Saint Therese, Mother Teresa, Saint
Michael the Archangel, Saint Pio of Pietrelcina When the soul grieves and is afraid of offending God, it does not offend Him and is very far from committing sin. Divine grace is with you continually and you are very dear to the Lord. Shadows and fears and convictions to the contrary are diabolical stratagems that you should despise in the name of Jesus. Do not listen to these temptations. The spirit of evil is busily engaged in trying to make you believe that your past life has been all strewn with sins. Listen, rather, to me when I tell you, just as we are told by the Spouse of our souls, that your present state is an effect of your love for God and a proof of his in comparable love for you. Cast away those fears, dispel those shadows that the devil is increasing in your soul in order to torment you and drive you away, if possible, even from daily Communion... Never fall back on yourself alone, but place all your trust in God and don't be too eager to be set free from your present state. Let the Holy Spirit act within you. Give your self up to all his transports and have no fear. He is so wise and gentle and discreet that He never brings about anything but good. How good this Holy Spirit, this Comforter, is to all, but how supremely good He is to those who seek Him! ~Saint Pio of Pietrelcina |

Scapular~
Our Lady of Mount Carmel PROMISE: "This shall be to you and all Carmelites a privilege, that anyone who dies clothed in this shall not suffer eternal fire; and if wearing it they die, they shall be saved." During the last Fatima apparition (Oct. 13, 1917), the Blessed Mother held in her hand a Brown Scapular while she presented herself as Our Lady of Mount Carmel. When asked why Our Lady held it, Sr. Lucia answered, " ... because she wants everyone to wear the scapular... because it is our sign of consecration to her Immaculate Heart." |

| The
Holy Rosary~ "If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.' Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practice black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner of later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul., if - and mark well what I say -if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins." ~Saint Louis De Montfort The Secret of the Rosary (p. 12) |
