#19 - PRAYERS

"As our body cannot live without nourishment, so our soul cannot spiritually be kept alive without prayer." - St. Augustine

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APOSTLES' CREED
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. - Veronica, June 5, 1975

OUR FATHER
"This is the way you must pray to the Eternal Father:

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil. Amen....

"Now I asked you to say that prayer because it soon will be forgotten upon earth. The modernists seek to remove it now from the books in the schools." - Jesus, October 6, 1988

HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. - Veronica, June 16, 1973

GLORY BE
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. - Veronica, July 15, 1975

FATIMA
"Therefore, when you despair, say:

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls
to Heaven, especially those in most need of Your mercy."

- Our Lady, June 18, 1992

LONG EXORCISM
"Lucifer is upon earth; you understand that his powers are great. That is why you must always test the spirits and say the St. Michael Exorcism when it is possible. When it is not possible, you will say:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against
the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power of God, cast into hell, satan, and all evil spirits who wander throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls."

- Jesus, June 18, 1984

RETAINED
Jesus said, "All my prayers must be retained." - Veronica, June 9, 1979

RECOURSE
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. - Veronica, June 5, 1975

FOR REASON
"The Acts of Faith, Hope, and Charity were given for reason and must not be discarded. My child, I ask that you repeat these prayers:

FAITH

O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. I believe that Thy divine Son became Man and died for our sins and that He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

HOPE

O my God, relying on Thy infinite goodness and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins with the help of Thy grace and life everlasting through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Redeemer.

CHARITY

O my God, I love Thee above all things with my whole heart and soul because Thou art all good and deserving of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me and ask pardon for all whom I have injured." -Our Lady, December 7, 1978

EXTEND
"Repeat to all this prayer:

Jesus, extend to us in the light, in Your infinite knowledge, the power, through the light, to understand the task that lies ahead for all of us who wish to be saved."

- Our Lady, February 11, 1971

PLEASE GOD
"Of the hours you awaken to, you will say, 'this day I give to please my God.' In this manner you will be directed in the light." - St. Theresa, December 31, 1972

SIMPLE
"You must teach them, parents, to say this simple prayer to Heaven:

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take."

- Jesus, June 17, 1989

SHIELD
"You must now say when you arise: 'I will protect myself with the shield of the Immaculate Conception.' You will say before you enter your bed (which will not be a bed of security and comfort now): 'I protect myself with the shield of the Immaculate Conception.' For, My children, when you sleep he does not sleep." - Our Lady, July 1, 1971

ACT OF CONTRITION
"And one more prayer must not be forgotten. But our modernists are casting it aside. Repeat this, My child: an Act of Contrition.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I confess to all
my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; but most of
all because I love Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance,
and to amend my life. Amen.

"You see, My child, that also will be cast from the books this coming year." - Jesus, October 6, 1988

DAILY
"You must all now keep a constant vigilance of prayer. And when I say constant, My children, it means daily." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978

MY GOD
My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee. I beg pardon for all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love Thee. - Veronica, October 6, 1976

SUCCOR
"When you become ill, be it physical, mental, or sorrowfully in your heart, you will say, 'My Jesus, my confidence!' And I will truly succor you." - Our Lady, September 7, 1985

GUARDIAN ANGEL
"You will teach the little children the prayer to their guardian:

O Angel of God, my guardian dear, for whom God's love commits you
here; ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

- Our Lady, July 25, 1977

CONSECRATED
"All you have to do is say, 'Jesus, I love You. Save souls, save the consecrated.' That is very important." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1989

Pope John Paul II on the St. Michael Exorcism

On April 24th 1994, Pope John Paul II recommended the Catholic faithful to continue praying the St. Michael Exorcism prayer:

"May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle we are told about in the Letter to the Ephesians: ‘Draw strength from the Lord and from His mighty power’ (Ephesians 6:10). The Book of Revelation refers to this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St. Michael the Archangel (Revelation 12:7). Pope Leo XIII certainly had a very vivid recollection of this scene when, at the end of the last century, he introduced a special prayer to St. Michael throughout the Church. Although this prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world."
