Voting for Obama
"The Democratic State Assemblyman representing the district where the convention was held gave a great speech welcoming the convention as did several local union presidents. We also heard from Communists holding local office in a number of states.
Leadership was elected including Sam Webb as national chairman, Jarvis Tyner as vice chairman and Roberta Wood as secretary-treasurer.
The convention was united and enthusiastic and delegates left with renewed confidence and determination to work to consolidate the defeat of the ultra-right and move forward to repair the damage they have caused to democracy and the rights of working people.

The main reports, resolutions the PowerPoint presentation will soon be available at the cpusa.org website where there is also a video of the opening session. Reports on the convention are on the peoplesworld.org website. Ohio delegates are anxious to meet with groups to discuss the convention and how to move ahead. Let me know if you would like to set up a meeting." http://peoplesworld.org/highlights-from-cpusa-s-29th-convention-includes-video
The words of untruth CPUSA use as a web to attract youth and unknowing people who are caring, are Race and Immigration. " Defeating the right-wing's use of racism and anti-immigrant hysteria was seen as critical to success in both the electoral and economic arenas." http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LIgkGDRyUEoJ:peoplesworld.org/highlights-from-cpusa-s-29th-convention-includes-video+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Their mantra is "This racist conspiracy can be defeated". It is their wedge to break apart the American fiber. Perhaps, Dinesh D'Sousa was right about the mentality of the American people voting for Barack Obama, to cleanse our past of Slavery in America. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-08-30/news/33504809_1_obama-s-america-rupert-murdoch-thumbs and CPUSA uses this term liberally.

Taken from CPUSA Website: http://www.cpusa.org/defeating-the-rightwing-on-the-road-to-socialism/ "A good measure of this is the thousands of people who "like" us on Facebook. As of last week, 20,000 liked us on the People's World page and 18,000 liked us on the Communist Party page.
And in both instances, the number steadily grows week by week.
Here is a pool of possible new members if we work at it. Plus there are the hundreds of people in mass movements who appreciate our role and if approached right might well join the Party.
What a difference that would make in our ability to bring to life our strategic policy both now and in the future!
Can we do any less?"
Change? That's Obama's "Change",...it's no wonder CPUSA endorses Obama. At 4:53minutes into video, it's the change Obama had in mind.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JVOkUGmERq0#!

October 13th, 1973: A Message from Our Lady of Akita
Image of Our Lady of Akita
Fifty-six years following the anniversary of the greatest miracle of the sun in Fatima, October 13th, 1973, Our Lady of Akita gives humanity a message.
She continued, "As I told you, if people do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the Flood, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests."
The statue wept for the last time on September 15, Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.
Sr. Agnes was totally and incurably deaf when she entered the community, having lost her hearing on March 16, 1973. Sister was able to speak, and understood spoken messages by lip reading. As predicted by her guardian Angel, she temporarily regained her hearing on October 13, 1974. Deafness returned on March 7, 1975. Her hearing was permanently restored on May 30, 1982, as predicted by Our Lady during the first message of July 6, 1973. Both healings occurred instantaneously during Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Sr. Agnes is today in sound health, except for the rheumatism that has affected her hands.
A canonical law regarding the judgment of a Marian apparition was issued in 1978. According to a Vatican official: ". . . the authority to hand down a conclusion regarding the authenticity of any Marian apparition is given canonically to the ordinary (the bishop) of the local diocese where the apparition took place . . ."
Bishop Ito's official recognitions of the occurrences and the Madonna's messages were reported in the October, 1988 issue of the magazine 30 Days. In the August 1990 issue, Cardinal Ratzinger is quoted as saying that "there are no objections to the conclusion of the pastoral letter." Cardinal Ratzinger has invited the Bishop to continue to inform him about the pilgrimages and conversions.

