But, returning from the beatitude that is to be, do thou with the eye of contemplation consider for a while the abundance of grace wherewith He hath enriched thee even in this fleeting life. He, very God, whose dwelling is in heaven, whose throne among the angels, He to whom heaven and earth, with all that they contain, do bow down and obey, has offered Himself to thee as thine abode, and furnished and prepared His presence for thee; for, as the Apostle teaches, “in Him we live, and move, and be” (Acts xvii. 28). So to live, how sweet! So to move, how lovable! So to be, how desirable! For what more sweet than to have life in Him who is the very life of bliss itself? What more lovable than to rule each movement of will or act of ours towards Him and in Him, seeing that He will stablish us in an unending security? What more desirable than in aspiration and in act evermore in Him to be, in whom alone — or rather who alone — is true being, and apart from whom none can rightly be? “I AM WHO AM,” He says (Exod. iii. 14); and beautifully said it is, for He alone truly IS, whose Being is unchangeable. He, therefore, whose so unapproached Being is being in so transcendent and unique a sense that He alone truly IS; in comparison of whom all being is no being; when He would create thee to so great excellency that thou couldest not even comprehend the lustre of thy dignity, what did He set as the sphere of thy being, what place of abode did He furnish for thee? Hear Him Himself speaking to His own in the Gospel, “Abide in Me, and I in you” (St. John xv. 4). O inconceivable condescension! O blissful abiding! O glorious interchange! What condescension of the Creator, to will that His creature should in Him have dwelling! What inconceivable blessedness of the creature, to dwell in the Creator! How great glory of a rational creation to be, by so blessed an interchange, associated with the Creator, as that He in it and it in Him should have their dwelling! Yes, He of His mercy has willed that we, so highly ennobled in our creation, should have the farther dignity of dwelling in Him. He, governor of all things, without care or solicitude existing over all; He, source and foundation of all things, without toil sustaining all; He, superexcellent above all things, without vain-glory transcending all; He, embracing each and everything that is, without extension of Himself enfolding all; He, the plenitude of all things, without narrowing of Himself, fulfilling all, — yes, indeed. He, though His Presence is nowhere wanting, has chosen for Himself a kingdom of delights within us; the Gospel bearing witness where it says, “The Kingdom of God is within you” (St. Luke xvii. 21). And if the kingdom of God is within us, and if God dwells in His realm, does not He whose kingdom is within us abide Himself within us? Clearly so; for, in like manner, if God is wisdom, and if the soul of the just is the dwelling of wisdom, he who is truly just has God abiding in him. And the Apostle says, “The temple of God is holy, which temple you are” (1 Cor, iii. 17). Do thou, therefore, apply thyself unweariedly to the pursuit of holiness, lest thou cease to be the temple of God. He Himself says of His own, “I will dwell in them and walk in them” (2 Cor. vi. 16.). Doubt not, therefore, that wherever there are holy souls, there He is in them. For if thou art in those limbs of thine which thou quickenest, wholly and in all their parts, how much more is God, who created thee and thy body, wholly present in thee through and through? It is thy duty, then, to think with most intense devotion with what consideration and what reverence we should control those senses and those members of our body, over which the very Godhead sits in charge. Let us offer, therefore, as is meet, the whole empire of our heart to so great an Indweller, that nothing in us may rebel against Him; but that air our thoughts, all the movements of our will, all our words, and the whole course and tenour of our actions may wait upon His beck, stand obedient to His will, and be conformed to His rule of right. For thus shall we truly be His kingdom, and He will abide in us; and we, abiding in Him, shall live aright. Subscribe for our FREE Newsletter Submit You have been successfully Subscribed! Ops!

