Two awesome, efficacious prayers for you! – Part 2, Thirty Days Prayer to the BVM July 7, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, Christendom, General Catholic, Glory, Grace, Interior Life, Novenas, Our Lady, sanctity, Spiritual Warfare, Tradition, Virtue. comments closed I posted previously an Act of Reparation, which was the first great prayer for today. The second is a Thirty Day Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Honor of the Sacred Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Again, thanks to my wife for typing this up for me! (By the devout recital of this prayer during thirty days, we may firmly hope to obtain our lawful request. It is particularly recommended as a proper devotion for every day in Lent, and all the Fridays throughout the year.) Ever glorious and blessed Mary, Queen of virgins, Mother of mercy, hope and comfort of all dejected and desolate souls, through that sword of sorrow, which pierced thy tender heart whilst thine only Son, Christ Jesus, our Lord, suffered death and ignominy on the cross; through that filial tenderness and pure love He had for thee, grieving in thy grief, whilst from His cross He recommended thee to the care and protection of His disciple St. John: take pity, I beseech thee, on my poverty and necessities; have compassion on my anxieties and cares; assist and comfort me in all my infirmities and miseries, of what kind soever. Thou art the Mother of mercies, the sweet Consolatrix and only refuge of the needy and the orphan, of the desolate and afflicted. Cast therefore an eye of pity on a miserable, forlorn child of Eve, and hear my prayer. For since, in just punishment of my sins, I find myself encompassed by a multitude of evils, and oppressed with much anguish of spirit, whither can I fly for more secure shelter, O Mother of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, than under the wings of thy maternal protection. Attend then, I beseech thee, with an ear of pity and compassion, to my most humble and earnest request. I ask it through the infinite mercy of thy dear Son; through that love and condescension wherewith He embraced our nature, when, in compliance with thy divine will, thou gavest thy consent, and whom, after the expiration of nine months, thou didst bring forth from the chaste enclosure of thy womb, to visit this world, and bless it with His presence. I ask it through that anguish of mind wherewith His blessed Mother, His Apostles and Disciples, and when in their presence, He miraculously ascended into heaven. I ask it through the grace of the Holy Spirit, infused into the hearts of His Disciples, when He descended upon them in the form of fiery tongues, and by which they were inspired with zeal in the conversion of the world, when they went to preach the gospel. I ask it through the awful appearance of thy Son at the last dreadful day, when He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I ask it through the compassion He bore thee in this life, and the ineffable joy thou didst feel at thine assumption into Heaven, where thou art eternally absorbed in the sweet contemplation of His divine perfections. O glorious and ever blessed Virgin, comfort the heart of thy supplicant, by obtaining for me… (Here mention or reflect on your request, under the reservation of its being agreeable to the will of God, who sees whether it will contribute to your spiritual good.) And as I am persuaded my divine Savior doth honor thee as His beloved Mother, to whom He refuses nothing, because thou askest nothing contrary to His honor, so let me speedily experience the efficacy of thy powerful intercession, according to the tenderness of thy maternal affection, and His filial loving heart, who mercifully granteth the request and complieth with the desires of those that love and fear Him. Wherefore, O most blessed Virgin, beside the object of my present petition and whatever else I may stand in need of, obtain for me also of thy dear Son, our Lord and our God, a lively faith, firm hope, perfect charity, true contrition of heart, unfeigned tears of compunction, sincere confession, condign satisfaction abstinence from sin, love of God and my neighbor, contempt of the world, patience to suffer affronts and ignominies, nay even, if necessary, an opprobrious death itself, for love of thy Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Obtain likewise for me, O sacred Mother of God perseverance in all good works, performance of good resolutions, mortification of self-will, a pious conversation through life, and, at my last moments, a strong and sincere repentance, accompanied by such a lively, attentive presence of mind, as may enable me to receive the last Sacraments of the Church worthily, and die in thy friendship and favor. Lastly obtain through thy Son, I beseech thee, for the souls of my parents, brethren, relatives and benefactors, both living and dead, life everlasting from only Giver of each good and perfect gift, the Lord God almighty: to whom be all power, now and forever.

