Most Holy Virgin, you appeared at Fatima and revealed, to the three little shepherds, the treasures of graces hidden in the reciting of the Rosary.
Inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption, we may gather its fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, and the conversion of non-believers throughout the world.
 O Holy Mary, I also ask for the favor that I now so earnestly seek…
 (Share your request…)
 O Mary, may that which I ask in this novena, be for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. Amen.

3.  *** Extra: Starting Wednesday May 7 the Conclave to elect a new Pope begins. Let us pray this Jubilee prayer by Pope Francis every day until we have a new pope, for the repose of Pope Francis and the Holy Catholic Church.
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us, the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.  May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen

I believe that You entered into Your glorious Kingdom to prepare a place for me, for You promised to come again to take me to Yourself. Grant that I may seek only the joys of Your friendship and love, so that I may deserve to be united with You in heaven. Amen.


6. And let us continue with May 22 a prayer for the intercession of St Rita. Saint of the Impossible causes.
Holy Patroness of those in need, Saint Rita, so humble, pure and patient, whose pleadings with thy Divine Spouse are irresistible, obtain for me from your Crucified Christ my request (mention it here). Be gracious toward me, for the greater glory of God, and I promise to honor thee and to sing thy praises forever.

July Novenas , Prayers, Litanies

Welcome Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society to the month of July.

 Welcome again Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society to the month of July as we celebrate the Most Precious Blood of Jesus.
We have a lot to be thankful for and to pray for. 

 

Let  us Pray this prayer of Reparation to the Precious Blood: 


Eternal  Father, I offer to You all the wounds of Your dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ;  the pains and agony of His Sacred Heart and His Most Precious Blood, which  gushed out from all his wounds, for the reparation of my sins and those of the  whole world. Amen.  


1. Let us begin Med July 3 let us pray a prayer to ST Thomas the Apostle on his Feast Day:

Prayer to St. Thomas the Apostle, for Spending Ourselves in His Service 
           O Glorious St. Thomas, your grief for Jesus was such that it would not let you believe he had risen unless you actually saw him and touched his wounds. But your love for Jesus was equally great and it led you to give up your life for him. Pray for us that we may grieve for our sins which were the cause of Christ's sufferings. Help us to spend ourselves in his service and so earn the title of "blessed" which Jesus applied to those who would believe in him without seeing him. Amen.       


2. July 4 Next Let us Pray a Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the USA and your country if you are outside of the USA. For the World is in much need of God's Mercy.

      God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to Your loving care. You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people.


3. July 6 Saturday let us pray a prayer to St Maria Goretti:

PRAYERS TO ST. MARIA GORETTI: St. Maria Goretti, strengthened by God's grace, you did not hesitate, even at the age of eleven, to sacrifice life itself to defend your virginal purity. Look graciously on the unhappy human race that has strayed far from the path of eternal salvation. Teach us all, and especially our youth, the courage and the promptness that will help us avoid anything that could offend Jesus. Obtain for me a great horror of sin, so that I may live a holy life on earth and win eternal glory in heaven. Amen. 
Heroic and angelic Saint Maria Goretti, we kneel before you to honor your persevering fortitude and to beg your gracious aid. Teach us a deep love for the precepts of our Holy Church; help us to see in them the very voice of our Father in heaven. May we preserve without stain our white baptismal robe of innocence. May we who have lost this innocence kneel humbly in Holy Penance; and with the absolution of the priest may the torrent of Christ's precious Blood flow into our souls and give us new courage to carry the burning light of God's love through the dangerous highways of this life until Christ our King shall call us to the courts of heaven. Amen.

