Novena to Protect from the Corona Virus


To the Queen of Peace   
A novena –prayed every day for nine days with the rosary –

ORATIO IMPERATA – Prayer Against the Spread of the Corona Virus
From the Prayer of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, CBCP                        (I added paragraphs 3 & 4)

“God Our Father, we come to you in our need, to ask your protection against the 2019-N Corona Virus, that has claimed lives and affected many.

We pray for your grace for the people tasked with studying the nature and cause of this virus and its disease, and of stemming the tide of its transmission.  Guide the hands and minds of medical experts that they may minister to the sick with competence and compassion, and of those governments and agencies, that must find a cure and solution to this epidemic. 

We pray for those afflicted, may they be restored to health soon.  Grant us the grace to work for the good of all and to help those in need.  May every need be plentiful; including medicine, doctors and trained staff; supplies, food, equipment; and may the facilities, clinics, and hospitals have everything they need to care for the sick and contain the virus.  May the authorities be divinely guided on how to carefully protect the public from the spread of the virus; via transportation, travel, commerce, food, schools, businesses and domestic daily activity.

We pray for protection from fear and panic; that through the Queen of Peace, we may calmly pray with confidence and trust that God will assist us with every need in dealing with this virus.

Grant this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.  Amen.”

The corona virus was named because it appears to resemble a crown.  In this novena, we implore, under her crown of grace, that no evil will have power over us; we call upon our Queen and Mother to protect and care for us.  She who was crowned in Heaven by grace, to help us against an invisible virus which is spreading rapidly, sickening and killing people.  We consecrate ourselves to her so under her crown, the ravages of  a 'corona virus' shall have no power over us, or can harm us or our families.  Our Lady was solemnly crowned by Christ and received by the whole court of Heaven as Queen.  We now declare her as Queen of the human race; the Queen of Heaven and Earth.  Under her protection and help, we will overcome.

What Christ has done in Heaven and the Church has done on our behalf we should now do individually; we should recognize Mary's Queenship, enthrone her in our homes, consecrate ourselves to her and, by this means, establish in our lives the reign of Mary Immaculate Queen of the Universe.  Here are other optional prayers to pray with the novena:

Novena to Mary, Queen of All Hearts
“I greet you, ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, throne of grace, miracle of almighty power! I greet you, sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen of the Universe, Mother of mercy and refuge of sinners!

Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty and sweetness, and by your tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, and beg of you to obtain for me of your dear Son the favor I request in this novena: (mention your request).

Obtain for me also, Queen of Heaven and Earth, the most lively contrition for my many sins and the grace to imitate closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity, and obedience. Above all, I beg you to be my mother and protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory.

Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy! Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during life or at the moment of my death.

Daughter of the Eternal Father, Mother of the Eternal Son, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, Temple of the Adorable Trinity, pray for me. Immaculate an tender Heart of Mary, refuge of the needy and hope for sinners, filled with the most lively respect, love, and gratitude, I devote myself forever to your service, and I offer my heart with all that I am and all that is mine.
Accept this offering, sweet Queen of Heaven and Earth, and obtain for me from your dear Son, Jesus Christ, the favors I ask through your intercession in this novena. Obtain for me also a generous, constant love of God, perfect submission to His Holy Will, the true spirit of a Christian, and the grace of final perseverance.
Amen.**

O Mary, Queen of All Hearts, Advocate of the most hopeless cases; Mother most pure, most compassionate; Mother of Divine Love, full of divine Light, we confide to your care the petitions which we humbly ask of you today.

Consider our misery, our tears, our interior trials and sufferings. We know that you can help us through the merits of your Divine Son, Jesus. We promise, if our prayers are heard, to spread your glory by making you known under the title of "Mary, Queen of All Hearts, Queen of Heaven, of Earth, of the Universe."
Grant, we beseech you, hear our prayers, for every day you give us so many proofs of your love and intercession to heal both body and soul. We hope against all hope; ask Jesus to cure us, pardon us, and grant us final perseverance.

“O Mary, Queen of All Hearts, help us; we have confidence in you.” X 3

Novena For Our President - Our Lady of America!

