1471-Month-of-the-Precious-Blood

July is the month of the Precious Blood, as June is the month of the Sacred Heart. Jesus’ Mercy is embodied in His Sacred Heart, which flows and beats with His Precious Blood.

The Precious Blood of Jesus is necessary for salvation.

“Judas called it “innocent blood” (Matthew 27:4}; Peter called it “precious blood“ (I Peter 1:19. );

John called it “cleansing blood” (I John 1:7.) He referred to it as “washing blood” ( Revelation 1:5 )and “overcoming blood” (Revelation 12:11.)

Paul calls the blood of Jesus “Purchasing blood” (Acts 20:28.) “Redeeming blood” –(Colossians 1:14) ; “Justifying blood” (Romans 5:9 ) ; “Peacemaking blood ( Colossians 1:20). It is called “sanctifying blood“ (Hebrews 13:12).

Jesus said that His blood is the “blood of the new testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins”

The Precious Blood is our only hope of salvation! Without blood, we die.

+++++++++++++++

Christ on the Cross, shed His Blood for our Salvation. He is the Lamb of God.”

Lamb of GOD

The Precious Blood / Lamb of God in Scripture

Isaiah 53:7 “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.”

Isaiah 53:1-12 “For he. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief …. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. “.

John 1:29 “The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! “

1 Peter 1:18-19 “Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.”

Revelation 12:11 “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.”

Revelation 7:14 “I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. “

Revelation 7:10 “And crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Matthew 26:26-29 “Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins..”

_{+++++++++++++++++}

During the Sacrifice of the Mass, at the consecration of the Sacred Host,we say “My Lord and my God”. When the priest elevates the chalice we say: “Be mindful of Thy creature Lord, whom you have redeemed with Thy Precious Blood.”

+++++++++++++++++++++

In the Book of Truth there are numerous messages and prayers regarding the Precious Blood.

In these times, we are well aware of the dangers, that are all around us, ready to strike at us and our loved ones. Jesus and his Mother, repeatedly try to warn us and also reassure us. Below is a beautiful prayer (contained in the message) that we should say each day:

Crusade Prayer (122) For the consecration to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ

Dear Jesus, I ask You to consecrate me, my family, friends and nation to the Protection of Your Precious Blood. You died for me and Your Wounds are my wounds as I gracefully accept the suffering, which I will endure in the lead up to Your Second Coming. I suffer with You, dear Jesus, as You try to gather all of God’s children into Your Heart, so that we will have Eternal Life. Cover me and all those who need Your Protection with Your Precious Blood. Amen.

All you need to do is trust Me and I will protect those who call on Me for the salvation of their own and other souls. Go and prepare for the Day of the Judgement. I bless you all and I grant you the strength to continue with your devotion to My

Crusade Prayer (58) Crusade of Conversion Prayer

O dear Jesus, I call on you to embrace all God’s children and cover them with Your Precious Blood. Let each drop of Your Blood cover every soul to shield them from the evil one.

Open the hearts of all especially hardened souls and those who know You, but who are stained with the sin of pride, to fall down and beg for the light of Your Love to flood their souls.

Open their eyes to see the Truth so that the dawn of Your Divine Mercy will shower down upon them so they are covered with the Rays of Your Mercy.

Convert all souls through the graces I ask you for now, Dear Jesus (personal intention here)

I beg you for Mercy and offer you this gift of fasting for one day every week (for this month of June*) in atonement for all sins. Amen.

Children you must fast for one day each week (in the month of June.) You must recite My Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily. Doing this children you will save the souls of millions through the Mercy of My Son, Jesus Christ.

Your beloved Mother

Mother of Salvation

* Since this prayer first appeared, we have been asked to fast one day per week, every week.

This prayer is to help save the souls of all God’s children, including hardened sinners:

A Pledge of Allegiance to the Divine Will of God the Father

13 June 2012 @ 4:00pm; Message 0458

My dearly beloved daughter, just as My Eternal Father bequeathed the great Gift to humanity of His Seal so, too, must His children pledge their allegiance to His Divine Will.

I ask all of God’s children who will march forth in His army to help save the souls of all God’s children, including hardened sinners, to take this pledge

Crusade Prayer (59) A Pledge of Allegiance to the Divine Will

O God the Most High, O Heavenly Father, I pledge to You my firm allegiance to honour and obey You in all things united to Your Divine Will on earth.

I, through the Sacred Blood of Your only beloved Son, the True Messiah, offer You my mind, my body and my soul on behalf of all souls so that we can unite as one in Your Heavenly Kingdom to come so that Your Divine Will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.

