PRAYER TO THE HOLY GHOST
O Holy Spirit, I humbly implore you be with me always, so
that in all things I may act only under the influence of your holy inspiration.
Every time you pray the prayer as below, you will save a
person from going to eternal damnation.
THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS
By Offering My Face to My Eternal Father nothing will be
refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained.
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most
incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved,
adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth and under the earth, by all the
creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most
Holy Sacrament of the Alter. Amen.

PRAYER
O Lord Jesus Christ, in presenting ourselves before Thy
adorable Face, to ask of Thee the graces of which we stand most in need, we
beseech Thee above all, to give us that interior disposition of never refusing
at any time to do what Thou requirest of us by Thy holy commandments and divine
inspirations. Amen.
O good Jesus, who hadst said, “Ask and you shall receive,
seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you”, give us O Lord,
that faith which obtains all, or supply in us what may be deficient, grant us,
by the pure effect of Thy charity, and for Thy eternal glory, the graces which
we need and which we look for from Thy infinite mercy.
Amen.
Be merciful to us, O my God, and reject not our prayers, when
amid our afflictions, we call on Thy Holy name and seek with love and confidence
Thy adorable Face. Amen.
O Almighty and Eternal God, look upon the Face of Thy Son
Jesus. We present It to Thee with
confidence, to implore Thy pardon. The
All-Merciful Advocate opens His mouth to plead our cause, hearken to His cries,
behold His tears O God, and through His infinite merits hearken to Him when He
intercedes for us poor miserable sinners. Amen.
Adorable Face of my Jesus, my only love, my light, and my
life, grant that I may know, love and serve Thee alone, that I may live with
Thee, of Thee, by Thee and for Thee. Amen.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the adorable Face of Thy Beloved
Son for the honour and glory of Thy Name, for the Conversion of sinners and the
salvation of the dying.
O Divine Jesus, through Thy Face and Name save us.
Our hope is in the virtue of Thy Holy Name!
Padrio Pio was known to pass around Holy Face Medals with the
meaningful remarks: “This is your entrance ticket to Heaven”.

PRAYER TO THE WOUND IN THE SHOULDER
O most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God I, a miserable sinner,
salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which thou didst
bear Thy heavy Cross, which so tore Thy Flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to
inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other wound of Thy most Blessed
Body, I adore Thee O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give
Thee thanks for this most Sacred and Painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that
exceeding pain and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross, to be merciful to
me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins and to lead me on
towards Heaven along the Way of Thy Cross.
It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked Our Lord which was his greatest unrecorded suffering, and Our Lord answered: “I had on My Shoulders, while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrow, a grievous Wound which, was more painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honour this wound with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through its virtue and merit, and in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound I will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their mortal sins”.

PRAYER TO JESUS, AGONISING ON
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
My soul is sorrowful even unto death.
Stay here and watch. (St. Mark XIV-34).
O Jesus, through the abundance of Thy love, and in order to
overcome our hardheartedness, Thou pourest out torrents of Thy graces over those
who reflect on Thy most Sacred Sorrow in the Garden of Gethsemane, and who
spread devotion to it. I pray Thee,
move my soul and my heart to think often, at least once a day, of Thy most
bitter Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, in order to communicate with Thee and
to be united with Thee as closely as possible.
O Blessed Jesus, Thou, who carried the immense burden of our
sins that night, and atoned for them fully; grant me the most perfect gift
of complete repentant love over my numerous sins, for which Thou didst sweat
blood.
O Blessed Jesus, for the sake of Thy most bitter struggle in
the Garden of Gethsemane, grant me final victory over all temptations,
expecially over those to which I am most subjected.
O suffering Jesus, for the sake of Thy inscrutable and
indescribable agonies, during that night of betrayal, and of Thy bitterest
anguish of mind, enlighten me, so that I may recognise and fulfil Thy will;
grant that I may ponder continually on Thy heart-wrenching struggle on how Thou
didst emerge victoriously, in order to fulfil, not Thy will, but the will of Thy
Father.
Be Thou blessed, O Jesus, for all Thy sighs on that holy
night; and for the tears which Thou didst shed for us.
Be Thou blessed, O Jesus, for Thy sweat of blood and the
terrible agony, which Thou dist suffer lovingly in coldest abandonment and in
inscrutable loneliness.
Be Thou blessed, O sweetest Jesus, filled with immeasurable
bitterness, for the prayer which flowed in trembling agony from Thy Heart, so
truly human and divine.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee all the past, present, and
future Masses together with the blood of Christ shed in agony in the Garden of
Sorrow at Gethsemane.
Most Holy Trinity, grant that the knowledge and thereby the
love, of the agony of Jesus on the Mount of Olives will spread throughout the
whole world.
Grant, O Jesus, that all who look lovingly at Thee on the
Cross, will also remember Thy immense Suffering on the Mount of Olives, that
they will follow Thy example, learn to pray devoutly and fight victoriously, so
that, one day, they may be able to Glorify Thee eternally in Heaven.
Amen.

