Wrapping It Up
Takeaway
Peace is one of God’s clearest confirmations of the vocation He wants for you.
The priesthood is a calling to be a spiritual father and to serve the whole community in the person of Christ. -CCC 1591
Trust God
“Peace I leave with you; My peace
I give to you. Not as the world
gives do I give to you.”
– John 14:27
To Pray
*Pick a prayer below. Repeat it each time you do another guide until it’s memorized, then move to the next one.
- + My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love You! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and do not love You.* +Amen.
*God wants YOU (especially children) to help save sinners by praying this prayer every day! In the spring of 1916, God sent the Angel of Peace from Heaven to Fatima, Portugal to teach this powerful prayer to the whole world through 3 children – Lucia age 9, Francisco age 7, and Jacinta 6. This prayer repairs damage caused by people’s sins, draws them back to God, and brings peace to the world! God wants YOU to take part in His work to save sinners. He made it so simple that everyone everywhere can pray this prayer frequently! In Heaven, you’ll see how many people you helped save!
- + Most Holy Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, truly present in all the tabernacles of the world in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and The Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.* +Amen.
*God wants YOU (especially children) to pray this 2nd prayer to help save sinners! In August of 1916, God again sent the Angel of Peace from Heaven to Fatima, Portugal to teach this 2nd prayer to the world through Lucia – now 10, Francisco – now 8, and Jacinta – still 6. This prayer also repairs the damage caused by people’s sins and helps convert poor sinners! God really wants children and adults to join Him in saving others through this prayer.
On July 6, 1973, Our Lady appeared in Akita, Japan and asked that the expression ‘truly present’ be used to emphasize that Jesus is really and truly present in the Eucharist!
- + May the power of Your love, O Lord, fiery and sweet as honey, absorb my heart and withdraw it from all under Heaven. Grant that I may be ready to die for love of Your love, just as You, who are so good, died for love of my love. All high and glorious God, ignite my heart, give me a right faith, a sure hope, a perfect charity, a profound humility, the will and intelligence to know and fulfill Your holy will.* +Amen.
*Why memorize & pray this prayer? The more our love for God grows, the happier we will be on earth and in Heaven! Loving God with all our heart is the first and greatest commandment. -Deut 6:5