You must pledge your souls to My Heavenly Father as a token of your Faith and in memory of My Death on the Cross so that each of you will drink from the Cup of Salvation.

Your Jesus

This prayer is for those in mortal sin :

Those who carry out cold-blooded murder, can be saved through your prayers

14 October 2012 @ 6:10pm; Message 0580

My dearly beloved daughter, never believe, for one moment, that those who commit terrible sins, and whose evil deeds cause atrocities in the world, cannot be saved.

Those who carry out cold-blooded murder, execute their fellow countrymen, or kill their own children, who are still in the womb, can be saved through your prayers. (…)

Crusade Prayer (80) For the souls of those who commit murder

O dear Jesus,
I beg for Mercy for those who commit murder.
I urge for clemency for those in mortal sin.
I offer my own suffering and difficulties over to You, so that You can open Your Heart, and forgive them their sins.
I ask that You cover all those with evil intent in their souls with Your Precious Blood, so that they can be washed clean of their iniquities. Amen.

Remember that even though their sins may sicken you, My followers, these souls need your help. They have been infested by the evil one, and many of them do not know the difference between good and evil.

These are the souls, which cause Me the greatest anguish and pain. My suffering is being extended so that every one of them can be redeemed.

Go, My disciples, and allow My Love and Humility to flood your hearts so that you can, through your generosity of suffering, help to salvage these poor lost children of God.

Sacred Heart

Today is the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

It is not possible for us, as mere humans, to comprehend the Love of Jesus. St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians (ch.3) tells us that we cannot comprehend “what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth:” of “the charity of Christ’s love” .

St Margaret Mary Alacoque describes it in the Second Revelation: J(uly 2, 1674 – Feast of the Visitation)

“The Divine Heart was presented to me in a throne of flames, more resplendent than a sun, transparent as crystal, with this adorable wound. And it was surrounded with a crown of thorns, signifying the punctures made in it by our sins, and a cross above signifying that from the first instant of His Incarnation…”

“My Divine Master revealed to me that it was His ardent desire to be known, loved and honored by men, and His eager desire to draw them back from the road to perdition, along which Satan is driving them in countless numbers, that induced Him to manifest His Heart to men with all the treasures of love, mercy, grace, sanctification and salvation that It contains.”

(…) He wanted to bestow upon men during these final centuries such loving redemption in order to snatch them from the control of Satan, whom He intended to destroy.”

In the Fourth Revelation on June, 1675:

“…Behold this Heart which has so loved men that It spared nothing, even going so far as to exhaust and consume Itself, to prove to them Its love. And in return, I receive from the greater part of men nothing but ingratitude, by the contempt, irreverence, sacrileges and coldness with which they treat Me in this Sacrament of Love.

“But what is still more painful to Me is that even souls consecrated to Me are acting in this way. Therefore I ask of you that the first Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi be dedicated as a feast in honor of My Heart, and amends made to It in an Act of Reparation offered to It and by the reception of Holy Communion on that day, to atone for the outrages It has received during the time It has been exposed on the Altars.

https://www.churchpop.com/visions-of-the-sacred-heart-of-jesus-4-mystical-messages-to-st-margaret-mary-alacoque/

++++++++++++++++++

There was such joy in my heart today to see the church packed with people at the early morning Mass – many of them on their way to work. After Mass, our priest led the Prayer of Reparation, for which there is a indulgence that can be gained.

Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O sweet Jesus, Whose overflowing charity for me is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Your altar (in Your presence) eager to repair by a special act ofhomage the cruel indifference and injuries, to which Your loving Heart is everywhere subject.

Mindful alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we humbly ask Your pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation not only for our own personal offenses, but also for the sins of those, who, straying far fromthe path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow You, their Shepherd and Leader,or,renouncing the vows of their baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Your Law.

We are now resolved to expiate each and every deplorable outrage committed against You; we are determined to make amends for the manifold offenses against Christian modesty in unbecoming dress and behavior, for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent, for the frequent violations of Sundays and holidays, and the shocking blasphemies uttered against You and Your Saints.

We wish also to make amends for the insults to which Your Vicar on earth and Your priest are subjected, for the profanation, by conscious neglect or terrible acts of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Your Divine Love; and lastly for the public crimes of nations who resist the rights and teaching authority of the Church which You have founded.

