<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000; background-color: #eeeeee;"><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day One</strong></span> <br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The Eternal Word became man..</strong></span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: times new roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000; background-color: #eeeeee;">.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks for becoming incarnate, for adopting our human nature to ennoble and restore it. In the Creation of the universe Thou manifested Thine immense power, but now it is all the tenderness of Thy mercy that Thou displayed in the redemption of fallen humanity. Thou became a man, sub-ject to infirmities. Thou became our brother to lead us back to our Father. Only Thine infinite Love could have inspired Thee to invent such loving follies.<br/>.<br/>O little Child Jesus, how can I make myself worthy of such a wonder of love and self-abasement? I, a vile sinner, seek to rise above everyone, whereas Thou annihilated Thineself to the point of taking the last place! Enough, O my God! I want to follow Thee on the way of Thine humiliations by my loving acceptance of all the occasions in which this last place will be offered to me by Thine divine Providence. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/>.<br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day Two</strong></span><br/>The Eternal Word was great and made Himself a little Child.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks for hiding the greatness of Thine Divinity beneath the appearance of a little Child. As the Prince of Peace, Thou came to effect the mediation between sinful man and an offended God. Thou made Thyself little to attract our hearts. Thou obeyed in order to atone. Fragile swaddling clothes imprisoned Thine almighty power, to clearly show that it is by the power of Thine obedience that Thou accomplish the salvation of the world.<br/>.<br/>O my dear little Child, I want to imitate Thee and become a child in my turn, since it is on this condition alone that I can be pleasing to Thee and enter into Thine Kingdom. Wrap up my rebellious will in the swaddling clothes of Thine divine Will, for I am resolved to conform my desires to Thine like a docile little child. By the merits of Thine holy childhood, may Thine holy Will henceforth be the rule of all my desires and all my actions. Amen.<br/>..<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/>.<br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day Three</strong></span> <br/>The Eternal Word was mighty and made Himself weak.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks for becoming weak for my love. Thou, the mighty God, wanted to experience all the frailty of our human nature. Thou slept in a stable, Thou weeped, Thou are cold. Thou felt all our infirmities, not only in Bethlehem, but throughout Thine entire life; they will change as Thy grow older, but they will remain Thine inseparable companions until death.<br/>.<br/>O divine Child of Bethlehem, eternity will not suffice for me to thank Thee for taking every human weakness upon Thyself. By acting in this manner, Thou opened the way for me. Thou showed me that despite my own weaknesses, I can attain the sanctity that Thou expect of me. Thine example teaches me: I learn to mistrust myself and my incapacity in order to count solely on the help of the One who strengthens me and in whom I can do all things. Grant me, O Jesus, the grace to be very little in my own eyes and to place my trust in Thee alone. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/>.<br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day Four</strong></span> <br/>The Eternal Word was rich and made Himself poor.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks for embracing poverty with all its consequences for love of men. Thou come down from heaven to rest upon a bit of straw. Thou exchange the company of Angels for that of two animals. Thou enkindle the Seraphim, yet Thou shiver in the cold. Thou hold up the heavens, yet Thou must be carried in -others’ arms. Thou give nourishment to all that breathes, yet a little milk is needed to maintain Thine life. You make the Saints happy, yet Thou weep. O my God, how Thine examples preach to me! In them I discover the beauty of true poverty, which consists in despising all that is perishable in order to relish that which is eternal.<br/>.<br/>O little Jesus, veritable Poor Child of Bethlehem, I want to renounce everything in order to find Thee. Detach my heart from the earth by all the means Thou will see fit, for I want Thee to be the unique treasure of my soul here on earth. O Jesus, Eternal Wisdom, be truly my God and my All. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/>.<br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day Five</strong></span><br/>The Eternal Word was sublime and made Himself lowly.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks for repairing the disobedience of man by the power of Thine humility. Without availing Thyself of Thine equality with God, Thou went from the throne of Thine glory to the lowliness of a poor manger. Thou became an unknown for this world which Thou were going to redeem. What a lesson Thou give our hearts so avid for -vainglory!<br/>.<br/>O divine Child! It is by Thine humility that Thou want to be recognized. Thine examples make contempt and humiliation lovable and of infinite value. My duty and my treasure is to love them, just as Thou loved them. Had I loved Thee, humiliation would have seemed sweet and pleasant to me. But since Thou promise to forgive a contrite heart, I am sorry for my life so contrary to Thine. I want to amend myself, and out of love for the humiliations of Thine manger, I promise Thee to suffer in peace all the contempt, humiliations and rebuffs to which it shall please Thee to subject me. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/>.<br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day Six</strong></span> <br/>The Eternal Word was the master and made Himself the servant.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks because Thou, being the King of kings, lowered Thyself to the point of taking the condition of a slave. With this wonder of Thine love, Thou released us from the devil’s yoke. Thou destroyed his empire by confounding the spirit of insubordination which is its foundation. To pride and disobedience, Thy opposed profound humility and total submission, making Thyself the servant of all.<br/>.<br/>O Monarch of the world, Thou became a slave for love of me! I am deeply confounded at the thought of Thine manger, the eternal monument of Thine humiliations. I am ashamed at the thought of my pride, the memory of my follies and my ingratitude. I acknowledge my sin and am sorry for it. Thine infinite merits, O my Saviour, enliven my hope. I await my pardon from Thine inexhaustible goodness, which will not allow Thee to despise a contrite and humbled heart. Take the chains of Thine love, put them on my hands and feet; may I never be able to break them nor make any move-ment contrary to Thine Will. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/>.<br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day Seven</strong></span> <br/>The Eternal Word was happy and made Himself suffer.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks for wanting to incarnate in order to suffer. Thou could have redeemed us without any suffering, but what suited Thine justice did not suit Thy immense love. Infinitely happy with Thine Father, Thou became a man of sorrows acquainted with suffering. As of the cradle, Thou embraced all the sorrows and hardships of our exile. Thou were the first to drink the remedy intended to heal our souls made sick by sin.<br/>.<br/>O divine Child, the heart that loves desires to share everything with its beloved. I therefore declare to Thee that I want to be Thine disciple, take up my cross each day behind Thee. I would rather suffer close to Thee than have pleasure far from Thee. And if my soul is sometimes weighed down by sorrow, I will draw strength, courage and peace from Thy example. O little Child Jesus of the Manger, I accept to -suffer and to be scorned in order to resemble Thee. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/>.<br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Day Eight</strong></span> <br/>The Eternal Word was innocent and made Himself guilty.<br/>.<br/>O sweet Jesus, Eternal Word made flesh, I give Thee thanks for bringing salvation to the world by clothing Thuneself with the guilt of sin. I see Thee in Thine poor stable, condemned to all the sufferings deserved by sinners. In contemplating the abjection to which Thine love for me has reduced Thee, I acknowledge that I am guilty before Thee and before men. I am alarmed by the number and gravity of my sins, and by my incapacity to pay for them. For this reason, O Holy Child Jesus, I ask Thine divine -Mother to take me in Her arms and offer me with Thee to the Eternal Father. Thou paid for me. Thou intercede for me. Thou have done my penance. That is why Thou suffered, why Thou carried the cross. I want to repair my sins by accepting each one of Thine purifying interventions in my life.<br/>.<br/>O Jesus, Redeemer of the world, and many times Redeemer of my soul, I surrender, Thou have loved me too much! Make me a prisoner of Thine love, so that until my dying breath I may love Thee even more than I have offended Thee. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>Glory be to the Father…</span></div>

