A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

1/17/23  Lord, you are the Lion and the Lamb!  As with the Lion,  the sight of your Face strikes fear in the heart of your enemies.  The roar of your voice makes all tremble in ways no other words can express.As with the Lamb,  of silence, of purity and of holy innocence,you are offered up in sacrifice!   The incense of a sacred offering is lifted up to the heavens to the glory and honor of the Father.  Both Lion and Lamb stand victorious and glorious!Both Lion and lamb are represented and presented on the altar of salvation in the ritual mass,  for the glory and honor of God!  Isaia 41:1-20 (DR)The Liberator of Israel “Let the islands keep silence before me, and the nations take new strength: let them come near, and then speak, let us come near to judgment together.   Who hath raised up the just one from the east, hath called him to follow him?   he shall give the nations in his sight, and he shall rule over kings: he shall give them as the dust to his sword, as stubble driven by the wind, to his bow.   He shall pursue them, he shall pass in peace, no path shall appear after his feet.   Who hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning?   I the Lord, I am the first and the last.   The islands saw it, and feared, the ends of the earth were astonished, they drew near, and came. Every one shall help his neighbour, and shall say to his brother: Be of good courage.  The coppersmith striking with the hammer encouraged him that forged at that time, saying: It is ready for soldering: and he strengthened it with nails, that it should not be moved.   But thou Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend: In whom I have taken thee from the ends of the earth, and from the remote parts thereof have called thee, and said to thee: Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and have not cast thee away.   Fear not, for I am with thee: turn not aside, for I am thy God: I have strengthened thee, and have helped thee, and the right hand of my just one hath upheld thee.   Behold all that fight against thee shall be confounded and ashamed, they shall be as nothing, and the men shall perish that strive against thee.   Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find the men that resist thee: they shall be as nothing: and as a thing consumed the men that war against thee.   For I am the Lord thy God, who take thee by the hand, and say to thee: Fear not, I have helped thee. Fear not, thou worm of Jacob, you that are dead of Israel: I have helped thee, saith the Lord: and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.   I have made thee as a new thrashing wain, with teeth like a saw: thou shalt thrash the mountains, and break them in pieces: and shalt make the hills as chaff.   Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel thou shalt be joyful.   The needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their tongue hath been dry with thirst.   I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.   I will open rivers in the high hills, and fountains in the midst of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the impassable land into streams of waters.   I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, and the thorn, and the myrtle, and the olive tree: I will set in the desert the fir tree, the elm, and the box tree together:   That they may see and know, and consider, and understand togetherthat the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.”   

1/14/23   “Oh Jesus, through the merits of your Holy Face, have pity on us, and on the whole world” (3 Times)   Our Lord Speaks:  “Evil attempts to deface my Holy Image.  It is a feeble attempt to discredit my countenance and authority!    Evil ones also try to discredit the Power and authority in My Name.  Give reverence and reinvigorate the Power and the Glory in My Name and to My Holy Face!    You will do so by powerful acts and in reverent prayer.    Much grace flows to those who do these acts of reparation.”   Psalm 68:1-12 (RSV)  "Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered;    let those who hate him flee before him! As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;    as wax melts before fire,     let the wicked perish before God!But let the righteous be joyful;    let them exult before God;    let them be jubilant with joy!Sing to God, sing praises to his name;    lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds;    his name is the Lord, exult before him!Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.  God gives the desolate a home to dwell in;    he leads out the prisoners to prosperity;    but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people,    when thou didst march through the wilderness, Selah  the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain,    at the presence of God;  yon Sinai quaked at the presence of God,    the God of Israel.Rain in abundance, O God, thou didst shed abroad;    thou didst restore thy heritage as it languished;thy flock found a dwelling in it;    in thy goodness, O God, thou didst provide for the needy. The Lord gives the command;    great is the host of those who bore the tidings:“The kings of the armies, they flee, they flee!”      

 1/13/23   Journey to peace!  A restless heart never rests.  It pursues passions,  or is consumed in emotions,  In pursuit of happiness but never finds contentment.   Any happiness is fleeting,   It is never enough,    Or there is something lacking.  Always reaching and grasping,  but never fully experiencing!  Fear  Hunger  Desire, bordering on obsession and addiction that consumes your time and your thoughts!  Restlessness!  Seek the joy and Serenity that only Christ can give!  Peace and a peaceful heart.  God and his glory can only be found in consistent peaceful prayer.  A yearning to know and to grow in faith and unity with the creator.   All else is fleeting.   Unity with God is fulfilling PeaceJoySerenity TrustA simple knowledge that all is God’s grace and therefore we become United to the creation and the creator in the surroundings he has createdWe do not obsess about anything beyond a deep and sincere desire to unite ever closer to Our God, the Father, the Creator, the redeemerWe do not obsessWe prove and profess We seek out the fullness of our destiny and our identity in recognition that we are children of God created in his imageNow in peace and joy and serenity live out your missionRemove your obsession Regain peace in your heart and soulA worthy resting place  for the Holy Spirit and his power and glorySeek the higher giftsTake only what God gives you and use it for the greater goodUnite in peaceful serenity with God in prayerful harmony and communication And as you join your hands together in peaceful Prayer remember the Kingdom of God is at hand! It is in you and around you!Worldly worries and passions are not fulfillment They are twisted and false narratives designed to consume your thoughts words and deeds away from the peace, joy and serenity

the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears turned to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against evildoers."–1 Peter 3:12    Hebrews 4:1-5, 11“Let us be on our guard while the promise of entering into his rest remains,  that none of you seem to have failed.  For in fact we have received the Good News just as our ancestors did.  But the word that they heard did not profit them,for they were not united in faith with those who listened.  For we who believed enter into that rest,just as he has said:As I swore in my wrath,    “They shall not enter into my rest,”and yet his works were accomplishedat the foundation of the world.  For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this manner,  And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;and again, in the previously mentioned place,  They shall not enter into my rest. Therefore, let us strive to enter into that rest,  so that no one may fall after the same example of disobedience."                 ReplyForward       Journey to peaceA restless heart never restsIt pursues passions, or is consumed in emotionsIn pursuit of happiness but never finds contentment Any

1/10/23Lord, I find it difficult to have joy and serenity when so many lost and suffering souls surround me! Our Lord Speaks:  “You have already won!   Who of you, in the thick of the battle knows beyond any doubt that victory is already yours!    Leap frog your thoughts to the prize that awaits you and with the present knowledge that I stand with you!  Victory is already yours!   You have chosen wisely and prayed fervently, therefore by God’s own hand victory is yours!  Endure the struggle then with Joy and serenity and the peaceful knowledge that eternal glory awaits you   and your offspring!  The battle is over and let these words be a foretaste of the sweet taste of the victory that awaits!  Be Strong and Trust!” 

1/10/23  An Intercessor is an ambassador on behalf of another! You remnant stand before God on behalf of your families, your loved ones,  your communities, so stand, you remnant, and stand in the truth of the Faith,   in the Love of the Lord and beg forgiveness for all those who “know not what they do”   What better Intercessor than Mary our Mother, pure and pious  before the God She obeys, and the Son She adores. Fathom the Fiat and the Faith of Mary who keeps all things in her heart,her sorrowful heart, and the soul pierced so the the thoughts of hearts may be revealed!The Humble and Sincere One, Who all generations will call Blessed, and whose Soul doth magnify the Lord!  Unite now you remnant with the heart of Mary and the heel that will crush the head of the lawless one! Luke 2:35 (DR)“And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed.”
