Sacred Heart Devotion began on the Cross when the Lord's Heart was pierced by a lance. The Church came through the wound in the side just as Eve came from Adam's ribs. In the 17th century Our Lord appeared to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque and disclosed to her the marvels of his Love and the inexplicable secrets of his Sacred Heart. He gave her these twelve promises to those who have devotion to the Sacred Heart. 1.He will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life. The Key to this is to start each day with the Devotees Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and then throughout the day remind yourself by praying, "Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you! 2.He will establish peace in their homes. Enthrone the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Center of your home 3.He will comfort them in all their afflictions. Pray this often "Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you! 4.He will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death. 5.He will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings. 6.Sinners will find in His Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy. 7.Lukewarm souls shall become fervent. 8.Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection. 9.He will bless every place in which an image of His Heart is exposed and honored. (Make sure your home gets this blessing by enthroning the Sacred Heart of Jesus!) 10.He 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 His Heart. (Make sure you spread this devotion as much as you can!) 12.In the excessive mercy of His Heart, His all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in His disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments. His divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment. Enthronement of the Sacred Heart Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey was inspired by God, after his instantaneous cure at Paray-le-Monial, to preach everywhere the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart to verify this promise of the Savior given to St. Margaret Mary: "I will bless every dwelling where an image of My Heart is both exposed and honored." The Enthronement is the Official and Social Recognition of the loving Kingship of the Heart of Jesus in a Christian family. This recognition is made manifest by giving the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus a place of honor in the home which is thus solemnly offered Him by an act of consecration. The God of infinite mercy said in Paray-le-Monial: "Being Myself the fount of all blessings, I will distribute these abundantly wherever the image of My Heart has found a place, to the end that it may be loved and honored." And further: "I shall reign in spite of My enemies and all those who attempt to oppose Me."~Father Mateo During the Enthronement ceremony, a blessed image of the Sacred Heart is hung in the most prominent place in the home with Sacred Scriptures before it. Formal prayers are prayed and then each member signs a certificate of the Consecration. Home Enthronement Prayers: https://www.sistersofcarmel.com/sacred-heart-enthroment-ceremony-rubrics-prayers/

This devotion was started by my daughter Sarah who prays three Hail Mary's whenever she is in need of something special and three in thanksgiving when they are answered. I also started to do this as well whenever I need quick prayer intentions and the results have been nothing short of amazing for both of us so we are now sharing this powerful quick prayer method whenever you are in a tight spot.
So the devotion is based on the three Hail Mary devotion which is already highly recommended by many Saints and is powerful! One of the first to say the three Hail Marys and to recommend them to others was the illustrious St. Anthony of Padua. His special aim in this practice was to honor the spotless Virginity of Mary and to preserve a perfect purity of mind, heart and body in the midst of the dangers of the world. Many, like him, have felt its salutary effects. Later on, St. Leonard of Port-Maurice, the celebrated missionary, had the three Ave Marias recited morning and evening in honor of Mary Immaculate, to obtain the grace of avoiding all mortal sins during the day or and night; moreover, he promised in a special manner eternal salvation to all those who proved constantly faithful to this practice. After the example of these two great Franciscan Saints, St. Alphonsus Liguori adopted this pious practice and gave it his most ardent and powerful support. He counseled its use and even imposed it as a penance on those who had not adopted this good habit. The holy Doctor exhorts, in particular, parents, and confessors to watch carefully that children be faithful in reciting each day their three Hail Marys, morning and evening and recommended it to all the devout young or old. This practice has been revealed to St. Melchtilde with the promise of a good death, if she was faithful to it every day. Now we take the devotion and apply it into our daily lives whenever we are in need of something such as being late in traffic or having a test in school that you are worried about. Pray the three Hail Mary's and when you get the favored result you pray another three Hail Mary's in thanksgiving. Thus you have your Three and Three Hail Mary's. Please leave your testimonials below for favors granted, God Bless you The Rosary Doctor You go straight to Heaven if you participate in the Mass everyday! ~Blessed Carlo Acutis The Mass is the greatest wonder in the world. There is nothing on earth equal to it, and there is nothing in Heaven greater than it.~Father Sullivan The Daily Communicants are those who hunger to receive Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist everyday and rejoice to receive Him as often as they can! They also spread their love for the Holy Eucharist whenever possible. For whoever spreads devotion to the Holy Eucharist is Saved. It is not necessary to receive Jesus everyday in the Holy Eucharist but having a firm desire to if and whenever possible. Also they practice Spiritual Communions such as Jesus, I believe your in the Blessed Sacrament, please come into Our Lady's heart, I embrace with all the love of the Angels and Saints, never leave me. Know this: "He who abstains from receiving the Body of Christ through obedience and holy discretion, and purely for the glory of God, and who, being inflamed with Divine love, communicates spiritually, merits to receive a benediction like that given to the Saint, and obtain from God more abundant fruit, although the order and secret of this conduct is entirely hidden from the eyes of men."~Jesus to Saint Gertrude Finally they pray these prayers everyday: Eternal Father, we humbly offer Thee our poor presence, and that of the whole of humanity, from the beginning to the end of the world at all the Masses that ever have or ever will be prayed. We offer Thee all the pains, sufferings, prayers, sacrifices, joys, and relaxations of our lives, in union with those of our Lord Jesus here on earth.