Would, O divine Jesus, we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood. We now offer, in reparation for these violations of Your divine honor, the satisfaction You once made to Your eternal Father on the cross and which You continue to renews daily on our altars; we offer it in union with the acts of atonement of Your Virgin Mother and all the Saints and of the pious faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make recompense, as far as we can with the help of Your grace, for all neglect of Your great love and for the sins we and others have committed in the past.

Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, of purity of conduct, of perfect observance of the precepts of the gospel and especially that of charity. We promise to the best of our power to prevent others from offending You and to bring as many as possible to follow You.

O loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our model in reparation, deign to receive the voluntary offering we make of this act of expiation; and by the crowning gift of perseverance keep us faithful unto death in our duty and the allegiance we owe to You, so that we may one day come to that happy home, where You with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, God,world without end. Amen

Message from the Book of Truth Bookj of TRuth 5 volumes

My Love for humanity is infinite

11 October 2014 @ 1:00am; Message 1235

My dearly beloved daughter, My Love for humanity is infinite. My Love is intense and protective. It is pure, and I overlook many faults because of My deep affection for sinners.

I hold souls within My Compassion and there is nothing I will not do to save them, so I can unite everyone as one in Me. My tears flow, however, in great torrents at this time, because of the way God’s children are being hurt, abused, tortured, humiliated, scourged and killed by the enemies of He Who created the world. Those who cause such suffering are completely under the influence of the evil spirits, who poison their minds with lies, hatred and a disregard for human life. Not for one minute can a man ever say that he is carrying out an act in God’s Name when he kills another human being. Those who create wars and cause genocide, in any form, and who say they are working for the Glory of God, deceive not only themselves but those they recruit, to carry out their wicked intentions.

My Love is so powerful that if you were to pray for these poor lost souls, who believe that killing others in the Name of God, is a good thing, which will bring them honour, I will show them My Mercy, by awakening, within them, the Spirit of Truth. Do not let your hearts become heavy. Instead, know that while these most vile acts, which are committed by those who destroy lives are terrifying, in My Divine Justice, I will put an end to these horrors.

I will lift all of you, who have warm and tender hearts, in an instant, into My Sacred Heart and save you, such is My Love for you. My beloved followers you will not have to endure the pain of physical death. That I promise, if you help Me, through your prayers, to salvage the souls of those who need My Forgiveness and My Mercy the most.

Help Me in this great endeavour and soon all will be aglow with the brightness and the Glory of My New Kingdom. Here, you will live forever without a care in the world. Love for Me, My Eternal Father, your family and friends will reign throughout the world, which will have no end.

Go in peace to love and to serve Me.

Your Jesus

Feast of the Queenship of Mary

AM+DG

Yesterday was the Queenship of Mary. We recognize our Lady as our Queen. She told us at Fatima that Her Immaculate Heart would triumph. This victory – the Victory of all time – is recognized in the book of Revelation. We celebrate her as Queen in the 5th decade of the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. It is a fitting title and goes hand in hand with “Mother of the Church”. In the old Testament, the mother of the king was the queen- not the king’s wife. If Jesus is our King, then Mary, His Mother, is our Queen.

Mary Queen

Prayer in honour of the Queenship of Mary

O Mary Immaculate, Queen, ,look down upon this distressed and suffering world. Thou knowest our misery and our weakness. O Thou who art our Mother, saving us in the hour of peril, have compassion on us in these days of great and heavy trial.

Jesus has confided to Thee the treasure of His grace, and through thee He wills to grant us pardon and mercy. In these hours of anguish, therefore, thy children come to thee as their hope.

We recognize thy Queenship and ardently desire thy triumph. We need a Mother and a Mother’s Heart. Thou art for us the luminous dawn which dissipates our darkness and points out the way of life. In thy clemency obtain for us the courage and the confidence of which we have such need.

Most Holy and Adorable Trinity, Thou Who didst crown with glory in Heaven the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Saviour, grant that all her children on earth may acknowledge her as their Sovereign Queen, that all hearts, homes and nations, may recognize her rights as Mother and as Queen. Amen.

Mary Immaculate Queen, triumph and reign!

++++++++++++++++++++

The Book of Truth, gives us the words of Mary, our Queen:

Mother of Salvation: Blessed are those who will be given the keys of Paradise.

19 October 2014 @ 8:40pm; Message 1243

My dear child, I am your Mother, the Queen of Heaven. I shower all you who call on me to intercede on your behalf, to ask my Son to protect you, with special graces. All of Heaven prays for humanity at this time, so that the transition into the new world without end, will be smooth. It is my Son’s greatest desire to reach into the hearts of every sinner. To pull back the cobwebs of confusion, which covers their souls. To draw, even those with hearts of stone, into His Great Mercy.