It has been published that satanic forces are carrying out an orchestrated effort to cast spells upon president Trump this Halloween.  Let us pick up are Rosaries, Bibles, and fall to our knees to join forces to halt all evil assaults upon this president and our beloved country, with Our Lady of America at the helm, declaring all satanic forces as defeated and crushed under her heel!

Please join in this prayer campaign to pray for our President, his administration, all the white hats behind the scenes, our military and for the citizens of this country to unite, pray and save America.  Since elected, there has been a blatant move by globalists and the media to rebel against our president and openly attack him.  Also pray for an end to the child abuse and trafficking that Trump has uncovered and tried to stop the operations of these evil forces!  Our military has even conducted raids to stop them.  It is a large reason why they are after him.

Democrat leaders have attacked our president relentlessly and are now trying to remove him from office to cover and protect themselves from prosecution of their own crimes.  They have tried one attack after another to stop our government and this president from operating and fulfilling their roles as leaders, and to protect the citizens.  It appears they are trying to seize power and carry out a coup.  Sources have gathered evidence that this is exactly what is going on behind the scenes.  The mainstream media has fed the frenzy and fed the public lies to further confuse and mislead the people.  May the truth be exposed, may the media along with the evil forces be justly prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned for their crimes, and may good, bold, Godly leaders be put in their place.  May law and order be restored.  May the children be protected and cherished!  Let us pray for their conversion!  Pray for the conversion of all of America!  May the socialist, globalist agendas be halted forever, and may freedom and liberty be restored and protected!

Start with this daily prayer, and below are the Nine Days Novena Prayers:

Daily Prayer to Our Lady of America

O Immaculate Mother, Queen of our Country, open our hearts, our homes, and our Land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son. With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of God’s light shining in and about you. Be our Leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior, Who loves us with infinite charity.

We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care.

We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us.
We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love, and the purity of our lives according to your desire.

Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us. Use us, your children of America, as your instruments in bringing peace among men and nations. Work your miracles of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us.

May your valiant Spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in “renewing the face of the earth.” Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother, and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son reigns forever as King. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be . . .

By thy holy and Immaculate Conception, O Mary, deliver us from evil!

"Native Americans in Medjugorje"
-presented by Julie Buresh 

In '97 there was a special call to all Native American Leaders and Chiefs.  Fr. Jozo invited them to Medjugorje for a special retreat, called "A Call to the Eagle's Nest".

66 Canadian Chiefs/Leaders, and 28 from the United States, gathered to pray, learn, heal and listen to Our Lady.  They were called there during the Bosnian war when the Native Yugoslavians were in the midst of massive genocide and war.  But they braved the journey, to a place of peace.  It was a fascinating journey, and amazing spiritual events took place.


 Come, bring your family, a favorite dish to share, and learn how to have greater peace and surrender in your life.    For further information, contact:   Julie Buresh, 316-734-1822

Urgent Prayer Call for President Trump, and to Save America


Please join in this prayer campaign to pray for our President, his administration, all the white hats behind the scenes, our military and for the citizens of this country to unite, pray and save America.  In the last month or so, there has been a blatant move by globalists and the media to rebel against our president and openly attack him.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have been kingpens in an effort to stop our government and this president from operating and fulfilling their roles as leaders, and to protect the citizens.  It is almost like they have tried to seize power and form a coup.  Rumblings from underground sources believe that is exactly what is going on behind the scenes.  The mainstream media has fed the frenzy and fed the public lies to further confuse and mislead the people.

Then this past week, we watched at the wonderful March for Life, some radical fringe protestors attack some innocent pro-life high school boys, who now have received death threats and all sorts of hate rhetoric, much of it from media sources and Liberal celebs and entertainers.  On the heels of that, New York legalized abortion up to birth!!

I saw this prophecy posted on social media.  I firmly believe it is a wake up call.  Here it is:


This powerful prophecy is from Ramin Parsa, ex-Muslim, Christian evangelist, who wrote this on Facebook: I got this message from a friend:
(He had a powerful disturbing dream about how president Trump was being devoured by symbolic alligators in a drowning ship. He received this prophecy afterward)

 .."the Lord spoke to me and said,
“Jeremiah, My people do not recognize the demonic warfare from hell that is being unleashed upon the United States and Donald Trump. Even as a wall is being built, why are My people refusing to build a wall of intercession and prayer around their President and around their nation? Yes, the borders are unsecured but they are far more unsecured in the Spirit realm than you could ever imagine. How is it that a man would see the necessity of building a wall to protect a country but My people cannot even recognize their desperate need to build a wall of intercession and prayer around their own lives and churches? How the American Church continues to sleep and slumber in these days of history has come before My throne and it has greatly grieved My heart!

