Received in about 15 minutes
Messenger: At every Mass we
bring all of our
offerings in trying to serve God doing all things
for His honor and glory — We lay down our lives —
united to Jesus at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
God has taught us
the importance of the
Mass, as members of the body of Christ — we come as
great intercessors to worship, love, adore, honor
and
petition our God for our needs and for the sake
of souls. We love the souls more deeply every
moment of our lives.
Our participation
at Mass as a member of the body
of Christ — a baptized Catholic is so important to
our lives and the lives of the Church and the world.
It is so important our realization of this at Mass
we pray for the priests, the Church and the world in
the prayer chapters, but our awareness of daily
Mass and our participation at Mass praying for
the priests, the Church and the world is so
important.
Our lives lived
every moment so identified
with Christ is a constant offering through the
morning offering, praying to the Father, united to
Jesus,
in the Holy Spirit united to the angels and saints
and the souls in purgatory — through the
intercession
of Mary —
We pray so very
deeply — giving our lives here below
for our own salvation some day and for the sake of
souls on earth and in purgatory.
Our awareness of
the heavenly banquet is so
keen — our thirsting for the beatific vision for all
eternity and our ever growing love of God and of
souls is why we live.
Love is it.
Growth in the
ways of being more likened to Him
creatures of love. Permeated with the love of the
Holy Spirit — His Spirit filling our souls to be as
God
desires us to be every moment of our lives.
Our life is a
sacrifice — an offering to the Father,
in the Holy Spirit — so united to the Holy Sacrifice
of
the Mass going on around the world.
Our lives are harmonious — with order and love
despite the disharmony of this world that surrounds
us — we are living the Word of God so deep in our
soul — His Word is alive in us — we are one with
God so deeply — So actively united to the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass being celebrated around the world.
We are one with each other in a special way giving ourselves
especially to the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
One in Their Hearts — purity
One in the body of Christ — strength
harmony
accord —
like the parts of a body are one, finger, toe, etc —
We are one — His precious creatures —
Jesus shed His blood for
Spreading the devotion to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts —
Helps us to be more one and holy — offering a
more pure sacrifice of our lives given
(laying down our lives for God).
This sacrifice IS doing our work.
It is our offering —
It is living our lives as He wants us to in love.
Living according to one's vocation — mother, husband,
son, daughter, elderly in a nursing home —
tiny tot, religious — serving the Church through
a life of marriage in a special way to Jesus.

Forgive them Father
Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do!
Amidst the curses, the injuries, the persecutions,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
Amidst the pain, the anguish, the distress, the misery,
the agony, the torment, and the afflictions,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
Amidst the indignant, the disagreeable, the resentful, the
displeased, the suspicious,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
Amidst the dissatisfied, the jealous, the prideful, the
intolerant, the distrustful,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
Amidst the vengeful, the bitter, the unfriendly, the
stubborn, the uncooperative,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
Amidst the loathful, the critical, the annoyed,
the irritated,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
Amidst the antagonistic, the hostile, the outraged, the
quarrelsome, the impatient,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
Amidst the defiant, the sarcastic, the disobedient, the
rebellious, the demanding, the greedy,
forgive them for they know not what they do.
O Lord, may I live in Your love, by Your love, and for
Your love so that I may know the meaning and the gift of
forgiveness.
May my last words on this earthly journey be:
“Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.”
Courage and Patience
Teach me, O Lord, to bear the unavoidable sufferings of life
with courage and patience.
In times of unpleasantness, ailments, exhaustion,
separation, loneliness, intemperance, aridity, weariness,
temptations, change, struggle, storms, opposition,
contradictions, dangers, privations, pains and persecutions,
teach me to endure, surmount, and overcome what
I encounter.
Grant me, O Lord, the courage and patience to bear all in
a spirit of serenity for love of You.
Support me in transforming these crosses into sources of
purification, sources for molding my entire being into what
You want me to be.
May You transform these sufferings into a means of
accepting Your Love and heavenly will, of growing in the
virtues, and of receiving the gift of union and intimacy
with You.
Help me, O Lord, to accept my sufferings in conformity to
Your will.
Help me, Mary
O Precious Mother Mary, comfort me from the foot of the
Cross when I, like your Son, feel condemned or even
crucified for simply being dedicated to a life of faith.
When I cannot understand the hate of others, help me,
Mary, to follow your example of trust and compassion.
When I cannot understand those who have turned their
backs on me after all I have done for them, help me, Mary,
to follow your example of faith and forgiveness.
When I give unconditional love and am responded to with
“crucify him,” may I follow your example, Mary, and find
assurance in your Son.
Mary, O Precious Mother Mary, comfort me from the foot
of the Cross.
Mary of the Infant Jesus
Mary, Mother of the infant Jesus, grant me a spirit of
authentic love.
In the stable of Bethlehem, Jesus was born.
You were rejected, refused, and even scornfully turned away
from lodgings.
How lonely it must have felt?
How abandoned you and Joseph must have been during the
severe, cold weather?
Yet you were in peace and filled with the spirit of love as
you gave birth to the infant Savior amidst His creatures
and His shepherds.
In among the poorest of the poor, you, O blessed Mother,
found the treasure of all treasures.
Deprived of much, you found all!