My Son never gives up in His quest to touch the hearts of everyone. He never seeks revenge on those who offend Him and He never favours one soul over another. He loves everyone, even His greatest enemies, and this will always be the case. You must not shun my Son if you have suffered in this life; if you have lost a loved one in tragic circumstances; or if you are the victim of terrible injustices. God is the author of life. He gives it and He takes it away. It is only when a soul, filled with evil spirits, murders another that God will make that soul pay dearly.

As long as sin exists, evil will remain on earth. It will only be when sin is banished will evil dissipate. Children, I ask you to be patient. I ask that you spend your time in prayer as much as you can. I ask that you continue to recite the Most Holy Rosary for the protection of your families, your nations and your countries. Never before will my Rosary be so powerful as it is in these times, and you will receive great graces when you recite it, especially aloud, and in groups.

All of God’s plans are in place for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I ask that, through your prayers, you will help prepare the way for all sinners to seek repentance, so that they will enjoy everlasting life in the world to come, which is without end. Blessed are those who will be given the keys of Paradise.

Your beloved Mother
Mother of Salvation

The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honor her daily by meditating (i.e. mental prayer) on her seven sorrows (dolors). The Hail Mary is prayed seven times, once after each meditation.
1. “I will grant peace to their families.“

2. “They will be enlightened about the Divine Mysteries.”

3. “I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.”

4. “I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.”

5. “I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.”

6. “I will visibly help them at the moment of their death. They will see the face of their Mother.”

7. “I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.”

Our Lady’s Role

Message from ” Our Lady, Queen of the Sorrows”

Book of Truth 3 Aug. 2011: https://missionofsalvation.com/message-0155/

“…My presence and the signs I show in the skies and other manifestations are rejected. Even priests and bishops ignore my warnings. They, too, have turned away from a belief in Divine interventions. How blind they are to reject help from me their beloved Mother.

My Son suffers so much it is heartbreaking to see Him in agony today because of the evil of sin. My children have no idea how He suffers the torment He has to witness in the world, when He sees the cruelty of man.

My child, remind my children that I will appear only a few more times in the world because the time has come for the final battle when I will crush the head of the serpent.

My children must know how much they are loved and cherished by my beloved Son. I urge them to open their hearts and show Him the love and compassion He deserves. He, your Saviour, Who willingly accepted death in its most cruel form, to save you, wants now to save this generation from the snares of Satan.

He, the deceiver, smiles, my child, because he knows he has succeeded in stealing precious souls. Pray, pray, pray now that my Son will be heard during The Warning and that His Gift of Redemption will be accepted with humble and open arms. OLOSorrows

Remember, as your Mother, I will always plead for clemency for my children. My tears have flowed for those who do not want to hear the Truth, because it will only be through constant prayer that these unfortunate souls can be redeemed.

Your beloved Mother
Our Lady Queen of the Sorrows

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

AM+DG

Prayers from the Proper of TLM today:

“By the sign of the Cross, deliver us from our enemies, O Thou our God”. (Communion: verse)

“STAND by us, O Lord our God, and do Thou,who makest us rejoice in honor of the holy Cross, defend us evermore by its help”. (Post Communion verse)

The feastday:

Today is a very special Feastday. Today we celebrate the triumph and the power of the Cross.

It was on the 14^th September that we commemorate St Helena finding the true Cross in 4^th century. 300 years later, after a part of it was taken by the Persians, a Christian king as a result of a battle, reclaimed it. He processed with it to the Church of the holy Sepulchre, to which it belonged. It was a great occasion and He was dressed in all his kingly splendour. But when he was nearly there, he stopped and could not move. He was stiff and Cross was too heavy. It was only after he had humbled himself by pitting on the robes of a poor person, that he was able to proceed and carry the cross into The place where it belonged. This day, also happened to be on the 14^th September.

The Curé d’Ars ( t(1786-1859) tells us in one of his homilies:

“…We need not be surprised, my dear brethren, at the honor which the Church pays to this holy wood, which obtains for us so many graces and so many benefits. We see that the Church makes the Sign of the Cross in all her ceremonies, in the administration of all the Sacraments.