In the manger, Thou give Thineself to abide in each one of Thine disciples as an interior Teacher who explains His lessons, makes them enjoyable and communicates the strength to practice them. Thou came down on earth to speak with man, become his brother and give YmThineself entirely to him.<br/>What am I to do, O my lovable Child, in the presence of the excess of Thine gift? I want to give myself in my turn and give Thee love for love. I place my will in Thine hands, since it is the unique obstacle between Thee and me. I do not want Thou to have called me in vain. Behold my heart, my body, my soul, my life, my death; I bring Thee everything. I offer it to Thee by the most pure hands of Thine divine Mother, who is also my Mother, and by the hands of Saint Joseph, Thine foster Father and my protector. Receive everything, keep everything until the day of eternity, when I will no longer be able to lose Thee, but will rejoice eternally over having given myself to Thee. Amen.<br/>.<br/>Invocation<br/>.<br/>O divine Child Jesus, who for the salvation of the world wanted to be born in a stable, lying on straw in the manger, have mercy on me.<br/>.<br/>Mary and Joseph,<br/>pray to the Child Jesus for me.<br/>.<br/>Glory be to the Father…<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></span></div>

These Prelates having thought that there was an incongruity in the ancient practice of celebrating the feast of the Annunciation on the twenty-fifth of March, inasmuch as this joyful solemnity frequently occurs at the time when the Church is intent upon the Passion of Our Lord, and is sometimes obliged to be transferred into Easter Time, with which it is out of harmony for another reason—they decreed that, henceforth, in the Church of Spain there should be kept, eight days before Christmas, a solemn feast with an Octave, in honor of the Annunciation, and as a preparation for the great solemnity of Our Lord’s Nativity. In the course of time, however, the Church of Spain saw the necessity of returning to the practice of the Church of Rome, and of those of the whole world, which solemnize the twenty-fifth of March as the day of Our Lady’s Annunciation and the Incarnation of the Son of God. But such had been, for ages, the devotion of the people for the feast of the eighteenth of December, that it was considered requisite to maintain some vestige of it. They discontinued, therefore, to celebrate the Annunciation on this day; but the faithful were requested to consider, with devotion, what must have been the sentiments of the Holy Mother of God during the days immediately preceding her giving him birth. A new feast was instituted, under the name of the Expectation of the Blessed Virgin’s Delivery.<br/> <br/> This feast, which sometimes goes under the name of Our Lady of O, or the Feast of O, on account of the Great Antiphons which are sung during these days, and, in a special manner, of that which begins O Virgo Virginum (which is still used in the Vespers of the Expectation, together with the O Adonai, the Antiphon of the Advent Office) is kept with great devotion in Spain. A High Mass is sung, at a very early hour, each morning during the Octave, at which all who are with child, whether rich or poor, consider it a duty to assist, that they may thus honor Our Lady’s Maternity, and beg her blessing upon themselves. It is not to be wondered at that the Holy See has approved of this pious practice being introduced into almost every other country. We find that the Church of Milan, long before Rome conceded this feast to the various dioceses of Christendom, celebrated the Office of Our Lady’s Annunciation on the sixth and last Sunday of Advent, and called the whole week following the Hebdomada de Exceptato (for thus the popular expression had corrupted the word Expectato). But these details belong strictly to the archaeology of the Liturgy, and enter not into the plan of our present work; let us, then, return to the feast of Our Lady’s Expectation, which the Church has established and sanctioned as a new means of exciting the attention of the faithful during these last days of Advent.<br/> <br/> Most just indeed it is, O Holy Mother of God, that we should unite in that ardent desire thou hadst to see Him, who had been concealed for nine months in thy chaste womb; to know the features of this Son of the heavenly Father, who is also thine; to come to that blissful hour of His Birth, which will give Glory to God in the highest, and, on earth, Peace to men of good will. Yes, dear Mother, the time is fast approaching, though not fast enough to satisfy thy desires and ours. Make us redouble our attention to the great mystery; complete our preparation by thy powerful prayers for us, that when the solemn hour is come, our Jesus may find no obstacle to his entering into our hearts.</span></div>

Against Pride</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">Lord Jesus Christ, Pattern of humility, who didst empty Thyself of Thy glory, and take upon Thee the form of a servant: root out of us all pride and conceit of heart, that, owning ourselves miserable and guilty sinners, we may willingly bear contempt and reproaches for Thy sake, and, glorying in nothing but Thee, may esteem ourselves lowly in Thy sight. Not unto us, O Lord, but to Thy name be the praise, for Thy loving mercy and for Thy truth's sake. Amen.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">2. Against Covetousness</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">O Lord Jesus Christ, who though Thou wast rich yet for our sakes didst become poor, grant that all over-eagerness and covetousuess of earthly goods may die in us, and the desire of heavenly things may live and grow in us: keep us from all idle and vain expenditures, that we may always have to give to him that needeth, and that giving not grudgingly nor of necessity, but cheerfully, we may be loved of Thee, and be made through Thy merits partakers of the riches of Thy heavenly treasure. Amen.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">3. Against Lust</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">O Lord Jesus Christ, Guardian of chaste souls, and lover of purity, who wast pleased to take our nature and to be born of an Immaculate Virgin: mercifully look upon my infirmity. Create in me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me; help me to drive away all evil thoughts, to conquer every sinful desire, and so pierce my flesh with the fear of Thee that, this worst enemy being overcome, I may serve Thee with a chaste body and please Thee with a pure heart. Amen.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">4. Against Anger</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">O most meek Jesus, Prince of Peace, who, when Thou wast reviled, reviled not, and on the Cross didst pray for Thy murderers: implant in our hearts the virtues of gentleness and patience, that, restraining the fierceness of anger, impatience, and resentment, we may overcome evil with good, for Thy sake love our enemies, and as children of our heavenly Father seek Thy peace and evermore rejoice in Thy love. Amen.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">5. Against Gluttony</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">Lord Jesus Christ, Mirror of abstinence, who, to teach us the virtue of abstinence, didst fast forty days and forty nights, grant that, serving Thee and not our own appetites, we may live soberly and piously with contentment, without greediness, gluttony, or drunkenness, that Thy will being our meat and drink, we may hunger and thirst after justice, and finally obtain from Thee that food which eudureth unto life eternal. Amen.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">6. Against Envy</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">O Most loving Jesus, Pattern of charity, who makest all the commandments of the law to consist in love towards God and towards man, grant to us so to love Thee with all our heart, with all our mind, and all our soul, and our neighbor for Thy sake, that the grace of charity and brotherly love may dwell in us, and all envy, harshness, and ill-will may die in us; and fill our hearts with feelings of love, kindness, and compassion, so that by constantly rejoicing in the happiness and success of others, by sympathizing with them in their sorrows, and putting away all harsh judgments and envious thoughts, we may follow Thee, who art Thyself the true and perfect love. Amen.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">7. Against Sloth</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; color: #073763; background-color: #fce5cd;">Lord Jesus Christ, eternal Love, who in the garden didst pray so long and so fervently that Thy Sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground: put away from us, we beseech Thee, all sloth and inactivity both of body and mind; kindle within us the fire of Thy love; strengthen our weakness, that whatsoever our hand is able to do we may do it earnestly, and that, striving heartily to please Thee in this life, we may have Thee hereafter as our reward exceeding great. Amen.</span></p>

