THE HOLY MASS as Explained to Catalina by Jesus and Mary

Catalina Rivas of Cochabamba, Bolivia, who now dwells in Mérida, Yucatán, México. She is said to receive Messages from Jesus, Mary, and the angels. She has the approval of her Bishop, René Fernández Apaza, who has given his imprimatur to her Messages. The following text is the reproduction of booklet, “The Holy Mass,” in which Our Lord and Our Lady explain to Catalina what is really going on during the Mass in the spiritual realm, and how we should be more concentrated on the great mysteries that are taking place.
Bo. Daniel Gagnon, OMI, of the Commission for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Archdiocese of Mexico, wrote about this book: “I do not find anything against the faith or the customs of the Church. It is not my function to confirm its supernatural character; nevertheless, I recommend it for its spiritual inspiration.”

The testimony of Catalina on the Holy Mass
     In a marvelous catechesis, the Lord and the Virgin Mary have been instructing us first on how to pray the Rosary, that being to pray it with our hearts, and meditate and enjoy the moments when we encounter God and our Blessed Mother. They have also instructed us on the way to make a good confession and, in this document, a teaching on what happens during the Holy Mass and how to live it with our hearts.
     This is the testimony that I must and want to give to the whole world, for the greater Glory of God and for the salvation of all of those who want to open their hearts to the Lord. It is also given so that many souls consecrated to God will rekindle the fire of their love for Christ, some of whom are the owners of the hands that have the power to bring Him to our world so that He can become our nourishment. It is also given for others so that they break lose of the “routine practice” of receiving Him, and relive the amazement of their daily encounter with Love. And it is given so that my lay brothers and sisters from the entire world live the greatest Miracle with their hearts: the celebration of the Eucharist.

77 FRUITS OF THE HOLY MASS by Father M. von Cochem

To omit hearing Mass merely from carelessness or indolence would be proof that we were either ignorant of, or indifferent to, the divine treasures it contains. God grant that those who read this may in future appreciate more fully this pearl of great price, value it more highly, seek it more diligently.

77 Fruits of Holy Mass by Father Martin von Cochem (1625-1712)

1. For your salvation, God the Father sends his beloved Son down from heaven.
2. For your salvation, the Holy Spirit changes bread and wine into the true Body and Blood of Christ.
3. For your sake, the Son of God comes down from heaven and conceals Himself under the form of the Sacred Host.
4. He even abases Himself to such an extent as to be present in the minutest particle of the Sacred Host.
5. For your salvation, He renews the saving mystery of the Incarnation.
6. For your salvation, He is born anew into the world in a mystic manner whenever Holy Mass is celebrated.
7. For your salvation, He performs on the altar the same act of worship He performed when on earth.
8. For your salvation, He renews His bitter passion in order that you may participate in it.
9. For your salvation, He mystically renews His death, and sacrifices for you His precious life.
10. For your salvation, He sheds His blood in a mystical manner and offers it up for you to the Divine Majesty.

PROMISES OF OUR LORD JESUS TO THOSE WHO VENERATE THE IMAGE OF DIVINE MERCY

Jesus also made specific promises to those who venerate the Image of Divine Mercy. He told St. Faustina,

"These rays shield souls from the wrath of My Father. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him". (Diary 299)

"I promise that the soul that will venerate this Image will not perish. I also promise victory over its enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory. (Diary 48)

I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this Image with the signature: “Jesus, I trust in You.” (Diary 327)

By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it. (Diary 570)

By means of this Image I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works. (Diary 724)

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS - September 15

THE HAIL MARY OF OUR SORROWFUL MOTHER

Hail Mary, full of sorrows, the Crucified is with thee; tearful art thou amongst women, and tearful is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of the Crucified, give tears to us, Crucifiers of  thy Son, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

AN ACT OF CONTRITION

Virgin most afflicted, how ungrateful have I been in the past to my God, in return for all His  benefits. Now, I repent in bitterness of heart, humbly asking pardon for  the offence done to His infinite goodness, and resolved 
by the help of heavenly  grace to offend Him no more. Ah! by all the pains which thou didst suffer  in the cruel Passion of thy dear Jesus, I pray thee, with fervent sighs, to  obtain for me pardon and mercy for all my grievous sins. Obtain that the same sword which pierced thy soul may pierce mine also, that I may live and die  in the love of my Lord, and share eternally in that glory, which He has  purchased for me with His most Precious Blood.  Amen.

