The Espousal of the Blessed Virgin Mary with Saint Joseph

Hail, holy Mother! giving birth to thy Child, thou didst bring forth the King, who ruleth the heavens and the earth for ever and ever. [Ps.] My heart hath uttered a good word. I speak my works to the King. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Hail..

COLLECT OF SAINT JOSEPH
We beseech Thee, O Lord, that we may be helped by the merits of the Spouse of Thy most holy Mother, so that what we cannot obtain of ourselves may be given to us through his intercession.

100 Days: Masses, Prayers and Fasting for Our New President

100 Days:
Masses, Prayers and Fasting for Our New President,
Our Leaders and Our World in the Most Holy Divine Will
January 20 (Inauguration Day) – April 29, 2017
(Feast of St. Catherine of Siena)

In the Divine Will in the name of everyone and everything past, present and future in all the Masses, prayers and fasting for our future President, our Leaders and our Families so that the Kingdom of God may be established on earth as it is in Heaven.
We will attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as often as we can and pray the Holy Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Litany’s and other devotional prayers like the Precious Blood or Mary Undoer of Knots always in the Most Holy Divine Will especially with The Command Prayer. (below)
The Children of America will then become what as Our Lady of America prophesized to Sr Mildred that they will bring Purity to the world. Our new President and those chosen to work alongside him need our continued support of prayers, fasting and Masses in the Most Holy Divine Will.
We will continue to pray in the Most Holy Divine Will to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit to bring changes that shall prepare our nation and the world for the coming of the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven.

During these 100 Days continue to pray for our country in the Divine Will to:
defend the life of the unborn
select pro-life Supreme Court justices
promote religious liberty
defend the sanctity of marriage and family life
and for the Kingdom of God to come on earth as it is in Heaven

The Command Prayer 

Abba Father,
In the name of Jesus
Through the Power
of the Holy Spirit
under the Mantle of Mary
through the Intercession of
all the Angels and Saints and
The Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta
take my humble prayer
and make it Your Command.
that all be accomplished and completed
In Your Most Holy Divine Will.
Fiat!

Amen!

The Saint Andrew Christmas Novena

st_andrew_the_apostle_iconThe Saint Andrew Christmas Novena is often called simply the “Christmas Anticipation Prayer,”

it is prayed 15 times every day from the Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle (November 30) until Christmas.

It is addressed to God Himself, asking Him to grant our request in honor of the birth of His Son at Christmas.

The prayer is prayed 15 times each day, all at once; or divide up the recitation as necessary (perhaps five times at each meal).

A very good way to help focus the attention of your children on the Advent Season.

 

The Saint Andrew Christmas Novena

“Hail and blessed be the hour and moment
in which the Son of God
was born of the Most Pure Virgin Mary,
at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold.
In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God!
to hear my prayer and grant my desires,
through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ,
and of His Blessed Mother.” Amen.
