A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

9/30/21Come Holy Spirit, Give me life to the full, all your gifts and virtues, so that I can become all that this body and soul is capable of in the Divine plan.  Hold nothing back.  "Ask and you will receive."      I ask, O Holy Spirit, for all that an unworthy and humble servant may receive, to become molded into the full instrument of peace, or the fiercest weapon of war.     The meekest servant to the poor and the suffering, or the Fire of Truth and Justice, whose flames become a great pillar, so that darkness and evil has no hope.  O Holy Spirit, above all, give me perfect charity, Love beyond all Love, so that all that see me will see only a reflection of Christ my King, to know only his great mercy and his undying love.  Yes, yes, O Holy Spirit, let me be love, in it’s fullness and in it’s grace.  Refine me, in the Fire and the Flame of love, into a perfect instrument God’s grace.  It is humility and love I seek.  It is obedience to the Father, and a yearning to unite with him and a yearning to do only his will.  H - Humility - that is both docile and meekO - Obedient always to will of the FatherL - Love that Is Perfect and DivineY - Yearning that is constant and relentless to Unite fully with the Father                                 Yes, O Holy Spirit, it is God’s Grace and your gifts, and virtues. It is blessings beyond measure.  It is Love and Peace.  It is Fire and Truth.O Holy Spirit, let sincerity and humility and love be my constant companion.  Let me have life, O Holy Spirit, and let me have it abundantly.  John 10:10 (DR)  "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly."     

​Turn your pain to prayer!  Pick up your cross daily and follow me!  Turn your pain to prayer!  This is redemptive suffering.  The most efficacious prayer!  Take all your anxiety, all your wounds,  All your hardships, Offer them up as a prayerful sacrificial offering to appease God’s wrath.  As you worthily share in the Cross of Christ.  In your great suffering, take the torment and turn it into a prayerful sacrifice!  “Father, I offer up these wounds I bear, my heavy heart, all my torment, my sins, my broken and struggling  relationships as a prayerful sacrificial offering, as my share of the cross of Christ, my King!  Father, let this pain, guilt and shame, be a worthy sin offering to appease your anger,  and to relieve the great suffering of Our Lord!  Let reparation and repentance be United now to become worthy of your mercy and grace,  and a sin offering for others!  Father, forgive them, they know not what they do!  Father, let this suffering become prayers for those who can no longer pray for themselves,  especially those deeply afflicted by the demon, and the souls in purgatory!  Thank you Father for hearing my prayer!  What separates torment and fear from redemptive suffering and the most efficacious prayer of reparation is “Attitude”It is surrender and trust!  It is docility to know that all is a work of God and that all that is given us is allowed by God  to bring us closer to God!  When we fully grasp this fundamental truth, our faith is no longer faith!  It is complete trust in God’s plan and we are left each day with either giving praise and glory for the gifts,  or offer up our sufferings as a prayerful sacrifice!  Each day then becomes a gift and a grace with the right attitude,   With our own act of the Will surrendered in docility to the Divine Will of the Father!  All is to assist us in uniting to him, to imitate Christ more fully, to serve and to teach others!  All for the glory, honor, and obedience to God!   This is love given, this is love in return!  An Attitude of humble acceptance!  Of Trust!  Of Surrender of the Will to the Divine Will of the Father!  It is Docility!  Turn your pain to prayer!  An offering of love!  

​9/27/21  Beyond all physical realms!  Beyond all authority of this world!  The Name Above every other Name!  All created creatures must obey.  But few yield their Wills to the glory of the Lord.  The destiny of souls will find only what it seeks.  And our hearts direct the focus and the path.  Where your heart there your treasure lies.  Seek always therefore with all your heart and soul, the glory of the Lord!  "Seek and you will find!"  “Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.”Psalm 105:4. (DR)“O Lord, God of Hosts, convert us. And shew Thy face, and we shall be saved.”Psalm 79:20 (DR)Wisdom 14:1-31  The beginning of worshipping idols: and the effects thereof.  The Folly of Idolatry Leads to Moral Disorders  Wisdom 14:19-31“For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner. And the multitude of men, carried away by the beauty of the work, took him now for a god, that little before was but honoured as a man. And this was the occasion of deceiving human life: for men serving either their affection, or their kings, gave the incommunicable name to stones and wood. And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace. For either they sacrifice their own children, or use hidden sacrifices, or keep watches full of madness, So that now they neither keep life, nor marriage undefiled, but one killeth another through envy, or grieveth him by adultery: And all things are mingled together, blood, murder, theft, and dissimulation, corruption and unfaithfulness, tumults and perjury, disquieting of the good, Forgetfulness of God, defiling of souls, changing of nature, disorder in marriage, and the irregularity of adultery and uncleanness. For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil. For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves. For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt. But for both these things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice. For it is not the power of them, by whom they swear, but the just vengeance of sinners always punisheth the transgression of the unjust.” (Wisdom 14:19-31, DR)

