If you google the Flame of Love try find the prayer to blind Satan and say it often during the day. I don’t know how to put it on here but I would say it a lot and the Rosary. I prayed for you today Sanctus and will continue to keep you in my prayers. It starts My Adorable Jesus May our feet journey together Etc
You are welcome. I would get ill just thinking like that. Trust in Him, not in yourself. I'm starting to learn that. I waste time worrying when I can enjoy something more. Much love
It is the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. It is the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. It is the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. It is the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony!!!
And yet on the set of The Passion there were conversions. Jim Caviezel endured incredible suffering and hardship making the film. Jesus spoke to him and literally asked him "how much of ME do you want them to see?" And Jim said " everything. " and Jesus took over. It's a powerful witness. At one point as the actor was carrying the cross and his shoulder was dislocated the devil hissed at him " you are a dead man!" But Caviezel said "good. I will be with the Lord!" And kept going. He did almost die. His heart was under terrible strain. He had two or three surgeries as a result. Look at the back lash that film suffered. It was clearly meant to be made. A channel of great grace for the world. The actor who played Judas was an atheist and he was totally converted! Just one example.
I have to watch it again. Perhaps I can get my wife to join me in watching it on Good Friday. It wouldn't be suitable for the kids so we would have to find a family to babysit - most of our friends have kids, too.
I think the people involved in, 'The Passion of the Christ's, did a lot of prayer. My favourite story is from the BBC when they filmed at Mother Teresa's home for the dying in Calcutta.It was a former Hindu Temple and very dark inside.The camera man told Malcolm Muggeridge a famous writer, philosopher and atheist that it was impossible to film but they went ahead anyway. The film came out perfectly. The camera man said it was a total miracle and Malcolm Muggeridge converted.
Thanks Roryrory. I must look for that prayer. I have also decided to include the Litany of Our Lady in daily prayers. Have found saying it very helpful.
I pray the rosary every morning with the Flame of Love invocation to blind Satan. Say the Holy Mary as follows Holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinners, spread effect of the grace of thy Flame of Love over all humanity now and at the Hour of our death Amen. Also good to make some sacrifice for that intention. I will continue to keep you in my rosary.
I feel a terrible darkness around me and feel God is angry with me. I keep praying. I've been to confession over and over again but still feel I am damned. I hope this darkness lifts. I'm starting a college course tomorrow which should help me keep busy but I feel Gods anger which isn't nice. I'm sorry for posting about this again but I don't know what to do at the moment with the horrible darkness I am experiencing. I've been experiencing this darkness for the past 4 years which is very difficult. Saint Faustina said the greater the sinner the greater the mercy but I don't feel mercy at all. I'll keep praying and surrendering. That's all I can do at the moment.
The thoughts and feelings aren't true. Don't believe them, don't engage them, keep turning your attention to a verse of Jesus that speaks to you. Then repeat it through the day. I am praying for you.
Maybe it's all He's asking of you at this moment~ An Ave for relief and prayers for a successful day tomorrow ~ O my God! Source of all mercy! I acknowledge Your sovereign power. While recalling the wasted years that are past, I believe that You, Lord, can in an instant turn this loss to gain. Miserable as I am, yet I firmly believe that You can do all things. Please restore to me the time lost, giving me Your grace, both now and in the future, that I may appear before You in “wedding garments.” Amen. ~Saint Teresa of Avila
I sometimes am approached for advice. I am no priest, but in most any situation concerning sin, and to any who ask a related question, I would generally say the following: You seem to me to be making an image like the pagan god, Zeus, throwing his lightning bolts at you in angry judgment! That is not our Heavenly Father. If we are honest, venial sin wounds our relationship with God, while mortal sin severs our relationship. But the severing, real as it may be, is something we choose to do, not God. In His justice God acknowledges that separation, but you and I are the instigators of our own sin and likewise the instigator of our separation from God. What God requires of you and me is sorrow for grieving His Heart and the resolve to avoid sin, especially mortal sin: I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and avoid the near occasions of sin. You and I will fall again in our lives for we are not the Immaculate Virgin. But, let us not, no matter what we feel, make our Merciful Lord out to be a Zeus. Such a conviction or image comes from the devil. If you need to repent, go to Confession. But we must speak truth to ourselves, so that the devil cannot induce in us a feeling of hopelessness. Remember. The devil is the hopeless one. Hell is already his forever abode. Love you, Peter.
