When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly
there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. (Acts 2:1-4)
The place where Jesus had his Last Supper,
and washed the feet of the disciples.
The place where Jesus instituted the priesthood,
and instituted the Eucharist.
The place where the Holy Spirit
came upon the disciples
on the day of Pentecost.
"Do not grow weary of turning to Heaven: the world stands in need of prayer. It needs men and women who feel the attraction of Heaven in their life, who make praise to the Lord a new way of life. And may you be joyful Christians! I entrust you all to Mary Most Holy, present in the Upper Room at the event of Pentecost. Persevere with her in prayer, walk guided by the light of the living Holy Spirit, proclaiming the Good News of Christ." _ Address of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI to Charismatic Catholics on May 26, 2012
OUR LORD TOLD ST. FAUSTINA, “My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable Mercy. I desire that the ‘Feast of Mercy’ be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender Mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My Mercy.
THE SOUL THAT WILL GO TO CONFESSION AND RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION SHALL OBTAIN COMPLETE FORGIVENESS OF SINS ‘ANDPUNISHMENT.’
On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My Mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender Mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My Love and Mercy throughout eternity. The ‘Feast of Mercy’ emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be ‘solemnly celebrated on THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER EASTER.’ Mankind will not have Peace until it turns to the fount of My Mercy.” (“Divine Mercy In My Soul,” Diary of St. Faustina, #699)
TO FULLY PARTICIPATE IN THE FEAST OF MERCY:
1) Go to Confession.
2) Receive the Eucharist.
3) Offer prayers for the intentions of the Pope.
4) Recite the “Divine Mercy Chaplet”
in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament
Or
In a state of grace, practice a work of charity
in honor of The Divine Mercy.
“JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU”
(The more one chooses to trust, the more grace one receives.)
THE CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY is a Powerful prayer that pleads God’s Mercy on the whole world. (3:oo PM is the “Hour of Mercy.”)
“Today I was awakened by a great storm. The wind was raging, and it was raining in torrents, thunderbolts striking again and again. I began to pray that the storm would do no harm, when I heard the words: ‘Say the chaplet I have taught you, and the storm will cease.’ I began immediately to say the chaplet and hadn’t even finished it when the storm suddenly ceased, and I heard the words: ‘Through the chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My Will.’” (“Divine Mercy In My Soul,” Diary of St. Faustina, #1731)
“When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the Just Judge but as the Merciful Savior.” (“Divine Mercy In My Soul,” Diary of St. Faustina, #1541)
Our Lord revealed to St. Faustina His desire to flood us with His graces on that day. Reflect on each of the promises and desires that He expressed about Divine Mercy Sunday, which are recorded in entry 699 of the Diary of St. Faustina -- the main passage about the Feast of Mercy:
• On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open.
• I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon souls who approach the Fount of My Mercy [the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist].
• The soul that will go to Confession [beforehand] and receive Holy Communion [on that day] shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.
• On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened.
• Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.
• My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout eternity.
• Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity.
• The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness.
• It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter.
• Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy.
These promises and desires point to an amazing flood of graces that are available to us on Divine Mercy Sunday -- including complete forgiveness of sins and punishment! The slate can be wiped clean, and we can be granted a completely fresh start in life. _ Fr. George W. Kosicki, CSB
During days of apostasy, fallen-away Catholics -- not in a “state of grace” and not Sacramentally fortified -- become vulnerable “to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1).” The Devil offers excitement, diversion, mystery, intrigue… The Devil lures people into forbidden Occult practices -- and away from God.
Evil increases insensibly, once it is given in to. And one’s mortal sin testifies to the Devil’s victory in one’s life. Having turned away from the Light, fallen-away Catholics become more and more curious about the Dark Side -- the Occult, spiritism and the paranormal...