Thou seest, o Mother, how many dangers of soul and body, how many calamities and afflictions press upon us. </span></font></div>

<div><font size="4" style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #073763;">It is but too true that we, although thy children, are the first who crucify Jesus in our hearts and wound anew thy heart by our sins. We confess it, we deserve the severest chastisements; yet remember how thou didst receive, on the top of Golgotha, the last drops of that Divine blood, and the testament of our dying Redeemer. And this testament of a God, sealed with the blood of a Man-God, appointed thee our Mother, the Mother of sinners. Thus, as our Mother, thou art our Advocate and our Hope. To thee, amidst sighs, do we lift up our hands, crying for mercy! </span></font></div>

Pity, o Mother, we now implore thee for pity on the erring nations, on all Europe, on the whole world, that they may repair repentant to thy heart. Be merciful to all, o Mother of mercy. </span></font></div>

<div><font size="4" style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #073763;">What does it cost thee, o Mary, to hear us? What does it cost thee to save us? Did not Jesus entrust to thy hands all the treasures of His graces and mercies? Thou sittest as Queen at the right hand of thy Son, crowned with immortal glory, above all the choirs of angels. Thou extendest thy dominion as far as the heavens expand, the earth and all the creatures that people it are subject to thee. Thy power even reaches hell; and thou alone, O Mary, canst rescue us from the devil's grasp. Thou art almighty by grace, and therefore thou canst save us. Now if you sayest thou wilIest not help us because we are ungrateful children and unworthy of thy protection, tell us at least to whom shall we have recourse in order to be released from so many evils? Oh! No, thy maternal heart will never bear to see the ruin of thy children. The Divine Child we behold on thy knees, the mystical crown we admire in thy hand, both inspire us with hope that we will be heard. And full of confidence in thee, we throw ourselves at thy feet, we trust ourselves as feeble children into the arms of the tenderest amongst mothers and today, this very day, we expect from thee the graces we are longing for.</span></font></div>

<div><font size="4" style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #073763;">We now ask of thee, O Queen, a last favour which thou canst not refuse on this solemn day. Grant to all of us thy constant love and in a special manner thy maternal blessing. No, we will not leave thy feet today nor cease clasping thy knees till thou hast blessed us. Bless now, o Mary, the sovereign Pontiff: to the first laurels of thy crown, to the ancient trophies of the Rosary, whence thou art called Queen of victories, add also this one, o Mother, grant triumph to religion and peace to mankind. Bless our bishop, the priests and particularly those who promote the honour of thy Sanctuary; bless finally all those who are associated to thy new temple of Pompeii and who practice and spread devotion to thy most holy rosary . </span></font></div>

Mother dear, only refuge of sinners, supreme comforter of the afflicted, blessed be thy name, now and forever, on earth and in Heaven.</span></font></div>

Malachi Martin, a prolific Catholic author and Vatican insider, who read the Third Secret of Fatima, also made a series of important interviews</span> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://wordpress.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ea2da4ca63cd8ed8cba4ddc85&id=07f6591124&e=d4231906d1" style="color: #656565; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #336699;">about the Third Secret</span></a> <span style="color: #000000;">and its relation to the Church’s Crisis of Faith. In many of these conversations, Fr. Martin stressed his belief that, due to the illicit imposition of the new-rite of Sacraments in the Church, there has been a gradual, universal suppression of Sanctifying Grace, resulting in a great apostasy from the Faith. In closer analysis, Father’s emphatic assertion underlines the dire consequences which Sr. Lucia gravely warned about in</span> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://wordpress.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ea2da4ca63cd8ed8cba4ddc85&id=e7eaeb92a9&e=d4231906d1" style="color: #656565; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #336699;">her last interview</span></a><span style="color: #444444;">, j</span><span style="color: #000000;">ust before all the sacramental changes took place. Perhaps with Sister’s announcement of a “new efficacy" that Our Lady is giving to the Rosary, she was informing souls how Our Lady will use the Rosary as a source for the Sanctifying Graces lost from the imposed new-rite of Sacraments? With God, all things are possible. This could explain how most of those fortunate Catholics who make their way out of the murky waters of Conciliarism to the safe harbor of Tradition, almost always attribute this special grace to their great love for, and devotion to the Rosary. It is absolutely certain that Our Lady enlightens souls who are truly faithful to her Rosary, and guides them to the Church’s immemorial source of Sanctifying Grace - the traditional Sacraments.</span></span></span><br/> <br/> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;"><font face="lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif" style="font-family: Sans sans-serif;">Still, some object that there are souls who do not know how, or are simply unable, to gather their thoughts and meditate upon the mysteries. Ah, well! ...the simple gesture of taking their Rosary to pray shows that they are mindful of God, and when they recall, in each decade, an aspect in Christ’s life, they go over the mystery again in their mind, and this act will preserve in their souls the gentle light of the faith, and will keep the wick burning which would otherwise eventually go out.</font></span><br/> <br/> <span style="color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;"><font face="lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif" style="font-family: Sans sans-serif;">However, those who abandon the prayer of the Rosary, and who do not have the blessing of a daily traditional Mass or even frequent access to the traditional Sacraments, have nothing to feed their souls on. How could they not eventually lose their way, due to human frailty and the allurements of the world, the flesh and the devil? This is why it is so crucial for souls to remain faithful to praying their Rosary every day. Because it is especially through the Rosary that our Blessed Lady enlightens, guides and protects souls, so to ensure they keep the Faith in these days of great confusion. For within the Rosary is contained the entire wealth of God’s truths, as lived through the Immaculate Heart of His Mother.</font><br/> <br/> <font face="lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif" style="font-family: Sans sans-serif;">Such spiritual direction could also be found among the many saints who foresaw the great apostasy and confusing crisis of our times. Cardinal Sarto, the future Pope St. Pius X, taught nothing different to his diocesan faithful:</font><br/> <br/> <strong style="color: #000000; font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;">“The characteristic of our times is that indocility of mind which aims at the destruction of dogmas, and that corruption of the heart which leads to the subversion of Christian morals. There is only one way to defend faith and morals, and that is to meditate on the mysteries proposed by the Holy Rosary. For, if the world has forgotten even the vestiges of virtue, by contemplating the admirable examples put forward in the Rosary, we are better able to fight disordered passions within ourselves, we can rouse in our souls, along with a sincere regret for sin, a lively faith and a consoling hope, and we can help all the other virtues to blossom."</strong><br/> <br/> <font face="lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif" style="font-family: Sans sans-serif;">And, once again, the prophetic conviction of St. Louis de Montfort:</font><br/> <br/> <strong style="color: #000000; font-family: lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif;">“Believe me, my dear brother in the Rosary, if you want to arrive at a high degree of prayer without any affectation and without falling into the illusions of the devil so common to people of prayer, say your entire Rosary every day, if you can, or at least a chaplet. You have already reached this point by the grace of God, if you want to be faithful to it and to grow in it with humility. Keep saying the Holy Rosary, for a soul that prays its Rosary every day will never be formally heretical nor deceived by the demon; this is a proposition that I would sign with my blood.”</strong></span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>NINE TUESDAY PRAYER OF SUPPLICATION TO ST ANTHONY OF PADUA TO PRESENT OUR PETITIONS TO THE INFANT JESUS AT CHRISTMAStag:op54rosary.ning.com,2023-10-06:5691517:BlogPost:11485552023-10-06T20:30:00.000ZDawn Mariehttps://op54rosary.ning.com/profile/DawnMarie