June 17, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, General Catholic, Glory, Grace, Interior Life, Novenas, sadness, sanctity, Tradition, Virtue. comments closed I have two versions, one from Fisheaters and another that is from St. Margaret Mary Alocoque. First: O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore Thee, I love Thee and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer Thee this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to Thy will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in Thee and for Thee. Protect me in the midst of danger; comfort me in my afflictions; give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, Thy blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Within Thy Heart I place my every care. In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust saying, Heart of Jesus help me. Now, what many already pray daily, if you are like me: O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.” Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of……(here name your request) Our Father…. Hail Mary…. Glory Be to the Father…. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you. O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.” Behold, in your name, I ask the Father for the grace of…….(here name your request)Our Father… Hail Mary…. Glory Be To the Father…. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you. III. O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.” Encouraged by your infallible words I now ask for the grace of…..(here name your request)Our Father…. Hail Mary…. Glory Be to the Father… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you. OSacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender Mother and ours. Say the Hail, Holy Queen and add: St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us. — St. Margaret Mary Alacoque A funny and some quick notes June 16, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in Admin, awesomeness, Basics, fun, General Catholic, Interior Life, Latin Mass, Liturgical Year, Novenas, silliness, Society. comments closed I love this, the controversy is finally settled, and in a manner which definitively terminates the “debate,” to the extent there ever was one: Finally, an answer to one of the most critical questions of our time. But in reality, there was no second shot, Solo blasted Greedo, and Greedo fell over. And there was no debate, there was George Lucas futzing around with his movie and a bunch of angry fans. I don’t know about Lucas……. I found American Graffiti boring and pretentious. I think he really lucked out with Star Wars through the involvement of a bunch of other people. He originally wanted green eared spaghetti monsters to be the movie’s main stars. Or something like that. The Empire Strikes Back, in the minds of many fans the best of the bunch, had the least involvement from Lucas. But then again, apparently a younger generation which saw the prequels as kids finds those movies way better than the original three. Amazing, but there is no accounting for taste. Quick notes: Sorry I missed Ember Week last week. I completely failed to remind you. My apologies. You should have switched back from the Regina Caeli, which I love so much, to the Angelus, on Saturday afternoon. I love the Angelus, too, but there is simply no phrase which tops Resurrexit Sicut Dixit in any language! A lot of great Feasts coming up in June: Corpus Christi in Thursday, Sacred Heart a week from Friday, followed by the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul and Our Lady of Perpetual Succor closing out the month. I will try to post Novenas for some if not all of these in the upcoming days. As a quick reminder, your Corpus Christi Novena should be underway (sorry, forgot that, too) and you should start the Sacred Heart Novena tomorrow, 06/17/14.. If you are like me and cannot assist at any of Father Walker’s Requiem Masses, be sure to send you Guardian Angel to assist for you in spirit! You can assist through prayer, as well, which I am about to do. That is all!

Chorus: The sea obeys, and fetters break, And lifeless limbs thou dost restore, Whilst treasures lost are found again, When young and old thine aid implore. All dangers vanish at thy prayer, And direst need doth quickly flee; Let those who know thy power proclaim, Let Paduans say: “These are of thee.” Chorus: The sea obeys, and fetters break, And lifeless limbs thou dost restore, Whilst treasures lost are found again, When young and old thine aid implore.

