Greetings in Jesus and Mary... WOW - you would never guess how many times I tried to get into this account. I was beginning to think that with my last article .... I was being denied access. I prayed to St. Jude, patron saint of hopeless cases and also a favorite of my mother. I was given access. Now I pray it will publish and not fail to get to you. This is a bittersweet day. Joy in knowing we have a King of Love to celebrate. Sad in knowing that most of mankind has rejected His Love. My husband and I went to early Mass today at the Carmelite Monastery and prayed a Rosary on the way back home after that soul stirring homily about how the world will be chastised because we have not honored Our King! We have placed others or things before Him. I could not help but cry during the Rosary over the thought of how the majority of the world has failed Him...by not giving Him Adoration, Praise and Thanksgiving for ALL THAT HE HAS GIVEN TO US AND PROMISES US FOR THE FUTURE! Thoughts of my children were in those sad tears. I lit a candle before St. Joseph to beg his intercession for my children, my family and all those who have turned away from their King of Love. There is so much to say about this feast. I have decided to give you a link to the audiobook, "They Have Uncrowned Him" by Archbishop LeFebrve. He knew WAY BACK IN THE DAY while others were sleeping and not being Church Militant that Jesus, Our King was uncrowned. This book explains it. I hope you take some time to listen or order the book to read. May we continue to fight to bring the Reign of Christ Our King to the world by praying our Rosaries (the weapon against Satan) and ask the Eternal Father to give us the Reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary very soon so that She will prepare the world for Jesus Our King to be enthroned on the hearts of all of mankind!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary... We are at war. They are after everyone but especially our children. May we offer reparation and pray for peace with our Rosary. This information below is so sad and is going on around the world. May we wake up and do ALL that we can to stop this with our prayers and with our actions! Be aware of your proposals on your November ballots. In Michigan we have a radical Proposal that will take away parents rights to protect their own children and also give abortionists greater freedom....which is to be incorporated into the Michigan Constitution. (last video) (Please pray this does not pass....and that ALL the states are protected from these evil proposals...for the sake of our babies and our country) Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! Intentional harm to our children...
Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Below is a video of a prophesy of Marie Julie Jahenny of France... Also, here is a brief biography of this woman.... Prophecies of Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother on the New Mass, the Novus Ordo Missae, and the New Sacraments were given to Marie-Julie Jahenny. Marie-Julie Jahenny, Stigmatist and Mystic of the Roman Catholic Church [b. at Blain, Brittany (Northwestern France) was born on Tuesday, February 12, 1850 d. at La Fraudais, a short distance Northeast of Blain, Brittany on died on Tuesday, March 4, 1941 and is perhaps the greatest mystic in the history of the Church. Shortly after her birth, she was Baptized on Ash Wednesday, 1850. She was the eldest of five children. She was brought up by her simple, good parents in that lively faith for which Bretons are renowned. Her Mother was very devoted to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary and poured that tender love into the pure heart of her daughter who, while still young, showed a great love of prayer, of the Cross, and of mortifications, which, with the consent of her parents, she eagerly practiced. When she was 16 years old, Marie-Julie was placed in the service of a family. But her weak constitution allowed her to remain there only six months because Divine Providence desired her to live as a victim-soul in reparation for the crimes of mankind against their Creator, which the young French maiden gladly embraced with her whole being. Our Lord favored her with many graces from the time of her First Holy Communion, graces to which she corresponded with ever increasing devotion. She joined the Franciscan Third Order when she was in her early twenties in order to better help to sanctify herself in the world. Concerning the mission of Marie-Julie, Our Blessed Lord confided to her: “...the happy Marguerite-Marie was selected to publish the glory of my Sacred Heart and you (Marie-Julie), you are selected to publish the glory of my Cross.” In 1873 she received from Heaven that most remarkable mystic gift, the Stigmata. From the age of twenty-three until her death, some sixty years later, she bore in her body the Wounds of Our Lord to a