The Wonders of the Mass Buy this Book whenever you can and leave at the Church for those to have your love of the Mass as well! https://www.olrl.org/books/wonders_mass.shtml The Wonders of the Mass The saints never speak so eloquently as when they speak of the Mass. They can never say enough on this sublime subject, for St. Bonaventure says that the wonders of the Mass are as many as there are stars in the heavens and grains of sand on the seashores of the world. The graces, blessings, and favors granted to those who assist at this Divine Sacrifice are beyond all comprehension. The Mass is the greatest wonder in the world. There is nothing on earth equal to it, and there is nothing in Heaven greater than it. The next greatest wonder is the indifference and ignorance of Catholics regarding Holy Mass. How is it that so many Catholics do not go to Mass? The great Sacrifice of Calvary is offered near their homes, almost at their very doors, and they are too slothful to assist at it. The Sacrifice of Calvary? Yes, for the Mass is really and truly the very same as the Death of Jesus on the Cross. Why do not mothers, why do not catechists, why do not teachers instill into the minds and hearts of those in their charge the wonders of the Mass? Priests are bound by the Council of Trent to do so. Protestants may well ask those Catholics who neglect hearing daily Mass if they do really believe that God is born on the altar, and that God dies on the altar as He did on Calvary? If they do believe, why do they not assist at Mass? St. Augustine tells us that pagans and Gentiles of his time asked tepid and indifferent Christians with bitter irony, if they sincerely believed that the God of all mercy and goodness descended on their altars. You Christians, they continued, accuse us of adoring false gods, but at least we believe they are gods, and we honor them; whereas, you despise Him whom you call the True God! No intelligent, no enlightened Christian would fail to hear Mass if he only knew what it was. St. Louis and the Mass King Louis IX of France, who labored perhaps more strenuously than any man in his kingdom, and who was one of the best and most glorious sovereigns who ever ruled over France, found time to hear two or three Masses every day. Some of his courtiers suggested that he was overtaxing himself with so many Masses. The King replied: “If I spent much more time in following the pleasures of the chase, or in entertaining my friends at rich banquets, or in frequenting for several hours each day theaters and places of amusement, you would not complain that I was devoting too much time to pleasure. You forget, my good friends, that by hearing Mass I not only secure for myself innumerable blessings, but I confer the most important benefits on my kingdom, many more than I could possibly do in any other way.” This reply of St. Louis may be addressed to those thousands of apathetic and indifferent Christians who could easily hear daily Mass, and do not do so. Even were they to make a great sacrifice, they would receive blessings and favors above their highest hopes. But, as a matter of fact, many could hear Mass without any sacrifice, or at so trifling a cost that their guilt in neglecting this Divine Sacrifice is, indeed, incomprehensible. Nothing but lamentable ignorance can explain the reason why so many Catholics neglect to hear daily Mass. By hearing Mass, the day would become worth a thousand days to them, so wonderful would be the graces and benefits they should receive. Far from losing time, their business would prosper more, and they would reach a degree of happiness that they could never otherwise hope to attain. What is the Mass? In the Mass, the Son of God becomes man again, so that in every Mass the stupendous Mystery of the Incarnation, with all its infinite merits, is repeated as truly as when the Son of God first took flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. St. Augustine: “What a sublime dignity is that of the priest, in whose hands Christ once more becomes man!” The Mass is the birth of Jesus Christ. He is really born on the altar each time that Mass is said, as He was born in Bethlehem. St. John Damascene: “If anyone wishes to know how the bread is changed into the Body of Jesus Christ, I will tell him. The Holy Ghost over-shadows the priest, and acts on him as He acted on the Blessed Virgin Mary.” St. Bonaventure: “God, when He descends upon the altar, does no less than He did when He became man the first time in the womb of the Virgin Mary.” The CalvaryThe Mass is the same as the sacrifice of Calvary. In it, God dies as He died on the first Good Friday. It has the same infinite value of Calvary, and brings down on men the same priceless graces. The Mass is not an imitation nor a memory of Calvary; it is identically the same sacrifice, and differs only from Calvary in appearance. In every Mass, the Blood of Jesus is shed for us again. St. Augustine: “In the Mass, the Blood of Christ flows anew