Biship Fabiano, 23rd Nov., 1963.

PROMISES TO DEVOTEES OF THE AGONY OF JESUS ON THE MOUNT OF
OLIVES
Again and again calls of My Love flow from My Heart.
They fill the souls in which the fire of love lights up and sometimes
even sets ablaze the heart. It is
this, the voice of My Heart, which travels and also reaches those who do not
want to hear Me, and who, therefore, do not notice Me.
However, inside of them I speak to all, and My Voice will speak to all,
because I love them all.
He, who knows the Commandment of Love is not surprised that I
cannot help knocking at the door of those who resist Me, and forced me, so to
speak, by their rejection, to repeat My loving invitation to them.
Why, what else can My calls be, full of flowing love, than
the will of love of a loving God. Who
wants to save His Creatures? However,
I know very well, that not many wish to follow My generous invitation, and that
even the few who do accept, must strive hard to receive Me.
Well then! I
shall show even more, generosity (as if I had not been generous enough up to
now), and I shall do this by giving all of you a precious Gem of My Love.
I have decided to open a dam, in order to let flow the torrent of My
Graces, which My Heart can no longer hold back.
Look what I have to offer you in return for a little love
from you:
1.
To all those who remember My Agony, with love and devotion,
at least once a day; forgiveness of all sins and the certainty of salvation for
their souls in the hour of their death.
2.
Total and everlasting repentance to those who will have a
Mass celebrated in honour of My Agonising Suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane.
3.
Success in spiritual matters to all those, who impress on
others, love and devotion to My Agonies on the Mount of Olives.
4.
Finally, and in order to prove to you that I want to break
open a dam of My Heart so as to let flow a flood of My Graces, I promise those
who spread this devotion to My agony in the Garden of Gethsamane, the following
three graces:
A:
Total and final victory over the worst temptation to which they are
subjected;
B:
Direct power to save poor souls from purgatory;
C:
Great enlightenment and strength to fulfil My Will.
All
of these, My precious gifts, I will definitely give to those who carry what I
had said, and who, therefore, remember and venerate with love and sympathy.
My great, incomprehensible Agony on the Mount of Olives.
(San
Giovanni Rotondo – 1965).
******************************
PRAYER OF ST. GERTRUDE THE GREAT
A Prayer which would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said.
Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great that the following prayer would release 1,000 souls from Purgatory each time it is said. The prayer was later extended to include living sinners as well.
“Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most Precious Blood of
Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today,
for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the
Universal Church, those in my own home and within my family.
Amen.”
******************************
IMITATION OF THE HOLY CROSS
God all powerful, who has suffered on the tree of the cross
be with us, Holy Cross of Jesus Christ have pity on us.
Holy Cross of Jesus Christ be our hope.
Holy Cross of Jesus Christ turn away from us all sharp weapons.
Holy Cross of Jesus Christ turn away from us all evil.
Holy Cross of Jesus Christ make us walk in the paths of salvation.
Holy Cross of Jesus Christ preserve us from all spiritual and temporal
accidents. Holy Cross of Jesus
Christ may I adore Thee. Holy Cross of Jesus now and forever, Jesus of Nazareth,
crucified, have pity on us, make the invisible fly far from us now and for ever
and ever. Amen.
(Holy Mary, Mother of God, St. Joseph, St. Michael Archangel,
and Holy Angels protect us).
Our Lord has promised to bless him who recites or procures
this prayer for himself or others, and to punish him who scoffs at it.
He how reads their prayer daily shall be warned of the approach of his
death, three days by a divine sign.
He who reads theirs or hears it read or carries it about him
shall not die a sudden death. He
shall not be burned or drowned or poisoned.
If this prayer is put on a person in an epileptic fit, he or she will be
relieved, if not cured.

