THE GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER FOR THE HOLY SOULS
I adore Thee, O Holy Cross, which has been adorned with the tender, delicate and venerable hands and feet of my Saviour, Jesus Christ, and immured with the Precious Blood. I adore Thee, my God, nailed to the Cross for me. I adore Thee again, O Holy Cross, for the love of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
~ Revealed to St. Bridget that if said devoutly 33 times on Good Friday-- 33 souls will be released from Purgatory and 3 souls on ordinary Fridays.

INTERCESSORY ARMY OF GOD
This is a different kind of army. With our Faith as our shield, and our prayers being our weapons, we become a living prayer.
Reminder of what to do to be a part of this army:
1. Now, and then everyday when you wake up in the morning, say a cleansing prayer (for the cleansing prayer I use, please see below) and then consecrate yourself, your family, and your home to the"Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, The Immaculate Heart of Mary, and to God, the Eternal Father of Heaven and earth."2. Offer yourself each day as a warrior in the Army Of God and ask the Lord Jesus to lead you with His light as you move in the world. Then believe that He is guiding you, and that what you are doing is what He wants you to be doing. Ask for clarity and discernment to know what is not His will, as well.3. Offer your day as a prayer; all the good, the bad, the pain and suffering, the joy and happiness, the success, the failures and everything that comes from this day becomes a solid prayer.4. Then, even when you put your head down at night to sleep, your guardian angel will continue the work.

PRAISES TO THE DIVINE MERCY
THE LOVE OF GOD is the flower — Mercy the fruit. Let the doubting soul read these considerations on Divine Mercy and become trusting:
ALONE WITH GOD...Prayer for a Visit to the Blessed Sacrament
I humbly kneel in silence before You, O my God, present on this altar. I thank You for inviting me into Your house. Lord, it is good to be here.
During this visit, O my Saviour, I want to isolate myself with You, think of no one but You, love no one but You, with my mind and senses silent, contact with the world of business and war and community troubles severed - not solicitous for anything, high or low, near or far.

Alone with You, O my God, let me honor You with all my heart and mind, and with my body too.

SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THE KING: NOVEMBER 20, 2011
The Feast of Christ the King was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 as an antidote to secularism, a way of life which leaves God out of man's thinking and living and organizes his life as if God did not exist. The feast is intended to proclaim in a striking and effective manner Christ's royalty over individuals, families, society, governments, and nations.
SOLEMNITY OF ALL SOULS: NOVEMBER 2
All Souls Day is a solemn feast in the Catholic church commemorating all of those who have died and now are in Purgatory, being cleansed of their venial sins and the temporal punishments for the mortal sins that they had confessed and atoning before entering fully into Heaven.
There is a special plenary indulgence that can be gained for the souls in Purgatory on All Souls Day. A plenary indulgence removes all temporal punishment for sin--and so, in effect, releases a soul from Purgatory. To gain this indulgence, one must visit a church, recite one Our Father and the Creed, receive Communion, and pray one additional Our Father and one Hail Mary for the intentions of the Holy Father. The final requirement is to take part in the Sacrament of Confession, which can be done up to seven days before or afterwards. Since most Catholic parishes offer Confession on Saturday, one can go to Confession on a Saturday, and then fulfill the rest of the requirements on All Souls Day itself.

SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS: NOVEMBER 1
Every 1st day of November, the Catholic church honors all saints known and unknown or unsung saints, who may have been forgotten, or never been specifically honored. This is a special day where we ask for their prayers and intercessions. As members of the church, we believe that the saints of God are just as alive as you and I, and are constantly interceding on our behalf. We have a connection with the saints in heaven and this is known as the Communion of Saints.
"We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead who are being purified, and the blessed in heaven, all together forming one Church; and we believe that in this communion, the merciful love of God and his saints is always [attentive] to our prayers."
(CCC 962)

THE HOLY CROSS PRAYER
Oh Lord Almighty! You have suffered death at the cross for our sins. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! be my true light. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! fill my soul with good thoughts. Oh Holy Cross! help me in my salvation. Oh Holy Cross! safeguard me against unholy thoughts and worldly dangers that I may worship the Holy Cross of Jesus of Nazareth crucified. Have pity on me. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! be my hope. Oh Holy Cross have mercy on me forever and ever. Amen.
In honor of the Precious Blood of Jesus and His fearful Death and Resurrection and His Glorification which leads to everlasting life. As true as Jesus is born on Christmas and crucified on Good Friday. As true as St. Joseph and Nicodemus took Jesus down from the cross. As true as Jesus ascended into heaven. May He preserve me from my enemies both visible and invisible forever and ever. Amen.
Lord Almighty, into Your hands I give my soul and my body. Oh Lord Jesus! grant me strength to bear the cross as Yourself. Teach me to bear it with great humility that the Blessed Virgin may fill me with the Holy Spirit. Preserve my soul and lead it to life everlasting. Amen.

