Reparation Prayer for the First Saturday in September 2024

   

O Most Holy Virgin and our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns which ungrateful men place therein at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. 

Moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart, we prostrate ourselves at your feet to prove the sorrow we feel for the grievance that men cause you, and to atone, by means of our prayers and sacrifices, for the offenses with which men return your tender love.

Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. A word from you will obtain grace and amendment for us all.

Hasten, O Lady, the conversion of sinners, that they may love Jesus and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended, and will not fall into hell. Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, that henceforth we may love God with all our heart while on earth and enjoy Him forever in heaven. 

Amen.

Carlo Acutis Canonization Moves Forward in Rome

Carlo Acutis, our young blessed, will be canonized as a saint of the Catholic Church.

Carlo Acutis, from the Vatican News

Pope Francis with Church Cardinals approved the canonization of the "millennial" who was born in 1991 and died at age 15 in 2006. It is expected that the canonization ceremony take place in the 2025 Jubilee Year.

The teen's devotion to Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions, which he cataloged online, continues to bring millions of people to Jesus and his Most Holy Mother Mary. 

He is a wonder-worker, for certain, so do not hesitate to call upon Carlo for his aid and to lead us closer to the Most Blessed Sacrament. 

Prayer from the Carlo Acutis website

Oh God, Our Father, thank you for giving us Carlo,  a life example for the young and a message of love for everyone.

You made him become enamored with Your Son Jesus, Making of the Eucharist his "Highway to Heaven." You gave him Mary, as a most loving Mother, and, with the Rosary, you made him a poet of her tenderness. Receive his prayer for us. Above all, gaze upon the poor,  whom he loved and helped. 

Grant for me too, by his intercession, the grace that I need ...

And make our joy fulfilled, placing Carlo among the saints of your Church, so that his smile may shine again for us in the glory of your name. Amen.

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. (Pray 3 times.)

Prayer for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Holy Mother of God, and our tender Mother, look upon the distress in which the whole of mankind is living due to the spread of materialism, godlessness, and the persecution of the Catholic Faith. 

In our own day, the Mystical Body of Christ is bleeding from so many wounds caused within the Church by the unpunished spread of heresies, the justification of sins against the Sixth Commandment, the seeking of the kingdom of earth rather than that of heaven, the horrendous sacrileges against the Most Holy Eucharist, especially through the practice of Communion in the hand, and the Protestant shaping of the celebration of the Holy Mass. Amidst these trials appeared the light of the consecration of Russia to thine Immaculate Heart by the Pope, in union with the world’s bishops. 

In Fatima thou didst request the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays of the month. Implore thy Divine Son to grant a special grace to the Pope, that he might approve the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. 

May Almighty God hasten the time when Russia will convert to Catholic unity, mankind will be given a time of peace, and the Church will be granted an authentic renewal in the purity of the Catholic Faith, the sacredness of divine worship, and the holiness of Christian life. O Mediatrix of all graces, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and our sweet Mother, turn thine eyes of mercy towards us and graciously hear this our trusting prayer. Amen.

Prayer for Our Lord's Guidance

My Lord, be my Good Shepherd, my Master, my Friend, my Light. 

I ask You to light my way each day as You walk with me on the path to Heaven. 

Despite earthly hardships and uncertainties, You remain steadfast in your care and as a constant source of love for me. Bring me peace and carry me home. Amen.

Daily Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit

If you are in need of greater faith, strength, understanding and assistance, then start each day with an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for the gifts of the Most Holy Spirit; pray it seven times for each gift: Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, Fear of the Lord.

O Lord Jesus Christ Who, before ascending into heaven did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me that He may perfect in my soul, the work of Your grace and Your love.  

Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Your divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with You and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints, the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable, and the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him.  

Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Your true disciples and animate me in all things with Your Spirit. Amen.

Consecration of Your Family to the Blessed Virgin Mary

O Immaculate Virgin Mother, who is Queen of heaven and earth, our life, our sweetness, and our hope, on this day I bring my entire family before you to consecrate ourselves to you as your possession and property. We praise God because he has brought us together to give ourselves to you our Mother. We do this because Jesus said on the Cross, “Behold your Mother.”

We need you, Mother Mary, to help us to be a truly Catholic family. Enter into our family life. Repeat to us the words you spoke at Cana, “Do whatever He tells you.”

Help us to overlook one another’s faults, to forgive as Jesus has forgiven us, and to love one another as Our Lord has asked us to love.

Please use our family to crush the head of the serpent. 

Ask your Spouse, Saint Joseph, Protector of the universal Church, to keep us one in mind and heart with your Son’s Vicar, Pope Francis.

Today you have become the Queen of our hearts and home. Help us to grow in faith through your grace. May our home be a “City of the Immaculata,” where the Sacred Heart of Jesus reigns forever. Amen.

Saint Anthony Feast Day Prayer, June 13, 2024

Let us pray to our dear friend in heaven, Saint Anthony, who works many miracles. Yes, he is the finder of lost objects, but he guides souls to Jesus's tender Mercy. Ask Saint Anthony today to guide us to our beloved Jesus, Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph.

Prayer: O gentle Saint Anthony, by your holy and apostolic life, you led countless souls to the love of our Divine Lord. I implore you to obtain for me and my loved ones, His guidance, you who have the power to lead straying sheep back to the fold of Christ and to find articles that are lost. On earth, your heart was filled with compassion for those in distress or sorrow. Please bring my request before the Child Jesus, Who loved to rest in your arms, and I believe that you will help me to remain always close to our Divine Lord. O miraculous friend and Wonder Worker, in this hour of need please obtain what I ask of you. Amen.
