Prayer For Guidance And Protection To Those I Love
O heavenly Father, our Protector and Guide, You are the greatest Friend and Joy
we have! To be able to come to You in prayer like this is the most beautiful
part of our lives!
It is not for myself that I want to pray today, dear Father, but for those who
are near and dear to me and about whom I am worrying. You know what they are
facing, dear Father. And You know most of all the deepest reasons why these
things have come upon them!
And You know how I want to help. Truly I think it would be easier if I could
only face what they are facing. But You know how helpless we are to help another
even though we know what is just and right.
Only You are left, dear Father. Do be with them in all things at all times.
Protect them from enemies and evil, my Father. Forgive them their sins and put
love of others in their hearts.
Do make them happy in their lives at home, dear Father, and help them live as
You would have them live. Above all, put love in their hearts for You.
And thank You, my Father, for Your goodness to them and to me. Thank You for
Your love and guidance and protection! May we honor you all the days of our
lives. And be happy and uplifted even as I feel right now! Amen.
Prayer for Protection
~~ from the Church's night prayer
Visit this house, we beg you, Lord,
and banish from it the deadly power of the evil one.
May your holy angels dwell here to keep us in peace,
and may your blessing be always upon us.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for Endurance through the Coming Chastisement
Merciful and Loving Father, Your wish is that all men should be saved. Kindly
look on Your rejected and condemned Son Who suffered many tortures and will
suffer many tortures through the sins of Your people. Look and see what sin has
done to Your only-begotten Son.
I offer all people who are living in these
ungodly and wicked days, all the tortures, pains, rejections, and shame of Your
son Jesus Christ to You, for faith to withstand trials and patience to withstand
long tortures. May they, through the sufferings of Your only Son, fight to the
end. Amen.
Our Lord's torture - increase our faith. Precious Blood of Jesus - save us.
Amen.
~~ from Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The
Greatest Devotion of Our Time
Prayer for the Reign of Glory on Earth
O Loving and Merciful Father, all knowing and all powerful, the Alpha and the
Omega, the Eternal Father Who created all things, that You should forsake Your
children, Your nature forbids. Look kindly on Your begotten Son Jesus Christ Who
came to save men and bring Your Kingdom down on earth.
We offer You all the
agonies, tortures, pains, and the Precious Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ for
the defeat of all the enemies of the Holy Cross of Salvation, the Antichrist and
the Red Dragon who are fighting against the truth now and in the end of the age.
May they, through the Precious Blood of our Redeemer and His last breath on
earth, disappear like foam exposed under the sun, so that Your Kingdom may
quickly come on earth. Amen.
Precious Blood of Jesus Christ - Thy Kingdom come. Amen.

Fr Doucette - "Pray for those who resent you" - Sun, Aug 31, 2008
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Pray for those who resent you"
Sunday, August 31, 2008
Dear Friends,
You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5: 43 48
I will soon begin to prepare for the Healing Mass on Friday, September 5, at 7:30 p.m. On September 17, I will go to Pont Landry in New Brunswick for a Healing Mass there at 7:00 p.m. I will bring my beautiful candles made by Amanda Richard to sell before and after Mass.
Our Lord gave another message to Joseph. These are the words of Jesus addressed to Joseph, You are My friends if you follow all My teachings. You know that I put into practice all that I taught. I taught the people of Israel when I was living with them about love.
None of My followers are to hate anyone not even their enemies. You are to love every one even your persecutors. I gave you the example when I was hanging on the cross. Before My death on the cross, I forgave all those who hit Me, forced Me to carry the cross, who nailed Me to the cross and who insulted Me.
I prayed in this way, Father, forgive them, they know not what they do. If you have any hatred against anyone, look at the cross and know that I forgive all those who killed Me.
My dear brothers and sisters, I know how difficult it is to forgive those who have hurt you or insulted you, but take My words to heart and begin to forgive them. I cannot live in a heart filled with hatred and know that such hatred brings darkness and unrest in your heart.
It is only by forgiving as I did that peace can come back to you. It might take you many days of forgiving your brother or sister before the peace and light return to you but they will, if you forgive with all your heart.
I call you to pray for those who resent you or insult you. Your prayers will be a great help to bring them to Me and to make them feel ashamed for what they did. In time they will come to reestablish their friendship with you. Then your enemy will become your friend.