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-style: italic;">This is the prodigious image venerated in Firenze, in the</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Ritiro</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">delle</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Ancille</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">of the Incarnation in Montalvo in</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Ripoli</span><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">O most faithful executor of the highest arcana of the Divinity, glorious Archangel Saint Gabriel, from your luminous seat in Heaven, turn a benign gaze upon us, your unworthy devotees, who turn to you in supplication for help, while anguish surrounds us on all sides.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Holy Archangel, do not deprive us of your protection in these calamitous times. We are convinced that by our sins we have irritated the justice of God, and we confess that the Most High can do nothing but scourge us. Our sins and those of the whole world, which far outnumber the sands of the sea, should by now have compelled the Lord to precipitate us into the abyss which He destines for His rebels; but since by His immense goodness we still live, hear us, O Holy Archangel, while from the depths of our misery, with the most intense feelings of compassion, we beseech Thee to obtain mercy for us.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Remember, O our most special Advocate, that we are children of that God who entrusted to you the embassy of the Virgin, that we are the price of that blood which was coined in Mary's womb as a consequence of your annunciation, and that we have been endowed with the charisms of that Spirit who concluded the work of the Incarnation. (Do not forget, moreover, the special protection of which we are the object, as a consequence of the wonders that, in the midst of this Community, God allowed you to work through this Image of yours, to which we genuflect and venerate obediently).</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">All this, then, commits you to pray for us, that the scourges we fear may depart from these lands of ours; that the infidels, heretics and all who conspire against Holy Religion may be converted; that all who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, because they are asleep in their sins, may be enlightened; and, finally, that iniquity may depart from all, and eternal justice may reign in all.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We confess that it would be an offense to you, O Holy Archangel, if we were to doubt for a single instant that you are here present to commend us to the Most High, and, groaning in this valley of tears, we place all our trust in your mediation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Make propitious to us the Blood of the Divine Lamb shed for our salvation. Make propitious for us the great Mother of God and our Mother, Mary Most Holy, because she is the Mother of sinners, and finally obtain for us to live in such a way as to always satisfy that God in whose hands our destiny is placed, to attain in your company the crown of glory. Amen.</span></p>