Obama's America 2016
Dinesh D'Sousa, President of King's College in New York City, attempts to explain who Barack Obama is. He digs down into the roots of Obama's heritage and taps upon the evolution of Obama's philosophy. D'Sousa also presents the psychological mind of America, its purpose of why Obama was elected in the first place.
The movie is based upon the book Dreams From My Father (authored by Barack Obama in 1995), interviews with various close associations of Barack, his mother Ann Dunham, and his father Barack Obama Sr. and other family relatives, as well as the results pulled from the research of Obama's actions and decisions made as President of the United States.

"Restless Heart"
This Fall, 2012, a new movie is coming out. It is about Saint Augustine, one of the greatest Doctors of the Church, son of Saint Monica, and who once lived the life of a pagan. It is said that Saint Monica prayed, with a sorrowful heart for her wayward son for 20 years.

"For The Greater Glory"
"For the Greater Glory", a true story about the Cristados, a rebellion in Mexico soon after Russia's revolution in Russia in 1917. President Callas of Mexico was removing the Religious Fredom from his people. Mexican Catholics were persecuted, priests were killed if they continued to say Mass. If you have not seen this movie, you must see it.
Peter O'Toole's performance sets the stage for the events that lead into the Cristado War.

Jose Luis Sanchez Del Rio, the young boy, having already been beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2005, is up for canonization. Mauricio Kuri could not play a sweeter young boy facing the ugly atrocities which led to the Cristado War.
People of all faiths need to be reminded what happens when a Government no longer allows its people to practice its faith with Freedom. Christians are reminded the Mandate Christ gave, to teach all Nations about Christ's Kingdom. This movie is a must see movie!!!
Viva Cristo Rey!
As Forthnight for Freedom begins today, in response to the HHS Mandate in the United States, Catholics are praying for the removal of this burden as it goes against the consciences and teachings of the Catholic Church, and just as seriously, it is an attack on the Freedom of Religion.

Priest and Doctor of the Church, Saint Anthony of Padua
Within one year of his death, Saint Anthony was canonized Saint. He died on June 13th, 1231.
Incorrupt tongue of Saint Anthony of Padua
Basilica of St Anthony, Padua, Italy
"O blessed tongue, which has always blessed God and caused others to bless Him, now it appears evident how great were your merits before God!" 1263, Words of Saint Bonaventure when St Anthony's tongue was discovered incorrupt.
Christ the Blessed was willing to give proof of the great sanctity of His most faithful servant St. Anthony, as well as to show how men ought to listen devoutly to his preaching by means of irrational animals. On one occasion, amongst others, he made use of fish to reprove the folly of faithless heretics, even as we read in the Old Testament that in ancient times he reproved the ignorance of Balaam by the mouth of an ass.
St. Anthony was once in Rimini [Italy] where there were a great number of heretics. Wishing to lead them to the light of the veritable Faith and the way of truth, he preached to them for several days and reasoned with them on the Catholic Faith and Holy Scriptures. They not only resisted his words, but became more hardened of heart and obstinate, refusing to listen to him any longer.
Seeing this, St. Anthony, by divine inspiration, went down to the shore where the river runs into the sea. From the bank between the river and the sea, he started to preach to the fish in the name of God, and said:
"Listen to the word of God, O ye fishes of the sea and of the river, seeing that the faithless heretics refuse to do so."
No sooner had he spoken these words than suddenly so great a multitude of fish, both great and small, approached the bank on which he stood, that never before had so many been seen either in that sea or that river. All kept their heads out of the water and attentively gazed at the face of St. Anthony. All were arranged in perfect order and most peacefully, the smaller ones in front near the bank, after them came those a little bigger, and last of all, where the water was deeper, the largest.
When they had placed themselves in this order, St. Anthony began to preach to them most solemnly, saying:
“My brother fishes, you are greatly obliged, as much as in your power, to return thanks to your Creator Who has given you so noble an element for your dwelling; for you have at your choice both sweet water and salt water. He gave you many places of refuge from the storms; He gave you yet more the pure and transparent water and the food for you to live. When God, your bountiful and kind Creator, made you, He gave you as a command to increase and multiply, and He gave you His blessing. In the universal Deluge, all the other creatures perished, and you alone were preserved from all harm. He gave you fins to enable you to go where you will.
“To you it was granted, by God’s command, to conserve the life of the Prophet Jonah, and then after three days, to throw him back, safe and sound, on dry land. It was you that gave the tribute-coin to Our Lord Jesus Christ when, because of his poverty, he had not wherewith to pay it. Finally, by a singular mystery, you served as nourishment of the eternal King Jesus Christ, before and after His Resurrection.
“Because of all these things, you are bound to glorify and bless the Lord who has given you blessings, so many and so much greater than the other creatures.”
Hearing these words and teachings of St. Anthony, the fish opened their mouths and bowed their heads, and with these and other signs of reverence they glorified God as much as was in their power. Then, St. Anthony, seeing the great reverence of the fish towards God their Creator, rejoiced greatly in spirit, and said in loud voice:
“Blessed be the eternal God, for the fishes of the sea glorify Him more than the men without faith, and the animals without reason listen to His word with greater attention than the sinful heretics.”
As St. Anthony continued to preach, the multitude of fish increased, and not one left the place it occupied.
The news of this miracle spread and the people of the city made haste to go and see it, including those hardened heretics we have spoken of above. The latter, seeing so marvelous and manifest a miracle, were touched in their hearts, and looked for St. Anthony to hear his words.
Then St. Anthony began to expound to them the Catholic Faith. So nobly did he preach that all those heretics were converted and returned to the true Catholic Faith. The faithful, also, were greatly comforted and strengthened in their faith.
After this, St. Anthony dismissed the fish with a blessing, and they all departed, giving marvelous signs of joy as they went. The people also, filled with joy, returned to the city. Then St. Anthony remained some days in Rimini, preaching and doing great spiritual good in the souls of his hearers.

