SACRIFICE PRAYER
Sacrifices -- A great
"secret" of converting sinners is to make sacrifices for them, as
well as to pray for them. Our Lady Of Fatima said: "Many souls go to Hell
because there are none to sacrifice themselves and to pray for them," And
the holy Cure of Ars said that the conversion of sinners "begins with prayer
and ends with penance."
But whereas
"penance" and "sacrifice" sound frightening to some people
and we may not like these words, yet they are the key to obtaining Heaven for
poor sinners. If we are frightened of penance, we can begin by making one
little sacrifice per day-----perhaps eating something we do not like, or
drinking water instead of pop, or making ourselves wait a half hour or so to
take a drink when we are thirsty. These are little forms of
"fasting". Some sacrifices we are obliged to make anyway, but we can
offer them for sinners: examples of these are being patient with a trying
person or turning off an immodest TV, program. These sacrifices will be
presents for Our Lady, the precious coin she can use to buy back souls that are
headed for Hell.
It seems that God loves to "delegate" His work, He has given
it to us to be the "secondary" causes of His work, including the
salvation of our "brother" and our "neighbor." And though
His Blood poured out on Calvary was sufficient to save all souls, He requires
that we, the living branches on Him, the Vine, ask for and even
"activate" its application to those souls by our prayers and our
sacrifices.
At Fatima both the Angel and Our Lady asked for sacrifices for sinners.
They said, "Sacrifice yourself." This is done largely by generously
making individual sacrifices.
The Angel of Fatima, too, told the three children to
"Offer prayers and sacrifices constantly to the Most High . . . Make of
everything you can a sacrifice, and offer it to God as an act of reparation for
the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of
sinners . . . Above all, accept and bear with submission the sufferings which
the Lord will send you."
If Our Lady and the Angel ask for prayers and sacrifices for the
conversion of sinners, this means that they actually intend to save sinners if
prayers and sacrifices are offered up. We must therefore send these up with
confidence in Our Lady's intention and power to save the dying. After receiving
the above-mentioned message of the Angel, the children were given to understand
"how pleasing it [sacrifice] is to Him and how, on account of it, He
grants the grace of conversion to sinners." It does work! This is the true
recipe for saving souls, even those who are dying and have very little time
left.
OUR LADY
OF FATIMA SAID: SACRIFICE YOURSELVES FOR SINNERS AND SAY MANY TIMES, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU MAKE SOME SACRIFICE:
O JESUS, it is for love of Thee,
for the conversion of sinners,
and in reparation for the sins
committed against
the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
DECADE PRAYER
(To be said after the Glory Be at the end of each decade of the Rosary)
O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of Hell,
lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy.
ANGEL'S PRAYER
(Given to the three children by the Angel who
preceded Our Lady's
first appearance to them.)
MOST Holy Trinity, Father, Son, a
nd Holy Spirit, I adore Thee
profoundly.
I offer Thee the Most Precious
Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity
of Jesus Christ, present in all
the tabernacles of the world,
in reparation for the outrages,
sacrileges, and indifference
by which He is offended. And through the infinite merit
of His Most Sacred Heart, and
the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I beg of Thee the conversion of
poor sinners.
