The Pieta Prayer Book

LA PIETA PRAYER BOOK
THE READER
This Prayer Book represents an effort to apply scientific methods to the truths of our
Roman and Catholic faith. By this means it is hoped to obtain more grace to better serve
God. Particularly it is hoped to extract Divine grace from this gigantic source of infinite
Goodness and Mercy . For this is a spring that has remained virtually unused and
consists of Prophetic Revelations.
"In matters of Prophetic Revelations, the sovereign pontiff is the only judge!"
Pope Leo X (5th Lateran Council, 1513)
DEDICATION
The Blessed Virgin has said: "You, love me; and make others love me too. "Of course,
this revised edition of the Devotionary of "La Pieta" is dedicated to You, Our Beloved
Lady of Ephesus. It is an act of love to honor Your Assumption into Heaven. "I belong
entirely to You, O Queen and my Mother; and all that is mine is Yours."
PURPOSE
The Holy Scripture tells us this: "Pray without ceasing." Also, Saint Paul of the Cross
has written: "When we neglect prayer, we embark on the broad path of perdition." Dr.
Alexis Carrel wrote the following: "If you get used to prayer, your life will change
profoundly." Although he had been a scientist, the doctor applied himself to prayer. He
considered prayer to be the most sublime activity of man. Furthermore, he always said
that: "The art of arts is knowing how to converse with God."
We sincerely hope that this Devotionary of "La Pieta" is beneficial to souls. May it be
a spiritual instrument for those who wish to develop a daily prayer life. We ask the
angels who moved the Holy House of Loreto with so much love, to propagate this
Devotionary. We ask that people who wish to pray a little more be introduced after
having prayed the Holy Rosary daily.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

The Fifteen Prayers
Revealed By Our Lord To
Saint Brigid of Sweden
In the Church of Saint Paul, in Rome
Edited under the sanction of the decree of November 15, 1966, published in the Acta
Apostolicae Sedis, volume 58, number 16, of December 29, 1966.
PRAYERS
approved by Pope Pius IX
Magnificent promises transmitted to Saint Bridget of Sweden Regarding the Revelations of

Saint Bridget, Pope Benedict XV expressed himself as follows:
"The approval of these revelations implies nothing more than this: After slow and careful
examination, these revelations are permitted to be published for the spiritual good of all the
faithful. And, although the same degree of faith is not attributed to them, just as they are
surrendered to the truths of religion under penalty; however, they are allowed to believe with
human faith. That is, according to the rules of prudence, by which they are probable.
Therefore, being already adequately affirmed and supported by sufficient reasons, they can be
piously believed." "
(Les Petits Bollandistes, Volume XII)
On June 14, 1303, Saint Brigid was born. At that moment, the Priest of Rasbo, called
Benito, was praying for a happy birth for Mrs. Ingeborde. Suddenly, the priest found
himself wrapped in a luminous cloud and from which the Holy Virgin appeared to him,
saying:
"A girl has been born in Birger and her voice will be heard throughout the world."

These prayers and these promises were copied from a book printed in Toulouse (France)
in the year 1740. They were published by Father Adrien Parvilliers, of the Society of
Jesus. Father Adrien was a Jesuit, an apostolic missionary, in the Holy Land. This priest
obtained the approval, permission and recommendation that was required to spread
these prayers.
Parents, teachers and teachers who teach these prayers to children, for at least a year,
will be rewarded by God. This promise applies equally to those who provide them to
others. They are assured the privilege of being preserved during their lives from any
serious accident that could cause the loss of any of their five senses.
Pope Pius IX declared knowledge of these prayers with the act of presenting the
Prologue. In this way, the Supreme Pontiff admitted the authenticity of these prayers for
the good of souls; and signed the approval on May 31, 1862.
This declaration of Holy Father Pius IX was confirmed with tangible and concrete acts.
The promises have already been made for all the people who have prayed these prayers.
In addition, numerous supernatural events have occurred. By this means, God has
deigned to make known the rigorous veracity of these prayers and promises. A
collection of small books, including these prayers, was approved by the Great Congress
of Malines, on August 22, 1863.
Question -- To obtain the PRIVILEGES, is it necessary to pray the prayers every day,
and without interruption?
Answer -- It should not be missed. If it is missing for ever, PRIVILEGES will be lost.
One should start over again by saying the prayers daily for the entire year. Assuming
that during the entire year 5480 prayers are prayed. You must pray with devotion,
concentrating on the words that are spoken.
Those who visit the Church of Saint Paul in Rome can still contemplate the Miraculous
Crucifix, placed above the Tabernacle, located in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament.
This Miraculous Crucifix was sculpted by Pierre Cavallini. It is the same crucifix before
which Saint Brigid was kneeling when she received these 15 Prayers from Our Lord
himself. Furthermore, in that same Church of Saint Paul there is an inscription
commemorating this event, in Latin: "Pendentis, Pendente Dei verba accepit aure accipit
et verbum corde Bigitta Deum. Anno Jubilei MCCCL."
For a long time, Saint Brigid wanted to know how many lashes Our Lord had received
in His Passion. One day Jesus Christ appeared to him, saying: "I received in My Body
five thousand, four hundred and eighty lashes; that is 5,480 lashes. If you want to truly
honor them, with some veneration, say the Lord's Prayer 15 times; also 15 times the
Hail Mary, with the following prayers, for a full year. At the end of the year, you will
have venerated each of My Wounds." (Our Lord Himself dictated the prayers to the
saint.) "
Then, Our Lord made the following PROMISES, to the people who dedicated
themselves to praying these prayers, for a whole year. Here are the PROMISES:
The promises
1. I will free 15 souls of your relatives or lineage from Purgatory.
2. 15 souls of your kindred or lineage will be preserved and confirmed in grace.
3. 15 sinners from his lineage will be converted.
4. He who prays these prayers will reach the first degree of perfection.
5. 15 days before your death, I will give you the food of My Sacred Body so that you
escape eternal hunger; and I will give you to drink of My Most Precious Blood so that
you do not suffer from thirst eternally.
6. 15 days before his death, he will feel deep contrition for all his sins, and will have
perfect knowledge of all his faults.
7. I will place the sign of My victorious Cross before him, so that it may be his protection
and defense against the attacks of his enemies.
8. Before his death, I will come to him with My dearest and beloved Mother.
9. I will kindly receive his soul, and lead him to eternal delights.
10. And having led this soul to the eternal mansions, there I will give it to drink from the
Spring of My Divinity; which I will not do with those who have not recited My prayers.
11. Let it be known that whoever has lived in a state of mortal sin for even 30 years, if he
devoutly prays these prayers, or if he has proposed to pray them, the Lord will forgive
him all his sins.
12. I will defend you against serious temptations.
13. I will preserve and guard your 5 senses.
14. I will preserve him from sudden death.
15. His soul will be delivered from eternal death.
16. This soul will obtain everything it asks of God and the Blessed Virgin.
17. If you have lived doing your own will throughout your life and if you have to die the
next day, I will prolong your existence so that you can confess well.
18. Every time a soul prays these Prayers, it will gain 100 more days of indulgence.
19. He is assured that he will be placed next to the Supreme Choir of the Holy Angels.
20. Whoever teaches these Prayers to another person is assured of continued joy and
lasting merit for all eternity.
21. Wherever these Prayers are prayed, or if they are prayed at some future time, there
God will be present with His grace.
First sentence
Our Father - Hail Mary.