COME HOLY SPIRIT: THE ARTS BREAKING BOUNDARIES AND PRAYER
THE ARTS
Rita Jahanforuz, a Persian born woman whose family moved to Israel when she was little, sings a message of Peace. She remakes Persian Oldies in Tel Aviv and apparently she is a big hit in Tehran, where underground parties are playing her music. The cultural arts, the heart of a people, unifies a people, tells their story and exposes their soul. John Paul II, freed his polish people reminding them to be not afraid to be who they were meant to be. He repeated this same theme to artists around the world. He recognized the great gift of an artist, that empowered a person to achieve freedom. Again and again he challenged the chains of inordinate power, with the words "Be Not Afraid", "Be Not Afraid".
Rita singing <-- click here
When looking up RITA, she apparently has done a few concerts in New York City, Beverly Hills, California at an Israeli Leadership Council, and Washington DC, where she sang "Let Freedom Ring" at Lincoln's Memorial.
On the extreme left, the Communist Party undergoes a transformation, holding onto its same ideas, but changes in its appearance. The Communist Party-USA admitted on video that The United States of America is a very religious country. They use a movie, who American actor Mattew Modine, produced called "Jesus Is A Commie". It is a short film presenting quotes and ideas that produce an image that Jesus was a Communist.
A very conniving approach to recruiting the Youth of America, however many times the Catholic Church has spoken out against Socialism and Communism. http://www.vatican.va/ . You would think the Catholic Church with its many services across the world helping over a billion people, the poor and the afflicted, would know the devastating effects of Communism upon humanity.
2425 The Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modem times with "communism" or "socialism." She has likewise refused to accept, in the practice of "capitalism," individualism and the absolute primacy of the law of the marketplace over human labor.207 Regulating the economy solely by centralized planning perverts the basis of social bonds; regulating it solely by the law of the marketplace fails social justice, for "there are many human needs which cannot be satisfied by the market."208 Reasonable regulation of the marketplace and economic initiatives, in keeping with a just hierarchy of values and a view to the common good, is to be commended. Taken from The Catechism of the Catholic Church
So, William Jasper of "The NewAmerican" had this to say about CPUSA's use of an Episcopalian priest, Rev. Tim Yeager:
"The Communist Party USA (CPUSA), naturally, finds Modine’s new film “inspiring,” and uses it in a live-stream online video of a recent presentation entitled, Was Jesus a Communist? The program featured Communist Party functionary Roberta Wood as host, along with Rev. Tim Yeager and Pat Flagg as the commentators.
Rev. Yeager, of Grace Episcopal Church in Oak Park, Illinois, is Chairperson of the Communist Party USA’s Religion Commission. Pat Flagg is a member of the Commission. Yeager is also Financial Secretary/Treasurer of the National Organization of Legal Services Workers, United Auto Workers (UAW) Local Union 2320. In addition to his national CPUSA and union activism, Yeager is also an activist in Chicago-area politics, such as the Occupy Wall Street movement.Jesus is a Commie, the movie, is shown in many cities across the USA."
Video from CPUSA featuring Rev. Yeager admitting Jesus was a communist and how the people of the United States are a religious people.
CPUSA of course also realizes that they must also change their language, to appeal to the youth, so as not to appear as the old Communist Party the United States opposed in the 1950's. This is stated in YCPUSA.
"We have to recognize and put into context the language that Lenin uses in the text. During Lenin’s time period, there was still armed struggle being waged in different countries and the Soviet Union was just coming out of a civil war. The language and phrases that Lenin uses such as “iron discipline” of the Party and the “ruthless” struggle against the capitalist class reflects the climate of intense and deadly struggle that was taking place. Today, we would not use this type of language when discussing the work of the Party and the types of struggles that we are involved in.
Making all of these connections is more of an art than a science and the world communist movement continues to debate, discuss and develop the ideas started within Lenin’s work." Taken from Young Communist League USA http://yclusa.org/article/articleview/1832/1/319/
The Arts as you can see can be used to express the beauty of God, His Love for mankind, and Love between humanity, or used as a tool to disillusion those seeking Truth.
PRAYER
The Arts must be guided by prayer, the communication to and with God, our Creator, otherwise one will be a wreckage on the surf of life.
May the prayers of those who are calling on God's protection and assistance for Religious Freedom, for Life of the Unborn babies, for the Sanctity of Marriage between one man and one woman, inspire those in the arts to "Be Not Afraid" to reign in the Culture of Peace and Life.

