The same verse is said once each day for the nine days. Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favor that I so earnestly seek, (mention your request) which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all souls. Amen. (Say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be three times each)
This is said on regular Rosary Beads. It's very important for our day and this year in particular. Will be good to add to your regular daily prayers. I will also add it to the right side bar along with the other Chaplets.
Novena to Christ the King Recite One Our Father, One Hail Mary and One Glory Be per day followed by the Novena Prayer:
O Lord our God, You alone are the Most Holy King and Ruler of all nations. We pray to You, Lord, in the great expectation of receiving from You, O Divine King, mercy, peace, justice and all good things. Protect, O Lord our King, our families and the land of our birth. Guard us we pray Most Faithful One. Protect us from our enemies and from Your Just Judgment Forgive us, O Sovereign King, our sins against you. Jesus, You are a King of Mercy. We have deserved Your Just Judgment Have mercy on us, Lord, and forgive us. We trust in Your Great Mercy. O most awe-inspiring King, we bow before You and pray; May Your Reign, Your Kingdom, be recognized on earth. Amen.
All Souls Day is a holy day set aside for honoring the dead. The day
is primarily celebrated in the Catholic Church, but it is also
celebrated in the Eastern Orthodox Church and a few other denominations
of Christianity. The Anglican church is the largest protestant church to
celebrate the holy day. Most protestant denominations do not recognize
the holiday and disagree with the theology behind it.
According to Catholic belief, the soul of a person who dies can go to
one of three places. The first is heaven, where a person who dies in a
state of perfect grace and communion with God goes. The second is hell,
where those who die in a state of mortal sin are naturally condemned by
their choice. The intermediate option is purgatory, which is thought to
be where most people, free of mortal sin, but still in a state of lesser
(venial) sin, must go.
Purgatory is necessary so that souls can be cleansed and perfected
before they enter into heaven. There is scriptural basis for this
belief. The primary reference is in 2 Maccabees, 12:26 and 12:32.
"Turning to supplication, they prayed that the sinful deed might be
fully blotted out... Thus made atonement for the dead that they might be
free from sin."
Additional references are found in Zechariah, Sirach, and the Gospel
of Matthew. Jewish tradition also reinforces this belief as well as the
tradition and teaching of the Church, which has been affirmed throughout
history.
Consistent with these teachings and traditions, Catholics believe
that through the prayers of the faithful on Earth, the dead are cleansed
of their sins so they may enter into heaven.
The belief in purgatory has not been without controversy. Certainly,
some flagrant abuses of the doctrine were used to raise money for the
Church during the renaissance. Famously, Martin Luther argued with the
monk, Johan Tetzel, over the sale of indulgences. Indulgences were sold
as spiritual pardons to the poor and applied to the souls of the dead
(or the living) to get people into heaven. The abuse of indulgences and
the blatant, sometimes fraudulent practice of selling indulgences for
money, led to Luther's protest.
When Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he omitted the
seven books of the canon which refer to prayers for the dead. He then
introduced the heretical belief that people are simply saved, or not,
and argued that there is no need to pray for the dead to get them into
heaven.
The Church reeled from Luther's accusation, and reformed its practice
of selling indulgences. However, it reemphasized the Biblical and
traditional practice of praying for the departed and the importance of
such prayers.
All Souls Day is celebrated in much of the western world on November
2. Other rites have their own celebrations. The Eastern Orthodox Church
has several such days throughout the year, mostly on Saturdays. All
Souls Day is not a holy day of obligation. It should not be confused
with All Saints' Day, which is a holy day of obligation.
Many cultures also mark the day differently. In North America,
Americans may say extra prayers or light candles for the departed. In
parts of Latin America, families visit the graves of their ancestors and
sometimes leave food offerings for the departed.
More about All Souls' Day from Wikipedia
All Souls' Day commemorates the faithful departed.
