MEMORARE TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS



Memorare to The Sacred Heart of Jesus

Remember, O most kind Jesus, that
none who have had recourse to Your
Sacred Heart, implored its assistance,
or called for mercy, have ever been
abandoned. Filled, and animated by
this same confidence, O divine Heart,
Ruler of all hearts, I fly to You, and
oppressed beneath the weight of my
sins, I prostrate myself before You.
Despise not Your unworthy child,
but grant me, I pray, an entrance into
Your Sacred Heart. Sustain me in all
my combats and be with me now,
and at all times, but especially in the
hour of my death. O gracious Jesus!
O amiable Jesus! O loving Jesus! Amen.

PRAYER TO MARY, MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP



MOST HOLY IMMACULATE VIRGIN MARY,
 my Mother, I, the most miserable of all sinners - have recourse to you today, the Mother of my LORD JESUS CHRIST. I venerate you, O great Queen, and thank you for all the graces you have obtained for me, especially for having delivered me from hell, which I have so often deserved. I LOVE YOU, O my very kind sovereign, and for your love, I commit myself to serve you forever, and tend all my efforts to make you loved by others too. Next to your most Divine Son, I place all my Hopes and all my Salvation in you.

Accept me as your servant, and receive me under your protection, O Mother of Mercies. And since you are so powerful with GOD, deliver me from all temptations or obtain for me the strength to conquer them until death.

O MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP, by the love that you have for GOD, I pray that you will always assist me, but most of all at the last moment of my life. Do not abandon me until you see me safe in heaven, occupied to bless you and to sing your mercies for all eternity. This is my Hope.

HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE...

A Prayer Against Financial Curses


A Prayer Against Financial Curses


This Prayer is from the Catholic Deliverance Prayer for the Laity by Father Ripperger


People: I invoke my natural law rights over my own property and finances. I lift any curses sent against me or my property or finances. I reject any sins that may have led to these curses coming against me and ask for God's forgiveness. I break any unholy bonds that allowed such curses to come upon me. I command the demons related to these curses to leave permanently and not be replaced by any other evil spirits. I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to receive now the entire and full right of disposing of these goods according to God's holy will. May she cast out any and all evil spirits, sanctify our goods, protect them from any future evil action, and use them for the glory of God.
I, N_____, a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose you, the Mother of God, this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your servant, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and in eternity.

Receive, O Blessed Virgin, this little offering of my servitude, in honor of and in union with, that subjection which the Eternal Wisdom deigned to have to your maternity; in homage to the power which both of you have over this poor sinner, and in thanksgiving for the privileges with which the Holy Trinity has favored you. I declare that I wish henceforth, as your true servant, to seek your honor and to obey you in all things. O admirable Mother, present me to your dear Son as His eternal servant, so that as He has redeemed me by you, by you He may receive me! O Mother of mercy, grant me the grace to obtain the true Wisdom of God; and for that end receive me among those whom you love and teach, whom you lead, nourish and protect as your children. O faithful Virgin, make me in all things so perfect a disciple, imitator and servant of the Incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ your Son, that I may attain, by your intercession and by your example, to the fullness of spiritual maturity in Jesus on earth and of His glory in Heaven. Amen.


[If a priest is present add the following:]
Priest: In the Most Holy Name of Jesus, by the authority of my priesthood, I invoke the keys of St. Peter and I ratify your breaking of each and every financial, business, property curse and all curses coming against you and your family affecting your livelihood, your property, your finances or any goods or any works. With that same authority, in Jesus’ name, I bind any evil spirits that may have attached themselves to you or harass you in any way as a result of these curses and I command them to leave you now and go immediately and directly to the foot of the cross for our Lord Jesus to deal with as he wills. Vade Retro Satanas. In the name of Jesus Christ leave them now. + Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen

Amen.

THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET



Introduction to the Divine Mercy Chaplet

The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a profound Christian prayer that has been cherished by millions around the world. It is a devotional practice rooted in the message of God's boundless mercy, as revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun and mystic in the early 20th century.

This prayer is a beautiful and heartfelt way to seek God's mercy, offer thanksgiving, and intercede for the needs of others. The Divine Mercy Chaplet can be prayed using Rosary beads or by counting on your fingers, making it accessible to people of all backgrounds and ages.

The chaplet consists of simple yet powerful prayers, including the "Our Father," the "Hail Mary," and a special invocation: "Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world."

During the recitation of these prayers, we meditate on the passion and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, trusting in His infinite mercy and love. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is often prayed for personal intentions, healing, forgiveness, and peace.

