All Souls Home to Heaven

ALL SOULS HOME TO HEAVEN!!!

Do you have a treasure? Someone or something you love and that is never far from your mind or your sight? You don’t have to tell me what it is — keep it for yourself.

Well, God created the world – our physical world that we live in – as His great work of Creation.

“For he set every star in its place and named every one of them,
“And He set His Angels to watch over all.”

And God created Adam and Eve – one man human being and one woman human being. And He set them gently on His brand-new earth and told them that they had to be very careful with the earth because it had to last them a long, long time. And they were.

And God still creates human beings the same way, and human beings still look the same way – one head, two arms, two legs – and they still work the same way. And it still takes one man human being and one woman human being to create one new human being.

And when God creates a human being, He gives each new human being a soul. And souls are not born with religious affiliations, proclivities or aberrations. The soul grows with the human being and gives its body life and when it has finished its time on the earth, it goes straight home to God in His heaven. For a soul naturally follows its Creator.

And it is the soul which answers to Our Lord, Jesus, when it returns to Him at the death of the human being’s body, which remains on the earth. The soul has understanding and free will and we are judged according to the Ten Commandments and how we have obeyed them.

At the Last Judgment, when God will put His world away (and we pray that God will end the world for His reasons and not for anything that we human beings have done to make Him want to end it), the body of every human being from Adam and Eve to the end of time will be reunited with its soul in Heaven. For the body is sacred to God because it housed the soul while the soul was on His earth.

And so, like your treasure, God too has a treasure. And like you, He is never very far from His treasure. And we, the human beings of His creation, are His greatest treasure.

And God created the Angels. And one-third of the Angels told God that they would not obey Him. And God said, “Uh-Uh, not in My Heaven.” And He sent them from His heaven.

And the devil was banished from Heaven with all of the angels who followed him. And where once the angels were so beautiful, they are now ugly – and are blamed for everything that goes wrong in the world. The thing is, have you ever seen a devil or a demon in the world? We only see human beings. And when they are being so difficult and hard to understand, look to the Ten Commandments.

And the thing is that God created Lucifer, or the devil or Satan, or whatever name you may know him by, and if you ask God to hold the devil in His one Hand and you in His other Hand so that you can walk with God in His ways of holiness, He will. Amen.

And it is true that the devil never sleeps, but Heaven is open 24/7.

It is also true that when we live in someone else’s home, or in their state or country, there are usually rules or laws to follow. However, because we live in God’s world, and not He in ours, we must follow His rules, which are The Ten Commandments. The same rules God gave to Moses, which Jesus affirmed when He was on the earth. They’re pretty basic rules and cover everything we do on the earth.

And if a human being creates a rule or law that is contrary to God’s Commandments, then the human being’s law may not be followed. For God is over all and we are in His world and must follow His rules.

And how do we keep the Ten Commandments? We ask Jesus, God’s Son, to help us.

Who is Jesus? Jesus is the baby born to Mary and Joseph at Christmas in a cave in Bethlehem. And He grew to be an adult and He was killed by the people who lived where He did because they did not like Him and would not live with Him. But He rose from the dead and He is still with us and speaks to us from Eternity.

How do we speak to Jesus? With our very best manners, and always, always, always say Please and Thank You. And if you just say His name – Jesus – He will come to you and let you know He is with you.

But the thing is to hear Jesus, your mind must be at quiet and at rest, for He speaks to us in our mind as a human being speaks one to the other. The thing is that we think with the minds of human beings and Jesus has His own way of thinking.

You may remember that the past is done and it cannot be changed or undone and so we must leave it to His mercy – And ask that He use all for His Good. (Why for His Good? Because His is the greater Good.)

And the future we may not know, and must leave it to His Divine Providence.

And that leaves us in the Present Time – which is where Our Lord, Jesus, is. For He is Yahweh – I AM. For He and the Father are as One. And He will speak to you in the quiet of your mind.

And to put your mind at quiet and rest, it might be helpful to note that because the past is done, we don’t have to worry too much about it and the future we may not know, so we don’t have to worry about the future. Which leaves us in the Present Time with Jesus.

It is also helpful to quiet your mind by breathing through your diaphragm (as a singer does), or relaxing your body’s “center,” your tummy, solar plexus region, gut, belly, breadbasket, etc.

