MORNING PRAYER AND THE IMPORTANCE OF CATHOLIC PRAYERS

A morning offering is a good start . I like this one ;

“God of my life I welcome this new day. It is your gift by me, a new creation,a promise of resurrection .I thank you for the grace of being alive this morning .I thank you for the sleep that has refreshed me. I thank you for the chance to make a new beginning.
This day is full of promise and opportunity , let me waste none of it .This day is full of mystery and the unknown ,help me to face it without fear or anxiety .
During this day keep me thoughtful, prayerful and kind.
May I be courteous and helpful to others and not turned in on myself . Keep me from any word or deed that would hurt or destroy or belittle, and may the thoughts of my mind be pleasing in your sight. When night comes again may I look back on this day with no grief or bitterness in my heart and may nobody be unhappy because of anything I have done, or anything I have failed to do .
Lord Jesus , friend and brother, may I know you more clearly , follow you more nearly and love you more dearly day by day. Amen.”
The Our Father was taught to us by Jesus, Himself, and is the perfect prayer. The Hail Mary is the Angel Gabriel’s greeting to Mary  when he came to tell her that she was to be the Mother of God.
The Holy Mary was composed by The Church. 
The Glory be..  honours the Trinity and we begin and end everything in the Name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit .
I hope this is helpful . As the priest said at your Baptism,” The Christian community welcomes you with great joy.” 🙏

What To Do When We Are Unable To Go To Mass At This Time Of Crisis?

During a time when most celebrations of Mass have been suspended worldwide to combat the spread of the Corona Virus, Pope Francis, last Friday, offered his Mass for those who are sick, those who care for the sick, and all those who are affected by the coronavirus. In his homily, he addressed those who are unable to receive Communion or the Sacrament of Confession in the midst of coronavirus-cancelled Mass.

“Many will say to me today: ‘But, Father, where can I find a priest, a confessor, because one can’t leave home? And I want to make peace with the Lord, I want Him to embrace me. What can I do if I can’t find priests?'”

The Holy Father told the Faithful to follow the Catechism and confess your sins to God.

“Do what the Catechism says. it’s very clear: if you don’t find a priest to hear your Confession, talk with God, He is your Father, and tell Him the truth: ‘Lord, I’ve done this, and that, and that – I’m sorry,’ and ask Him for forgiveness with all your heart, with the Act of Contrition and promise Him: ‘Afterwards I will go to Confession, but forgive me now.'”

For unable to receive the Eucharist, Pope Francis’ offered the Faithful a prayer for spiritual communion:

“My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar. I prostrate myself at your feet, O my Jesus, and I offer you the repentance of my heart, which abases itself in its nothingness and in your Holy Presence. I adore You in the Sacrament of your Love; I desire to receive You in the poor abode that my heart offers You. While awaiting the happiness of Sacramental Communion, I wish to possess you in spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, that I may come to You. May your Love inflame my whole being in life and in death. Jesus, I believe in You, I hope in You, I love You.”

MIRACULOUS PRAYER TO THE GLORIOUS ST JOSEPH

THE GLORIOUS ST JOSEPH

Feastday: March 19th & May 1st
Patron: of the Universal Church, unborn children, fathers, workers, travelers, immigrants, and a happy death

St. Joseph was the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the foster-father of Jesus. Holy Scripture proclaims him as a "just man," and the Church has turned to Joseph for his patronage and protection. Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Quamquam Pluries (On the Devotion to St. Joseph) in 1889 explains why we place so much trust in this saint: The Church encourages us to be devoted to Joseph because he was a model in the heroic practice of all the virtues. The example of virtuous living that he gave in the exact fulfillment of the duties of his state of life is worthy of our reflection. Read the gospel and you will see his faith, hope and charity practiced under trying circumstances. He was prudent in caring for his wife and the child; he showed great leadership in protecting them and assisting them. He was religious in every sense, with that delicacy and sincerity of conscience that is proper to the saints of God. He was just in his dealings with God and man. He was conspicuous for his fortitude and courage. He was truly outstanding in the practice of virginal chastity.

The circumstances of Joseph's death are not known, but it is likely that he died before Jesus's ministry began, and it is implied that he was dead before the Crucifixion (John 19:26-27).

