Eternal Father, I desire to rest in your heart this night.I make the intention of offering you every beat of my heart, joining to them as many acts of love and desire.I pray that even while I’m asleep, I will bring back to You souls that offend You.I ask forgiveness for the whole world,especially for those who know You and yet sin.I offer to You my every breath and heartbeat,as a prayer of reparation.

According to the Bible, the story of Satan’s fall from heaven is described in the book of Isaiah and the book of Revelation. It is said that before the creation of humanity, there was a rebellion in heaven led by the archangel Lucifer, who was one of the most beautiful and powerful angels. He became proud and arrogant, desiring to be worshiped like God himself, and sought to overthrow God and take His throne. But God, who is all-knowing and all-seeing, knew of Lucifer’s rebellion and cast him out of heaven along with a third of the angels who followed him. They were banished to the earth, where Lucifer became known as Satan, which means “adversary” or “enemy.” Satan and his followers continued to rebel against God, tempting and deceiving humanity in an attempt to turn them away from God and towards evil. But God promised to send a savior who would conquer Satan and redeem humanity, and this promise was fulfilled through the coming of Jesus Christ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK3zumP2W3s&t=139s

by St. Therese the Little Flower (often said while meditating upon an image of the face of Christ) O Jesus, who in Thy bitter passion didst become “the most abject of men, a man of sorrow,” I venerate Thy sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now It has become as it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless under those disfigured features, I recognize Thine infinite Love, and I am consumed with desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. The tears which well up so abundantly in Thy sacred eyes appear to me as so many precious pearls that I love to gather up, in order to purchase the souls of poor sinners by means of their infinite value. O Jesus, whose adorable Face ravishes my heart, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and to set me on fire with Thy love, that so I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen
Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts and minds of thy faithful servants, and inflame them with the fire of thy divine love. Let us pray O God, who by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, didst instruct the hearts of thy faithful servants; grant us in the same Spirit, to discern what is right, and enjoy his comfort for ever, Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth one God, with thee and the same Spirit, world without end. Amen.
Waiting seasons can be really frustrating and we oftentimes want to take things into our own hands. We wonder why God is making us wait so long. Although it doesn’t make sense in our eyes, God always has a reason for making us wait. We have to trust God and trust that He is working! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7sPA4n98VI
O Jesus, Divine Saviour, deign to cast a look of mercy upon Your children, who assemble in the same spirit of faith, reparation, and love, and come to deplore their own infidelities, and those of all poor sinners, their brethren. May we touch Your Divine Heart by the unanimous and solemn promises we are about to make and obtain mercy for ourselves, for the world, and for all who are so unhappy as not to love You. We all promise that for the future: For the forgetfulness and ingratitude of men, we will console You, O Lord.For the way You are deserted in Your holy tabernacle,For the crimes of sinners,For the hatred of the impious,For the blasphemies uttered against You,For the sacrileges that profane Your Sacrament of Love,For the outrages against Your divinity,For the injuries of which You are the adorable Victim,For the coldness of the greater part of your children,For the contempt of your loving invitation,For the infidelity of those who called themselves Your friends,For the abuse of Your grace,For our own unfaithfulness,For the incomprehensible hardness of our hearts,For our long delay in loving You,For our tepidity in Your holy service,For Your bitter sadness at the loss of souls,For Your long waiting at the door of our hearts,For the heartless scorn that grieves You,For Your loving sighs,For Your loving tears,For Your loving imprisonment,For Your loving death, Let us pray O Jesus! Divine Saviour, from whose Heart comes forth this bitter complaint, “I looked for one that would comfort me, and I found none,” graciously accept the feeble consolation we offer You, and aid us so powerfully by your grace, that we may, for the time to come, shun more and more all that can displease You, and prove ourselves in everything, and everywhere, and forever Your most faithful and devoted servants. We ask it through Your Sacred Heart, O Lord, who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit one God, forever and ever.
When you pray the Holy Rosary, you have Our Lady’s hand in your hand. When you pray the Holy Rosary, you have the power of God in your hands. “Consueverunt Romani Pontifices” is a papal bull by Pope Pius V issued on September 17th, 1569 on the power of the Holy Rosary, even before the great Catholic victory at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The darkness of heresy began to be dispelled, and the light of the Catholic Faith to be revealed. Sodalities for this form of prayer began to be instituted in many places by the Friars of the same [St. Dominic] Order … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVzFNHopaPA
