At the same instant, I received an interior answer from God that a thousand souls had received grace through the prayerful mediation I had offered to God. We do not know the number of souls that is ours to save through our prayers and sacrifices; therefore, let us always pray for sinners.~Saint Faustina (1783 Diary)

Our Lord makes us a present of his most Holy Face, that we may thereby be all-powerful before the throne of God.~Sr. Marie Peter "Let the soul who is desirous of advancing in perfection hasten to My Sacred Heart ~ but he who yearns to make even greater progress and to mount still higher on the wings of desire, must rise with the swiftness of an eagle and hover about my Sacred Face, supported like a seraph, on the wings of overpowering love."(Our Lord to St. Gertrude the Great) The Army of the Face of Jesus' Mission is to convert the whole world to the Love of Jesus through the Powerful Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. To join the Army of the Face of Jesus is very easy and very powerful! The short prayers only take 3 minutes a day and a little longer on Sundays and the promises for those with a Holy Face devotion are not to be missed. PROMISES OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST Revelations to Sr. Mary of St. Peter, 1. By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained. 2. By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God and draw down mercy on sinners. 3. All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica. 4. According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the Seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God. 5. Those who by words, prayers or writings defend My cause in the Work of Reparation, especially My priests, I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom. 6. As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face. 7. Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory. 8. They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven. 9. I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance. "Devotion to the Holy Face….is of such central importance and so vital for us that we cannot live without it.”~Mother Marie Douleurs "I am convinced that one of the most important tasks of the Church is to make the West rediscover the radiant face of Jesus."~Cardinal Sarah TO JOIN THE ARMY OF THE FACE OF JESUS First: Pray a short set of prayers once a day: Mary Our Mother, in a unique way the Holy Face of Jesus belongs to you, please replace our faces disfigured by sin with the Most Holy Face of Jesus, so that we may present ourselves before God the Father worthily. Our Lady place yourself at the head of this holy army, you are the General of the armies of the Lord, more terrible than an army set in battle array! Jesus, you have said that every time that we present your Face to Our Father, your mouth will demand Mercy. We need your Mercy more than ever! Unleash your Mercy on the Whole World! Unleash Heaven with all the Angels and Saints to defend us in our battles against the Evil One! Oh God! Our Protector! Look upon us, and cast thine eyes on the Face of thy Christ! ETERNAL FATHER, we offer You the Holy Face of Jesus, covered with blood, sweat, dust, tears and spit, and swollen shut right eye in reparation for the crimes of communists, blasphemers, and for the profaners of the Holy Name and of the Holy Day of Sunday. Our Savior Jesus promised that all the affairs of our household will be settled, and that nothing whatsoever will be refused to us, we now come before Your throne to ask for all our intentions, and the healing, conversion, and salvation of the whole world and that the whole world joins us. We ask this all in the Name of Jesus. May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible 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. Amen One Our Father, One Hail Mary, One Glory Be. Second: Put on the Lord Jesus Christ~Romans 13:14 I place My Holy Face in your hands that you may offer it unceasingly to My Father~Jesus to Sr. Marie Peter Anytime you pray you can renew your prayers with a wink of the right eye. This eye was shut during the beating Christ took during His Passion and now you close that eye to remind the Father that you are wearing the Holy Face of Jesus. Thus, whenever you pray you go before the Father with the Power and Majesty of the Holy Face of Jesus over your face. God the Father can refuse you nothing when He sees the Face of His Beloved Son. So through praying with the Right eye closed from time to time (not while driving...) you remind yourself and God the Father that you are in the Army of the Face of Jesus! Third: Carry a Holy Face Reparation Cross with the words, “Blessed be the Name of God,” and on the reverse “Begone, Satan.” To all those wearing