Yesterday she sent out several Novenas for Pentecost. All start today, Friday May 30. From what she sent, I have chosen two to post here. One is brief, included below. O Holy Spirit, You are the Love of The Father and The Son. Inspire me always in what I should think. Inspire me always in what I should say and how I should say it. Inspire me in what I should keep silence about and how I should do it. Inspire me in what I should do for God’s Honour, for the good of souls and for my own sanctification. Holy Spirit grant me understanding to understand and recognise. Grant me a capacity to remember everything. Teach me the ways and grant me the ability to learn always again. Grant me the acumen to interpret and to discern correctly. Grant me the grace to speak efficaciously. Holy Spirit, grant me confidence and certainty at the beginning. Guide me and lead me during the accomplishment and grant me perfection at the completion. Amen. The other one is a typically looong EWTN Novena. Too long to copy and paste here, go to the link. But the longer the prayer is, the more merit there is in praying it, I suppose. Pray a Novena with your family! Develop in your children a love for this great traditional practice! If you have Fr. John Hardon’s Catholic Prayer Book, there is also a Novena to the Holy Ghost there, on pp. 309-10. Lots of other prayer books have their own versions. Dominus vobiscum!

When the struggle of this life is over, give me the grace to share Your joy and triumph in heaven for all eternity. I believe that You entered into Your glorious Kingdom to prepare a place for me, for You promised to come again to take me to Yourself. Grant that I may seek only the joys of Your friendship and love, so that I may deserve to be united with You in heaven. In the hour of my own homecoming, when I appear before Your Father to give an account of my life on earth, have mercy on me. Jesus, in Your love for me You have brought me from evil to good and from misery to happiness. Give me the grace to rise above my human weakness. May Your Humanity give me courage in my weakness and free me from my sins. Through Your grace, give me the courage of perseverance for You have called and justified me by faith. May I hold fast to the life You have given me and come to the eternal gifts You promised. You love me, dear Jesus. Help me to love You in return. I ask You to grant this special favor: (Mention your request). By Your unceasing care, guide my steps toward the life of glory You have prepared for those who love You. Make me grow in holiness and thank You by a life of faithful service. The Novena for the Ascension is here—->>>>Novena St Rita God bless you! Late Novena reminder May 8, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, fun, General Catholic, Glory, Grace, Interior Life, Novenas, Our Lady, sanctity, Tradition, Virtue. comments closed These really should have gone out Monday, but I did not get to itand then I was out for two days, so it is now well and truly late, but here you go, anyway. Go back in time, and begin your Novena to Our Lady of Fatima last Monday! Feast of Our Lady of Fatima is May 13 Recite this prayer for 9 days… Most Holy Virgin, who has 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, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of sinners, the conversion of Russia, and this favor that I so earnestly seek…. (State your request here…) which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. Amen, Recite the following prayers… 3 Our Father… 3 Hail Marys… 3 Glory Be… You could also start this Novena October 4/5. I do not think Our Lady will mind terribly if you start the Novena today! Just do the full 9 days! “Pray for us, O Holy Martyrs….” March 11, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, General Catholic, Glory, Grace, Interior Life, Novenas, reading, Saints, sanctity. comments closed Just a really quick post from Dom Prosper Gueranger’s exegesis on the Forty Martyrs, Roman soldiers doomed to die on a frozen lake for their adherence to the Truth Christ has revealed through His Church: Pray for us, O Holy Martyrs, that we may avoid all compromise with our enemies; for our defeat is certain if we try to serve two masters. I can think of no more appropriate intention for these authors than this! And upon reflection, the Church will not change, and be restored, until we are. That is the mandatory first step. But sometimes, we may have to go beyond that, in order to defend Truth.