more visible degree than had any other stigmatist in the Church’s history. In addition to the Five Wounds of the Sacred Hands, Feet and Side, Marie-Julie suffered the Wounds inflicted by the Crown of Thorns and the Cross on Our Lord's Sacred Head and Shoulder respectively, the Wounds of His Scourging, those caused by the ropes with which He was bound, as well as other Wounds of a more mystical nature. As a result she was called “The Breton Stigmatist”. Henceforth, Marie-Julie lived her life of co-redemptive suffering (as a victim soul) in a little cottage in the hamlet of La Fraudais, Northeast of Blain. She thus fulfilled Our Blessed Lord’s desire for her to make reparation for the sins of France and the world. She was favored with frequent visions of Jesus and Mary, as well as many prophetic lights. Related to what is going on today....the below prophesies are relevant. ...... She speaks of a “horrible religion” which would replace the Catholic Faith, and she saw “many, many bishops” embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion”. Marie-Julie Jahenny is 100% correct again! This “horrible religion” which would replace the Catholic Faith, and the “many, many bishops” she saw embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion” is the religion of Vatican 2, which was “birthed” by the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist infiltrators, including those “four cardinals within the Vatican who were working for” the Communist Party. Here are Marie-Julies’s prophecies concerning the Novus Ordo Missae, a.k.a. the New Mass. Marie-Julie saw that “there will not remain any vestige of the Holy Sacrifice, no apparent trace of faith. Confusion will be everywhere...” On Saturday, November 27, 1902, the 72nd anniversary of the Miraculous Medal Apparition [Saturday, November 27, 1830], Our Lord warned of the conspiracy of evil people which was already inventing a new liturgy - this was in 1902!!! - to replace the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. There is more in the links below...Let us remember that Marie-Julie was not the only person to whom terrible prophecies were given. For example, Sister Lucia, one of the three Fatima visionaries, said: “...she [The Most Blessed Virgin Mary] told me that the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Virgin. And a decisive battle is the final battle where one side will be victorious and the other side will suffer defeat. Hence from now on we must choose sides. Either we are for God or we are for the devil. There is no other possibility.” (Sister Lucia to Fr. Fuentes, December, 1957) The above was taken from ....https://idoc.pub/documents/prophecies-of-marie-julie-jahenny-pqn82m56p8n1 Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Please read the post below this one. I just posted it today on enrolling our deceased loved ones for November Masses. I felt this article was important to do today. As all of us are aware. talk of WW3 is now not just read on sites such as mine but all over. It is no longer a "conspiracy theory"...it is imminent. In this month of the Rosary, we should be taking up this weapon and praying the Rosary as Our Lady had asked for peace to come to the world. It came to me today that having blessed salt and Holy Water is critical for all to have on hand, but in our new Conciliar Church...there are some obstacles in acquiring these....therefore, the need for this article. We just celebrated St. Teresa of Avila's feast day and one of her famous quotes is: “From long experience I have learned that there is nothing like holy water to put devils to flight and prevent them from coming back again. They also flee from the cross, but return; so holy water must have great value.” Every household should have blessed exorcised salt and blessed exorcised holy water today. ALSO....If you have not had your home blessed...schedule this as well. Place an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a prominent place and have the enthronement as well. In addressing the issues of acquiring these sacramentals...I have to mention that Pope Francis is working TIRELESSLY to dismantle what is left of the Catholic Church. Therefore, obtaining these sacramentals while we can might be wise. All of us needs to know that since Vatican II...MUCH HAS BEEN CHANGED. I will reprint from an article that I wrote in 2018 about the changes to the blessing of Holy Water...mostly taken from Father Z's blog at the time. If you are seeking Blessed Salt and Holy Water....you must also find a priest that will bless these items from the OLD RITE....not the new. You can do your own homework on the internet to see the difference and also the difference of the Rite of Baptism...our children are not getting exorcised water or salt at their baptisms. Below is a reprint for your info....please acquire these items before war hits America and have them in your blessed homes. Take