4. Now Starting Sunday July 7 - 15 with the Feast Day of our Lady of Mt Carmel on July 16, let us pray:

Prayer to our lady of Mount Carmel:  O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. (Mention your intention.) O Star of the Sea, help me and show me in this that thou art my Mother. O holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, I humbly beseech thee, from the bottom of my heart, to help me in this necessity; there are none that can withstand thy power. O show me in this that thou art my Mother! O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (Repeat this three times) Sweet Mother, I place this cause in thy hands. (Repeat this three times) Our Father . . . Hail Mary . . . Glory be . . . (Repeat this three times)

5.  Remember Fatma Thursday July 12. Prayers will be sent before then. send email to receive. or go to menu under "Remember Fatima" https://divinemercyshrine.site/rememberfatima

6. Let us begin Wednesday July 17 through July 25 with the Feast Day of St Joachim and ST Anne July 26 Parents of The Blessed Virgin Mary
During this time we will pray a Novena prayer to the Most Blessed Blood of Jesus:  

        O Jesus, by Thy Precious Blood which you shed for our souls, by each drop that you shed for our redemption and by the tears of Thy Immaculate Mother, I beseech Thee and earnestly ask You to listen to my prayer:

(Share your request…)

O Jesus, who during all the days of Thy mortal life, You consoled so many sufferers, You healed so many infirmities, You raised so often a sinking courage; have pity on my soul who cries to Thee from the depths of my anguish.

O Jesus, from the wounds of Thy heart, may a wave of Thy merciful blood flow and grant to me the grace that I so ardently desire.

O Jesus, hasten the moment when You will change my tears to joy and my sighs to thanksgivings.

Holy Mary, I ask you to join with me in seeking help. But, God our Father in heaven, “May your will be done”. Amen.

Say: Our Father… (x3)   … Jesus, Crucified, Have Mercy on Me … Most Holy St’s Anne and Joachim, come close to us and guide our hand and our hearts in the way of virtue. Help us to parent our children and grandchildren with a gentle heart as you did. Show us how to raise our children in faith and bring our families into the Light of Jesus. Remain close to us and help us on our journey to salvation.


7.  July 22 Monday. Prayer to ST Mary Magdalene: 

    Saint Mary Magdalene, woman of many sins, who by conversion became the beloved of Jesus, thank you for your witness that Jesus forgives through the miracle of love. You, who already possess eternal happiness in His glorious presence, please intercede for me, so that someday I may share in the same everlasting joy. Amen.


8.   July 25 Thursday July 25 with the Feast of St James 

        O Glorious Apostle, Saint James, who by reason of your fervent and generous heart was chosen by Jesus to be a witness of His glory on Mount Tabor, and of His agony in Gethsemane; you, whose very name is a symbol of warfare and victory: obtain for us strength and consolation in the unending warfare of this life, that, having constantly and generously followed Jesus, we may be victors in the strife and deserve to receive the victor’s crown in heaven. Amen.…                       

St James the Apostle, Pray for Us.

9.  July 29 Monday Prayer to Sts Martha, Mary and Lazarus
       May the holy reception of the Body and Blood of your Only Begotten Son, O Lord, turn us away from the cares of this fallen world, so that, following the example of Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus, we may grow in sincere love for you on earth and rejoice to behold you for eternity in heaven. Through Christ our Lord.

OCT Novenas , Prayers, Litanies

Welcome Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society to the month of October.

Hello  Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society to the month of Oct 2023.   We always  have a lot to be thankful for and a lot of praying this month. Including praying  for all the prayers and souls in our Divine Mercy Prayer Journal and you and  your own special intentions. Thank you for praying with us. If you want to pray with us and want to  receive the Novena prayers, send me your name and  email I hope  everyone is safe and well. Let us also, remember to pray for peace in the world,  Ukraine and the conversion of Russia.  

The  Theme for this month is "Our Lady of the Rosary"   


1. Sunday  Oct 1  St Therese  of the Child Jesus- "The Little Flower" Feast Day  Let  us pray a Chaplet of The Divine Mercy and The Holy Rosary with the meditations  below in between each decade of both. We will be doing this 3-4pm Oct 1  Sunday at St Faustina Shrine. Pray with us or say when you receive this info.     

St  Therese of Lisieux Oct 1 Feast Day Reflection   Chaplet of The Divine Mercy before each decade:  

1. “If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.”  “If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.” 