Trodnevnica se može moliti kao zajednička pobožnost u crkvi, ali je možemo moliti i samostalno, prije nekog blagdana ili prije hodočašća. Prikladno je moliti i ako imamo velikih teškoća (križeva) ili smo pred nekom velikom životnom odlukom. Dobro bi bilo ako se može svaki dan trodnevnice pronaći određeno vrijeme i prikladan prostor, primjerice, u tihom dijelu stana ili kuće, negdje u prirodi, u crkvi ili kapelici... - uglavnom negdje gdje ćemo tijekom barem petnaestak minuta do pola sata biti neometani i moći se duboko u svojoj nutrini sabrati i usredotočiti na Boga i našu nebesku Majku. Kad smo postigli tu nutarnju usredotočenost, možemo tiho izmoliti molitvu Očenaš i Zdravo, Marijo, a potom molitvu predanja nebeskoj Majci: Spomeni se, o predobrostiva Djevice Marijo, da se nikada nije čulo da si ikoga zapustila, koji se tebi u zaštitu utekao, tvoju pomoć zatražio i tvoj zagovor zaprosio. Ovim pouzdanjem ohrabren, utječem se i ja tebi, Djevice djevica, k tebi, Majko, dolazim, pred tobom stojim ja grešnik i uzdišem. Nemoj, Majko Božje Riječi, prezreti riječi mojih, nego ih milostivo poslušaj i usliši. Zdravo, Kraljice, majko milosrđa, živote, slasti i ufanje naše, zdravo! K tebi vapijemo prognani sinovi Evini. K tebi uzdišemo tugujući i plačući u ovoj suznoj dolini. Svrni, dakle, zagovornice naša, one svoje milostive oči na nas te nam poslije ovoga progona pokaži Isusa, blagoslovljeni plod utrobe svoje, o blaga, o mila, o slatka Djevice Marijo! Hvale je vrijedan ovaj običaj moljenja trodnevnice, jer time je naša molitva ustrajna, a to se i traži da bi naše molitve bile uslišane. Preporuča se u ove dane, ako je to vjerniku moguće, osim predstavljenih molitvi, poći i na ispovijed, svetu misu te primiti svetu pričest. Na počeku trodnevnice izmolimo himan (pjesmu), potom slijedi kratko razmatranje, tematska molitva, prošnje i završna molitva. Ukoliko vjernik nema dovoljno vremena sve izmoliti, može prema vlastitom nahođenju odabrati samo neke od ponuđenih molitvi ili moliti već poznate molitve. U prošnjama možemo dodati i osobne molbe i nakane. Oni koji žele mogu nakon predloženih molitvi ova tri dana intenzivne pripreme izmoliti krunicu (ili barem deseticu krunice) te Gospine litanije. PRVI DAN Gle, Anđeo blagovjesnik* glas sretan nosi Djevici: Izvršuju se proroštva* i radost sviće zemlji svoj. Jedinac Očev odvijeka* sad rađa se u vremenu, Iz roda evo našega* On Majku sebi odabra. Gle, s nama danas srodi se* da za nas žrtvom postane Te krvlju svojom nevinom* sav grešan rod naš umije. Utjelovljena Istino,* u krilu čiste Djevice! Ti svjetlom duh nam ispuni* i srcu našem otkrij se. A ti, o skromna Djevice,* ti službenice Gospodnja, Što u nebu sad kraljuješ,* zagovaraj nas pred Bogom. O Djevin cvijete, Isuse,* kog rodi Djeva Marija, Sa Ocem, s Duhom Presvetim* nek’ slava ti je vječita. Amen. Razmatranje Sveta Marijo, Majko Kristova, Kraljice svete krunice, svrni svoje milostive oči na nas i budi uz nas u svim našim potrebama. Puni pouzdanja vapijemo: „Majko, ti znaš što znači u svojim rukama držati mrtvo tijelo svoga Sina, kome si poklonila život. Zaštiti sve majke na ovoj zemlji i njihovu djecu od mučenja, ropstva, terorizma, progonstava i zatvora... Tvome majčinskom