"IN THIS SIGN, YOU SHALL CONQUER"
I happen to come across this and thought I would share. It has to do with the Holy Name of Jesus, IHS. Since, President Obama proved, from the beginning of his presidency, he did not respect Catholic Conscience with the act of removing IHS from his speech @ Georgetown University, We as Catholics should use IHS to defeat Obama. "In this sign you shall conquer." Please read to understand: "In Hoc Signo vinces" – "In this sign, you shall conquer"
"After three nails were added under the insignia (together with a cross above), some noticed that the inscription now contained a “V” below the IHS – so that we see IHSV. (see image on the side) In this form it was adopted by St. Ignatius as the symbol of the Jesuits.
IHSV was interpreted to mean In Hoc Signo Vinces, “In this sign, you shall conquer”. It was taken as a reference to the victory which Constantine won against Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge on 28 October 312. Before the battle, the future Emperor saw a sign in the sky (probably the Greek chi-rho X-P, the symbol of “Christ”) and heard the words εν τουτω νικα, which is Greek for “In this [sign], you shall conquer”. The phrase was translated into Latin and it was noticed that the first letters of each word added up to IHSV – thus was born the legend that IHS stood for Constantine’s vision and the Christianization of Rome.
Most certainly, in the Holy Name of Jesus we shall conquer every enemy – and the last enemy to be destroyed is death itself."