Are, then, these so incalculable benefits of thy Creator inducements enough to thee for continual thanksgiving in return, and for discharging the debt of an endless love; when thou considerest that out of nothing — rather, out of clay — thou wast raised by His bounty to so excellent a dignity in the very beginning of thy state? Test thy life, therefore, by the master-feeling of the saints, and note well what is said of the saint, “With his whole heart he praised the Lord” (Ecclus. xlvii. 10). Behold the end of thy creation, behold the task set thee as God’s servant! Why should God have graced thee with the privilege of so illustrious a lot, if He had not willed thee to apply thyself unceasingly to the praise of Himself? Thou wast created for the glory of thy Creator, that, making His praises thy employment, thou mightest ever advance towards Him by the merit of justice in this life, and mightest live happily in the world to come. For the praise of Him yields the fruit of justice here, and of beatitude hereafter. And if thou praise Him, praise Him with all thy heart, praise Him by loving; for this rule of praising has been laid down for the saints — “With all his heart he praised the Lord, and loved God who made him” (ib.). Praise then, and praise with all thy heart; and whom thou praisest, love; for, for this wast thou created, to praise Him, and to love Him also. For that man praises God, but not with all his heart, who is charmed by prosperity into blessing God, but checked by adversity from the privilege of blessing; whilst that man praises, but without loving, who amid his praises of God seeks for some other good in praising than God Himself. Praise therefore, and praise aright; in such wise that there be in thee no care, no aim, no thought, no anxious bent of mind, uninspired by praise of God, grace helping thee. From praise of Him let no prosperity of this present life seduce thee, nor no adversity restrain thee; for thus shalt thou praise Him with all thy heart. But when thou shalt praise Him with all thy heart, and praise with the homage of thy love as well, then wilt thou desire nothing from Him but Himself, and thou wilt pray that the object of thy longing may be God; the reward of thy toil, God; thy solace in this life of shadows, God; thy possession in that blissful life to come, God. Yes, indeed, thou wast created for this; to praise Him, and to praise Him without end; which thou wilt then more fully understand when, entranced by the blessed vision of Himself, thou shalt see that by His sole and gratuitous goodness thou, when thou wast not, wast created out of nothing; so blessed, and to such unspeakable bliss created; created, called, justified, glorified. Such a contemplation as that will give thee an untiring love of praising Him without end; from whom, and through whom, and in whom thou wilt rejoice in being blessed with blessings so great and so unchangeable.

Awake, my soul, awake; bestir thy energies, arouse thy apprehension; banish the sluggishness of thy deadly sloth, and take to thee solicitude for thy salvation. Be the rambling of improfitable fancies put to flight; let indolence retire, and diligence be retained. Apply thyself to sacred studies, and fix thy thoughts on the blessings that are of God. Leave temporal things behind, and make for the eternal. What, then, in so divine an occupation of the mind, canst thou conceive more useful or more salutary than to recall in delighted musing thy Creator’s boundless benefits to thee? Consider what grandeur and what dignity He bestowed on thee in the very beginning of thy creation, and ponder well what loving and what adoring worship thou shouldest therefore pay Him. It was assuredly a noble purpose which He formed for the dignity of thy state, when, creating and ordering the universal frame of the visible and the invisible creation, He determined to make man; for He determined to lavish richer honours on man’s nature than on all other creations in the universe. Behold thy lofty origin, and bethink thee of the due of love thou owest thy Creator. “Let Us make man,” said God, “to Our Image and Likeness” (Gen. i. 26). If thou awakest not at this word, O my soul; if thou art not all aflame with love of Him for His so ineffable graciousness of condescension towards thee; if thine inmost marrow burns not with longings after Him, what shall I say? Asleep shall I call thee? Or must I rather think thee dead? Consider diligently, therefore, what it is to have been created to God’s Image and God’s Likeness; thou hast in this thought the sweet earnest of a pious meditation in which thy musings may have full play. Observe, then, that likeness is one thing; image another. For example, the horse, the ox, or other dumb animal may have a certain likeness to man; but the image of man is borne by none but a human being. Man eats, so does the horse; here is a certain likeness, a certain something common to creatures of diverse moulds. But the image of man is only borne by some human being, some being of selfsame nature with that man whose image he is. Image, therefore, is of a higher order than likeness. God’s Likeness, then, may be attained by us in this way; if, musing on Him as the Good, we study to be good; if, owning Him the Just, we strive to be just; if, contemplating Him the Merciful, we make endeavours after mercy. But how to His Image? Listen. God ever remembers Himself, understands Himself, loves Himself. If thou, therefore, after thy poor fashion, art unweariedly mindful of God, if thou understandest God, if thou lovest God, thou wilt then be man “to His Image;” for thou wilt be striving to do that which God does eternally. ‘Tis the duty of man to bend his whole being to this task; the task of remembering, of understandings and of loving the Highest Good. To this idea should every thought and every turn and folding of thy heart be moulded, chased, and formed; to be mindful of God, to understand Him, and to love Him; and thus savingly exhibit and display the dignity of thine origin in that thou wast created to the Image of God. But why say that thou wast created to His Image, when, as the Apostle testifies, thou art indeed His Image? “The man,” he says, “ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God” (1 Cor. xii. 7).