Srcu, Marijo, povjeravamo prije svega one koji su pritisnuti bolima i patnjama bolesne, hendikepirane, muževe i žene u problematičnim brakovima i djecu u razvedenim obiteljima, ljude koji su pritisnuti dugovima, one koji su bez posla i doma, zatvorenike. O, Marijo, Majko Božja, pomozi njima i svima koji se tebi utječu i koji puni pouzdanja k tebi dolaze. Usliši naše molitve i budi uz nas u svim našim potrebama. Amen. Zdravo, Marijo... Budi, Gospo, uvijek moja pomoć Uzvišena Kraljice, ti vodi uvijek moja djela. Marijo, tebe, koju je Anđeo nazvao blaženom, svi će narodi, kao što si predvidjela, zvati blaženom. Ti si jedina medu smrtnicima rodila Riječ koja je od tebe uzela tijelo. O, Djevice, Majko Božja, prosvijetli me svojim božanskim svjetlom, Roditeljko najvišeg Svjetla, izagnaj svaku tamu iz moje duše, da bih i ja mogao slaviti tebe, koju svi naraštaji nazivaju blaženom. Neka uvijek tebi uzlaze hvale iz naših srdaca, tebi koja si poništila odredbu naše davne osude, koja si nadoknadila za Evin grijeh, tebi koja si uzrok pomirenja ljudskoga roda s Bogom, most sjedinjenja sa Stvoriteljem, sveta Majko Božja. Tebi, Blažena, ispunjena tolikom radošću, puna milosti, uzdižemo glas svoga srca: moli Boga, koga si rodila, da oslobodi od svake pogibelji one koji te neprestano slave u ljubavi. Presveta Djevice, uvijek mi pomaži, Majko Božja, koja ljubiš milosrđe, slavimo te u sve vijeke. Amen. Prošnje Upravimo Bogu svoju molitvu riječima: Zagovorom Majke Marije, Gospodine, podaj mudro srce našim duhovnim i narodnim predvodnicima, molimo te. Neka bolesni osjete kako su Kristu patniku pridruženi i budu vazda dionici njegove utjehe, molimo te. Dostoj se dati i sačuvati plodove zemlje: da svi imaju kruh svagdašnji, molimo te. Oslobodi naš narod od zla, da živi u trajnom i nepomućenom miru, molimo te. Gospodine, dobrotom svojom silnom obdari pokojne: privedi ih u stanove vječne, molimo te. Oče naš… Molitva Neka, Gospodine, srca naša prosvijetli sjaj tvoga uskrsnuća. Daj nam umaći sjeni smrti i postići vječni sjaj tvoga blaženstva. Amen. Pod obranu se tvoju utječemo... DRUGI DAN Srećo svijeta, prva zvijezdo neba, Majko Sunca, Bogoroditeljko, Ruku pruži, u pomoć nam hitaj, Marijo Majko! Ti si, Djevo, ljestve Jakovljeve, sam Sin Očev po tebi nam siđe, Zemlja s nebom po tebi se spaja previšnjim darom. Tebi, Divna, anđeli se dive, apostoli, proroci te slave, Svetih zbor te proslavlja i časti, Kraljice neba! Slavno Trojstvo, vječna tebi hvala! Divnom krunom Kraljicu nam kruniš Da nam bude vjerna odvjetnica, brižljiva Majka. Amen. Razmatranje Bezgrešno začeta Djevice, Majko Kristova, Kraljice neba i zemlje, svrni svoje milostive oči na nas i budi uz nas kada budemo u borbi s moćima tame. Da mi, tvoja djeca, izbjegnemo grijehu slijedeći tvoj primjer i dospijemo k tebi u nebesko Kraljevstvo. Rekla si: „Svakom tko se posveti mom majčinskom Srcu, obećavam svoju zaštitu.” Pouzdajem se u tvoj zagovor, predajem i posvećujem ti svoju dušu i preporučujem ti sve svoje drage i mile. Uzmi nas kao svoju djecu i vodi nas izvoru vječne radosti - Kristu, tvome božanskom Sinu. On je slika nevidljivog Boga. U njemu je sve stvoreno na nebu i na zemlji, sve vidljivo i nevidljivo, prijestolja i gospodstva, moći i vlasti, sve