for sinners.” Nothing on this earth, nothing in Heaven itself gives more glory to God and obtains more benefits for us than a single Mass. By the Mass, we offer to God the greatest praise, the greatest glory He could possibly desire. We give Him most perfect thanks for all the benefits He has bestowed on us. We make more reparation for our faults than by the severest penances. We can do nothing better for the conversion of sinners than offer for them the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. If mothers would only hear and get Masses said for their erring children, and wives for their husbands, how happy their families would be! No prayers, no suffrages, no matter how fervent, can help the Holy Souls as the Mass. Oh, let us think of the Souls in Purgatory. Among them may be our dear father and mother and friends. We can help them most easily, we can relieve their awful pains most efficaciously, by hearing Mass for them. What the saints say of the Mass To make still more manifest what we have just stated, we shall quote the very words of the saints and holy doctors. St. Lawrence Justinian: “There is no prayer or good work so great, so pleasing to God, so useful to us as the Mass.” St. Alphonsus: “Even God Himself could do nothing holier, better, nor greater than the Mass.” St. Thomas teaches that the Mass is nothing less than the Sacrifice of Calvary renewed on the altar, and that every Mass brings to men the same benefits as the Sacrifice of the Cross. St. John Chrysostom: “The Mass has just the same value as Calvary.” St. Bonaventure: “The Mass is a compendium of all God's love, of all His benefits to men, and each Mass bestows on the world a benefit not less than what was conferred on it by the Incarnation." The benefits of the Mass St. Thomas, the prince of theologians, write wonderfully of the Mass. “The Mass,” he says, “obtains for sinners in mortal sin the grace of repentance. For the just, it obtains the remission of venial sins and the pardon of the pain due to sin. It obtains an increase of habitual (sanctifying) grace, as well as all the graces necessary for their special needs.” St. Paul the Hermit stood once at the church door as the people entered. He saw the soul of one man, a great sinner, in such a state of horrible corruption that it appalled him. Moreover, he saw a devil standing by his side who seemed to have complete control of him. On leaving the church, he saw the same man so completely changed that he called him aside and asked him confidentially if he was sorry for his sins. The poor man at once confessed that he had committed many and very grave sins, but during the Mass he had read in his prayer book, “If your sins are as red as scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.” “I began at once to ask God to pardon and forgive me, and I am very sorry for my sins, and I wish to go to Confession at once.” St. Paul saw that by his act of sincere sorrow, the man was, by the infinite merits of the Mass, pardoned of all his sins. Our Lord said to St. Mechtilde: “In Mass I come with such humility that there is no sinner, no matter how depraved he be, that I am not ready to receive, if only he desires it. I come with such sweetness and mercy that I will pardon my greatest enemies, if they ask for pardon. I come with such generosity that there is no one so poor that I will not fill him with the riches of my love. I come with such heavenly food as will strengthen the weakest, with such light as will illumine the blindest, with such a plenitude of graces as will remove all miseries, overcome all obstinacy, and dissipate all fears.” What words of divine comfort — words of God Himself. If we heard nothing else about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, are not these words alone sufficient to fill us with faith and confidence in the Divine Mysteries. It obtains for us a happy death The crowning grace of our life is a holy and happy death. What avails it to have had a long and happy life, to have enjoyed all the comforts which riches can give, all the honors the world can bestow, if in the end we die a bad death? An unhappy death means a never-ending eternity of misery and woe. We can only die once, and if we die badly, there is no possibility of remedying the mistake. A bad death plunges a man into the fires of hell forever and forever. It is consequently of the utmost importance that we do all in our power, that we use every means possible, to secure a happy death. Holy writers recommend various excellent methods thereby we may make our salvation certain, and all these we should use to the best of our ability. All agree, however, that the best and easiest of these means is the frequent assistance at Holy Mass. Do not miss Mass The obligation to hear Mass on Sundays and holy days is very grave, and to fail in the fulfillment of this duty on these days, without sufficient reason, is a mortal sin. Not only does the sinner thereby lose important graces, which he may never