If You Trust The Virgin Mary Then Speak To Her With This Powerful Prayer

Dear Mother, I surrender to you all that I am and have. I am called to give you my life. It doesn’t matter that I am broken. It doesn’t matter that I am wounded. My wound becomes a fissure that opens me. I don’t want to close the wound. I don’t want to seal the fissure.

Thank you, Mother, for loving me. Thank you for being with me. Thank you for walking at my side every step of the way. Thank you for being a mother who will never leave me in times of difficulty. Thank you for being my Mother.”

I can give everything when I know that there are arms waiting to hold me up

8. Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Behold, O Mother of Perpetual Help,
at thy feet a wretched sinner,
who has recourse to thee and trusts in thee.
O Mother of mercy, have pity on me;
I hear all men call thee the refuge and hope of sinners:
be: therefore my refuge and my hope.
Help me for the love of Jesus Christ:Best gifts for your loved ones
hold out thy hand to a fallen wretch,
who commends himself to thee
and dedicates himself to be thy servant forever.
I praise and thank God,
who, of His great mercy
hath given me this confidence in thee,
a sure pledge of my eternal salvation.
Alas, it is only too true
that in the past I have fallen miserably,
because I did not come to thee.
I know that with thy help I shall conquer;
I know that thou wilt help me,
if I commend myself to thee;
but I am fearful lest in the occasions of sin
I shall forget to call upon thee
and so I shall be lost.
This grace, then, do I ask of thee;
for this I implore thee,
as much as I can and know how to do;
namely, that in the assaults of hell
I may ever run to thy protection
and may say to thee:
Mary, help me;
Mother of Perpetual Help,
permit me not to lose my God.

Approved by Pope Sixtus V in 1587

The below prayer of dedication of a family to Our Lady was composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori. St. Alphonsus is a Doctor of the Church and author of one of the classic theological works on the Blessed Mother, the Glories of Mary, from which this prayer is taken.

If possible, recite this prayer with the whole family together, led by the head of the household, before an image, statue, or other reverent depiction of the Blessed Mother.

DEDICATION OF A FAMILY TO MARY
Oh Blessed and Immaculate Virgin, our Queen and Mother, refuge and consolation of all those who are in misery, I, prostrate before thy throne with all my family, choose thee for my Lady, Mother, and Advocate with God.

I, with all who belong to me, dedicate myself forever to thy service, and pray thee, oh Mother of God, to receive us into the number of thy servants, taking us all under thy protection, aiding us in life, and still more, at the hour of our death.

Oh Mother of Mercy, I choose thee Lady and ruler of my whole house, of my relatives, my interests, and all my affairs. Do not disdain to take care of them; dispose of them all as it pleases thee.

Bless me, then, and all my family, and do not permit that any of us should offend thy Son. Do thou defend us in temptations, deliver us from dangers, provide for us in our necessities, counsel us in our doubts, console us in our necessities, counsel us in our doubts, console us in afflictions, be with us in sickness, and especially in the agonies of death.

Do not permit the devil to glory in having in his chains any of us who are now consecrated to thee; but grant that we may come to thee in heaven to thank thee, and together with thee to praise and love our Redeemer Jesus for all eternity. Amen, thus may it be.

This hard-hitting picture illustrate the sad reality of everyday life humans live now, and the sad part is, change doesn’t seem to be near.

The Sacred Heart in Art

One concrete way we are reminded of this love is through beautiful images of the Heart of Jesus, as the Directives guiding our re-creation mention.

The classical images of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus represent the Risen Lord in its pictures or statues. It is He who comes to his apostles, showing his wounds and sending them on mission…[these images can help us] connect [our] lives with the Risen Lord and to walk with him.

He Himself took our Infirmities and Carried away our diseases.

The Mother Teresa emergency novena is simple: Pray the Memorare nine times in a row for your intention. Mother Teresa did this frequently (though she always added an immediate 10th Memorare in thanksgiving, so confident was she in receiving divine assistance). Her life is full of stories of invoking Mary’s intercession and the miraculous events that transpired when she did.

And it doesn’t end there. A quick internet search uncovers hundreds of stories of miracles attributed to this prayer. Testimonies of fixed financial problems, new jobs, redeemed relationships, and physical healing fill the comment sections each time the novena is mentioned.

I have experienced great blessings from this novena and I know you will too. When encountering a difficulty that is both urgent and anxious, take comfort, ask Blessed MotherTeresa to join you, and begin:

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

1. Kneel down and say,
"Forgive me father for I have sinned."

2. Then say: "It is, weeks, months,

years since my last confession."

3. Then tell the priest your sins and how many times you committed each sin.

If you cannot remember how many times, tell the priest about how many times, for example: "about five times."
Or, you may say how many times you committed a sin every day, or every week or every month.