GENERATIONAL SPIRITS: FREEMASONRY & DELIVERANCE

I don’t know to what degree, but he was at least a third degree. He was shown in his apron and had a masonic funeral. My dad and his wife, my sister, my aunts, and my cousins all attended. I remember it now, but for 30 years I had no memory of it.About two years ago I discovered the walking encyclopedia of Catholic spiritual warfare, Fr.Chad Ripperger. It took a few months to listen to every one of his conferences. I binged themback-to-back, entirely riveted, and ready to hear the wisdom of the church through this very knowledgeable priest. At the time I had recently returned to the Sacrament of Penance after years of minimizing, if not avoiding my own sinfulness and not confessing everything. I prepared for nearly a month for that confession, and finally was able to leave in the confessional many, many burdens that I carried around with me for years. When I finished, my confessor advised me to go to confession onceper month. I’ve missed only once. I now cling to the sacrament of confession with my very soul. I reached Father’s 3-part series on generational spirits. These are demons that attach themselves to families, due to persistent sin, curses, or occult practices. A family might have a generationalspirit when clear patterns of behavior seem to be passed down through their lineage. To root that spirit out, it is important to know exactly what kind of spirit one is dealing with. Fr. Ripperger says in part one of the conference, “precision is everything. You can pray until the cows come home, but you’re not going to get him out of your lineage until you know exactly what his angle is, that is, his nature.”I started thinking that there must be a generational spirit affecting my family. My grandfather was protestant, but my father decided to convert to Catholicism when he was 18. I was raised Catholic and have always loved my faith. I worked in a Catholic bookstore at one time. I went toMass regularly. I attended Catholic conferences, bible studies, retreat weekends, and rosary cenacles. And still I found myself several times over the years gravely backsliding into terrible behaviors, behaviors I seem to share with many members of my family. Note that this is not an attempt to sidestep blame. I bear the responsibility of all my sins, even those I committed when listening to the promptings of a family spirit. I could have said no. I could have confessed far better than I did over the years. I am very much aware that my weaknesses were, and still are, mine. I am a sinner, after all, susceptible to temptation, constantly in need of repentance when I take the bait. In the second part of the conference, Fr. Ripperger explains how to determine which generational spirit is attacking your lineage. He suggests meditation to calm the emotions in order to examine the self objectively; praying to your guardian angel who protects us from the unseen forces thatattack us; and asking the Blessed Mother under the title Our Lady of Sorrows to reveal the nature of the afflicting demon. Our Lady and St. Joseph took Jesus to Simeon, and he told Our Lady, “And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed. (Lk 2:35)” Fr. Ripperger explains that, according to the Church Fathers, “St. Simeon recounted to her everything her Son was going to go through in the passion.” From that moment, she knew the world would reject her Son, and thus reject God. She carried this pain with her from that moment on. Our Lady shares the most intimate relationship with Our Lord. He withholds nothing from her, and if He wills it, allows her to reveal certain details with us. I asked Our Lady of Sorrows to reveal to me the nature of the generational spirit in my family.The next day, I woke up with the memory of my grandfather in his casket wearing a masonic apron, and three men wearing aprons conducting the funeral.I have in my personal library several books about freemasonry. Some have been in my collection for over 20 years. These books did not stir my memory. Neither did learning from my husband that his grandfather was also a mason. I replied that there are no masons in my family. Even when watching Fr. Ripperger’s generational spirits conferences, I actually thought to myself, “wow, I’m sure glad there are no masons in my family,” while he was describing the deliverance generational effects of a masonic curse. It’s not that I didn’t believe Our Lady. It of course was true. Recall, though, what Fr. Ripperger says: “precision is everything.” I looked up my grandfather’s obituary and found on the same page the announcement of his masonic funeral. I called my sister to tell her what I discovered. She also had no memory of our grandfather’sfuneral. She suffered from the same kinds of backsliding that I did, but to a lesser degree. There is an intense temptation toward impulsive, intemperate behaviors, such as alcohol or drug use and promiscuity attached to this curse. Broken families, abuse and molestation are all effects ofthe masonic curse. All these behaviors and effects are rampant in our family. The insidious part is that these behaviors and effects are also how the curse is perpetuated through the generations. Child death is an effect of the masonic curse. My sister had a miscarriage. Respiratory illnesses are another effect, from which…