<div style="border: groove 1px darkolivegreen; background-color: white; padding: 10px;"><h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10912272275?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10912272275?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></span></h4>
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A Brief Summary</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times New Roman;">The Scapular is a habit — Our Lady’s habit. The Scapular must be worn over the shoulders in such a manner that one part hangs in front of the body and the other in back. Worn in any other way, it carries no indulgence or promise. It is not necessary to wear the Scapular next to the skin. Many Catholics may not know it is the wish of the Holy Father, the Pope, that the </span><i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times New Roman;">Scapular Medal </span></i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times New Roman;">should not be worn in place of the </span><i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times New Roman;">Cloth Scapular </span></i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times New Roman;">without sufficient reason. Mary cannot be pleased with anyone who substitutes the medal out of vanity, or out of fear of making open profession of faith. Such persons run the risk of not receiving the Promise. The medal has never been noted for any of the miraculous preservations attributed to the </span><i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times New Roman;">Brown Cloth Scapular.</span></i></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">May a non-Catholic wear the BROWN SCAPULAR? Yes, and in so doing, a non- Catholic will receive many graces and blessings with this special sign of devotion to the Mother of God. Although baptized Catholics are the only ones who can be officially enrolled in the Confraternity and share in the special Scapular privileges, non-Catholics are warmly encouraged to avail themselves of this special way of honoring Jesus’ Mother. By wearing the Scapular, we are dedicated to Our Blessed Mother in a special way and have a strong claim upon Her protection and intercession.</span></p>
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In Conclusion</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> What is the Scapular?<b><br/> A.</b> The Scapular is a small replica of the religious habit consisting of two pieces of wool connected by ribbons and worn under one’s clothes so that one piece hangs in front and the other in back. Along with the Rosary and the Miraculous Medal, the Scapular is one of the chief Marian sacramentals.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> And what is a sacramental?<b><br/> A.</b> A sacramental is anything set apart or blessed by the Church to excite good thoughts and to increase devotion, and through these movements of the heart, to remit venial sin.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> Is it the sacramental itself that gives grace?<b><br/> A.</b> No, it is not the sacramental itself that gives grace, but the devotion, the love of God, or sorrow for sin that it inspires. In using the sacramentals, the more devotion we have, the more grace we receive.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> What is the difference between sacraments and sacramentals?<b><br/> A.</b> The difference between the sacraments and the sacramentals is: 1st, the sacraments were instituted by Jesus Christ and the sacramentals were instituted by the Church; 2nd, the sacraments give grace of themselves when we place no obstacle in the way; the sacramentals excite in us pious dispositions, by means of which we may obtain grace.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> What are some of the other sacramentals besides the Scapular?<b><br/> A.</b> The sign of the Cross is the chief sacramental used in the Church, besides which we have holy water, blessed candles, ashes, palms, crucifixes, and images of the Blessed Virgin and of the saints, the Rosary, and Miraculous Medal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> Why do we call it a Scapular?<b><br/> A.</b> The word “Scapular” comes from the Latin word “scapulae” meaning “shoulders”. The Scapular is actually a miniature form of a monk’s habit by the same name which is a sleeveless outer garment falling from the shoulders to the feet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> Why do we wear the Scapular?<b><br/> A.</b> We wear the Scapular to indicate that we place ourselves under the special protection of the Blessed Virgin. We can tell to what army or nation a soldier belongs by the uniform he wears; so we can consider the Scapular as the particular uniform of those who desire to serve the Blessed Virgin in some special manner.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> May a non-Catholic wear the Scapular?<b><br/> A.</b> By all means — non-Catholics may wear the Scapular, and by so doing, will draw down upon their souls much actual grace from Heaven. Our Lady, as a good Mother will bring conversions to those who honor Her by wearing Her Scapular.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> Must the Scapular be blessed before wearing it?<b><br/> A.</b> The first Scapular to be worn must be blessed and imposed by a Priest using the formula contained in the Roman ritual for reception into the Confraternity of the Scapular.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> What are the words used by the priest when enrolling a person in the Brown Scapular?<b><br/> A.</b> The words used by the priest when enrolling a person in the Confraternity of the Scapular are as follows:</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Receive this blessed habit; praying the most holy Virgin, that by Her merits thou mayest wear it without stain; and that She may guard thee from all evil and bring thee to life everlasting. R. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">By the power granted me, I admit thee to the participation of all the spiritual good works, which through the gracious help of Jesus Christ are performed by the religious of Mount Carmel. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. R. Amen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">May the Creator of Heaven and earth, Almighty God, bless thee; Who hath deigned to unite thee to the confraternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. We beseech Her, in the hour of thy death, to crush the head of the old serpent; so that thou mayest in the end win the everlasting palm and crown of the heavenly inheritance. Through Christ Our Lord. R. Amen.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> Would there be a sin if one ceased to wear the Scapular after having received it?<b><br/> A.</b> No, it would not be a sin, but by so doing, one would lose all the benefits promised. If, having ceased to wear the Scapular, even for several years, one should decide to wear it once again, no new ceremony of imposition is necessary.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> After having received the initial Scapular from a priest do subsequent Scapulars need to be blessed?<b><br/> A.</b> No, subsequent Scapulars need not be blessed as the blessing and imposition are attached to the wearer for life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> What should be done with the Scapular when it is worn out?<b><br/> A.</b> The Scapular, being a sacred object, when it becomes worn out must be either buried or burned. It should not be disposed of in the regular garbage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> What is the Sabbatine Privilege?<b><br/> A.</b> The Sabbatine Privilege consists essentially in the early liberation from Purgatory through the special intercession of Mary, which She graciously exercises in favor of Her devoted servants.. . on the day consecrated to Her, Saturday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Q.</b> What are the requirements to make oneself eligible for the Sabbatine Privilege?<b><br/> A.</b> There are three conditions for the gaining of the Sabbatine Privilege. They are:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We must WEAR THE SCAPULAR.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;">OBSERVE CHASTITY according to our state in life.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;">RECITE THE LITTLE OFFICE OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER (The Rosary or some other pious work can be substituted for the Office of Our Lady. The faculty to sanction this change was granted to ALL CONFESSORS by Pope Leo XIII in the Decree of the Congregation of Indulgences in June of 1901).</span></li>
</ol>
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Promise of Our Lady</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Our Lady Herself has said, “Take this Scapular. Whosoever dies wearing it shall not suffer eternal fire. It shall be a sign of salvation, a protection in danger, and a pledge of peace.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Holy Virgin of Mount Carmel, Our Lady of the Scapular, pray for us!</span></p>

<h4><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">The First Apparition</span></span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">During the night of July 18-19, 1830, the Most Holy Virgin appeared for the first time to Saint Catherine Labouré, who had been awakened and led from the dormitory to the chapel by her guardian angel.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">In the sanctuary, Saint Catherine later wrote:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">“I heard something like the rustling of a silk dress, coming from the side of the tribune, close to Saint Joseph’s picture. She alighted on the steps of the altar on the Gospel side, in an arm chair like Saint Anne’s... As I looked up at Our Lady I flung myself close to her, falling on my knees on the altar steps, my hands resting in her knees. That was the sweetest moment of my life.”</span></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Let us pray</span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">O Most Holy Virgin, O my Mother, look on my soul with mercy, obtain for me a spirit of prayer that leads me always to have recourse to thee. Obtain for me the graces that I implore of thee and, above all, inspire me to pray for the graces that thou most wants to grant me.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Our Father....<br/> Hail Mary....<br/> Glory Be....<br/> O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!</span></span></p>

<br/>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">“The times are very evil, misfortunes are going to befall France, the throne will be overthrown, the whole world will be overwhelmed with misfortunes of every kind.” The Holy Virgin looked very distressed as she said this.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">“But come to the foot of this altar. Here graces will be bestowed on anyone, great or small, who asks for them with confidence and fervor... A moment will come of such great danger that all will seem lost.

<h4><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">The Cross will be despised</span></span></h4>
<p></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">“The Cross will be despised and hurled to the ground, blood will run in the streets, the Side of Our Lord will be opened again. The archbishop will be stripped of his garments.” Here the Holy Virgin, her face filled with sadness, could no longer speak. “My child, the whole world will be plunged in sorrow,” she said to me.</span></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Let us pray</span></span></h5>

<h4><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Mary crushes the head of the serpent</span></span></h4>
<br/>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">At 5:30 on the evening of November 27, 1830, as Saint Catherine was praying in the chapel, the Holy Virgin appeared to her for the second time, standing as high as Saint Joseph’s picture to the right of the main altar.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">“Her face was so beautiful that it would be impossible for me to describe it. Her robe was white as the glow of dawn... Her head was covered with a white veil that extended to her feet which rested on a half sphere, with her heel crushing the head of a serpent.”</span></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Let us pray</span></span></h5>

<h4><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">The Virgin of the globe</span></span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">The Holy Virgin holds a globe in her hands representing the whole world, and each person in particular, and offers it to God, imploring His mercy.<br/> She wears rings on her fingers, bearing precious stones that shed rays, one more beautiful than the next, symbolizing the graces that the Holy Virgin pours out on those who ask for them.</span></span></p>