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS - September 15

ST. FAUSTINA KOWALSKA Apostle of Divine Mercy

Saint Faustina Kowalska was a Polish nun who received a series of astounding revelations from Jesus! These messages are among the most important revelations ever given to the world! Jesus told Saint Faustina that the final age of the world was approaching. The message he was now giving to the world through her was specifically intended to prepare mankind for the end of the world. "Before I come as a just judge, I am coming FIRST as "King of Mercy"! Let all men now approach the throne of my mercy with absolute confidence! Some time before the the last days of final justice arrive, there will be given to mankind a great sign in the heavens of this sort: all the light of the heavens will be totally extinguished. There will be a great darkness over the whole earth. Then a great sign of the cross will appear in the sky. From the openings from where the hands and feet of the savior were nailed will come forth great lights - which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will happen before the very final days. It is the sign for the end of the world. After it will come the days of justice! Let souls have recourse to the fount of my mercy while there is still time! Woe to him who does not recognize the time of my visitation."

ST. FAUSTINA KOWALSKA Apostle of Divine Mercy

CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY

How to Recite the Chaplet of Divine Mercy


The Chaplet of Mercy is recited using ordinary rosary beads of five decades. At the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts the Chaplet is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Faustina and followed by a closing prayer.


Optional Opening Prayers


You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.


O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY

THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET FOR THE SICK AND THE DYING

The Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, has asked that Eucharistic Adorers pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet during Adoration and include the intentions of the sick and those dying in that hour. The prayer originated from a vision that St. Faustina had of an Angel, the executor of divine wrath, on the evening of September 13, 1935. She wrote: "He was clothed in a dazzling robe, his face gloriously bright, a cloud beneath his feet. From the cloud, bolts of thunder and flashes of lightning were springing into his hands; and from his hand they were going forth, and only then were they striking the earth. When I saw this sign of divine wrath which was about to strike the earth, and in particular a certain place, which for good reasons I cannot name, I began to implore the angel to hold off for a few moments, and the world would do penance.

THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET FOR THE SICK AND THE DYING

THE IMAGE OF THE MERCIFUL JESUS and His Promises

The Lord Jesus expressed His desire to have an image painted according the vision experienced by Saint Faustina on February 22, 1931 in her convent cell in Plock, Poland.

"Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: 'Jesus, I trust in You'. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and then throughout the world. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over its enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I, Myself will defend it as My own glory."

This is the precious original Imageof Divine Mercy, now kept in the 

International Shrine of Divine Mercy 

in Vilnius, Lithuania where it was painted.

12 PROMISES OF DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

FEASTS OF THE THREE SACRED HEARTS...Messages of God the Father and His Promises to Devotees of His Sacred Heart

On April 13, 2002, in a message to the world through Chris Courtis, God the Father asked that devotion to His Sacred Heart be spread and that His feast day be established the Thursday before the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Friday) and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Saturday). These are all moveable feasts and this year they fall on June 10, 11, and 12.


The feasts of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary are well known, and now with the addition of the feast of the Sacred Heart of God the Father in 2002, they are known as the Feasts of the Three Sacred Hearts.


According to Our Lady, "It is imperative that men realize that the feasts of these Three Sacred Hearts are not just to receive graces, but also to make reparation against the sins committed against Our Three Hearts. These are holy days, holy days in June when all Three Hearts are united as One." (May 25, 2002 through Chris Courtis)
  
The following is:
1. The original message from God the Father,
2. A message from Jesus explaining consecration to the Sacred Heart of the Father, and
3. Our Lady's instructions for observing the three feast days.


Message from GOD THE FATHER to the world


April 13, 2002 through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.
(I see St. Michael the Archangel. He's blowing the trumpet. He says, "All kneel down before Our Lord, and God and Creator" I see God the Father! I see Him! I see the Holy Spirit, too. He's coming to rest on a cloud. By His left arm I see Jesus. I see His mother holding Jesus in her arms. I see St. Joseph by the right hand of Jesus. Jesus is a child. He's nine months old. I see angels, the little faces that Mary steps on, I see them. I see angels dressed in blue robes, in white robes. I see St. Michael on the right, St. Gabriel on the left. I see in the background three people. It's St. Therese of the Child Jesus. I see St. Thomas More, but I should point out he doesn't look like that in the picture. His nose isn't big either. I see St. Anna, too, dressed all in white. Our Lady says that I should look up to see God the Father. God the Father, there He is. I see His Sacred Heart. He says,)


My dear ones,


Today I come among you to establish devotion to My Sacred Heart. On this anniversary day and on every anniversary day up until the date that I choose, I shall appear. Today my message is this: I wish that all people throughout the world have a devotion to My Sacred Heart. (He's holding out His Heart.) I wish My Sacred Heart to be spread and to be put beside the Sacred Heart of My Son, Jesus, and before the Immaculate Heart of your mother, Mary.