In Western Christianity, this day is observed principally in the
Catholic Church, although some churches of the Anglican Communion and
the Old Catholic Churches also celebrate it. The Eastern Orthodox
churches observe several All Souls' Days during the year. The Roman
Catholic celebration is associated with the doctrine that the souls of
the faithful who at death have not been cleansed from the temporal
punishment due to venial sins and from attachment to mortal sins cannot
immediately attain the beatific vision in heaven, and that they may be
helped to do so by prayer and by the sacrifice of the Mass (see
Purgatory).[1]
In other words, when they died, they had not yet attained full
sanctification and moral perfection, a requirement for entrance into
Heaven. This sanctification is carried out posthumously in Purgatory.
The official name of the celebration in the Roman Rite liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church is "The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed".[1]
Another popular name in English is Feast of All Souls. In some other languages the celebration, not necessarily on the same date, is known as Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos or de los Difuntos in Spanish-speaking countries; halottak napja in Hungary; Yom el Maouta in Lebanon, Israel and Syria).
The Western celebration of All Souls' Day is on 2 November and
follows All Saints' Day, which commemorates the departed who have
attained the beatific vision. If 2 November falls on a Sunday, the Mass
is of All Souls, but the Office is that of the Sunday. However, Morning
and Evening Prayer (Lauds and Vespers) for the Dead, in which the people
participate, may be said. In pre-1969 calendars, which some still
follow, and in the Anglican Communion, All Souls Day is instead
transferred, whenever 2 November falls on a Sunday, to the next day, 3
November, as in 2008.
The Eastern Orthodox Church dedicates several days throughout the
year to the dead, mostly on Saturdays, because of Jesus' resting in the
tomb on Saturday.
The Western celebration
All Souls' Day procession, Tucson, Arizona, 2008
Historically, the Western tradition identifies the general custom of
praying for the dead dating as far back as 2 Maccabees 12:42-46. The
custom of setting apart a special day for intercession for certain of
the faithful on November 2 was first established by St. Odilo of Cluny
(d. 1048) at his abbey of Cluny in 998.[2]
From Cluny the custom spread to the other houses of the Cluniac order,
which became the largest and most extensive network of monasteries in
Europe. The celebration was soon adopted in several dioceses in France,
and spread throughout the Western Church. It was accepted in Rome only
in the fourteenth century. While 2 November remained the liturgical
celebration, in time the entire month of November became associated in
the Western Catholic tradition with prayer for the departed; lists of
names of those to be remembered being placed in the proximity of the
altar on which the sacrifice of the mass is offered.[3]
The legend connected with its foundation is given by Peter Damiani in his Life of St Odilo:
a pilgrim returning from the Holy Land was cast by a storm on a
desolate island. A hermit living there told him that amid the rocks was a
chasm communicating with purgatory, from which perpetually rose the
groans of tortured souls. The hermit also claimed he had heard the
demons complaining of the efficacy of the prayers of the faithful, and
especially the monks of Cluny, in rescuing their victims. Upon returning
home, the pilgrim hastened to inform the abbot of Cluny, who then set 2
November as a day of intercession on the part of his community for all
the souls in Purgatory.
Eastern-Rite Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox churches
Among Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians, there are
several All Souls' Days during the year. Most of these fall on Saturday,
since Jesus lay in the Tomb on Holy Saturday. These are referred to as Soul Saturdays. They occur on the following occasions:
The Saturday of Meatfare Week (the second Saturday before Great Lent).the day before the Sunday of the Last Judgement
The second Saturday of Great Lent
The third Saturday of Great Lent
The fourth Saturday of Great Lent
Radonitsa (Monday or Tuesday after Thomas Sunday)
The Saturday before Pentecost
Demetrius Saturday (the Saturday before the feast of Saint Demetrius
of Thessaloniki.26 October) (In the Bulgarian Orthodox Church there is a
commemoration of the dead on the Saturday before the feast of Saint
Michael the Archangel.8 November, instead of the Demetrius Soul
Saturday)
(In the Serbian Orthodox Church there is also a commemoration of the
dead on the Saturday closest to the Conception of St. John the
Baptist.23 September)
Saturdays throughout the year are devoted to general prayer for the
departed, unless some greater feast or saint's commemoration occurs.
