Francis Remler recommends that we do not argue with the temptation or give it any undue attention, but rather to remove ourselves from the temptation and to immediately occupy ourselves with some other thing. He tells us that we should not attempt to face the temptation head on. It is suggested that we do not try to face the temptation head on, but rather refuse it any space in our mind and go to battle with it indirectly. We should first get in a habit of finding a short prayer that we find encouraging and helpful for fighting our temptation. Perhaps we can find a role model from a Saint who has faced similar temptations and invoke their help. Fr. Francis Remler says this prayer should be a short phrase or sentence. Afterwards we should go and do something else. Yes, instead of trying to battle it directly we should go and occupy ourselves with some other activity. We cannot fight temptations such as evil thoughts as we can “drive away a dog with a stick.” Go and talk with someone, read a book, go for a walk, go swimming, or watch a good TV show. The point is to make the effort to remove oneself from being drawn in by the thoughts that are tempting us. While we might be tempted to feel bad about ourselves because how strong the temptation is, but we should not allow this feeling to grab hold of us and convince us to give into the temptation. Temptations to sins that we have committed in the past can have a particular stronghold over our emotion and memory. Try not to recall or give thought to sins of the past against purity. Do not give much thought to the sin against purity in terms of deciding if it was a venial or mortal sin. The less thought given to it, the more the mind is free from the temptation and occasion of sin. The fight against evil is real, and the fight against temptation is a battle. St. Michael help us be strong against the evil one who wants to defeat us. Devotion Prayers for The Virtues Of Purity And Chastity Opening Prayer Dear Jesus, I know that every perfect gift, and especially that of chastity, depends on the power of Your providence. Without You a mere creature can do nothing. Therefore, I beg You to defend by Your grace the chastity and purity of my body and soul. And if I have ever imagined or sensed anything that could stain my chastity and purity, blot it out, Supreme Lord of my powers, that I may advance with a pure heart in Your love and service, offering myself on the most pure altar of Your divinity all the days of my life. Amen. 1. Dear Jesus, bless our social and cultural climate. Grant that our society may be purified of everything contrary to chastity, and that we may have the strength to resist the pressures of prevailing distortions of human sexuality. “In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Rom 8:37). Hail Mary… 2. Dear Jesus, bless our relationships. Grant that they will be holy, healthy, and honorable at all times. “Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart” (1 Pet 1:22). Hail Mary… 3. Dear Jesus, bless our efforts at modesty. Grant that how we dress and carry ourselves may veil what should be veiled, and give us the strength to resist evil fashions and the glamour of sin. “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom 12:2). Hail Mary… 4. Dear Jesus, bless our five senses. Grant that the things we see, the music and jokes we hear, our food and drink, and the encounters we have through touch may all be pure and holy. “Seek the things that are above” (Col 3:1). Hail Mary… 5. Dear Jesus, bless our sensuality. Grant that our impulses may not go after base pleasures, but will be freed by Your wisdom and inflamed for what is good. “In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood” (Heb 12:4). Hail Mary… 6. Dear Jesus, bless our imagination. Grant that we may be preserved from the fantasies and daydreams that defile us, that all impure images may vanish, and that we may be protected from all the assaults of demons. “Be renewed in the spirit of your minds” (Eph 4:23). Hail Mary… 7. Dear Jesus, bless our memory. Grant that no dark memories from our past may haunt us, but let Your light shine within us to fill us with a healing hope in You. “And every one who thus hopes in Him purifies himself as He is pure” (1 Jn 3:3). Hail Mary… 8. Dear Jesus, bless our power of estimation. Grant that we may quickly sense dangers to chastity, instinctively flee from them, and that we may never turn away from higher and more difficult goods for the sake of sinful self-indulgence. “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” (Mk 8:36). Hail Mary… [Note: estimation ~ ability to make judgments] 9. Dear Jesus,…

