THE THREE SACRED HEARTS

FIRST FRIDAY:

1. The first Friday of each month was designated by Jesus himself as consecrated to honoring his Sacred Heart, to increase our love for Him in Holy Communion by receiving Our Lord Jesus Christ on first Friday and to make reparation for past and present offenses against His love. Those that keep the first Friday devotion receive 12 promises. 

FIRST SATURDAY:

2. “See, my daughter, My Heart surrounded with thorns with which ingrates pierce me at every moment with blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, make sure to console me and announce that all those who for five months, on the first Saturdays, go to confession, receive Communion, say five decades of the Rosary and keep me company for 15 minutes meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the purpose of making reparation to Me, I promise to assist them at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for the salvation of their souls." ~ Our of Lady of Fatima to Sister Lucia

FIRST WEDNESDAY:

3. Wednesdays are dedicated to Saint Joseph, but especially the first Wednesday of the month where you can offer your Holy Communion to his Most Chaste Heart that he would continue to intercede and protect you and your family.

Catholic Prayer Against the Devils Retaliation

Prayer Against the Devils Retaliation

Introduction

The more we strive to be in union with God, the angrier the devil becomes.

Every time we choose humility over pride, the demons fume.

Despair is an opening for demonic forces because it causes us to doubt God’s mercy.

Our Father said to St Catherine of Siena:

“So the despair of Judas displeased me more and was a greater insult to my Son than his betrayal had been. Therefore, such as these are reproved for this false judgement of considering their sins to be greater than my mercy, and for this they are punished with the demons and tortured eternally with them.”

The prayer against retaliation serves as a reminder to the demons, but also to ourselves, that we have powerful intercessors on our side.

Catholic Prayer Against Retaliation

Lord Jesus Christ, in your love and mercy, pour Thy Precious Blood over me so that no demon or disembodied spirit may retaliate against me.

Mary, surround me with thy mantle, blocking any retaliating spirits from having any authority over me.

St. Michael, surround me with thy shield, so that no evil spirit may take revenge on me.

Queen of Heaven and St. Michael, send down the legions of angels under your command to fight off any spirits that would seek to harm me.

All you saints of heaven, impede any retaliating spirit from influencing me.

Lord, Thou are the Just Judge, the avenger of the wicked, the Advocate of the Just, we beg in Thy mercy, that all we ask of Mary, the angels and the saints of heaven be also granted to all our loved ones, those who pray for us and their loved ones, that for Thy Glory’s sake, we may enjoy Thy perfect protection.

Amen.

Read here about Saint Lawrence of Rome, the patron saint of many causes

Saint Lawrence of Rome
(d. 258 A.D.) was likely a Spaniard by birth who lived in Rome while Christianity was outlawed under pain of death.
He was appointed by Pope St. Sixtus II as archdeacon over the seven deacons of Rome, and held the sacred duty of tending to the Church's wealth and distributing alms to the poor.
After Pope St. Sixtus II was beheaded by Roman Emperor Valerian, along with the six other deacons, Lawrence was left as the highest-ranking clergy in Rome.
He was ordered by the Roman authorities to appear before the tribunal—a summons to his execution—along with the treasures of the Church that were in his possession.
St. Lawrence then quickly distributed the Church's wealth to the poor so that the government could not confiscate it.
On the appointed day, August 10th, Lawrence responded to the summons by bringing with him a multitude of the poor and crippled of Rome; these he proclaimed to be the true treasure of the Church. This angered the authorities so greatly that Lawrence was ordered to be burned alive on a gridiron.
He was bound to the metal grate and slowly roasted to death over hot coals. During his torture Lawrence famously mocked his torturers by saying, "I am done on this side, turn me over." St. Lawrence is the patron saint of many causes including cooks, chefs, comedians, deacons, librarians, students, and the poor. His feast day is August 10th.

Hail Mary

A Roman Catholic prayer to the Virgin Mary that consists of salutations and a plea for her intercession.

The Hail Mary (Latin: Ave Maria) is a traditional Scripture-based Catholic prayer of praise for and petition to the Mother of God. Since the sixteenth century, the Roman Catholic version of the prayer closes with an appeal for her intercession.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace,

The LORD is with you,

Blessed are you among women,

Blessed is the Fruit of your Womb, JESUS.

Holy Mary, Mother of GOD,

Pray for us Sinners,

Now and at the time of our death, Amen.

The EMERGENCY Novena OF MOTHER TERESA TO OUR LADY

Memorare

 Memorare is a Roman Catholic prayer seeking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Memorare, from the Latin "Remember", is frequently misattributed to the 12th-century Cistercian monk Saint Bernard ... Wikipedia


Do you ever feel like you could use some help approaching God in your prayers?


The Memorare is a prayer that reminds us that we have a wonderful advocate and protector in the mother of our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Father Claude Bernard (1588-1641) popularized the Memorare prayer after it miraculously cured a deathly illness he was suffering from. He proceeded to share the Memorare with others and had over 200,000 leaflets printed with the prayer in various languages.

Memorare Novena Prayers
Pray this prayer nine times.Add 1 time for Thanksgiving. 10 times all in all.

Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help,
or sought your intercession was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto you,
O Virgin of virgins,
my Mother.

To you I come,
before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your clemency hear and answer me.

Amen.
