LIFE OFFERING TO THE INTENTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

The following messages, prayers and promises were received by a privileged Hungarian nun, a consoling soul, who in her humility and obedience to her spiritual director wishes to remain anonymous. Mary, Our Heavenly Mother, implores those who receive Holy Communion daily,or at least weekly, to offer their lives to the glory of God and to save their souls,that they may not be damned but will receive, at their last hour, the graces of eternal life

* * *

THE FIVE PROMISES OF OUR HEAVENLY MOTHER TO THOSE WHO OFFER THEIR LIVES TO HER

1. "Their name will be written in the hearts of Jesus and Mary,inflamed by love."

2. "Their life offerings, together with the infinite merits of Jesus,can save many souls from damnation."

3. "None of their family members will go to hell, even if it seems otherwise, because they will receive in the depths of their souls the graces of sincere contrition before the soul departs from their bodies."

4. "On the day they offer their lives, their loved ones suffering in Purgatory will be released."

5. "I will be with them in the hour of their deaths. They will not know Purgatory. I will carry them in their souls straight to the presence of the Glorious Trinity, where they will live with Me in a special place created by God and will rejoice forever"

THE TEXT OF THE LIFE OFFERING (1955)

"My dear Jesus, before the Trinity, Our Heavenly Mother,

 and the whole Heavenly Court, united with Your Most Precious Sacred Blood 

and Your Sacrifice on Calvary, hereby I offer my whole life to the intention of 

Your Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Together with my life 

I place at Your disposal all Holy Masses, all my Holy Communions,

 all my good deeds, all my sacrifices, and the sufferings of my entire life 

for the adoration and supplication of the Holy Trinity, 

for unity in our Holy Mother Church, for the Holy Father and for priests,

 for good priestly vocations, and for all souls until the end of the world.

* * *

O my Jesus, please accept my life sacrifice and my offerings and give

me Your grace that I may persevere obediently until my death. Amen."

* * *

This life offering must be done with humble heart, firm resolution and clear intent. 

All prayer, good deeds, suffering and work done with pure intention has great merit, 

if it is offered together with the merits, the sufferings and the blood of Jesus Christ.

It is recommended to do this life offering as soon as you feel ready, and

renew it from time to time

Consecration of Families to The  Most Holy Sacred Heart

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thou didst reveal to the blessed Margaret Mary 

Thy desire to rule over Christian families; behold, in order to please Thee,

 we stand before Thee this day, to proclaim Thy full sovereignty over our family. 

We desire henceforth to live Thy life, we desire that the virtues, 

to which Thou hast promised peace on earth, may flower in the bosom of our family; 

we desire to keep far from us the spirit of the world, which Thou hast condemned. 

Thou art King of our hearts by our love of Thee alone,

 with which our hearts are on fire and whose flame we shall nourish 

by frequent reception of the Holy Eucharist. 

Be pleased, O Sacred Heart, to preside over our gathering together, 

to bless our spiritual and temporal affairs, to ward off all annoyance from us, to bless our joys and comfort our sorrows.

 If any of us has ever been so unhappy

 as to fall into the misery of displeasing Thee, grant that he may remember, 

O Heart of Jesus, that Thou art full of goodness and mercy 

toward the repentant sinner. And when the hour of separation strikes and death 

enters our family circle, whether we go or whether we stay,

 we shall all bow meekly before Thine eternal decrees. 

This shall be our consolation, to remember that the day will come, 

when our entire family, once more united in heaven, shall be able to sing of

 Thy glory and Thy goodness forever. May the immaculate Heart of Mary 

and the glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph vouchsafe to offer Thee this

 our act of consecration, and to keep the memory thereof alive in us 

all the days of our lives.

Glory to the Heart of Jesus, our King and our Father! Amen.

Act of Consecration to The Most Holy Immaculate Heart of Mary

O most pure heart of Mary, full of goodness, show your love towards us. 

Let the flame of your heart, O Mary, descend on all people. 

We love you immensely. 

Impress on our hearts true love so that we may long for you.

O Mary, gentle and humble of heart, remember us when we sin. 

You know that all people sin.

 Grant that through your most pure and motherly heart,

 we may be healed from every spiritual sickness.

 Grant that we may always experience the goodness of your motherly heart,

 and that through the flame of your heart we may be converted. Amen.

(Dictated by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj of Medjugorje, 18 November 1983.)

Act of Consecration to The Most Holy Immaculate Heart of Mary

 I, N., a faithless sinner-- renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Mother,

 the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works;

 and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, 

to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him 

than I have ever been before.

In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day, 

for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee,

 as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior,

 and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; 

leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, 

and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure,

 for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen

Saint Michael The Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel

Defend us in the day of battle

Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray

and do Thou, O Prince of The Heavenly Host

by The Power of God

Cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits

who prowl through the earth seeking the ruin of souls

Memorare  of Saint Bernard

Remember O Most Gracious Virgin Mary

that never was it known that anyone who fled to Thy protection,

implored Thy help or sought Thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence I fly unto Thee

O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother, to Thee do I come,

before Thee I stand sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of The Word Incarnate

despise not my petition but in Thy Mercy hear me and answer me

Prayer of the Holy Angel at Fatima

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore You profoundly, and I offer

 You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, 

present in all Tabernacles of the earth, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and

 indifferences by which He Himself is offended and by the Infinite Merits 

of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

 I beg of you the conversion of poor sinners. Amen

The Divine Mercy Chaplet

The Divine Mercy Chaplet is to be prayed, in addition to daily devotion, hourly in Eucharistic Adoration Chapels for the sick and dying

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trepasses as we forgive those who trepass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of the sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

On the large bead before each decade:

Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

On the 10 small beads of each decade:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Conclude with (after five decades):

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (3 times)

 

Jesus dictated the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to Sister Faustina in Vilnius in 1935. In the revelations that followed He disclosed to her its value and efficacy, as well as the promises He attached to it.

In this prayer we are offering "the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity" of Jesus Christ to God the Father. We are uniting ourselves with His sacrifice offered on the Cross for the salvation of the world. By offering God the Father His "most dearly beloved Son", we are using the most convincing argument with which to be heard. We are asking for mercy "for us and for the whole world." The word "us" refers to the person reciting the chaplet and those for whom he desires to offer it or for whom he should pray. The "whole world" indicates all people living on earth and the souls in Purgatory. By praying the words of this chaplet we are performing an act of love towards our neighbor, which along with trust, is the indispensable condition for obtaining graces.

Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, unto us Thy servants,

 that we may rejoice in continual health of mind and body; 

and, by the glorious intercession of Blessed Mary ever Virgin, 

may be delivered from present sorrow and enjoy eternal gladness. 

Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