Our Lord Speaks:  "You must live out my message in John 15:  Abide in me and I will abide in you!  Abide in my love!"     "May our feet journey together.  May our hands gather in unity.  May our hearts beat in unison.  May our souls be in harmony.  May our thoughts be as one.  May our ears listen to the silence together.  May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.  May our lips pray together to gain mercy  from the Eternal Father."      John 15:1-27I am the true vine: and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither: and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire: and he burneth. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will: and it shall be done unto you. In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father's commandments and do abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you. I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends. because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause. But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning. (John 15:1-27, DR)​

9/19/21  Our Lord Speaks:  All have gifts and charisms.  They are all given by the grace of God!   But it is not distributed by merit.  It is distributed by habit.  It is given to those who surrender enough and trust enough!  They have made a habit of   thinking of me first,  loving me first,  Revealing me first,  “I am the first and the last”  Isaias 44:6-11, DR“Thus saith the Lord the king of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God. Who is like to me? let him call and declare: and let him set before me the order, since I appointed the ancient people: and the things to come, and that shall be hereafter, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be ye troubled from that time I have made thee to hear, and have declared: you are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me, a maker, whom I have not known? The makers of idols are all of them nothing, and their best beloved things shall not profit them. They are their witnesses, that they do not see, nor understand, that they may be ashamed. Who hath formed a god, and made a graven thing that is profitable for nothing? Behold, all the partakers thereof shall be confounded: for the makers are men: they shall all assemble together, they shall stand and fear, and shall be confounded together. (Isaias 44:6-11, DR)Apocalypse 22:13-17, DR“I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life and may enter in by the gates into the city. Without are dogs and sorcerers and unchaste and murderers and servers of idols and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. I, Jesus, have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star. And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come. And he that will, let him take the water of life, freely.” (Apocalypse 22:13-17, DR)Our Lord Speaks: There is a spiritual blindness in the world!  The soul that yearns for truth will see and know the light and the love of Christ!  A spiritual awakening will occur for those who grovel in the darkness.  And those who only look to fruits of a sinful world for their fulfillment.  Seek first the light of truth!  John 3:21“But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God.” (John 3:21, DR)Mathew 26:69-75“But Peter sat without in the court. And there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean. But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest. And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth. And again he denied with an oath: I know not the man. And after a little while, they came that stood by and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them. For even thy speech doth discover thee. Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.” (Matthew 26:62-63, 69-75, DR)Our Lord Speaks:Many live in denial of me either by virtue or by actions!  There thoughts and actions do not cooperate with my word and my teachings!  Because of this twisting and militating of my word made flesh there will be no peace in their heart and they will falter in the time of trial, when the great accuser comes.  My word in you must be whole and complete, unblemished by pride,  not of your own twisted or jaded idea of the truth of my word!  My word is pure, and my light is luminous!  Your heart must be at peace with the sincerity and truth and with love for me!   Mathew 26:62-63 (DR)“And the high priest rising up, said to him: Answerest thou nothing to the things which these witness against thee? But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.”Judith 3:1-13Many Submit to Holofernes“Then the kings and the princes of all the cities and provinces, of Syria, Mesopotamia, and Syria Sobal, and Libya, and Cilicia sent their ambassadors, who coming to Holofernes, said: Let thy indignation towards us cease, for it is better for us to live and serve Nabuchodonosor the great king, and be subject to thee, than to die and to perish, or suffer the miseries of slavery. All our cities and our possessions, all mountains and hills, and fields, and herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and goats, and horses, and camels, and all our goods, and families are in thy sight: Let all we have be subject to thy law, Both we and our children are thy servants. Come to us a peaceable lord, and use our service as it shall please thee, Then he came down from the mountains with horsemen, in great power, and made himself master of every city, and all the inhabitants of the land. And from all the cities he took auxiliaries valiant men, and chosen for war, And so great a fear lay upon all those provinces, that the inhabitants of all the cities, both princes and nobles, as well as the people, went out to meet him at his coming. And received him with garlands, and lights, and dances, and timbrels, and flutes. And though they did these things, they could not for all that mitigate the fierceness of his heart: For he both destroyed their cities, and cut down their groves. For Nabuchodonosor the king had commanded him to destroy all the gods of the earth, that he only might be called God by those nations which could be brought under him by the power of Holofernes.” (Judith 3:1-13, DR)
