AMDG (AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM) ALL FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD 

“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.”

First Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians, Chapter 10, Verse 31
“All wisdom is from the Lord God, and hath been always with him, and is before all time.”
Ecclesiasticus 1:1

"I will praise thy name continually, and will praise it with thanksgiving, and my prayer was heard." 

Ecclesiasticus Chapter 51 Verse 15.

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

This prayer was revealed by Our Lord to a Carmelite Nun of Tours in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy. "This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully," He said,"and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy." Imprimatur + T. J. Toolen, Archbishop of Mobile-Birm.

PRAYER: "Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess.  Thou hast given all to me.  To thee, O Lord, I return it.  All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will.  Give me Thy love and Thy grace, for this is sufficient for me."   St. Ignatius of Loyola 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 MESSAGE OF WORLD-WIDE IMPORTANCE

Devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary

This Message was confided by Our Lord to Berthe Petit, a humble Franciscan Tertiary, born on January 23, 1870, at Enghien, Belgium:

"Teach souls to love the Heart of My Mother pierced by the very sorrows which pierced Mine." (December 25, 1909) At the Holy Hour (March 25, 1912) the Blessed Virgin spoke thus"I have called myself the Immaculate Conception.  To you I call myself Mother of the Sorrowful Heart.  This title willed by my Son is dear to me above all others.  According as it is spread everywhere, there will be granted graces of mercy, spiritual renewal and salvation."

PRAYER
(Composed by Berthe Petit)
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, dwelling pure and holy, cover my soul with your maternal protection so that being ever faithful to the voice of Jesus, it responds to His love and obeys His Divine Will. I wish, O, my Mother, to keep unceasingly before me your co-redemption in order to live intimately with your Heart that is totally united to the Heart of your Divine Son. Fasten me to this Heart by your own virtues and sorrows. Protect me always.

"Praised Be JESUS CHRIST The King And Mary Forever!!! Amen!!!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Glory Be To Jesus and Mary

A letter written by the Blessed Virgin Mary to the City of Messina where St. Paul, the Apostle preached the gospel, which has been preserved in the Reliquary of the great altar.

"I, Mary Virgin, servant of God, very humble Mother of Jesus Christ, Son of God, the Almighty and Eternity, to all who are in Messina, health and benediction in Our Lord.  You have learned by the ambassadors who have been sent to you.  You received the gospel and you acknowledged that the Son of God has become man, and has suffered the passion and death of the world, and that He is Christ and also the true Messiah.  I beseech you to persevere, promising to you, and all your posterity, to assist you in the presence of My Son."

Mary Virgin, very humble servant of God

(Great graces are given to those who carry a copy of this letter.)


"For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth."  Ecclesiasticus, Chapter 2, Verse 13. 

Dear Brothers & Sisters In Christ & All People Of Good Will,

“I shall pass through this world but once, if therefore, there be any good thing I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature,

let me do it now, let me not defer it nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. Anonymous

We All Have A Mission:

“God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.
He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work.

I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.

Therefore, I will trust Him, whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me. Still, He knows what He is about.” John Henry Newman 

ALWAYS REMEMBER:  "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the highplaces." Ephesians Chapter 6, Verse 12 

ZEAL FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS

“Zeal for the salvation of souls is so great a merit before God, that to give up all our goods to the poor, or to tender our whole life in exercises of all sorts of austerities cannot equal the merit of it. There is no service more agreeable to God than this one.  To employ one’s life in this blessed labor is more pleasing to the Divine Majesty than to suffer martyrdom.  Would you not feel if you could spend large sums of money in corporal works of mercy?   But know, that he who labors for the salvation of souls does far more, nay, the zeal of souls is of far greater merit before Good…than the working of miracles.”  St. John Chrysostom

As a FOLLOWER of JESUS CHRIST, you might want to say the following THE DISCIPLE'S  PRAYER as you REACH out to others.

Crusade Prayer (72 )THE DISCIPLE'S PRAYER  

Dear Jesus I am ready to spread your Holy Word. Give me the courage, the strength and knowledge to impart the Truth so that as many souls can be brought to you.

Take me into your Sacred Heart and cover me with your Precious Blood, so that I am filled with the graces to spread conversion for the salvation of all of God's children in every part of the world no matter what their creed is.