The current craze is “paranormal investigation” (charged and sustained by a Godless Hollywood). One’s willing participation in such activity is consent given, and doors (portals) to the demonic are opened. There can be dangerous consequences:
We were playing with the Ouija board. Suddenly, objects started flying across the room! At night, I often see a dark figure standing in my bedroom. It is like a shadow man watching me. And I get terrible nightmares.
A paranormal investigator was attacked during an investigation (scratch marks on his back). When he returned home he began to suffer the sexually-stimulating attacks of a succubus spirit. And objects began to move in his house.
Demons can attach to people, and people can bring demons home with them. This is how some houses become haunted -- that is, infested with demons.
August 2017 _ I visited a desperate family in Upper Darby, PA being targeted by a (real) witch from Trinidad. I agreed to see them because they were not getting the help they needed... I prayed for the family members, and sprayed holy water throughout the house.
Soon after returning home, I thought I had some kind of flea infestation in my carpet. I never saw them; I just felt them. I cleaned, and I cleaned some more... I even used a body wash that repels biting insects (such as fleas and ticks)...
One month later _ I was inspired to record a video of my apartment using the flash on my smartphone. This is when I discovered that the fleas in my apartment were not fleas.
This is what a demonic infestation looks like.
Demons can attach to objects connected to a dark (diabolical) force: objects used in pagan rituals, false religions, white and black witchcraft, Santeria and Satanic rituals… objects of the Occult (amulets, crystal balls… Ouija boards/witchboards, dowsing rods... Tarot cards and horoscopes). These (cursed/Occultic) objects can bring a dark presence into your home; they can be the source of a demonic infestation.
"Any object created (or book written) for Satanic use is a conduit for demonic spirits and reverberates Satanic power."
A demonic infestation can cause fear, obsessive thoughts, emotional stress, anger/arguments… anxiety, depression, nightmares, insomnia, sleep paralysis… headaches, nausea, digestion problems… and other physical ailments due to a weakened immune system.
Some of the phenomena can include: hearing footsteps, voices, tapping on the walls... the opening and closing of doors, poltergeist activity… seeing shadows, apparitions and shadow men… the physical movement of objects, electrical problems… unnatural coldness, the shaking of beds… and bodies being touched, and scratched...

If you sense a dark presence in your home:
1) During the night with all lights out, walk throughout the house using the flash on your smartphone camera. If there are any evil spirits in any of the rooms, they will become visible on your camera as orbs.
2) Remove and destroy all objects that have anything to do with false religions [including statues of false gods (idols) and ceremonial masks], witchcraft, voodoo, spiritism, Santeria, Satanism and the Occult (including gothic jewelry and good luck charms) ... remove all heavy metal and hip-hop music (which have their basis in Satanism) ... and all pornographic materials. Remove, destroy and sprinkle with holy water.
3) Fill a spray bottle with holy water and walk throughout the house spraying a mist of holy water in every room, closet and hallway.
4) Use Sacramentals (blessed medals, crucifix, holy water, blessed oil and exorcized salt).

We have entered very serious times. With sober humility and steadfast resolve, we must endure, build each other up, and be a sign of hope to those around us.
No matter how violently the wind and waves rise and howl, know that Christ is Master of the Storm."

A Powerful Novena:
Day 1
Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying?
Leave the care of your affairs to Me and
everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth
that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to
Me produces the effect that you desire and
resolves all difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 2
Surrender to Me does not mean to fret, to be
upset, or to lose hope; nor does it mean offering to
Me a worried prayer asking Me to follow you and
change your worry into prayer. It is against this
surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be
nervous, and to desire to think about the
consequences of anything. It is like the confusion
that children feel when they ask their mother to
see to their needs, and then try to take care of
those needs for themselves so that their childlike
efforts get in their mother’s way.
Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the
soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation
and to put yourself in My care, so that only I act -- saying, “You take care of it.”