Reasons Why She Was Preserved From Aging & Why She Appears as a Young Lady! The reasons why Her son preserved the Virgin Mary from old age. One of the things that stands out is that neither in the apparitions nor in art, the Virgin Mary appears with the appearance of an old woman, because we clarify that she died at the age of 72 according to tradition. Which leads us to wonder if Mary had indeed aged like all human beings, before her Assumption body and soul into Heaven. Because Mary was not an ordinary human being like you or me, her conception was immaculate and preserved from sin. And therefore the biological laws should not necessarily have been fulfilled in Her as in us. Here we will talk about the ageless aspect that Mary is portrayed, and the reasons why she did not suffer the corruption of sin, which is expressed in the aging, sickness and death that happens to all human beings. When Our Lady appears on earth as the Virgin of Guadalupe, Lourdes, Fatima, etc., she is always shown as a very young woman, even in some cases as an adolescent. And the Gospels present Mary to us as a girl, young and virgin, who will be the Mother of Jesus. From the stories of Saint Matthew and Saint Luke we can infer that the Virgin had had a normal physical development; she had been a baby, a girl, and now a young lady. But what happened next? Tradition affirms that Our Lady died at the age of 72, so logic leads us to suppose that she should have had wrinkles, gray hair and the ailments of age. And we must also consider that the physique and health of a person in the first century, at that age, was not like now, in which people live longer and with a better quality of life. In other words, Our Lady’s body at the end of her life should have been even more ailing than that of a person in our century. But also in art we find that the Virgin almost always looks young. So how is it possible if she died aged 72? How can it be that she has not aged and is presented in appearances and art as a young woman? Is this way of presenting it for aesthetic reasons, because it is always more attractive to show a young person than an old person? Or perhaps there are theological reasons that lead to this? Or is it simply a reflection of reality itself, that the Blessed Virgin did not age like the rest of human beings , as Casañ suggests? Joaquin Casañ in his magnificent work the Life of the Virgin Mary, where he compiles a huge amount of information, tells us about the death of Saint Joseph at the age of sixty, adding that he was thirty-three when he married the Blessed Virgin. At the death of Joseph, Mary was forty-one years old, because at fourteen she was married to Saint Joseph. And it says that at that age of 41, Mary had the same natural perfection as at thirty-three, because she neither regressed, nor grew old, nor fainted from that most perfect state. Thirty-three years is the age at which Jesus Christ died and is considered the age of perfection. And it has been considered that it is the age that our glorious bodies will have for eternity. And how could this have been? We must consider that aging, disease and death entered the world through original sin. We all have this stain, which is why we get old, sick and die. However, the Virgin was the only human being who was not included in the original sin. And if Mary did not have sin, then she did not have the physical evolution of the rest of the people, nor the aspects that are a consequence of original sin. Specifically, she could not have aged or died. This is well explained by Blessed Duns Scotus, who stated that Mary had been preserved from sin, being saved by Our Lord in a preventative way. Because there are two ways to save man: one by preventing and the other by rescuing. If Jesus is the perfect mediator, he had to be able to redeem man in a perfect way, also preventing. It is what explains why the scriptures say that She was full of grace, which should also be shown in her physical appearance, which should be that of a young woman. This happened because of Her Immaculate Conception. That it is a dogma of faith proclaimed in 1854, which maintains that the Virgin Mary was free from original sin from the first moment of her conception, through the merits of Her son Jesus Christ. Christ preserved her in an extraordinary way and granted her a sanctity that she did not achieve on her own. And she did it for the sake of her mission, a mission that only she could carry out, that is, to be the Mother of God. This was required by the holiness of Christ and the honor of God. And what about Maria’s death? Because if original sin is the cause of death, since Mary did not have it, then she should not have died. However, although she had no original sin, she wanted to imitate her Son in everything, including death. And she wanted to imitate him so much that, according to ancient accounts, the Virgin dies on a Friday, August 13, and…

