A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

Yahweh   No beginning, no end!    God before us, God above us, God in us!    God all powerful,  God all merciful,  God all just!    Yahweh  Creator of the universe, the heavens and the earth!  Creator of all creatures, of all creation!  Yahweh  All love, all light, all luminous!  All glorious, all Holy, Omnipotent!  Yahweh  The Name above every other Name!  Our God is a mighty God!  There is no Other God!  And Holy is his Name!  The Name above every other Name  Yahweh  Psalm 34 (Psalms 33:2-23, DR)Benedicam Dominum.“I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice. O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together. I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles. Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them. O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him. Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good. Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is the man that desireth life: who liveth to see good days? Keep thy tongue form evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers. But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit. Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken. The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty. The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.”(Psalm 33:2-23, DR)​

The Sword of Truth  10/4/21​  Unfit to unfasten your sandal straps,  But strong enough to bind!  On bended knee, I bow my head,  And leave this world behind!  I breathe forth my soul into your hands,  My spirit lifts to you!  Let my heart yield what love demands,  As I wield your sword of truth!   Ephesians 3:14-21(DR)"For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named: That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man: That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity, You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God. Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us: To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations, world without end. Amen." 

​10/5/21  Our Lord speaks:  “Humility often requires humiliation.  Humiliation requires courage at times!  Knowing that reverence and honor,  should never look like this!  But in this moment,  It is obedience that must rule.  Obedience that calls for humiliation.  For some, obedience and humiliation to the point of death. Humiliation that others may be healed.  Reverence then, must seek first obedience to the Father’s Will, then honor will seek its course!  God is glorified first and most in humility and obedience!  The great commission does not speak of reverence, yet in keeping these commandments, God is Honored and revered!  Taxes, oppression, persecution, humiliation, sacrifice, and penance become the Cross necessary to stay the course in completing your vocation and my great commission!  Be humble and obedient, therefore, but always keep my commands, my great commission!  This is reverence, that with which a great crown awaits!  At times you are to wear a mask on your face, with your heart on your sleeve!  And God who sees all will know what is hidden!  Feed my sheep!  Free the captives!  Heal the wounded!  Save Souls!”  Our Lady Speaks:“It is time, Apostles of Light and my children of the light to let your light shine!  It is in the greatest darkness that a single glimmer of light will pierce and all will see it.  It is a light on a hill that shows the way for all to see!  It is this light that also draws the darkness.  A darkness that does not desire truth.  Let your light shine and seek my refuge, children of Light!  Make way, make ready, prepare for the Coming King!  The darkness has seen a great light, and it pierces the darkness and evil is blinded by it’s luminous beauty!  Be the light of Christ!  Be torch bearers for all who seek God’s grace!  Walk the narrow path. Seek his Holy Face, that casts out darkness, and scatters those who hate him!  Take the Narrow Road and make it wider!  All you Apostles of Light,  Stand in the Light of Truth!  “O Lord, show us Thy Face and we shall be saved.Turn Thy Face toward us, and give us peace.His mighty Name shall be our shield.And His adorable Face shall be our fortress.”Our Lord Speaks:“Receive now the Holy Spirit!  Stand with me at Gethsemane!  Stand with me at the cross!  A glorious crown awaits you!”  Psalm 21: (22:)Deus Deus meus.Passion and Triumph of the Messiah“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me, far from my prayer, from the words of my cry? O my God, I cry out at day, and you answer not; by night, and there is no relief for me. Yet you are enthroned in the holy place, all glory of Israel! In you, our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried, and they escaped; in you they trusted, and they were not put to shame.But I am a worm, not a man; the scorning of men, despised by the people. All who see me, scoff at me;they mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads: “ He relied on the Lord; let him deliver him, let him rescue him, if he loves him.”You have been my guide since I was first formed, my security at my mother’s breast. To you I was committed at birth, from my mother’s womb you are my God.Be not far from me, for I am in distress; be near, for I have no one to help me. Many bullocks surround me; the strong bulls of Basan encircle me. They open their mouths against me like ravening and roaring lions.I am like water poured out; all my bones are racked. My heart has become like wax melting away within my bosom. My throat is dried up like baked clay, my tongue cleaves to my jaws; to the dust of death you have brought me down.Indeed, many dogs surround me, a pack of evildoers closes in upon me; they have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones. They look on and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots.But you, O Lord, be not far from me; O my help; hasten to aid me. Rescue my soul from the sword, my loneliness from the grip of the dog. Save me from the lion’s mouth; from the horns of the wild bulls, my wretched life.I will proclaim your name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will praise you: “You who fear the Lord, praise him; are you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him; revere him, are you descendants of Israel!  For he has not spurned nor disdained the wretched man in his misery, nor did he turn his face away from him, but when he cried out to him, he heard him." So by your gift wilI I utter praise in the vast assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear him. The lowly shall eat their fill; they who seek the Lord shall praise him: “May your hearts be ever merry!”All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord; all the families of the nations shall bow down before him. For dominion is the Lord’s and he rules the nations.To him alone shall bow down all who sleep in the earth; before him shall bend all who down in the dust. And to him my soul shall live; my descendants shall serve him. Let the coming generation be told of the Lord that they may proclaim yet to be born the justice he has shown.”1 John 5:1-17Of them that are born of God, and of true charity. Faith overcomes the world. Three that bear witness to Christ. Of faith in his name and of sin that is and is not to death.The Basis of Love 5:1-5“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him. In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep his commandments. For this is the charity of God: That we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory which overcameth the world: Our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (1 John 5:1-5, DR)Witnesses to Christ 5:6-13“This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth that Christ is the truth. And there are Three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one. And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit and the water and the blood. And these three are one. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth in the Son of God hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. And this is the testimony that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life. He that hath not the Son hath not life. These things I write to you that you may know that you have eternal life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God." (1 John 5:6-13, DR)Confidence in Prayer 5:14-17“And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us. And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him. He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask: and life shall be given to him who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death. For that I say not that any man ask. All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.” (1 John 5:14-17, DR)

The Reality Of Immortality  Fear of death is death of soul.  Life is short and death a door.  The time is God’s and God’s alone,  Not ours that we control.  The reality of immortality,  Is where are thoughts should be.  Dying first to life on earth,  Transcending to eternity.  A second death what we should fear,  The demise of our immortal soul.  Is heaven earned or does hell await, It is Your Free Will that you control.    ​1 Corinthians 15:54 (DR) "When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”  Revelation 20:4 (DR)"And I saw seats; and they sat upon them; and judgment was given unto them; and the souls of them that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not adored the beast nor his image, nor received his character on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." 

​“Everything is Grace” St Therese of Liseux!   While grace can only be given by God and by His Divine Providence,    We can show love, mercy and forgiveness to others by being an instrument of grace!  We may pray for grace!  We can ask for mercy!  We can trust!  We can surrender!  We can love, simply, purely, innocently!  We are a child of God!  Seek Grace, ask for Grace, receive Grace with the innocence of a child.  The Little Way!  Grace is Love!  Receive all with love!  Give all with Love!  The Little Way!  Little things done with Great Love!  Be Instruments of God's Grace, his Love!  Ask with Love, Receive with Love, Give With Love!
