Title: Our Lady's words at Fatima Post by: Brigid on October 07, 2010, 03:37:06 PM More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.
Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Divine Lord very much. Children, always say the rosary with devotion. Sacrifice yourselves for sinners and say many times, especially when you make some sacrifice: `O Jesus, it is for Thy love, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. You see Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them God wishes to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If they do what I will tell you, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace... But if they do not stop offending God... He is going to punish the world for its crimes by means of war, of hunger, and of persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father. Title: Re: Our Lady's words at Fatima Post by: Shin on October 07, 2010, 04:13:51 PM How many times Our Blessed Mother has told us to pray the rosary, pray the rosary, pray the rosary..!
God help us to pray the rosary and pray it well! O Blessed Mother, teach us how to pray! Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue Lovely Lady dressed in blue- Teach me how to pray! God was just your little boy, Tell me what to say! Did you lift Him up, sometimes, Gently on your knee? Did you sing to Him the way Mother does to me? Did you hold His hand at night? Did you ever try Telling stories of the world? O! And did He cry? Do you really think He cares If I tell Him things- Little things that happen? And Do the Angels' wings Make a noise? And can He hear Me if I speak low? Does He understand me now? Tell me- for you know? Lovely Lady dressed in blue- Teach me how to pray! God was just your little boy, And you know the way.

"When St. Alphonsus of Liguori was already old, sick, and in a wheelchair, a lay brother used to wheel him around the cloister of his monastery in the evening so he could take some fresh air. Engaging the brother in conversation, St. Alphonsus asked him: “Did you pray your rosary today?” “I don’t remember,” the brother answered, “Then, let us pray it now,” the Saint said. “But you are already so tired. What difference does it make if we don’t pray the rosary for one day?” protested the brother. St. Alphonsus answered: “If I did not pray my rosary for even one day, I would fear for my eternal salvation.” This is what a Saint said." Title: Re: Our Lady's words at Fatima Post by: Patricia on October 07, 2010, 09:14:38 PM Martin, I love the little poem 'Lovely Lady dressed in blue'. I'll email it to my aunt who is wandering away from the faith. Should touch her heart. She used to be very devoted to Our Lady. :(
Shin, I've read this incident before in St. Liguori's life. :) Title: Re: Our Lady's words at Fatima Post by: Brigid on October 10, 2010, 05:07:52 PM "Do not be afraid, I will not harm you."
"Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the conversion of sinners? Then you are going to have much to suffer, but the grace of God will be your comfort." "No, my daughter. Are you suffering a great deal? Don't lose heart. I will never forsake you. My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God." "Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners; for many souls go to hell, because there are none to sacrifice themselves and pray for them." "My daughter, look at My Heart surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console me, and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with all the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months go to confession and receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me." Lucia made some requests, being informed that people must amend their lives and ask forgiveness of their sins if they wanted healings or conversions. "Do not offend the Lord our God any more, because He is already so much offended."

Quote "Pray, pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners; for many souls go to hell, because there are none to sacrifice themselves and pray for them." These words make me realize how much we can do to help Our Lady save more souls.. Our Lady, Refuge of sinners, ora pro nobis. |