Sometimes something will happen in our lives, and our minds become very upset over the event, which becomes a part of the past. And we start to worry about the consequences of what happened, which are in the future. The thing is the event is in the past, and it cannot be changed or undone and we may not know what the consequences of the event will be. So you must quiet your mind and put all of these thoughts to rest so that you may hear Jesus speak to you.

And because we are human beings with our own way of thinking, we may want or expect a certain response from Jesus and become so involved in what we expect to hear, that we cannot hear what He is saying.

Or we may want something so badly, that we think only of what we want, and we cannot hear Jesus’ response.

And since God can do only good, He can create only good.

And when we present our prayers, pleas and petitions to Jesus, ask that He may grant them that they be in accord with His Will and for the salvation of your soul, for He knows what is truly in your heart and what you truly want and need, for He will grant what is asked of Him, and ask that He may use all for His good, for His is the greater good. Amen.

And when we walk along in the world and find that we have taken a wrong turn (too much alcohol, drugs, etc.) and fallen off the road, then God will gently pick us up and gently put us back on the road. And Jesus will walk with us back up the road we walked down, take us to the turning and set us on the right path. And as many times as we fall off the road, so will God gently pick us up and gently put us back on the road. And Jesus will walk with us back up the road we walked down, take us to the turning and set us on the right path. And They will keep us on the right path until the soul goes home to heaven.

Pray for the fallen angels that they may be reunited with God in His heaven and be restored to their beauty and holiness.

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, help us to keep Thy Commandments, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy love and compassion and help. Amen.

EVERY SOUL HOME TO HEAVEN!!!

Letter to Chaplains, Thank You to Blessed Mother Mary and Offering of Our Virginity, Chastity, Purity to God, A Prayer For Those Who Have Died in The Service of Their Country

Letter to Chaplains

Enclosed please find a brochure entitled “All Souls Home to Heaven.” Please forward this work to all the souls who are under your care.

This material is meant for an individual rather than “humanity,” “the world,” and “mankind” generally. The piece was written in response to the question, “How do you touch the heart of every human being?” so that every human being’s soul can go home to heaven from whence it came.

Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

Thank you to Blessed Mother Mary each day for:

1. Saying "Yes" to God when He asked You to become the Mother of His Beloved Son.
2. All of the favors and graces and blessings You have bestowed upon me, most especially for interceding with Your Divine Son on my behalf.
3. Being the wise, wonderful, caring, compassionate Mother, Whom Thou art. Amen.


Offering of Our Virginity, Chastity, Purity to God, Our Father

Dear God, please preserve my virginity, chastity and purity, and He will.  Amen

It does not matter how old, or how young, or whatever age we may be; how used or unused the gift may be; God's gift of our purity, our chastity, our virginity is one of His greatest gifts, that never seems to stop giving.  And so we may ask Him to preserve our gift at any time.

A Prayer for Those Who Have Died in The Service of Their Country

We pray that every human being who served in the service of their country, and who was lost on land, at sea or in the air, may be remembered as a soul returning home to His Heaven, just as Jesus’s soul returned home to His Father’s Heaven when He died on the Cross, and that every soul may be waiting in eternity with Jesus to welcome his or her families and friends Home.  Amen.

Marie-Julie Jahenny, The Breton Stigmatist and "The New Mass"

The following paragraphs are taken from the book Marie-Julie Jahenny, The Breton Stigmatist, written by the Marquis de la Franquerie.  This Edition Copyright © 2007 by:  MMR Publishing, 12922 Olive Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68138.

“On the 27th of November, 1902, and on the 10th of May, 1904, Our Lord and Our Lady announced the “New Mass.” Listen: “I gave you a warning. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake, according to their ideas, and under the influence of the enemy of souls, a Mass that contains words that are odious in My sight.

“When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this second period. . . The first period is (the one) of My Priesthood which exists since Me. The second is (the one) of the persecution when the enemies of the Faith and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second celebration. . . These infamous spirits are those who crucified Me and are awaiting the kingdom of the New Messiah.”
“And Our Lord Adds: “Many of My holy priests will refuse this book sealed with the words of the abyss.” Then sadly: “Unfortunately amongst them are those who will accept, it will be used.”

