BEATA MARIA SALVE REGINA MEA

"1) All those who honor my face in a spirit of reparation will by doing so perform the office of the pious Veronica. According to the care they take in making reparation to my Face, disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God.

2) Those who by words, prayers or writing defend My cause in this work of reparation I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom.

3) By offering My Face to My eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and theconversion of many sinners will be obtained.

4) By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God and draw down mercy on sinners.

5) As in a Kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the Kings effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of my Holy Face.

6) Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory.

7) They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendour in Heaven.

8) I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance."

"O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become “the most abject of men, a man of sorrows”, I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men.The tears that thou hast shed so abundantly appear to me as so many precious pearls that I love to gather up, in order to purchase the souls of poor sinners by means of their infinite value. O Jesus, whose adorable Face ravishes my heart, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine Image, to set me on fire with Thy Love, and to make me worthy to contemplate in Heaven Thy glorious Face. Amen."

The following Chaplet of Reparation contains prayers composed by Sister Marie of St Peter after Jesus asked her to battle in prayer against the “enemies of God”, especially communists.(Even if you do not have the ‘chaplet’ of beads, you can still pray the prayers). Chaplet beads can be ordered from the address at the end.

The Holy Face Chaplet beads consists of 33 beads made up of 5 sets of 6 beads each to make reparation for the sins of blasphemy against Our Lord’s Holy Face through His five senses and the last three beads in honour of the three years of our Lord’s public ministry on earth.

On the Crucifix say:

"Eternal Father I offer You the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ and all the other instruments of His Holy Passion, that You may put division in the camp of Your enemies; for as Your Beloved Son has said, "A kingdom divided against itself shall fall."

On the next five beads say:

1) May God arise and let His enemies be scattered and let those who hate Him flee before His Face!

2) May the thrice Holy Name of God overthrow all their plans!

3) May the Holy Name of the Living God split them up by disagreements!

4) May the terrible Name of the God of Eternity stamp out all their godlessness!

5) Lord, I do not desire the death of the sinner, but that he be converted and live. "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

On the medal, say the "Golden Arrow" prayer:

“May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.”

On the thirty three white beads say:

"Arise, O Lord, and let Your enemies be scattered, and let those that hate You flee before Your Face."

On each of the six large beads say:

My Jesus, mercy” and one “Glory Be..”

On the medal at the end say:

Eternal Father, I offer You the Holy Face of Jesus, covered with blood, sweat, dust and spittle, in reparation for the crimes of communists, blasphemers, and for the profaners of the Holy Name and of the Holy Day of Sunday. (This exclamation is also recommended to be recited frequently throughout the day).

"Almighty and Eternal Father, since it has pleased Our Divine Saviour to reveal to mankind in modern times the power residing in His Holy Face, we now avail ourselves of this treasure in our great need. Since our Savior Himself promised that by offering to you His Holy face disfigured in the passion we can procure the settlement of all the affairs of our household, and that nothing whatsoever will be refused to us, we now come before Your throne. Eternal Father, turn away Your angry gaze from our guilty people whose face has become unsightly in your eyes. Look instead upon the Face of Your Beloved Son; for this is the Face of Him in whom you are well pleased. We now offer You His Holy face covered with blood, sweat, dust, spittle and shame, in reparation for the worst crimes of our age, which are atheism, blasphemy and the desecration of Your holy days. We thus hope to appease Your anger justly provoked against us. The All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our cause; listen to His cries, behold His tears, O God, and through the merits of His Holy Face, hearken to Him when he intercedes for us poor miserable sinners."

"O Jesus, humbly prostrate in your presence, I desire to consecrate myself entirely to you and only to live longer in order to love you. I am joyful, in making this consecration to you. Yes, I give you and I consecrate to you my heart, my soul, my spirit and my life: my heart to love you above everything, you are the beauty which is always ancient and always new; let my soul reflect the resemblance which you have given it in baptism; let my spirit receive and radiate the light of your words; my life to bear witness that you are love and that you desire the salvation of all men. Finally make the day come, when according to the Apostle's expression, I will contemplate you, no more in an obscure manner, but face to Face, as you are."

"May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored, and glorified in heaven, on earth, and in the hells, by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen."

"1.Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself.

2.Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.

3.Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.

4.Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,

5.for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.

6.He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.

7.He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.

8.You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.

9.My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,

10.then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.

11.For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.

12.But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.

13.And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.

14.If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

15.I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.

16.The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.

Isaiah 43:1

43 But now, this is what the Lord says—

he who created you, Jacob,

he who formed you, Israel:

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

"I tell you that you have less to suffer in following the Cross than in serving the world and its pleasures." - #SaintJohnMaryVianney

Today is the #FeastDay of Saint Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney (Curé d'Ars), Patron Saint of Parish Priests. #SaintoftheDay #CurédArs

My mom is…fine (?)

My mom was diagnosed with hydrocephalus when she was a teen. At the time there was no cure and you’d either end up dead or brain dead. So she went through 5 experimental brain surgeries and eventually they found something that worked. My mom’s surgeries are in medical books.

Anyways flash forward to today she’s been having problems with her shunt. Which is a tube that drains the fluid in your brain. The problem is the surgeons said it’s been in there so long that if they mess with it, it will instantly kill her. So another surgery isn’t possible.

So far she’s just been having occasional seizures but we don’t know if it will get worse. So she possibly could be fine, we just don’t really know.

"The Mother of God precedes humanity and everyone follows her. She precedes in love, in purity, in closeness to God."