2. “It is there for each and every one of us.” - “May you be content knowing you are a child of God. “A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul.”  

3. “Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. “And it is the Lord, it is Jesus, Who is my judge.  Therefore, I will try always to think leniently of others, that He may judge me leniently, or rather not at all, since He says: "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.” 

4. “Let us not be justices of the peace, but angels of peace.” - “May today there be peace within. “Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you - for you alone?  He burns with the desire to come into your heart… don’t listen to the demon, laugh at him, & go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace & love…” 

5.“May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. “Each prayer is more beautiful than the others. I cannot recite them all and not knowing which to choose, I do like children who do not know how to read, I say very simply to God what I wish to say, without composing beautiful sentences, and He always understands me. For me, prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus.”  


St  Therese of Lisieux Oct 1 Feast Day Reflection  Holy Rosary to The Mother of Mercy: before each decade:  

1. “May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. “May you use those gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you. “For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” - “Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.” “Holiness consists simply in doing God's will, and being just what God wants us to be.” 2.  “Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.” “I am convinced that one should tell one's spiritual director if one has a great desire for Communion, for Our Lord does not come from Heaven every day to stay in a golden ciborium; He comes to find another heaven, the heaven of our soul in which He loves to dwell.” 

3. “One word or a pleasing smile is often enough to raise up a saddened and wounded soul.” “Sufferings gladly borne for others convert more people than sermons.”  “My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms; they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience.” - “The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.” 

4.  “The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” “I can nourish myself on nothing but truth” - “I choose them all! I want them all!” - “I say nothing to him I love him” “I know now that true charity consists in bearing all our neighbors' defects--not being surprised at their weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.” - “When one loves, one does not calculate.” 

5. “I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would no longer be enameled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our   Lord's living garden.” “The world's thy ship and not thy home.” - “Trust and trust alone should lead us to love” “When I die, I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens, I will spend my heaven by doing good on earth.” - St Therese The Little Flower   St Theresa pray for us.


2. Next  is Monday Oct 2 is the Feast of our Guardian Angels Let us  pray: Angel of God: Angel  of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to  rule and guide. Amen.   


3.   Next  Wednesday Oct 4 is the Feast of St Francis of Assisi Peace Prayer of St Francis: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where  there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where  there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness,  joy.  O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,  to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For  it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it  is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.    4.  Thursday Oct 5 Feast Day of St Faustina: Pray the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy  while meditating on ur Lord's Passion and make some sacrifice for the Salvation  of souls and to help repair the Body of Christ.  Pray for the success of our St  Faustina Feast Day Mass Oct 5 @St Ann Bartlett 6:30pm. Send your prayer  requests. 5.  Oct 7  Saturday: Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Pray a Rosary while meditating  on the Sorrowful Mysteries. 6.  Starting Oct 13 - 21 Novena prayer to the Feast Day of St John Paul II Oct 22.   The  following is the same prayer being said during the Novena at the National Shrine  of The Divine Mercy.  St.  John Paul II, Pray for us. O  Merciful Savior, you blessed the Church and the world with the holy life and  papal ministry of St. John Paul II.  May  we, through his intercession, receive every grace and blessing that you, in your  Divine Mercy, wish to give us. Amen 


7. Oct  13 Friday 3-4pm  "Remember Fatima Holy Hour for  Reparation"   I will send the prayers soon. Send prayer requests sfshrine@msn.com  


8.  Next Sunday Oct 15 Feast of St Teresa of Avila.  After  St Teresa of Avila died, the thoughts that have come to be known as “St Teresa’s  Bookmark” were found written in her handwriting in the margins of her breviary.   The  prayer is perhaps familiar to us: Let  nothing disturb you.
Let nothing frighten you.
All things pass  away.
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
They who have  God
lack nothing.
God alone is enough. St Teresa of  Avila 


9. Next  Oct 18 Wednesday Feast of St Luke the Evangelist   Prayers  for Sickness and Healing Merciful  Lord, through the intercession of St Luke, visit us in our time of need and  affliction; and as you healed Jairus' daughter  and  raised her from her bed of infirmity, visit your servant, Master, and deliver  him/her from sickness and pain.  For you  alone have born the sickness and affliction of our world and with you nothing is  impossible.  For you  are all-merciful and to you we ascribe glory and adoration forever.  Amen 


10. Friday Oct 20 Feast of St Paul of the  Cross   O'  glorious Saint Paul of the Cross, you were chosen by God to profess to all of  humanity the bitter sufferings of His only-begotten Son, and to spread devotion  to the Passion of Jesus throughout the world.

By your preaching and holy example Jesus converted thousands of sinners through you by bringing them to the foot of the Cross to repent of their sins, thereby obtaining for them His infinite forgiveness and mercy! May Jesus be blessed for His extraordinary grace that was so often made present in your life, and for the many miracles He worked through you for the conversion of souls!

O' blessed St Paul of the Cross, turning towards you now I ask that from your place with Jesus and Mary in heaven that you may look mercifully upon my poor soul and hear my prayers, and with all of your love humbly present them to Jesus for me (mention petitions).

Obtain for me also a great love of Jesus suffering, that by frequent meditation on His Passion I may take up my own cross and accept with holy resignation the sufferings that God has permitted in my life. Help me to suffer and to sacrifice in union with Jesus for the conversion of my poor soul, the souls of my loved ones, and for all of humanity. Help me to love Jesus and Mary with all of my heart, and intercede for me that I may, by the grace of God, die a holy death, and come at last to enjoy with you the blessed Presence of Jesus and Mary in Heaven for all of eternity.

One Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be....

Thank you for praying. Let us pray for all the requests sent to us and in our Divine Mercy Prayer Journals. Peace in Ukraine. An end to Russian aggression.  Conversion of Russia. For an end to covid-19 and for all the sick, dying, and poor sinners. For an end to abortions and for all your special intentions. This  will add to our huge spiritual storehouse for souls so as to help satisfy Jesus' thirst for the salvation of souls  


And  let us pray for love of God and Neighbor. And let us give thanks!! God is good  all the time, and all the time God is good. We praise and glorify His goodness and mercy.  

Jesus, I trust in You.  

You are always in my prayers.

May Novenas, Prayers, Litanies

Welcome Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society for the month of May

 Hello Novena pray-ers of the St Faustina Shrine/Society to the month of May as we celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Hello St Faustina Shrine/Society Novena Pray-ers,    I hope everyone had a great and Holy Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday!
Thank you for praying with us to add to our spiritual storehouse for souls and to do as did St Faustina, aid souls through prayer and sacrifice.. Know that you and all your intentions are included in all our prayers.

Let us begin:
1. May 1 Monday: We'll now pray a prayer to ST Joseph the Worker Feast Day  May 1. And pray a chaplet and rosary with the following meditations which we'll be doing in our special Holy Hour on May 1 3-4pm at our Shrine. Send Prayer requests.   


Prayer to St Joseph for workers and those seeking employment……
Silent and well-known carpenter in Nazareth, model of workers, by the work of your hands you gave your contribution to the work of the Creator, you earned your living, and you provided for the needs of the Holy Family.  Intercede for all workers, in the difficulties of their daily lives especially for the unemployed, in their anxieties for tomorrow, so that through the guidance of God, the great Architect and Builder, they all may use their strength and talents to make visible God’s new creation, to offer a concrete service to society, and to earn wages worthy of their efforts. With confidence and trust we make this prayer thru Jesus.  Amen 


Meditate on silence with St. Joseph and Pope Francis

Before each decade of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy 

1. He must speak and I must be silent, and through his silence, Joseph invites us to leave room for the Presence of the Word made flesh, for Jesus.

2. Undervalued silence Very often nowadays we need silence. Silence is important. I am struck by a verse from the Book of Wisdom that was read with Christmas in mind, which says: “While gentle silence enveloped all things, your all-powerful word leaped from heaven.”