Why is that? My friends, this is why. It is because all our prayers and all the Sacraments draw from the Cross their power and their virtue. During the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, … the priest makes the Sign of the Cross over and over again. God desires that we may never lose the memory of it as the surest means of our salvation and the most formidable instrument for repelling the Devil. …”

God’s Plan: Then and Now

The Cross was God’s Plan for our Salvation. He accepted his Son’s Sacrifice. To the world he seemed a loser, a criminal… The devil was out to get Him from the very beginning of His Life. He thought He had won. The spiritual leaders of the time – the “elite” thought they had succeeded. He was a thorn in their side. But the Victory and the Triumph was Christ’s. He paid the price for our Salvation.

The gates of Hell did not prevail then, and they will not prevail today, in these times.

The Cross is a sign of a Christian. We take up our crosses like our Saviour did. We must be humble and willing to do as our dear Lord and Saviour did.

The carrying of the Cross

Jesus stands by us today, as we carry the many crosses imposed on us by ungodly men, who are in collaboration with sacred servants of his who are Judases.

At the Offertory today we prayed:

“By the sign of the holy Cross, O Lord, protect Thy people from the wiles of all our enemies, that we may be able to do Thee worthy service, and that our sacrifice may be well-pleasing in Thy sight”

In the Gospel today

(St. John, 12. 31-36) We read Jesus’ words :

“: Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to Myself … Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. Whilst you have the light, believe in the light; that you may be the children of light.”

gates of hell will not prevail

Feast of the Sacred Heart

AM+DG

Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart.

The post today includes:

Selection of Readings from TLM Mass for today
St Margaret Mary Alacoque’s role
Invocations to the Sacred Heart
Reading from Book of Truth regarding the urgency of these times. As always, Jesus has advice and consolation for us all

The beautiful prayers from the TLM Mass this morning celebrating this beautiful feast, touched me deeply.

Collect
O God, through Your mercy we possess the treasures of Your love in the Sacred Heart of Your Son, the same Sacred Heart which we wounded by our sins. May our honor, devotion, and love make reparation to Him for our faults. Through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord . . .

Alleluia, alleluia! V. Matt. 11:29
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls. Alleluia!

Offertory Antiphon Ps. 68:21
My heart dreaded reproach and misery, and I looked for someone to sympathize with Me, but there was none. I sought for someone to comfort Me, and I found none.

Secret
O Lord, behold the love in the heart of Your beloved Son, which no tongue can describe. Because of that love, accept our gift as an offering in atonement for our sins. Through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord . . .

Preface
It is truly meet and just, … everlasting God; who didst will that Thine only begotten Son should be pierced by the soldier’s lance as He hung upon the Cross: that from His opened heart, as from a sanctuary of divine bounty, might be poured out upon us streams of mercy and grace; and that in His heart always burning with love for us, the devout may find a haven of rest, and the penitent a refuge of salvation. And therefore with angels and archangels

St Margaret Mary Alacoque’s role

Jesus appeared to St Margaret Mary Alacoque and wanted her to spread devotion to His Sacred Heart. He told her: ” Behold this Heart, which has so loved men, but is so little loved in return.”

St Margaret Mary knew suffering. She was one of 7 children. Her father died when she was only 8; after which her father’s relatives moved in and treated them as servants.She was bed-ridden for 4 years with a rheumatic affliction. as a sister in the visitation order, she was kind and humble, but her fellow sisters saw her as clumsy and slow.

Margaret Mary was inspired to establish a Holy Hour from 11 till midnight on the eve of the first Friday of each month in order to share in the mortal sadness He endured when abandoned by His Apostles in His Agony, and to receive Holy Communion on the first Friday of each month.

Jesus appointed the Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi as the feast of the Sacred heart. Jesus called Margaret Mary “the Beloved Disciple of the Sacred heart” and the heiress of all its treasures.

We are encouraged to practice the Nine First Fridays Devotion in reparation to the Sacred Heart

To those who practice this devotion, Jesus promised:

1. “I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.”
2. “I will establish peace in their homes.”
3. “I will comfort them in their afflictions.”
4. “I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all in death.
5. “I will bestow a large blessing upon all their undertakings.”
6. “Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.”
7. “Tepid souls shall grow fervent.”
8 “Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.”
9. “I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.”
10. “I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.”
11. “Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.”
12.”I promise thee in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving the Sacraments; My Divine heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.”

The following First Friday devotions are efficacious in honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus:

1. 1. 1. 1. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
      2. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
      3. Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
      4. Act of Reparation
      5. The Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
      6. The Sacrament of Reconciliation

This occurred in the 17th century. Today ,much, much more is needed. There is so much more to atone for. Jesus deserves our love and devotion. There are many many more things we can do.

Invocations to the Sacred Heart

Throughout the day there are many short little invocations that we can offer up to Jesus. They just take a few seconds to say.