I warn you Jeremiah, that as Donald tries to drain the Swamp, the Swamp is going to drain him. His heart will become hardened, his resolve will become dangerous, and the attack’s upon his life and presidency will only get bigger and bigger. This will be a result in large part due to a prayerless Church in America that has refused to pray for their President and that has ignored the demonic agendas in Washington. If My people do not begin to gather and call upon My name, great danger will come upon the shores of the United States of America, says God.”

I truly believe this is a call to prayer that we are to answer to.  I urge you all to gather your families in prayer, urge friends to start praying!  Fast on Weds. and Fridays, pray the rosary every day and/or go to Holy Mass, or read scripture daily, make sacrifices, offer your suffering, and cling to the sacraments.  It is also recommended to use the sacramentals for protection more than usual; holy water, blessed salt, wearing blessed objects.  We are Christians.  God's power is so immense and his plan is so beautiful.  But He truly needs us to get on our knees and pray!  Call upon the Holy Angels.  Let us pray for the protection of our president, for the conversion of the media, and for Truth to prevail!! 

Call upon the Queen of Peace!  She has come since 1981 to assist and pray with us, for God's plan to be unfolded to save humanity!  Read up on her messages, and follow the 5 stones!  Her presence here is crucial and important!



Go, Children of God!  Do what you were created to do!  Bring graces and peace upon this land.  God always hears the cries of His faithful, and He has great plans for the United States.  We must heed this call, and pray in this spiritual war for our survival.  The world is depending on us.  We are the last stand.  If the United States falls, many nations will also fall right into the hands of the enemy!  May peace and healing bless this great land.  God Bless America!

Novena to the Immaculate Conception for the US Elections!

Novena to the Immaculate Conception starts today for the upcoming all important US election!

In 1791, America's first bishop, John Carroll, entrusted his diocese - which was the entire country at the time - to Mary. The U.S. bishops affirmed that dedication in 1846, declaring Mary the Immaculate Conception to be patroness of the United States.

The novena prayer comes from the 1959 dedication of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. It was approved that year by Cardinal Patrick O'Boyle, then-archbishop of Washington.



Novena to Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the US

Most Holy Trinity: Our Father in Heaven, who chose Mary as the fairest of your daughters; Holy Spirit, who chose Mary as your Spouse; God the Son, who chose Mary as your Mother, in union with Mary we adore your majesty and acknowledge your supreme, eternal dominion and authority.

Most Holy Trinity, we put the United States of America into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present the country to you. Through her we wish to thank you for the great resources of this land and for the freedom which has been its heritage.

Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the Catholic Church in America. Grant us peace. Have mercy on our President and on all the officers of our government. Grant us a fruitful economy, born of justice and charity. Have mercy on capital and industry and labor. Protect the family life of the nation. Guard the precious gift of many religious vocations. Through the intercession of our Mother, have mercy on the sick, the tempted, sinners - on all who are in need.

Mary, Immaculate Virgin, our Mother, Patroness of our land, we praise you and honor you and give ourselves to you. Protect us from every harm. Pray for us, that acting always according to your will and the will of your divine Son, we may live and die pleasing to God.

Amen.

**Might I ask you all to consecrate these elections to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Hearts of Jesus, asking for voters to open their hearts and vote for good, upright, just and righteous leaders to govern the people.  That fraud and cheating and illegal votes be prevented and stopped; the perpetrators caught and subject to due justice.

100th Anniversary Fatima Novena for Peace and for Protection of the Holy Mass


Calling all prayer warriors.  There are many things commencing over this month, and next month.  There are signs in the sky, and celestial events that are all connecting with Marian feast days and events.  The eclipse is this week, and alignment of the stars for coming in Sept is the fulfillment of Rev 12, the Woman Clothed with the Sun.  These will be actual star constellations, that are forthcoming.