PRAYERS TO SAINT JOSEPH

Prayer 1:
O Blessed Saint Joseph, faithful guardian and protector of virgins, to whom God entrusted Jesus and Mary, I implore you by the love which you did bear them, to preserve me from every defilement of soul and body, that I may always serve them in holiness and purity of love. Amen.

Prayer For Special Favor:
Glorious Saint Joseph, foster-father and protector of Jesus Christ, to you I raise my heart and my hands to implore your powerful intercession. Please obtain for me from the kind Heart of Jesus the help and the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I ask particularly for the grace of a happy death and the special favor I now implore.
(Make your petition here...)
Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I feel animated with confidence that your prayers in my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. O glorious Saint Joseph, through the love you bear to Jesus Christ, and for the glory of His name, hear my prayers and obtain my petitions.

To St. Joseph for Protection

Gracious St. Joseph, protect me and my family from all evil as you did the Holy Family. Kindly keep us ever united in the love of Christ, ever fervent in imitation of the virtue of our Blessed Lady, your sinless spouse, and always faithful in devotion to you. Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph by Pope St. Pius X

Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my inclinations; to gratefully and joyously deem it an honor to employ and to develop by labor the gifts I have received from God, to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty to work; above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes death and the account I have to render of time lost, talents unused, good not done, and vain complacency in success, so baneful to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee, O patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be my motto for life and eternity.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle,
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits
who wander the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen

A Powerful Prayer for Spiritual Warfare Every Catholic Should Know

The Chaplet of St. Michael

Pope Pius IX approved the prayer in 1851 after St. Michael the Archangel appeared to Portuguese Carmelite nun Antónia d’Astónaco.

The prayer invokes St. Michael, the archangels, and the nine choirs of angels.

St. Michael promised that he would grant an “escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs when receiving Holy Communion” to the person who prays this chaplet.

He also promised that the person reciting the chaplet daily receives “continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life, and after death, deliverance from purgatory for themselves and their relations.”

Here’s how to pray the Chaplet of St. Michael:

O God, come to my assistance.
O Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory be to the Father, etc.

1) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Seraphim, may the Lord make us worthy to burn with the fire of perfect charity.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

2) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Cherubim, may the Lord grant us the grace to leave the ways of sin and run in the paths of Christian perfection.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

3) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Thrones, may the Lord infuse into our hearts a true and sincere spirit of humility.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

4) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Dominations, may the Lord give us grace to govern our senses and overcome any unruly passions.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

5) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Virtues, may the Lord preserve us from evil and falling into temptation.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

6) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Powers, may the Lord protect our souls against the snares and temptations of the devil.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

7) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Principalities, may God fill our souls with a true spirit of obedience.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

8) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Archangels, may the Lord give us perseverance in faith and in all good works in order that we may attain the glory of Heaven.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

9) By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Angels, may the Lord grant us to be protected by them in this mortal life and conducted in the life to come to Heaven.

Our Father…
Hail Mary… (3 times)

Say four Our Fathers honoring Sts. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and your Guardian Angel (one Our Father for each angel.)

Concluding prayers:

O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,
guardian of souls,
vanquisher of rebel spirits,
servant in the house of the Divine King
and our admirable conductor,
you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue
deliver us from all evil,
who turn to you with confidence
and enable us by your gracious protection
to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ,
that we may be made worthy of His promises.

Almighty and Everlasting God,
Who, by a prodigy of goodness
and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men,
has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael,
Prince of Your Church, make us worthy,
we ask You, to be delivered from all our enemies,
that none of them may harass us at the hour of death,
but that we may be conducted by him into Your Presence.
This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

The Supernatural Story of Castel Sant’Angelo

Let us turn to St. Michael the Archangel in defeating the coronavirus pandemic!

The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as Castel Sant'Angelo, is a towering cylindrical building in Parco Adriano, Rome, Italy. It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The building was later used by the popes as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum. Wikipedia

Located in: Adrian Park

Address: Lungotevere Castello, 50, 00193 Roma RM, Italy

Construction started: 135 AD

Height: 48 m

Opened: 139 AD

Architectural style: Ancient Roman architecture

When St. Michael Miraculously Saved Rome From a Deadly Plague 

Here is the miraculous story about the Castel Sant’Angelo

The Castel Sant’Angelo is a large fortress near Vatican City with a gigantic St. Michael the Archangel statue on top. This statue signifies a magnificent story of God’s love and care for his people through the angels.

