 Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
I pray all of you will have a blessed Christmas...I will post a prayer to St. Therese of the Child Jesus below. May she intercede for us and shower us with the graces found in the Heart of the Infant Jesus. I will not be posting here for a while because I am leaving out of state to help one of my daughters who is having another baby and will be needing help. I will not be back till the end of January so I will not be posting anything on this website until then but I would like to encourage all to check out the articles written in years past...there are so many. I am amazed that I have been doing this since 2017. Please keep my daughter Margaret in prayer. I will come back the end of January to give the update and change the info in the corner of this page to 9 grandchildren. God is very good. Please pray for safe travels and health for all during my stay. I thank you! Below is a prayer to St. Therese of the Child Jesus found in an old novena book... O Dear St. Therese, friend and spouse of the Child Jesus, we humbly thank you for the manifold blessings which you have procured for us from the throne of God's infinite mercy! To you the glowing star in this night of modern materialism, we turn for guidance and for assistance. Fill the minds of both our boys and girls with the lofty, yet simple ideas of purity, obedience and sacrifice. Soften the hardened hearts of every sinner so that he will know how sweet it is to serve our Lord Jesus Christ! Relying upon your promise to shower down roses from your heavenly throne we beseech you to be our powerful intercessor before Jesus Christ. Beg Him to send down blessings of health to those who have besought Him; to shower down happiness on those hearts that are ladened with grief. Fill our souls with faith, with hope and with love. And especially pray that we may receive the gift of final perseverance so that when life's stormy day has passed we may join you in the garden courts of heaven to shower down roses on those whom we, too, will leave behind. O Father in Heaven, Who through St. Therese of the Child Jesus, do desire to remind the world of the merciful Love that fills Your Heart, and the childlike trust we should have in You, humbly we thank You for having crowned with so great glory Your ever faithful child, and for giving her wondrous power to bring unto You, day by day, innumerable souls who will praise You eternally. St. Therese of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, pray for us. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us. Good St. Joseph, pray for us. Dearest Infant Jesus, bless us.

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
They did not recognize Jesus because He did not come as they had expected.....pomp and splendor but instead....in poverty and lowliness. What an incentive it is for us to embrace poverty and humility...it is so far away from the thinkings of the world. On the hillside of Bethlehem were caves or grottos which served as stables for donkeys and cattle. This is the Will of God where His Son was to be born...not in the populated inn where most stayed for shelter. How bitterly cold, poor and lacking in comforts this place was for the Newborn King. Joseph and Mary are quiet and content because they have surrender themselves to the profound wisdom and providence of the Almighty Father. In prayer and vigil, both Joseph and Mary prepare the best they can a dwelling for the awaited Messiah...the greatest event since the creation of the world. This poverty is such a contradiction already to the world that seeks comforts for all of its senses. May we understand that when discomforts come our way, they are meant to form us and to lead us to the only joy.......Jesus! May we make room for Him in our hearts today and prepare them for Him to dwell there....now and for all eternity. "Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be lifted up, ye ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in." Holy Mother Mary, please prepare our hearts to receive their King!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary... Well, we are nearing the last week of Advent. Yesterday started the O Antiphon Devotion - link below if you would like to pray these. This post is part of what I had posted in 2021 when the world was a bit crazier than today (if you can even measure that) If you are keeping up with the news in the Church and in the world...we are nearing full blown world-wide communism as foretold by Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 as a consequence of turning away from God. Also, signs in the heavens are pointing to nature calamities. Also, there have been talks for quite awhile...WW3 has already begun but it is just not FULL BLOWN YET. This post will be about prayers to cry out to Heaven for help. As we know, the Fatima prayers were given to us for this exact time and place. We must continue daily to offer up the taught prayers of reparation as well as the daily Rosary for Our Lady's help.....knowing that in the end .... Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph. We must live in this hope because She has promised it! Unfortunately, we must suffer until that day comes for the sins that have accumulated over time since WW2....and there are many!! Since we have started the "O Antiphons" yesterday, I would like to stress (as in the past) that devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus is very powerful! We can contemplate the love and joy of Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, and the three wise men as they gazed upon the beautiful Infant Face of our Lord and King! Let us make this one of our daily meditations throughout the entire Christmas season. As an act of reparation, let us offer many Holy Face prayers....I have included one here...but there are many as well as the Golden Arrow. These prayers are in reparation for the sins committed against the first three commandments which include Freemasonry and Communism. 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. ALSO LET US BEG OUR LADY OF FATIMA TO BRING PEACE BACK TO OUR WORLD AND INTO OUR CHURCH......MAY HER IMMACULATE HEART REIGN AND MAY WE BE INSTRUMENTS OF PEACE WITH OUR REPARATION PRAYERS FOR THIS REQUEST.... Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima against Communism O Queen of Fatima, in this hour of so many dangers for the Americas and the world, turn away from us the scourge of atheistic communism. Do not allow communist regimes, which deny all the Commandments of God, to be established in the many countries born and formed under the sacred influence of Christian civilization. Therefore, O Lady, send forth the graces of Your Flame of Love which is Jesus into the hearts of all people so that the reign of Your Son and Our Lord Jesus Christ may come to the entire world. Help us always to remember that: 1. The Ten Commandments commands us, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart,” “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain,” and “Thou shalt keep holy the Sabbath day”; whereas atheistic communism does everything to extinguish the Faith, to lead men to blasphemy, and to create obstacles to the normal and peaceful celebration of worship; 2. The Ten Commandments commands us, “Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother,” “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.” Now communism strives to break the ties between parents and children, turning their education over to the State. Communism denies the value of virginity and teaches that marriage can be dissolved for any reason, at the mere wish of one of the spouses. 3. The Ten Commandments command us, “Thou shalt not steal,” and “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.” Communism denies private property and its very important social function; 4. The Ten Commandments command us to “not kill.” Communism employs wars of conquest as a means of ideological expansion and promotes revolutions and crimes all over the world; 5. The Ten Commandments command us to “not bear false witness,” whereas communism systematically uses lies as weapons of propaganda. Intervene, holy Mother Mary, so that all the peoples of the entire world may receive the necessary graces to resolutely hinder the steps of communist infiltration, in order that the glorious day of victory which Thou didst predict at Fatima with these words so filled with hope and sweetness will be fulfilled: IN THE END, MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH! Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! St. Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for us! Holy Face of Jesus, have mercy upon us! THE ABOVE VIDEO SHOWS HOW SATAN HATES JESUS AND HE HATES WHEN CATHOLICS LOVE JESUS THROUGH THE LATIN MASS (UNBLOODY SACRIFICE OF JESUS ON THE CROSS WHICH BRINGS GRACES TO THE ENTIRE WORLD) AND........WHEN WE KNEEL TO RECEIVE THE REAL BODY BLOOD SOUL AND DIVINITY OF JESUS IT STIRS HATE IN THE ENEMIES HEARTS ....REPARATION...REPARATION...REPARATION!
GRACES RECEIVED FOR THE WORLD THROUGH THE LATIN MASS MUST BE THWARTED IF THE SATANISTS ARE TO GAIN GROUND! WE MUST RESIST AND FIGHT FOR JESUS!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Happy Third Week of Advent. Time is always flying by! I hope your Gaudete Sunday was joyful. After Mass, my husband and I helped my brother with his extensive train setup in preparation for when his adult children and grandkids come to visit from other states next week. It was a flash back in time...we were all kids again putting the village, tracks, lights and people in their places. It came out nice and his grand kids should have big eyes when it gets lit up and the trains and trolleys zip through the city! Super fun! I love Advent because we not only anticipate the birth of Jesus at Christmas but are reminded that we also live in anticipation of Our Lord's Second Coming! Also, the Church reminds us that He whose glorious coming we await on Christmas, is already in our midst as well. He abides in our soul by His graces! We receive Him in Holy Communion each time we go to Mass. His life within us is a veiled one, mysterious, not to be seen with bodily eyes, not perceptible by natural means. "Your life," says St. Paul, "is hidden with Christ in God." (Col. 3:3) It is this life in Christ and with Christ that we can see a new, strong reason for the joy of Advent. This life through grace which we live is the fruit of that first Christmas. It is this grace which we pray may be