DIVINE WILL PRAYER AFTER MASS


Before Leaving Church: 

Most Holy Trinity, you who now dwell inside my body in all of Your Divinity, nothing is beyond Your power. Therefore, I come before you and say, "Thy will be done." I renounce my self-will, and instead promise and desire to do and live in only Your Will. 

Please also preserve the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist within me, so that you may make of me a living Monstrance, that my walk today may be a true Procession through this city’s streets. Make of me a living Host, that all who see me truly gaze upon Your face, and grant me the Gift of Living in the Divine Will, so that Jesus may walk in my walking, speak in my speaking, pray in my praying, and indeed substitute His Divine and Eternal operations for all of my acts, and through me re-do all of the acts of Creation, past, present, and future -- in the Will of God, offering them back to the Father with the seal of my Fiat, which I pray may become an echo of Jesus and Mary’s perfect Fiat. 

Dear Jesus, let all of my sufferings serve as atonement for my sins and those of the whole world, and be fused with Yours in Your Passion and console your Sacred Heart. 

Let all who see me that lack Faith be as Longinus, and acknowledge you are the Son of God. Let all who see me that lack works be as Dismas, and receive the grace of perfect contrition, hope, and trust. Let all who see me that live in sin be as Magdalene and amend their ways. Let all who see me that suffer from wounds of spirit be healed of them, and in place of any darkness or despair, be filled with peace and joy, as you preached the good news to the poor. Let all who see the image of Your Mercy that I wear venerate it and therefore receive the promise you entrusted to Faustina, so they may not perish. Let all who see the weapon of your Mother (Holy Rosary) that I carry receive grace through her intercession, that she may crush the head of the serpent in their lives. 

Do not restrict these graces to only those few who see me but let them be extended to all the friends and family of these and continue in this manner until they reach the furthest ends of Earth, Heaven, and Purgatory; past, present, and future. 

I firmly trust and believe that you can do all of these things, for I ask them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 

Divine Will Missionaries of Mercy

“Jesus, 
I Trust in You. Thy Will be done. 
I give You my will. 
Please give me Yours in Return. 
Let Your Kingdom Come! 
Let Your Will be done on earth 
as it is in Heaven. 
Amen.”

A LENTEN MEDITATION

"The Christ of the University Brotherhood of Cordoba"

The result of the work of a team of scientists who are researchers of the Shroud of Turin. It is the only Shroud-based Crucifix in the world. In it, the wounds of Jesus Christ are reproduced exactly.


Shroud-Based Art of Juan Manuel MiƱarro Lopez


O Sacred Head surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
Death's pallid hue comes o'er Thee,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore Thee,
And tremble as they gaze.

In this, Thy bitter passion,
Good shepherd, think of me,
With Thy most sweet compassion,
Unworthy though I be:
Beneath Thy cross abiding,
Forever would I rest;
In Thy dear love confiding,
And with Thy presence blest.
  


One’s mortal sin testifies to Satan’s victory in one’s life.

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE

This morning, I believe the Lord showed me how to respond to a prayer request for someone with terminal cancer. I am also aware that this is an appropriate response to many other prayer requests I receive.

I replied: (The woman) should receive the Eucharist every day. For about 15 minutes after receiving Holy Communion, she will have within her, flowing through her body, the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ.

 
After receiving Holy Communion each day, (the woman) should pray:

Lord Jesus, as Your Blood mixes with mine and flows through my veins, purify my blood of all cancer cells. (Pause) Lord Jesus, as You flow through me, touch all the areas of my body that need to be restored to health. (Pause) Jesus, I surrender my life to You; take care of everything. Amen.

Of course, (the woman) must be free of all bitterness, resentment... and un-forgiveness. I also recommend The Surrender Novena -- Total Abandonment to God: http://catholicdeliverance.blogspot.com/2014/09/surrender.html


Although there is no distance in prayer, the charism of healing requires physical touch -- that is, “the laying on of hands.” Obviously, this cannot be done “long distance.” But, you do not need someone like me to receive God's healing touch. There is a more perfect way: the Sacraments of the Catholic Church.

 
Jesus Christ Is In The Eucharist! The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist, Jesus is literally and wholly present -- body, blood, soul and divinity -- under the appearances of bread and wine.

“In the Eucharist is the same identical Jesus Who was carried by Mary for nine months in her womb before she delivered Him in Bethlehem. It is the selfsame Jesus Who died on the Cross, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.” _ Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

“Do not, therefore, regard the bread and wine as simply that, for they are, according to the Master’s declaration, the body and blood of Christ. Even though the senses suggest to you the other, let faith make you firm. Do not judge in this matter by taste, but be fully assured by faith, not doubting that you have been deemed worthy of the body and blood of Christ.” _ Cyril of Jerusalem [Saint Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem (348-378) “Doctor of the Church” (Catechetical Discourses)]

BINDING EVIL SPIRITS

Pope Francis recently visited the gypsy community in Rome and celebrated Mass at San Giuseppe all’Aurelio. The Holy Father spoke about babies crying in church: “...Children cry, they are noisy, they don’t stop moving. But it really irritates me when I see a child crying in church and someone says they must go out. God’s voice is in a child’s tears: they must never be kicked out of church.” _ Catholic World News

Pope Francis was speaking to parents of children (babies) baptized in the last year. He called children’s tears “the best sermon” -- but when babies cry in church, they often scream as well... And when this happens, sensitive mothers usually remove their children of their own accord -- they are not kicked out of church. Are they?