3. The Word grows and words diminish

The Gospels do not contain a single word uttered by Joseph of Nazareth: nothing, he never spoke. This does not mean that he was taciturn, no: there is a deeper reason why the Gospels do not say a word. With his silence, Joseph confirms what Saint Augustine writes: “To the extent that the Word – that is, the Word made man – grows in us, words diminish.”To the extent that Jesus, the spiritual life, grows, words diminish. […] John the Baptist himself, who is “the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord’ ” (Mt 3:3) says in relation to the Word, “He must increase, but I must decrease” ( Jn 3:30). This means that he must speak and I must be silent, and through his silence, Joseph invites us to leave room for the Presence of the Word made flesh, for Jesus.

4. A silence of listening

Joseph’s silence is not mutism, he is not taciturn; it is a silence full of listening, an industrious silence, a silence that brings out his great interiority. “The Father spoke a word, and it was his Son,” comments St John of the Cross, the Father said a word and it was his Son – “and it always speaks in eternal silence, and in silence it must be heard by the soul.”

5. A child who learned silence

Jesus was raised in this “school,” in the house of Nazareth, with the daily example of Mary and Joseph. And it is not surprising that he himself sought spaces of silence in his days (cf. Mt 14:23) and invited his disciples to have such an experience by example: “Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while” (Mk 6:31).


Before each decade of the Holy Rosary to the Mother of Mercy


1. Are you afraid of silence?How good it would be if each one of us, following the example of Saint Joseph, were able to recover this contemplative dimension of life, opened wide in silence. But we all know from experience that it is not easy: silence frightens us a little, because it asks us to delve into ourselves and to confront the part of us that is true.

2. And many people are afraid of silence, they have to speak, and speak, and speak, or listen to radio or television…  but they cannot accept silence because they are afraid. The philosopher Pascal observed that “all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.”

3.Because words can killDear brothers and sisters, let us learn from Saint Joseph how to cultivate spaces for silence in which another Word can emerge, that is, Jesus, the Word: that of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, that Jesus brings.It is not easy to recognize that Voice, which is very often confused along with the thousand voices of worries, temptations, desires, and hopes that dwell within us; but without this training that comes precisely from the practice of silence, our tongue can also ail. Without practicing silence, our tongue can also ail (ail means to trouble or afflict (someone) in mind or body). Instead of making the truth shine, it can become a dangerous weapon. Indeed, our words can become flattery, bragging, lies, backbiting and slander. It is an established fact that, as the Book of Sirach reminds us, “many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not so many as have fallen because of the tongue”  (28:18), the tongue kills more than the sword. Jesus said clearly: whoever speaks ill of his brother or sister, whoever slanders his neighbour, is a murderer (cf. Mt 5:21-22). Killing with the tongue.We do not believe this, but it is the truth. Let us think a little about the times we have killed with the tongue: we would be ashamed! But it will do us good, a great deal of good.

4. Let us not be afraid!… We must learn from Joseph to cultivate silence: that space of interiority in our days in which we give the Spirit the opportunity to regenerate us, to console us, to correct us. I am not saying to fall into muteness, no. Silence. But very often, each one of us look inside, when we are working on something and when we finish, immediately we look for our telephone to make another call… we are always like this.And this does not help, this makes us slip into superficiality. Profoundness of the heart grows with silence, silence that is not mutism as I said, but which leaves space for wisdom, reflection and the Holy Spirit.We are afraid of moments of silence. Let us not be afraid! It will do us good. And the benefit to our hearts will also heal our tongue, our words, and above all our choices.

5. He did not speak, but he acted In fact, Joseph combined silence with action. He did not speak, but he acted, and thus demonstrated what Jesus once told his disciples: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’  shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Mt 7:21). Silence. Fruitful words when we speak … Silence, speaking in the right way, and biting your tongue a little, which can be good at times instead of saying foolish things.

Jesus, The Divine Mercy have Mercy on us. Mother of Mercy pray for us, St Joseph pray for us. St Faustina pray for us. Jesus I trust in You