strengthened in us on every Christmas day, as we draw closer to that great Christmas at the end of time, when the Saviour will appear again to consummate our redemption. In grace, we already possess that festive robe in which we are to await the coming of the Bridegroom for the heavenly nuptials. With grace, we possess the blissful certainty that we too, as St. Paul states, "will appear with Him in glory" (Col 3:4) HOW MUCH REASON, TRULY DO WE HAVE TO REJOICE! Our entire lives and every minute of our lives should be lived with this great goal in mind....our last end! Let us listen to St. John the Baptist during this Advent and all of our lives for that glorious end....AND ....."Prepare ye the way of the Lord!" Prayer: "O God, with reverent admiration, with praise and thanks, I behold the wondrous preparation You did make for Your beloved Son, our Redeemer, over thousands of years. Grant that I too may zealously prepare the way for Him and His grace in my soul! Grant that my preparation may become perfect in silence and solitude, so that I may truly say in the holy night of Christmas: "While all things were in quiet silence, Your Almighty Word lept down from Your royal thone!" (Wisdom 14:18) Holy Mother of God, pray for us to prepare well for the coming of Your Son not only for Christmas, His Second Coming but EACH TIME we receive Him in Holy Communion!  Greetings in Jesus and Mary...
Tomorrow is the First Saturday of December, Monday is Dec. 8th, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and also within this month (Dec. 10th) marks the 100th anniversary of when Sr. Lucia received the message for all of us to practice the Five First Saturdays in reparation to Her Immaculate Heart. How very very sad that this message has been thwarted for the 100 years that it has existed. How amazing the world would look if our Church leaders had asked all of us to offer the Five First Saturdays...not just once but always. I challenge all priests who are in charge of a parish to start if they have not already done so...to offer the Five First Saturdays along with time for confessions, Rosary and time to meditate before the Blessed Sacrament as Our Blessed Mother had asked. In a huge way, Fatima is the message of devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In the first apparition of Our Lady, She had asked for reparation for all the blasphemies and offences against Her Immaculate Heart. At the second apparition, Our Lady told Sr. Lucia, "You must remain longer on earth. Jesus wishes to use you in making me known and loved. He wishes to spread in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace this devotion. Their souls will be loved by God with a love of predilection, like flowers placed by Me before His throne!" When Lucia appeared sad about being left here on earth longer than Francesco and Jacinta, Our Lady said to her, "I shall never abandon you, My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God." In the third apparition....Our Lady showed the three children hell and said this...." You have just seen hell where poor sinners go. To save them, the Lord wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace. The war is coming to an end.. But if men do not cease offending the Lord, a worse war will begin in the reign of Pope Pius XI." She added....."I shall ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, as well as communion of reparation on the first Saturday of the month. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. Otherwise, Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and several nations will be annihilated. The above news is very grim and is one of the reasons why Rome has held it from the Church .....but the consoling words of Our Lady are..."My Immaculate Heart will finally triumph. Russia will be converted and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world; Portugal will keep the faith." How amazing the world would look if we kept to what Our Lady had asked of us and took Her message seriously. Rome does not want doom and gloom (nor anyone else). If we keep our heads in the sand and ignore the sins around us maybe it will all go away. This thinking is unbelievable....we are on the brink of a major chastisement because we have not fulfilled the requests of Our Good Mother and Queen Who is only trying to help us avert the dangers that lie ahead. Well, we can come to the conclusion that we are not only going to be chastised for sin and disobedience but also we have learned a beautiful message.... the message of Fatima (and Lourdes) reveal that Our Lady WAS conceived Immaculate....free from all sin....free from the bondage of Satan.....free to be truly united to the Will of God at all times. We can be certain of this! May we practice the Five First Saturday in reparation of the sins commited against Her Immaculate Heart not only committed in the world but now in Rome itself (which should alarm all of us that a chastisement is close at hand!) We still have time....not sure how much but each day is a blessing and we can offer the reparation prayers taught at Fatima daily and we can honor Our Mother's Immaculate Heart and beg Her to show us the way to Her Son's Most Sacred Heart! O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee! |
