Divine Mercy for Life - In atonement for the sins of abortion and our sins against the Culture of Life

Please Pray 5 Chaplets of Divine Mercy daily in honour of the five wounds of Jesus in atonement for the sins of abortion throughout the world and in atonement for our sins against the Culture of Life.

Pray for 33 Days starting today up until 15th August, the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady.

Promises of Jesus to us for Praying the Chaplet

"Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this Chaplet. Write down these words, my daughter. Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize my unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of my mercy; let them profit from the blood and water 
which gushed forth for them" 

(Diary, 848) .

"Say unceasingly the Chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it, they will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy" (Diary, 687).

If you cannot manage five, pray it three times or at least once daily because abortion is a cruel and barbaric act against a baby in the womb, which also hurts the mother and hurts the whole of society and we will all be held to account by the Lord for what we did or did not do to stop it and we must also make atonement for own sins against the Culture of Life and for not witnessing to 
the Gospel of Life. 

We also give Thanks and Praise to God, the Lord of all Life
for the Gift of Life and all His Creation

Adoration, Contrition,Thanksgiving and Supplication 

GOD'S MERCY A Universal Hope - Part I

Please reach out to others in your Parish.  Set up a Divine Mercy prayer group even with just one other person.  Do not allow  your own weaknesses or inadequacies to stop you.  The Lord will do the work when you step out in faith.  Pray for your Parish and for your Priests. 

Any Divine Mercy prayer group or apostolate belongs to Jesus not to the individuals involved.  It is His work. We should always rejoice when others try to spread the Divine Mercy of Jesus and remember where we stand before God.    If we know about the Divine Mercy we have a responsibility to spread it to others and to help Jesus save souls. God bless you.

Prayer to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament - St. Faustina

I adore You, Lord and Creator, hidden in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I adore You for all the works of Your hands, that reveal to me so much wisdom, goodness and mercy, O Lord. You have spread so much beauty over the earth and it tells me about Your beauty, even though these beautiful things are but a faint reflection of You, incomprehensible Beauty. And although You have hidden Yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eye, enlightened by faith, reaches You and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good, and my heart is completely immersed in prayer of adoration.

My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature. To converse with You, O Lord, is the delight of my heart. In You I find everything that my heart could desire. Here You light illumines my mind, enabling it to know You more and more deeply. Here streams of graces flow down upon my heart. Here my soul draws eternal life. O my Lord and Creator, You alone, beyond all these gifts, give Your own self to me and unite Yourself intimately with Your miserable creature.

O Christ, let my greatest delight be to see You loved and Your praise and glory proclaimed, especially the honor of Your mercy. O Christ, let me glorify Your goodness and mercy to the last moment of my life, with every drop of my blood and every beat of my heart. Would that I be transformed into a hymn of adoration of You. When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn glorifying Your unfathomable mercy. Amen.

Today is the Great Feast of Corpus Christi 2nd June  

A Worldwide Day of Adoration takes place at 5pm (Italian Time) in Union with Pope Francis and Catholics throughout the world.

Scripture Reflections:

Matthew 18: 6-7 

If any of you should cause one of these

little ones who believe in me to stumble and fall,

it would be better for you to be thrown into 

the sea with a great millstone around your neck.

Matthew 18: 10 

See that you do not despise any of these little ones,

for I tell you: their angels in Heaven continually

see the face of my Heavenly Father. 

Jesus told St. Faustina, "I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their salvation. When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion. This is the prayer: “O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.” (Diary 186-187) 

Naming Ceremony for the Gosnell Babies - Part 1: Fr. Frank Pavone's Homily

  O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus 

as a Fount of Mercy for us, 

I Trust in You. 

 Lord have mercy on us and on our world for the grave sin of abortion.

Please support us in Prayer and Penance for 40 Days to keep abortion out of Ireland.