again receive, but God may also punish him severely, as has frequently happened. The following fact happened near Rome. Three businessmen went to a fair at Cisterno, and after having transacted satisfactorily their business, two of them prepared to return home on Sunday morning. The third pointed out to them that they could not thus hear Mass. They laughed at his words, and replied that they could go to Mass some other day. So saying, they mounted their horses, and set out on their return journey. Their companion heard Mass, and then proceeded to follow them. What was not his consternation on learning that both his friends had been killed on the road, victims of a dreadful accident! How to hear Mass with profit The first condition for hearing Mass well is to understand thoroughly the infinite sanctity of the Holy Sacrifice and the graces it obtains. To this end, we must read, not once, but many times, this article on the Mass. The Mass is a stupendous mystery. Our minds, on the other hand, are weak and slow to understand. Therefore, we must read frequently and ponder seriously on the wonders of the Mass. One Mass heard with understanding and devotion obtains for us more graces than a hundred, than a thousand Masses heard carelessly and in ignorance of what the Mass is. We should make it an inviolable rule to arrive at church some minutes before Mass commences, firstly, in order to be prepared and recollected when the priest comes on the altar, and, secondly, to avoid causing distraction to others. We should not only hear Mass, but we should offer it with the priest. Moreover, we should have the intention of hearing and offering all the Masses being said at the same time all over the world. In this way, we receive a share in these innumerable Masses! The cross We at once notice that the crucifix is on every altar, that the priest's vestments are all marked with the Sign of the Cross, that the priest commences the Mass with the Sign of the Cross, that he makes this holy sign very many times during the Mass. Why? To make clear to us that the Mass is really and truly the Sacrifice of the Cross, that in the Mass Christ is crucified, sheds His Precious Blood, and dies for us. We must have no doubt that we are really assisting at the Sacrifice of the Cross. Prayers at Mass We may use any prayers that we wish and that help us most, but it is generally admitted that it is best to use a prayer book, and follow, as closely as we can, the Mass with the priest. The Confiteor. When the priest bends down at the beginning of the Mass and says the Confiteor, we, too, should unite ourselves with Jesus in His Agony, should humbly confess our faults, and ask pardon for them through the merits of Christ's agony. We then follow the various prayers with the celebrant. At the Sanctus, we should remember that the Angels come down to assist at Mass in multitudes, and that we are in the midst of them, and we should join our voices with theirs in adoring and praising God. They present our prayers to God. At the Consecration, we should be filled with the deepest reverence and love, for Jesus is really born in the hands of the priest, as He was born in Bethlehem. When the priest lifts up the Sacred Host, we should look on our God in an ecstasy of joy, as the Angels look on Him in Heaven, and say, “My Lord and my God.” At the Consecration of the Precious Blood, we must remember that all the Precious Blood that Jesus shed on Calvary is in the chalice, and we should offer it to God with the priest for God's glory and for our own intentions. It is well to place ourselves, our sins, all our intentions, our dear ones, the souls in Purgatory in all the chalices being ,at this moment, offered to God in every part of the world. We must be full of holy awe and love from the Consecration to the Communion. We are in the midst of countless adoring Angels. It is indeed a sign of woeful ignorance to manifest irreverence, to look around or speak during this most sacred time. It is much worse to leave the church, to abandon God dying on the altar for us. Nothing but the gravest necessity should induce one to go away until, at least, the Communion of the Priest. Remember: the day you hear Mass is worth a thousand days to you, that all the labors and work of a day, or a week, or a whole year, are nothing in comparison with the value of one Mass. Fr. Paul O'Sullvian The Grandchildren of Saint Anne was formed to have everyone adopt Saint Anne as our grandmother. Through this adoption we are sure to obtain many, many graces as she is the mother of the "Mother of All Graces" and through her intercession we are sure to obtain all that we ask for as long as it is in the most loving, merciful will of God. Devotion to Saint Anne is second only to devotion to Saint Joseph among faithful Catholics since the beginning of the church. Our Lady herself told one of her servants to add to her daily Rosary, One Our Father and One Hail Mary in honor of Saint Anne, Our Lady's holy