Oh Jesus Christ! You are the eternal sweetness of all those who love You; the joy that
surpasses all joy and desire; the salvation and hope of all sinners! You have stated that
you have no greater desire than to remain among men, on earth. You love them to the
point of assuming human nature, in the fullness of time, for love of them. Remember all
the sufferings that You have endured since the moment of Your Sacred Passion; just as
it was decreed and ordained from all eternity, according to the divine plan.
Remember, O Lord, that during the last supper with Your disciples You washed their
feet; and then, you gave them Your Most Sacred Body, and Your Most Precious Blood.
Then, comforting them with sweetness, You announced Your upcoming Passion.
Remember the sadness and bitterness that You have experienced in Your soul, as You
Yourself expressed it, saying: "My soul is sad until death." "
Remember all the fears, anguish and pain that You have endured, in Your Sacred Body,
before the torture of crucifixion. After having prayed three times, all bathed in bloody
sweat, you were betrayed by Your disciple, Judas; captured by the inhabitants of a
nation that you had chosen and exalted. You were accused by false witnesses and
unjustly tried by three judges; all of which happened in the flower of Your maturity, and
in the solemn Easter season.
Remember that you were stripped of Your own clothing, and clothed with a mantle of
ridicule. They covered your eyes and faces, inflicting slaps. Then, crowning You with
thorns, they placed a reed in Your hands. Finally, you were tied to the pillar, torn with
stripes, and burdened with reproaches and insults.
In memory of all these sorrows and pains that You have endured before Your Passion
on the Cross, grant me before dying, a true contrition, a sincere and complete
confession, adequate satisfaction; and the remission of all my sins. Amen.
Second Prayer

Oh Jesus! the true freedom of angels, and paradise of delights! Remember the horror
and sadness that you were oppressed, when Your enemies, like furious lions,
surrounded You with thousands of insults: spitting, slaps, lacerations, scratches and
other unprecedented tortures. They tormented you as they pleased. In consideration of
these torments and slanderous words, I beseech You, O my Savior, and Redeemer! May
you free me from all my visible and invisible enemies and may, under Your protection,
cause me to achieve the perfection of eternal salvation. Amen.
Third Prayer

Oh Jesus! Creator of Heaven and Earth, whom nothing can contain or limit! You
encompass everything; everything is sustained under Your loving power. Remember the
very bitter pain that You suffered when the Jews, with thick square nails, blow by blow,
nailed Your Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross. And not seeing You in a state
sufficiently pitiful to satisfy their fury, They enlarged Your Wounds, thy, adding pain
upon pain. With indescribable cruelty, they spread Your Body on the Cross. And with
violent pulls and stretches, in every direction, they dislocated Your Bones.
O Jesus, in memory of this holy pain that you have endured with so much love on the
Cross, I beg you to grant me the grace to fear and love you. Amen.
Fourth Prayer

O Jesus, Clestial Physician, elevated on the Cross to heal our wounds with Yours!
Remember that the bruises and fainting that You have suffered in all Your Members;
and that they were relaxed to such a degree that there has been no pain similar to Yours.
From the top of the head to the soles of the feet, no part of Your Body was exempt from
torment. However, forgetting all Your sufferings, You did not stop praying for Your
enemies, to Your Heavenly Father, saying to Him: "Father, forgive them, they do not
know what they do."
For this immense mercy, and in memory of these sufferings, I make this request to You:
grant that the memory of Your very bitter Passion may grant us perfect contrition, and
the remission of all our sins. Amen.
Fifth Prayer

O Jesus, Mirror of Eternal Radiance! Remember the acute sadness you have felt as you
contemplated with anticipation the souls that were to be damned. In the light of Your
Divinity, You have glimpsed the predistinction of those who would be saved, through
the merits of Your Sacred Passion. Simultaneously you have sadly contemplated the
immense multitude of reprobates who would be condemned for their sins; and You have
complained bitterly about those desperate, lost and unfortunate sinners.
For this abyss of compassion and pity, and mainly for the kindness that you showed
towards the good thief, telling him: "Today you will be with me in Paradise.", I make
this supplication, Sweet Jesus. I ask you to have mercy on me at the hour of my death.
Amen.
Sixth Prayer

O Jesus, King infinitely loved and desired! Remember the pain you suffered when,
naked and like an ordinary criminal, you were nailed and elevated to the Cross. Also,
You were abandoned by all Your relatives and friends with the exception of Your very
beloved Mother. In Your agony, She remained faithful with You; Then, you entrusted
her to Your faithful disciple, John, saying to Mary: "Woman, here is your son!" And to
Juan: "Here is your Mother!"
I beg you, O my Savior, by the sword of pain that then pierced the soul of Your Most
Holy Mother, that you have compassion on me. And in all my afflictions and
tribulations, both bodily and spiritual, have mercy on me. Assist me in all my trials, and
especially in the hour of my death. Amen.
Seventh Prayer

O Jesus, inexhaustible Source of compassion, have mercy on me! In a profound gesture
of love, you exclaimed on the Cross: "I thirst!" He was thirsty for the salvation of
mankind. O my Savior! I beg you to inflame our hearts with the desire to direct us
towards perfection, in all our works. Extinguish in us carnal lust and the ardor of
worldly appetites. Amen.
Eighth Prayer

O Jesus, Sweetness of hearts and Delight of spirit! For the vinegar and the bitter gall
that you have tasted on the Cross, for the love of us, hear our prayers. Grant us the grace
to worthily receive Your Most Sacred Body and Most Precious Blood during our life,
and also at the hour of death to serve as a remedy and consolation for our souls. Amen.
Ninth Prayer

O Jesus, Royal Virtue and Joy of soul! Remember the pain you have felt, immersed in
an ocean of bitterness, as death approached. Insulted and outraged by the Jews, you
cried out loudly that you had been abandoned by Your Heavenly Father, saying to him:
"My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
Because of this anguish, I beseech You, O my Savior, that You do not abandon me in
the terrors and pains of my death. Amen.
Tenth Prayer

O Jesus, Beginning and End of all things, You are Life and full Virtue! Remember that
because of us you were plunged into an abyss of sorrows, suffering pain from the soles
of your Feet to the top of your Head. In consideration of the enormity of Your Wounds,
teach me to keep, out of pure love for You, all Your Commandments; whose path of
Your Divine Law is wide and pleasant for those who love You. Amen.
Eleventh Prayer

Oh Jesus! Very deep abyss of Mercy! In memory of the Wounds that penetrated to the
marrow of Your Bones and Entrails, to attract me to You, I present this supplication. I,
miserable sinner, deeply immersed in my offenses, ask that you separate me from sin.
Hide me from Your Face so justly irritated against me. Hide me in the hollows of Your
Wounds until Your anger and righteous indignation have ceased. Amen.
Twelfth Prayer

O Jesus, Mirror of Truth, Seal of Unity, and Bond of Charity! Remember the multitude
of Wounds with which you were wounded, from your Head to your Feet. Those
Wounds were lacerated and reddened, O sweet Jesus, by the effusion of Your adorable
Blood. Oh, what great and full pain You have suffered for love of us, in Your virginal
Flesh! Sweet Jesus! What was there to do for us that you have not done? Nothing is
missing. You have accomplished everything! O kind and adorable Jesus! For the
faithful memory of Your Passion, may the meritorious Fruit of Your sufferings be
renewed in my soul. And may Your Love increase in my heart every day until I come to
contemplate You in eternity. O Most Loving Jesus! You are the Treasure of all true joy
and happiness, which I ask You to grant me in Heaven. Amen.
Thirteenth Prayer

O Jesus, strong Lion, immortal and incensible King! Remember the immense pain that
You have suffered when, having exhausted all Your strength, both moral and physical,
You bowed Your Head and said: "It is all finished."
Because of this anguish and pain, I beg you, Lord Jesus, to have mercy on me at the
hour of my death when my mind will be tremendously disturbed and my soul immersed
in anguish. Amen.
Fourteenth Prayer

O Jesus, only Son of the Heavenly Father, splendor and likeness of His Essence!
Remember the simple and humble recommendation that You made of Your Soul, to
Your Eternal Father, saying: "Father, into Your Hands I entrust My Spirit!" Having torn
Your Body, destroyed Your Heart, and opened the Entrails of Your mercy to redeem us,
You have expired. By Your Precious Death, I beseech You, O King of saints, comfort
me. Help me to resist the devil, the flesh and the world. So that, being dead to the world,
I may live only for You. And at the hour of my death, receive my pilgrim and banished
soul that returns to You. Amen.
Fifteenth Prayer

