Wake up Sleeping Giants... Christians!

Wake up sleeping giants! That's us, Christians... we need to be in prayer and work, we need to live one word ... Hope!

I have felt as we struggle through these tragic times of evil that covers the world that we need to be united in prayer. We know that Jesus has already won... Praying the scripture Isaiah 65 is a strong way for us to pray for Divine Intervention now.

Isaiah 65: 17 - 25

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. But be glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and the cry of distress. No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old man who does not fill out his days, for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed. They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the LORD, and their children with them. Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, says the LORD."

Repeat the Holy Name of Jesus... Jesus... Jesus... over n' over. Pray over the concerns of our world.

God, My Father...

“God, my Father in heaven, You are all mercy. You love me and see my every sin. God, I call on You now as the merciful Father. Forgive my every sin. Wash away the stains on my soul so that I may once again rest in complete innocence. I trust You, Father in heaven. I rely on You. I thank you. Amen.”

This prayer came from the messages of Anne, a Lay Apostle; it came from “VOLUME THREE” Part One: God the Father Speaks to His Children...

Chant Gregorian - Benedictos prayer and glory to God

Hail, hope of the world, Mary, hail, meek one, hail, loving one, hail, full of grace
Hail O singular virgin, who wast chosen to not suffer flames through brambles
Hail, beautiful rose, hail, staff of Jesse:
Whose fruit loosened the chains of our weeping
Hail whose womb bore a son against the law of death
Hail, O one lacking comparison, still tearfully renewing joy for the world
Hail, lamp of virgins, through whom the heavenly light shone on these whom shadow holds.
Hail, O virgin from whom a thing of heaven wished to be born, and from whose milk feed.
Hail, gem of the lamps of heaven
Hail, sanctuary of the Holy Ghost
O, how wonderful, and how praiseworthy is this virginity!
In whom, made through the spirit, the paraclete, shone fruitfulness.
O how holy, how serene, how kind, how pleasant the virgin is believed to be!
Through whom slavery is finished, a place of heaven is opened, and liberty is returned.
O, lily of chastity, pray to thy son, who is the salvation of the humble:
Lest we through our fault, in the tearful judgment suffer punishment.
But may she, by her holy prayer, purifying from the dregs of sin, place us in a home of light
Amen let every man say.

Prayer Before A Crucifx

There is no greater power than the power of the Cross.

Lord, protect us in our struggle against evil.
As we begin the discipline of Lent, make this season holy by our self-denial. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.




Thank you Brothawhye n' YouTube...

For many Christians, Lent can be a mystery. For some, Lent a period of going on a diet; for others Lent a time when their Catholic friends wear ashes on their foreheads and eat fish on Fridays. Many evangelicals find they are strangely attracted to Lent, but know little about the Lenten season. Whatever your theological or denominational bent, I highly recommend exploring the season known as Lent.

The Dream of the Three Stops

I read this this morning and thought how wonderful our Lord is... He speaks to us in so many ways. Dreams are a strong way of communicating, giving us hope... I remember so many of my dreams where hope was given to me, hope that gave me the strength, the guidance to move on with my life.

On the second Sunday of October of that year (1844), I had to tell my boys that the Oratory was to be transferred to Valdocco. But I was really uncertain and puzzled about the how and the who of the new location. The night before, I went to bed with a troubled heart. That night I had another dream, which seems to complement the one I had in Becchi when I was about nine years old. (...)

I saw myself in a dream among a multitude of wolves, goats and kids, lambs, ewes, sheep, dogs and birds. Together they made so much noise, such a terrible racket, or rather, such an infernal roar to inspire terror in the bravest. I wanted to flee, when a Lady, beautifully dressed with the appearance of a shepherdess, beckoned me to follow and accompany that strange flock, while she walked on ahead.

We went wandering through various places, and we made three stops: at each stop many of the animals changed into lambs, whose number was constantly swelled. After walking for a long time, I found myself in a meadow, where the animals hopped about and ate side by side, without attempting to bite each other.

Thoroughly exhausted, I wanted to sit down beside a nearby road, but the shepherdess invited me to continue on. After walking a little further, I discovered a large courtyard surrounded by a covered gallery at the end of which was a church. There I found that four fifths of the animals had now become lambs. Their number kept increasing considerably.

At that moment, several young shepherds came to watch them, but they remained just a short time and left at once. Then something wonderful happened. Many lambs turned into young shepherds who, now in greater number, were now taking care of the others. The number of shepherds kept increasing greatly, so they parted, and went elsewhere to shelter other strange animals and guide them to other sheepfolds. (...)

I wanted to ask the shepherdess what she wanted with this journey, with all the stops (...)

"You will understand everything," she replied, "when you see with your eyes of flesh the reality that you now only see with the eyes of your mind."

"The Prayer of the Children" by Kurt Bestor and Sam Cardon

Can you hear the prayer of the children?
On bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room
Empty eyes with no more tears to cry
Turning heavenward toward the light

Crying Jesus, help me
To see the morning light-of one more day
But if I should die before I wake,
I pray my soul to take

Can you feel the hearts of the children?
Aching for home, for something of their very own
Reaching hands, with nothing to hold on to,
But hope for a better day a better day

Crying Jesus, help me
To feel the love again in my own land
But if unknown roads lead away from home,
Give me loving arms, away from harm

Can you hear the voice of the children?
Softly pleading for silence in a shattered world?
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate,
Blood of the innocent on their hands

Crying Jesus, help me
To feel the sun again upon my face,
For when darkness clears I know you're near,
Bringing peace again

Dali cujete sve djecje molitive?
(croatian translation:
'Can you hear all the children's prayers?')
Can you hear the prayer of the children?

I dedicate this to my sons n' to all children...

A Letter to the Editor...

A good friend of mine sent to me a letter her husband wrote to our local newspaper . The morning he wrote it he woke up with these words burning in his heart. Can we not make this into a prayer for our country... O America !

LETTER TO EDITOR

My wife and I were talking to a young man who returned from Iraq this spring and said he may be going to Afghanistan. We thanked him for his service and said “God bless you”. He looked up and said very clearly “Merry Christmas”. This made me think: what is he fighting for?

Today we have all kinds of vulgar and pornographic expressions under the “Freedom of Speech” & “Freedom of Expression” First Amendment. However, the “political correctness police” have discouraged saying “Merry Christmas” for years now because it may “offend” someone. As many of you know, a democracy is supposed to be run by the majority of its people-not the minority that may object! There was a large minority that objected to the Revolutionary War, they were called “Tories”, but the majority of Americans wanted Freedom and that is what we got.

It is said, “All it takes for evil to thrive is for good people to do nothing”. Please pray for the soul of our wonderful Country, be Patriotic, freely express our Age Old sayings such as: “Merry Christmas”, “In God We Trust”, and “God Bless America”!

No one will arrest you----------Yet.

Tim McCarthy, Pequot Lakes, MN

Please pray for our country and put CHRISTmas back in our nation...

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