These are my favourites:

Sweet Heart of Jesus, I implore, that I may love Thee more and more.

Jesus meek and humble of Heart, make my Heart like unto Thine.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my Love; Sweet Heart of Mary, be my Salvation.

Heart of Jesus, once in agony, pity the dying.

Heart of Jesus, burning with Love for me, inflame my heart with love for Thee.

Reading from the Book of Truth

Sins are breaking My Sacred Heart

12 November 2010 @ 3:00am ; Message 0005

Write this, My daughter. The hours are ticking. Do not ignore My request to publish My Warning to mankind. There is a need now to repent. My children must hear My Warning now. My daughter, communicate with Christian groups first to impart My pleas.

Stay strong. I have chosen you for this Work, so that My pleas for redemption will be heard quickly. Write the Book and communicate My messages, using modern communications, such as the internet and the media. While My request is urgent, I will hold your hand so that you can understand the message.

You are stronger than you think. Pray to me more daily, My Divine Mercy. Fear not. Why are you so frightened? Eternal life, when heaven and earth merge as one, is to be welcomed.

It is what man has strived for since time began. Don’t be fooled by the attractions that earth has to offer. They pale into insignificance when compared with the splendour of My Father’s Kingdom. You will be sent support as soon as your plan begins to unfold.

These last few days have been overwhelming for you, yet, you have accepted in your heart what I am asking of you. It is difficult and perhaps a little frightening for you to take all of this in, but it is important that you trust in Me.

Hold Me in your heart and lean on Me. Surrender any doubts you have and your task will be easier. You must remind people of My promises and refer to My written Word.

Fall back on Scripture to make sense. Never ever be afraid to remind people how their sins are breaking My Sacred Heart and piercing the soul of My Eternal Father.

We, My Mother and all the saints, will hold your hand and give you strength. You will be sent practical guidance and doors will be opened to help you in your work.

Beware of those who create obstacles to delay you in your communications. Pray for them and move on. I know you are tired, but My request has to be responded to quickly.

It is time for rest now, My child. You are responding well and with faith and courage. Never give up.

Your beloved Saviour
Jesus Christ

The Power of a Name!

AM+DG

The Power of a Name

Today, in the Traditional Rite, we celebrate the Holy Name of Jesus. The Power of this name is something, that we were always taught, but it is rarely mentioned now. It is a weapon, a comfort, a help we should never ignore.

Today, however, this most Powerful and Beautiful Name is used to curse and swear; it is blasphemed and mocked. Once upon a time, we would see every person in Church bow their heads or give a little nod every time It is heard.

Benefits of invoking the Name of Jesus:

brings us help in bodily needs:

“In my name They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mark 16:17-18)

In the Name of Jesus the Apostles gave strength to the lame (Acts 3:6; 9:34) and life to the dead (Acts 9:40).

It gives consolation in spiritual trials:

The Name of Jesus reminds the sinner of the prodigal son’s father and of the Good Samaritan; it recalls to the just the suffering and death of the innocent Lamb of God.

It protects us against Satan and his wiles, for the Devil fears the Name of Jesus, who has conquered him on the Cross.

In It we obtain every blessing and grace for time and eternity:

“If you ask the Father anything in my name he will give it you.” (John 16:23)

Bernadine loved this devotion to the Holy Name. Below is a prayer he would say every day:

Jesus, Name full of glory, grace, love and strength! 
You are the refuge of those who repent,
our banner of warfare in this life,
the medicine of souls,
the comfort of those who mourn, 
the delight of those who believe, 
the light of those who preach the true faith,
the wages of those who toil, the healing of the sick.
To you our devotion aspires;
by you our prayers are received; 
we delight in contemplating you. 
O Name of Jesus, you are the glory of all the saints for eternity. 
Amen.

“The Golden Arrow Prayer,” was revealed by Jesus to a Carmelite nun of Tours in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy:

“May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar.”

From: https://aleteia.org/2019/01/14/st-bernardine-of-sienas-prayer-to-the-holy-name-of-jesus/

In the following Litany, (one of my favourites) there is a different reason/power for every line – i.e. each time the Name of Jesus is invoked.

Give us, O Lord, a perpetual fear and love of Thy holy name; for Thou never failest to govern those whom Thou dost solidly establish in Thy love. Who livest and reignest, world without end. R. Amen.

Happy Feast Day, dear Guardian Angels. They are our best friends!