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Ask Him to inspire your heart. Considerations 1. Consider how long it is since you first began to commit sin, and how since that first beginning sin has multiplied in your heart; how every day has added to the number of your sins against God, against yourself and against your neighbour, by deed, word, thought and desire. 2. Consider your evil tendencies, and how far you have followed them. These two points will show you that your sins are more in number than the hairs of your head, or the sand on the seashore. 3. Apart from sin, consider your ingratitude towards God, which is in itself a sin enfolding all the others, and adding to their enormity: consider the gifts which God has given you, and which you have turned against the Giver; especially the inspirations you have neglected, and the promptings to good which you have frustrated. Review the many Sacraments you have received, and see where are their fruits. Where are the precious jewels wherewith your Heavenly Bridegroom decked you? with what preparation have you received them? Reflect upon the ingratitude with which, while God sought to save you, you have fled from Him and rushed upon destruction. Affections and Resolutions 1. Humble yourself in your wretchedness. O my God, how dare I come before Thine Eyes? I am but a corrupt being, a very sink of ingratitude and wickedness. Can it be that I have been so disloyal, that not one sense, not one faculty but has been sullied and stained; not one day has passed but I have sinned before Thee? Was this a fitting return for all my Creator’s gifts, for my Redeemer’s Blood? 2. Ask pardon; throw yourself at the Lord’s Feet as the prodigal son, as the Magdalene, as the woman convicted of adultery. Have mercy, Lord, on me a sinner! O Living Fountain of Mercy, have pity on me, unworthy as I am. 3. Resolve to do better. Lord, with the help of Thy Grace I will never again give myself up to sin. I have loved it too well; henceforth I would abhor it and cleave to Thee. Father of Mercy, I would live and die to Thee. 4. In order to put away past sin, accuse yourself bravely of it, let there not be one sinful act which you do not bring to light. 5. Resolve to make every effort to tear up the roots of sin from your heart, especially this and that individual sin which troubles you most. 6. In order to do this, resolve stedfastly to follow the advice given you, and never think that you have done enough to atone for your past sin. Conclusion 1. Thank God for having waited till now for you, and for rousing these good intentions in your heart. 2. Offer Him all your heart to carry them to good effect. 3. Pray that He would strengthen you.

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Ask Him to inspire your heart. Considerations 1. Consider the material gifts God has given you, your body, and the means for its preservation; your health, and all that maintains it; your friends and many helps. Consider too how many persons more deserving than you are without these gifts; some suffering in health or limb, others exposed to injury, contempt and trouble, or sunk in poverty, while God has willed you to be better off. 2. Consider the mental gifts He has given you. Why are you not stupid, idiotic, insane like many you wot of? Again, God has favoured you with a decent and suitable education, while many have grown up in utter ignorance. 3. Further, consider His spiritual gifts. You are a child of His Church, God has taught you to know Himself from your youth. How often has He given you His Sacraments? what inspirations and interior light, what reproofs, He has given to lead you aright; how often He has forgiven you, how often delivered you from occasions of falling; what opportunities He has granted for your soul’s progress! Dwell somewhat on the detail, see how Loving and Gracious God has been to you. Affections and Resolutions 1. Marvel at God’s Goodness. How good He has been to me, how abundant in mercy and plenteous in loving-kindness! O my soul, be thou ever telling of the great things the Lord has done for thee! 2. Marvel at your own ingratitude. What am I, Lord, that Thou rememberest me? How unworthy am I! I have trodden Thy Mercies under root, I have abused Thy Grace, turning it against Thy very Self; I have set the depth of my ingratitude against the deep of Thy Grace and Favour. 3. Kindle your gratitude. O my soul, be no more so faithless and disloyal to thy mighty Benefactor! How should not my whole soul serve the Lord, Who has done such great things in me and for me? 4. Go on, my daughter, to refrain from this or that material indulgence; let your body be wholly the servant of God, Who has done so much for it: set your soul to seek Him by this or that devout practice suitable thereto. Make diligent use of the means provided by the Church to help you to love God and save your soul. Resolve to be constant in prayer and seeking the Sacraments, in hearing God’s Word, and in obeying His inspirations and counsels. Conclusion 1. Thank God for the clearer knowledge He has given you of His benefits and your own duty. 2. Offer your heart and all its resolutions to Him. 3. Ask Him to strengthen you to fulfil them faithfully by the Merits of the Death of His Son. OUR FATHER, etc. Gather the little spiritual bouquet.

