creature. He instinctively knows that there is something out there somewhere, and he longs to know that something or someone. Your soul longs for vital contact with God. Your soul is valuable because it is eternal—it is forever.
Second, the value of your soul is measured by the devil’s interest in it. Jesus said the devil is the prince of this world. He is the god of this age. The devil is greatly at work in our world, and he is after your soul.
God created a perfect world. He and man were friends. God never meant that there would be suffering and war and death. But Satan came. He was a mighty angel, possibly the greatest of all of God’s created beings, and he rebelled against God.
When God built the earth, He put humans in charge of the earth. God wanted someone in the universe whom He could love and who would return love to Him. So He gave man freedom of choice. God said to man, “I put one tree in this garden—you are not to eat its fruit. If you eat it, you will suffer and die” (Cf. Genesis 3:3). God was testing man. He gave man the freedom of will.
But the devil told man, “God doesn’t mean what he says. You’re not going to die. If you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will be as great as God” (Cf. Genesis 3:4-6). So Eve ate the fruit first and then Adam, her husband, ate it too. And that was the first rebellion by people against God. God had to keep His word or He would not be a just God. He had said, “If you eat the fruit of that tree you will suffer and die.” Man ate of the tree, and since then he has been suffering and dying.
But God had a plan. God said, “In spite of their rebellion, I am going to save the human race. I am going to send my Son to this earth.” And every step of the way the devil tried to kill God’s Son, even when He was a baby. Finally, when God’s Son was on the cross, it looked as if the devil had won a great victory, but instead the devil lost his greatest battle. When Jesus died, the devil suffered a mighty defeat, because on the third day Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The Bible says Jesus has “the keys of Hades and of Death” (Revelation 1:18). Christ is alive, and He is coming back to this earth again!
God is building His Kingdom, but the devil is also building his. Even though Satan is a defeated foe, he is still working. In the Gospel according to Matthew, Jesus said, “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart” (Matthew 13:19). Jesus pictured Satan as an enemy battling and bidding for the souls of people.
Third, the value of your soul is measured by God’s concern for saving your soul. God is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” (Mark 8:36). God sees your soul as the most valuable thing in the world, so valuable that He sent His only Son to the cross to suffer and die so that your soul may be saved. And if you were the only person in the whole universe, Christ would have died for you.Fourth, the value of your soul is measured by the severity of its loss. It is terrible when a person loses his health, or his money, or his friends, or, worse still, his character. But what about the loss of a soul?
Suppose you had all the gold in the world and all the clothes you could ever dream of owning, and you lived in a magnificent home, and owned all the oil in the Middle East.
Suppose it was all yours, but you lost your soul. Jesus said it would be a poor bargain.
Even if you could get everything you wanted, it wouldn’t give you peace. You would still be searching. Great riches cannot make you happy. Much pleasure cannot make you happy. Only the peace of God coming into your heart through Jesus Christ can bring peace and joy and happiness.Are you prepared for eternity? Are you sure that you have been born from above? The Bible says that you can be sure. The Bible says that there is a Heaven, that there is a hell. You choose where you spend eternity, and many of you are choosing right now.
Fifth, the value of your soul is measured by the price paid for its redemption. The Bible says, “knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Peter 1:18-19). What are you doing with your soul? Are you gambling with your soul, taking a chance with it?
I am asking you to make sure of your relationship with Christ. Christ demands more than just churchgoing, more than just baptism, more than just being good. He demands your total surrender—the surrender of your mind, your heart, your body, every part of you—to the Lordship of Christ. If you have a doubt in your heart that you have totally surrendered to Christ, do it now. Make sure of your salvation. Make certain that you know Christ.
Repent of your sins. Confess your sins, acknowledge them and turn from them.
Receive Jesus Christ into your heart by faith, making a total commitment to Him, and to Him alone.

Mysteries of Holy Rosary
The Traditional Mysteries of The Holy Rosary
The 15 Decade Traditional Mysteries of the Rosary (Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious) is “Mary’s Psalter” and comprise of 150 Hail Mary’s, which corresponds to the 150 Psalms of David. If you count the 3 “introductory” Hail Mary’s prayed to ask for an increase in the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, there are 153 Hail Mary’s.
The number 153 is symbolic of The Catholic Church, founded by Jesus. To name a few:
• Saint Peter caught 153 fish.
• The Rosary is comprised of 153 Hail Mary’s.
• There are 153 days between May 13 and October 13 (the first and last of the Fatima apparitions in 1917).
• In a sermon, a priest said there were 153 gallons of water that Jesus made into wine at the Wedding Feast of Cana.