O Jesus, true and fruitful Vine! Remember the abundant outpouring of Blood that You
have so generously shed from Your Sacred Body. Your precious Blood was spilled like
the juice of the grape under the winepress.
From Your Side pierced by a soldier, with the spear, Blood and water have flowed, until
not a drop remains on Your Body. Finally, like a bundle of myrrh, raised to the top of
the Cross, Your very fine and delicate Flesh was destroyed; the Substance of Your Body
was withered; and dissected the marrow of Your Bones.
For this bitter Passion, and for the outpouring of Your precious Blood, I beg You, O
sweetest Jesus, to receive my soul, when and when I am suffering in the agony of my
death. Amen.
Conclusion
O Sweet Jesus! Wound my heart so that my tears of love and penance serve as bread for
me, day and night. Convert me entirely, O my Lord, to You. Make my heart Your
perpetual habitation. And may my conversation be pleasant. May the end of my life be
of such a praiseworthy nature to You that after my death I may deserve Your Paradise;
and praise You forever in Heaven with all Your saints. Amen.
Promises to Those Who Sing "Ave Maris Stella"
During an uprising in Rome, a crowd came to the house where Saint Brigid was
then staying. Immediately, the head of the faction spoke violently of burning the
saint alive. At that moment, Saint Brigid turned to Our Lord, asking him if she
should flee and take refuge in a safer place. Jesus Christ advised her, saying that
she should stay in that same place. Jesus told him like this: "It doesn't matter what
premeditated action they are preparing to conspire against your life. My power
will break the malice of your enemies. If My enemies crucified Me, it is because I
have allowed it." Then Our Blessed Mother added: "Gather together, and sing the
Hymn, 'AVE MARIS STELLA'; and I will keep you from all danger." (This title
means: "HAIL, STAR OF THE SEA")

possession. Amen. "500 days of indulgence"
Ancient Prayer to Saint Joseph, More Than 1900 Years

O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so powerful and effective before the throne
of God, into your hands I surrender all my interests and my desires. O Saint Joseph,
assist me with your powerful intercession. Obtain for me, from your Divine Son, Our
Lord, all the spiritual blessings I need. So that, having obtained, here on earth, the help
of your heavenly power, I can offer my gratitude and homage to the Most Loving
Father. O Saint Joseph, I will never tire of contemplating you with the sleeping Child
Jesus in your arms. I dare not approach while the Child rests on your heart. Hold him
tightly in my name; and on my behalf, kiss her fine and delicate little head. Then, beg
him to return that kiss to me at the time of my last breath. Saint Joseph, patron of the
dying, pray for us. Amen.
Pray it for nine consecutive mornings for what you want. Jamaz has rarely failed.
This prayer was discovered in the fiftieth year of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the 16th
century, or in the years 1500 AD, etc., the Pope sent this Prayer to the Emperor Charles.
The emperor received this prayer as he prepared to engage in battle.
Those who read this prayer will be rewarded. Likewise, rewards will be given to those
who listened to it when it was read or if they carried it on their person. All of these souls
are promised that they will not die suddenly; nor will they drown; nor will they be
affected by the poison. They will not fall into the hands of their enemies; nor will they
be consumed in any fire; not even defeated in battle.
Make efforts to make this prayer known, and spread it everywhere.

Glory to Jesus and Mary
The following is a letter written by the Blessed Virgin Mary, to greet the inhabitants of
the City of Messina. That is where the Apostle Saint Paul preached the Gospel. This
letter was preserved in the reliquary of the main altar, and reads as follows:
"I, Virgin Mary, Servant of God, Our Lord, and most humble Mother of Jesus Christ,
Son of Almighty and Eternal God, greet all those who live in Messina. I wish you all
health and blessing in Our Lord. You have already learned something from the
ambassadors who have been sent to you, and you have received the Gospel, recognizing
that the Son of God became Man, and that He suffered His Passion and death for the
salvation of the world. You have also learned that He is the Christ and the true Messiah.
Make efforts to persevere, I beg you. And in the meantime, I promise you and all your
posterity, My assistance in the presence of My Son."
"Mary, Virgin, most humble Servant of God"
(Great graces are granted to those who carry a copy of this letter.)

A recently dead Poor Clare nun appeared to her abbess or Mother Superior,

"To the souls who have greeted me with this prayer in life, I will appear with great
radiance at the hour of death. Furthermore, when the soul separates from the body, I will
manifest myself with such splendid beauty that the soul will feel great comfort. In that
moment, you will experience something similar to the delights of Paradise."