Protestantism and Roman Catholic Church
At the Reformation the celebration of All Souls' Day was fused with
All Saints' Day in the Anglican Church, though it was renewed
individually in certain churches in connection with the Catholic Revival
of the 19th century. The observance was restored with the publication
of the 1980 Alternative Service Book, and it features in Common Worship as a Lesser Festival called "Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls' Day)".
Among continental Protestants its tradition has been more tenaciously
maintained. Even Luther's influence was not sufficient to abolish its
celebration in Saxony during his lifetime; and, though its
ecclesiastical sanction soon lapsed even in the Lutheran Church, its
memory survives strongly in popular custom. Just as it is the custom of
French people, of all ranks and creeds, to decorate the graves of their
dead on the jour des morts, so German [3]
and Polish people stream to the graveyards once a year with offerings
of flowers and special grave lights (see the picture), and among Czech
people the custom of visiting and tidying graves of relatives on the day
is quite common even among atheists. In North America, however, most
Protestant acknowledgment of the holiday is generally secular,
celebrated in the form of Halloween festivities.
Folklore
The origins of All Souls' Day in European folklore and folk belief are related to customs of ancestor veneration[citation needed]
practised worldwide, through events such as the Chinese Ghost Festival,
the Japanese Bon Festival, or the Mexican Day of the Dead. The Roman
custom was that of the Lemuria.
In Tirol, cakes are left for them on the table and the room kept warm
for their comfort. In Brittany, people flock to the cemeteries at
nightfall to kneel, bareheaded, at the graves of their loved ones, and
to anoint the hollow of the tombstone with holy water or to pour
libations of milk on it. At bedtime, the supper is left on the table for
the souls.
In Bolivia, many people believe that the dead eat the food that is
left out for them. In Brazil people attend a mass or visit the cemetery
taking flowers to decorate their relatives' grave, but no food is
involved.
Often called “The Miraculous Saint”, Saint Jude is the patron saint of "lost causes" and "cases despaired
of " , when all other avenues are closed, he is the one to call upon, and his help often comes at the last moment. He is one whose aid is sought when all hope is lost, especially in grave health matters and life-and-death situations.
Saint Jude Thaddeus was closely associated with our Lord by blood relationship through Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin. A grand-nephew of these two saints, he is at once a nephew of Mary and Joseph, which places him in the relationship of cousin of our Lord. Saint Jude is known mainly as the author of the New Testament Epistle of Jude He heartens Christians to remain steadfast in the faith and foretells that false teachers, leading wicked lives and ridiculing religion, will arise, but that they will be punished. He likewise encourages Christians to build a spiritual edifice by living lives founded upon faith, love of God, hope, and prayer. He inspires the practice of love of neighbor; he urges Christians to endeavor to convert the heretics by the virtues of their lives.
St. Jude Thaddeus, relative of Jesus Christ, glorious Apostle and martyr, renowned for your virtues and miracles, faithful and
prompt intercessor of all who honor you and trust in you! You are a powerful patron and helper in great afflictions. I entreat you from the depths of my heart; come to my aid with your powerful intercession, for you have received from God the privilege to assist with your visible help those who almost despair of all hope. Look down upon me. Time and again I find myself discouraged and depressed by the troubles I must face. I know that others around me have burdens as heavy or heavier than mine but I sometimes come close to despairing that I will be able to continue carrying mine. Overwhelmed by these thoughts, I ask your help.
Do not forsake me in my sadness. Hasten to my aid. I will be grateful to you all my life and will honor you as my special patron. I will thank God for the graces bestowed upon you, and will encourage honor to you to best of my ability. Amen.