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 3
How many things I do when the soul, in so much
spiritual and material need, turns to Me, looks at
Me and says to Me, “You take care of it” -- then
closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for Me to
act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not
turn to Me; instead, you want Me to adapt to your
ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor
to cure you; but rather, sick people who tell the
doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as
I taught you in the Our Father: “Hallowed be thy
Name” -- that is, be glorified in my need. “Thy
kingdom come” -- that is, let all that is in us and in
the world be in accord with Your kingdom. “Thy
will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven” -- that is,
in our need, decide as You see fit for our temporal
and eternal life.
If you say to Me truly: “Thy will be done,” which
is the same as saying: “You take care of it,” I will
intervene with all My omnipotence, and I will
resolve the most difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 4
You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do
not worry. Close your eyes and say to Me with
faith: “Thy will be done, You take care of it.” I
say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will
intervene as does a doctor, and I will accomplish
miracles when they are needed. Do you see that
the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset,
but close your eyes and say, “You take care of it.”
I say to you that I will take care of it, and that
there is no medicine more powerful than My
loving intervention. By My love, I promise this to
you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 5
And when I must lead you on a path different
from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will
carry you in My arms; I will let you find yourself,
like children who have fallen asleep in their
mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river.
What troubles you and hurts you immensely are
your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your
desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 6
You are sleepless; you want to judge everything,
direct everything and see to everything, and you
surrender to human strength -- or worse, to men
themselves, trusting in their intervention. This is
what hinders My words and My views. Oh how
much I wish from you this surrender, to help you; and how I suffer when I see you so agitated!
Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to
remove you from My protection, and to throw you
into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in
Me, rest in Me, surrender to Me in everything.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 7
I perform miracles in proportion to your full
surrender to Me, and to your not thinking of
yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when
you are in the deepest poverty. No person of
reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles,
not even among the saints. He does divine works
whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think
about it any more, because your mind is acute, and
for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in
Me, and to not think of yourself. Do this for all
your needs; do this all of you and you will see
great, continual, silent miracles. I will take care of
things; I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 8
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away
on the flowing current of My grace. Close your
eyes and do not think of the present, turning your
thoughts away from the future, just as you would
from temptation. Repose in Me, believing in My
goodness, and I promise you by My love that if
you say, “You take care of it,” I will take care of it
all. I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 9
Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you
will receive from it great peace and great rewards,
even when I confer on you the grace of
immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what
does suffering matter? It seems impossible to
you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul,
“Jesus, You take care of it.” Do not be afraid; I
will take care of things and you will bless My
Name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers
cannot equal one single act of surrender,
remember this well. There is no novena more
effective than this:
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything!”
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Mother, I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you I want to
always belong to Jesus.
In the name of Jesus Christ, under the Mantle of Mary, through the intercession of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, I place myself in the presence of Jesus Christ and submit to His Lordship. I “put on God's Armor so as to be able to resist the Devil's tactics.” (Ephesians 6:10-11)
I stand my ground “with Truth buckled around my waist and integrity for a breastplate.” (Ephesians 6:14)
I carry the “shield of Faith” to “put out the burning arrows of the evil one.”
(Ephesians 6:16)
I accept “Salvation from God to be my helmet and receive the Word of God from the Spirit to use as a sword.” (Ephesians 6:17)
In the name of Jesus Christ crucified, died and risen, I bind all the spirits of the air, the atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground, the underground, and the
netherworld. I also bind the influence of any lost or fallen soul who may be
present, and all emissaries of the Satanic headquarters or any coven of witches
or warlocks or Satan worshipers who may be present in some preternatural way.
I claim the Blood of Jesus on the air and atmosphere, the water, the fire, the
wind, the ground and their fruits all around us, the underground and the
netherworld.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid every adversary mentioned to communicate with or help one another in any way, or to communicate with me, or to do anything at all except what I command in Jesus' Name.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I seal this place and all present and all family and associates of those present and their places and possessions and sources of supply in the Blood of Jesus.
(Repeat three times.)
In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid any lost spirits, covens, Satanic groups or emissaries or any of their associates, subjects or superiors to harm or take revenge on me, my family and my associates, or cause harm or damage to anything we have.
