Join us as we say the Final Prayer of Divine Mercy Novena Dear Lord Jesus, I have specific requests that may only partially fill the infinite needs and desires that are in my heart. I ask that You answer me not only for those requests but also for a greater reliance on You to satisfy the needs and desires that You have given me. Please grant the prayers of all those who prayed this novena with me. Bless them with Your love and make them holy!... May I seek You with a sincere heart knowing that it will profit me nothing if I gain the whole world yet lose my soul. So, help me to see Your good and gracious purpose in all my trials. Help me to see Your blessings in every day and help me to love You more. Thank You for everything, Lord Jesus! Amen. #DivineMercyChaplet #DivineMercyNovena #divinemercy #hope

OBTAIN THE DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY PLENARY INDULGENCE! "The most special grace promised by our Lord for Mercy Sunday is nothing less than the equivalent of a comple...te renewal of baptismal grace in the soul: "complete forgiveness (remission) of sins and punishment." Such a measure of grace can only be received otherwise through baptism itself, or through making a sacramental confession as an act of perfect contrition for sin, out of pure love for God. Pass the message of Divine Mercy.

Join us as we pray the Divine Mercy Novena - Day 9 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. "Today bring to Me 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 salva...tion 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. #DivineMercyChaplet #divinemercy #DivineMercyNovena

Why should we keep the Rosary under the pillow? Keep a Rosary, even of the little ones, under the pillow. Since I took that habit, I solve problems more easily, and it is a good method for those who have insomnia, they will see that they wake up with the Rosary in their hands and have had a good rest!...Continue reading

Happy Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. May this powerful saint intercede for all our needs! #prayers #saints #SaintJosephtheWorker #SaintJoseph #saintjosephprayforus

Join us as we pray the Divine Mercy Novena - Day 8 Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN 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, yo...u 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. #DivineMercyChaplet #hope #divinemercy #DivineMercyNovena

*Hold on to Your Crown* Today’s Scripture:Psalm 8:5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. *Today’s Word* When God breathed His life into you, He put a crown of glory and honor on your head. This crown represents your authority. It represents God's blessing and favor on your life. It's a reminder that you are royalty. When you're wearing your crown, you'll have a sense of entitlement, thinking, I have a right to be blessed and... live in victory because I'm wearing a crown of honor put there by my Creator. Jesus said, "Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown." Throughout life, there will always be someone or something trying to take your crown. People will talk about you, trying to make you look bad, to push you down. What they're really doing is trying to take your crown. Don't let them have it. Nobody can take your crown. You have to let go of what was said or done to you rather than let go of your crown. *Prayer for Today* "Father, thank You that You have put a crown of glory and honor on my head by Your grace. Thank You that I am not less than others or just average, but You have made me royalty. I declare I will not allow anyone or anything to take my crown. In Jesus' Name, Amen." #bible #biblestudy #bibleverseoftheday #bibleverse #biblejournaling #catholic #Jesus #hope #faith #HeLovesUsAll

May our dearest Saint Anthony, pray for us and intercede for us. Amen #saint #catholic #SaintAnthony #stanthontyofpadua #intercession #intercessors

*Live Joyfully* Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 17:22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. *Today’s Word*... Everyone deals with stress and challenges, but don't let that deceive you into going through life solemn and grumpy. All work and no play are out of balance. You have to give yourself permission to enjoy your life. You have serious responsibilities, but you can still have a joyful heart. Start taking your medicine every single day. One of the greatest stress relievers God has given us is laughter. Laughing makes us feel better and releases healing throughout our systems. When was the last time you had a good hearty laugh? If it's been awhile, maybe your laughter is rusted and needs to be overhauled! You don't know how much better you would feel and the energy you'd pick up if you'd just learn to laugh more often. Developing a sense of humor and looking for opportunities to laugh can make a big difference in the quality of your life. Find something funny that makes you laugh out loud every day. *Prayer for Today* "Father, thank You for the healing power in laughter and a joyful heart. Thank You that You created me with a sense of humor and with a way to release some of the stress I feel through laughter. I will knock the rust off my laughter and learn to laugh more. In Jesus" Name, Amen." #biblestudy #bible #bibleverse #BibleVerseChallenge #joy #peace

"The servants of Christ are protected by invisible, rather than visible, beings. But if these guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayer." -St. Ambrose.

