Deuteronomy, Chapter
31, Verse 12-13
12 Assemble
the people—men, women and children, as well as the resident aliens who live in
your communities—that they may hear and so learn to fear the LORD, your God, and to observe carefully all the
words of this law. 13 Their children also, who do not know it yet,
shall hear and learn to fear the LORD,
your God, as long as you live on the land which you are about to cross the
Jordan to possess.
With the coming of the secular
age we have forgotten Who made us great and have not taught our children and
immigrants fear of the Lord and as a
result our world languishes.
Fear
not, my people! Remember, Israel, You were sold to the nations not for your
destruction; It was because you angered God that you were handed over to your
foes. For you provoked your Maker with sacrifices to demons, to no-gods; You forsook
the Eternal God who nourished you and you grieved Jerusalem who fostered you. She
indeed saw coming upon you the anger of God; and she said: “Hear, you neighbors
of Zion! (Baruch 4: 5-9)
Fear
not, my children; call out to God! He who brought this upon you will remember
you. As your hearts have been disposed to stray from God, turn now ten times
the more to seek him; For he who has brought disaster upon you will, in saving
you, bring you back enduring joy.” (Baruch 4: 27-29)
What Can We Do? We must
promote faith by having devotion to the Divine Mercy and prayer in our
families. Christ started His ministry via Mary’s request at the wedding at Cana
with a new family: a couple; a new Eve and a new Adam. Christ ended his
ministry by making a new family. Woman this is your son…what is needed today to
restore, protect and sanctify our world is devotion through families to the
Divine Mercy. The Divine Mercy devotion is meant for the end times, therefore,
the consecration prayer which enriches the devotion, fits perfectly into the
“real time” of families everywhere.
Lord Jesus, if you want to pour your mercy out on souls,
how much more must you desire to pour it out on whole families, especially in
our time when so many families reject you. Therefore, we the ______________
Family offer ourselves to your merciful love and ask for the graces and mercy
that other families refuse. We ask this in order to console your Heart and
because we need your mercy. Fill us with your mercy, Lord. Please forgive us
our sins, and give us the grace to be merciful to one another in our deeds,
words, and prayers. May the rays of mercy that go forth from your Heart reign
in our home and in our hearts. Please make our home a place where your mercy
can rest and where we, too, can find rest in your mercy. Bless us with your
mercy when we leave our home and bless us again when we return. Bless everyone
we meet with the mercy you pour into our hearts. Especially bless those who visit
our home — may they experience your mercy here.
Mary, Mother of Mercy, help us to faithfully live our
Offering to God's Merciful Love. We give ourselves to you and ask you to share
with us your Immaculate Heart. Help us to accept your Son's mercy with your own
openness of heart at the Annunciation. Help us to be grateful for God's mercy
with your own joyful heart at the Visitation. Help us to trust in God's mercy,
especially during times of darkness, with your own steadfast faith at Calvary.
Finally, Mary, protect and preserve our family in love, so that one day we may
rejoice together with you and all the saints in the communion of the eternal
Family of Love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
St. Joseph, pray for us. St. Faustina, pray for us. St.
Thérèse, pray for us.[1]
Please pray for the soul of the mother of my seven children who's birthday; today is. We lost her in February of this year. Hail Mary...