AM+DG

Today is a very special Feastday. Where would we all be without our Guardian Angels? Most of us at least say a short simple prayer to our angel each morning and/or night. But we can never underestimate their presence or their love for us. I. too was taught this little simple prayer and was faithful to it, but it wasn’t until I was older, and met Fr Alessio Parente, who wrote the book about Padre Pio‘s own guardian angel, that I started to really take notice. I managed to get a signed copy of his book years ago when I visited San Giovanni Rotundo. This book is a treasure – it is worth getting hold of and a great source to retell the stories to Children. See the video below: (Fr Parente was a personal carer for Padre Pio for many years – his stories are first hand)

Devotions to the Holy Angels

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?”–Heb.i. 14

“The Angels,” says St. Augustine, “love us as their fellow-citizens, and hope to see us fill up what has been lost to their own number by the fall of the rebel angels.

For this reason they are always present with us, and watch over us with the greatest care.

At all times, and in every place, they are ready to help us, and to provide for our wants.

They walk with us in all our ways; going out and coming in, they follow us still, anxiously considering whether we live piously and purely in the midst of a wicked world.

They assist those who labor;

they guard those who rest;

they encourage those who light;

they crown those who conquer;

they rejoice with the joyful, and sympathize with the suffering.

When we do well, the angels are glad, but the devils are sad.

When we sin, the devils rejoice, but the angels are cheated of their joy.” (Solil.ap. 27.)

We ought, therefore, to honor these blessed spirits with very great reverence and affection, and to pray to them, especially our guardian angels, to whom God has given charge over us, to keep us in all our ways (Ps. xc), and we may be sure that this devotion will be most pleasing to them, and most useful to ourselves.

Amen.

Litany From:

https://catholicharboroffaithandmorals.com/Guardian%20Angels%20Popup.html

“Be mindful of Thy creatures Lord, whom Thou hast redeemed by Thy Precious Blood.”

AM+DG

Today, 1st July, is a wonderful Feast — “The Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As will as that it is the First Friday. In fact, the whole of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood.

In the last few weeks, we have celebrated Corpus Christi – 16th June; Sacred Heart of Jesus – 24th June; Eucharistic Heart of Jesus – 30th June, and today the Precious Blood – 1st July.

In 1843 Sister Marie of St Peter, a Carmelite nun in Tours, France, reported visions of Jesus and Mary in which she was urged to spread the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, in reparation for the many insults Jesus suffered in His Passion.

The Blessed Sacrament contains the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Devotion to the Holy Eucharist is devotion to the Blood of Christ.

In Eucharistic adoration, we are adoring the Blood of Christ, which is also contained in the sacred host in the Monstrance.

The early Fathers say that the Church was born from the pierced side of Christ, and that the sacraments were brought forth through His Blood.

We must make every effort this month to cover ourselves, our families, our priests, our government leaders, the powerful elite, with the most Powerful and Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

It is a good practice to offer up our loved ones (and our enemies) at the Consecration of the Mass, particularly at the Consecration of the Blood. “Be mindful of Thy creatures Lord, whom Thou hast redeemed by Thy Precious Blood.”

Scripture tells us:

“Then He took a cup, and when He had given thanks He handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is My Blood, the Blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” Matthew 26: 27-28

“But one of the soldiers with a spear opened His side, and immediately there came out Blood and water.” John 19:34

On beholding those who are before the throne of God, St. John the Evangelist points out that “these are they who are come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:14

More on on the Precious Blood

We know that the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian Life.” We also know that the Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ

“The Precious Blood which we worship is the Blood which the Saviour shed for us on Calvary and reassumed at His glorious Resurrection; it is the Blood which courses through the veins of His risen, glorified, living body at the right hand of God the Father in heaven; it is the Blood made present on our altars by the words of Consecration; it is the Blood which merited sanctifying grace for us and through it washes and beautifies our soul and inaugurates the beginning of eternal life in it.” The Church’s Year of Grace, by Fr. Pius Parsch

Also, contemplate that, between Jesus and Mary, there was an interflow of blood for nine months when He was a Child in her womb!

The Saints explain:

St. Peter: “You were not redeemed with corruptible things, as gold or silver… but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled.” 1 Peter 1:18-19)

St. Paul: “And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross.” (Col 1:20)

St. Paul: “How much more will the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14)

St. Augustine: “… save me through Thy Precious Blood.”

Our Lord to St. Mechtilde: “I show these bleeding wounds to My Father, to appease His wrath. He pardons when he see the Blood. Let sinners but look upon Me, and they will be moved to repentance, confidence and love.” “Through My Blood, I conquer My Father’s anger and reconcile man with his God.”