Let Us Pray
Glorious Apostle and martyr, St. Jude Thaddeus, whose life and accomplishments we celebrate and who used your gifts and talents to bring Christ's love to many people, pray for us today that the love of Christ in our lives may increase. Pray that we may renounce every sinful habit and refrain from all selfish actions. May we always know your intercession in danger and difficulty, and may we safely reach heaven to adore with you the most Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
O, Great Saint Jude
Whose traitor-sounding name
By man's perceptions crude
Confused is with the obloquy and blame
Of him who to our gain and his disaster
Betrayed so kind a Master;
We, seeing more clear, concede thee what was thine;
The glory of a place beside that board
Whereon, awaiting their predestined hour
Of bowing to all-Good, all-Love, all-Power,
Lay bread and wine
Before that Host adored
Through whom our hope and our salvation came;
Thy kinsman, and our Lord.
O, thou, the sad day done,
Taking the homeward road
To thine obscure abode
In the long shadows of the setting sun,
To meet the frightened crowd
Sobbing aloud,
With thine Aunt Mary silent in their midst,
Leaning upon
The faithful arm of John;
Saint Jude, who didst
Join them in unbelief
And utter agony of grief,
And in a voice of pain and terror cried:
"Saw'st thou--and thou--
Saws't thou indeed my Cousin crucified?"
O, by the memory of that hour of birth
Wherein Heaven's door opened to us of earth,
Befriend--befriend us now!
St. Anthony Mary Claret CLARETIAN ARCHBISHOP AND FOUNDER - Patron of Weavers, Savings, and Publishers Born: December 23, 1807, Sallent - Died: October 24, 1870, Fontfroide - Canonized: May 7, 1950 by Pope Pius XII
The founder of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Anthony Mary Claret died in the Cistercian monastery at Fontfroide in France on this date in 1870. He was canonized in 1950 and listed in the Roman Calendar in 1960. Anthony was born at Salent in the Diocese of Vich in Catalonia, Spain, in the year in which Napoleon invaded Spain. He was trained for manual labor, since his father was a weaver, but in 1829 he entered the seminary at Vich. Ordained to the priesthood in 1835, he was assigned as pastor in his home parish. Later he went to Rome to work for the Propagation of the Faith. He also entered the novitiate of the Jesuits but had to leave because of ill health, so he returned to Spain and was assigned as pastor of a parish. His apostolate consisted of rural preaching, conferences for the clergy and publications (he wrote more than 150 books). Because of his successful apostolate he aroused the animosity of some of the clergy and as a result he left Catalonia for the Canary Islands (1848).
After a year he returned to Catalonia and resumed his preaching apostolate.In 1849 Anthony gathered together five priests who formed the basis of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (popularly known as Claretians). At the suggestion of the Queen of Spain, Isabella II, Anthony was named archbishop of Santiago, Cuba (1850). For the next seven years he made pastoral visitations, preached against the slavery of the Negroes, and regularized numerous marriages. As a result of his activity he was frequently threatened with death and on one occasion an attempt was actually made on his life. In 1857 he was recalled to Spain as confessor to the queen. In this way he was able to exert some influence in the naming of bishops, set up a center of ecclesiastical studies at the Escorial, and work towards the recognition of religious orders in Spain. In 1869 he was in Rome, preparing for the First Vatican Council. He followed Isabella II into exile and at the insistence of the Spanish ambassador, was placed under house arrest in the Cistercian monastery at FontFroide, where he died at the age of 63. His remains were ultimately returned to Vich.
“We declare, we pronounce, and we define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.”
The 8th of December is an important day - the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It is also the day on which in 1947 Our Blessed Mother gave us the Hour of Grace.
Our Lady said as follows when she appeared to Sister Pierina in a little church in Montichiari, Italy: "It is my wish that every year, on 8th December, at noon, the HOUR OF GRACE FOR THE WORLD be celebrated. Many divine and bodily graces will be received through this devotion. Our Lord, my Divine Son Jesus, will send His overflowing mercy if good people will pray continuously for their sinful brother.... it is my wish that the HOUR OF GRACE FOR THE WORLD be made known and spread throughout the world. If anyone is unable to visit his church, yet will pray at home, he will also receive graces through me.... will find a secure heavenly ladder and receive protection and grace through my motherly heart."