Time For Repentance Grows Short
Today I attended the 8:00 AM Mass as part of the 5 First Saturdays to Our
Lady. I said a rosary and remembered all those with special needs and
intentions. After making small offerings to Jesus and Mary, His Mother, I
offered an Act of Contrition in preparation of receiving the most sacred Host in
the sacrament of Holy Communion.
With the precious body and blood of Christ on my tongue, I knelt in silent
commune with Jesus asking Him to please turn off all words to my heart, or
visions, other than those from Him to me.
I began to see people dressed in clothing from the Arab nations. In the small
towns there were only a few people to be seen.
Then Jesus spoke saying Behold what you see are towns that are emptying of
their men as they leave to become Soldiers against the United States. And all
who do not know My Commandments or know Me will be murdered and left by the
roadsides to become fertilizer for the earth.
More than ever before, the time to repent and come to Me grows very short.
Come to Me and I will give you rest. I will be your good Shepard and guide you
to safety! Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your
brothers and sisters.
Message to littlest of servants August 29, 2008
JESUS wants HIS remnant to read the following:
*2nd Thessalonians 2:14
*Apocalypse
11:19 and 13:4.
*THESSALONIANSS (when reading the Bible,it is good to read the verse above, and below, to get context):
11
Therefore, God is sending them a deceiving power so that they may believe the lie,
12
that all who have not believed the truth but have approved wrongdoing may be condemned.
13
But we ought to give thanks to God for you always, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits 7 for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in truth.
14
To this end he has (also) called you through our gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. 8
16
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace,
17
encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word.
*The footnote 8 indicates that it is a reference “to an oral statement and a letter (2 Thes 2:2) and the content here, including a formula of conclusion (cf 1 Cor 16:13; Gal 5:1), suggest that 2 Thes 2:1-15 or even 2 Thes 2:1-17 are to be taken as a literary unit, notwithstanding the incidental thanksgiving formula in 2 Thes 2:13.”

I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. 3 Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.

They worshiped the dragon because it gave its authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast 4 and said, "Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?"

5 6 The beast was given a mouth uttering proud boasts and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.

It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling and those who dwell in heaven.
It was also allowed to wage war against the holy ones and conquer them, and it was granted authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.

4 [4] Worshiped the beast: allusion to emperor worship, which Domitian insisted upon and ruthlessly enforced. Who can compare with the beast: perhaps a deliberate parody of the name Michael; see the note on Rev 12:7.

Messages to The Two Patricks August 1-25,2008
Friday 1 August 2008
Jesus:
Yes, My son, begin this fight but do it in Truth for discipline will bring My
House back into what I wish it to be.
Discipline trains the body and soul to
follow Me in Truth. Without discipline you cannot fight against self. You must
learn to discipline the body for this is the desire of the soul and this is true
dying to self. It takes discipline to fast, to pray and to deny self these are
all parts of discipline and without it you will never truly find Me, you will
simply find the desires of self.
Can you understand these things that I have
been drawing you towards? Can you see now what I have been asking of you? You
must continue this fight in order to do what I ask of you. I Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