THREE BEAUTIFUL PRAYERS
These prayers are very useful for the dying. They should be repeated frequently as an
act of supplication to God's mercy.
Many centuries ago, there lived a pope in Rome who had committed many mistakes,
and he felt overwhelmed by his guilt. On one occasion, it happened that God Our Lord
allowed this pope to fall seriously ill without remedy. When the patient felt that the
terrible hour of death was approaching, he sent for all the cardinals, bishops, and other
well-instructed people. Then the dying pope spoke to them like this: "My dear friends!
What comfort can you give me now that I am going to die; and it seems that I deserve
eternal damnation for my many sins?" For a few moments, no one dared to answer this
question. Then one of those present, named John, replied to him, saying: "Father, why
do you doubt the mercy of God?" And the dying man answered him, saying: "What
comfort can you give me at this hour when I am about to die, and I fear being
condemned for my sins?" And Juan answered him like this: "I am going to read THREE
PRAYERS for your benefit; I hope to God that this reading gives you a little comfort. I
also hope that by this means, your soul will obtain the mercy of God." The dying pope
could no longer speak. Then, Priest Juan knelt with everyone present and prayed the
OUR FATHER, adding the following prayers:
1st Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Being the Son of God and also the Son of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
you are God and Man. Overwhelmed with great fear you have sweated Blood in the
Garden of Olives, to give us peace. We also know that you offered all Your sufferings
to God, Your Heavenly Father, for us, and for the salvation of this poor dying man...
However, if because of his sins he deserves to be punished with eternal damnation, we
beg You to forgive all his sins. O Eternal Father, we ask this through Jesus Christ Our
Lord, Your very beloved Son, who lives and reigns with You and with the Holy Spirit
now and always. Amen.
2nd Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! Humbly dying on the Cross for us, you submitted Your Will
completely to the Will of Your Heavenly Father, to bring us peace. You have also
offered Your holy death to the Eternal Father as a ransom for...(this person) ...and to
hide from his sight the punishment deserved for his sins. O Eternal Father! Listen to us
and forgive him, we beg you. We ask this through Your only Son, Our Lord Jesus
Christ, who lives and reigns now and always with You, in unity of the Holy Spirit
forever and ever. Amen.
3rd Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ! After having remained silent, you spoke through the mouths of the
prophets, saying: "I have drawn you to Me, through Eternal Love." This same Love has
brought you from Heaven to the Virginal Bosom of the Most Holy Mary. Afterwards,
you have come to this valley of tears, to the destitute world. This same Love, my Jesus,
detained You in this terrestrial world for 33 years. Furthermore, to signify this
tremendous Love, you have given Your Most Sacred Body as a true delicacy, and Your
Most Precious Blood as a true drink. Even, as if all this were not enough, my good
Jesus, You gave us other signs of Your great Love. That is to say, you have allowed
yourselves to be seized and taken prisoner. During Your sacred Passion You were
dragged from court to court, and from one judge to another. Furthermore, You have
submitted Yourselves to be condemned to death, to die on the Cross, and to be buried.
You have done all this to demonstrate Your deep Love to us. Having risen on the third
day, you appeared to Your Most Holy Mother, and to all the holy apostles. Then,
manifesting Your immense Love, O sweet Savior, you have ascended to Heaven by
virtue of Your Heavenly Father, the Eternal God. Next, O Jesus, by demonstrating Your
infinite Love, You have sent the Holy Spirit to enkindle the hearts of the apostles; and
of all those who believe and hope in You. Through these signs of eternal Love, we
confidently hope to obtain all kinds of grace from Your goodness. O good Jesus, open
Heaven today to this poor dying man... Forgive all his sins and take him to the Kingdom
of Your Heavenly Father to enjoy happily with You, now and always. Amen.
Meanwhile, the dying pope died. But the priest persevered praying these prayers until
the third hour. Suddenly, the soul of the deceased pope appeared in bodily form, before
the eyes of the priest who was still praying. The face of the apparition shone like the
sun, and its clothing was as clean and white as snow. Then, looking at the priest, the
apparition uttered the following consoling words: "My dear brother! Although I should
have been a lost son and destined for damnation, now I am a happy son, filled with joy
and happiness. While you were praying the first prayer, many of my sins were erased
from my soul. They fell like raindrops falling from Heaven. Likewise, while you were
praying the second prayer, I was purified just as the silversmith purifies gold in a
burning fire. The purification of my soul continued while you prayed the third prayer.
Then I saw how Heaven opened, and I could see Jesus Christ, Our Lord, at the right
hand of God the Father. At that moment, Our Good Jesus spoke to me, saying: Come!
All your sins are already forgiven. Enter and remain in the Kingdom of My Heavenly
Father forever. Amen!'
"With these words, my soul was separated from my body, and the angels of God led me
to eternal happiness."
Hearing these words, the priest exclaimed: "O Holy Father! "I won't be able to tell these
things, because no one will believe me!" Immediately, the deceased answered him in
this way: "Truly I tell you that the Angel of God remains at my side and has written
these prayers in GOLDEN LETTERS, for the consolation of sinners. If it were possible
for a person to commit all the sins in the world, there would be hope for his soul under
the following condition. That is, if these three prayers are prayed at his side at the hour
of death, and if the sinner feels true pain for his sins, all his sins will be forgiven. And if
he were destined to suffer for his faults until the day of the last judgment dawns, he
would be completely redeemed and freed from all those penalties. (The Sacraments
should not be omitted.)
"The person who hears the reading of these three prayers will not die unhappily. The
person in whose house these three prayers are prayed will also be awarded. Therefore,
take them to St. Peter's Basilica and place them in the chapel named, THE
AUSUNTION OF THE HOLY MARY. With this act consolation is ensured. If
someone is close to death, and if he hears or reads these three prayers, he will receive
the same wonderful grace as well. If the sick person can no longer read the prayers, let
him listen to them. In this way you will gain 400 days of indulgence. This indulgence or
remission will compensate for the days of suffering in Purgatory, due to guilt.
Furthermore, it must be known that another very unique grace will be added for those
who read or hear the three prayers. The time of their death will be revealed to these
souls in advance. Amen!"
ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God, I am sorry with all my heart for having offended you; that for my sins I have
deserved the eternal punishments of hell. Above all, because I have offended You, my God,
You are extremely good, and You deserve all my love. I firmly propose with the help of Your
grace, to confess my sins, do penance, avoid the next occasion of sin, and amend my life.
Amen.
Suggestions on Prayer
Your prayer is extremely powerful and effective during the Consecration of the Holy
Mass. (That is, when the priest raises the Holy Host and the Chalice.)
Also, every time we look up to contemplate the Blessed Sacrament, our place in Heaven
is elevated a little higher forever. (Revelation of Our Lord to Saint Gertrudes the
Greater).
Prayer to Obtain the Grace of All Masses in the World
Eternal Father, we humbly offer you our poor presence, and that of all Humanity, from
the beginning to the end of the world. We wish to attend ALL the Masses that have
already been celebrated in the world, and all those that will be celebrated in the future.
We offer you all the sorrows, sufferings, prayers, joys and hours of rest in our lives. We
offer everything in union with these same actions of Our sweet Jesus, during his stay
here on earth. We hope that all the most precious Blood of Christ, all His Wounds, and
all His agony will save us. We offer you this request through the Sorrowful and
Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen.
(Pray this prayer every day, and spread it everywhere.)
Dear Saint Philomena, pray for us. Obtain for us great purity of mind and heart. This
purity will lead us to the perfect Love of God.
We must constantly seek God; and the more one looks for it, the more one finds it. He
who seeks God always finds him. (Maimonides)

Saint Bonaventure has said: "He who despises the Blessed Virgin will die in his
sins and will be condemned."
THE HOLY COMMUNION
Every time we receive Holy Communion, we are forgiven for venial sins.
To Saint Gertrude the Elder, Jesus Christ has revealed: "Every time a soul receives Holy
Communion, something beautiful happens to every soul in Heaven, on Earth, and in
Purgatory."
The Curé of Ars said: "A single well-received Communion is worth more than the sum
of 20,000 NFF distributed to the poor.
Each time we receive Holy Communion, our place in Heaven is forever elevated, and
our stay in Purgatory is shortened.
WE SHOULD NOT LET ANY DAY GO BY WITHOUT RECEIVING HOLY

COMMUNION!
Spiritual Communion
The value of a well-done spiritual communion is enormous. We can and should make
spiritual communion frequently. This act is very simple. It is done simply by thinking of
Jesus, of His great Love for us, and of our Love towards Him. Then, ask the Blessed
Virgin to implore her Divine Son to come into our hearts. These spiritual communions
may be offered in the interests of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our
special intention is also added!
Our Lord has told us that after receiving Holy Communion, we must repeat the
following ejaculation: "Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, may the whole world love You with
ardent Love!" (NS Revelation to Gabrielle Bossis in France).
A True Letter From Jesus Christ, Our Savior
This is a copy of the letter containing the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It was
discovered in the Holy Sepulcher of the Divine Savior in Jerusalem. The letter was
preserved by the Supreme Pontiff in a small silver box. Later, the emperors and
empresses of the Christian faith also preserved it.
Saint Elizabeth, Queen of Hungary, with Saint Matilda and Saint Brigid, had the same
great desire to know something concerning the Passion of Jesus Christ. To this end, they
prayed fervently, offering special prayers. After a certain time, Our Lord Jesus Christ
appeared to them, speaking to them in the following way:
"I have come down from Heaven to Earth to convert you."
"In ancient times, people were more religious and their harvest was also more abundant.
On the contrary, currently, the harvest is more limited.
"If you want to enjoy an abundant harvest, you should not work on Sundays. On
Sundays you must go to Church and beg God to forgive your sins. He has given you six
days to work and one day to rest; apply yourself to devotion; help the poor and attend to
the functions of the Church.
"Those people who mock My religion and despise this letter of Mine will be abandoned
by Me.
"On the contrary, those who carry a copy of this letter on their person will not drown;
nor will they die suddenly. They will be free from all contagious diseases and will not
be harmed by lightning and will not die without the Sacrament of Penance or
Confession. They will be delivered from their enemies, and from unjust authority. They
will also be free from all those who are their slanderers and from false witnesses."
"Women who are in danger during childbirth will immediately overcome every
difficulty if they carry on their person a faithful copy of this prayer. Furthermore, forty
days before dying, the Blessed Virgin will appear to the person who carries this prayer."
This is what Saint Gregory tells us.
Jesus Christ promises: "All the faithful who recite two Our Fathers, two Hail Marys,
and twice Glory to the Father, etc. every day for three consecutive years, in honor of the
Drops of Blood that I have shed, will reach the next five (5) thank you:
1st Plenary indulgence and remission of your sins.

2nd They will be freed from the penalties of Purgatory.
3rd If they die before completing three (3) years, it will be the same as if
they had been completed.
4th At the hour of death, it will be for you the same as if you had shed all
your blood for the holy faith."
5th Coming down from Heaven, I will come to take your souls with me. I
will also carry the souls of your relatives, up to the fourth generation
with me.
"It is worth knowing that the armed soldiers who accompanied me to Calvary were one
hundred and fifty (150). Those who followed me when I was tied were 23. The
executors of justice were 83. There were one hundred and fifty (150) blows to the head;
blows to the stomach, one hundred and eight, (108); kicks to the shoulders, eighty (80).
Twenty-four (24) times they dragged me and tied my hair with ropes. They spat in my
face one hundred and eighty (180) times; and They hit my Body (110). At twelve at
night I was rudely pushed. Immediately they picked me up by my hair and pricked me
with thorns. They pulled my hair twenty-three (23) times. I received twenty (20) injuries
to the Head; Then, They pricked Me seventy-two (72) times with thorn bushes. I
received one hundred and ten (110) thorn stings on my head; and three fatal wounds to
the forehead. Afterwards, They whipped Me, and I was dressed as 'King of Mock'. I
received one thousand (1,000) Sores on My Body. The soldiers who followed me to
Calvary were six hundred and eight (608); and those who watched me until the end
were three (3). Those who mocked Me were one thousand and eight (1,008) people. The
drops of Blood shed during My Passion were in total twenty-eight thousand, four
hundred and thirty (28,430)."

