Prayer To The Sacred Heart of Jesus

 O, Sacred Heart of Jesus,

filled with Infinite Love,

broken by our ingratitude,

and pierced by our sins,

yet loving us still,

accept the consecration we make to Thee

of all that we are and all that we have.

Take every faculty of our souls and bodies,

only day by day draw us nearer and nearer to Thy Sacred Heart,

and there, as we shall hear the lesson,

teach us Thy Holy Way.

Amen.

Saint Francis of Asisi

 October 4 is the Memorial of Saint Francis of Assisi, friar and preacher!

1. St. Francis came from a wealthy family but he gave up luxurious living, and live a life of  poverty and total dependence on the good God, after hearing the Lord’s voice who commanded him to rebuild the Christian church. No one else in history was as dedicated as him in imitating the life and carrying out the work of Christ in Christ’s way. He was the first to receive the stigmata, the wounds of Christ in his hands and feet.

2. He established the Franciscan Order of friars known as street preachers with no possessions, and the women's Order of the Poor Ladies. He composed the “Rule of life” for the Franciscans.

3. He preached to people about the life of Jesus Christ. With his evangelical zeal, consecration to poverty, charity, and  his incredible charisma, he drew thousands of followers. He practised true equality by showing utmost respect and love to every person regardless of their status in life. He helped and cared for the sick, the poor, and even lepers. He had great veneration for the Eucharist and respect for the priests who carried out the sacraments.

4. He was the first to set up the nativity scene.

5. He recognized creation as manifestation of the beauty of God. He loves nature and can communicate with animals. He persuaded a wolf by making the sign of the cross to stop attacking the people and their livestock. 

6. St. Francis’ response to God’s grace and calling in his life was remarkable. He is a shining example of carrying out the great commission equipped with boldness and grace by the Holy Spirit. Through his obedience, sacrifice, and humility, his love for God and service for others, he has left a legacy that serves as inspiration to all.

PRAYER

Oh Lord, You imprinted the sacred marks of Thy Passion on the body of blessed father Francis, mercifully grant that by his merits and prayers, may we find relief in the current difficulties the world is experiencing.

Beloved Saint Francis, obtain for us and for our families, relatives, and friends the blessings, providence, healing, mercy, and protection of God now and always. 

Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us and the whole world. Amen!

Prayer To The Divine Mercy To Break All Setbacks In Your Life

 

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I offer to you today all the pains, struggles, failures, setbacks, discouragement and despair in my life. I join to your most Holy Wounds all the suffering, hardships and humiliations that I endured or enduring, being part of the body of Christ. I offer all the lost and locust years of my life, spent in negativity, despair, rejection and defeat. Today I seek the mercy of the Cross, to break the cycle of failures, neglect and setbacks. O Lord Jesus, I choose today the power of your Divine Mercy, emanating from the Cross, to break those repeated patterns and cycles of setbacks, failures and inequities plaguing my life. Today I claim the Word of God, the word that became life giving flesh, that of Divine Mercy. In confidence I claim the mercy of God promised in Romans Chapter 9: 15,16 : “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. It depends not on human will or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.” I claim this promise of God’s mercy, to do miracles in my life.  Let this mercy from the Cross, pierce and penetrate my bone and marrow, to uplift and completely transform me and my family for generations to come. May your Divine Mercy O Lord Jesus, go before me like an armoured vehicle breaking down and splitting apart - the Jericho walls, the bronze gates, the red seas and the mighty mountains – which is standing  my way of growth and transformation. From this very moment Lord Jesus, I choose to walk by faith and not by sight, as I claim the Divine Mercy into every area of stagnation...

By the power of the Divine Mercy, I now claim the Psalm of Restoration as in Chapter 126 :

 

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,[a]

    we were like those who dream.

2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

    and our tongue with shouts of joy;

then it was said among the nations,

    “The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 The Lord has done great things for us,

    and we rejoiced.

4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,

    like the watercourses in the Negeb.

5 May those who sow in tears

    reap with shouts of joy.

6 Those who go out weeping,

    bearing the seed for sowing,

shall come home with shouts of joy,

    carrying their sheaves.

 

Mother Mary, Queen of all patriarchs and prophets, intercede for me and all your children, who have recourse to thee. Mother most faithful, Increase my faith to say Yes to God’s plan, as you taught us in your fiat. To accept in faith - the joy, the cross and the ultimate Glory through your son Jesus, in accordance with the will of God. Remind me O Virgin most powerful, that the mighty one, my Lord Elshaddai, has done great things for me in the past and that his mighty hands will do the impossible for me in the present and in the future. Amen.   

Repeat the prayer as many times possible... And may the Power of His Divine Mercy sanctify and build you up, breaking the repeated patterns of failures and sin.

PRAYER IN HONOR OF MARY’S NATIVITY

THE NATIVITY OF THE VIRGIN MARY
September 8, 2019

“Jesus is the mediator of justice; Mary obtains for us grace; for, as St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Bernardine of Siena, St. Germanus, St. Antoninus, and others say, it is the will of God to dispense through the hands of Mary whatever graces He is pleased to bestow upon us. With God, the prayers of the saints are the prayers of His friends, BUT THE PRAYERS OF MARY ARE THE PRAYERS OF HIS MOTHER.”
~ Saint Alphonsus Liguori

IN HONOR OF MARY’S NATIVITY
By Saint Anselm. 

Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O sacred Virgin; give me strength against thine enemies, and against the enemy of the whole human race. Give me strength humbly to pray to thee. Give me strength to praise thee in prayer with all my powers, through the merits of thy most sacred nativity, which for the entire Christian world was a birth of joy, the hope and solace of its life.

When thou wast born, O most holy Virgin, then was the world made light. Happy is thy stock, holy thy root, and blessed thy fruit, for thou alone as a virgin, filled with the Holy Spirit, didst merit to conceive thy God, as a virgin to bear Thy God, as a virgin to bring Him forth, and after His birth to remain a virgin.   

Have mercy therefore upon me a sinner, and give me aid, O Lady, so that just as thy nativity, glorious from the seed of Abraham, sprung from the tribe of Juda, illustrious from the stock of David, didst announce joy to the entire world, so may it fill me with true joy and cleanse me from every sin.   

Pray for me, O Virgin most prudent, that the gladsome joys of thy most helpful nativity may put a cloak over all my sins. O holy Mother of God, flowering as the lily, pray to thy sweet Son for me, a wretched sinner. Amen.

Meditate on the most comforting and effective passage of the scripture for protection in this time of Covid19 pandemic

As a psalm of protection, it is commonly invoked in times of hardship. Though no author is mentioned in the Hebrew text of this psalm, Jewish tradition ascribes it to Moses, with David compiling it in his Book of Psalms. The Greek Septuagint translation of the Old Testament attributes it to David. - Wikipedia 

As the Times of Trouble are upon us, the prayer of Psalm 91 is comforting and effective when prayed from the heart by those who love God and are in relationship with Him.

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 No harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 They will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