<h4><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">The invocation on the medal</span></span></h4>
<br/>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">During the second apparition, Our Blessed Mother explained to Saint Catherine “how pleased she is when people pray to her and how generous she is with them; how she gives special graces to those who ask; and what a great joy she takes in granting them.”</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">At that point “a frame formed around Our Lady, like an oval, bearing the following words in gold letters: ‘O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.’”</span></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Let us pray</span></span></h5>

<br/>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Then a voice was heard, saying, “Have a medal struck after this model. Those who wear it, blessed, around their neck will receive great graces. The graces will be abundant for those who wear it with confidence.”</span></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Let us pray</span></span></h5>

<h4><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">The hearts of Jesus and Mary</span></span></h4>
<br/>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">After contemplating the picture on the medal, Saint Catherine saw it turn to display the back.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">There she saw an “M,” the monogram of Mary, surmounted by a small cross and, below it, the hearts of Jesus and Mary, the first surrounded with thorns and the latter pierced with a sword.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Twelve stars surrounded the hearts and the monogram.</span></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Let us pray</span></span></h5>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">O Immaculate Heart of Mary, make my heart like unto thine. Obtain for me the graces I am asking of thee and, above all, inspire me to ask of thee the graces thou most wants to grant me.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Queen of the Universe Confirming the predictions of Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort, Saint Catherine says that the Most Holy Virgin will be proclaimed Queen of the Universe:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">"Oh! how beautiful it will be to hear: Mary is the Queen of the Universe.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Lorica is an ancient Gaelic prayer attributed to St. Patrick and is an invocation to the Holy Trinity, usually recited in the morning. In the early Irish Church, loricas were numerous; some were written in Gaelic and some in Latin. In fact, the word, Lorica, is Latin, meaning shield or breastplate. Since prayer is a spiritual shield, these Irish loricas were prayed for protection against spiritual evils, but also from physical ones; the loricas came into being when the Gaelic pagans converted to Catholicism: the loricas were the replacement for the old incantations, which the new Christians discarded.</span></p>

<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Son of a <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-physicians">physician</a>, Longo was born financially well off, and received a good <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-students">education</a>, both secular and <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/christianity">Christian</a>, and attended a <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/piarists">Piarist</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-schools">school</a> until age sixteen. Raised in a pious family; they <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/prayer">prayed</a> the Rosary together each night. An excellent <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-students">student</a>, Barolo was skilled in literature, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-orators">oratory</a>, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-fencers">fencing</a>, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-dancers">dancing</a>, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-music">music</a>, and other arts, could <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-musicians">play</a> flute and piano, directed a school band; was also known to be restless, and had difficulty sitting through classes. <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-students">Studied</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-lay-people">law</a> at the University of <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-naples-italy">Naples</a> where received his degree in <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1864">1864</a>, but where he fell into a dissolute and worldly life.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Following a <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-philosophers">philosophy</a> class <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-teachers">taught</a> by a fallen-away <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-priests">priest</a>, Longo moved from indifference to the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/catholic-church">Church</a> to ridicule, to open hostility. He participated in street demonstrations against the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-popes">Pope</a>, then dabbled in occult nonsense like magnetism and spiritism, tipping tables and contacting the spirit world through mediums. Burning his bridges, he finally became a Satanist, and with some further study, a Satanist priest.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bartholomew’s family and friends refused to give up on the young man, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/prayer">praying</a> for his return to the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/christianity">faith</a>, and pecking away at his interest in Satan. Vincente Pepe, a respected <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-teachers">professor</a> from his home town, convinced him to turn from the occult, and a <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/dominicans">Dominican</a> friar named <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-priests">Father</a> Albert guided him through his return to the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/catholic-church">Church</a> in a process we would today call deprogramming. Longo finally recovered his senses and his faith, and became a <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/dominicans">Dominican</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-tertiaries">tertiary</a> on <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/25-march">25 March</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1871">1871</a>, taking the name Fratel Rosario (Brother Rosary).</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bartholomew wanted to do something to make amends for his <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/apostasy">apostasy</a>, and began <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-preachers">preaching</a> against the occult in the places where <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-schools">college</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-students">students</a> frequented. <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-priests">Father</a> Albert helped him join a group of local <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-lay-people">lay people</a> working for the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-poor-people">poor</a>. Seeing the terrible, grinding <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-poor-people">poverty</a> that was the lot of most, he wanted to do something to help, and had a sudden inspiration that the Rosary would become the key. He established a shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in the valley of Pompei and used a discarded painting of <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/bvm">Mary</a> under that title as its visual. <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-pilgrims">Pilgrims</a> came, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/miracle">miracles</a> occurred, the crowds grew, and the local <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-bishops">bishop</a> asked Bartholomew to construct a new church. Work on the church began in <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1876">1876</a>, it was dedicated in <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1887">1887</a>, given to the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-popes">papacy</a> on <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/19-february">19 February</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1894">1894</a>, was designated a <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/basilica">basilica</a> in <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1901">1901</a> by <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-popes">Pope</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/pope-leo-xiii">Leo XIII</a>, and today receives about 10,000 <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-pilgrims">pilgrims</a> a day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bartholomew and Mariana, the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-widows">widowed</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-countesses">Countess</a> di Fusco, constructed other charitable institutions nearby forming what became known as the City of Charity or City of Mary. To staff the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-orphans">orphanage</a> in the City, Longo founded the Daughters of the Rosary of Pompeii.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He established a trade <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-schools-for-the-poor">school</a> for the Sons of the Imprisoned, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-boys">boys</a> whose <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-fathers">fathers</a> were in jail, and placed it under the direction of the Brothers of Christian Schools. The success of the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-schools">school</a> disproved the contemporary assumption that <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-children">children</a> of criminals were doomed to be criminals themselves, and in <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1922">1922</a> he established a sister <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-schools">school</a> for the daughters of <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-prisoners">prisoners</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Because Bartholomew and Mariana worked together so much, gossip developed that they were romantically involved. To prevent their good work from being tainted by this talk, the two <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/matrimony">married</a> in April <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1885">1885</a>, but lived together chastely in keeping with private vows. It was not enough for some, however, and in the first years of this century he was accused of adultery, profiteering, dishonesty, even insanity. In <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1906">1906</a>, <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-popes">Pope</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/saints">Saint</a> <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/pope-blessed-pius-ix">Pius IX</a> asked Longo to retire as administrator for the good of the City, and he did, handing it over to the <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/patrons-of-popes">papacy</a>, and taking a job in the City as a regular employee. Made a Knight of the Guard Cross of the Holy Sepulcher in <a href="http://catholicsaints.info/blessed-bartholomew-longo/time-line-1925">1925</a>.</span></p>

