God grants requests of his children providing we are contrite in heart and it will benefit our spiritual development. To live in Christ is to accept the will of the Heavenly Father. We must pray constantly for grace and the favour of His guidance. To live by human will is to question God's authority and a sin against the Holy Spirit.
Come Holy Spirit
TO RA - August 3,2002 -Thank you for explaining The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. TM
To the person who gave thanks for food and electricity: thank you for reminding us to be grateful for the basic things in life. We take our blessings for granted, but you reminded us that many people don't have the necessities of life. God bless you and those who are struggling to make ends meet. DR
GOD'S HEART OF LOVE. God will never leave you empty. If he takes something away, He will replace it with something better. If He denies your request in a certain area, it is because He wishes to give you what is best. If He asks you to put something down, it is so you can pick up something greater. God is not the great refuser, but the great giver. He is not a robber, but the bestower of every good and perfect gift. (author roy lessin) GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Holy Mary, Mother of God, I offer my love and affection in celebration of the true anniversary of your birth. O' Queen of Heaven and Gracious Advocate of all who seek your intercession, I pray before you now for the healing and restoration of the loving relationship I shared with M. Please heal her of all hurt and grief from past family problems. Blessed Virgin, I implore you to remove all fear and doubt she has about whether our relationship could flourish and grow. O' Loving Star of the Sea, please look into my heart and know that my love for M is real and unfailing. I ask you to honor the commitment I make before you, and bestow a special blessing that our paths may be free from obstacles and that our hearts find one another again in love and commitment. My request is an honorable one, and I promise I will not let you or her down - I will not fail her. Holy Mary, always willing to offer comfort and strength to those in distress, I plead with you now - with all respect and humility - please re-unite me with the woman I love; a woman so blessed with inner and outer beauty, and so full of virtue and goodness, that she most assuredly had to have been Heaven sent in response to my prayers. I appeal to you as one who was blessed with a loving marriage during your time on earth - let me experience that same joy and love with the wonderful woman I began a relationship with last year, but am now apart from because of her doubts and grief over past hurt. Please hear and answer my prayers Blessed Mother, and I will forever sing your praises. I ask all this, bold as it may seem, in the name of your Son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ - through whom all good things come. Amen and Happy Birthday!
Thank You Dearest Jesus for all the wonderful things you have given me in my 45 years, such as Faith, Church, my wonderful Family, my Health, my job. Please help me to be a better person and a better Christian.

Prayer for the Acceptance of God's Will... O Lord, I do not know what to ask You. You alone know my real needs, and You love me more than I even know how to love. Enable me to discern my true needs which are hidden from me. I ask for neither a cross nor a consolation but simply wait in patience for You. My heart is open to You. For Your great mercy's sake, come to me and help me. Put Your mark on me and heal me, cast me down and raise me up. I silently adore Your holy will and Your inscrutable ways. I offer myself in sacrifice to You and put all my trust in You. I desire only to know Your will. Teach me how to pray. Amen.
Holy Trinity O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly.I offer thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges & indifferences by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of thee the conversion of poor sinners.
Act of Reparation Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the outrages unceasingly offered to Thee, we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the name of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee! The more Thy mysteries are blasphemed, the more firmly we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus! The more impiety endeavors to extinguish our hopes of immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart, sole hope of mankind! The more hearts resist Thy Divine attractions, the more we shall love Thee, O infinitely amiable heart of Jesus! The more unbelief attacks Thy Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly we shall adore It, O Divine Heart of Jesus! The more Thy holy laws are transgressed and ignored, the more we shall delight to observe them, O most holy Heart of Jesus! The more Thy Sacraments are despised and abandoned, the more frequently we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most liberal Heart of Jesus! The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice them, O Heart, model of every virtue! The more the devil labors to destroy souls, the more we shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart of Jesus, zealous Lover of souls! The more sin and impurity destroy the image of God in man, the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living temple of the Holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus! The more Thy Holy Church is despised, the more we shall endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart of Jesus! The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more we will honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy Church, show our fidelity and pray for him, O kingly Heart of Jesus! O Sacred Heart, through Thy powerful grace, may we become Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world, and be Thy crown in the kingdom of heaven. Amen.
St. Josephine Bakhite was a Sudanese woman who was kidnapped by slave traders and brutally abused until she was purchased by an Italian family. While in Italy, she obtained her freedom and became a nun. She prayed for those who had kidnapped and mistreated her. She was a loving, humble, gentle person, and children were especially fond of her. The prayer below is to obtain her help and intercession, not only for our needs but for those who are still being sold into slavery in the Sudan.
Prayer to Saint Josephine Bakhita Canossian Daughters of Charity Daughter of Africa "Universal Sister" Loving God, rewarder of the humble, you blessed St. Josephine Bakhita with charity and patience.

By serving you as she did, may we please you by our faith and our actions.

Please recite the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy Our Lord said to Blessed Faustine "Unceasingly recite this chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death ... Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this chaplet even once, will receive grace from My infinite mercy [687]". "Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given to you [1541]. ... Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who will recite this chaplet [848] ... Through the chaplet you will obtain anything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will [1731] ... I want the whole world to know My infinite mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My mercy [687]. By this Novena, I will grant every possible grace to souls [796]".
**The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy** (To be said on the Rosary Beads) Begins with: Our Father...Hail Mary...The Apostles Creed. On the Our Father Beads you will say: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world". On the ten Hail Mary beads you will say: "For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world". After the five decades recite three times: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world". Thank You Dear Jesus for everything! R.A

To the person who can't go on: I was once where you are now. At one of my darkest moments a stranger came over to me and said "remember in order for us to one day receive a great testimony - we must first go thru great tests on earth" You will pass your difficult test. We are all praying for you. It is 10:45am on Friday, August 2. I will go to church and light a candle. I am feeling a little low myself today - that is why I needed to ask for some extra help from my friends and pray for me. God never comes to soon or too late - he always gets there just in time. He's on his way don't give up. TLM