Our Lady said to St. Dominic, “Preach my Psalter” meaning 15 decades of the Traditional Rosary. Our Lady asked us to pray one-third (5 decades of one mystery) of the rosary every day.
Some people pray all 15 decades of the Traditional Rosary each day or when feasible – i.e. Joyful (morning); Sorrowful (afternoon); Glorious (evening).
• One third of the Psalter of the ‘original’ Traditional 15 decades (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious Mysteries) given to Saint Dominic by Our Blessed Mother = 5.
• One third of the Psalter of the ‘modernist’ Novus Ordo 20 decades (including the Luminous Mysteries) = 6.66 (no long Mary’s Psalter).
⚜ Nuestra Señora del Pilar is the name given to an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary honored in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Saragossa, Spain.
⚜ According to medieval traditions, the Apostle Saint James (“the Greater”) was proclaiming the Gospel in Spain, to little effect. As he was feeling dejected and even questioning his mission, he experienced a vision of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Mary—who was still alive and living in Jerusalem—encouraged him to continue his work.
⚜ The tradition also claims that the apparition was standing atop a pillar carried by angels. In honor of his vision, Saint James placed an image of the Madonna and Child atop the pillar. This is the pillar which is said to be enshrined in Saragossa today.
⚜ The oldest account of this tradition dates to the 13th century and the centuries that followed saw special privileges being granted to the shrine in Saragossa.
⚜ In the 19th century, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich recounted the story of the apparition to Saint James in her collection of visions, popularly known as the Life and Passion of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
⚜ Pope Clement XII allowed the celebration of the feast of Our Lady of the Pillar to be celebrated throughout the Spanish Empire in 1730.
⚜ The Blessed Virgin Mary, under her title Nuestra Señora del Pilar, is honored as the patroness of Saragossa, Spain, several places in the Philippines, and of all Hispanic peoples.
⚜ Our Lady of the Pillar is important in the history and mission of several religious communities, most notably the Marianist Family of brothers, priests, and sisters. These communities were founded by Blessed William Joseph Chaminade who, during a period of political unrest in the years following the French Revolution, lived in Saragossa, Spain, and often visited the shrine of Our Lady of the Pillar.
⚜ For prayer and reflection
“Let the thought and the image of Our Lady of the Pillar be a forceful reminder that we walk in the footsteps of St. James and the early Christians of Hispania in following Christ. May she be for us a pillar of faith.” -
St Dominic and Devil
ST. DOMINIC AND THE DEVIL
One night, as St. Dominic was walking about the convent of S. Sabina, he met the devil in the dormitory, going like a lion seeking whom he might devour; and recognizing him, he said,
“Thou evil beast, what doest thou here?”
“I do my office,” replied the demon, “and attend to my gains.”
“And what gains dost thou make in the dormitory?” Saint Dominic asked
“Gain enough,” returned the demon. “I disquiet the friars in many ways; for first, I take the sleep away from those who desire to sleep in order that they may rise promptly for matins; and then I give an excessive heaviness to others, so that when the bell sounds, either from weariness or idleness they do not rise; or, if they rise and go to choir, it is unwillingly, and they say their office without devotion.”
Then the saint took him to the church, and said, “And what dost thou gain here?”
“Much, answered the devil; “I make them come late and leave soon. I fill them with disgusts and distractions, so that they do ill whatsoever they have to do.”
“And here?” asked Dominic, leading him to the refectory.
“Who does not eat too much or too little?” was the reply; “and so they either offend God or injure their health.”
Then the saint took him to the parlour, where the brethren were allowed to speak with seculars, and to take their recreation. And the devil began maliciously to laugh, and to leap and jump about, as if with enjoyment, and he said,
“This place is all mine own; here they laugh and joke, and hear a thousand vain stories; here they utter idle words, and grumble often at their rule and their superiors; and whatsoever they gain elsewhere they lose here.”
And lastly they came to the door of the chapterroom, but there the devil would not enter. He attempted to fly, saying,
“This place is a hell to me; here the friars accuse themselves of their faults, and receive reproof and correction, and absolution. What they have lost in every other place they regain here.”
And so saying, he disappeared, and Dominic was left greatly wondering at the snares and nets of the tempter; whereof he afterwards made a long discourse to his brethren, declaring the same unto them, that they should be on their guard.
St Dominic, Pray for us!

King David was Know As
King David was known as “a man after God’s own heart.”
David loved God, lived with passion and prayed with poetic and transparent honesty.But David was also a sinner.
He stole the wife of one of his most loyal soldiers, conceived a child by her and then to cover his deceit, murdered the man.
But once this crime was exposed by Nathan, the prophet, David turned again to God.
His prayer asking for forgiveness is written in the Bible as Psalm 51. Here’s a portion of that prayer.
O loving and kind God, have mercy. Have pity upon me and take away the awful stain of my transgressions.Oh, wash me, cleanse me from this guilt. Let me be pure again.
For I admit my shameful deed-it haunts me day and night. It is against you and you alone I sinned and did this terrible thing.
You saw it all, and your sentence against me is just. Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires.
Don’t toss me aside, banished forever from your presence.
Don’t take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me again the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. (Psalm 51:1-12 TLB)
All of us need forgiveness. If something is separating you from God, repeat this ancient prayer.Jesus came to make the hope expressed in this prayer a reality for anyone who will ask!
Psalms 51:1-19
[1]Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!
[2]Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!
[3]I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins.
[4]I have sinned against you — only against you — and done what you consider evil. So you are right in judging me; you are justified in condemning me.
[5]I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.
[6]Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom.
[7]Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
[8]Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness; and though you have crushed me and broken me, I will be happy once again.
[9]Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.
[10]Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.
[11]Do not banish me from your presence; do not take your Holy Spirit away from me.
[12]Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.
[13]Then I will teach sinners your commands, and they will turn back to you.
[14]Spare my life, O God, and save me, and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.
[15]Help me to speak, Lord, and I will praise you.
[16]You do not want sacrifices, or I would offer them; you are not pleased with burnt offerings.
[17]My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God; you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.
[18]O God, be kind to Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.[19]Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices and with our burnt offerings; and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.

False Prophet
Message to priests, Bishops and Cardinals about false prophet.
June 7, 2011fatherofloveandmercy.
My dearly beloved daughter, you have suffered because the deceiver is tormenting you. You must pray hard to resist his attacks on you. Place all your trust in Me and then let Me deal with these. Instead, you are getting upset, when you must offer this suffering to Me with joy in your heart. If you keep reminding yourself that it is because you are in union with Me that these sufferings come about and that you are truly blessed as a chosen soul, then you will feel differently.
Many of My followers are now beginning to realise what is happening in the world and through the graces of the Holy Spirit they are rising to the challenge of defending My Word. This army of the faithful will become stronger now and will fearlessly lead sinners towards salvation.
My Holy Vicar, Pope Benedict, needs your prayers. Pray for him daily for he needs protection on every level to take him through the torment that lies ahead. It is important that My followers keep alert to any new pope that may come forward for he will not be from God. Please urge all My sacred servants to prepare for the terrible challenges, the most daunting they will ever have to face in their ministry. It will take great courage to stand up to the Truth of My Teachings. So many of My sacred servants are blind to the promises I made, when I said I would come again. When did they think this would be? So used are they to reciting My Teachings that they have forgotten that they may witness these events at any time and, perhaps, even in their own lifetime. For this is one of the greatest challenges today.
If I sent prophets into the world thousands of years ago, then of course, I will send them again in the period to prepare the world for when I will come again.
Wake up to the lessons you teach your congregation. Realise that it is I who speaks to you now. Many will come in My Name, but few will speak the Truth. This Message comes from Me, your Divine Saviour. Pray for the discernment to recognise My True Voice when it is given to you. Open your hearts now and listen to what I have to tell you. The time has come, to inform you, that the prophecies contained in the Book of Revelation are about to unfold before your eyes.
You, My beloved servants, must fight with bravery, through your love for Me, against the obstacles placed by the deceiver that will challenge you to the end of your endurance. You must acknowledge that the false prophet is about to seduce you. Charm you. Convince you that he represents the Truth. You must now show your allegiance to Me, and My Eternal Father. Please do not despair. For although these events will frighten you and disturb you, your allegiance and loyalty must be to Me.
For the first time in your ministry, your faith will be truly tested now. The Church of Peter is My Church. But when the Keys are handed back to God the Father, which they will be now, the Church becomes part of My Kingdom. I Am the Truth. Follow the Truth at all times.
Pray to Me now, for the graces required to ensure you will rise above the deceit of Satan in time. Otherwise the false prophet will ensnare My beloved children through his charismatic, charmful ways, the ways of the deceiver, with whom he is entangled. Satan will not win over My Church if My servants are alert to the deceit and see it for what it is. A diabolical lie, from which, if you become involved and swear allegiance to this new abomination, there will be no return!
Hear Me now. Turn to Me for guidance and the special graces required to lead My flock back to Me and My Heavenly Father. For when you do, I will bestow such graces that it will not be long before you will find the strength to defend My Word, at all costs.
I love you all and yearn for your support during these end times.
Jesus Christ