PRAYER TO THE HOLY CHILD OF PRAGUE
O merciful Child Jesus! I know Your miraculous works in favor of the sick... Therefore,
in view of the innumerable graces and cures that You have... granted to those who
venerate Your holy Childhood, I turn to You. Particularly I make this supplication
through the devotion represented by the statue of the Holy Child of Prague...Behold, I
come supplicant and with full confidence I exclaim: O Loving Child Jesus, it is Your
Will, You can heal me! Raise Your holy Little Hand, and with Your great power, free
me from all pain and all illness.
HISTORY OF THE DEVOTION TO THE HOLY CHILD OF PRAGUE
Devotion to the Child Jesus is as old as Christianity itself. This devotion always tends to
keep vividly in us the memory of the great mystery of the birth of Our Lord Jesus
Christ.
The special devotion to the Divine Child had its origin in a monastery of Carmelite
religious, in the city of Prague, in Bohemia. This case happened at the beginning of the
17th century. On the occasion of her marriage, Princess Polyxenia of Lobkowitz
received from her mother a statue of the Divine Child. The land of Spain had been the
origin of the statue. After the death of her husband, the princess dedicated herself to
charity work. In particular, the religious of the Carmelite Order in Prague received
generous assistance from this princess. In 1628, when war broke out in Prague, the
monastery of the monks was reduced to the extreme of poverty. In those days, Princess
Polyxenia appeared at the door of the monastery with her statue, saying:
"HERE I BRING YOU THE OBJECT OF MY GREATEST APPRECIATION IN
THIS WORLD. HONOR AND RESPECT THE CHILD JESUS AND YOU WILL
NEVER LACK WHAT IS NECESSARY." "
This offer from the princess was placed in the convent oratory, and the princess's words
proved prophetic. Because, while the religious maintained their devotion to the Divine
Infant of Prague, they enjoyed prosperity. Later, in the confusion of the war, they had to
flee the city and were unable to take this miraculous statue with them. Meanwhile, the
invaders arrived at the monastery, and threw the miraculous statue into a pile of rubble.
In the year 1635, everything calmed down, and there was calm again. The Carmelites
also returned to their convent in the city of Prague. One of the monks named Father
Cyril had received great spiritual help through his devotion to the Holy Child of Prague.
Now that they had returned, Father Cyril very diligently began to search for the
miraculous statue. At the end of a certain time, the father found her among the rubble
where the invaders had thrown her. Ecstatic with joy, Father Cyril placed the Holy
Child back in his own place, in the oratory. One day, while the father was praying
devoutly before the miraculous statue, he heard a voice saying to him: "HAVE MERCY
ON ME AND I WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU. RETURN MY HANDS TO ME,
AND I WILL GIVE YOU PEACE, THE MORE YOU HONOR ME, THE MORE
YOU BLESS." "
Astonished to hear these words, Father Cyril examined the statue carefully. Removing
the mantle that covered the Divine Child, the father discovered that both Little Hands
were broken. Shortly thereafter, the statue's Little Hands were restored by a devotee of
the Santo Niño. From that moment on, everyone happily enjoyed peace and prosperity.
Devotion to the Divine Child has always been practiced by the religious of the
Carmelite Order. Because, through the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Mother, the Divine
Child Jesus came into the world. Saint Teresa of Jesus practiced a very particular
devotion to the Divine Child. The Little Teresita, called the "Little Flower of Jesus", did
the same. Therese venerated the Child Jesus with great fervor.
My offer of the day
OH! Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, work, joys
and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice in the Mass that is celebrated
in the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of
souls, the reparation of sins, the union of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of
our bishops, and of the apostolate of prayer and particularly for those recommended for
this month by the Holy Father.

WHY The Daily Rosary?
Our Lady has 117 titles. She herself chose this one in Fatima when she said: "I
am the Lady of the Rosary."
Saint Francis del Sales has said that the best method of praying is- PRAYING
THE ROSARY.
Saint Thomas Aquinas preached in Rome, Italy, for 40 consecutive days on a

single topic: The Ave Maria.
Saint John Vianney, patron saint of priests, was almost never seen without the
Rosary in his hand.
"The Rosary is the whip of the devil." - Pope Adrian VI.
"The Rosary is a treasure of graces." - Pope Paul V.
Padre Pio, a stigmatized priest, said: "The Rosary is a PRECISE WEAPON."
Pope Leo XIII wrote 9 encyclicals on the Holy Rosary.
Pope John XXIII gave 38 discourses on the Blessed Virgin and the Holy Rosary.
This same pontiff prayed the 15 mysteries of the Rosary daily.
Saint Luís Maria Grignon de Montfort has written:
"The Rosary is a very powerful weapon to move the Heart of Jesus, Our
Redeemer, who loves His Most Holy Mother so much."
If you wish to obtain a favor:
Pray THE "NOVENA OF THE 54 DAY ROSARY."
We proceed in this way: Pray 3 novenas of the Rosary, consecutively; They are
three times nine days: - 27 days of request.
Next, add 3 more Rosary novenas, equal: - 27 days of thanksgiving.
Are you willing to offer God 1% of 1440 minutes each day?
If you are, pray the Rosary daily for 15 minutes: -1% of 24 hours.
Later, offer him 3%, and pray the complete Rosary of 20 decades; that is, twenty
mysteries, namely: the joyful, luminous, painful, and glorious mysteries.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND MASS EVERY DAY?
"The Mass is the most perfect way to pray!"

(Pope Paul VI)
For every Mass that is attended with devotion, Our Lord will send a saint to console us at the hour of
death. (Revelation of Jesus Christ to Saint Gertrude the Greater).
Padre Pio, a stigmatized priest, has said: "The existence of the world would be easier without the sun than
without the Holy Mass."
The Curé d'Ars Saint John Vianney stated: "If we knew the value of the Holy Mass, we would die of joy."
A famous doctor of the Church named Saint Anselm has declared: "A single Mass offered and heard in
life with devotion, for one's own good, can be worth more than a thousand Masses celebrated for the same
intention, after death." Saint Leonard of Port Mauritius supports this statement, saying that "one Mass
before death may be more beneficial than many after it."
The celebration of the Holy Mass would be more beneficial for the faithful if they attempted it while they
were alive. It would be much better than waiting until later, and then asking that it be offered for the
eternal rest of the soul after death. (Pope Benedict XV)
On one occasion, Saint Teresa felt inundated with the goodness of God. Then he asked Our Lord this
question: "My Lord, how can I thank You?" Our Lord answered: "ATTEND A MASS."
On one occasion, the Blessed Virgin Mary spoke to her faithful servant, Alain, saying: "My Son so loves
those who attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that if necessary, he would die again for them, as many
times as there are many Masses." have heard."

