St Padre Pio – RemnantDisciplesJtM

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.

During the last few years (since 2015) my daughter (Remnant Child of Mary) and I, have shared some stories about our Guardian angels – some personal and from family members and others from Prayer group members. There are also other posts you may wish to read. See some of them here.

The Precious Blood – Price of our Salvation

AM+DG

Spear in Jesus side Today (in the Traditional Rite) is the Feast of the precious Blood. It is celebrated as a First class Feast. Sadly, it is not on the Novus ordo calendar. It was removed in 1969, because it is “already venerated in the solemnities of the Passion, of Corpus Christi, of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and in the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. “ However, it can still be said in the N.O Rite if the priest wishes, as it is placed amongst the Votive Masses.

Gospel of St. John 19: 34

“But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs,

(34) but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out.”

The Catholic Catechism:

“The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life.”

St Padre Pio said:

“It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do without Holy Mass.”

St. Faustina wrote:

“Today Jesus said to me, I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. Call upon My mercy … When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion. This is the prayer:

“O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.” (Diary 186, 187, c. 1937)

Another prayer that Jesus gave to St Faustina of Divine Mercy: (to be said at 3 o’clock – the Hour of Mercy) is:

“You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the 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.”

St John’s Gospel account, as well as many saints have attested to the power of the Precious Blood.

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

At the Consecration of the Mass:

At the elevation of the Host, we say in our hearts “My Lord and My God.”

We recognize Jesus Who has saved us from sin, and Who gave his Life for us to show His Love for us.

At the elevation of the chalice, we remind ourselves of this Great Love.

We implore – “Lord, be mindful of your creatures whom you have redeemed with your Precious Blood.”

The Love of Christ is unfathomable. Keeping this in mind, it is the perfect moment to offer up to Jesus those for whom we pray, – the sick, the sorrowful, those who are trouble, those who need conversion…..

At this moment I pray for myself/others– “Lord, cover me (or name others) with Your precious Blood. Cleanse us from our sins. Make us pure, make us whole, make us holy.”

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

Never has there been a time, in which we must constantly beg Jesus for His Protection, as now- for what is now, and for what is to come.

His Precious blood will comfort us, and will strengthen us. It will give us the strength we need for the journey.

The Book of Truth has some special prayers invoking the Precious Blood of Our Lord:

For the Consecration to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ

Sep 18, 2013

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.

Crusade of Conversion Prayer 31st May, 2012

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.

A Pledge of Allegiance to the Divine Will . 13 June, 2012

O God the Most High, O Heavenly Father, I pledge to You my firm allegiance to honor 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.

(Prayer for Clergy) : To remain firm and true to the Holy Word of God. July 30, 2012

Oh Dear Jesus help Your sacred servants to recognize the schism within Your Church as it unfolds. Help Your sacred servants to remain firm and true to Your Holy Word. Never let worldly ambitions cloud their pure love for You. Give them the graces to remain pure and humble before You and to Honor Your Most Holy Presence in the Eucharist. Help and guide all those sacred servants who may be lukewarm in their love for You and re-kindle the fire of the Holy Spirit in their souls. Help them to recognize temptation placed before them to distract them. Open their eyes so they can see the Truth at all times. Bless them Dear Jesus at this time and cover them with Your Precious Blood to keep them safe from harm. Give them the strength to resist the seduction of satan, should they be distracted by the allure of denying the existence of sin. Amen.

For the souls of those who commit murder October 14, 2012

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.

(The following prayer is for priests to say:)

To defend the Most Holy Word of God. Oct.29 2013

O Mother of Salvation, help me, a humble servant of God, to defend His Most Holy Word in times of torment. Consecrate me, dear Mother, to your Son, so that He can cover me with His Precious Blood. Grant me, through the Intercession of your Son, Jesus Christ, the grace, the strength and the will to remain true to the Teachings of Christ in the times of Tribulation, which will devour His Most Holy Church on Earth. Amen.

“…soon you will bear witness to the extent of His Mercy, which will encompass the world. …”

AM+DG

We have a loving God, Who always watches over His people.He warns us so that we will not be lost. The Warning, or Illumination of Conscience was foretold to St Faustina. It was then repeated in more detail at Garabandal. St Padre Pio and Fr Gobbi of the Marian Movement of priests also referred to it.