Proverbs 25:28 says: “Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control” In Ancient days, the wall of the city protected it against invasion from enemies. Even a small opening in a wall meant that the entire city lay open to attack. So many of the Proverbs are about self-control.“If you find honey, eat just enough,” wrote the wise man. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit that guards us, protecting us from losing ground to impatience, bitterness, greed, and other pests that can intrude and destroy Gods harvest in our lives. (Gal 5:22-23) Self-control is a healthy-mindedness that watches for the holes in the walls of our lives and keeps them patched.When I inspect the perimeter of my life, I can at times see vulnerable holes. A spot where I give in to temptation over and over.An area of impatience. How I need the healthy-minded self control of God in my life to guard me from such intruders.

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Humble yourself before Him, and ask His Aid. Considerations 1. Once more imagine yourself in an open plain, alone with your guardian Angel, and represent to yourself on the left hand the Devil sitting on a high and mighty throne, surrounded by a vast troop of worldly men, who bow bareheaded before him, doing homage to him by the various sins they commit. Study the countenances of the miserable courtiers of that most abominable king: some raging with fury, envy and passion, some murderous in their hatred; others pale and haggard in their craving after wealth, or madly pursuing every vain and profitless pleasure; others sunk and lost in vile, impure affections. See how all alike are hateful, restless, wild: see how they despise one another, and only pretend to an unreal self-seeking love. Such is the miserable reign of the abhorred Tyrant. 2. On the other hand, behold Jesus Christ Crucified, calling these unhappy wretches to come to Him, and interceding for them with all the Love of His Precious Heart. Behold the company of devout souls and their guardian Angels, contemplate the beauty of this religious Kingdom. What lovelier than the troop of virgin souls, men and women, pure as lilies: widows in their holy desolation and humility; husbands and wives living in all tender love and mutual cherishing. See how such pious souls know how to combine their exterior and interior duties; to love the earthly spouse without diminishing their devotion to the Heavenly Bridegroom. Look around, one and all you will see them with loving, holy, gentle countenances listening to the Voice of their Lord, all seeking to enthrone Him more and more within their hearts. They rejoice, but it is with a peaceful, loving, sober joy; they love, but their love is altogether holy and pure. Such among these devout ones as have sorrows to bear, are not disheartened thereby, and do not grieve overmuch, for their Saviour’s Eye is upon them to comfort them, and they all seek Him only. 3. Surely you have altogether renounced Satan with his weary miserable troop, by the good resolutions you have made; but nevertheless you have not yet wholly attained to the King Jesus, or altogether joined His blessed company of devout ones: you have hovered betwixt the two. 4. The Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph, St. Louis, St. Monica, and hundreds of thousands more who were once like you, living in the world, call upon you and encourage you. 5. The Crucified King Himself calls you by your own name: Come, O my beloved, come, and let Me crown thee! The Choice 1. O world, O vile company, never will I enlist beneath thy banner; for ever I have forsaken thy flatteries and deceptions. O proud king, monarch of evil, infernal spirit, I renounce thee and all thy hollow pomp, I detest thee and all thy works. 2. And turning to Thee, O Sweet Jesus, King of blessedness and of eternal glory, I cleave to Thee with all the powers of my soul, I adore Thee with all my heart, I choose Thee now and ever for my King, and with inviolable fidelity I would offer my irrevocable service, and submit myself to Thy holy laws and ordinances. 3. O Blessed Virgin Mother of God, you shall be my example, I will follow you with all reverence and respect. O my good Angel, bring me to this heavenly company, leave me not until I have reached them, with whom I will sing for ever, in testimony of my choice, Glory be to Jesus, my Lord!