In the name of Jesus Christ and by the Merits of His Precious Blood, I break and dissolve every curse, hex, seal, spell, sorcery, bond, snare, trap, device, lie, stumbling block, obstacle, deception, diversion or distraction, spiritual chain or spiritual influence, also every disease of body, soul, mind or spirit placed upon us or on this place, or on any of the persons, places and things mentioned, by any agent, or brought on us by our own mistakes or sins.
(Repeat three times.)
I now place the Cross of Jesus Christ between myself and all generations in my family tree. I say in the name of Jesus Christ that there will be no direct communication between the generations. All communication will be filtered through the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mary Immaculate, clothe me in the Light, Power and Energy of Your Faith. Father, please assign the Angels and Saints to assist me. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being my Wisdom, my Justice, my Sanctification, my Redemption. I surrender to the ministry of Your Holy Spirit, and receive Your Truth concerning intergeneration healing.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the Beginning, is now and ever shall be. AMEN.
The 100th Anniversary of the Sixth Apparition of Fatima
(October 13, 2017)
National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima
Washington, New Jersey, USA

Speaker: Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.,
One of the world’s foremost experts on the apparitions at Fatima.
October 13, 1917
People descended by the tens of thousands on the cova despite the terrible storm that lashed the mountain country around Fatima. By mid-morning the weather again turned bad and heavy rain began to fall.
Around noon, the children saw a flash of light as Mary appeared before them. For the last time, Lucia asked what she wanted. Mary responded: “I want to tell you that a chapel is to be built here in my honor. I am the Lady of the Rosary. Continue always to pray the Rosary every day. The war is going to end, and the soldiers will soon return to their homes.”
Lucia made requests for cures, conversions and other things. Our Lady’s response was: “Some yes, but not others. They must amend their lives and ask forgiveness for their sins.”
Sister Lucia tells us that at this point Mary grew very sad and said: “Do not offend the Lord our God anymore, because He is already so much offended.” Then, opening her hands, she made them reflect on the sun and, as she ascended, the reflection of her own light continued to be projected on the sun itself. After she disappeared, as the people witnessed the great miracle which had been predicted, the children saw the visions foretold during the September apparition. - World Apostolate of Fatima, USA
The Miracle of the Sun
The greatest miracle to occur since The Resurrection is also the only miracle ever precisely predicted as to date, time of day and location. Although it is popularly known as “The Miracle of the Sun” and October 13, 1917 has come to be known as “The Day the Sun Danced,” a great deal more took place. The solar phenomena included the dancing of the sun, its fluctuations in color, its swirling and its descending toward the earth. There were also the stillness in the leaves of the trees in spite of howling winds, the complete drying of the rain soaked ground, and the restoration of clothes all wet and covered with mud so that, as eye-witness Dominic Reis put it, “they looked as though they had just come back from the cleaners.” Physical cures of the blind and the lame were reported. The countless unreserved public confessions of sin and commitments to conversion of life attest to the authenticity of what they saw.
The miracle is reported to have been seen from as far as 15-25 miles away, thus ruling out the possibility of any type of collective hallucination or mass hypnotism. Doubters and skeptics had become believers. Even O Seculo’s chief editor, Avelino de Almeida, who had written satirically before, now reported affirmatively, and stood by his story later on in spite of harsh criticism.

Sun Miracle during Apparition of Mary
Good Friday (April 14, 2017)
Source: Emmanuel Sseguya
Nestled among tea plantations outside Kampala, the hilltop shrine of Kiwamirembe had its roots as a site of prayer for peace during Uganda’s devastating civil wars. It was finally launched in 1989 as a place for spiritual refuge, healing and thanksgiving for deliverance from the wars.
Kiwamirembe means “giver of peace.” ...The shrine draws pilgrims throughout the year, for overnight vigils, daily Masses, Stations of The Cross and Good Friday Passion walks.