this holy cross Our Lord promised a special resourcefulness to conquer the demon of blasphemy, adding that every time one hears a curse, he should repeat the words inscribed on the cross to overcome the evil one and render glory to God. www.ultimatedecaderosaries.com/product-page/ultimate-decade-rosary-for-miracles Fourth: Pray the Reparations Prayers on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation PRAYERS OF REPARATION TO THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS, as requested by Our Lord Jesus Christ preferably before the Blessed Sacrament or before the picture of the Holy Face. Dear Lord, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I (we) offer Thee these prayers in reparation for the sins which offend God the most in these modern times – the sins of BLASPHEMY and the PROFANATION OF SUNDAY and Thy Holy Days of Obligation: LITANY OF THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS I salute Thee, I adore Thee and I love Thee, O adorable Face of Jesus, my Beloved, noble Seal of the Divinity! outraged anew by blasphemers. I offer Thee, through the heart of Thy blessed Mother, the worship of all the Angels and Saints, most humbly beseeching Thee to repair and renew in me and in all men Thine Image disfigured by sin. O adorable Face which was adored, with profound respect, by Mary and Joseph when they saw Thee for the first time, have mercy on us. O adorable Face which ravished with joy, in the stable of Bethlehem, the Angels, the shepherds and the magi, have mercy… O adorable Face which transpierced with a dart of love in the Temple, the saintly old man Simeon and the prophetess Anna, have mercy… O adorable Face which filled with admiration the Doctors of the Law when Thou appeared in the Temple at the age of twelve years, have mercy… O adorable Face which possesses beauty always ancient and always new, have mercy… O adorable Face which is the masterpiece of the Holy Ghost, in which the Eternal Father is well pleased, have mercy… O adorable Face which is the ineffable mirror of the divine perfections, have mercy… Adorable Face of Jesus which was so mercifully bowed down on the Cross, on the day of Thy Passion, for the salvation of the world! Once more today in pity bend down towards us poor sinners. Cast upon us a glance of compassion and give us Thy peace. O adorable Face which became brilliant like the sun and radiant with glory, on the Mountain of Thabor, have mercy… O adorable Face which wept and was troubled at the tomb of Lazarus, have mercy… O adorable Face which was rendered sad at the sight of Jerusalem, and shed tears on that ungrateful city, have mercy… O adorable Face which was bowed down to the ground in the Garden of Olives, and covered with confusion for our sins, have mercy… O adorable Face which was covered with the sweat of blood, have mercy… O adorable Face which was struck by a vile servant, covered with a veil of shame, and profaned by the sacrilegious hands of Thine enemies, have mercy… O adorable Face which by Its divine glance, wounded the heart of St. Peter with a dart of sorrow and love, have mercy… Be merciful to us, O my God! Do not reject our prayers, when in the midst of our afflictions, we call upon Thy Holy Name and seek with love and confidence Thine adorable Face. O adorable Face which was washed and anointed by Mary and the holy women and covered with a shroud, have mercy… O adorable Face which was all resplendent with glory and beauty on the day of the Resurrection, have mercy… O adorable Face which is hidden in the Eucharist, have mercy… O adorable Face which will appear at the end of time in the clouds with great power and great majesty, have mercy… O adorable Face which will make sinners tremble, have mercy… O adorable Face which will fill the just with joy for all eternity, have mercy… O adorable Face which merits all our reverence, our homage and our adoration, have mercy… O Lord, show us Thy Face, and we shall be saved! O Lord, show us Thy Face, and we shall be saved! O Lord, show us Thy Face, and we shall be saved! PRAYER TO OFFER THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER TO APPEASE HIS JUSTICE AND DRAW DOWN MERCY UPON US Almighty and Eternal Father, since it has pleased Our Divine Savior to reveal to mankind in modern times the power residing in His Holy Face, we now avail ourselves of this Treasure in our great need. Since Our Savior Himself promised that by offering to Thee His Holy Face disfigured in the Passion we can procure the settlement of all the affairs of our household, and that nothing will be refused to us, we now come before Thy throne. Eternal Father, turn away Thine angry gaze from our guilty people whose face has become unsightly in Thine eyes. Look instead upon the Face of Thy Beloved Son; for this is