care and God bless! Taken from my article written 2/8/2018 "Is It Holy Water???" The Conciliar Church has changed the rite of the blessing of Holy Water. There is a big difference in the water. First, the new rite has no exorcism but it also is blessed differently. Here are some explanations I found on Fr. Z’s blog - He wrote the following: In the new post-Conciliar book of blessings “Missale Romanum”, only a couple of the prayers in the book explicitly bless something. All the rest refer to the blessings God could give to someone nearby, or around the place, or who might look in the direction of something, etc. The book attempts to change the Church’s theology about blessings, effectively trying to eliminate the concept of the constitutive blessing and reducing every prayer and action to an invocative blessing. In his review of the Ordo ad faciendam aquam benedictam, used outside Mass to “bless” water, even though he found a rubric that says that the “celebrans… dicit orationem benedictionis… the celebrant … says the prayer of blessing” and there are three options that follow, he cannot find in any of the three prayers, in the Latin mind you, an explicit statement that the water is to be blessed water. These paragraphs use the word “blessing” throughout and the prayers ask for blessings on those on whom the water is sprinkled. Also, the “celebrans” can be a deacon, which is not possible in the older rite, with the traditional Rituale Romanum. Here is the first of the new prayers as an example: Benedictus es, Domine, Deus omnipotens, qui nos in Christo, aqua viva salutis nostrae, benedicere dignatus es et intus reformare: concede ut qui huius aquae aspersione vel usu munimur, renovata animae iuventute per virtutem Sancti Spiritus in novitate vitae iugiter ambulemus. Blessed are you, Lord, Almighty God, who deigned to bless us in Christ, the living water of our salvation, and to reform us interiorly, grant that we who are fortified by the sprinkling of or use of this water, the youth of the spirit being renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit, may walk always in newness of life. The other prayers are not more explicit. The difference with the older rite is not just that there is no exorcism or blending of exorcised and blessed salt. There is no explicit act of blessing. The fact that a deacon can use this rite means that it is not connected to the power of the priestly office. The words don’t say the water is blessed. In the older rite, which priests can use (reason #4378 for why we needed Summorum Pontificum) first salt is exorcised and then blessed. Then water is exorcised and then blessed. In the exorcism of the salt and the water, the two elements are addressed directly, personally, in the second person. By this exorcism they are entirely and without question ripped from the domination of the “Prince of this World”, as our Lord calls our Enemy. Then they are blessed with explicit words and gestures of blessings. Here are the prayers for the exorcism and the blessing the water (before the exorcised blessed salt is added), with his emphasis: God’s creature, water, I cast out the demon from you in the name of God + the Father almighty, in the name of Jesus + Christ, His Son, our Lord, and in the power of the Holy + Spirit. May you be a purified water, empowered to drive afar all power of the enemy, in fact, to root out and banish the enemy himself, along with his fallen angels. We ask this through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is coming to judge both the living and the dead and the world by fire. All: Amen. O God, Who for man’s welfare established the most wonderful mysteries in the substance of water, hearken to our prayer, and pour forth your blessing + on this element now being prepared with various purifying rites. May this creature of yours, used in your mysteries and endowed with your grace, serve to cast out demons and to banish disease. May everything that this water sprinkles in the homes and gatherings of the faithful be delivered from all that is unclean and hurtful; let no breath of contagion hover there, no taint of corruption; let all the wiles of the lurking enemy come to nothing. By the sprinkling of this water may everything opposed to the safety and peace of the occupants of these homes be banished, so that in calling on Your Holy Name they may know the well-being they desire, and be protected from every peril; through Christ our Lord. All: Amen. In the newer prayer, we pray that people have spiritual benefits, because we are invoking God’s blessing. The water is a symbol of those blessings. In the older prayer something entirely different seems to be going on. The water is taken from the realm of the profane and made something of the sacred realm. Then the water is used to bring about the things we pray, through God’s power of course, but by the use of the water. Use of the water is a direct