Around 590 A.D., Rome suffered a terrible plague causing many deaths. Pope St. Gregory the Great plead for the angels’ help to fight this epidemic. The pontiff celebrated Masses and tirelessly processed through Rome with prayers and incense.

St. Michael later appeared on top of the castle with his sword.

In the book The Golden Legend: Readings on the Saints, author Jacobus de Voragine writes:

“The plague was still ravaging Rome, and Gregory ordered the procession to continue to make the circuit of the city, the marchers chanting litanies. An image of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin was carried in the procession.”

“And lo and behold! The poisonous uncleanness of the air yielded to the image as if fleeing from it and being unable to withstand its presence: the passage of the picture brought about a wonderful serenity and purity in the air. We are also told that the voices of the angels were heard around the image, singing…”

“Then the pope saw an angel of the Lord standing atop the castle of Crescentius, wiping a bloody sword and sheathing it. Gregory understood that that put an end to the plague, as, indeed, happened. Thereafter the castle was called the Castle of the Holy Angel.”

Pope St. Gregory the Great then built the St. Michael statue on top of the castle, representing his protection over Rome and the Church.

Let us turn to St. Michael the Archangel in defeating the coronavirus pandemic!

St. Michael the Archangel, please defend us in this day of battle!

Awesome Infographic Of Washing Hands The Catholic Way

Awesome way of washing hands in the Catholic way!

Cure the Coronavirus: Prayer to Saint Rosalie

How can we end the world’s coronavirus outbreak? This saint might be the answer. Saint Rosalie miraculously cured plagues. 

Below is the incredible story, as well as prayer invoking her powerful intercession.

Saint Rosalie

 The Church knows little about St. Rosalie‘s life. Her story begins 500 years after her death.

In 1625, the city of Palermo in Sicily, Italy suffered a terrible plague. She appeared to a hunter, telling him to find her remains in a cave. She asked him to bring her remains into the city, citizens processed three times with her relics through Palermo. The plague then miraculously ended.

St. Rosalie became the patroness of Palermo. A sanctuary stands where the hunter found her remains.

Prayer To Saint Rosalie

“Father in heaven, we thank You for the communion of saints so that we can draw near to You through the prayers of St. Rosalie. Through her prayers, help us to remember that our destiny is heaven.

As St. Rosalie gave up all things in this world for the sake of Your Kingdom, through her prayers, may we love more fully Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who together with You and the Holy Spirit are one God forever and ever. Amen.

O God, our Father, mercifully look upon Your people who come to You and grant through the intercession of St. Rosalie, who turned away from earthly delights to the joys of contemplation, that we may be delivered from all harm here on earth and one day be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven.

St. Rosalie, confessor and virgin, we pray to God for our families and friends. Through your powerful prayers, may we obtain health, life, and eternal salvation.

Saint Rosalie,please pray for us and protect us from all diseases!

Cure the Coronavirus: Prayer For Help to Saint Roch

How can we end the world’s coronavirus outbreak? This saint might be the answer. Saint Roch miraculously cured plagues. 

Below is the incredible story, as well as prayer invoking his powerful intercession.

St. Roch

Born of a noble family, tradition says St. Roch was miraculously born with a red cross on his breast.

St. Roch gave all of his fortune to the poor at age 20 after his parents died. In 1315, he assisted plague victims in several Italian cities, miraculously curing people with the sign of the cross. While helping the sick, he also contracted the disease.

However, the saint survived after a dog helped him in the forest. The dog brought him food and licked his wounds. He was later mistaken for a spy and spent the rest of his life in prison.

According to tradition, an angel appeared in St. Roch’s cell after his death. The angel said that those who invoked his intercession would be cured of the plague.

Prayer To Saint Roch

O Blessed Saint Roch,
Patron of the sick,
Have pity on those
Who lie upon a bed of suffering.

Your power was so great
When you were in this world,
That by the sign of the Cross,
Many were healed of their diseases.

Now that you are in heaven,
Your power is not less.
Offer, then, to God
Our sighs and tears
And obtain for us that health we seek
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen. 

(Repeat the following 3 times)
Saint Roch, pray for us,
That we may be preserved
From all diseases of body and soul.

Saint Roch,please pray for us and protect us from all diseases!