St Faustina:

“Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy.”
and
“All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth,”

Garabandal:

“First, a World-Wide Warning that will happen in the sky…like the collision of two stars that do not fall down… it will frighten all humanity regardless of where one happens to be at the time… it will be a thousand times worse than earthquakes… like a fire that will not burn our flesh … it will last a very short time, although to us it will seem to be a very long time … no one can prevent it from happening … It will be recognized as coming from God… it will resemble a punishment … it is meant to be a purification … like the revelation of our sins and what we will feel in our hearts will be worse than sorrow. It will not kill us, if we die it will be caused by the emotion within us”

St Padre Pio tells us:

“My judgment shall come upon them suddenly and when least expected– not one shall escape My hands. But I shall protect the just. Watch the sun and moon and the stars, when they appear unduly disturbed and restless, know that the day is not far away.”

“The Holy Spirit will come, to establish the glorious reign of Christ and it will be a reign of grace, of holiness, of love, of justice and peace. With His divine love, he will open the doors of hearts and illuminate all consciences. Every person will see himself in the burning fire of divine truth. It will be like a judgment in miniature. And then Jesus Christ will bring His glorious reign in the world.”

Our Lady’s role, is not just as a messenger, sent many times from heaven to warn us. In the following message in the book of Truth, she tells us: “…

I am a servant of God and my role is to serve my Son, Jesus Christ, and help Him in His quest for souls …”

As a result, Jesus has given her the title of “Mother of Salvation”. In the message below, she explains to us what the Warning is, why it is necessary, and how people will react and how they will feel. She even tells us the reaction of the enemy.

Fore-warned is fore-armed!

Mother of Salvation: After The Warning will come a great desire to give glory to God

9 March 2014 @ 5:25pm; Message 1069

My children, you will always be under my protection when you call on me, the Mother of Salvation, throughout this Mission. I am a servant of God and my role is to serve my Son, Jesus Christ, and help Him in His quest for souls, which will cover the whole Earth. Not one nation will be excluded by Him.My Son’s Plans, to prepare the world, include every race, nation, creed and every man, woman and child will be aware that He is coming to help them. He does this because of the deep Love, which God holds in His Heart for His children.

Many people, who do not practice any religion, will be unable to ignore the Intervention in the world by my Son, Jesus Christ. They will be overcome and unable to comprehend, at first, the extraordinary spiritual experience they will feel, in every fibre of their hearts and souls. What a joy The Warning will be for many people, as it will bring with it the proof of my Son’s Existence. With this Gift, many will be filled with a peace they will have never felt before, as well as a great longing to be in the company of Jesus.

While all doubts about the Existence of my Son will flee from the minds of those who are blind to the Truth of the Word of God – for many, they will need spiritual direction once the Truth of The Warning is revealed. After The Warning will come a great desire to give glory to God. This will be a period of great trials; because the enemies of God will do everything possible to convince the world that The Warning– the Illumination of Conscience – did not take place.

When God humbles Himself to call out to His children and when He begs them to listen to Him, this is one of the greatest Acts of Generosity on His part. Children, accept The Warning with good Grace, because for many it will be the lifeline they need to live in the world without end. Never reject great acts or miracles from Heaven, for they are for the good of all, so that salvation is granted to the masses and not just the few.

Always give thanks for my Son’s Great Mercy. You have heard how Generous He is and soon you will bear witness to the extent of His Mercy, which will encompass the world.

Your beloved Mother

Mother of Salvation

More (excerpts) from the Book of Truth on the Warning:

“The Warning is a Miracle, permitted by My Father, to ensure that as many of His children as possible can enter My New Kingdom. – The Warning is a form of Global Confession. It will be the time when everyone will be expected to ask for the forgiveness of their sins, or face rejection.” – October 21st, 2011 @ 20:30

“Many will witness what will seen to be a catastrophic occurrence when two comets will appear to collide and explode close to the earth’s surface.” – July 12th, 2012

“The Warning for many will be a frightening event, when it will seem like the world has come to an end”. – July 12th, 2012