For those who worked in Slovenia on this date
Do not worry, My son, it is I who guide you here. All is well. Continue as I
inspire you and you will do well. These windows need replaced and soon for
there is no more life in them, they have served their purpose. Do only the
worst ones for now.
You may call My two sons over to replace this pipe but they
must be obedient to My Will in this and how they live here. Thank you, My
children, for being here to do My Will. Open your hearts to Me and be obedient
to My Will. I Bless the little ones with My Cross on their foreheads and I
Bless the Work.
The Way of Truth
Monday 25 August 2008
Introduction:
I have found over these past few years it is getting harder and harder to follow
Jesus in truth. I find myself slipping into the world and its ways, although I
do not want to, it seems to be happening, it is as if I am on a slippery slope
and no matter how hard I try to climb the slope I am sliding backwards. I have
felt Jesus calling me to write so that He can help me and you to find a path
back to Him.
I know it is the times that we now live in: that is the slippery
slope. That brings to mind a piece of Scripture;
If the time had not been
shortened not even the elect would have survived (And unless those days were
shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be
shortened. Matthew 24:22)
I know if things continue the way that they are, very few of us will survive
this time for it would be so easy to get swept away in the current of this
world.
Even within our churches and at Mass there is no refuge for so many priests
preach a gospel of self, we can say that it does not effect us but, yes, it
does. It is like dripping water on stone, eventually it will make a hole and
cut through it.
These false doctrines are the things that self wants to hear
and gradually, through time, we will fall to them, if we are not strong enough.
In these Words that Jesus will speak to us, I know He means to try and give us a
foothold on the slope so that we will be able to fight through the ?grease? of
this world and into the safety of His outstretched Arms.
We know that we must fight our way towards Jesus, He can only help us to a
certain degree. We must prove to Him, in our free will, that we truly want Him
and His Ways. We can say that it is unfair that we must do this but, in His
Love, He has given us free will and does not want to force us to follow Him; He
wants us to make that decision totally in our own free will. So, we must fight
against sin and the desires of self that lead us away from Jesus and eventually
into the flames of hell.
Hell is the place that the world denies the existence of for when we remove hell
from the equation then we remove lucifer and so we can do whatever we please
because God is an all-Merciful God and the only place is Heaven.
I have heard even priests saying that they do not believe in hell! How foolish
can humans really become? Our Lady in Fatima showed the children a vision of
hell and said that the amount of people that were going there every day was like
a shower of snowflakes.
So many of us are being lost by our own complacency and
laziness of not wanting to fight for the Truth for we know it is the truth, even
though we try to deny it within ourselves. I know that in my younger years, I
denied the truth of God. I laughed at my mother and her holy friends when they
tried to tell me about God.
Looking back now, I knew what they were saying was true but, in truth, I did not
want to know because it did not suit the life that I was living and made me feel
guilty and so I became angry and abusive. When we look around that is what this
world is now, angry and abusive. Everyone has become so angry and abusive with
each other.
For example, on the roads, in the shops, in sport, everywhere! I
have even seen arguments start as people come out of the car park after Mass.
What a world we are now living in! Yet, we live in it and try to ignore the
truth that is within all of our hearts. We prefer to live these lives of denial
with no peace in order to hold on to our selfishness and untruth.
I pray and hope that these Words that Jesus will speak to us will cut through
our selfishness and open our hearts to the Dream of Jesus for it is my greatest
desire to see His Dream fulfilled. I know many of you are like me and are
finding it so difficult in these times we live in. Let's take these Words that
our Master will speak and show this world that He is Alive and that He is Coming
soon.
Chapter 1
The Complacency of Self
Patrick:
Jesus, will You help me in this? I wish to come back to You; I wish to regain
my strength in order to follow You in the truth. I am willing to give up all
work and stay with You to simply listen. I feel as though I have lost so much;
the world is encroaching at an ever increasing rate and it is so hard to
concentrate on You. But I know if I get close to You I will be able to see
clearly once again.
Jesus:
My son, it is My desire that you come to Me like this. So many times I have
told you that I am your strength and without Me nothing will come to fruition.
Stay with Me in this time, My son, and I will strengthen you in this battle that
you fight for Me for, it is true, you are weak and at the risk of falling;
stay
with Me until I tell you that you are able to return to this world for you have
lost much and much must be regained. I Love you, My little son, I Love you and
this is My desire for you. I Love you.
My son, you must always look to the Truth, always look through that that self
desires and then you will begin to see My Truth. Self is your enemy and will
always try to distort the Truth. The desires of self are always influenced by
the trickery of lucifer.
This is why I have said, in order to follow Me in
truth one needs to die to self. So many try to follow in My Footsteps without
dying to self and are led off on many different paths that are not of Me. This
is what is happening now in the times that you live in, so many of My children
are following a path that does not lead to Me but leads to their eventual
destruction.
This is why you hear so many distorting My Truth into truth that
is only lies and darkness, so many are being deceived by the lies and desires of
self. In these Words that I speak I will show My children how it is so easy to
become deceived by the desires of self for this is what lucifer works upon.
My Path is a straight one; it has been laid down by Me so that mankind can
follow in My Truth. If you are not willing to follow in My Footsteps then you