Response To the Atlantic Anti-Rosary Article

HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE FREE DOWNLOADS CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE FREE DOWNLOADS CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS WATCH ONLINE Response To the Atlantic Anti-Rosary Article By Bella Francis Are the princes of darkness afraid of the little rosary beads, used by Catholics, giving glory to God in recitation, imploring spiritual and physical healing and petitioning for favours? Reading between the lines of this article labeling the rosary as ‘an extremism symbol’, the devil is in the details, so to speak. The hidden agenda (among other evil things) is that they loathe the peaceful recitation of the rosary at abortion sites. The Atlantic contributor concluded his article with a warning “cemented in common causes such as hostility toward abortion-rights advocates.” The bottom line is that Catholicism is despised for upholding that abortion, homosexuality and assisted suicide, to name a few, is sinful and evil. The catholic faith expresses love for the sinner, not the act. When the truth does not align with evil strategies and agendas, the evil doers resort to choose to twist and distort by throwing verbiage around, concocting ideas and attempting to incite fear. It is the devil’s workshop. Rather than stooping to respond to downright stupidity, unintelligible rhetoric, let’s take the approach to clarify, dumb it down that the Rosary is a prayer. A prayer of love and humility. The Rosary beads have no gun powder, no toxic content to physically hurt anyone. It is just a device to count prayers while reflecting on the mysteries of the faith. The capuchin priest and saint, St. Padre Pio called it a weapon for these times. We are encouraged to recite the daily rosary for protection against the evil forces of secularism that constantly drums in the media that good is evil and evil is good. The rosary is a common sight in Catholic churches and homes. Catholics were not the first to pray with beads. Men and women of many faiths and cultures like Buddhists, Hindus and more use beads in prayer. Power of the Rosary The Rosary has been associated with notable miracles and healings. It has been attributed to victories in war. In 1571, a great naval war took place between a coalition of some catholic countries comprising Spain and parts of Italy against the Ottoman Empire. The intent was to wipe out Christianity. The Christians banded together, turned to Mary, invoked the Rosary, and were saved. The battle took place just off the coast of Greece at a place known as Lepanto.The battle of Lepanto, the most important naval contest in human history, saved the Christian West from defeat at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. Pope Pius V called on all of Europe to pray the rosary for victory. These prayers were answered, with the Christian forces defeating the much larger Ottoman forces. To commemorate the victory, Pius V established the feast day of “Our Lady of Lepanto” –– also known as Our Lady of Victory or Our Lady of the Rosary. All the more, let us pray the rosary with much fervor and reverence to protect us from the forces of evil. Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us.