THE REQUEST OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER FOR THE HOUR OF GRACE:
Our Lady promised she will hear any prayer we make at this time.
1. Day and time of the Hour of Grace: December 8th, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, to be started at 12:00 noon and continuing until 1:00 p.m. for one full hour of prayer.
2. During this hour, the person making the Hour of Grace either at home or at church must put away all distractions (do not answer the telephones, or answer any doors, or do anything but totally concentrate on your union with God during this special Hour of Grace).
3. Begin the Hour of Grace by praying three times the 51st Psalm with out-stretched arms. (Psalm 51 appears below).
4. The rest of the Hour of Grace may be spent in silent communication with God meditating upon the Passion of Jesus, saying the Holy Rosary, praising God in your own way, or by using favourite prayers, singing hymns, meditating upon other psalms, etc.
Psalm 51
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your unfailing Love; according to Your great Compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your Sight; so You are right in Your verdict and justified when You judge. 5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. 6 Yet You desired faithfulness even in the womb; You taught me wisdom in that secret place. 7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide Your Face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from Your Presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your Salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your Ways, so that sinners will turn back to You. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, You who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness. 15 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare Your praise. 16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. 17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart You, God, will not despise. 18 May it please You to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then You will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
The Chaplet of Unity from Jesus, King of All Nations Don't miss Jesus' Words and Promises following the Chaplet

In Your great mercy, through the Motherly mediation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Queen, forgive our sinfulness, heal our brokenness, and renew our hearts in the Faith, and Peace, and Love, and Joy of Your Kingdom, that we may be one in You.
Recite on the ten small beads of each of the five decades:

PROMISES
Jesus spoke these words and promises to His servant's spiritual mother concerning the Chaplet of Unity:
"Pray this Chaplet of Unity under My Sovereign Kingship to the Father in My Name, as Jesus, King of All Nations. Through My
Mother's prayerful mediation and intercession to Me, I will ask the Father to pour out with abundant newness and to magnify the anointing power of the Holy Spirit upon My Church under the Holy Father, upon nations of all peoples, and upon all individual souls whom I love. This Chaplet will be a special fountain, whereby souls can come to refresh and renew themselves and to drink from the waters of My Merciful Healing Love which I will pour out on them as they pray."
"Pray My Chaplet of Unity for the suffering souls in Purgatory. They especially need the healing of My merciful graces for they cannot pray for themselves. Many will be progressively healed and I tell you multitudes released!"
"I promise to give this Chaplet of Unity great power over My wounded Sacred Heart when prayed with faith and confidence to heal the brokenness of My people's lives caused by so much sin, selfishness, error, division and disunity. Pray this Chaplet for repentance and forgiveness to open and reconcile your hearts to Mine, that you may receive My Word, and act upon My Will for you. Confession, Confession, Confession, My children! Confess your sins to Me through My priests that I may cover you with My Mercy. Pray this Chaplet that a renewal of your hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit will lead to a daily conversion in Faith, Peace, Love, and Joy within your souls. I promise you 'My Peace, My Divine Presence within your souls,' which the worldly-minded cannot and does not understand! My Peace knows no bounds or limits! By imploring Me in this manner, you will turn away from sin and its destructive effects, and toward a continual greater and greater abundance of graces from Me in My Mercy."
"Yes, in this devotion to Me as Jesus, King of All Nations, entreat My Kingly Heart with the prayer of this Chaplet of Unity that I Myself, your sovereign Lord Jesus Christ, have given you! Pray and ask for the spiritual wholeness and healing of your own souls, for the union of your own will with God's Will, for the healing of your families, friends, enemies, relationships, Religious Orders, communities (of all kinds), countries, nations, the world, and unity within My Church under the Holy Father! I shall grant many spiritual, physical, emotional, and psychological healings for those who pray this prayer if it is beneficial to their salvation according to My Most Holy Will! Unity and oneness in Spirit was My own prayer for all mankind and My Church as My own last testament before I gave My life as Savior of all mankind! As I Am one with My Father and the Holy Spirit, My Will is that all mankind be one in Me, so that one Faith, one Fold, and one Shepherd will be gathered together under My Sovereign Kingship as LORD."