“The two stars will collide and many will be fearful. There is nothing to fear because this is the greatest gift I bring so that not one soul is lost to the fires of Hell. Then, My Cross, will appear in the skies and not one person will fail to notice. Many will fall down in fear and a great shaking, like an earthquake, will be felt. Then will come the silence. “- May 24th, 2012

” The skies will be peeled back as if a roof has opened to reveal the fires and the flames of My Divine Mercy. The earth will be shaken with such force that no man will escape My Eyes, My Spirit or My Gift. Many will tremble with fear because it will only be then that many will become aware of their souls for the very first time.” – June 16th, 2012

” Every single one of My children will be shown their lives, their sins, their wrong doings and every single insult they were responsible for against their brothers and sisters, all during a mystical experience. Not one man, woman or child on this Earth will be excluded. It is important to understand that The Warning is just that. I come to warn God’s children that their sins can and will be forgiven. I come to show them what the Day of Judgement will be like. This will mean that those who ask for redemption at this stage will be saved.” – June 16th, 2012

The Eucharist, Priests and Prayers given by Heaven

AM+DG

The messages about the Eucharist are for TODAY.

Priests, in particular, have a lot to suffer in these times.

Prayers given to us at Fatima:

“My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You. I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You”

“Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly.
I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world,
in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. And through the infinite merit of His Most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.”

Messages (and Prayers) about the Eucharist from Book of Truth:

Prayers for priests:

Excerpt from: message of 30 July 2012

“… Many of My sacred servants are being misled and don’t know it. Yet many such servants, if they are honest with themselves, are confused.

Then there are those who pose as My sacred servants but come from the other side. Slaves to the beast they deliberately present themselves as my anointed priests.

They cause Me such terrible anguish. Not only do they corrupt souls they have knowingly created a pact with Satan who will devour them.

They perform vile acts on My altars, before the Holy Eucharist but few know that they commit such acts. Yet I yearn for their souls.

My Catholic Church has been torn into shreds, yet the soul of My Church will never be taken or consumed by Satan. But the servants of My Church can be seduced and destroyed by the beast.

This is the time for Me to intervene to help them rise above these terrible torments.

I need you, My followers, and those sacred servants among you who understand what is happening amongst you to say this:

Crusade Prayer (70) Prayer for Clergy to remain firm and true to the Holy Word of God

‘O dear Jesus, help Your sacred servants to recognise the schism within Your Church as it unfolds. Help Your sacred servants to remain firm and true to Your Holy Word. Never let worldly ambitions cloud their pure love for You. Give them the graces to remain pure and humble before You and to honour Your Most Holy Presence in the Eucharist. Help and guide all those sacred servants who may be lukewarm in their love for You and re-kindle the fire of the Holy Spirit in their souls. Help them to recognize temptation placed before them to distract them. Open their eyes so they can see the Truth at all times. Bless them Dear Jesus at this time and cover them with Your Precious Blood to keep them safe from harm. Give them the strength to resist the seduction of Satan, should they be distracted by the allure of denying the existence of sin. Amen.’ …”

Excerpt from: message of 6 Feb. 2014

” My child, when the time comes, when my Son’s priests will face terrible anguish and miscarriages of justice, they must call on me. I have been given the Grace to be able to give them the courage they will need to continue to serve my Son. I refer, in particular, to priests in the Catholic Church, for they will suffer more than any other servants of God.

When the day comes and when they are called to swear an oath, which will deny the Divinity of my beloved Son, Jesus Christ, they must never doubt the real intentions of those who demand this of them. When they are asked to renounce the meaning of the Holy Eucharist and accept a new interpretation, they will know then that the hour has come. That will be the day when the rot will set in and the crumbling of the walls will be witnessed under the roofs of churches everywhere.

I desire that all priests, who will have to face these sorrowful trials, recite this:

Crusade Prayer (135) To defend the Truth

‘O beloved Mother of Salvation, help me in my moment of need. Pray that I am blessed with the Gifts poured down upon my unworthy soul, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, to defend the Truth at all times. Sustain me in every incident, where I am asked to deny the Truth, the Word of God, the Holy Sacraments and the Most Holy Eucharist. Help me to use the Graces I receive to stand firm against the wickedness of Satan and all those poor souls he uses to defile your Son, Jesus Christ. Help me in my hour of need. For the sake of souls, give me the courage to provide the Sacraments to each child of God, when I may be forbidden by the enemies of God to do so. Amen.’