My children, this June shall begin the special day, My feast day of My Fatherly Sacred Heart. The day established by My Church for the Sacred Heart of My Son, Jesus, the day before that, is My feast day of My Sacred Heart.


I did not just come to reveal that date to you, but to tell you that I wish for everyone to know the eight promises that I shall give for those who have a devotion to My Sacred Heart.


1. I shall establish peace within all families and the father shall be the head of that household.
2. I will bring peace to a nation who so consecrates themselves to My Sacred Heart, or in your case, state.
3. I shall also protect these children from war, poverty and hunger. Plus, I shall establish peace within that community who has a devotion to My Sacred Heart.
4. I shall give to you My Divine and Most Holy Will. The people who consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart of Me, their Father, shall learn to live and pray in The Divine Will. This gift I can give to anyone I choose and I freely choose to dispose this gift upon you. When you consecrate yourselves to My Sacred Heart, you shall live, know, and do My Will.
5. Those who consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart shall also be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to Mary, your most holy mother. They shall not be My people, but they shall be My children, sons and daughters of God most high. As Jesus is My Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, and as Mary is My beloved daughter, so shall you all be sons and daughters of God, a beloved royal family, consecrated to My Most Sacred Heart.
6. (He's looking over everyone.) I shall establish within each person the grace of loving Me, their Father, with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their mind. If anyone comes to Me and consecrates his soul and his life to My Sacred Heart, I shall fill him with the burning desire of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit shall imprison his heart with fire and it shall be set on fire for love of Me and their mother Mary, and Jesus, My Son. I shall do this to every heart that consecrates themselves to me, the Sacred Heart of the Father.
7. I will answer your prayers powerfully and unexpectedly. But know this, you shall gain the gift of the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Therefore, if it is not in The Kingdom of the Divine Will for you to ask of this, then it shall not be given unto you. If you are led by the Spirit and with the Divine Will, I will answer your prayers.
8. I will heal the hearts of My children. I see your pain. I see your sufferings. And if I in all My glory can cry in seeing you suffer, then know that I rejoice in healing men's hearts. Come to Me, My children who suffer and who cry, and I shall heal your heart and make it like unto My Heart, rich in love and mercy and free from wounds and injuries. Just a touch of the Golden Love from My Heart is enough to heal your hearts of pain forever.This is what I have come to say today. The eight promises I shall give to all nations, all kindred and tongues and people who accept My Heart as the Sacred Heart of the Father.
In 1917 your Blessed Mother has asked you for devotion to her Immaculate Heart to stop World War II. Now, before the coming chastisements and before a greater war that may be looming in the future, I come to ask for this devotion to not only be spread, but practiced in all religious institutions and homes throughout the world. I tell you in truth. Those who love God their Father would humble themselves before My Son, and those who seek to not only have a devotion to Me, but to serve Me should love and serve their mother. This is My desire and My wish. I bless you today with the sign of the Most Holy Trinity, which is the cross and I extend to you as a blessing My Most Fatherly, Sacred, Loving Heart. (He's blessing us with the Sign of the Cross. He says that He will come every year on this anniversary to speak about this devotion and He also says Mary shall now give me a private message.)


From JESUS, LORD AND LOVER OF THE DIVINE WILL April 23, 2001 at 3 pm in a private apparition to Chris Courtis. 


My dear ones,


Today I stand at the right hand of the Father with majesty and grace, and it is in that majesty and grace that I rule over everything in this world and in the next. 
My lesson today is on a sure way of living in and of doing My Most Holy Will, and that is by abiding in God My Father's Most Sacred Heart. When you abide in love, in My Father's Most Sacred Heart, you are attached to one single Will alone and that is the Will of the Father who has sent Me. To be one in love in My Father's Heart also means to be one in His Will. Make no mistake about this, My little ones, God My Father's Heart does exist.  It was only through God's Most Loving Heart, love beating with His Most Holy Will, that everything did come into being.


And it was at the Immaculate Conception of My Mother that God My Father did enclose half of His heart to My mother Mary. And it was from her heart that My Body and Heart were formed.


That is why the Three Hearts, though, separate are joined together as One, One in love, and One in Will. Everything that God My Father does in His Sheer Will is done all in love.


But, My little ones, you must ask yourselves how can I be united to the Father's Sacred Heart?
First, you must love God the Father with all your heart and ask Him to grace you with love so that you may grow in God's love.
, you must love Him back. God the Father, just like Me His Son, waits for you to be affectionate with Us. Be affectionate with Us, tell God the Father that you love Him and that you wish to do His Will and thus live in It, for you cannot hope to live in Our Most Holy Will when you can't even do what He asks of you. I say to you this, you cannot be united to living in God's Most Holy Will without being united to His Most Sacred Heart.
The last and final thing you must do is consciously consecrate your heart to the Sacred Heart of the Father.  Pray simply and ask Him thus;


Our Father who resides in Heaven, I approach your throne and ask that You give to me the grace of abiding within your Most Sacred Heart.  I promise to love Thee and to adore Thee with all my heart and soul. O Mighty Father, love me and let me love you so that I may also be one in Your Most Holy Will. You, O God, are my Creator and my Father of Mercy and Love, and it is in Thee that I do trust that Thy love becomes my own, and that Thy Will becomes my will, and that I may live and do Thy Will, not just in this world, but in the next. O Most Merciful and Loving Heart of the Father, I love and trust in Thee through Your Son Jesus Christ. Ahmen or Amen, whichever one you prefer. I love you all my little ones and I bless you with my peace. Peace be with you all.


Message from MARY, MOTHER AND QUEEN OF THE DIVINE WILL To Jesus and Mary’s Prayer Group


Original Date - May 25, 2002 through Chris Courtis


Praised be Jesus!


My dear little children, I ask you this very day to be united to the Three Hearts – to the Sacred Heart of God the Father, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and to my Most Immaculate Heart. June 10, 2010 is the feast day of God the Father’s Sacred Heart. I call you to pray, to prepare yourselves for these three holy feast days.


On Thursday, June 10, 2010:
If you can, go to Confession that week or on Thursday, and receive the Blessed Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. And I invite you to pray one rosary and one chaplet (either God the Father Chaplet or the Divine Mercy Chaplet) in reparation for your sins and for others. (This chaplet is in addition to your regular daily rosary and chaplet.) Make reparation and console the heart of your God, your Father, who loves you.
Pray also thus on this day,


“ Oh God the Father, I consecrate myself to You in the oneness of Your Holy and Divine Will. I pray an act of reparation for the conversion of sinners and for healing of our souls and Your Heart. I pray this rosary and chaplet in penance for my own sins and for those of others. Amen.”


On Friday, June 11, 2010:
Again go to Mass, receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Recite again, one chaplet, one rosary, in reparation for the sins committed against Jesus’ Sacred Heart
Pray thus:


“My Lord Jesus, I consecrate myself to Your Most Sacred Heart. I consecrate my heart, my soul, and my body to Your Most Sacred Heart, and I pray that You will help me to do and make reparation and penance for my own sins and those of others. I offer you this chaplet and rosary in reparation and in penance for my own sins and for the conversion of all sinners. Amen.”


On Saturday, June 12, 2010:


Go to church and receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Pray one rosary and one chaplet, (may pray the Mother of Mercy Chaplet)
And pray thus again:


“Oh Mary, my Mother, my Most Holy and Blessed Mother, I come before you to make reparation for the sins committed against your Immaculate Heart, and I offer up to you this sacrifice of this rosary and this chaplet for the conversion of sinners and in penance for my own sins and those of others, to take the wounds and to heal your wounds, and to take the crown of thorns away from your heart and to heal your wounds forever more. Amen.”


It is imperative that men realize that the feasts of these Three Sacred Hearts are not just to receive graces, but also to make reparation against the sins committed against Our Three Hearts. These are holy days, holy days in June when all Three Hearts are united as One.


I promise you little children, if you pray and do reparation and penance to console Our Hearts and heal Our Hearts, Our Hearts will heal and We will in turn heal yours.


Do not underestimate the importance of this message that I give to you. It is imperative that men amend their ways and return to God and make atonement for their sins that grievously offend my Heart, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Sacred Heart of God Our Father. He will touch you with the touch of His golden love and heal your hearts, but He calls you to do the same for His, My Son’s, and my Immaculate Sorrowful Heart.

FEASTS OF THE THREE SACRED HEARTS...Messages of God the Father and His Promises to Devotees of His Sacred Heart

PROMISES ATTACHED TO THE CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Consecration to the Sacred Heart is the principle, the resume and the final term of all the devotional practices demanded by our Divine Lord for His Sacred Heart.


a) THIS CONSECRATION REJOICES THE SACRED HEART AND TERRIFIES THE DEVIL, AGAINST WHOM IT IS A POWERFUL WEAPON.
"Let us renew often our consecration to the Heart of Jesus," writes St. Margaret Mary, "and let us live that consecration faithfully. The Sacred Heart takes a singular pleasure in it.
"The devil has a most intense fear of the devotion to this loving Heart, because of the salvation of the multitude of souls which it effects in favor of those who consecrate themselves completely to the Sacred Heart for the purpose of loving It, honoring It, and glorifying It."