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL (Recite Daily)

In the Gospel, Jesus always talks about the devil and driving out demons. He warns that after an unclean spirit comes out of someone, it tries to return to the victim, bringing back "seven other spirits more wicked than itself (Luke 11:15)." In our daily battle against evil spirits, we should frequently invoke the aid of St. Michael the Archangel, whose name means, “one who is like God.”

St. Michael the Archangel led the army of angels who cast Satan and the rebellious angels into Hell. He is known as the Prince of the Angels, the most powerful amongst all the angels.  We should always pray for the protection of the most powerful St. Michael the Archangel!

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL (Recite Daily)

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

What To Do To Be Sure Of Heaven After Death

Q: I want to be sure I go to heaven when I die. What exactly should I do?

A: A short biblical answer to your question is supplied by Peter in Acts. Having heard a sermon that he
preached on Pentecost, many were struck to the heart and cried out what shall we do?  Peter replied, repent
and be baptized every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
But this is not simply to be understood is a ritualistic observance that we fulfill on one day, but is meant to
usher in a whole renewal of the human person.  And thus we ought to look at all three things that Peter
indicates in some more detail..

The word translated as “repent” is Metanoia which means more than to clean up our act. It means to come
to a whole new mind, rooted in what God teaches and reveals, with new priorities and able to make better
decisions.

To be baptized, is not only to be cleansed of our sins but also to see our old self put to death, and for Christ
to come alive in us. Baptism ushers in the beginnings of a lifelong healing process that must continue by God's grace.  Baptism also points to all the sacraments of the Church. For, having been brought to new life,
we must also be fed by the Eucharist and by God's word, we must see the wounds of sins healed in confession, we must be strengthened for a mission by confirmation.  Baptism also makes us a member of the body of Christ. And thus, we are called to walk in fellowship with all the members of Christ’s one body,
The Church.

St. Peter also speaks of receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. And thus we are taught that our dignity is to be swept up into the life, love, and wisdom of God.  We are called to be sanctified by the Holy Spirit to see sins put to death and many virtues come alive.

Finally, something needs to be said about your use of the word "exactly" which might imply there is some very simple formula for getting saved.  But as can be seen, there are many dimensions to the work of God in saving us. Thus, we are to walk in a loving covenant relationship with the Lord and His body the
Church.  And like any relationship, this cannot simply be reduced to a few things.  We must trust the Lord,and walk in a relationship of love and obedience to him. We are to do this in fellowship with His Church,through the grace of the Sacraments, obedience to the Word of God, and prayer (cf Acts 2:42).

Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje Regarding Prayer

One of the main messages of Our Lady in Medjugorje
is the importance of daily prayer, especially the Holy Rosary. On February 25, 1989, Our Lady said: “Little children, do not be afraid. If you pray, Satan cannot injure you, not even a little, because you are God's children and He is watching over you. Pray, and let the Rosary always be in your hands as a sign to Satan that you belong to me."

On July 21, 1982, Our Lady said: “…Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars one can suspend the laws of nature...” No problem cannot be solved without prayer! Our Lady promised on March 28, 1985: “...In prayer you shall find . . . the way out of every situation that has no exit...”

On March 20, 1986, Our Lady said: “...Today I call you to approach prayer actively... Prayer will be your joy. If you make a start, it won't be boring to you because you will be praying out of joy...”

October 2, 1986, Our Lady said:“...You, dear children, are not able to understand how great the value of prayer is as long as you yourselves do not say: ‘now is the time for prayer, now nothing else is important to me, now not one person is important to me but God.’  Dear children, consecrate yourselves to prayer with a special love so that God will be able to render graces back to you...”

ST. AUGUSTINE'S PRAYER TO THE HOLY ANGELS

ST. AUGUSTINE'S PRAYER TO THE HOLY ANGELS

O God, be propitious to me and guard me all the days of my life! be merciful unto me, and send to my aid thine Archangel, St Michael, that he may defend me against my enemies.

Holy Archangel, St Michael, protect me against all dangers, that I may not perish on the day of judgment.

By the grace thou hast merited, and through Our Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, I beseech thee to deliver me from the perils of death.

St Gabriel, St Raphael, Holy Angels and Archangels, come to my aid. Virtues of heaven, be my help and my strength, that no enemy may be able to injure me either by water or by fire, or while journeying;

protect me from a sudden and unprovided death, and grant that, sleeping or waking, I may be freed from all danger.

Amen.