Why do babies cry during Mass? Of course, there are many reasons -- but I want to focus on their “spiritual sensitivity” ...

We know that babies are very sensitive and can be “over-stimulated” by the world around them. They can have difficulty processing it all -- people crowded together, the many voices, the music, the noise, the lights, the movement (standing, sitting, kneeling...) -- all too much to take in, especially while teething...

If we had eyes to see what is unseen, we would see a multitude of angels present at every Mass. But can evil spirits also be present in the church during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?

Babies are “spiritually” sensitive.

During a 3-year mission in the Miles Platting area of Manchester, England (1993-1995), I attended Mass at the Basilica of Corpus Christi, a Norbertine Priory. One day during Mass, I was unusually distracted. The babies in the church were crying -- all of them!

I received an inspiration and said, "Evil spirits in this church, I BIND you in Jesus’ Name.” Immediately, the babies in the church stopped crying -- all of them!


Yes. Evil spirits can be present in the church during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The people bring them in with them. And babies react to an evil presence. (In the Traditional Latin Mass, the priest sprinkles the people with holy water before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass begins. Holy water drives out evil spirits.)

Have you ever been unusually distracted by thoughts during Mass -- even while trying to focus your attention on the readings and prayers?

Whenever your “inner peace” is disturbed, realize that something is disturbing it! And one way to restore peace is to BIND evil spirits: “Evil spirits, I BIND you in Jesus’ Name.”

REVERENCE FOR THE HOLY EUCHARIST

Click to enlarge
 
“The picture above is of my home in Fort Valley, Virginia, and the light is coming from my (private) chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved. There is no light in the window and there is no sun out on the day of the picture.” (It was a cloudy day.) _ Fr. Robert Lange

In May 2007, Bishop Paul Loverde of the Arlington Diocese of Northern Virginia gave Rev. Robert Lange permission to reserve the Blessed Sacrament in his chapel on the second floor of his home. The Eucharist had been reserved in the chapel less than a week when this picture was taken from the front porch of a neighbor’s home.

When the neighbor aimed her camera and tried to focus, she said the light coming from Fr. Robert Lange’s house was so bright that it was difficult to look into the camera. (It was a cloudy day and there was no light on in the chapel.) She took the picture and the image -- the Star of David -- is what came out on her digital camera. Not being Catholic, the neighbor had no understanding of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

“My opinion is that Our Lord wanted to give us a beautiful reminder of His True Presence in the Holy Eucharist -- Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity! It is a reminder that He is with us always, that we are never alone, that He is the Son of God and the Son of Man. It is a vivid reminder that He truly suffered and died on the Cross and that He Is Present in this world -- until His Second Coming -- in this Most Special manner -- the Eucharist.
Just as the Star appeared over the stable in Bethlehem when the Christ Child was born, so the Star of David has appeared through the window of my chapel on St. David’s Church Road, Fort Valley, Virginia, to remind us of His Care, Love, Protection, and Presence in our lives today and always.”
_ Fr. Robert Lange (December 2007)

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE REAL PRESENCE?

The Eucharist Is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ


The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist, Jesus is literally and wholly present -- body, blood, soul and divinity -- under the appearances of bread and wine.

(1 Corinthians 10:16-17; 11:23-29 and
John 6:32-71)

“In the Eucharist is the same identical Jesus Who was carried by Mary for nine months in her womb before she delivered Him in Bethlehem. It is the selfsame Jesus Who died on the Cross, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.” _ Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

Your faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist will save you. Your faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist will heal you. Your faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist will deliver you.

“Faith is (a grace) a gift of God,
a supernatural virtue infused by Him.”
(CCC 153)

“Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you. And from that hour the woman was cured. (Matthew 9:22)

“Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.” (Mark 5:34) … “Go your way; your faith has saved you. Immediately he received his sight and followed Him on the way. (Mark 10:52)

“Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.” (Luke 8:48) … “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you. (Luke 17:19) … “Have sight; your faith has saved you. (Luke 18: 42)

At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed, and called out in a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet.” He jumped up and began to walk about. (Acts 14:8-10)

In June 2010, I took a demonized woman to a Perpetual Adoration Chapel for ministry. While we were there, the woman had a mystical experience before the Blessed Sacrament -- and she started to believe in the Real Presence. And as the woman’s faith in the Real Presence grew, the demons withdrew! (The demonic voices in her head were silenced.)