“When he speaks of ‘inserted sheets,’ in the ‘Book of the Second celebration,’ it seems Our Lord announces even the falsifications or personal wild innovations introduced in the liturgy by so many priests and of their own accord and without any permission from their superiors.”

The book notes that “The supernatural facts concerning Marie-Julie have developed completely. They are genuine. The criterion of sanctity has confirmed that they are of divine origin.”

Suicide -- In Brief, A Prayer for Those Wrongfully Sentenced to Death, Why Do I Go to Church?, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be To The Father, Act of Contrition, The Apostles' Creed, Hail, Holy Queen, The Morning Offering, The Angelus, Regina Caeli

Suicide -- In Brief
Suicide is covered under the Fifth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.”  We are commanded by this Commandment to take proper care of our own life and health.

The thing is if a soul returns to Jesus for judgment at the death of the human being’s body because the human being committed suicide, and because we are judged as to how we have obeyed the Ten Commandments while we were here on the earth, it might be a little difficult to explain to Jesus how we came to be before Him at that point.  Thankfully, because we are still here on the earth, we can give the idea of suicide a little more thought.

A Prayer for Those Wrongfully Sentenced to Death

We pray that all those human beings who are convicted of a crime and wrongfully sentenced to death under a state or country’s death penalty law, may come to know the Human Being called Jesus, Who was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane without legal order or writ, and wrongfully put to death by the civil authorities, and may they be with Him forever in His eternity.  Amen.

Why Do I Go to Church?
I go to Church and to Mass to love, reverence, worship and adore Our Lord, Jesus Christ. I kneel in reverence to Our Lord in His Holy Presence in the Holy Eucharist, in His House − the Tabernacle − and in His holy place, the Church.

Thankfully, the Church which Our Lord established is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. We are all creatures of God, Who made each one of us and in Whose world we live. He does not live in our world. He has given us His rules of the Ten Commandments to live by, which His Son, Our Lord, affirmed while He was here on the earth. Come, let us adore Him.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be To The Father

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Act of Contrition
Oh, my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell.  But most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love.  I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life.  Amen

The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope.  To Thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve.  To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.  Turn then, O Most Gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy towards us and after this, our exile, show unto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.  O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.


The Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all our associates, and in particular for the intentions recommended this month by the Holy Father* and for my particular intentions.

*The intentions recommended by the Holy Father can be found on the website http://www.apostleshipofprayer.org.  If you do not have access to the Holy Father's monthly intentions, then the following may be said:  ". . .and in particular for the intentions recommended this month by the Holy Father, for which I offer Thee these prayers:  one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be, and for my particular intentions."

The Angelus

The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary:
And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.  Hail Mary. . .

Behold the handmaid of the Lord:
Be it done unto me according to Thy word.  Hail Mary. . .

And the Word was made flesh:
and dwelt among us.  Hail Mary. . .

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Regina Caeli
(During the Easter Season, from Easter to Pentecost, this prayer replaces the Angelus.)

Queen of Heaven rejoice, alleluia:  For He whom You merited to bear, alleluia, Has risen, as He said, alleluia:  Pray for us to God, alleluia.
          V.  Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
          R.  Because the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.

Let us pray.
O God, by the resurrection of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, You have willed to make glad the whole world.  Grant, we beseech You, that through His Mother, the Virgin Mary, we may lay hold of the joys of eternal life.  We ask this through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Jesus, this hour I give to Thee for the sinners, the human beings, of the whole world

Where they may be with Thee in Eternity forever and ever.  Amen
Heart of Jesus, once in agony, have mercy on the dying.

O Gentlest Heart of Jesus

O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor suffering souls in purgatory and hell, have mercy on the soul(s) of Thy departed servant(s), [mention names of departed servant(s)].

Amen.

And may the departed souls of every human being from Adam and Eve to the present time, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

The Triune God, St. Joseph Prayer, Prayer to St. Joseph by Pope St. Pius X, Prayer to St. Joseph in a Difficult Problem, Prayer for African-Americans, Good Advice

The Triune God
We have a Triune God:
God the Father, Who is over all, and Who is the Creator of Heaven and earth and of all things;
and Who will give you your Prayer Clothes, and Who will take you by the hand, sit you down and tell you every sin you have ever committed;
God the Son, Who is Jesus of Nazareth; and
God, the Holy Spirit, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son and Who comes in the form of a dove.