PROMISES ATTACHED TO THE CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

MEMORARE TO ST. JOSEPH

Remember, O most pure spouse of Mary, and my dearly beloved guardian, St. Joseph, that never was it known that anyone who invoked your care and requested your help was left without consolation.
Inspired with this confidence, I come to you, and with all the ardor of my spirit I commend myself to you.  Do not reject my prayer, O Foster Father of the Savior, but graciously receive and answer it.  Amen! 


The History of the Prayer and the Promise

Blessed Faustina wrote in her Diary: "Saint Joseph urged me to have a constant devotion to him. He himself told me to recite every day three prayers   [the Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be], and the Memorare once every day.  He looked at me with great kindness and gave me to know how much he is supporting this work [of mercy]. He has promised me his special help and  protection. I recite the requested prayers every day and  feel his special protection" (1203). 

MEMORARE TO ST. JOSEPH

THE AGONY OF JESUS IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE

Promises of our Lord Jesus Christ to devotees of The Agony of Jesus on the Mount of Olives:


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 Gethsemane, the following 3 graces:

THE AGONY OF JESUS IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE

PRAYER IN HONOR OF THE 7 SORROWS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

The Blessed Virgin Mary revealed to St. Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373) that seven graces are granted to the souls who honor her daily by saying seven Hail Mary's and meditating on her tears and dolors. 

1) I will grant peace to their families.
2) They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries.
3) I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.
4) I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5) I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6) I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother.
7) I have obtained (This Grace) from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

PRAYER IN HONOR OF THE 7 SORROWS OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

ROSARY OF THE HOLY WOUNDS

(To be said using Rosary beads)


On the crucifix and the first three beads:
O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.
O Powerful God!  O Holy God!  O Immortal God!  Have pity on us and upon the whole world!  Amen.
Pardon and mercy, O my Jesus, during these present dangers.  Pour on us Thy Most Precious Blood!  Amen.
O Eternal Father, be merciful to us through the Blood of Jesus Christ Thy only Son!  Be merciful to us, we beseech Thee!


On the large beads:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ. To heal the wounds of our souls.


On the small beads:
My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.


The Promises Of Our Lord For those Who Practice This Devotion:


1. At each word that you pronounce of the Rosary of the Holy Wounds, I allow a drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.
2. Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an immense fortune.
3. Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will be My crown of glory in Heaven!
4. I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds. You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be obtained.
5. From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace. You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.
6. My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them, you will always find a new love. My Wounds will cover all your sins.
7. Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions, even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit and will please My Heart.
8. In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.
9. When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds, and the pain will be alleviated.
10. This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and body.
11. A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls."
12. There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give true life.
13. This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.
14. Those who pray will humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.
15. The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.
16. The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.

17 PROMISES FOR THOSE WHO PRACTICE THE DEVOTION OF THE HOLY WOUNDS FOR THE POOR SOULS OF PURGATORY

Sister Mary Martha Chambon was a lay sister (not a nun) of the Monastery of the Visitation who died in Chambery, France in 1907. She reported visions of Jesus Christ who taught her specific prayers and meditations on His wounds. Some of her prayers have received the imprimatur of Archbishop Albert G. Meyer.

She reported that Jesus asked her to unite her sufferings with His as an Act of Reparation for the sins of the world. He gave her 17 promises and also told her:

'When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief . . . The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory.' 

THE ROSARY OF THE HOLY WOUNDS

On the crucifix and the first three beads say:

O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.
Holy God, Almighty God, Immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.
Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers, cover us with Your Precious Blood. Amen.
Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son; grant us mercy, we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen.

The following prayers composed by Our Lord are to be said using the rosary beads.

On the large beads (the Our Father beads):
Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ, to heal the wounds of our souls.

On the small beads (the Hail Mary beads):
My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.

End the rosary by repeating this three times:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ, to heal the wounds of our souls.

The Station of the Cross is a popular devotion consisting of appropriate meditations before each of 14 stations representing successive stages in the Passion of Our Lord. The Way of the Cross is the most heavily indulgenced devotion in the Catholic Church; it is a devotion reputed to have been originated by Our Lady herself, who, legend has it, set up the original Way of the Cross in Her backyard in Ephesus. Moreover, the great saints all affirm that meditation on the Passion and Death of Our Dear Savior is the most fruitful that one can engage in.
