A Prayer For Our Country...

I have been seeking for a prayer to pray for America and in one of my prayer sites I found this prayer from the Holy Spirit given to Sister Mildred... I am now doing a 200 day novena... Please join me and pray for our country.

Sister Mildred writes to her Spiritual director Fr. Leibold concerning the composition of this prayer... "I was getting some things ready for the following morning, In the Midst of it I was seized with an indescribable impulse. Thoughts of the Trinity and being conformed to the likeness of Christ filled my mind and my heart... My whole longing was to live a life of complete adoration, in union with Christ.

Prayer to Our Lady of America, Patroness of our Land

Oh Immaculate Mother, Queen of our country, open our hearts, our homes, and our land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son. With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of Gods light shining in and about you. Be our leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior, Who loves us with infinite charity.

We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care.

We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us.

We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love, and the purity of our lives according to your desire.

Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us. Use us, your children of America, as your instruments of peace among men and nations. Work your miracle of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us.

May your valiant spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in "renewing the face of the earth." Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother, and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son reigns forever as King.

Amen

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen... Psalm 33: 12

(Novena for 200 days)

We Need God's Aide and Protection...

Look around, look at history and see If what I say is not important. In the last half century events in our world have escalated to such a crisis ... our only hope is in our God... we need to come together in prayer for God's Truth and Justice to prevale in the world. The wars, the greed and corruption of the elite rich and those in power, the destroying of the innocent, the poor... "Jesus Savior, Son of God...Have mercy on us and on the whole world." By repeating Jesus Holy Name hundreds of times...daily. A very powerful prayer that we could pray for Truth and Justice is...

The prayer that follows must be recited for nine consecutive Tuesdays, lighting a candle on each Tuesday. This miraculous Saint has been known to grant anything, no matter how difficult it is, before the ninth Tuesday.

"Novena to Saint Martha"

Saint Martha, I resort to thy aid and protection. As proof of my affection and faith, I offer thee this light, which I shall burn every Tuesday. Comfort me in all my difficulties and through the great favors thou didst enjoy when the Savior was lodged in thy house, intercede for my family, that we be provided for in our necessities. I ask of thee, Saint Martha, to overcome all difficulties as thou didst overcome the dragon which thou hadst at thy feet. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Recite the following prayers... Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...

Let us pray...pray for healing freedom in our lives and in our world. "O Lord, with the winnowing fan of Your Divine Will, separate good from evil."

In The Begining... of a New Year

Like so many others, I too want to start this New Year in a way that brings honor n' glory to my God. I was on my Beliefnet.com site and found this prayer that says so much. Each day I will ask the Holy Spirit to help me reach my goals.

COME, HOLY SPIRIT,
FILL MY HEART WITH YOUR HOLY GIFTS.

LET MY WEAKNESS BE PENETRATED WITH YOUR STRENGTH
THIS VERY DAY THAT I MAY FULFILL ALL THE DUTIES OF MY STATE
CONSCIENTIOUSLY, THAT I MAY DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND JUST.

LET MY CHARITY BE SUCH AS TO OFFEND NO ONE, AND HURT NO ONE'S
FEELINGS; SO GENEROUS AS TO PARDON SINCERELY ANY WRONG DONE TO ME.

ASSIST ME, OH HOLY SPIRIT,
IN ALL MY TRIALS OF LIFE, ENLIGHTEN ME IN MY IGNORANCE, ADVISE ME
IN MY DOUBTS, STRENGTHEN ME IN MY WEAKNESS, HELP ME IN ALL MY NEEDS,
PROTECT ME IN TEMPTATIONS AND CONSOLE ME IN AFFLICTIONS.

GRACIOUSLY HEAR ME, OH HOLY SPIRIT
AND POUR YOUR LIGHT INTO MY HEART, MY SOUL AND MY MIND.

ASSIST ME TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE AND GROW IN GOODNESS AND GRACE.
AMEN.

Practice Love. It is the great lesson. Practice this and I will bless you beyond all you can imagine.