contradiction to the powers of evil who wish us harm. (Who would want to change this and Why?) Furthermore, the water which has been blessed has itself now a role in the blessing of other things. Consider the principle that something cannot give what it does not have. That said, the rite of blessing water during Mass found in the newer, Ordinary Form Missale Romanum, includes the words: “… dignare, quaesumus, hanc aquam + benedicere… deign, we implore, to bless + this water… “ The second option (aren’t there always options in the Novus Ordo?) has: “…hanc aquam, te quaesumus, + benedicas... we implore You that You + bless this water… “ Mind you, there is no exorcism of the water in the newer Missale Romanum during Mass. And keep in mind that in the older rite, the water was blessed outside of Mass. Blessing of Easter water is a special rite. CONCLUSION: There is a world of difference, of sensibility, of theology, between what we find in the newer Missale Romanum and what we find De benedictionibus. Therefore, I exhort you to get some Holy Water blessed in the OLD RITE and use it in your homes, every day, on your children, on your grandchildren, on the sick and aged ----- daily. In Chapter 31 of St. Teresa of Avila’s Autobiography, she tells of a time that she was harassed by a demon and her use of Holy Water: “Out of his body there seemed to be coming a great flame, which was intensely bright and cast no shadow. He told me in a horrible way that I had indeed escaped out of his hands but he would get hold of me still.” Frightened, she tried to shoo him away with the Sign of the Cross. The demon left her, but soon returned. This happened several times, until she noticed she had some holy water nearby. “So I flung some in the direction of the apparition,” she wrote, “and it never came back.” Another time, she wrote, “the devil was with me for five hours, torturing me with such terrible pains and both inward and outward disquiet that I do not believe I could have endured them any longer. The sisters who were with me were frightened to death and had no more idea of what to do for me than I had of how to help myself.” She only found relief after she requested holy water and threw some to the place where she saw a demon nearby. It’s in her explanation of all of this that the famous quote comes in..... “From long experience I have learned that there is nothing like holy water to put devils to flight and prevent them from coming back again. They also flee from the Cross, but return; so holy water must have great virtue.” (when blessed right!) She continues: “For my own part, whenever I take it, my soul feels a particular and most notable consolation. In fact, it is quite usual for me to be conscious of a refreshment which I cannot possibly describe, resembling an inward joy which comforts my whole soul. “This is not fancy, or something which has happened to me only once: it has happened again and again and I have observed it most attentively. It is, let us say, as if someone very hot and thirsty were to drink from a jug of cold water: he would feel the refreshment throughout his body. I often reflect on the great importance of everything ordained by the Church and it makes me very happy to find that those words of the Church are so powerful that they impart their power to the water and make it so very different from water which has not been blessed.” WARNING TO ALL – It is critical that you go to a priest that uses the Old Rite in Blessing the Salt and Holy Water or the demons will NOT be put to flight! Use it daily in your homes! Get some very soon! Our Lady of Mt. Carmel – pray for us and all priests! Greetings in Jesus and Mary... There is so much to write about and pray about right now. Things are happening at lightening speed in the world and in the Church. So much destruction and dismantling as if Satan himself was at the helm of the ship. Yes, it feels like we are on the Titanic and it is sinking quickly. We need to jump in the lifeboat of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and sail safely to the the Sacred Heart of Jesus. May we take heed of these words and consecrate ourselves and our families and pray the Rosary daily for help during these trying times in history. The above words seems unrelated to my title but truly they are related. During these trying times, it is easy to forget our deceased loved ones. Everything is so upside down. Many families are even neglecting to get the Last Sacraments to their dying relatives because it is so uncomfortable to talk of death even when it is imminent. THIS IS WRONG! The Sacraments offer much grace and healing and will definitely help the soul prepare for death. Let us not be lax in this. Also, let us not forget them after death. November is coming up and the "Sisters of Carmel" always offer the opportunity for us to enroll our deceased loved ones that have gone before us into the Masses offered for the dead during November. There is a minimum donation of $10 but please consider more to these sisters. This is a way to support many religious communities who offer this kind service during the month of November. Below is a link for anyone to enroll your loved ones before October 29th. We have the next 10 days to get them on the list. God bless your day and continue to pray your Rosary this month of October and always. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Today is the feast of St. Teresa of Jesus of the Order of Carmel. She is known as the great reformer which she is. At her time in history, the Carmelites were lax and not as disciplined as in previous times. Our Lord wanted her to make reforms to bring it back to prayer and austerity for His greater glory and for the salvation of souls. I am reprinting this from a previous article of mine because we need it today as well. Below, I have included a video of her account on her vision of hell. This was more of a means of motivation for her to take on all the sufferings WHICH WERE MANY in order to achieve what God had intended for her to do in order to reform the Carmelite Order and to draw souls to Him and to be able to help Him and Our Lady win many many souls through their love, prayers and sufferings. Do we need another reform???? NOW MORE THAN EVER - not just in the way of disciplines but in the way of doctrine as well. This makes it more important and more dire than in the days of St. Teresa!! We are denying the very principles that the Carmelite Order was built upon. Needless to say - this is the reason for this website. We are living in a time when it is difficult in the Novus Ordo Church to allow such a reform to happen - Now I can quote Pope Francis as saying...."we are going forward - we are modernizing - we are NOT going back." He has been slamming traditional Catholics as backward and many like minded men of the Church have infiltrated ALL THE ORDERS with the same message. We should be Church militant and fight for the Traditions of the Church at all corners. I have met with resistance to this - "Going back to Tradition" in the Carmelite Order. I believe the entire Catholic Church WILL go back to Tradition in time - until then -- we have to deal with the modernists and do what we can behind closed doors. Remember St. Pius X stated that modernism is the synthesis of ALL HERESIES and therefore with these words from an incorrupt Pope, we can be sure not to follow modernism. Oh and to answer the above question....yes Suffering and Hell are for all eternity for those who refuse God. May we pray for many conversions and offer reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for the sins of the world with our Latin Masses and our Rosaries! St. Teresa pray that we may have determined determination to draw closer to God and unite ourselves to His Most Holy Will in imitation of our Blessed Mother! Our Lady of Mt. Carmel pray for us. St. Teresa pray for us. NOTE: This vision of hell is to help all of us endure all the sufferings in this life so that we can be with our Lord and our Lady in the next. May we strive to do the Will of God and nothing else as St. Teresa did. May we frequent this vision and description by her as a motivation....as it was for her. Of course, all of our actions should be done with great love for God and not out of fear. God is Love! If we focus on His Love, we will grow in His Love. Living in this world, we need an occasional reminder that we have consequences to doing OUR OWN WILL OVER GOD'S. Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Today we celebrate the day when our Good God allowed a miracle through the prayers and intercession of Our Blessed Mother at Fatima, Portugal, October 13, 1917. The miracle was the miracle of the sun. Why a miracle of the sun? Why did Our Lady want God to give us this? What is the significance of this miracle? The following could be a clue....A message given at Akita on October 13, 1973 and approved by the Church almost 10 years later on April 22, 1984. At Akita, On October 13, 1973....Our Lady told Sr. Agnes Sasagawa the following...... "My dear daughter, listen well to what I have to say to you. You will inform your superior." After a short silence: "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests." "The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. "The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them" "With courage, speak to your superior. He will know how to encourage each one of you to pray and to accomplish works of reparation." "It is Bishop Ito, who directs your community." And She smiled and then said: "You have still something to ask? Today is the last time that I will speak to you in living voice. From now on you will obey the one sent to you and your superior." "Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved." OUR LADY OF FATIMA....PRAY FOR US! (The below