PLACE yourself before God. 2. Ask Him to inspire your heart. Considerations 1. God did not bring you into the world because He had any need of you, useless as you are; but solely that He might show forth His Goodness in you, giving you His Grace and Glory. And to this end He gave you understanding that you might know Him, memory that you might think of Him, a will that you might love Him, imagination that you might realise His mercies, sight that you might behold the marvels of His works, speech that you might praise Him, and so on with all your other faculties. 2. Being created and placed in the world for this intent, all contrary actions should be shunned and rejected, as also you should avoid as idle and superfluous whatever does not promote it. 2. Consider how unhappy they are who do not think of all this, who live as though they were created only to build and plant, to heap up riches and amuse themselves with trifles. Affections and Resolutions 1. Humble yourself in that hitherto you have so little thought upon all this. Alas, my God, of what was I thinking when I did not think of Thee? what did I remember when I forgot Thee? what did I love when I loved Thee not? Alas, when I ought to have been feeding on the truth, I was but filling myself with vanity, and serving the world, which was made to serve me. 2. Abhor your past life. I renounce ye, O vain thoughts and useless cogitations, frivolous and hateful memories: I renounce all worthless friendships, all unprofitable efforts, and miserably ungrateful self-indulgence, all pitiful compliances. 3. Turn to God. Thou, my God and Saviour shalt henceforth be the sole object of my thoughts; no more will I give my mind to ideas which are displeasing to Thee. All the days of my life I will dwell upon the greatness of Thy Goodness, so lovingly poured out upon me. Thou shalt be henceforth the delight of my heart, the resting-place of all my affections. From this time forth I will forsake and abhor the vain pleasures and amusements, the empty pursuits which have absorbed my time; the unprofitable ties which have bound my heart I will loosen henceforth, and to that end I will use such and such remedies. Conclusion 1. Thank God, Who has made you for so gracious an end. Thou hast made me, O Lord, for Thyself, that I may eternally enjoy the immensity of Thy Glory; when shall I be worthy thereof, when shall I know how to bless Thee as I ought? 2. Offer. O Dearest Lord, I offer Thee all my affections and resolutions, with my whole heart and soul. 3. Pray. I entreat Thee, O God, that Thou wouldest accept my desires and longings, and give Thy Blessing to my soul, to enable me to fulfil them, through the Merits of Thy Dear Son’s Precious Blood shed upon the Cross for me.

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Ask Him to inspire your heart. Considerations 1. Consider that but a few years since you were not born into the world, and your soul was as yet non-existent. Where wert thou then, O my soul? the world was already old, and yet of thee there was no sign. 2. God brought you out of this nothingness, in order to make you what you are, not because He had any need of you, but solely out of His Goodness. 3. Consider the being which God has given you; for it is the foremost being of this visible world, adapted to live eternally, and to be perfectly united to God’s Divine Majesty. Affections and Resolutions 1. Humble yourself utterly before God, saying with the Psalmist, O Lord, I am nothing in respect of Thee, what am I, that Thou shouldst remember me? O my soul, thou wert yet lost in that abyss of nothingness, if God had not called thee forth, and what of thee in such a case? 2. Give God thanks. O Great and Good Creator, what do I not owe Thee, Who didst take me from out that nothingness, by Thy Mercy to make me what I am? How can I ever do enough worthily to praise Thy Holy Name, and render due thanks to Thy Goodness? 3. Confess your own shame. But alas, O my Creator, so far from uniting myself to Thee by a loving service, I have rebelled against Thee through my unruly affections, departing from Thee, and giving myself up to sin, and ignoring Thy Goodness, as though Thou hadst not created me. 4. Prostrate thyself before God. O my soul, know that the Lord He is thy God, it is He that hath made thee, and not thou thyself. O God, I am the work of Thy Hands; henceforth I will not seek to rest in myself, who am nought. Wherein hast thou to glory, who art but dust and ashes? how canst thou, a very nothing, exalt thyself? In order to my own humiliation, I will do such and such a thing, “I will endure such contempt: “I will alter my ways and henceforth follow my Creator, and realise that I am honoured by His calling me to the being He has given; I will employ it solely to obey His Will, by means of the teaching He has given me, of which I will inquire more through my spiritual Father. Conclusion 1. Thank God. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and praise His Holy Name with all thy being, because His Goodness called me forth from nothingness, and His Mercy created me. 2. Offer. O my God, I offer Thee with all my heart the being Thou hast given me, I dedicate and consecrate it to Thee. 3. Pray. O God, strengthen me in these affections and resolutions. Dear Lord, I commend me, and all those I love, to Thy never failing Mercy. OUR FATHER, etc. At the end of your meditation linger a while, and gather, so to say, a little spiritual bouquet from the thoughts you have dwelt upon, the sweet perfume whereof may refresh you through the day.
