Golden Arrow

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

Our Lord showed Sister Mary, how much blasphemy wounded His Sacred Heart, “more grievously than all other sins,’’ as she put it, by having her visualize it as “a poisoned arrow continually wounding His divine Heart.”

Jesus revealed to me that He wanted to give me a ‘Golden Arrow’ which would have the power of wounding Him delightfully, and which would also heal those other wounds inflicted by the malice of sinners,” with torrents of graces emanating from it!

Admirable is the name of God!

Behold oh God our protector, look upon the face of Thy Christ!

Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, let them that hate Him flee from before His face!

Eucharist prayers / hymns:


O saving Victim, opening wide
the gate of heaven to man below:

Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.

To Thy great Name be endless praise, Immortal Godhead, One in Three.
O grant us endless length of days
in our true native land with Thee!
Amen.

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe’r ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Spirit forth proceeding
from each eternally,

Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty.
Amen!

My God I believe, adore, hope, and love thee, I ask pardon for those who do not!

My God I love Thee, my God my God I love and adore Thee in the most holy sacrament of the altar!

Sacred Heart of Jesus prayers:

Oh my good Jesus, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls heaven especially those most in need of Thy mercy. Amen!

Precious blood of Jesus, save us!

Oh Blood and water that gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a font of mercy for us, I trust in Thee!

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Jesus meek and humble is f heart, make our hearts like unto Thine!

My Jesus, mercy, cover us with Thy precious blood!

We adore Thee oh Christ, and we bless Thy Holy Name, because by Thy Holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world!

Jesus takes all our sins upon Himself, and sheds His precious blood, we consecrate ourselves to His precious blood, the holy passion, His holy face, His holy wounds, by His stripes we are healed!

Oh Sacred Head surround by crown of piercing thorn, oh bleeding Head so wounded, reviled and put to scorn, death’s pallid hue comes or’e Thee, the glow of life decays, yet Angels hosts adore Thee and tremble as they gaze!


May the heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen.

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

 

[donadams]

Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Thy altar. We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be; but, to be more surely united with Thee, behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today to Thy Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed have never known Thee; many too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart.

Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee; grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house lest they die of wretchedness and hunger.

Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof; call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.

Be Thou King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry or of Islamism; refuse not to draw them all into the light and kingdom of God. Turn Thine eyes of mercy toward the children of that race, once Thy chosen people: of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Savior; may it now descend upon them a laver of redemption and of life.

Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be glory and Honor forever. Amen

The Seven Sorrows of Mary:


1. The Prophecy of Simeon
(Luke 2:34-35)


2. The Flight into Egypt
(Matthew 2:13-21)


3. The Loss of Jesus for Three Days (Luke 2:41-50)


4. The Carrying of the Cross
(John 19:17)


5. The Crucifixion of Jesus
(John 19:18-30)


6. Jesus Taken Down from the Cross (John 19:39-40)


7. Jesus Laid in the Tomb
(John 19:39-42)

Our Blessed Mother revealed these seven promises to St. Bridget of Sweden in the 14th century. Our Lady said she would bestow seven graces to the those souls honoring her daily by saying seven Hail Marys while meditating on her tears and sorrows:

1. “I will grant peace to their families.”

2. “They will be enlightened about the divine Mysteries.”

3. “I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.”

4. “I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.”

5. “I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.”

6. “I will visibly help them at the moment of their death—they will see the face of their mother.”

7. “I have obtained this grace from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son will be their eternal consolation and joy.”

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary / Saint Alphonse Lugori doctor of the church!

First, that those who before death invoke the Divine Mother in the name of her sorrows should obtain true repentance of all their sins.

Second, that He would protect all who have this devotion in their tribulations, and that He would protect them especially at the hour of death.

Third, that He would impress upon their minds the remembrance of His Passion, and that they should have their reward for it in heaven.

Fourth, that He would commit such devout clients to the hands of Mary, with the power to dispose of them in whatever manner she might please, and to obtain for them all the graces she might desire.”

Christian meditation:

Essential to the spiritual combat!

Parabellum: prepare for the spiritual warfare!

Onward Christian soldiers!

Christian meditation or mental prayer.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

The height of Christian meditation is the passion and death of Christ.

The agony in the garden:

The scourging at the pillar:
By His stripes we are healed.

The crowning with thorns.

The carrying of the cross.

Jesus dies on the cross.