I trust in you always. Your beloved disciple. Amen 

"THE PRAYER OF THE ROSARY IS FOR EVERYONE"

"Make ready your soul for the Lord!" (Jesus of Nazareth to Virginia Pelly)

"To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts." Psalms 94:3 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Prayer Of The Rosary Is For Everyone

        "For Christians, the first of books is the Gospel, and the Rosary is actually the abridgement of the Gospel."  (Lacordaire)

         "The Holy Rosary," writes Father Francis Donelly, "is the life of Jesus seen through the eyes of Mary, His Mother, and whispered in divine prayers.  When you say the Rosary you have the words of heaven on your lips, you have the love of Mary in your hearts, you have the life of Christ in your thoughts."  These three (3) elements form the heart of the Rosary.

         The prayers are called the words of Heaven, because, of the two (2) main prayers of the Rosary, one (The Lord's Prayer) is entirely of divine origin, and the other (The Hail Mary) is a combination of the words of God through an angel, the inspired words of Elizabeth, and traditional Christian teaching.

         The Rosary is a unique combination of vocal prayer and scriptural meditation whereby we not only recall to mind the main events of the life of Christ, but actually relive these events and feel a part of them. While we are meditating on the life of Christ, the repitition of the Hail Mary keeps calling us back to the realization that Mary shared in these events, and that we are called to share in them too; for Mary in her humanity represents the intimacy of love, obedience, and total abandonment to the will of God that we all can and should strive to possess.  She is the model and the symbol of what God through His grace can accomplish in us.

         We begin the Rosary with the Annunciation, reliving in spirit the actual moment when the Word became flesh, and our redemption truly began.  The Rosary then, began at the moment when Christ was first conceived in Mary, follows her sharing of the joy and agony of His life and death, and ends with her union with Him in Heaven to share in His Glory.

        What we are actually doing in the Rosary in a spiritual sense, is reliving and prefiguring God's eternal plan for all mankind.  We are called like Mary, to have Christ conceived within us, to feel the Joy of His Presence, to suffer His Crucifixion, to die with Him, and to share the Glory of His Resurrection.

        As we finish our meditation on each mystery, the last Hail Mary flows into the Doxology, the beautiful song of praise that reminds us of the goal and purpose of all life and the timeless unity of all creation in the life of the Trinity.

               Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.  As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

        The Lord's Prayer at the beginning of each mystery, keeps us aware throughout each meditation, that everything that happens is the Will of God.  The awesome dignity and majesty of God Himself, the Father, the Creator of all things, is kept constantly before us, and we realize again and again that everything that happened to Christ and that happens to us who must follow Him, is the Will of the Father, and leads to never-ending glory.

The Fifteen Promises of Mary to Christians Who Recite the Rosary

  1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the rosary, shall receive signal graces.
  2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the rosary.
  3. The rosary shall be a powerful armour against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
  4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things.  Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
  5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the rosary, shall not perish.
  6. Whoever shall recite the rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune.  God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life
  7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
  8. Those who are faithful to recite the rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
  9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the rosary.
  10. The faithful children of the rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.
  11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the rosary.
  12. All those who propagate the holy rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
  13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestal court during their life and at the hour of death.
  14. All who recite the rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only son Jesus Christ.
  15. Devotion of my rosary is a great sign of predestination.

He Prayed The Rosary

        Over a hundred years ago a university student found himself seated in a train by the side of a person who seemed to be a well-to-do

peasant.  He was praying the Rosary and moving the beads in his fingers.

        "Sir, so you still believe in such outdated things?" asked the student of the man.

       "Yes, I do.  Do you not?" asked the man.

        The student burst out into a laughter and said, "I do not believe in such silly things.  Take my advice.  Throw the Rosary out through

the window, and learn what science has to say about it."

        "Science? I do not understand this science? Perhaps you can explain it to me." the man said humbly with some tears in his eyes.

        The student saw that the man was deeply moved.  So to avoid further hurting the feelings of the man, he said:

       "Please give me your address and I will send you some literature on the matter."

        The man fumbled in the inside pocket of his coat and gave the boy his visiting card.  On glancing at the card, the student, bowed

his head in shame and became silent.  On the card he read:

       "Luis Pasteur, Director of the Institute of Scientific Research, Paris."