BISHOPS ISSUE CALL TO ACTION TO DEFEND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Urge strong lay
involvement
Outline threats
to First Freedom at all levels of government and abroad
Call upon
dioceses to pursue religious liberty fortnight, June 21-July 4
WASHINGTON—The U.S. bishops have
issued a call to action to defend religious liberty and urged laity to work to
protect the First Freedom of the Bill of Rights. They outlined their position in
“Our First, Most Cherished Liberty.” The document was developed by the Ad Hoc
Committee on Religious Liberty of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB), approved for publication by the USCCB Administrative Committee March
13, and published in English and Spanish April 12.
The document can be
found at http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty/our-first-most-cherished-liberty.cfm.
“We have been staunch
defenders of religious liberty in the past. We have a solemn duty to discharge
that duty today,” the bishops said in the document, “… for religious liberty is
under attack, both at home and abroad.”
Almighty
God, Father of all nations,
For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1).
We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty,
the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good.
Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties;
By your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Divine Mercy Sunday
Divine Mercy Sunday
On April 18th, 1993, the Holy Father Pope John Paul II beatified Sr. Faustina Kowalska at St Peter's Square in Rome. It was the first Sunday after Easter- the very day that is to be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday, according to the Merciful Savior's revelations to Sister Faustina. Sister Faustina gained her official canonization on April 30th, 2000, again it was Mercy Sunday. In fact it was during this time the Holy Father also announced that the Second Sunday of Easter would now be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the universal Church.
Jesus wished for the world to know of and to be submersed into the ocean of His Mercy. The Lord chose Sr. Faustina as the Apostle and Secretary of His mercy, so she would share the urgent message of Divine Mercy with our troubled modern world. St Faustina's writings produced a magnificent book.
.jpg)
When St Faustina had a vision of an angel sent by God to chastise a certain city, she began to pray and received words interiorly as she began to see the Holy Trinity and felt the power of Jesus' grace within her.
As she continued saying this inspired prayer, the angel became helpless and could not carry out the deserved punishment (see 474, 475).
The next day, as she was entering the chapel, she again heard the interior voice, instructing her how to recite the prayer that our Lord later called "the Chaplet". In subsequent revelations, the Lord made it clear that the Chaplet was not just for her but for the whole world.
"Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you (1541q) ... Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death (687) ... When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the Merciful Savior (1541) ... Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet ony once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy (687) ...I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy (687) Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will (1731)."
The Chaplet may be said at any time, but Our Lord specifically told St Faustina to recite it during the nine days before the Feast of Mercy (the first Sunday after Easter). The Novena would begin on Good Friday, and continue until the Second Sunday of Easter. He then added:
"By this Novena, [of Chaplets] I will Grant every possible grace to souls (796).

Article, John Paul II was an Apostle of the Divine Mercy
On April 18th, 1993, the Holy Father Pope John Paul II beatified Sr. Faustina Kowalska at St Peter's Square in Rome. It was the first Sunday after Easter- the very day that is to be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday, according to the Merciful Savior's revelations to Sister Faustina. Sister Faustina gained her official canonization on April 30th, 2000, again it was Mercy Sunday. In fact it was during this time the Holy Father also announced that the Second Sunday of Easter would now be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday throughout the universal Church.
Jesus wished for the world to know of and to be submersed into the ocean of His Mercy. The Lord chose Sr. Faustina as the Apostle and Secretary of His mercy, so she would share the urgent message of Divine Mercy with our troubled modern world. St Faustina's writings produced a magnificent book.
Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul Maria Faustina Kowalska (Author)
Words of Jesus:
"I am Love and Mercy itself (1074)...Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet (699) ...My Mercy is greater than your sins and those of the entire world (1485)... I let my Sacred Heart be piereced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you. come then with trust to draw graces from this fountain. I never reject to draw a coontrite heart (1485)...Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than wold My mercy not embrace a trusting soul (1777)."
"I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itslef, but radiates them to other souls (1074)."
In 1931, Our Lord appeared to Saint Faustina in a vision. She saw Jesus clothed in a white garment with His right hand raised in blessing. His left hand was touching His garment in the area of the heart, from where two large rays come forth, one red and the other pale. She gazed intently at the Lord in silence, her soul filled with awe, but also with great joy. Jesus said to her:
"Paint an image according to the pattern you see with the signature: Jesus I trust in You... Ipromise 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 (47,48)...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" (327)... I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world (47).