FOR DELIVERANCE
Holy Trinity,
One God, living and true,
Almighty and Omnipresent,

RADIATING CHRIST
Dear Jesus,
Help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go.
Flood my soul with Your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with, may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer-but only You O Lord!

INVOCATION TO ST. MICHAEL...AN EXORCISM
A BRIEF HISTORY
A Miracle Obtained Through the Intercession of ST. MICHAEL
My love story with St. Michael goes back to 1974, when I was in Messina, Sicily where I lived for two and a half years. Eversince returning from India in 1971, I had the greatest longing to visit Padre Pio's tomb. I met him in 1966 when I was in Rome recovering from an illness. I was fortunate to visit Padre Pio, confess to him and have his blessing. The greatest blessing was his acceptance of me as his spiritual child. It was only natural for me to desire to visit his tomb. It became possible in September 1974.
PRAYER FOR THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI VICTIMS IN JAPAN by Georgy
Most Merciful and Compassionate God,
Giver of life and love,
hear our prayers
and let our cries come unto you.
Giver of life and love,
hear our prayers
and let our cries come unto you.
We weep with Your people in Japan.
We hear the cries of orphaned children and laments of bereaved parents.
We feel the desperation of those searching for loved ones.
We behold the silence of vanished villages.

CONSECRATION OF THE HUMAN RACE TO THE DIVINE MERCY by Joseph Abraham
Oh, My Jesus, redeeming Divine Mercy of the human race, look down upon us who prostrate humbly before Your presence. We are Yours, and Yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with You.
Behold each one of us who freely consecrates himself/herself today to Your Most Sacred Heart, from which blood and water gushed forth as a fountain of everlasting mercy for us. Many indeed have never known You; many too, despising your precepts, rejected You. Have mercy on them all, Most Merciful Jesus, and draw them all to Your Divine Mercy.

54 DAY ROSARY NOVENA
Origin and Method
This devotion, which the author has called the 'Rosary Novenas to Our Lady,' is of comparatively recent origin. In an apparition of Our Lady of Pompeii, which occurred in 1884 at Naples, in the house of Commander Agrelli, the heavenly Mother deigned to make known the manner in which she desires to be invoked.
For thirteen months Fortuna Agrelli, the daughter of the Commander, had endured dreadful sufferings and torturous cramps; she had been given up by the most celebrated physicians. On February 16, 1884, the afflicted girl and her relatives commenced a novena of Rosaries. The Queen of the Holy Rosary favored her with an apparition on March 3rd. Mary, sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by luminous figures, held the divine Child on her lap, and in her hand a Rosary. The Virgin Mother and the holy Infant were clad in goldembroidered garments. They were accompanied by St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena. The throne was profusely decorated with flowers; the beauty of Our Lady was marvelous.

OUR LADY OF GRACE
St. Pio’s favorite painting
This image of Our Lady of Grace is painted on the front wall and ceiling behind the altar in the church at San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, where St. Pio lived. In this image, the Baby Jesus is trying to give us, also children of His Mother in the order of grace, His Mother’s milk, which represents grace. In Naju also, Julia saw a vision in which the Blessed Mother was giving abundant quantities of her milk to her spiritual children to nurture their souls and heal their bodies. The water from the Miraculous Spring in Naju is believed to represent the Blessed Mother’s milk. This reference to the Blessed Mother’s milk as the grace for us is in conformity with the traditional teachings by the Church Doctors and other Saints that the Blessed Mother is the Mediatrix of All Graces. As Christ, the author of all graces, became incarnate through the Blessed Mother, she is the channel of all the graces that we receive from God.
FATIMA PRAYERS
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love Thee. Amen.
Angel's Prayer: With the Blessed Sacrament suspended in the air, the Angel of Peace prostrated himself, and recited the prayer during his third apparition to the children in 1916.
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners. Amen.