je po njemu i kroz njega stvoreno. O Marijo, Majko od Zdravlja, izliječi bolesne, pomaži nas svojim blagoslovom, smiluj nam se da ne izgubimo pouzdanje u tebe, nego da tvojim zagovorom budemo oslobođeni od svih opasnosti tijela i duše. Ne dopusti da u patnji budemo ljuti, nego čvrsti, strpljivi, ustrajni i puni pouzdanja. Amen. Zdravo, Marijo... Zaziv Djevici U tebe se, Gospo, uzdam zbog veličine milosrđa tvoga imena. Smiluj nam se, smiluj nam se, jer si ti nada i svjetlost onima koji se u te uzdaju. Spomeni se nas izgubljenih, usliši naš plač i uzdahe. O, Djevice, pruži ruke svoje i priskoči u pomoć onima koji su u pogibelji. Zbog milosti imena svoga ne kasni, budi mi radost i spasenje. Tvoj sam i sve moje je tvoje, stavit ću te kao pečat na srce svoje. Izbavi me u zlokobnom trenutku, i u času moje smrti ne zaboravi dušu moju. Dovedi me u mjesto spasenja, neka moje ime bude upisano među pravednicima. Doista, kada tebe gledam, Majko, vidim samo milosrđe. Ti si zbog grešnika postala Majkom Božjom i rodila Sina svoga, Milosrđe. Ti vidiš kako smo mi puni gorčine, pod grijehom uzdišemo te pritiješnjeni tugom i nevoljama plačemo, u suznoj dolini prebivamo. Preobrazi našu žalost u radost, nevolju u veselje. Amen. Zdravo, Marijo... Prošnje Bog je htio da Marija, majka Kristova, bude uzvišena nad sva stvorenja nebeska i zemaljska. Molimo ga: Dobri Oče, zahvaljujemo ti što si nam Mariju dao za majku i uzor: njezinim nas zagovorom posveti, molimo te. Učinio si da Marija bude pozorna na tvoju riječ i da ti bude vjerna službenica: njezinim nam zagovorom udijeli plodove Duha Svetoga, molimo te. Ojačao si Mariju kad je stajala pod križem, a o uskrsnuću svoga Sina ispunio si je radošću: po njezinu zagovoru, olakšaj nam muke i učvrsti nadu, molimo te. Kriste, pravi trse, čije smo mi loze: daj da u tebi ostanemo, obilan rod donesemo i Boga Oca proslavimo, molimo te. Oče naš… Molitva Bože, izvore i počelo našeg spasenja, daj da vazda u svom životu ispovijedamo tvoju slavu, a u nebu da te nikad ne prestanemo slaviti. Amen. Pod obranu se tvoju utječemo... TREĆI DAN Ko sjajna zora jutarnja,* ko žarko sunce podnevno, Ko mjesec divan Marija* uznesena je u nebo. Na prijestol slave nebeske,* gle danas sjeda kraljica Što svijetu Čedo porodi* i sina svog i Boga svog. O, ženo nad sve blažena,* nad anđele i svete sve, Čuj svega svijeta poklike* i anđeoskih korova! Kog krilo tvoje krilo je,* kog položi u jaslice, Ko kralja svega stvorenog* u slavi motriš Očevoj. O sveta Djevo djevica,* svog Sina moli za sve nas: On našu bijedu preuze,* nek’ nebo s nama podijeli. Vijek hvala Ocu i Sinu,* i s njima Duhu Svetomu, Za slavu tvoju nebesku* kom Trojstvo tebe ovjenča. Razmatranje Sveta Marijo, bez grijeha začeta, moli za nas koji se tebi utječemo. Ti si rođena bez grijeha, da srušiš kraljevstvo Sotone. Ti si nam rodila Krista, da ukloni tamu grijeha na ovoj zemlji. Vodi nas svome božanskom Sinu, koji nas je svojom patnjom i smrću spasio. Tvoj Sin, naš Gospodin i Spasitelj, nije donio oslobođenje od križa, nego oslobođenje po križu. On je pobijedio agoniju i smrt na križu. Od tada Križ svijetli kao znak spasenja i vidljivi znak nade u dolini suza. Marijo, vodi nas k svome Sinu, Isusu Kristu, koji je rekao: „Zaista, zaista, kažem vam, ako Oca nešto zamolite u moje ime, dat će vam...”