Jesus I Trust in You
"The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water shich makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross ... Happy is the one who will dwell in their shlter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hld of him (299) ... 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 stroongest faith is of no avail without works (742)."
When St Faustina had a vision of an angel sent by God to chastise a certain city, she began to pray and received words interiorly as she began to see the Holy Trinity and felt the power of Jesus' grace within her.
"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 sinds and those of the whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world (476)."
As she continued saying this inspired prayer, the angel became helpless and could not carry out the deserved punishment (see 474, 475).
The next day, as she was entering the chapel, she again heard the interior voice, instructing her how to recite the prayer that our Lord later called "the Chaplet". In subsequent revelations, the Lord made it clear that the Chaplet was not just for her but for the whole world.
"Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you (1541q) ... Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death (687) ...

ANNUNCIATION
Feast of the Annunciation, this year, March 26th, 2012
Dear Friends,
Ordinarily today (March 25th) is the Solemnity of the Annunciation. It is celebrated this year on March 26th having been superseded by the Sunday liturgy. Because we are now in the season of Lent, Sunday, March 25th, previously called "Passion Sunday", marks the beginning of Passiontide, a deeper time of Lent. This is the third Sunday of the scrutinies for the preparation of adult converts, and the final Sunday of Lent before the beginning of Holy Week.
Now, getting back to the Solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord, I have found a most beautiful homily. Before we go on, it is worthy of note that the old church calendar called this feast day; the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The homily comes from a Benedictine Monastary of Our Lady of the Cenacle. Their Life and Charism comes from ‘Men Who Hold Their Gaze Directly Towards God’. Their spiritual father is St Benedict, one whose gaze was always on the Face of God.
"On April 1, 2005, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger gave a conference at Subiaco, the cradle of Benedictine life. Nineteen days later, as bishop of Rome, he assumed the name of Saint Benedict. Pope Benedict’s message at Subiaco identifies what the world needs above all else. “We need,” he said, “men who hold their gaze directly towards God.”
Thank you Dear Lord, for coming to us, for keeping us company, for speaking to us, for living with us, and for giving us Your Heart.

Prayers:
O Jesus, now I wish to pray the Lord's
Prayer seven times in unity with the love with which You sanctified this prayer
in Your Heart. Take it from my lips into Your Divine Heart. Improve and complete

every grumbling against Your Holy Arrangements and all other sins of the tongue,
as protection against such sins and for true love of the Cross.
Sixth Prayer: The
Crucifixion

streams of His Precious Blood that poured forth from these for us, His extreme
tortures of the Body and Soul, His precious Death and its non-bleeding Renewal
in all Holy Masses on earth as atonement for all wounds against vows and
regulations within the Orders, as reparation for my and all of the world's sins,
for the sick and the dying, for all holy priests and laymen, for the Holy
Father's intentions toward the restoration of Christian families, for the
strengthening of Faith, for our country and unity among all nations in Christ
and His Church, as well as for the Diaspora.

Eternal Father, accept as worthy, for
the needs of the Holy Church and as atonement for the sins of all Mankind, the
Precious Blood and Water which poured forth from the Wound of Jesus' Divine
Heart. Be gracious and merciful toward us. Blood of Christ, the last precious
content of His Holy Heart, wash me of all my and others' guilt of sin! Water
from the Side of Christ, wash me clean of all punishments for sin and extinguish
the flames of Purgatory for me and for all the Poor Souls. Amen.