Covered by Mercy Today’s Scripture: Titus 3:45 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. *Today’s Word*... Saul was persecuting the church when God appeared to him and changed him into the apostle Paul. God doesn't give us what we deserve. We deserve the consequences of our actions; we deserve judgment, but God gives us mercy. He knows how to make miracles out of our mistakes. The accusing voices will tell you, "You're done, and it's your fault. You know you weren't supposed to do it. It's your mess." No, God is so merciful that He'll not only bring you out, He'll clean up your mess. You may be in a mess of your own doing right now. God has mercy for that mistake. His mercy is not based on your performance. You are covered with mercy not just when you measure up but even when you blow it, even when you fail. He can make a miracle out of that mess. Get up every morning and thank God not only for His goodness, but thank Him for His mercy. *Prayer for Today* "Father, thank You for Your mercies that are new every morning and for Your great faithfulness. Thank You that my mistakes and failures are not too much for Your mercy. I believe that I am covered by Your mercy that makes miracles out of mistakes. In Jesus' Name, Amen." #bibleverse #BibleVerseChallenge #blessed #catholic #bible #JesusIsLord #bibleverseoftheday

*It All Can Change in a Day* Today’s Scripture: 2 Kings 7:1 Elisha replied, "The Lord says that by this time tomorrow two gallons of flour or four gallons of barley grain will be sold in the markets of Samaria for a dollar!" *Today’s Word*... An army had surrounded the city of Samaria, cut off the Israelites' food supply, and clogged up their waterways so they couldn't get any water. The people were starving and beyond desperate. When Elisha spoke today's Scripture, the people thought he'd lost his mind. One leader said, "That couldn't happen even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven." Yet if you continue reading the story, it did happen just as Elisha said, miraculously, and there was a sudden abundance of food. For some of the things that seem impossible that they could turn around or happen, you're going to be amazed. You're looking in the natural, but we serve a supernatural God. Get in agreement with God. Believe that things are going to fall into place, opportunity is going to come to you, people will go out of their way to be good to you. You couldn't have made it happen. It's the hand of God. *Prayer for Today* "Father, thank You that when I believe, angels go to work, forces of darkness are pushed back, and things begin to change in my favor. Thank You that whether You do it tomorrow or next year, You will take care of my every need. I believe it's on the way. In Jesus' Name, Amen." #blessed #biblestudy #catholic #bible #bibleverse #bibleverseoftheday #Jesus #Godisgoodallthetime #

Happy Feast of Christ the King. May our Lord and Saviour have mercy on us. Amen #catholic #feast #JesusChrist #JesusIsLord #JesusChristToGodBeTheGlory

Don’t Discount the I Knows Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 1:19 "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land." Today’s Word... We know God speaks to us about righteousness, faith, salvation, and doctrine. But He also talks to us about everyday things such as slowing down on the freeway, not eating so many sweets, forgiving our coworker, and what to watch and not to watch on television or the computer. Sometimes we let small things keep us from God's best. Pay attention to the practical things. You have that knowing on the inside--"I know I need to eat healthier, I know I need to forgive him, I know I need to encourage my friend, I know I need to be more disciplined in my spending." Here's a key: the "know's are God talking to you. Don't discount it, don't push it down. The more you listen to and obey that still, small voice inside, the more God can trust you, the more of His favor He'll release in your life. You will "eat the good of the land." *Prayer for Today* "Father, thank You for Your promise that You will lead me down the best path for my life. Thank You that I don't have to figure out what "I know" You're asking me to do. I believe that obedience in the small leads to Your favor in big ways. In Jesus' Name, Amen." #catholic #bible #bibleverse #Jesus #biblestudy #bibleverseoftheday #wisdom #Godisgoodallthetime

First Sunday of Advent: Beginning the Church's liturgical year, Advent (from, "ad-venire" in Latin or "to come to") is the season encompassing the four Sundays (and weekdays) leading up to the celebration of Christmas. The Advent season is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and also to the anniversary of the Lord’s birth on Christmas. The final days of Advent, from December 17 to December 24, focus particularly... on our preparation for the celebrations of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas). Advent devotions including the Advent wreath, remind us of the meaning of the season. Our Advent calendar above can help you fully enter in to the season with daily activity and prayer suggestions to prepare you spiritually for the birth of Jesus Christ. More Advent resources are listed below. #advent #catholic #Jesus #joytotheworld