Join us in this spiritual journey of invoking God's mercy, for as Saint Faustina conveyed, "Jesus, I trust in You." It is an invitation to experience the depth of God's love and to share that love with the world.

So, whether you're new to this prayer or a long-time devotee, we invite you to join us in the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a prayer that reminds us of the extraordinary mercy that God offers to all who seek it.

Let's begin our prayerful journey together. 🙏🌟 and share to your family and friends. God bless you.

The Divine Mercy Chaplet: How to Recite


How to Recite the Chaplet

The Chaplet of Mercy is recited using ordinary Rosary beads of five decades. The Chaplet is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and followed by a closing prayer.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

8. Repeat for the remaining decades
Saying the "Eternal Father" (6) on the "Our Father" bead and then 10 "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion" (7) on the following "Hail Mary" beads.

9. Conclude with Holy God (Repeat three times)
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

10. Optional Closing Prayers
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness, today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy — to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery that it cries out. Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this earth's exiles! O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, Who are acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our own power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You: anticipate us with Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in us, that we may faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death's hour. Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our salvation’s enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your children, await Your [Son’s] final coming — that day known to You alone. And we expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope: through His merciful Heart, as through an open gate, we pass through to heaven (Diary, 1570).

Bless the Lord, all ye His Angels, you who are mighty in strength: execute His word, hearkening to His spoken word.
Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all He hath done for thee.
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
For He hath given His angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear Him: and shall deliver them.
Glory be...

I will sing praise to Thee in the sight of the angels
I will worship at Thy holy temple, and I will give glory to Thy name.
O Lord, hear our prayer.
And let our cry come unto Thee.

Prayer:
O God who in a wonderful order, disposest the services of angels and men; mercifully grant that they who in Heaven always wait Thy orders, may on Earth defend our lives, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Sorrowful Mystery of the Holy Rosary



The SORROWFUL MYSTERIES of the Holy ROSARY are a profound and reflective set of prayers that invite believers to meditate on significant events in the life of Jesus Christ. These mysteries focus on the intense suffering and sacrifice of Jesus, leading up to His crucifixion and death. As we contemplate these sorrowful moments, we are reminded of the immense love and redemption that Christ offered to humanity through His passion. The Sorrowful Mysteries invite us to enter into the depth of Christ's mercy and to find solace and strength in His unwavering example of love and obedience to God's will. Through the recitation of the rosary, we accompany the Blessed Virgin Mary in meditating on these sacred events, seeking comfort and guidance in our own trials and tribulations.

In this mystery of the Rosary, Let us ponder and pray that the Holy spirit will enlighten us how the fruit applies to its respective mystery and to embody that fruit in our own life. As we meditate on the fruits of the Sorrowful Mysteries, Lord, open our hearts to receive the fruits and we ask Jesus and Mary to reveal where we can grow in that fruit. May the grace of YOur Agony, Lord, come down into our soul and make us truly contrite and perfectly obedient to Your holy will.

Prayer for Special Petition to Our Lady,Most Holy Virgin Mary


MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARY, my Mother, I kneel before you with heavy heart. The burden of my sins oppresses me. The knowledge of my weakness discourages me. I am beset by fears and temptations of every sort. Yet I am so attached to the things of this world that instead of longing for Heaven I am filled with dread at the thought of death. 

O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me in my distress. You are all-powerful with JESUS CHRIST, your Divine Son. He can refuse no request of your IMMACULATE HEART. Show yourself a true Mother to me by being my Advocate before His throne. O Refuge of Sinners and Hope of the Hopeless, to whom shall I turn if not you? 
Obtain for me, then, O Mother of Hope, the grace of true sorrow for my sins, the gift of perfect resignation to GOD's Holy Will, and the courage to take up my cross and follow JESUS. Beg of His SACRED HEART the special favor that I ask in this novena…

But above all I pray, O dearest Mother of Perpetual Help, that through your most powerful intercession my heart may be filled with Holy Hope, so that in life's darkest hour I may never fail to TRUST in GOD my Savior, but by walking in the way of His Commandments I may merit to be united with Him, and with you in the eternal joys of Heaven! Amen. 
O MARY, our Help, have pity on us. 
HOPE of the Hopeless, pray for us.

HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE…

Memorare Of Our Lady, Blessed Virgin Mary



The "Memorare" is a well-known Catholic prayer that is often recited as a form of intercession and supplication to the Virgin Mary. Its name comes from the Latin word "memorare," which means "remember."

The prayer is believed to have originated in the 15th century and is attributed to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, a prominent French abbot and theologian. However, its exact authorship is uncertain, and it has been attributed to other figures throughout history as well.