Some say the eclipse is a direct warning to America:




Here is information about the Sept 21st celestial event:


So today we are starting a novena  to honor the 100th anniversary of Fatima, in union with the church calendar and feast days:

For peace on all levels of human existence; in our hearts, our world, among all nations, and for special blessing upon world leaders in their role for God's desire for peace.  In this special plan of peace, in particular we pray for the Holy Mass, the greatest gift which Christ gave mankind to preserve and maintain heavenly peace upon earth and within the heart of Man.  To redo, renew and recreate God's Divine Order by praying into existence, the true Divine Will of God, and to end all offenses against God.  The Holy Mass is threatened by offenses, liturgical changes and invalidations, and we pray to protect and preserve Christ's great paschal sacrifice and true hope to save mankind.  Pray the Holy Mass and our priests be protected since the persecutions are increasing here and around the world.  This novena is offered as reparation for all sins against the Holy Mass; past, present and future.

For the novena:

  • Go to Confession during the Novena, attend as many daily Masses as possible,
  • Pray the Fatima Novena Prayer daily,
  • Offer Holy Communions, 
  • Pray at least one Rosary daily, 
  • Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily at 3pm, if possible,
  • Fast on Wed. and Friday. 
  • Offer daily sacrifices and sufferings, etc...

Fatima Novena Prayer:
"Most Holy Virgin, who deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion. By meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in your Rosary, may we gather the fruits contained therein and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, the Peace of Christ for the world, and this favor that I so earnestly seek of you in this novena (here mention your request) I ask this of you, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people.  Amen"  

Say the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be (three times each)


Tonight EWTN is having a live event, HOLY HOUR for world peace, please join in, at 8pm ET.  Here is some other wonderful programming from EWTN about Fatima, and the messages.  Catholic Television Network | EWTN

Daily Prayer for Priests by Cardinal Cushing & Daily Rosa Mystica Litany.
http://www.catholictradition. org/Mary/rosa-mystica3b.htm
http://www.catholicity.com/ prayer/prayer-for-priests-2. html

Please review these links to understand the significance and Rosa Mystica, and how it ties to Our Lady's messages thru Medjugorje.  She has implored us for over two years now, to pray for her priests and "Sheperds".  This novena is dedicated to the Pope, Cardinals, Bishops and Priests.  Her chosen, beloved sons.


The best explanation of the "Rosa Mystica" in relation to Her Priests was in the second apparition, (which I have pasted in purple) details in link below.

On June 13, 1947, Our Lady appeared again in the hospital early one Sunday. morning. This time she was dressed in white and instead of the three swords she had three roses: a white one, a red one, and a golden one. Pierina Gilli asked her, "Please tell me who you are." The Lady answered, smiling, "I am the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of you." 

Here she paused, then she went on, "Our Lord sends me to bring a new Marian devotion for all male and female institutes, religious orders, and secular priests. I promise those religious institutes, orders, and secular priests who venerate me in this special way my special protection, an increase of spiritual vocations, fewer betrayed vocations, and great sanctity among the servants of God. I wish the 13th of each month to be celebrated as the day of Mary. 

On the twelve preceding days, special prayers of preparation should be said." 
With an expression of great joy, she went on, "On this day I shall send to these religious institutes, members of orders, and secular priests who have honored me in this way, a superabundance of graces and great sanctity. I wish the 13th of July of each year to be celebrated in honor of the 'Rosa Mystica,' the Mystical Rose." 

Pierina asked whether she would perform a miracle. Our Lady answered, "The most evident miracle will be the godly souls, who for some time, especially during the last war, became lukewarm, so that they were unfaithful or even betrayed their vocation, will cease to offend Our Lord gravely. By their great offenses, they brought punishment and persecution upon the Church-----as we experience it in our days-----but then the original spirit of their holy founders will blossom again." With these words the conversation ended. Now Our Lady explained to Pierina the meaning of the three swords and the three roses. A moving explanation which is to taken quite seriously! 

The first sword means loss of the vocation as a priest or a monk. The second sword means priests, monks, and nuns who live in deadly sin. The third sword means priests and monks who commit the treason of Judas. While giving up their vocation, they often lose also their faith, their eternal beatitude, and become enemies of the Church. The white rose means the spirit of prayer. The red rose means the spirit of expiation and sacrifice. The yellow or golden rose means the spirit of penitence.