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Humble yourself before Him, and ask His inspiration. Considerations 1. Imagine yourself alone with your good angel in an open plain, as was Tobit on his way to Rages. Suppose the Angel to set before you Paradise, full of delights and joys; and on the other hand Hell, with all its torments. Contemplate both, kneeling in imagination before your guardian Angel. Consider that you are most truly standing between Hell and Paradise, and that both the one and the other are open to receive you, according to your own choice. 2. Consider that the choice you make in this life will last for ever in the next. 3. Consider too, that while both are open to receive you according to your choice, yet God, Who is prepared to give the one by reason of His Justice, the other by reason of His Mercy, all the while desires unspeakably that you should select Paradise; and your good Angel is urging you with all his might to do so, offering you countless graces on God’s part, countless helps to attain to it. 4. Consider that Jesus Christ, enthroned in Heaven, looks down upon you in loving invitation: O beloved one, come unto Me, and joy for ever in the eternal blessedness of My Love! Behold His mother yearning over you with maternal tenderness, Courage, my child, do not despise the Goodness of my Son, or my earnest prayers for thy salvation. Behold the Saints, who have left you their example, the millions of holy souls who long after you, desiring earnestly that you may one day be for ever joined to them in their song of praise, urging upon you that the road to Heaven is not so hard to find as the world would have you think. Press on boldly, dear friend, they cry. Whoso will ponder well the path by which we came hither, will discover that we attained to these present delights by sweeter joys than any this world can give. The Choice 1. O Hell, I abhor thee now and for ever; I abhor thy griefs and torments, thine endless misery, the unceasing blasphemies and maledictions which thou pourest out upon my God; and turning to thee, O blessed Paradise, eternal glory, unfading happiness, I choose thee for ever as my abode, thy glorious mansions, thy precious and abiding tabernacles. O my God, I bless Thy Mercy which gives me the power to choose, O Jesus, Saviour, I accept Thine Eternal Love, and praise Thee for the promise Thou hast given me of a place prepared for me in that blessed New Jerusalem, where I shall love and bless Thee for ever. 2. Dwell lovingly upon the example set before you by the Blessed Virgin and the Saints, and strive to follow where they point you. Give yourself up to your guardian Angel, that he may be your guide, and gird up your courage anew to make this choice. Subscribe for our FREE Newsletter Submit You have been successfully Subscribed!