video is Dr. Miravelle who is a contemporary theologian. With this topic, I felt his message needs to be heard...Although, I personally have problems with Our Lady of All Nations and he mentions this in his talk...that is not my focus here. There are very few talks relating Fatima with Akita and I felt this was worthy of posting. Bishop Sheen was of the same mindset of the Miracle of the Sun.) Greetings in Jesus and Mary... October 7th is already upon us and we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary. When my kids were small, there were reasons at times when I could not bring them to morning Mass and I would go myself leaving the teenagers in charge of the younger siblings. It was a time when I knew nothing of the Latin Mass. I did not grow up with it. I grew up in a liberal Detroit suburb with the Novus Ordo Mass. I truly believe that the Blessed Mother led me to all of my present day devotions. I prayed my Rosary. Well, one morning when I set off to Mass on October 7th, 2004 (I remember the year because my youngest was 6), I came back to find my kids eating breakfast. In conversation, I complained that our Pastor did not even mention the Rosary at Mass for the feast day. My six year old son turned to me and said, "When I am a bishop, I will teach all my priests to pray the Rosary!" A mother would never forget that! I told him that he can not just be a bishop....he said he knew he had to be a priest first. That innocent six year old is now a grown man who has fallen away from his faith and no longer goes to Mass. He is tempted to believe that he was traumatized by religion and doubts that there even is a God. Please pray for my Dominic who there is hope for because he is consecrated to Our Lady and has a deceased holy priest for a Godfather. These are the times we are living in.... a priest who does not know of the Rosary and a youth who is tempted by the many deceptions of the world. St. Louis deMontfort said that in these difficult end days, if one does not have a TRUE DEVOTION to Mary...one will perish. She is the one appointed by God to crush the head of the serpent! We MUST hold Her hand, wear Her Scapular and pray Her Rosary! WHY? Because She asked us to and God desires it. In the last apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, October 13, 1917. (Date of the Miracle of the Sun), Our Lady appeared as the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. In one hand She held the Rosary and in the other the Brown Scapular. Sister Lucia told Father Fuentes, who interviewed her in the 1950's, that the Rosary and the Scapular are inseparable. Also, Our Blessed Mother told St. Dominic that the Rosary and the Scapular would ONE DAY SAVE THE WORLD. That day is today! Below is a 6 minute powerful video chosen from the many videos found on the Rosary. This is short and sweet and to the point. THE ROSARY IS POWERFUL! We are now in the beginning of WW3 and the next coming months and possible year are going to be very difficult. The Rosary will bring peace to our own hearts and to the world. May we find the love and zeal to honor our tender, loving Mother's wishes and pray Her Rosary daily with great love and devotion! Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! St. Lucia, Francesco and Jacinta, pray for us! St. Dominic, pray for us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... In this month of the Most Holy Rosary, we are struggling to give Our Lady our prayers, penances and sacrifices in order to show our love and repair for the sins we see all around us... and there are too many sins to mention. I think we are all conscious of them and they are wearisome for all of us. We know we must move forward in faith, hope and love. We know we can trust in the grace of God to get us through but there are moments when we just want to fall to the ground and weep over what we are experiencing and seeing before our eyes. We can also offer these sad moments to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary Who are also weeping over the tremendous decline in the Church and in the world. This link below is a 30 minute video of a pilgrimage of faith, hope and love. Pilgrimages were done so often in past Catholic history. They were invigorating to the soul because of the graces received for such an act of love and sacrifice. In the lives of the saints, we read how pilgrimages were done to receive significant graces for a particular favor. After watching this video, I would like to ask all who view this to consider making the commitment to make a small pilgrimage somewhere near you (or far) this October in honor of Our Lord and Our Lady. May we pray for the preservation of traditions of the Catholic faith that bring us so much grace and therefore closer to God. May we pray for the preservation of the Latin Mass....the Mass of ALL AGES. The unbloody sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ. May we pray for those who have fallen away from God....and there are many! May we pray for the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary so that Jesus may reign in the hearts of men all over the world! Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy upon us! Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Today is the Feast of St. Therese in the Traditional Calendar. I have printed the beautiful prayer she wrote and offered to God ...her act of Merciful Love...we should truly be praying this prayer as well during this time of such coldness and indifference in the Church and in the world. Have a blessed day! Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us! St. Therese, pray for us! St. Therese's Offering to Merciful Love O My God! Most Blessed Trinity, I desire to Love You and make You Loved, to work for the glory of Holy Church by saving souls on earth and liberating those suffering in purgatory. I desire to accomplish Your will perfectly and to reach the degree of glory You have prepared for me in Your Kingdom. I desire, in a word, to be a saint, but I feel my helplessness and I beg You, O my God! to be Yourself my Sanctity! Since You loved me so much as to give me Your only Son as my Savior and my Spouse, the infinite treasures of His merits are mine. I offer them to You with gladness, begging You to look upon me only in the Face of Jesus and in His heart burning with Love. I offer You, too, all the merits of the saints (in heaven and on earth), their acts of Love, and those of the holy angels. Finally, I offer You, O Blessed Trinity! the Love and merits of the Blessed Virgin, my dear Mother. It is to her I abandon my offering, begging her to present it to You. Her Divine Son, my Beloved Spouse, told us in the days of His mortal life: "Whatsoever you ask the Father in my name he will give it to you!" I am certain, then, that You will grant my desires; I know, O my God! that the more You want to give, the more You make us desire. I feel in my heart immense desires and it is with confidence I ask You to come and take possession of my soul. Ah! I cannot receive Holy Communion as often as I desire, but, Lord, are You not allpowerful? Remain in me as in a tabernacle and never separate Yourself from Your little victim. I want to console You for the ingratitude of the wicked, and I beg of You to take away my freedom to displease You. If through weakness I sometimes fall, may Your Divine Glance cleanse my soul immediately, consuming all my imperfections like the fire that transforms everything into itself. I thank You, O my God! for all the graces You have granted me, especially the grace of making me pass through the crucible of suffering. It is with joy I shall contemplate You on the Last Day carrying the scepter of Your Cross. Since You deigned to give me a share in this very precious Cross, I hope in heaven to resemble You and to see shining in my glorified body the sacred stigmata of Your Passion. After earth's Exile, I hope to go and enjoy You in the Fatherland, but I do not want to lay up merits for heaven. I want to work for Your Love alone with the one purpose of pleasing You, consoling Your Sacred Heart, and saving souls who will love You eternally. In the evening of this life, I shall appear before You with empty hands, for I do not ask You, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is stained in Your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in Your own Justice and to receive from Your Love the eternal possession of Yourself. I want no other Throne, no other Crown but You, my Beloved! Time is nothing in Your eyes, and a single day is like a thousand years. You can, then, in one instant prepare me to appear before You. In order to live in one single act of perfect Love, I OFFER MYSELF AS A VICTIM OF HOLOCAUST TO YOUR MERCIFUL LOVE, asking You to consume me incessantly, allowing the waves of infinite tenderness shut up within You to overflow into my soul, and that thus I may become a martyr of Your Love, O my God! May this martyrdom, after having prepared me to appear before You, finally cause me to die and may my soul take its flight without any delay into the eternal embrace of Your Merciful Love. I want, O my Beloved, at each beat of my heart to renew this offering to You an infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared I may be able to tell You of my Love in an Eternal Face to Face! BONUS..... Due to St. Therese devotion to the Infant Jesus and His Most Holy Face....Here is another prayer for our time! Prayer of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus Eternal Father, as we gaze upon the beautiful Infant Face of Jesus, we would like to offer Thee His Precious Face that was once covered with blood, sweat, dust and spittle during His Passion, in reparation for the crimes of communists, blasphemers, and for the profaners of the Holy Name and of the Holy Day of Sunday. |