Archbishop Eamon Martin, Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Armagh has asked us to support this important initiative at his homily in Dundalk, Co. Louth, when he said the followiing: 

Not long before he died, Pope John Paul told the young people in Rome, ‘There is no authentic celebration or adoration of the Eucharist that does not lead to mission’.  In a world where human life itself is under attack, we have a particular and critical mission.  The other day a member of the Apostolate of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration told me – I am offering up my holy hour each week before the Blessed Sacrament so that, even at this late stage, the government may have a change of heart and not introduce legislation for abortion into our country. 

The organisation ‘Precious Life’ is calling on all of us to offer forty days of prayer and fasting from the 12 May for the protection of unborn children in this country. I support these initiatives, because if we are in ‘communion’ with Christ, the Bread of Life, at Mass or during adoration, then we are also ‘commissioned’ to bring the Good News about Life out there into our community. How can we be in communion with the Bread of Life at Mass or here tonight and not speak the ‘Gospel of Life’ in our daily lives, especially these days when unborn human life is under such a direct threat in our country?

If you are on Facebook please go to Precious Life Facebook and like their page and give them your support.  They are a wonderful organisation that not only acts against abortion but also encourages Prayer and Penance which is vital against the spirits of darkness in abortion and euthanasia. 

We can pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet every day against this evil and pray it a few times a day during this forty days especially along with other prayers.  

Nothing is impossible to God.  

Have Faith and Trust in Him who can do all things.  

Abortion Legislation for Ireland.......Please Pray with us and Trust in Gods Divine Mercy to end abortion worldwide

A PRO-LIFE group of women who regret their abortions is receiving support in its bid to address the Oireachtas committee examining the X Case legislation.

The Oireachtas Health Committee will decide this week who to invite as witnesses before its hearings on the abortion legislation.

Fine Gael TD Billy Timmins has written to the committee asking it to allow the 'Women Hurt' organisation to appear before it as it considers the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill.

A campaign run by the group, highlighting a series of women's regrets after having an abortion, caused controversy and a spat with the National Women's Council of Ireland.

Mr Timmins said it was a "weakness" in the submissions by the committee when it held hearings on the Expert Group on Abortion report that it did not hear from the women.

Please pray for these women who have a powerful voice that they will be heard at these hearings.  God bless you.  

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I Trust in You.   Jesus I Trust in You.  

Divine Mercy through the Anointing of the Sick

 Thank You Jesus for the Gift of renewal of our 

Baptismal Grace

today on 

Your Feast of Divine Mercy 

I hope all of you had a grace filled Divine Mercy Sunday and brought many souls back to the Lords Mercy.  

We continue now even more to pray and bring more souls to His Mercy.  It does not end with the Feast Day but rather it should urge us on to do more in our own areas for Jesus to help Him to save souls.  

To set up Divine Mercy prayer groups in your Parish, in your own home perhaps even with one other person, to spread the Image of Divine Mercy and get it in to many homes.  I would urge those who work in lay apostolates to do all you can to spread the Divine Mercy.  Believe it or not, there are many souls out there including Catholics who know nothing about the Divine Mercy.  Go out and spread it as best you can through prayer and deeds.  

God bless you and let us thank God for His Great Mercy and for all the graces we have received today. 

DIVINE  MERCY  SUNDAY

7th April 2013 

 Our Lord's promise to grant complete forgiveness of sins and punishment on the Feast of Mercy is recorded three times in the Diary of Saint Faustina, each time in a slightly different way:

"I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My mercy" (1109).

"Whoever approaches the Fountain of Life on this day will be granted complete forgiveness of sins and punishment" (300).

"The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment" (699).

Novena of Divine Mercy - Day 9

Ninth Day

"Today bring to Me the Souls who have become Lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy." 

Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen. 

Novena of Divine Mercy - Day 8

Eighth Day

"Today bring to Me the Souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice."   

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.

Novena of Divine Mercy - Day 7

Seventh Day

Today bring to Me the Souls who especially venerate and glorify My Mercy, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:

Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.