<p>“And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Apoc. 12: 1)</p>
<p>“And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Apoc. 12: 17)</p>
<p>Two distinguishing signs of the authentic faithful: Jesus and Mary, salvation of believers and help of Christians. Unto death I promise that I shall remain faithful to my religion: the Holy, Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church.</p>

<p>“And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1: 38)</p>
<p>In short, Mary Most Holy offers us an example of humility, obedience and readiness to do the Will of God and to cooperate in bringing about His Plan of Salvation. "Lord, what do You wish me to do? Make me an instrument of Your peace."</p>

<p><strong>A SHORT BIBLICAL READING</strong>:</p>
<p>“And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth… And Mary abode with her about three months. And she returned to her own house.” (Luke 1: 39-40, 56)</p>
<p>Certainly, Mary remained until the birth of St. John the Baptist, for she knew that expectant mothers need special care and help. Here, we have a beautiful example of charity. I too promise to always practice charity and acts of mercy.</p>

<p><strong>A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:</strong></p>
<p>“And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why have you done so to us? Behold your father and I have sought you sorrowing.” (Luke: 2, 48)</p>
<p><br/>With what admirable kindness Mary admonishes her lost Son found in the temple. It is a beautiful example to parents. Children grow in wisdom, stature and grace before God and men when they receive the good example of their parents. In raising my children, I promise to always practice patience, prudence and seriousness.</p>

<p><strong>A SHORT BIBLICAL READING:</strong></p>
<p>“And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.” (John 2:1)</p>
<p>And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. Realizing that the wedding feast lacked wine, Jesus performed a miracle upon the trusting entreaty of his mother. She invites us to also obey Jesus in a special way, saying:</p>
<p>"Whatsoever he shall say to you, do it." (John 2:5)</p>

<p>“Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day's journey.

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth; in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come to me all that desire me and be filled with my fruits (Sirach 24: 24-26). </span><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">O Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Grace, Hope of the world. </span><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Hear us, your children, who cry to you</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Let Us Pray</strong></span><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">O God, who by the marvelous protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary has strengthened us firmly in hope, grant we beseech You, that by persevering in prayer at her admonition, we may obtain the favors we devoutly implore. Through Christ Our Lord. <strong>Amen.</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Prayer to Our Lady of Hope</strong></span><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">O Mary, my Mother, I kneel before you with heavy heart. The burden of my sins oppresses me. The knowledge of my weakness discourages me. I am beset by fears and temptations of every sort. Yet I am so attached to the things of this world that instead of longing for Heaven I am filled with dread at the thought of death. </span><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">O Mother of Mercy, have pity on me in my distress. You are all-powerful with your Divine Son. He can refuse no request of your Immaculate Heart. Show yourself a true Mother to me by being my advocate before His throne. O Refuge of Sinners and Hope of the Hopeless, to whom shall I turn if not you? </span></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Obtain for me, then, O Mother of Hope, the grace of true sorrow for my sins, the gift of perfect resignation to God's Holy Will, and the courage to take up my cross and follow Jesus. Beg of His Sacred Heart the special favor that I ask in this novena.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">(<i>Make your request.</i> )</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">But above all I pray, O dearest Mother, that through your most powerful intercession my heart may be filled with Holy Hope, so that in life's darkest hour I may never fail to trust in God my Savior, but by walking in the way of His commandments I may merit to be united with Him, and with you in the eternal joys of Heaven. Amen. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mary, our Hope, have pity on us. </span><br/><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Hope of the Hopeless, pray for us.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">3 Hail Marys</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><i>Devotion to Our Lady of Hope is one of the oldest Marian devotions. The first shrine bearing that title was erected at Mezieres in the year 930.</i></span></p>

<p><big style="color: #333300;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>THE 30 DAY PRAYER OF THE HOLY CLOAK OF ST. JOSEPH</strong></span><br/> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">There are small relics of Our Lady's veil and the cloak worn by St. Joseph. They can be viewed <a href="http://www.ichrusa.com/saintsalive/holyfam.htm"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HERE</span></a> on the web, an external link.</span> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">This novena in honor of Saint Joseph's is called the Holy Cloak of St. Joseph, a particular and special way to merit the patronage of this great Saint while also rendering honor to him.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">It is to be recited on thirty consecutive days in memory of the thirty years St. Joseph spent in the company of Jesus Christ, Son of God. If for some reason you cannot recite the prayer on a particular day, you may make up for it by reciting it on the 30th day as many times as the recitation was missed.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">The extraordinary graces obtained by this prayer are innumerable. In fact, St. Theresa said: "If you really want to believe in it, prove it to yourself by reciting the Novena and you will be finally convinced."</span> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">It is most efficacious to say a prayer for the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.catholictradition.org/Classics/prayers5.htm">Souls in Purgatory</a>.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">With the same solicitude that we help dry the tears of the suffering souls, so to can we hope that St. Joseph will help dry our tears in our necessities. In this way, St. Joseph's Holy Cloak will spread itself over us and will serve as a shield against all those dangers which beset us so that we may all one day, with the grace of God, obtain eternal salvation.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Our Lord and Our Lady invite us to love and honor and pray to St. Joseph:</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Jesus himself said to St. Margaret, "I wish that every day you offer special prayers to My mother and St. Joseph, My most sweet guardian." The Blessed Mother said to the Venerable Dagreda, "You must see to it that you continually increase your love and devotion to this great Saint. In all your necessities, you must avail yourself of his protection, under all circumstances you must encourage as many people as possible toward this devotion . . . for indeed, whatever my devoted spouse requests in Heaven, the Almighty God will grant on Earth."</span></big></p>

