Prayer of Consecration of the USA to the Sacred Heart : O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: You know the longings of our hearts, and you desire that we enjoy friendship with you. From your pierced side, you have poured out the wellspring of life, for which we thirst. Your heart burns with a love for all people to return to a right relationship with you.
We celebrate the abundant gifts you have given this nation, founded on the self-evident truths that our Creator has endowed all people with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We make reparation for the offenses against you and against human dignity that have taken place in this nation. May our hearts be united to yours, so that our families and communities enjoy peace and happiness; may broken relationships be reconciled, injustices repaired, and the wounds of our land be healed.
May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign, pointing all people to your infinite love. O Desire of Nations and Center of History, we ask you to bless these United States of America.
Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! ++++++++++++

A Prayer of Trust by Blessed Fr. Michael Sopocko; St Faustina's Spiritual Director Holy Spirit, give me the grace of unwavering trust when I think of Our Lord’s merits, and of fearful trust when I think of my own weakness.
When poverty comes knocking at my door:
R: Jesus, I Trust in You,
When sickness lays me low, or injury cripples me.
R: Jesus, I Trust in You,
When the world pushes me aside, and pursues me with its hatred.
R: Jesus, I Trust in You,
When I am besmirched by calumny, and pierced through by bitterness.
R: Jesus, I Trust in You
When my friends abandon me, and wound me by word and deed. R: Jesus, I Trust in You.
Let us pray: Spirit of love and Mercy, be to me a refuge, a sweet consolation, a blessed hope, that in all the most trying circumstances of my life I may never cease to trust in You". Amen

"On December 10, 1925, the Most Holy Virgin appeared to her (Lucia), and by Her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was the Child Jesus. The Most Holy Virgin rested Her hand on her shoulder, and as She did so, she showed her a Heart encircled by thorns, which She was holding in Her other hand. At the same time, the Child said: 'Have compassion on the Heart of your Most Holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce It at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of Reparation to remove them.'

We honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, the name of Mary because it belongs to her who is the Mother of God, the holiest of creatures, the Queen of heaven and earth, the Mother of Mercy, our Lady of Fatima, our Lady of the Rosary.... The feast commemorates all the privileges given to Mary by God and all the graces we have received through her intercession and mediation. So we pray now before the Blessed Sacrament.