The 4 Keys to Heaven Are:
THE MASS
THE ROSARY
THE SCAPULAR
THE VIA CRUCIS
BROTHER STANISLAUS (1903 - 1927)
At the age of 18, a young Spaniard entered the novitiate of the "BROTHERS OF
THE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS" in Bugedo. In religious life, this young man
took the vows of religion which are: compliance with the regulations; advance in
Christian perfection; and achieve pure love. In the month of October 1926, this
brother offered himself to Jesus through the Most Holy Mary. Shortly after
making this heroic gift of himself, the young religious fell ill and was forced to
rest. He died holy in the month of March, 1927. According to the novice master,
this religious was a chosen soul of God; and that he received messages from
Heaven. The young man's confessors, as well as the theologians, recognized
these supernatural events as notable acts. The young man's name was Brother
Stanislaus. Brother Stanislaus's spiritual director had ordered him to write down
all the promises transmitted by OUR LORD. This would be for the spiritual
good of those who were devoted to the VIA CRUCIS. The promises are as
follows:
1. I will grant everything that is asked of Me with faith, during the Via
Crucis.
2. I promise eternal life to those who, from time to time, apply themselves
to praying the Via Crucis.
3. During life, I will accompany you everywhere and you will have My
special help at the hour of death.
4. Even if they had more sins than the leaves of the grass that grows in the
fields, and more than the grains of sand in the sea, they will all be erased
through this devotion to the Via Crucies. (note: This devotion does not
eliminate the obligation to confess mortal sins. You must confess before
receiving Holy Communion.)
5. Those who usually pray the Way of the Cross frequently will enjoy
extraordinary glory in Heaven.
6. After death, if these devotees reach Purgatory, I will free them from that
place of atonement, the first Tuesday or Friday after dying.
7. I will bless these souls every time they pray the Via Crucies; and my
blessing will accompany you in all parts of the earth. After death, they
will enjoy this blessing in Heaven, for all eternity.
8. At the hour of death, I will not allow them to be subject to the temptation
of the devil. I will strip the evil spirit of all power over these souls. Thus
you will be able to rest peacefully in My Arms.
9. If you pray it with true love, you will be highly rewarded. That is, I will
turn each of these souls into a living Ciborium, where I will be pleased to
pour out My Grace.
10. I will fix the gaze of My Eyes on those souls who pray the Way of the
Cross frequently and My Hands will always be open to protect them.
11. Just as I was nailed to the Cross, I will always be very united to those
who honor Me, with the frequent prayer of the Via Crucis.
12. The devotees of the Via Crucis will never be separated from Me because
I will give them the grace of never committing a mortal sin.
13. At the hour of death, I will comfort you with My presence, and we will
go to Heaven together. Death will be sweet for all those who have
honored Me during their lives with the prayer of the Via Crucis.
14. For these devotees of the Via Crucis, My Soul will be a shield of
protection that will always help them when they turn to Me.
Saint Alphonsus Liguori wrote: "If you pray you are positive to save your soul.
If you don't pray you are just as likely to lose your soul."
Prayer to the Wound on the Shoulder of Jesus Christ
In the annals of the Clairvaux Monastery, it has been narrated that on one occasion,
Saint Bernard asked Our Lord a question. The saint wanted to know what Jesus' greatest
torment had been during the Passion and which still remained unknown. Our Lord
answered him like this: "While I was carrying My Cross along the Via Dolorosa, I
sustained a very pitiful Wound on my Shoulder. This was the most painful of all the
others. "This Wound is not recorded in historical documents for the knowledge of
humanity. Come, then, honor this Wound with devotion. I must grant everything that is
asked of Me by virtue and merit of this devotion. To those who venerate this wound on
My Shoulder, I will forgive all their venial sins. Furthermore, I will no longer remember
their mortal sins."
(this prayer does not replace confession)
THE PRAYER
O Most Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God! I, miserable sinner, salute and adore
the Sacred Wound on Your Shoulder, where you have carried the heavy Cross.
In this Sacred Wound, Your Flesh was so torn that even the Bone itself was
exposed to view; and this, in turn, has caused you very deep anguish. This
affliction was more acute than all the other Wounds in Your most blessed Body.
O my most afflicted Jesus! I adore you; I praise you; I glorify You and thank
You for this sacred and very painful Wound. Through that very acute pain, and
through the crushing weight of the powerful Cross, I beg you to have mercy on
me who am a poor sinner. Forgive all my sins, mortal and venial. Guide me on
the path to Heaven along the narrow path of Your sacred Cross. Amen.
Imprimatur: Thomas D. Beven, Bishop of Springfield, MA.
Pope Eugenius III, in serious request of the Sto. Bernard, has granted three
thousand years of indulgence to all who, with a contrite heart, pray the Lord's
Prayer and Hail Mary 3 times, in honor of the Holy Wound on the Shoulder of
our Blessed Redeemer.
"Jesus, Mary, I love you. Save souls.""
INVOCATIONS IN HONOR OF THE HOLY WOUNDS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of
our souls. My Jesus, forgiveness and mercy for the merits of Your Holy Wounds.
Sister María Marta Chambon was a humble nun of the Order of the Visitation in
Chambery, France. She died in a state of sanctity on March 21, 1907. According to the
statements of the same nun, she received from Our Lord the mandate to fulfill a
particular MISSION. It consisted of invoking and worshiping the Holy Wounds without
ceasing. This is how this devotion must rekindle the hearts of the creatures.
Our Lord told him:
"The soul that during its life has honored and studied the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus
Christ and that has offered them to the Eternal Father for the souls in Purgatory, will
receive its reward. That is, at the hour of death, that devotee will be accompanied by the
Blessed Virgin and the angels. Then, Our Lord will appear to you glorious and
resplendent on the Cross. And in this heavenly splendor, you will be received and
crowned by Jesus Christ Our Lord himself."
"Jesus, Mary, I love you. Save souls."
PRAY FOR THE SOULS OF PURGATORY
The greatest number of souls are freed during the S. Consecration at the Mass, than
during any other time. However, many souls fly to Heaven at Christmas. This liberation
continues later, in the festivals of Our Lord, in those of Our Lady, and in the festivals of
the great saints. Through the prayers offered in their favor, the souls in Purgatory
receive distinguished graces on certain other occasions, for example, on their birthday,
on the day of their baptism, and on the anniversary of their death.
Here on earth, if we dedicate ourselves to offering suffrages for the poor souls in
Purgatory, we will receive the same favor later when it is our turn. Then, the faithful
will remember to pray for us too. On the other hand, Our Lord will be compassionate to
us when we are suffering in Purgatory.
The Blessed Virgin asks us to pray for the Poor Souls. For this purpose, She
recommends the following prayers:
5 times the Creed. . .;
1 once I saved her. . .;
1 time the Lord's Prayer. . .;
1 time the Hail Mary. . .;
1 once Glory to the Father. . .;
1 time "Requiem" (Give them eternal rest, Lord, and may perpetual
light shine upon them. Rest in peace. Amen.)
PRAYER OF SAINT GERTRUDES THE MAJOR
Prayer to save 1000 souls from Purgatory every time it is prayed.
Our Lord told the great Saint Gertrude that the following prayer would save 1000 souls
from Purgatory each time it was prayed.
Recommendation: Pray the next prayer at least twice, to remove at least twice the
number of souls from Purgatory. After the prayer, ask the souls freed from Purgatory by
your prayers to pray for your intentions.
"Oh Eternal Father, I offer you the most precious blood of your Divine Son, Jesus,
united with the Masses celebrated today around the world, for all the holy souls in
Purgatory.-Amen"
Our Lady assures us that if we pray these prayers, "we will be able to free many, many
souls!"
"For the souls of the Puratório, the Holy Wounds constitute a true treasure trove of
Treasures."
THE HOLY BIBLE - 2 Maccabees, Chapter 12. Verse 46:

