Repent and return to God with your whole heart. Do not put off your conversion. Let us pray for each other, all of humanity. We are living in a time of chastisement. The time of ignorance of God is over. GIF 2022
Eternal Father, I offer to you the Most Precious Blood of your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
(A prayer taught by Our Lord to St. Gertrude, to release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said.)
Surrender to God
The Surrender Novena
The words of Jesus to Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo…
Day 1 Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 2 Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act. Saying “You take care of it.”
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 3 How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need turns to me, looks at me and says to me; “You take care of it,” then close its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: “Hallowed be thy Name”, that is, be glorified in my need. “Thy kingdom come”, that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven”, that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: “Thy will be done”. Which is the same as saying: “You take care of it”. I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 4 You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry, Close your eyes and say to me with faith: “Thy will be done, You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say “You take care of it.” I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 5 And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 6 You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse- to men themselves, trusting in their intervention,- this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 7 I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think about it anymore, because you mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things; I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 8 Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say “You take care of it.” I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 9 Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it.” Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this.
Perfect in creation. He gave it all for you and me.
Honor our Mother, Mary
Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen
The Spiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The Universal Prayer
Prayer of praise, petition, offering and adoration
Lord, I believe in you: increase my faith. I trust in you: strengthen my trust. I love you: let me love you more and more. I am sorry for my sins: deepen my sorrow.
I worship you as my first beginning, I long for you as my last end, I praise you as my constant helper, and call on you as my loving protector.
Guide me by your wisdom, correct me with your justice, Comfort me with your mercy, Protect me with your power.
I offer you, Lord, my thoughts: to be fixed on you.
My words: to have you for their theme; My actions: to reflect my love for you; My sufferings: to be endured for your greater glory.
I want to do what you ask of me: In the way you ask, for as long as you ask, because you ask it.
Lord, enlighten my understanding, strengthen my will, purify my heart, and make me holy.
Help me to repent of my past sins and to resist temptation in the future.
Help me to rise above my human weaknesses and to grow stronger as a Christian.
Let me love you, my Lord and my God, and see myself as I really am: a pilgrim in this world, a Christian called to respect and love all whose lives I touch, those under my authority, my friends and my enemies.
Help me to conquer anger with gentleness, greed by generosity, apathy by fervor.
Help me to forget myself and reach out toward others.
Make me prudent in planning, Courageous in taking risks. Make me patient in suffering, unassuming in prosperity.
Keep me, Lord, attentive at prayer, temperate in food and drink, diligent in my work, firm in my good intentions.
Let my conscience be clear, my conduct without fault, my speech blameless, my life well-ordered. Put me on guard against my human weaknesses.
Let me cherish your love for me, keep your law, and come at last to your salvation.
Teach me to realize that this world is passing, that my true future is the happiness of heaven, that life on earth is short,
and the life to come eternal.
Help me to prepare for death with a proper fear of judgment, but a greater trust in your goodness.
Lead me safely through death to the endless joy of heaven.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer of Jesus - The Unity Prayer
My adorable Jesus…
May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to the silence together.
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.
Oración de Jesús - La Oración de la Unidad
Mi adorable Jesús
Que nuestros pies vayan juntos;
que nuestras manos recojan unidas;
que nuestros corazones latan al unísono;
que nuestro interior sienta lo mismo;
que el pensamiento de nuestras mentes sea uno;
que nuestros oídos escuchen juntos el silencio;
que nuestras miradas se compenetren profundamente, fundiéndose la una en la otra,
que nuestros labios supliquen juntos al Eterno Padre para alcanzar misericordia.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give thee my heart and my soul.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, assist me in my last agony.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, may I breathe forth my soul in peace with thee.
From Favorite Prayers to St. Joseph, Tan Books.
Jesús, María y José
Jesús, María y José, te doy mi corazón y mi alma.
Jesús, María y José, ayúdame en mi última agonía.
Jesús, María y José, que respire mi alma en paz contigo.
Oración Universal del Papa Clemente XI
Oración de alabanza, petición, ofrecimiento, y adoración.
Creo en Ti, Señor... pero ayúdame a creer con firmeza.
Espero en ti... pero ayúdame a esperar sin desconfianza.
Te amo Señor... pero ayúdame a no volver a ofenderte.
Te adoro Señor, por que eres mi creador y te anhelo porque eres mi fin.
Te alabo por que no te cansas de hacerme el bien, y me refugio en Ti porque eres mi protector.
Que Tu sabiduría Señor, me dirija, y Tu justicia me reprima.
Que Tu misericordia me consuele y Tu poder me defienda.
Te ofrezco, Señor, mis pensamientos, te ofrezco mis palabras, ayúdame a hablar de ti.
Te ofrezco mis obras, ayúdame a cumplir tu voluntad.
Te ofrezco mis penas, ayúdame a sufrir por Ti.
Todo aquello que quieras Tú, Señor, lo que quiero yo, precisamente porque lo quieres Tú, como Tú lo quieras y durante todo el tiempo que lo quieras.
Te pido Señor que ilumines mi entendimiento, que fortalezcas mi voluntad, que purifiques mi corazón y santifiques mi espíritu.
Señor, hazme llorar mis pecados, rechazar las tentaciones, vencer mis
inclinaciones al mal y cultivar las virtudes.
Dame Tu gracia, Señor, para amarte y olvidarme de mí, para buscar el bien de mi prójimo sin tenerle miedo al mundo.
Dame la gracia para ser obediente con mis superiores, comprensivo con mis inferiores, solícito con mis amigos y generoso con mi enemigo.
Ayúdame, Señor, a superar con austeridad al placer, con generosidad la avaricia, con amabilidad la ira y con fervor la tibieza.
Que sepa yo tener prudencia, Señor, al aconsejar; valor en los peligros, paciencia en las dificultades, sencillez en los éxitos.
Concédeme, Señor, atención al orar, sobriedad al comer, responsabilidad en mi trabajo y firmeza en mis propósitos.
Ayúdame a conservar la pureza del alma, a ser modesto en mis actitudes, ejemplar en mi trato con el prójimo y verdaderamente cristiano en mi conducta.
Concédeme tu ayuda para dominar mis instintos, para fomentar en mí Tu gracia, para cumplir Tus mandamientos y obtener mi salvación
Enséñame, Señor, a comprender la pequeñez de lo terreno, la grandeza de lo divino, la brevedad de esta vida y la eternidad de la futura.
Concédeme, Señor, una buena preparación para la muerte y un santo temor al juicio, para librarme del infierno y obtener Tu gloria. Por Cristo Nuestro Señor. Amén.
The Time is Now
I’m not typing this to scare anyone, but we are living in very troubling times. I don’t have to post news links, or YouTube videos. We must search our souls and be remorseful of our sins.
If you find you’ve strayed a little from God, postponed your prayer time (no judging…) or dismissed your personal conversion, don’t block God from preparing you.
Pray the Rosary and if you have time, more than once. It’s a powerful weapon in our arsenal to combat the spiritual warfare we’re in. Keep in mind the Mystical Prayers of our Lord Jesus Christ. Look to the links to the Devotion to the PB of JC on this webpage.