. O, Marijo, utočište grešnika, tješiteljice ugroženih, moli za nevjernike, za one koji u vjeri lutaju, za otpale od vjere, za neprijatelje svete Crkve i za grešnike. Jao onima koji ne daju da grijeh iz njih izađe i koji se ne boje pravednog suda tvoga Sina. Izmoli, o Marijo, svima koje danas na to Bog poziva, milost pokajanja. Amen. Zdravo, Marijo... Molitva zagovora Svete Obitelji za našu obitelj Bože, od kojega dolazi svako očinstvo na nebu i na zemlji. Oče, koji si Ljubav i Život, neka svaka obitelj na zemlji posredstvom tvoga Sina Isusa Krista, “rođena od žene” i posredstvom Duha Svetoga, izvora Božje ljubavi postane istinsko svetište života i ljubavi za nove naraštaje koji se uvijek obnavljaju. Neka tvoja milost vodi misli i djela supruga prema dobru njihovih obitelji i svih obitelji svijeta. Neka mladi naraštaji nađu u obiteljima oslonac za razvoj svoje osobnosti i rast u ljubavi i istini. Neka se ljubav ojačana milošću sakramenta braka pokaže jačom od svake slabosti i krize kroz koje ponekad prolaze naše obitelji. Bože, molimo te, po zagovoru Svete Obitelji iz Nazareta, da Crkva u svim narodima na zemlji može plodno vršiti svoje poslanje u obiteljima i po obiteljima. Ti si Život, Istina i Ljubav, u zajedništvu sa Sinom i Duhom Svetim. Amen. Prošnje Pomolimo se Kristu, koji je radost svih što se u njega uzdaju, i recimo mu zajedno: Daj danas besposlenima rada, gladnima kruha, žalosnima radosti, a svim ljudima milost i spasenje, molimo te. Vjeru, nadu i ljubav svoju, što si nam u srca ulio: trajno čuvaj u nama, molimo te. Potakni srca plemenitih mladića i djevojaka da te slijede u duhovnim zvanjima, molimo te. Svi koji u tvojoj ljubavi preminuše, daj da budu dionici blaženstva s Blaženom Djevicom Marijom i svim svetima tvojim, molimo te. Oče naš… Molitva Bože, svojom si nas milošću posinio da budemo djeca svjetla. Ne daj da nas zahvati tmina zablude, već da uvijek budemo obasjani istinom. Amen. Pod obranu se tvoju utječemo... ZAVRŠNI DIO Posveta Mariji Majko ljudi i naroda, ti koja poznaješ njihove patnje i njihove nade. Ti koja majčinski osjećaš svu borbu između dobra i zla, između svjetla i tame, koja potresa suvremeni svijet, primi naš krik koji, potaknuti Duhom Svetim, upravljamo tvome Srcu: zagrli, ljubavlju Majke i službenice Božje, ovaj naš svijet, koji ti predajemo i posvećujemo, puni nemira za zemaljsku i vječnu sudbinu ljudi i naroda. O, Bezgrešno Srce! Pomozi nam pobijediti prijetnje zla, koje se danas tako lako ukorjenjuje u srca ljudi i koje po svojim neizmjernim učincima već sada otežavaju život, a izgleda kao da priječe put u budućnost. Neka se još jedanput u povijesti svijeta objavi beskrajna spasiteljska moć Otkupljenja, snaga milosrdne Ljubavi! Neka se njom zaustavi zlo! Preobraze savjesti! U tvome bezgrešnom Srcu neka se svima objavi svjetlo Nade! Amen. Na kraju možemo izmoliti: Pod obranu se tvoju utječemo, sveta Bogorodice. Ne odbij nam molbe u potrebama našim, nego nas od svih pogibli uvijek oslobodi, Djevice slavna i blagoslovljena. Gospođo naša, posrednice naša, zagovornice naša! Sa svojim nas Sinom pomiri, svojemu nas Sinu preporuči, svojemu nas Sinu izruči. Slava Ocu...
