How Great Is Our God

As I watched this Christian music video, I felt... what a powerful way to praise our God, strong praiseworthy music n' soul burning scriptures to pray by. The Truth... for the times we live in... knowing that every word that God sends out does not return to Him void.

Father, Your Word does not return to You void, but does exactly what it was sent out to do (Isaiah 55:11). Amen!

Thank you MatthewSgherzi n' youtube

All we have to do is look around us to see that God is in control... to fear not, but to trust in Him, in His Word and pray!

God bless,

The Lords Prayer

What would happen if everyone in the world prayed this prayer from their hearts?
I believe there would be healing peace beyond our understanding... in every moment our God is creating new life... "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Thank you ditworthy n' youtube

May God bring peace into your life...

The Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel

In my search to learn more about St. Michael and the other
angels I ran across the story behind the chaplet.By praying
the chaplet we show a wonderful way to honor this
great Archangel along with the other nine Choirs of Angels.
In my understanding of "Choirs of Angels", God has created
several orders of Angels. Sacred Scripture shows us nine such
celestial bodies; Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions,
Powers, Virtues,Principalities, Archangels and Angels…
(Isa. 6:2, Gen. 3:24, Col.1:6, Eph. 1:21, Rom. 8:38).
There may be more groupings but these are the only ones
that have been revealed to us. The Seraphim is believed to be
the highest Choir, the most intimately united to God, while
the Angelic Choir is the lowest.

St. Michael’s Chaplet dates back to a devout Servant of God,
Antonia d'Astonac, who had a vision of St. Michael. He told
Antonia to honor him by nine salutations to the nine Choirs
of Angels. St. Michael promised that whoever would practice
this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching
Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each
of the nine Choirs. In addition, for those who would recite the
Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and that
of all the holy angels during life.

The Chaplet of St. Michael

O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father...

Say one Our Father and three Hail Mary’s’ after each of the following

nine salutations in honor of the nine Choirs of Angels.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Seraphim may the Lord make us worthy to burn with the fire of

perfect charity. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Cherubim may the Lord grant us the grace to leave the ways of sin

and run in the paths of Christian perfection. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Thrones may the Lord infuse into our hearts a true and sincere

spirit of humility. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Dominions may the Lord give us grace to govern our senses and

overcome any unruly passions. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Powers may the Lord protect our souls against the snares and

temptations of the devil. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Virtues may the Lord preserve us from evil and falling into

temptation. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Principalities may God fill our souls with a true spirit of

obedience. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Archangels may the Lord give us perseverance in faith and in all

good works in order that we may attain the glory of Heaven. Amen.

* By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of

Angels may the Lord grant us to be protected by them in this mortal

life and conducted in the life to come to Heaven. Amen.

Say one Our Father in honor of each of the following leading Angels:

St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael and our Guardian Angel.

Concluding prayers:

O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the

heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits,

servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor,

you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from
all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your

gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus

Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises.

Almighty and Everlasting God, Who, by a prodigy of goodness and a

merciful desire for the salvation of all men, has appointed the most

glorious Archangel St. Michael Prince of Your Church, make us

worthy, we ask You, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none

of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be

conducted by him into Your Presence. This we ask through the merits

of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

 beautifully crafted. Just click on the photo and you will be taken

St. Michael Prayer

When I came into the Catholic Church one of the most powerful prayers I learned is the "St. Michael, the Archangel Prayer." It is changing my life, by praying the St. Michael prayer daily I have come to know that I am not alone in my struggles; that St Michael and all God's angels are there defending us.

"St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

Thank you 1Hope4All n' YouTube

You can pray the "Guardian Angel Prayer" every morning and at night before you go to bed...

"Angel of God my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day (night) be at my side, to light, to guard, to rule, to guide. Amen."

Blessings,

Enough!

I am so uplifted, so full of hope n' joy as I continue to read the messages from Anne, a lay apostle. In this message our Mother wants to share God’s joy with us so that we will understand why our work is so important.

My dear consecrated souls, this is what we are
doing. Only instead of removing children, we are
changing the environment. You must assist with
this problem. God is no longer allowing this
choke hold of sin. It is very simple. He has said,
“Enough.” As with every people and every time,
you must come to know the love of your God so
you will not have to meet the wrath of your God.
This is nothing new to you, souls of my heart.
You have heard all of this before. The new part is
the vast amount of grace that God is pouring over
this world to fuel this renewal. That is why you
are going to see your efforts succeed like they have
not succeeded in the past. The world is asleep and
we seek to wake it from that sleep.
Volume 3... God Speaks to His Children; Aug. 13, 2003
http://www.directionforourtimes.com/index.html

I'm reminded of one of my favorite scripture verses where Jesus says..."I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing" Luke 12:49 I believe the blazes are spreading...

Entering a New Time

I read this message from Mary, our Blessed Mother and felt a nudge to share it with you. This came from Vol. 3, God Speaks to His Children, from the messages given to Anne, a lay apostle. [Acts 1:7-8]… Jesus says, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.”… But we are to be aware of the signs of the times [Matthew 24: 3 – 44, Mark 13: 3 – 33, Luke 21: 7 – 36] and to pray for the time when the miracle of souls occurs, for the swift coming of the kingdom of God.
In this message from Mary, our Blessed Mother speaks to her Bishops and priests… she continues giving us a glimpse of the future… as we are aware that the world is changing.

August 9, 2003 Blessed Mother... I talk about fear today. During the time of transition there will be great fear. This fear is the result of the lack of faith that has settled upon this world. Faithful souls need to be told that fear is not going to help the situation and fear will make people respond in panic. What is necessary is calm, a trust that can only be achieved through a daily prayer regime. It is the regime I wish to speak about today. People must be encouraged to attend daily Mass. In this way they can pray both for their own safety, and for the swift coming of the Kingdom of God. Daily Mass is one part of their plan for remaining recollected. Another part is prayer in the home. I believe the family rosary must be encouraged in every home. It is this daily rosary that binds and directs the family. I can protect a family that prays in this way. When a family does not pray, it becomes more difficult to see that they remain united and pointed toward heaven. Please, encourage this. I also want to say that the Sacrament of Confession must be dusted off and re-instituted. I do not speak of group confession at this time. I have nothing to say about that except that each soul must meet with a priest, the representative of my Son, Jesus, in order for the sacramental graces to be obtained. This is necessary for each soul to be a receptacle of the vast amount of grace available to the world at this time and in the near future. If a soul has not received this sacramental grace, they will not feel the peace I intend to make available. The peace given will be a deep and consuming peace which will eradicate fear and place confidence and joy in each heart. Do you want this for your people? Then you must see that they begin my regime of prayer. Time will not go backward, but forward, and the plan has been committed to. I’m afraid we must enter the storm, my dear sons, but we do so together. In an extraordinary way, heaven is joined to earth and the souls dwelling in each existence will work as one to bring about the New Time. Our plan is perfect. My Son is poised to return. Spend your energy now on preparing His people.

Remember, with God there is no time, yesterday, today and tomorrow are the same to him. This world, so in need of cleansing, is approaching the moment for which many have pleaded. I encourage you to visit http://www.directionforourtimes.com. You can download and read the 10 volumes that Anne has written, messages from Jesus giving us hope and a purpose in our lives, as lay apostles we can pray (like a pebble thrown on the water) for the souls around us and beyond.

God bless,
Elizabeth

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.