mother. She also said, "Those who honor Saint Anne will obtain great aid in every need, especially at the hour of death." Our Lady also said to another, "The honor you show to my mother is doubly dear and pleasing to me." Our Lady appeared to a hermit who was filled with bitter anguish of spirit and prayed to her for help, Our Lady said, "Since you are lovingly devoted to me, I will take away all your grief and sorrow of soul, but I admonish you to venerate and praise my dear mother also, if you desire great graces from me. I am highly pleased with the affection accorded to my beloved mother. Know too, that my Son, Jesus, has promised to deliver from misfortune all who honor my mother and to assist them in attaining eternal glory. My son, practice this devotion and make it known." Daily Prayers for the Grandchildren of Saint Anne Memorare to Saint Anne Remember, O Good Saint Anne, whose name means grace and mercy, that never was it know that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, and sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I come before you, sinful and sorrowful. Holy mother of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, and loving grandmother of the Savior, do not reject my appeal, but hear me and answer my prayer. Amen Grandchildren of Saint Anne's Prayer Saint Anne please adopt me as your grandchild, Love me as you love Jesus and Mary, pray for me as your grandchild, and always be my consoler, my advocate. Reconcile me to God. Console me in all my trials; strengthen me in my struggles. Deliver me from danger in my time of need. Help me at the hour of death and open to me the gates of paradise. Also pray for all the intentions of your Grandchildren and that the whole world joins us. We ask this all in the Name of Jesus.

By having Confession before or after Every Mass, you may not need to have to have a separate time for confession, so this may give priests more time. There is no better time spent by a priest than in Confession or Mass, so this brings them both together like never before. Priests will notice Mass attendance will go up as people will come from far and wide if they know they can get Mass and Confession at the same time. Making Confession more available and convenient will bring more graces for everyone. If you are excited about this idea, join our group who will pray and work that every church will have this before or after every Mass. Benefits of the Rosary and the Chaplet Before or After Every Mass: Before or After Every Mass is a perfect time to pray the Rosary as "The Greatest method of Praying is to pray the Rosary!~St. Francis De Sales. Thus, there is no better way to prepare for Mass and thank God after Mass than to pray the Rosary. This will join the parish together like never before as "A Parish who prays Together, Stays Together!" This will eliminate many distractions such as people talking to each other in church when the purpose should be to pray for graces and mercy from God. "Somebody who says his Rosary alone only gains the merit of one Rosary, but if he says it together with thirty other people he gains the merit of thirty Rosaries. This is the law of public prayer. How profitable, how advantageous this is!"~St Louis De Montfort AMAZING GRACE! Praying the Rosary as a group is very powerful. Also, preparing for Mass and thanking God after Mass is so important and these prayers will help us accomplish that. Now you can prepare and thank God in the best way possible and get the graces of many many Rosaries as well. "The Best way to pray the Rosary and which gives Almighty God the greatest glory, does the most for our souls and which the devil fears more than any other, is that of saying or chanting the Rosary publicly in two groups."~St Louis De Montfort The Chaplet is a perfect addition to pray with as well if you have more time after the Rosary. Not only do you get the group effect I mentioned above where one Chaplet prayed with a hundred people counts as a hundred Chaplets for each person. Also, you will also get these powerful graces promised by Jesus to St. Faustina, “Through this chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will.” (Diary, 1731) "It pleases me to grant everything souls ask of me by saying the chaplet. When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one" (Diary 1541) For the Rosary or Chaplet, you may ask the pastor if you can start this before the Mass or after the Mass as I feel it is the best time to pray it. I did this for the first time today Friday, July 28, 2017, and received the grace to form this group from it, so It is Powerful. 10-15 people prayed with me, so I got the grace of about 15 Rosaries and Chaplets and after we had prayed so many people came up and thanked me and said they needed that grace today. They hugged me and said they were praying for me, I said I would do it every time I could see after mass with them and said that they could do it whenever I was not there, it would be great if they do!