are not willing to follow the Truth. Truth simply looks to the good of others,
even should that mean the downfall of one’s self. Look where My Path led, it
led Me to Calvary where I gave All of Myself so that all mankind could have
Eternal Life with Me in My Father's Kingdom.
If you are not willing to give up
your life then you are not willing to follow Me in Truth. When you step upon
this Path, nothing matters except the desire to bring souls to your God for when
you begin to see clearly then you begin to realise that this life that you lead
upon this earth matters little for true life begins when you enter My Kingdom.
I have shown you this in many different ways through My Apostles and My Saints.
Do not look to self and what self can gain but look to your God and desire
Eternal Life with Him and miracles will become an everyday part of your life.
No one upon this earth uses My Power now to the full for they have allowed self
to influence them so much that they can no longer see the true Path that leads
to the Kingdom of their God. In these Words I mean to explain the ways of dying
to self and the ways of seeing My Truth, how to overcome the desires of self, to
see through the blindness that self can instil in each of My children. I will
show you how to break free and begin to see the Truth of your God.
I will
explain and show you the joys that await you in My Father's Kingdom, you shall
feel these and know them within your heart as you read these Words. My Way is
Love, children, and I will show you My Love as I have shown you so many times in
the past. My only desire is that you be with Me in My Father's Kingdom where We
shall be Love and One in all things.
So little time is left before the Great
Tribulation where all mankind shall know and see the Power of their God, that
that has been forgotten shall be seen and mankind will beat their breasts for
their blindness.
In these Words, I will prepare you for this time so that it will be a time of
great joy and celebration for you and you shall rejoice as you see the Hand of
your God touch this earth. The Justice of your God is Holy and so not to be
feared by those who live in the Truth. For those that live in My Truth shall
never know the Justice of their God for, instead of Justice, they shall feel the
Love and Compassion of their God.
I will never desert you, My children, I will
never forget you, I have told you that I would never leave you orphans for I
will bring this earth back to the former beauty that I created. Know this, My
little children, the Love of your God surrounds you, life on this earth cannot
exist without My Spirit.
I am your Lifeblood, I am what runs through your
veins. When you love your neighbour, you love Me, your God, for I am within all
creation. When you look at the rich man I am there, when you look at the poor
man I am there, when you look at the wounded man I am there, when you look at
the evildoers I am there, I am within all of creation. Remember these Words:
40 "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who
sent Me.
41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's
reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man
shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the
name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his
reward." Matthew 10:40-42
I must Suffer the sorrows of all creation for I cannot turn My Back upon anyone,
I must Suffer the pain of all sin for I am there as each sin is committed and
must endure all that mankind throws at Me. My Path is straight, children, and
it awaits your footsteps upon it for the joys that await you can never be
explained in human words. Come with Me upon this journey and let Me show you
the Truth of your God. I Love you.
Patrick:
Jesus, I know how very strong self can be, I understand fully what You meant
when You said
41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into all temptation. The spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41
So many times in the past I have thought to myself, I will fight all temptation
and I will overcome the sins that I have on my Confession?s list but, each time
that I returned to Confession, they were there again and each time I would say
the same thing and go out with an earnest heart, fully prepared to beat them but
before I would know it I would have committed the same sin and be wondering how
I let myself fall into its clutches again.
I can only speak for myself for I am
a weak sinner so much wanting to overcome that that offends You, my God, never
truly winning the battle. Please, Jesus, show me and Your children why we are
so weak when it comes to overcoming the temptations of self and lucifer.
Jesus:
It is simple, My son, you must always be on your guard avoiding all occasions of
sin. Both you and My children many times allow yourselves to be drawn in to
occasions of sin but all the time thinking that you are strong enough to
overcome these and so you fall.
The first thing that you must do is, look at
the greater of your sins and see when the sins are committed. Look for your
greatest times of weakness and avoid these, do not allow self to tell you
otherwise for self is your enemy and will always try to convince you that you
are strong enough to enter these situations. I have told you of the first
thought, all sin begins as a seed in your thoughts and it is up to you whether
you fertilise and irrigate the seed.
Guard your thoughts and do not allow them
to control you for thoughts many times contain the inspirations of lucifer. If
a thought enters your mind which you know will lead to sin then discard that
thought immediately, not allowing it a foothold.
The more that you do this the
stronger you will become and the more your eyes will open as the scales of
blindness fall away. I am your Strength and the more that you come to Me in
prayer, the easier this battle will become for the desires of self will cease to
matter, as you build the walls of holiness.
Patrick:
I know what You are saying, Jesus, but it seems to be becoming more difficult.
I can remember a few years ago I found it much simpler to overcome the desires
of self but now I find it very difficult, it just seems to sneak in and it seems
to me I can be sitting in the middle of impure thoughts, anger, complacency,
judgements, the list is endless, without noticing. No matter how hard I try to
fight, it seems to sneak in and catch me out, a simple innocent conversation can
end up in judgement of others even though I have been watching.
Jesus:
My son, it is true that this happens many times to all My children, remember the