Amen.</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give Thee my heart and my soul.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times to our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for having exalted St. Joseph to a position of such exceptional dignity.)</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">OFFERING</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I </span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, I humbly prostrate myself before Thee. I beg the Lord Jesus, thine Immaculate Spouse, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the Angels and Saints in the Heavenly Court, to join me in this devotion. I offer thee this precious cloak, while pledging my sincerest faith and devotion. I promise to do all in my power to honor thee throughout my lifetime to prove my love for thee.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Help me, St. Joseph. Assist me now and throughout my lifetime, but especially at the moment of my death, as thou wert assisted by Jesus and Mary, that I may join thee one day in Heaven and there honor thee for all eternity. Amen.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">II</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">O Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, prostrate, before thee and thy Divine Son, Jesus, I offer thee, with heartfelt devotion, this precious treasury of prayers, being ever mindful of the numerous virtues which adorned thy sacred person. In thee, O Glorious Patriarch, was fulfilled the dream of thy precursor the first Joseph, who indeed seemed to have been sent by God to prepare the way for thy presence on this Earth. In fact, not only wert thou surrounded by the shining splendor of the rays of the Divine Son, Jesus, but thou wert splendidly reflected in the brilliant light of the mystic moon, the Blessed Virgin Mary. O Glorious Patriarch, if the example of the ancient Jacob, who personally went to congratulate his favorite son, who was exalted on the throne of Egypt, served to bring all his progeny there, should not the example of Jesus and Mary, who honored thee with their greatest respect and trust, serve to bring me, thy devoted servant, to present thee with this precious cloak in thy honor.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Grant, O Great St. Joseph, that the Almighty God may turn a benevolent glance toward me. As the ancient Joseph did not reject his guilty and cruel brothers, but rather accepted them with love and protected and saved them from hunger and death, I beseech thee, O Glorious Patriarch, through thine intercession, grant that the Lord may never abandon me in this exiled valley of sorrows. Grant that He may always number me as one of thy devoted servants who dost live serenely under the patronage of thy Holy Cloak. Grant that I may live always within the protection of this patronage, every day of my life and particularly at that moment when I draw my dying breath.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">PRAYERS</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hail O Glorious St. Joseph, thou who art entrusted with the priceless treasures of Heaven and Earth and foster-father of Him Who doth nourish all the creatures of the universe. Thou art, after Mary, the Saint most worthy of our love and devotion. Thou alone, above all the Saints, wert chosen for that supreme honor of rearing, guiding, nourishing and even embracing the Messiah, Whom so many kings and prophets would have so desired to behold.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, save my soul and obtain for me from the Divine Mercy of God that petition for which I humbly pray. And for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, grant a great comfort from their pain.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times to our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for having exalted St. Joseph to a position of such exceptional dignity.)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">II</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">O powerful St. Joseph, thou wert proclaimed the Patron of the Universal Church, therefore, I invoke thee, above all the other Saints, as the greatest protector of the afflicted, and I offer countless blessings to thy most generous heart, always ready to help in any need.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">To thee, O Glorious St. Joseph, come the widows, the orphans, the abandoned, the afflicted, the oppressed. There is no sorrow, heartache or anguish which thou hast not consoled. Deign, I beseech thee, to use on my behalf those gifts which God hast given thee, until I too shall be granted the answer to my petition And thou, Holy Souls in Purgatory, pray to St. Joseph for me.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times to our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for having exalted St. Joseph to a position of such exceptional dignity.)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">III</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Countless are those who have prayed to thee before me and have received comfort and peace, graces and favors. My heart, so sad and sorrowful, cannot find rest in the midst of this trial which besets me. O Glorious St. Joseph, thou knowest all my needs even before I set them forth in prayer. Thou knowest how important this petition is for me. I prostrate myself before thee as I sigh under the heavy weight of the problem which confronts me.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">There is no human heart in which I can confide my sorrow; and even if I should find a compassionate creature who would be willing to assist me, still he would be unable to help me. Only thou can help me in my sorrow, St. Joseph, and I beg thee to hear my plea.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Has not St. Theresa left it written in her dialogues that the world may always know "Whatever you ask of St. Joseph, you shall receive."</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">O St. Joseph, comforter of the afflicted, have pity on my sorrow and pity on those Poor Souls who place so much hope in their prayers to thee.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times to our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for having exalted St. Joseph to a position of such exceptional dignity.)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> IV</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">O Sublime Patriarch St. Joseph, because of thy perfect obedience to God, thou mayest intercede for me.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">For thy holy life full of grace and merit, hear my prayer.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">For thy most sweet name, help me. For your most holy tears, comfort me.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">For thy seven sorrows, intercede for me. For your seven joys, console me.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">From all harm of body and soul, deliver me. From all danger and disaster, save me.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Assist me with thy powerful intercession and seek for me, through thy power and mercy, all that is necessary for my salvation and particularly the favor of which I now stand in such great need.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times to our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for having exalted St. Joseph to a position of such exceptional dignity.)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">V</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">O Glorious St. Joseph, countless are the graces and favors which thou hast obtained for afflicted souls. Illness of every nature, those who are oppressed, persecuted, betrayed, bereft of all human comfort, even those in need of their life bread-</span></big> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #333300;">----</span></span><big style="color: #333300;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">all who imploreth thy powerful intercession are comforted in their affliction.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Do not permit, O dearest St. Joseph, that I alone be the only one of all who hast appealed to thee, to be denied this petition which I so earnestly beg of thee. Show thy kindness and generosity even to me, that I may cry out in thanksgiving, "Eternal glory to our Holy Patriarch St. Joseph, my great protector on Earth and the defender of the Holy Souls in Purgatory."</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times to our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for having exalted St. Joseph to a position of such exceptional dignity.)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">VI</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Eternal Father, Who art in Heaven, through the merits of Jesus and Mary, I beg Thee to grant my petition. In the name of Jesus and Mary I prostrate myself before Thy Divine presence and I beseech Thee to accept my hopeful plea to persevere in my prayers that I may be numbered among the throngs of those who live under the patronage of St. Joseph.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Extend Thy blessing on this precious treasury of prayers which I today offer to him as a pledge of my devotion.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times to our Heavenly Father in thanksgiving for having exalted St. Joseph to a position of such exceptional dignity.)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">SUPPLICATIONS in honor of St. Joseph's hidden life with JESUS and MARY</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may come into my soul and sanctify me.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may come into my heart and inspire it with charity.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may come into my mind and enlighten it.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may guide my will and strengthen it.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may direct my thoughts and purify them.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may guide my desires and direct them.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may look upon my deeds and extend His blessings.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that Jesus may inflame me with love for Him.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus the imitation of thy virtues.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus true humility of spirit.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus meekness of heart.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus peace of soul.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus a holy fear of the Lord.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus a desire for perfection.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus a gentleness of heart.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus a pure and charitable heart.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus the wisdom of faith.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus His blessing of perseverance in my good deeds.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus the strength to carry my crosses.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus a disdain for the material goods of this world.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus the grace to always walk on the narrow path toward Heaven.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus the grace to avoid all occasion of sin.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus a holy desire for eternal bliss.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, request for me from Jesus the grace of final perseverance.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, do not abandon me.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, pray that my heart may never cease to love thee and that my lips may ever praise thee.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, for the love thou didst bear for Jesus, grant that I may learn to love Him.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, graciously accept me as thy devoted servant.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, I give myself to thee; accept my pleas and hear my prayers.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">St. Joseph, do not abandon me at the hour of my death.</span> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give Thee my heart and my soul.</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Recite the Glory Be 3 times, etc.)</span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">INVOCATIONS TO SAINT JOSEPH</span> <br/> <br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I</span><br/> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Remember O most chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, my good protector St. Joseph, that never was it known that anyone who didst come to thy protection, and sought thine intercession was left unaided.