I will grant them everything they ask through praying the Way of the Cross with faith. 6.

I will preserve them from sudden death. 8. I promise them my special protection; my hands will always be open to protect them. 9.

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. ... In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion (Diary,1320). As often as you hear the clock strike the third hour, immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it; invoke its omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sinners; for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world — mercy triumphed over justice. ... My daughter, try your best to make the Stations of the Cross in this hour, provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able to make the Stations of the Cross, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy; and should you be unable to step into chapel, immerse yourself in prayer there where you happen to be, if only for a very brief instant (1572). The mission of the DMD’s (Divine Mercy for the Dying) is the conversion of the whole world especially those who are Dying. The moment of death is the most critical moment in a person’s life. This is where the final decision of a person is made to either love God forever or not. Our Goal is to give the dying as much grace as possible through our members praying the Chaplet everyday for them and each other. "Pray as much as you can for the dying. By your entreaties obtain for them trust in My mercy, because they have most need of trust, and have it the least. Be assured that the grace of eternal salvation for certain souls in their final moment depends on your prayer. You know the whole abyss of My mercy, so draw upon it for yourself and especially for poor sinners. Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than would My mercy not embrace a trusting soul" Jesus to St. Faustina (Diary, 1777). “Oh, dying souls are in such great need of prayer! O Jesus, inspire souls to pray often for the dying" (Diary, 1015). ~Saint Faustina "My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you. It pleases Me to grant everything they ask of Me by saying the chaplet…. Write that when they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the merciful Savior~Jesus to St. Faustina (Diary, 1541). "At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the indulgence is the same" (Diary, 811). "It sometimes happens that the dying person is in the second or third building away, yet for the spirit, space does not exist. It sometimes happens that I know about a death occurring several hundred kilometers away. This has happened several times with regard to my family and relatives and also sisters in religion, and even souls whom I have not known during their lifetime" St. Faustina (Diary, 835). "'My daughter, help Me to save a certain dying sinner. Say the chaplet that I have taught you for him.' When I began to say the chaplet, I saw the man dying in the midst of terrible torment and struggle. His Guardian Angel was defending him, but he was, as it were, powerless against the enormity of the soul's misery. A multitude of devils was waiting for the soul. But while I was saying the chaplet, I saw Jesus just as He is depicted in the image. The rays which issued from Jesus' Heart enveloped the sick man, and the powers of darkness fled in panic. The sick man peacefully breathed his last. When I came to myself, I understood how very important the chaplet was for the dying. It appeases the anger of God"~St. Faustina (Diary, 1565). Also throughout the day and night offer as many prayers and sacrifices as you can through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the Dying Souls throughout the world! Never forget your brothers and sisters that need your help!

Behold we now say this Chaplet in the presence of all the Dying throughout the World Today. We ask all of these prayers and graces in the Name of Jesus and that the whole world joins us. Amen The Divine Mercy Chaplet The Our Father Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. The Apostle's Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Then on the "Our Father" beads (before each decade): (Once) Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. On the "Hail Mary" beads (of each decade): (Ten Times) For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Concluding Doxology (after five decades): Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world (Three times). Optional Conclusion Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself (Diary, 950).