desires of self are strong especially now in these times that you live in. Self
always enjoys gossip, criticism and immoral thoughts, this is why I say you must
always be on your guard not just when you decide to try and be holy.
The more
that you fight against self, the less control self will have for it is true to
say that most of all My children fight for part of the day and allow self to
control the other part, which drains the strength that you have already gained
so it is not a progression of dying to self but it is stagnant, never moving.
When you decide to fight it must be a total commitment to overcome that that is
not of Me and in this commitment you will gain control over self and self will
fade into the background.
Patrick:
Yes, Jesus, I have to say I can really recognise this and it explains a lot to
me. I am trying to be with You all day doing Your Work but when the evening
comes I go home and watch TV and get lost in things that are definitely not of
You, for instance, watching documentaries of say, someone who has been murdered,
raped, deceived or robbed which brings up feelings of anger and retribution in
my heart and the desire for retribution, hoping that they get caught or worse.
I find myself sitting thinking not very Christian thoughts.
The television fills our thoughts with sex or sexual innuendos for even the
advertisements are filled with naked or half naked people and there is always a
sexual innuendo.
I could sit for hours watching programmes and never think of
You, or get involved in conversations with friends, family or neighbours that
are simply gossip or judgement of things that I have watched on the News or in
some other programme.
The next day I wonder why I'm plagued with thoughts that
are not of You and are not easy to fight. I think I can begin to see, I gain
Your Strength in one hand and give it away with the other and then wonder why I
am not becoming stronger.
How blind we are, Jesus, on this earth, these things you have already told us in
Your Scriptures but we never seem to comprehend.
People look at me and Patrick and other Messengers and think it must be so easy
for us because we receive Messages but, I can tell you, I am a total disaster.
Your children look at me and think I am so holy and I look at them and think
that I wish I could have their faith and holiness. I suppose it is the old
saying, the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.
I know I am talking to You like this and wondering will I change because of what
You are telling me or will I go home and do the same things all over again. I
know You have explained so many things to me in the past and I have understood
and done what You have told me for a short while and then drifted back into my
old ways, which goes back to ?The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak."
Discipline
Chapter: 2
Jesus:
It is simple, My son, you must discipline the body in order to overcome all
things that are not of Me. Without discipline you will fail for the calls of the
world will draw you back into it. I have told you this with My Scriptures when
I said,
24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground
and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world
will keep it for eternal life.
26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will
be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honour. John 12:24-26
You must look at each thing within your life that is not of Me and start with
the greater; disciplining the body and the mind, removing the desires for such
things.
Each thing that you do for Me you must fight against the temptations of
the evil one for he will try to draw you away from your goal. Remember,
contrary to what this world believes you are in a spiritual battle. When you
follow Me the evil one and his minions are waiting their opportunity to pull you
down and away from Me.
So many have set out upon this Path and fallen because
of lack of discipline. Each day you should decide in prayer what you will do,
fulfil this no matter what comes against you, do not allow anyone to draw you
away from My Path. I am the Lord, your God, and your desires should be for Me,
not for this world and what it can offer you.
So many are afraid of offending
the people of this world by their actions, so in order not to offend people,
they offend their God, which breaks the first Commandment, First, I am the
Lord, your God, you shall have no strange gods before Me. Look at My priests,
they fear to offend My people so they change My Scriptures in order that no one
be offended. I am forgotten!
Patrick:
Jesus, I know it must be so hard for You when You see so many of us on this
earth deserting You and ceasing to believe in Your Ways. It must be
particularly hard when You see Your priests turning away from Your Laws and
teaching things that are not of You.
It is not hard to see that all discipline
has broken down within Your Church. The Holy Father (John Paul II) or a bishop
would say something good and holy and the rest of the church would disagree
because it would not suit our selfish lifestyle.
Even in society all discipline
has broken down, people are afraid to walk the streets at night because of the
evil. When discipline was removed from the schools and then from the homes, all
seemed to fall apart, everyone has become afraid and You are something to be
laughed at and derided as being old-fashioned.
Jesus:
My Mother and I have told you of these things that would come to pass. The
great falling away has begun and mankind is falling headlong into a disaster
created by his own free will. Look around you, it is true that all discipline
has been forgotten, mankind has become a barbaric race only thinking of himself
and not the good of others.
Even those that have tried to stay with Me have
become a selfish people not looking to the good of their neighbour, not loving
their neighbour but rather loving themselves. It is time to wake up, My people,
and see the Truth that I speak with these Words. There is little time left and
so much Work to be done, the harvest is great but the labourers are few. I am
asking all of you to help Me in this Work of Mine.
I prepare you for what is to
come, I prepare too, My Houses of Prayer so that there will be little beacons of
Light within each country to fulfil My Work for many will come looking for Me in
the Times of Tribulation and you, My children, must be prepared to help them.
So little time and so much to do, you have wasted so much of your time in futile
things. I Love you.
DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.