When these times commence, you must be prepared to continue to carry on the Work of God and carry His Cross with resilience and dignity, for the sake of your own souls and those of all God’s children.”

Your beloved Mother

++++++++++++++++++++The following is a beautiful prayer for all, which can be said before Holy Communion or at any time as a Spiritual Communion.

(Crusade Prayer 81) For the gift of the Holy Communion

Taken from the message of Friday, October 19th, 2012 @ 09:06

“…The Holy Mass, which offers the real Body of my Son in honour of My Father, brings with it, also, great benefits. The more daily Masses you attend and the more you receive the Body and Blood of my Son, in the Holy Eucharist, you will be granted immunity from the purification in the fire of purgatory.

O Heavenly Host, fill my body with the nourishment it needs. Fill my soul with the Divine presence of Jesus Christ. Give me the graces to fulfil the Holy will of God. Fill me with the peace and calm, which comes from your Holy Presence. Never let me doubt your Presence. Help me to accept you in body and soul, and that by the Holy Eucharist, the graces bestowed upon me will help me to proclaim the glory of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Purify my heart. Open my soul and sanctify me when I receive the great gift of the Holy Eucharist. Grant me the graces and the favours it bestows upon all God’s children and grant me immunity from the fires of purgatory. Amen.

Other Prayers:

Prayer of Saint Thomas Aquinas:
“Ad Sacrosanctum Sacramentum”

O sacred banquet at which
Christ is consumed,
The memory of His Passion recalled,
our soul filled with grace,
and our pledge of future glory received:

How delightful, Lord, is Your spirit,
which shows Your sweetness to men,
offers the precious bread of heaven,
fills the hungry with good things,
and sends away empty the scornful rich.

V. You have given them bread from heaven.
R. A bread having all sweetness within it.

Let us pray:

God, Who left for us a memorial of Your Passion in this miraculous sacrament, Grant we implore You, that we may venerate the holy mystery of Your Body and Blood, so that we may ever experience in ourselves the fruitfulness of Your redemption. You who life and reign, world without end. Amen.

St. Catherine of Siena – A Prayer to Jesus in the Eucharist

O boundless charity!
Just as you gave us yourself,
wholly God and wholly man,
so you left us all of yourself as food
so that while we are pilgrims in this life
we might not collapse in our weariness
but be strengthened by you, heavenly food.

O mercenary people!
And what has your God left you?
He has left you himself,
wholly God and wholly man,
hidden under the whiteness of this bread.

O fire of love!
Was it not enough to gift us
with creation in your image and likeness,
and to create us anew to grace in your Son’s blood,
without giving us yourself as food,
the whole of divine being,
the whole of God?

What drove you?
Nothing but your charity,
mad with love as you are!

The following 2 prayers are amongst my personal favourites:

St. Bonaventure – Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee

Pierce, O most sweet Lord Jesus Christ, mine inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.

Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste.

Let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, whom the angels desire to look upon, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor.

May it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.

May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain to Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy Holy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with readiness and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.

Be Thou alone ever my hope and my whole confidence, my riches, my delight, my pleasure and my joy; my rest and tranquility; my peace, my sweetness and my fragrance; my sweet savor, my food and refreshment; my refuge and my help; my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be ever fixed and firm, and rooted immovably. Amen.

St. Padre Pio – Prayer After Holy Communion

Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.

Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.

Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!

Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You.

Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.

Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.

Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more.

With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

On February 9^th, 2016, (the vigil of Ash Wednesday), Bergoglio delivered a speech to the ‘Missionaries of Mercy” – priests who would go out during this Year of Mercy.

In his speech, Bergoglio spoke of the language of gestures – that often people can’t verbalize their sins through shame, and that the priest should give them absolution.

The following email was received from a fellow crusader (and blogger)– making a connection that I was not aware of:

“The other thing to note is that when this was said by the FP on Feb 9,

He did so in the presence of PADRE PIO’S BODY and ST LEOPOLD MANDIC’s body, the saint of the confessional.

So more MOCKERY !

Pray for Us St Padre Pio and St Leopold Mandic!