St. Catherine of Siena’s letters to bishops, cardinals and popes always began with the words: “I address you in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.”

St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi “Every time a creature offers up this Blood by which he was redeemed, he offers a gift of infinite worth, which can be equaled by no other!”

St. John Vianney said of asking Our Blessed Mother to offer the Precious Blood in our stead “My children, mark this well: whenever I obtained some grace, it was obtained in this manner which I never found to fail.”

“Jesus told St. Faustina: ‘My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners…[I]t is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy. For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy.’ (Diary of St. Faustina, 367)”In regards to Mortal Sin:

“If every evening, before we retire, we would ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to offer to God the Precious Blood of her Divine Son Jesus (…) that thereby one mortal sin which might be committed somewhere (..) might be prevented, and if every morning this offering were renewed from day to day, we could prevent many mortal sins.” ( Fr Faber)

“O Holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary, offer to the Eternal Father the Precious Blood of thy Divine Son for the intention that one mortal sin may be prevented this day (or this night)”.

The Gospels and the shedding of Jesus’ Blood :

the Blood of the Circumcision,
the Blood of the Garden of Gethsemane,
the Blood of the Flagellation,
the Blood of the Crowning of Thorns,
the Blood of the Ascent to Calvary,
the Blood flowing from Christ’s side pierced by the lance. (Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy)

Invocations of the precious Blood:

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the Circumcision, make me chaste of mind, heart and body.

Precious Blood, oozing from every pore in the Agony of Jesus, grant me to love above all things the holy and Adorable Will of God.

Precious Blood, flowing abundantly in the Scourging at the Pillar, inspire me with a keen sorrow for my sins and a love of suffering.

Precious Blood, falling in profusion from the Crown of Thorns, grant me a love of humiliations.

Precious Blood, furrowing the way to Calvary, fill me with courage to walk unfalteringly in the bloody footsteps of Jesus.

Precious Blood, shed so profusely in the Crucifixion of my Jesus, make me die entirely to self-love.

Precious Blood, shed to the very last drop by the opening of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, give me that generous love that sacrifices all for God.

Precious Blood, sacred source from whence flow all graces, apply Thine infinite merits to my soul.

Precious Blood, Whose virtue animates and vivifies our actions, apply Thine infinite merits to all our works.

Life-Giving Fountain, in which the soul fully slakes its thirst, saturate me with pure love.

O Divine Blood of my Jesus, I adore Thee from the depths of my heart. Thee I fervently invoke, for Thou art my salvation, and by Thee I hope to obtain the joys of Paradise.

Eternal Father, be merciful, for the sake of the Blood of Thine only-begotten Son; we beseech Thee, show us Thy mercy.

Most Precious Blood of Jesus, cry to the Heavenly Father for mercy for us, and deliver us.

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Precious Blood in atonement for my sins and for the needs of Holy Church.

++++++++++++++++

The Devotion to the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest devotion He has ever given the Church.

“This is the ark that will protect and bring the Holy Catholic Church, the remnant faithful and all those you love and pray for safely through the bitter trials of the coming chastisement and into the promised Era of Peace.”

+++++++++++++

My own favourite daily prayer Is that of St Gertrude:

“Eternal Father, I offer thee the most Precious Blood of The Divine Son Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the souls in Purgatory, for sinners in the universal Church, in my own home and in my own family. Amen”

Feastday: 31 May – Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Traditional)

AM+DG

This is a most beautiful Feastday – a great way to end May – the Month of Our Lady!

We celebrate Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Some Christians might ask – why do Catholics honour Mary as Queen?

In the Old Testament, it wasn’t the wife of the King who was the Queen, It was the mother of the King, and she sat at his right hand. Jesus is the King of Heaven and Earth, so this means that Mary is the Queen of Heaven and Earth. It makes wonderful sense to Catholics. We have a Heavenly Mother to intercede for us and pray for us, to guide us, and to distribute graces to us.

We love our Heavenly Mother.

We started with a hymn , a little procession and the crowning of Mary as Queen, followed by a special prayer of Consecration to our blessed Mother. Then we all sang Hail Queen of heaven, which then led into the Mass. We had a sermon, and the litany which was sung in Latin while we processed. At the end we sang “On this day, O Beautiful Mother,,,” before we all hurried off to our places of work/ dropping children off to school etc…

++++++++++++++++++

I was most taken at Mass this morning by the beautiful words in the Proper of today’s Mass. What a beautiful way to start the day!