"Yes, My beloved, by praying this Chaplet I have had you labor for, and have taught you, you will replace My great sorrow with Infinite JOY! Your life imitates My Mother who labors in My Grace by the power of the Holy Spirit to form, give birth, mature, help, reconcile and mediate to Me, your God, souls and nations of souls, to obtain the extension of My Reign in the hearts of My people, and thus I shall unite all mankind, even unto the end of time, under My Divine Reign of Kingship. Those special souls who honor Me in this devotion will do the same, and to them I promise to grant My Kingly Blessings!"
"I, Jesus, Son of the Most High God, Who AM Sovereign LORD, promise to hold out to the souls who pray My Chaplet of Unity the Scepter of My Kingship and grant them mercy, pardon, and protection in times of severe weather and plagues. I extend this promise not only for yourselves, but also for individuals for whom you pray. No, My beloved, sin and the evils committed by mankind are too great. No longer will I spare My judgment to correct the conscience of mankind as a whole. But this devotion and Chaplet prayed with repentance, confidence, and love, will heal, save, and unite souls to My Mercy who otherwise would be lost. Any harm or danger, spiritual or physical, whether it be to soul, mind, or body, will I protect these souls against, and clothe them over with My own mantle of Kingly Mercy. To this I add the promise of the assistance of My Most Holy Mother's mediation on their behalf. Even if you die, you shall not be lost, for you shall know salvation and union with Me in the Kingdom of My Father where we reign with the Holy Spirit, eternally the Divine Trinity, One God."
"Behold, I will close their wounds and give them health, and reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth" (Jer 33:6).

The Novena of Chaplets of Unity Jesus told His servant's spiritual mother, "Make a Novena to Me of the Chaplet of Unity and I will powerfully and expediently answer your prayers according to My Sovereign and Most Holy Will!"
The faithful can accomplish this by choosing to repeat praying the Chaplet of Unity nine (9) times in succession. This can be done at one time, hourly or daily. "For the measure you measure with will be measured back to you" (Lk 6:38).
I had wanted to do this since the Doors of Mercy opened last December, but between the household medical emergencies and the routine daily emergencies - especially in the last 6 months, just never got to it. As I type this, I'm still wearing a wrist brace for carpel tunnel. At night I must wear the ones with the splints. Anyway. I want to offer this Divine Mercy Chaplet for just $12 during this Jubilee year of Mercy. Please, no more than 3 per order!
(And if you order 3, they're just $10 each!) Regular price $20

Now, the Traditional color is of course, red. But I also have an abundance of blue crackles which I am willing to substitute if you desire, but you MUST mention this when ordering or in the PayPal instructions or email me. The cord and the bead color are the only substitutions at this special price! I hope we can all let our lights shine brightly among all we know and even those we don't know! The world is so full of evil and injustice, we MUST NOT let this Year of Mercy go by without availing ourselves of Christ's MERCY! I personally don't think it's coincidence that next year is the centennial of our Lady of Fatima and the Pope issues this Jubilee Year of Mercy with special HOLY DOORS in every Diocese. GO TO CONFESSION, stay in the state of grace .. it's VERY VERY important now. This really could be the time that brings the triumph of our Lady's Immaculate Heart. Don't toss eternal bliss away for a few bells and whistles in a place that is passing before our eyes! If you don't know your Faith that well ... take the time to LEARN .... most people devote more time to planning a vacation than their eternity :-( And eternity is an awfully long to to lament over what could have been easily prevented! PRAY ABOUT IT ... PRAY MORE ANYWAY AND DO PENANCE .... MAY ALL BE SAVED AND NONE BE LOST!!
The same verse is said once each day for the nine days.