Do not say "Several times" or "many times"

4. When you have finished, say: "I am sorry for these sins,

and those I cannot remember and I ask your pardon and peace"

5. Then listen to what the priest says and the penance he gives you.

6. Then say the Act of sorrow (contrition).
"O, my God, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You, because You are so good and loving. With the help of Your grace I will not sin again."

7. Then the priest will give absolution. After this, return to your seat to pray and do the penance the priest has given you.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month. Amen

This amazing sighting was photographed by an unknown US Marine over the Somali Desert.
This happened at the time when there was war in Somalia.
About 20 years back this was published in Deccan Chronicle on April 23, 1993.
The description given by the paper said that the face of Christ spread
over a distance of nearly 500 miles in the sky.
The name of the place must be in old Kannada the meaning must be the face of Jesus.
MOGADISHU means in Kannada the face of Jesus.
What is interesting is that this face is remarkably similar to the actor Robert Powell who played the role of Jesus in the movie
Jesus of Nazareth!
So as much as I like to believe it is Jesus Christ.

My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God

Please pray The Five Fatima Prayers

If You Pray This Prayer Daily, Jesus Christ Will Bless You With A Miracle

O most holy heart of Jesus, the fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Grant, Good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger.

Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.

Do what ever JESUS tells you.

This picture was taken several years ago in Czeckoslovakia. The story behind this picture is that someone went to Czeckoslovakia to a field to witness the Virgin Mary apparition that was regularly taking place there. The person that took this picture never saw the Virgin Mary while he was there but he did smell roses. So he decided to take random pictures all around the field. When he checked the photos after his return from the trip he saw the Virgin Mary in this picture. This is a truly beautiful picture of Our Holy Mother.

AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

An Actual Photograph
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of God?

(This is not an artificially created — or manipulated — picture of Mary, but what is held to be an actual photograph of Mary)

In 1970, a pilgrim visiting the Shrine of San De Marco, Italy, had a vision of a woman who told him to take a picture of the setting sun. Having a simple Polaroid camera, he only saw the sunset when he snapped this picture. When the picture was developed, this image of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared (note the sunset at the lower right of the picture." This image was taken from a home-made Christmas Card, and scanned December 24, 1997. The photographer is unknown. It appears below:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta Maria,
Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc,
et in hora mortis nostrae.

Amen.

Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen.

Living Lent': Tuesday of the First Week of Lent - Day 7

PRAY:
"Glorify the Lord with me; let us together extoled his name. I sought the Lord and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears." (Psalm 19:15)

READING: Matthew 6:7-8

7 'In your prayers do not babble as the gentiles do, for they think that by using many words they will make themselves heard.

8 Do not be like them; your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

MEDITATION:
Just as a parent knows what their child needs, be it food or medicine, our Father in heaven also knows what we need. The problem arrives when we think we know better than God does for our lives.

Instead of worrying about things we cannot control, we must give these concerns to God. This is an exercise in humility. Turning our troubles over to God, particularly when we can do nothing about them is an act of faith. It demonstrates our trust and our belief that God will see us through every difficulty.

LET US PRAY:
Lord, here are the troubles that concern me. (list your worries) Please take the troubles from me that I may spend my energy not on worry, but on helping others.

ACTION:
Recognize that others have worries you can fix. It might be help with bills, babysitting or a meal. If can be as simple as covering for a coworker or helping a neighbor with a difficult chore. Let God deal with your worries and be the help someone needs for theirs. Find a way you can be someone's solution today.

Living Lent': Monday of the First Week of Lent - Day 6

PRAY:
"Let he words of my mouth and the thought of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer." (Psalm 19:15)

READING: Matthew 25:45

45 "Amen I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me."

MEDITATION:
When we practice Lent, we often practice for ourselves. We give things up that are difficult or inconvenient and we feel we have made a good sacrifice. But we often forget to consider how our sacrifice affects others. How often do our sacrifices also inconvenience others? Or what if our sacrifice does nothing to others at all? Neither situation is best. The best is a sacrifice that actually helps others.

We can put ashes on our heads, pray and fast, and mourn, but how does this make the world a better place? Who is served by these deeds? We may be serving ourselves, but are we serving others?

This Lent, look for a war to turn your sacrifice into service to others. How much better it is to sacrifice in such a way that others benefit.

LET US PRAY:
Lord, give me the grace to think of others I encounter during my Lenten journey. Give me the strength to do what's needed.

ACTION:
Find a way to convert your sacrifice into something for others. Or, if you must make a new sacrifice. Do one thing today that truly helps a person in need. Remember, it must cost you something significant so it can change you, pocket change or a few minutes of passing time are not enough.