Our Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them.~St. John Vianney The "Friends of the Angels" mission is to spread devotion to the Holy Angels especially our own Guardian Angel and prays a short set of prayers during the morning to honor our Guardian Angel and a small prayer whenever you are called to throughout the day to honor all the Holy Angels present around you. "Take courage and pray; your guardian angel will also pray for you, and your prayers will be answered."- Saint John Bosco Beside each believer stands an Angel as protector and shepherd, leading him to life.-St. Basil the Great See, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. Be attentive to him and heed his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin. My authority resides in him. If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. ~Exodus 23:20-22 "The servants of Christ are protected by invisible, rather than visible, beings. But if these guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayer." -- St. Ambrose. "When tempted, invoke your angel. He is more eager to help you than you are to be helped! Ignore the devil and do not be afraid of him; he trembles and flees at the sight of your guardian angel."- Saint John Bosco "Be good. This will make your angel happy. When sorrows and misfortunes, physical or spiritual, afflict you, turn to your guardian angel with strong trust and he will help you."- Saint John Bosco The Angels take great pleasure in helping us with our enterprises, when they are in accordance with God's will.~St. John Vianney The Holy Angels seek in every possible way to share with us this immense ocean of love and happiness which they themselves enjoy. Their generosity knows no bounds. This is a truth that we must do our best to understand fully and clearly. Were a rich man to say to us, “Ask me for everything you wish and I will most readily give it to you,” how happy we should be! Certainly we would not hesitate to ask for all we need. This is exactly what the Angels say to us: “Ask us and we will give you a share of all our treasures, all our graces, all our happiness, and we will give you some of all we have.” Their goodness and generosity are immense…If only we knew them better and loved them more, and were more docile to their constant whisperings, our happiness would be unspeakably great. If we but say, “Holy Angels here present, I honor and love you and give thanks to God for all the glory He has given you.” Every one of these hundreds of Angels will hear and receive with pleasure our greeting and will repay us with a special mark of friendship, for the Angels never do things by halves. They are not like us, poor mortals, they never forget and they never grow cold. When once they are our friends, they are our friends forever. We can also give them immense pleasure by offering mass or our good works in their honor and thanking God for all the beauty and holiness and glory that He has given them. If we do so, they will repay us a thousand times over." Extracted from "All About the Angels" by Father Paul O'Sullivan Tan Books So to join the Friends of the Angels all you have to do is sign up and agree to pray these prayers in the morning. Angel of God my guardian dear to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide.

I am astonished at the great favors which God has bestowed on me through Saint Joseph. ~St Teresa of Avila The Sons and Daughters of Saint Joseph are men and women who seek to deepen their devotion to Saint Joseph through a few simple prayers to him everyday. Also by meditating on his simple, yet powerful life that now continues into eternity. Here is the inspiration for the formation from the Diary of Saint Faustina: Saint Joseph urged me to have a constant devotion to him. He himself told me to recite three prayers [the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be and the Memorare once every day. He looked at me with great kindness and gave me to know how much he is supporting this work [of mercy]. He has promised me this special help and protection. I recite the requested prayers every day and feel his special protection.~Diary of Saint Faustina 1203 Here is the Memorare: Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who implored your help and sought your intercession were left unassisted. Full of confidence in your power I fly unto you and beg your protection. Despise not O Guardian of the Redeemer my humble supplication, but in your bounty, hear and answer me. Amen. Here is the Sons and Daughters of Saint Joseph Prayer: St. Joseph, Please adopt us as your sons and daughters. Teach us how to love as you taught your foster son, Jesus how to love.

