Why the Rosary? | Fr. Brice Higginbotham

I would like to share this with you to help spread the awareness and importance of the Holy Rosary in our Christian lives as Catholics. 

Every Catholic should hear and learn this. We're losing so much faithful catholics for this reason that there are so many things we can not explain once we're asked by other religion and we end up so confused.

What a wonderful explanation. Love the Rosary. I recently started having one in my pocket. That would be a good idea for my kids too. Thank you Father

LET US PRAY THIS POWERFUL PRAYER AT 3 O'CLOCK

“At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion…” (Diary, 1320).

THE 3 O' CLOCK PRAYER TO THE DIVINE MERCY

In October 1937 in Cracow, Poland Jesus appeared to St. Faustina asking that the world honor Him with a moment of prayer and contemplation on His Passion at the time He died for us, 3pm. Jesus said, "At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion…immerse yourself in prayer there where you happen to be, if only for a very brief instant…It pleases Me to grant everything you ask of Me if what you ask for is compatible with My will." Words of Jesus, Diary of St. Faustina

Everyday we call upon God’s mercy upon the whole world. We pray not only for ourselves and for our immediate families, but we pray for all souls, believers and nonbelievers; we pray especially for those who are most in need of God’s mercy and we do this everyday at a sacred time, 3pm (in our local time zones), because 3pm is the time Our Savior Jesus Christ died for us! Let us honor Our Savior by remembering His Passion each day at the time He died for us while we pray for His mercy upon all!

You expired, O Jesus,

but the source of life gushed forth for souls

and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.

O Fount of Life,

unfathomable Divine Mercy,

envelop the whole world

and empty Yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water,

which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus

as a fount of mercy for us,

I trust in You.

Amen.

A PRAYER TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM THE DEVIL

Do you feel the need of your family for Protection from the assaults of the devil? Pray this powerful prayer, Ask Mary, the Immaculate Mother Of Jesus Christ to pray for Protection...

St. Alpohnsus Liguori, a saint who devoted himself to the Blessed Mother, composed a prayer for families to dedicate themselves to the Virgin Mary, and invokes her protection against all assaults of the devil.

Oh Blessed and Immaculate Virgin, our Queen and Mother, refuge and consolation of all those who are in misery, I, prostrate before thy throne with all my family, choose thee for my Lady, Mother, and Advocate with God.

I, with all who belong to me, dedicate myself forever to thy service, and pray thee, oh Mother of God, to receive us into the number of thy servants, taking us all under thy protection, aiding us in life, and still more, at the hour of our death.

Oh Mother of Mercy, I choose thee Lady and ruler of my whole house, of my relatives, my interests, and all my affairs. Do not disdain to take care of them; dispose of them all as it pleases thee.

Bless me, then, and all my family, and do not permit that any of us should offend thy Son. Do thou defend us in temptations, deliver us from dangers, provide for us in our necessities, counsel us in our doubts, console us in afflictions, be with us in sickness, and especially in the agonies of death.

Do not permit the devil to glory in having in his chains any of us who are now consecrated to thee; but grant that we may come to thee in heaven to thank thee, and together with thee to praise and love our Redeemer Jesus for all eternity. Amen, thus may it be.

​All You Need To Know About St. Michael the Archangel.

Saint Michael the Archangel isn’t a saint in the traditional sense, but rather he is an angel and the leader of all angels and of the army of God. This is what the title “Archangel” means, that he is above all the others in rank.

However, Michael the Archangel is still called a saint because he resides in heaven in communion with God. Michael the Archangel has four main responsibilities or offices, as we know from scripture and Christian tradition.

The first is to combat Satan. The second is to escort the faithful to heaven at their hour of death. The third is to be a champion of all Christians, and the Church itself. And the fourth is to call men from life on Earth to their heavenly judgment. Very little is known about Michael the Archangel other than what we know from scriptures, which themselves are sparse. In Daniel, he is mentioned twice.

The first time as one who helped Daniel, and the second time he is mentioned with regard to the end times of the world, a time when he will stand and defend the righteous. His next mention comes in the Epistle of St. Jude, where he is said to guard the tombs of Moses and Eve and has contended with Satan over the body of Moses.The final mention is in Revelation, where St. Michael and his angels, do battle with the dragon.

There are other scriptures where St. Michael is implied, but not mentioned by name, such as the angel; who defends the gate to Paradise.

Today, St. Michel the Archangel is invoked for protection, especially from lethal enemies. He is also the patron of soldiers, police, and doctors.

St. Michael the archangel, Pray For Us! 

A PRAYER FOR FIDELITY TO WORK

The patron saint of work is Saint Joseph.

Have you every thought about the work you do? Have you prayed the Saint Joseph the Worker prayer?  Try it, you might begin to feel better about the work you are involved in . . .When you feel tired or bored about your work offer your works and sacrifices, time and energy spent for the forgiveness of your sins for the conversion of sinners and for the forgotten Souls in Purgatory.

"A Prayer for Fidelity to Work," is a prayer during those times that you find it hard to convince yourself to do the work that you need to do. Seeing a spiritual purpose in that work can help. This prayer to St. Joseph, patron of workers, helps you to call to mind that all of your labor is part of your struggle on the road to heaven.

Here is the prayer to Saint Joseph the Worker composed by Pope St. Pius X:

O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials; to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must give of time lost, talents unused, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch, Saint Joseph. Such shall be my watch-word in life and in death. Amen.

PRAYER FOR WORKERS TO SAINT JOSEPH

This beautiful prayer was composed by Pope Saint John XXIII (1958-63). It places all workers under the patronage of Saint Joseph the Worker and asks for his intercession so that we may regard our work as a means of growing in holiness.

A Prayer for Workers

O glorious Joseph! Who concealed your incomparable and regal dignity of custodian of Jesus and of the Virgin Mary under the humble appearance of a craftsman and provided for them with your work, protect with loving power your sons, especially entrusted to you.
You know their anxieties and sufferings, because you yourself experienced them at the side of Jesus and of His Mother. Do not allow them, oppressed by so many worries, to forget the purpose for which they were created by God. Do not allow the seeds of distrust to take hold of their immortal souls. Remind all the workers that in the fields, in factories, in mines, and in scientific laboratories, they are not working, rejoicing, or suffering alone, but at their side is Jesus, with Mary, His Mother and ours, to sustain them, to dry the sweat of their brow, giving value to their toil. Teach them to turn work into a very high instrument of sanctification as you did. Amen.