The Memorare is a short but powerful prayer that expresses a believer's trust in the Virgin Mary's intercession and her maternal care. It is a plea for Mary's assistance in times of difficulty, seeking her help and guidance in times of need.

The prayer begins with the invocation: "Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary." It acknowledges Mary's compassion and her role as the Mother of God. It continues with the plea for her help, saying, "that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided."

The Memorare expresses the believer's confidence in Mary's ability to bring their petitions before her Son, Jesus Christ. It acknowledges her closeness to Jesus and her role as a compassionate and merciful advocate for all who call upon her.

The prayer concludes with a request for Mary's intercession, saying, "Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen."

The Memorare is a widely cherished prayer in the Catholic tradition and is often recited individually or in group settings. It is particularly popular during times of distress, seeking Mary's intercession for protection, guidance, and assistance in various life situations.

The prayer is seen as a way to deepen one's devotion to Mary and to seek her motherly care. It is a reminder of the believer's reliance on Mary's intercession and her powerful role in the spiritual journey.

Overall, the Memorare is a heartfelt plea to the Virgin Mary for her assistance and intercession. It reflects the Catholic belief in Mary's role as a loving and compassionate mother who is ever ready to listen to the prayers of her children and to bring their petitions before God.

PRAYERS TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS

 


Blood of Christ, also known as the Most Precious Blood, in Christian theology refers to the physical blood actually shed by Jesus Christ primarily on the Cross, and the salvation which Christianity teaches was accomplished thereby, or the sacramental blood (wine) present in the Eucharist or Lord's Supper. 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…The believer is not only saved, redeemed, and justified by the blood of Christ, but the blood sets the believer free from the power of sin and makes him holy and enables him to grow in Christ likeness by the work of the Holy Spirit.The precious blood from the sinless Savior is the only means of salvation for lost man. If there is one subject more than any another that Satan would oppose, it is the Blood! He would like nothing more than to turn our minds away from this truth.

As Hebrews 9:14 explains, the blood of Christ, shed for our sake, cleanses “our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!” For all who trust in Christ, we are washed in his blood, fully cleansed from sin so that we may serve him! Lord Jesus, you wash us and make us fully clean.

First John 1:7 tells us: “The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin.” So when we confess our sins to God, we're forgiven of our sins and cleansed from them by the blood of Jesus.

A Powerful Prayer to be Said Before Praying

“Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray, that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar.” – St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi

The “Constant” Prayer of St. Catherine of Siena

“Precious Blood, ocean of divine mercy: Flow upon us! Precious Blood, most pure offering: Procure us every grace! Precious Blood, hope and refuge of sinners: Atone for us! Precious Blood, delight of holy souls: Draw us! Amen.”

Offering of the Precious Blood

“Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ in atonement for my sins, and in supplication for the holy souls in Purgatory and for the needs of Holy Church.” – The Raccolta

When blessing yourself with Holy Water

Precious Blood Prayer in Response to Requests from Our Lord

“Dear Jesus, moved by an impulse of love, and with purity of intention, I wish to cover my humble labors with Your merits and bathe them in the supernatural gold of Your Precious Blood. I desire to consecrate my life to the saving of souls and the extension of Your glory, and I beg the Heavenly Father for as many souls as You shed drops of Blood during Your Passion.” – Sr. Josefa Menendez

Pleading the Blood of Jesus

“Father in heaven, may we all be cleansed by the saving Blood of Jesus; may our consciences be purged of dead works. Scripture says that evil is defeated by the Blood of the Lamb, so we ask that the Blood of Jesus cover all who are in need of protection (all civil, religious and lay leaders, our families, friends, enemies, all those for whom we have promised to pray, and ourselves). We mark the borders of our nation and the doorposts of our churches, homes, schools and places of employment with the Precious Blood of Jesus. Also, we cover our vehicles that no one may ever be injured through them. Thank You, Lord, for shedding Your Blood for us. May the Water and Blood that came from the side of Jesus create a protecting fountain of grace, one which flows directly from the throne of God to us. Come, Lord, and fill us with Your Holy Spirit.”

Prayer of St. Faustina

“O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.”

Prayer of Protection by the Precious Blood - St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Lord JESUS, by faith in your merits, I now take your Precious Blood and sprinkle it over myself and my family right from the crown of my head to the very soles of my feet. I claim total and complete protection for my life and my family.

O Our Lady of Perpetual Help, with unwavering trust, I place my children into your gentle hands. Thank you for your maternal love and constant care. I am confident that with your intercession, they will experience the blessings of God's grace and be led safely to eternal life. Amen.