the Face of Him in whom Thou art well pleased. We now offer Thee His Holy Face covered with blood, sweat, dust, spittle and shame, in reparation for the worst crimes of our age, which are atheism, blasphemy, and the desecration of Thy holy days. We thus hope to appease Thine anger justly provoked against us. The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our cause; listen to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through the merits of His Holy Face hearken to Him when He intercedes for us poor miserable sinners. “Let us pray to St. Michael, who always defeats the devil”~Pope Francis Anyone who has a devotion to Saint Michael should become one of Saint Michael’s Warriors where we pray powerful prayers to call down the protection of Saint Michael everyday and spread his devotion in anyway we can. Saint Michael is God’s Greatest Angel for he always gave God the Glory and his name means “Who is Like God” and his mission is to defend God’s People. To join you only need to pray these two prayers in the morning. Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou O prince of the heavenly host by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen Saint Michael, God's Greatest Angel, you gave God the glory, God gave you the power to defeat our enemies, especially Satan. Please place all our intentions before the throne of God and intercede for us. Saint Michael rise with your legion of angels and defend your Warriors and pray that the whole world joins us. and Throughout the day whenever you feel the need for even more protection you can pray this short prayer. Saint Michael, God’s Greatest Angel, rise with your legion of angels and defend your Warriors! Also carry with you a medal of Saint Michael with you as it is a silent prayer to him throughout the day for his special protection! Here is Saint Michael's Ultimate Decade Rosary for Protection: www.ultimatedecaderosaries.com/product-page/saint-michael-s-ultimate-decade-rosary-for-protection Here are two stories of Saint Michael’s protection: SAINT MICHAEL SAVES A MARINE IN AFGANISTAN "But next to him was Cpl. Christopher Ahrens, who quietly mentioned that two bullets had grazed his helmet the day the Marines attacked Marjah. The same thing, he said, happened to him three times in firefights in Iraq. Cpl. Ahrens, 26, from Havre de Grace, Md., lifted the camouflaged cloth cover on his helmet, exposing the holes where the bullets had entered and exited. He turned it over to display the picture card tucked inside, depicting Michael the Archangel stamping on Lucifer's head. "I don't need luck," he said." From the article in Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703562404575067550355712126.html You do not need luck, you need the protection of God's Greatest Angel. Here is a Story of a Medal of Honor Recipient and Navy Seal: The official citation reads: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a Hostage Rescue Force Team Member in Afghanistan in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM on 8-9 December 2012. As the rescue force approached the target building, an enemy sentry detected them and darted inside to alert his fellow captors. The sentry quickly reemerged, and the lead assaulter attempted to neutralize him. Chief Byers, with his team, sprinted to the door of the target building. As the primary breacher, Chief Byers stood in the doorway fully exposed to the enemy fire while ripping down six layers of heavy blankets fastened to the inside ceiling and walls to clear a path for the rescue force. The first assaulter pushed his way through the blankets, and was mortally wounded by enemy small arms fire from within. Chief Byers, completely aware of the imminent threat, fearlessly rushed into the room and engaged an enemy guard aiming an AK-47 at him. He then tackled another adult male who had darted towards the corner of the room. During the ensuing hand-to-hand struggle, Chief Byers confirmed the man was not the hostage and engaged him. As the other rescue team members called out to the hostage, Chief Byers heard a voice respond in English and raced toward it. He jumped atop the American hostage and shielded him from the high volume of fire within the small room. While covering the hostage with his body, Chief Byers immobilized another guard with his bare hands, and restrained the guard until a teammate could eliminate him. His bold and decisive actions under fire saved the lives of the hostage and several of his teammates. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of near-certain death, Chief Petty Officer Byers reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. His own words at the Medal of Honor acceptance speech: On my first deployment to Iraq some eleven years ago, I arrived in country and I saw another SEAL standing there with a St. Michael the Archangel patch on his shoulder. I’m not sure what drew me to it, but I walked up to him and asked him if I could have it. He was leaving the combat zone and made it through a safe deployment, so he was absolutely willing to give it to me. He handed it to me without hesitation. I’ve worn that patch on my kit on every single mission I’ve ever been a part of, and I prayed the St. Michael prayer while moving in the toughest missions I faced. And it does start by saying, “St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle and be our protection. The Dolorians pray a set of short prayers that take only 2 minutes a day to pray and there are so many promises that they obtain through prayers plus each member prays for each other as well so that union of prayer also obtains even more graces as the weak are upheld by the strong members. Through the graces of these prayers and through spreading the message of the Dolorians may all our members obtain happiness in this life and for eternity afterwards. The main prayer of the Dolorian is 7 Hail Mary's prayed while meditating on the Seven Dolors of Mary. Our Lady directly reveals the amazing graces granted by her Son for all those who daily pray 7 Hail Mary's(One for each Dolor) while meditating on her 7 dolors and tears: She said that she will: 1. "She will grant peace to our families." 2. "We will be enlightened about the Divine Mysteries." 3. "She will console us in our pains and She will accompany us in our work." 4. "She will give us as much as we ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of her Divine Son or the sanctification of our souls." 5. "She will defend us in our spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and She will protect us at every instant of our lives." 6. "She will visibly help us at the moment of our death—we will see the face of our mother." 7. "She has obtained this grace from her divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to her tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son will be their eternal consolation and joy." The purpose of the Dolorians is to promote union with the sufferings of Christ through union with the special suffering that Our Lady endured because she was the Mother of God. By uniting ourselves with both the Passion of Christ and His holy Mother, we enter into Jesus' Heart and honor Him greatly; He is more honored because we have so honored His Mother. Jesus Christ Himself revealed to the Blessed Veronica da Binasco, that He is, as it were, more pleased in seeing His Mother compassionated than Himself; for thus He addressed her: "My daughter, tears shed for My Passion are dear to Me; but as I love My Mother Mary with an immense love, the meditation of the torments which she endured at My death is even more agreeable to Me." Our Lord also had revealed to St. Bridget in another part of Revelations: "My Mother and I saved man as with one heart only, I by suffering in my Heart and my flesh, she by the sorrow and love of her heart." So great a love on the part of Mary deserves our gratitude, and that gratitude should be shown by at least meditating upon and pitying her in her sorrow. But she complained to Saint Bridget that very few did so, and that the greater part of the world lived in forgetfulness of them: "I look around at all who are on earth, to see if by chance there are any who pity me, and meditate upon my sorrows; and I find that there are very few. Therefore, my daughter, though I am forgotten by many, at least do thou not forget me; consider my anguish, and imitate, as far as thou canst, my grief." So Resolve today to spend at least two minutes a day meditating on the 7 Dolors and join the Dolorians where we pray these everyday together throughout the world to obtain grace for ourselves and all of our members each day. The Dolorian Prayer (Prayed Daily) Our Sorrowful Mother we come before you with prayers for all the Dolorians to receive the graces you have promised to obtain from your Divine Son, Jesus. Especially the Grace of Peace in our Families, to console us in our pains, accompany us in our work, defend us in our spiritual battles, and protect us at every instant of our lives. Also you have said to give us whatsoever we ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of your Divine Son or the sanctification of our souls, so behold we now ask you for all our intentions and that the whole world joins us. We ask this all in the Name of Jesus. Amen Now Pray 7 Hail Mary’s while Meditating on her Seven Sorrows (Meditations for these are below): (Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death. Amen 1. The Prophecy of Simeon 2.The Flight into Egypt 3. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple 4.

