Early Spring Prayer Walk Through the Cemetery

"By the sweat of your face
    you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
    for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
    and to dust you shall return.”

Genesis 3: 19

 Oh, My Jesus,

forgive us our sins.

Save us from the 

fires of hell.

Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of your mercy.

 

Eternal Father,

I offer You the most Precious Blood

of Your dearly Beloved Son,

Jesus,

in union with all of the Masses said throughout the world today,

in reparation for sins,

for the Holy Souls in Purgatory,

for sinners everywhere,

for sinners in the universal church,

 those within my own home

and 

within my family.

Amen.

St. Gertrude Prayer said to release 10,000 souls every time it is prayed.

 "For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

1Corinthians 1:18

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 

Matthew 9:37

Pray for Priests 

daily.

Prayer of St. Therese for Priests

 

O Jesus, eternal Priest, keep your

priests within the shelter of

Your Sacred Heart, where none

may touch them. Keep unstained

their anointed hands, which

daily touch Your Sacred Body.

Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with

your Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly

their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. 

Let Your holy love surround

them and shield them from the world's contagion

 Bless their labors with abundant fruit and

may the souls to whom they minister be their

joy and consolation here and in heaven their

beautiful and everlasting crown. 

Amen.

 

 

"The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.  I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!”

John 16: 32-33

 

Eternal rest grant unto them, Oh, Lord,

and let Your Perpetual light shine upon them,

and

may the souls of all the faithful departed,

through your loving and infinite mercy,

rest in peace.

Amen

 

 

 Let us pray for Persecuted Christians around the World

Father in Heaven, you make your sun shine
on good and bad alike.
Your Son Jesus Christ died for us all
and in his glorious Resurrection
He still retains the five wounds of his Passion.
With his divine power he now sustains
all those who suffer persecution and martyrdom
for the sake of their fidelity
to the faith of the Church.
Merciful and mighty Father,
do not allow Cain to return again to murder
helpless Abel, innocent Abel.
May persecuted Christians around the world
remain, like Mary, their Mother,
together at the foot of the cross
of Christ the Martyr.
Comfort those menaced by violence
and those oppressed by uncertainty.
May your Holy Spirit of love
make fruitful the witness and the blood
of those who die forgiving.
Amen.