PRAYER TO GOD FOR PEACE ON EARTH AND TO OUR LADY, QUEEN OF ANGELS,FOR PROTECTION.
According to information from a reliable source the following prayer was disclosed to a devout priest in Rome during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, when it was revealed to him that those who say the prayer with devotion and faith would be spared from the great sufferings that are soon to come in the world.
O Jesus! Divine Saviour! be merciful, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.
Powerful God! Holy God! Immortal God! Have compassion upon us and the whole world. Amen.
Grace and mercy, my Jesus, during the present danger! Shield us with Thy Precious Blood. Amen.

A Bernadine Sister was shown in spirit the vast desolation caused by the devil throughout the world, and at the same time she heard the blessed Virgin telling her that it was true, hell had been let loose upon earth, and that the time had come to pray to her as queen of angels and to ask of her the assistance of the Heavenly Legions to fight against these deadly foes of God and men.
“But my good Mother”, she replied, “you who are so kind could you not send them without our asking?” “No”, Our Lady answered; “because prayer is one of the conditions required by God Himself for obtaining favours”. Then the Blessed Virgin communicated the following prayer, bidding her to get it printed and distribute it gratis.
******************************
August the Queen of Heaven! Soverign Mistress of Angels! Thou Who from the beginning has received from God the Power and mission to crush the head of satan; we humbly beseech Thee to send thy holy Legions that under thy command and by thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits; encounter them on every side; resist their bold attacks and drive them hence into the abyss of eternal woe. Amen.
“Who is Like Unto God!”

Jesus meek and humble of heart make my heart like Thine.
Abortion is an unspeakable crime against God and innocent human life. Would you spiritually adopt one baby in the womb in danger of abortion? Just pray that the life of the little one, whom you spiritually and mentally adopt, may be continued to birth and beyond its birth, so that this child may have its God given right to life, and come to know, love and serve God on earth, and then be happy with him forever in heaven. This spiritual, mental adoption is simply a personal resolution to pray daily, at least once for a year, for a particular child in the womb in danger of deliberate abortion.
The following daily prayer is suggested:
“Jesus, my Lord, through the intercession of Mary, Your Mother, who bore You so lovingly and of Saint Joseph, strong man of faith, who protected You both, I pray to You for the life of the unborn child who is in danger of abortion, the one I have spiritually adopted. Please give to the parents of this particular child the grace and courage to bring it to the life You have destined for him, her”.
During your earthly life this spiritually adopted child will be known to God. But, in eternal life, you will find a surprised happiness in each other’s company.

These two invocations were taught by Our Lord to St. M. Martha Cambon, deceased, in the Visitation of Chamery, France, March 21, 1907. The Sister received from our Lord a double “Mission”; constantly to invoke the HOLY WOUNDS herself, and to revive this devotion in the world.
Promises of Our Lord to Sr. Mary Martha:
“I will grant all that is asked of Me by the invocation of MY HOLY WOUNDS. You must spread the devotion”.
“With My WOUNDS and My DIVINE HEART you can obtain everything.”
“The sinner who will say: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the WOUNDS of Our Lord Jesus Christ, etc., will obtain conversion.”
“The HOLY WOUNDS are the treasures for the Souls in Purgatory”.
“The CHAPLET OF MERCY is a counterpoise to My justice, it restrains My vengeance.”
“At each word that you pronounce of the CHAPLET OF MERCY I allow a drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner”.