So you will pray Everyday: An Our Father, A Hail Mary, and a Glory be, the Memorare and the Sons and Daughters of Saint Joseph prayer. Takes 2 Minutes A Day. Meditations on Saint Joseph:
Saint Joseph was a just man, a tireless worker, the upright guardian of those entrusted to his care. May he always guard, protect and enlighten familes. (Saint John Paul II) St. Joseph was an ordinary sort of man on whom God relied to do great things. He did exactly what the Lord wanted him to do, in each and every event that went to make up his life. (St. Josemaria Escriva) Saint Pope John Paul II on St. Joseph: “Let us imitate our model St. Joseph in all our endevours especially the raising and upbringing of our families. St. Joseph did Great Things in the ordinary things of life. In loving His wife, In loving His Son, and especially loving God and every person who ever lived. Let us start always in our family to love our neighbor. How much the family of today can learn from this! "The essence and role of the family are in the final analysis specified by love. Hence the family has the mission to guard, reveal and communicate love, and this is a living reflection of and a real sharing in God's love for humanity and the love of Christ the Lord for the Church his bride." This being the case, it is in the Holy Family, the original "Church in miniature (Ecclesia domestica)," that every Christian family must be reflected. "Through God's mysterious design, it was in that family that the Son of God spent long years of a hidden life. It is therefore the prototype and example for all Christian families." The Church deeply venerates this Family, and proposes it as the model of all families. Work was the daily expression of love in the life of the Family of Nazareth. The Gospel specifies the kind of work Joseph did in order to support his family: he was a carpenter. This simple word sums up Joseph's entire life. For Jesus, these were hidden years, the years to which Luke refers after recounting the episode that occurred in the Temple: "And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them" (Lk 2:51). This "submission" or obedience of Jesus in the house of Nazareth should be understood as a sharing in the work of Joseph. Having learned the work of his presumed father, he was known as "the carpenter's son." If the Family ofNazareth is an example and model for human families, in the order of salvation and holiness, so too, by analogy, is Jesus' work at the side of Joseph the carpenter. What is crucially important here is the sanctification of daily life, a sanctification which each person must acquire according to his or her own state, and one which can be promoted according to a model accessible to all people: "St. Joseph is the model of those humble ones that Christianity raises up to great destinies;...he is the proof that in order to be a good and genuine follower of Christ, there is no need of great things--it is enough to have the common, simple and human virtues, but they need to be true and authentic." (Extracted from Redemptoris Custos) Apostolic Exhortation of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II On August 15, 1989. St. Teresa of Avila on St. Joseph "I took for my advocate and lord the glorious Saint Joseph and commended myself earnestly to him; and I found that this my father and lord delivered me both from this trouble [a temporary paralysis] and also from other and greater troubles concerning my honor and the loss of my soul, and that he gave me greater blessings than I could ask of him. I do not remember even now that I have ever asked anything of him which he has failed to grant. I am astonished at the great favors which God has bestowed on me through this blessed saint, and at the perils from which He has freed me, both in body and in soul. To other saints the Lord seems to have given grace to succor us in some of our necessities but of this glorious saint my experience is that he succors us in them all and that the Lord wishes to teach us that as He was Himself subject to him on earth (for, being His guardian and being called His father, he could command Him) just so in Heaven He still does all that he asks. This has also been the experience of other persons whom I have advised to commend themselves to him; and even to-day there are many who have great devotion to him through having newly experienced this truth." "I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to this glorious saint, for I have great experience of the blessings which he can obtain from God. I have never known anyone to be truly devoted to him and render him particular services who did not notably advance in virtue, for he gives very real help to souls who commend themselves to him. For some years now, I think, I have made some request of him every year on his festival and I have always had it granted. If my petition is in any way ill directed, he directs it aright for my greater good." “I only beg, for the love of God, that anyone who does not believe me will put what I say to the test, and he will see by experience what great advantages come from his commending himself to this glorious patriarch and having devotion to him. Those who practice prayer should have a special affection for him always. I do not know how anyone can think of the Queen of the Angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Child Jesus, without giving thanks to Saint Joseph for the way he helped them. If anyone cannot find a master to teach him how to pray, let him take this glorious saint as his master and he will not go astray." (St. Teresa of Avila) The Holy Father said that the Church “venerate[s] the legal father of Jesus, because the new man takes form in him, who looks to the future with confidence and courage, does not follow his own project, but entrusts himself totally to the infinite mercy of him who fulfills the prophecies and inaugurates the season of salvation.” (Pope Benedict XVI) My brothers and sisters take St. Joseph as your model and you will advance and climb in virtues to levels unheard of. Before devotion to St. Joseph, I used to follow my own will in regards to my sanctification. I would go to Mass/Blessed Sacrament or do other “Holy things” with no regards to my family. My true great mission that is my vocation to Marriage, I did not want to embrace. I wanted to save the world through my way and in the process I let my family down. St. Joseph showed me through humble obedience to God’s will in my life I would be able to take part in the Great mission to save souls. I had to start that “Mission”with my family. So now if it is not good for my family I may miss daily mass like I did today. My heart is there but I could not go due to family and work requirements. God blesses my desire but even more so blesses me for accepting God’s will that I not live in a church. Thanks to St. Joseph who is teaching us everyday! |