"It is therefore a holy and salutary thought to pray for the dead so that they may be
freed from the penalties of their sins."
An indulgence, applicable ONLY to souls in purgatory, is granted when one devoutly

visits a cemetery and prays for the deceased.
SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
The following formula to make spiritual communion is approved by the Church. In the
Rescript of November 24, 1922, the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences approved this
prayer, which reads as follows:
"O Jesus, I turn to You in the Tabernacle where You live hidden for my love. I love
You, O my God, but now I cannot receive You sacramentally in Holy Communion.
However, come into my heart, and visit me with Your grace. Come spiritually into my
heart and purify me. Sanctify me and make my heart like Yours. Amen."
Lord, I am not worthy that you come to my dwelling, but say a single word, and my
soul will be healed.
Indulgence of 500 days, if repeated three times.
(129 in La Raccolta, 1944).
The Curé of Ars has said: "The effect of a spiritual communion on the soul is similar to
a breath on the hot and covered embers, which were just going out. Feeling that the love
of God is cooling in the soul, a spiritual communion must be made hastily."
MESSAGE OF GLOBAL IMPORTANCE
Devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary
Our Lord has entrusted the following message to a humble Franciscan tertiary named
Berthe Petit. Berthe was born on January 23, 1870, in the town of Enghien, Belgium. To
this humble Franciscan tertiary, Our Lord said:
"Teach souls love for the Heart of My Mother. Her Immaculate Heart was pierced with
the same anguish that tore My Heart." (December 25, 1909)
During the Holy Hour (March 25, 1912) the Blessed Virgin spoke to Berthe, saying: "I
have said that my name is the Immaculate Conception. But, for you I will call myself:
The Mother of the Sorrowful Heart. This invocation pleases me more than all the others,
because it has been granted to me by the will of my Son. As this devotion spreads
everywhere, famous graces will be showered on humanity. They will be graces of
mercy, spiritual renewal, and salvation."
PRAYER
( Composed by Berthe Petit)
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pure and holy room! Cover my soul with
your maternal protection. By this means I will remain faithful to the voice of Jesus, and
my soul will be able to correspond to His Love, and obey His Divine Will.
O my Mother, my desire is to keep before my sight without ceasing your participation

as Co-Redeemer. With this memory, I will live intimately united to your Immaculate
Heart, which always remains totally united to the Sacred Heart of Your Divine Son.
By the merits of your virtues and anguish, nail me to this Divine Heart.
Protect me now and always.

we may be brought to the glory of the Resurrection. Through Christ himself, Our Lord.
Amen.
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL

Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the perversity and
snares of the devil. "Restrain him, God," we pray; and you, prince of the heavenly host, cast
into hell, with divine power, satan and the other evil spirits that are scattered throughout the
world for the perdition of souls. Amen.

(This powerful exorcism prayer was composed by SS Leo XIII. In a vision, he was
presented with the terrifying battle that will take place between Satan and Saint Michael
regarding the Church of the future. Now, more than ever, the Church needs the
intercession of Saint Michael! Let this prayer be said daily, please.)
Act of Contrition
Sincere
CROWN OF SAINT MICHAEL
One day Saint Michael the Archangel appeared to the devout servant of God, Antonia
d'Astonaco. The archangel told the nun that he wished to be honored by reciting nine
salutations. These nine prayers correspond to the nine choirs of angels. The crown
consists of an Our Father and three times the Hail Mary, in honor of each angelic choir.
Promises of Saint Michael
To those who practice this devotion in his honor, the archangel promises great
blessings. He promises to send an angel from each angelic choir to accompany the
devotees at the time of Holy Communion. Furthermore, to those who will recite these
nine salutations every day, he assures that they will enjoy his continued assistance; that
is, during this life and also after death. Even more, they will be accompanied by all the
angels; and with all their loved ones, relatives and family they will be freed from
Purgatory.

clement, O pious, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

THE NOVENA OF
TWENTY-FOUR "GLORIES"
To Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and. Of the Holy Face,
Asking for Necessary Favors.
ORIGIN OF THE NINTH
Father Putigan, a Jesuit priest, began the novena to Saint Therese of the Child Jesus on
December 3, 1925. The father implored a great favor from the glorious saint. For nine
days, the father repeated the prayer "Glory to the Father, etc." twenty-four times every
day. The father offered prayers in thanksgiving to the Holy Trinity, for all the favors
received by the saint: that is, for all the distinguished graces poured out on Saint
Therese, during the twenty-four years of her life on earth. Father Putigan asked the saint
to give him a sign, affirming that his novena would be heard. The patient implored that
the signal was to receive from someone a fresh rose, recently plucked from the garden.
Fortunately, on the third day of the Novena, an unknown person was looking for Father
Putigan to present him with a beautiful rose.
Meanwhile, Father Putigan began the second novena on December 24 of the same year.
This time, the father asked for a white rose as a sign. On the fourth day of this second
novena, a religious nurse presented herself to Father Putigan with a white rose, saying:
"Saint Therese sends you this."
Astonished, the priest asked him:
"Where did you pick this up?"
"I was in the chapel," answered the nun, "and on leaving, I passed in front of the altar
where the beautiful painting of Saint Therese is placed. At that moment, the rose fell at
my feet. I wanted to put it back in its place, in the bouquet, but it occurred to me that it
would be better to bring it to you."
Father Putigan received the favors he had requested from the Little Forewoman of
Jesus. He then made a promise to propagate this novena, to increase devotion to Saint
Therese, and to honor her more and more. Of course, those who wish to participate in
this novena of twenty-four "Glories" must begin it from the ninth to the seventeenth of
the same month. To their own intentions they must add those of all those who were
doing the novena at the same time. In this way a powerful common supplication will be
formed.
THE NINTH
The novena consisting of twenty-four "Glories" can be done at any time. However, the
date from the ninth to the seventeenth of the month is particularly recommended; since
on these days, the supplicant will join all the others who will be making the same
novena.
After each "Glory to the Father, etc.", it is repeated: "Saint Therese of the Child Jesus,
pray for us."
SANTA THERESITA, THE LITTLE FLOWER,

TELL GOD THAT I IMPLORE A FAVOR.
ASK FOR IT, SANTITA, WITH ZEALOUSNESS AND

I WILL LOVE HIM EVERY DAY WITH BURNING
FERVOR.
(This prayer is prayed adding 5 Our Fathers, 5 Hail Marys, and 5 Glories, for 5 days in a
row, before 11:00 AM. On the fifth day, having finished all the indicated prayers, one
more is added. That is, five more are added to each prayer: 5 Our Fathers, 5 Hail Marys,
and 5 Glories.) EXPERIENCE YOURSELF.-

THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS
From the Holy Shroud of Turin
PRAYER
(Composed by St. Therese of Lisieux)
O Jesus, in Your bitter Passion You have been the "Reproach of Men and the Man of
Sorrow." I venerate Your Holy Face in which the beauty and meekness of Your Divinity
has shone. In those disfigured features, I recognize Your infinite Love, and I long to
love You and make You love...
Grant me the joy of contemplating Your glorious Face in Heaven!
(St. Therese's name in religion was Sister Teresa of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face.)

THE GOLDEN ARROW
May the Most Holy, Most Sacred, Adorable, Incomprehensible and Ineffable Name of
God be forever praised and blessed. May he be loved, adored and glorified in Heaven,
on Earth, and under the Earth by all God's creatures, 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 to make amends for
blasphemies. It happened in the city of Tours in 1843.
Our Lord told him: "This golden arrow will pierce My Heart with delight, and the
wounds caused by blasphemies will heal."
Imprimatur

THE CROWN OF DIVINE MERCY
Our Lord told the nun, Sister Faustina, (1905 - 1938): "You will recite this CROWN on the ROSARY
beads in the following manner:
"First, you will say an OUR FATHER, a HAIL MARY, and a CREED. Then, on the beads where the
OUR FATHER is prayed, say these words:
"Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, the Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son Jesus
Christ, Our Lord and Savior, in reparation for our sins, and for the sins of the whole world.'
In the ACCOUNTS of the HAIL MARY, say the following words: 'For His PAINFUL PASSION, have
mercy on us and on the whole world.'
"At the end, repeat the following words THREE TIMES: 'Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal!
Have mercy on us and on everyone.'"
AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON: IT IS THE TIME OF GREAT MERCY
AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON, implore My mercy especially for sinners. And even for a brief
moment, meditate deeply on My PASSION: particularly on My ABANDONMENT during the moments
of My AGONY. This is the HOUR of GREAT MERCY for the WHOLE WORLD...In this HOUR, I will
not deny to any soul anything that is asked of Me through My PASSION.