I use this Screen Background on my computer at work so that I have a triple blessing and huge graces while I am writing this for you and doing my daily work. I have the screen background above and I make my usable portion such as when I write this below it. So I come up to Jesus' chin with my open links. Above me, Lord and Saviour is looking down upon me in four different forms and one of Our Lady. I have enclosed the promises of those who look upon the images below. You are welcome to copy the image and use on your own screen background. God Bless you, your brother, Brian
DIVINE MERCY IMAGE PROMISES Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory (Diary, 47, 48). I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You (327). I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world (47). The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him (299). By means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works (742). HOLY FACE PROMISES "Every time My Face is contemplated I will pour out My Love into the hearts of those persons, and by means of My Holy Face the salvation of many souls will be obtained." (Our Lord Jesus Christ to Sister Pierina) Our Lord told Sister Mary of Saint Peter, 1. All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica. According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face, disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God. 2. Those who by words, prayers or writing defend My cause in this Work of Reparation I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom. 3. By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained. 4. By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God, and draw down mercy on sinners. 5. As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face. 6.Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory. 7.They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven. 8. I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance. BLESSED SACRAMENT PROMISES "Mostly [St.] Bernadette's thoughts were fixed beyond this earth. 'During her long nights,' reported Canon Perreau, 'she used to say the Rosary.' At other times she placed herself as it were in adoration before the Tabernacle. On her curtains had been fastened the picture of a monstrance. 'I am happy in my sleepless hours,' she confided to Mother Audidier, 'uniting myself with our Lord. One glance at this picture gives me the longing and strength to immolate myself, when I am feeling my loneliness and my pains.'" - Saint Bernadette Soubirous, Francis Trochu "Wherever I may be I will often think of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I will fill my thoughts with the holy tabernacle (even when I happen to wake up at night) adoring Him from where I am, calling to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, offering up to Him the action in which I am engaged. I will install one telegraph cable from my study to the Church, another from my bedroom, and a third from our refectory; and as often as I can, I will send messages of love to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament." - Andrew Beltrami "The daily adoration or visit to the Blessed Sacrament is the practice which is the fountainhead of all devotional works" - Pope St. Pius X When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then, when you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now." - Mother Teresa of Calcutta "A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament." - St. Padre Pio "Do you want the Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit Him rarely. Do you want the devil to attack you? Visit Jesus rarely in the Blessed Sacrament. Do you want him to flee from you? Visit Jesus often. Do you want to conquer the devil? Take refuge often at the feet of Jesus. Do you want to be conquered by the devil? Forget about visiting Jesus. My dear ones, the visit to the Blessed Sacrament is an extremely necessary way to conquer the devil. Therefore, go often to visit Jesus and the devil will not come out victorious against you." - St. John Bosco "Certainly amongst all devotions, after that of receiving the sacraments, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament holds first place, is most pleasing to God, and most useful to ourselves. Do not then, O devout soul, refuse to begin this devotion; and forsaking the conversation of men, dwell each day, from this time forward, for at least half or quarter of an hour, in some church, in the presence of Jesus Christ under the sacramental species. Taste and see how sweet is the Lord." - St. Alphonsus Liguori "When I stand up to talk, people listen to me; they will follow what I have to say. Is it any power of mine? Of course not. St. Paul says, 'What have you that you have not received and you who have received, why do you glory as if you had not?' But the secret of my power is that I have never in fifty-five years missed spending an hour in the presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. That's where the power comes from. That's where sermons are born. That's where every good thought is conceived." - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen "Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer." - Mother