St. Joseph Prayer
(Over 1900 Years Old)

St. Joseph, great protector
Who stands before the throne of God,
I rest my hope in your intercession.

Help me gain the blessings of your Son
So that I may give more perfect thanks
To our most loving Father.

St. Joseph, I see the Christ child,
Asleep in your arms.

I dare not approach
While he sleeps near your heart.

Hug him and kiss his fine head for me.

Ask him to return this kiss to me
When I draw my dying breath.

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls,
pray for us.

Prayer to St. Joseph by Pope St. Pius X

O Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my inclinations; to gratefully and joyously deem it an honor to employ and to develop by labor the gifts I have received from God, to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty to work; above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes death and the account I have to render of time lost, talents unused, good not done, and vain complacency in success, so baneful to the work of God.  All for Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee, O Patriarch St. Joseph!  This shall be my motto for life and eternity.  Amen.  (Indulgence, 500 days.)


A Prayer to St. Joseph, Virgin-Father of Jesus
PRAYER IN A DIFFICULT PROBLEM

            O Glorious St. Joseph, thou who has power to render possible even things which are considered impossible, come to our aid in our present trouble and distress.  Take this important and difficult affair under thy particular protection, that it may end happily.  (Name your request.)



            O dear St. Joseph, all our confidence is in thee.  Let it not be said that we would invoke thee in vain; and since thou art so powerful with Jesus and Mary, show that thy goodness equals thy power.  Amen.



            St. Joseph, friend of the Sacred Heart, pray for us.

PRAYER FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS
We pray that all those African-Americans who were so wrongfully hung from the wood of the tree may come to know Jesus, Who was so wrongfully hung from the wood of the cross, and may they share in His resurrection. Amen.

Good Advice

Leave the past to His Mercy.

Leave the future to His Divine Providence,

And be in the gift of His present.

Always ask Our Lord to use all things for His good, for His is the greater good (especially when everything seems to be wrong, is going wrong, or is wrong).

Always remember to say "Please" and "Thank you" to God for favors and graces given.

Letters to a Bishop

In February 2010, I attended weekday Mass at a local parish church. While attending Mass, I experienced a problem with the parish priest and communicated with the bishop regarding the problem. However, in my letter, I addressed only part of the problem and the Bishop, in reply, addressed only part of the problem, which involved the practice of kneeling to receive Holy Communion. I noted in my communication that it would be helpful to have kneelers at the altar steps so that communicants could receive the Holy Eucharist while kneeling as Pope Benedict XVI does.

The Bishop wrote: “Kneeling to receive Holy Communion is an option (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 160-161; Redemptionis Sacramentum, 91) but the rule in the United States is that the assembly comes forward in a processional line to receive the Eucharist and that each individual makes a gesture of reverence, i.e., a bow or genuflection before receiving the Body and Blood of Christ. Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, distributes the Eucharist with a kneeler before him so that each individual may kneel to receive Holy Communion. Recall that when the Holy Father distributes Holy Communion, the whole world is literally watching and so he emphasizes the great reverence and dignity that everyone should have in his or her heart when they approach to receive the Lord in Holy Communion in this way.”

I responded to the Bishop: Thank you for your letter. Please understand that I attend Mass to love, reverence, worship and adore Our Lord, Jesus Christ. One morning at Mass at a local parish church, while kneeling to receive Our Lord in Holy Communion, I suddenly fell to the floor. I don’t know why this happened, but it did. The parish priest, after placing a piece of the Host he had consecrated during Mass in my mouth, grabbed me by my upper arm, lifted me up and told me to “stand when receiving.” I repeat – I kneel in reverence to Our Lord and His Holy Presence in the Holy Eucharist, in His House and in His Church. Thankfully, the Church which Our Lord established is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. We are all creatures of God, Who made each one of us and in Whose world we live. He does not live in our world. He has given us His rules of the Ten Commandments to live by, which His Son, Our Lord, affirmed while He was here on the earth.