CONSECRATION TO JESUS CHRIST, WISDOM

INCARNATE, THROUGH THE HOLY
VIRGIN MARY
By Saint Louis De Montfort
O Eternal Wisdom of the Incarnate Word! O Most Sweet and Adorable Jesus! You are
True God and True Man, only begotten Son of the Eternal Father, and of the Blessed
ever Virgin Mary! I adore you deeply in the resplendent Bosom of Your Heavenly
Father, for all eternity. I also adore Your Incarnation in the Virginal Bosom of Your
most worthy Mother, Most Holy Mary.
I thank you for having annihilated yourself, taking the form of a slave, to rescue me
from the cruel slavery of the devil. I praise and glorify You for having fully submitted
Yourself to Mary, Your Most Holy Mother and this to become Your faithful slave by
measurement of Her. But woe is me! I have been ungrateful and unfaithful. I have not
fulfilled the solemn promises I made at my baptism. And since I have not fulfilled my
obligations, I do not deserve to be called Your son; not even Your slave. Since there is
nothing in me that does not deserve Your anger, and Your rejection, I do not dare to
appear alone before Your Holy and Augusta Majesty. For this reason, I go to Your Most
Holy Mother; Well, you have prepared it for me and assigned it as Mediatrix, before
Your divine presence. Through Her I hope to obtain true contrition, forgiveness of my
sins, and the grace to acquire and preserve wisdom.
Hail, O Mary Immaculate, Living Tabernacle of Divinity! Divine Wisdom has been
pleased to hide itself here, to be worshiped by the angels, and by all men! Hail, O Queen
of Heaven and Earth, to whose empire all is subject under the dominion of God! Hail,
Refuge of sinners, whose mercy forsakes no one! Listen to my desires to possess Divine
Wisdom. To this end, receive my vows and offerings that I humbly present to you now:
I, N.,... unfaithful sinner, renew and ratify in your hands, my baptismal vows this day. I
forever renounce Santanás, his pomps and his works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus
Christ, Wisdom Incarnate, to carry my cross and follow Him, all the days of my life.
And I wish to serve you more faithfully and more than I have shown in the past.
In the presence of the entire Celestial Court, I wish to choose you, O Holy Virgin, as my
Mother and Lady. I surrender and consecrate myself totally to you with everything that
belongs to me in a state of slavery. I give you my body, my soul, and all my goods, both
interior and exterior. I still offer you the value of all my good works, past, present and
future. To you I give the full right to dispose of myself, and everything that concerns me
without exception, as you please. And I offer all this for the greater glory of God during
time and for all eternity.
Receive, O benign Virgin, this small offer of my slavery. I offer it to you in honor, and
in union with the humility with which Eternal Wisdom deigned to submit to your
Motherhood. I also pay tribute to the dominion that you both have over this poor sinner
and I thank the Holy Trinity for the privileges with which it has showered you. I declare
that from now on, I wish to honor and obey you fully, in all things, as your true slave.
O admirable Mother! Present to me your kind Son as His eternal slave. Just as He has
redeemed me through your mediation, I also ask that He receive me through your
intervention. O Mother of mercy, grant me the grace to obtain the true wisdom of God!
To this end, I beg you to receive me with those you love and teach, and with all those
you have guided, fed and protected, as your children and slaves.
O faithful Virgin! Help me so that in all things, I may be a perfect disciple, imitator and
slave of the Incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ, Your Divine Son. In this way, through
your intercession, I will reach the fullness of the age of Christ here on earth, and fully
enjoy His glory in Heaven. Amen.

My soul glorifies the Lord.
And My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Because He has set his eyes on the lowliness of His slave; Therefore, from now on all
generations will call Me blessed.
For He who is Almighty has done great things in Me, whose name is holy.
And his mercy is from generation to generation, to those who fear him. He flaunted the
power of his arm; He destroyed the aims of the hearts of the proud.
He brought down the powerful from the throne and exalted the humble.
He filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away with nothing.
Remembering his mercy, he welcomed Israel into his servant.
According to the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants,
forever and ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and forever and ever. Amen.

those who approach You asking for favors. Grant, Lord, everything requested, filling
trusting souls with joy. We ask this through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

A PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
Keep them, I ask you, dear Lord.

Protect them, Jesus, with Divine Love.
Every day they offer themselves to You without
ceasing.
Consuming life before Your altar.
Keep them from the world, Lord, where they
are.
Well, even separated, Satan pursues them.
If worldly pleasures tempt you,
Heart of Jesus, please shelter.
Comfort them, my God, in sorrow and pain.
Dispel anguish and fear from their souls.
In discouragement and loneliness,
Come near, Jesus, and lend help.
Guard, protect, defend them, Lord,
when they are alone and sad
They are also humans with fragile spirits.
Sometimes they become overwhelmed, feeling
weak.
Keep them spotless like a peerless Host,
that they caress daily at the Holy Altar.
Now deign, Lord, to bless
his works, words, and all feelings.

NEVER ATTACK THE PRIEST
CENSORSHIP OF THE PRIEST
The Revelations of Our Lord to Mutter Vogel
"One should NEVER censure the priest, even when one thinks he is guilty of some
error. On the contrary, one must pray for him and do penance, so that My grace may be
returned to him. Only the priest is the one who represents Me. That's how it is. Even
when he does not live according to My example!" (Page 29, "Mutter Vogel's Universal
Love", imprint: St. Grignon Publishing House, Altöting, South Germany; 29. 6. 1929).
"When a priest falls, we must extend the hand of help, THROUGH PRAYER; AND
NOT THROUGH CENSORSHIP! I myself will be your Judge. ONLY ME, AND NO
ONE ELSE! He who censures a priest, does it to Me too. My daughter, never allow the
priest to be attacked. Always defend him." (The Feast of Christ the King, 1937.) "My
daughter, never judge your confessor. Rather, pray a lot for him and offer Holy
Communion for his intention every Thursday, through the hands of My Blessed
Mother" (18. 6. 1939). "Do not speak harsh words (against them) again; EVEN IF IT
WAS TRUE! Each priest is My representative, and My Heart feels sad and offended
with such an insult! When you hear a judgment against a priest, pray a Hail Mary for
him." (28. 6. 1939)
"If you see a priest celebrate the Holy Mass unworthily, say nothing to anyone; but tell
it only to Me! At the altar I am next to him and I am at his side. Oh, we must pray a lot
for My priests! so that they love purity above all things and so that they celebrate the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, with pure hands and chaste hearts. Certainly the Holy
Sacrifice remains the same, even when celebrated by an unworthy priest. But, the graces
poured out on the people are not equal!" (28. 2. 1938)
Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for them.
LITANY OF HUMILITY
(Private devotion only)
His Eminence Cardinal Merry de Val used to pray this litany daily, after celebrating
Holy Mass.
Oh Jesus! meek and humble of heart, listen to me.

From the desire to be esteemed,
Of the desire to be loved,
From the desire to be exalted,
From the desire to be honored,
From the desire of the praised,
From the desire to be preferred,
From the desire to be consulted,
From the desire to be approved,
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of being humiliated,
From the fear of being despised,
From the fear of being reprimanded,
From the fear of being slandered,
From the fear of being forgotten,
From the fear of being ridiculed,
From the fear of injustice,
From the fear of being suspected,
Deliver me, Jesus.
May others be more loved than me,
May others be more esteemed than me,
May others be magnified in the world's opinion
and I humiliated,
May others be preferred and I abandoned,
May others be praised and I belittled,
May others be chosen instead of me in everything,
May others be holier than me, since
I duly sanctify myself,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

CONSECRATING THE LAST TWO HOURS OF

OUR LIFE TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN
Composed by the recently deceased,
Rev. Fr. Ildefonso M. Izaguirre, OP
Prostrate at Your feet, and humiliated by my sins, with full confidence I come to You, O
Mary! I beg you to accept the request that my heart comes to present to you for the last
moments of my life. Dear Mother, I wish to ask for Your protection and maternal love
so that, at the decisive moment, You may do everything Your love suggests to You in
my favor.
To You, O Mother of my soul, I consecrate THE PAST TWO HOURS of my life.

Hurry to my side, and receive my last breath. And when death has destroyed the thread
of my days, present my soul to Jesus, saying: "I LOVE HIM." That single word of
Yours will be enough to assure me of God's blessing and the joy of contemplating You
for all eternity.
O Mother and my Hope! I trust in you. And my trust will not be in vain.
Oh Maria! Pray for Your son and lead him to Jesus!
Amen.
"Abandoning the Mother is a single step

of abandoning the Son."