Teresa of Calcutta "I encourage Christians regularly to visit Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament, for we are all called to abide in the presence of God." - Pope John Paul II "The faith I have when I am in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament is so strong that I find it impossible to express what I feel….When the time comes to leave I must force myself to overcome the inclination to prolong my stay with Jesus." - St. Anthony Mary Claret "From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others." - Pope John Paul II "I understand that, each time we contemplate with desire and devotion the Host in which is hidden Christ's Eucharistic Body, we increase our merits in heaven and secure special joys to be ours later in the beatific vision of God." - St. Gertrude "The Eucharist bathes the tormented soul in light and love. Then the soul appreciates these words, 'Come all you who are sick, I will restore your health.'" - St. Bernadette Soubirous “Yes, I am happy, perfectly happy; and do you wish to know where I find true happiness? At the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament," - Augustine Maria of the Blessed Sacrament, Herman Cohen "What happiness do we not feel in the presence of God, when we find ourselves alone at his feet, before the holy tabernacle! … 'Come, my soul, redouble your ardor! You are here alone to adore your God! His look rests on you alone!' Ah! if we only had the angels' eyes! Seeing our Lord Jesus Christ here, on that altar, and looking at us, how we should love him! We should want to stay always at his feet; it would be a foretaste of heaven; everything else would become insipid to us." - St. John Vianney "I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to My desire, to allay this thirst by making Me some return of love." - Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth." - Mother Teresa of Calcutta "The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host." - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen The Child Jesus "I keep company with you as a child to teach you humility and simplicity"~Jesus to St. Faustina "Jesus has chosen to show me the only way that leads to the divine furnace of love; it is the way of childlike self-surrender, the way of a child who sleeps, afraid of nothing in its Father's arms."~St. Therese "I saw Our Lady with the Infant Jesus ... . The most holy Mother said to me, 'Take my Dearest Treasure,' and she handed me the Infant Jesus. When I took the Infant Jesus in my arms, the Mother of God and Saint Joseph disappeared. I was left alone with the Infant Jesus"~St. Faustina "I saw the Infant Jesus near my kneeler. He appeared to be about one year old, and He asked me to take Him in my arms. When I did take Him in my arms, He cuddled up close to my bosom and said, "It is good for Me to be close to your heart. ... Because I want to teach you spiritual childhood. I want you to be very little, because when you are little, I carry you close to My Heart, just as you are holding Me close to your heart right now"~St. Faustina "I was left alone with the Infant Jesus who stretched out His little hands to me, and I understood that I was to take Him in my arms. Jesus pressed His head against my heart and gave me to know, by His profound gaze, how good He found it to be next to my heart"~St. Faustina "If the Redeemer had come to be feared and respected by men, He would have come as a full-grown man and with royal dignity: but because He came to gain our love, He chose to come and to show Himself as an infant and the poorest of infants, born in a cold stable between two animals, laid in a manger on straw, without clothing or fire to warm His shivering limbs: "Thus would He be born, who willed to be loved and not feared."~St. Alphonsus Ligouri “Ask all that you desire through the merits of My Holy Infancy, Nothing will be refused." (Revealed to Ven. Sister Margaret of the Blessed Sacrament) Saint Thérèse placed an Infant statue in the novitiate at Lisieux when she had charge of the novices, because she knew how many blessings the Divine Child brought to the Carmelite novices in Prague when it was placed in their midst. The same statue still stands in the cloister at Lisieux. Saint Rose of Lima had great compassion towards her neighbor. She knew that by showing compassion to the sick , she was showing compassion to God. So, a room in her house known as “The Infirmary” was set aside for her to care for the poor and sick of Peru. Everyone could count on Rose charity, she did not refuse to help anyone, “no matter how sickening a disease might be.” Many people reported that they had been cured at “The Infirmary” especially after her little statue of the Child Jesus had touched them. Rose herself called the little statue, “The Little Doctor.” Our Lady's Image from the Pieta Booklet Mary is the mirror in which we should ever watch ourselves; the Mother whom her children ought to resemble more and more. ~Bl Titus Brandsma This picture of Our Lady was drawn by a mystic in Italy. Her hand was guided by Our Lady. There is a special blessing given each day to the person who carries it and another blessing given each time one looks at it with love. |