Powerful Supplication For A Grace Saint Monica, Mother of Saint Augustine: life and prayer Saint Monica is one of the greatest examples of a Christian woman, wife and mother; thanks to her prayers, St. Augustine converted to Christianity. The story Monica was born in 331 in Tagaste, in present-day Algeria, in a lying family; She received a good education and from a young age he read and meditated on the Bible. A Christian woman, cultured and free, therefore, with a heart oriented to spiritual treasures. What we know about her biography is derived from the writings of Augustine: in particular in the Confessions the great bishop retraces his tortuous, troubled personal history and often speaks to us of his mother. We know, therefore, that Monica married Patrick and that she gave birth to three children. Her husband was a man of harsh and difficult character, whom she nevertheless knew how to welcome with sweetness and also approach the faith and who was baptized in 371, shortly before her death. Monica, at the age of 39, found herself alone at the helm of the house, also having to take over the administration of the goods. We know that to her three children the woman passed on Christian education from an early age. Augustine himself says that he drank the name of Jesus together with his mother’s milk and that he was inscribed, as soon as he was born, among the catechumens. Growing up, however, came, as is known, the estrangement: the young man took other paths, seduced by the rhetoric and philosophical-religious currents most in vogue in those years, such as Manichaeism, but above all he began an unscrupulous and unregulated life, between Carthage and Rome. This is not why Monica gave up, but continued to accompany her son with love and prayer. In 385 we find her in Milan, where Augustine taught rhetoric. And it was precisely there that the great change took place: thanks to the preaching of Saint Ambrose, after so many hardships, Augustine embraced the Christian faith, setting out on that path of holiness that we know well today and that has left an indelible mark over the centuries. Monica was present at her baptism in 387. Since then the two have not separated. Determined to embark on a monastic life, Augustine decided to return to Africa, stopping, as an intermediate stage, in Ostia. It is in this place, in the serene quiet of a home, that spiritual conversations of extraordinary intensity took place between mother and son, which Augustine chose to transcribe and which still today represent a guide for many seekers of God. There the saint fell ill, perhaps of malaria and in nine days she died, she was 56 years old. It was August 27, 387. Monica’s tenacity, sweetness and sensitivity make her the patron saint of married women, mothers and widows. (Source santiebeati.it – Author: Lorenzo Montanaro) Prayer To St Monica Wife and mother of unspeakable evangelical virtues, to whom the Good Lord has granted Grace, through her unshakable faith before every tribulation and her constant trusting prayer, to see her husband Patrick and her son Augustine converted, accompany and guide us, brides and mothers on our arduous journey towards holiness. Saint Monica, you who have reached the peaks of the Most High, from above watch and intercede for us who are floundering in the dust among a thousand and a thousand difficulties. To you we entrust our children, make them a beautiful copy of your Augustine and give us the joy of living with them moments of intense spirituality as you lived in Ostia, to be together where you are. Collect all our tears, water the wood of the Cross of our Jesus so that abundant heavenly and eternal graces may flow from it! Saint Monica pray and intercede for all of us. Amen!

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Invoke His Aid. Considerations 1. Represent to yourself a lovely calm night, when the heavens are bright with innumerable stars: add to the beauty of such a night the utmost beauty of a glorious summer’s day, the sun’s brightness not hindering the clear shining of moon or stars, and then be sure that it all falls immeasurably short of the glory of Paradise. O bright and blessed country, O sweet and precious place! 2. Consider the beauty and perfection of the countless inhabitants of that blessed country; the millions and millions of angels, Cherubim and Seraphim; the glorious company of Apostles, martyrs, confessors, virgins, and saints. O blessed company, any one single member of which surpasses all the glory of this world, what will it be to behold them all, to sing with them the sweet Song of the Lamb? They rejoice with a perpetual joy, they share a bliss unspeakable, and unchangeable delights. 3. Consider how they enjoy the Presence of God, Who fills them with the richness of His Vision, which is a perfect ocean of delight; the joy of being for ever united to their Head. They are like happy birds, hovering and singing for ever within the atmosphere of divinity, which fills them with inconceivable pleasures. There each one vies without jealousy in singing the praises of the Creator. Blessed art Thou for ever, O Dear and Precious Lord and Redeemer, Who dost so freely give us of Thine Own Glory, they cry; and He in His turn pours out His ceaseless Blessing on His Saints. Blessed are ye, Mine own for ever, who have served Me faithfully, and with a good courage. Affections and Resolutions 1. Admire and rejoice in the Heavenly Country; the glorious and blessed New Jerusalem. 2. Reprove the coldness of your own heart for having hitherto so little sought after that glorious abode. Why have I so long lingered indifferent to the eternal happiness set before me? Woe is me that, for the sake of poor savourless earthly things, I have so often forgotten those heavenly delights. How could I neglect such real treasures for mere vain and contemptible earthly matters? 3. Aspire earnestly after that blessed abode. Forasmuch, O Dear Lord, as Thou hast been pleased to turn my feet into Thy ways, never will I again look back. Go forth, my soul, towards thy promised rest, journey unweariedly to that hoped-for land; wherefore shouldest thou tarry in Egypt? 4. Resolve to give up such and such things, which hinder you on the way, and to do such others as will help you thitherwards. Give thanks, offer, pray.
