“I never in my life have prayed for a person so much as I pray for Pope Francis.” Bishop Athanasius Schneider - Christus Vincit Christ’s Triumph over the Darkness of the Age.
Every morning Saint Francis de Sales recommends meditating on this:
God had no need for you, yet He made you
He made you out of nothing
He did not need you, and you do not add to Him
Yet out of nothing, He made you solely out of Love.
Consider also the times you’ve betrayed God, but specifically how He brought you back when you repented…
Likewise, you betrayed God, but He brought you back
He had no need to bring you back, but He did.
Solely out of His immense love for you, and you in particular
Remember that God loves you.
Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we renew our pledge of love and loyalty to You.
Keep us always close to Your loving Heart and to the most pure Heart of Your Mother.
May we love one another more and more each day, forgiving each other’s faults as You forgive our sins.
Teach us how to see You in those we meet outside our home.
Please help us keep our love for you always strong by frequent Mass and Communion.
Thank You, dear Jesus, King and Friend of our family, for all the blessings of today.
Protect us during this night.
Help us all to get to Heaven!
Amen

"When a person dies, they do not go straight to heaven, unless they are Saints on Earth. You are doing a great evil to your loved ones, if you don't pray for them. Do not say, my relative is in heaven now! No they are not. If they are Catholic and died with confession they went to Purgatory. It is your obligation to make sure that person receives the last Sacraments, and your obligation if you truly love them, to pray so they may get out of the fires of Purgatory soon. A Holy Mass once a year, it's cruel! Once a month is not any better. Think of your time, how will you like people to pray for you. Remember one second in Purgatory feels like years. Pray and say many Masses for your loved ones. No One goes to heaven not pure.
"I come to tell you that they suffer in Purgatory, that they weep, and that they demand with urgent cries the help of your prayers and your good works. I seem to hear them crying from the depths of those fires which devour them: 'Tell our loved ones, tell our children, tell all our relatives how great the evils are which they are making us suffer. We throw ourselves at their feet to implore the help of their prayers. Ah! Tell them that since we have been separated from them, we have been here burning in the flames!'
- Saint John Vianney
The Church has always taught that nothing impure enters Heaven, and most souls must first be purified in Purgatory. When we assume the dead no longer need our prayers, we may actually be abandoning them in their suffering.
The Holy Souls in Purgatory cannot help themselves anymore, they depend on our prayers, sacrifices, and especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. To offer only one Mass a year, or to forget them completely, is a terrible neglect of charity toward those we claim to love.
Saint John Vianney warned that the souls in Purgatory cry out for help: they beg their families, their children, and their friends to pray for them so that they may finally enter Heaven.
If you truly love your departed family members, pray for them, offer Masses for them, and never stop remembering them.
St. John Vianney, pray for us.
Baby José was born with a limb disability
He struggled to do simple tasks like eat
Most people would have aborted José, calling him “inconvenient”
Instead of giving up on him, his father kept encouraging him to feed himself—defying the odds.
Every child is worth fighting for
Casarse en un notario es una cosa ridícula, triste, impostada, vacía y de plástico. Lo mismo que tener un funeral laico, enterrarse en un cementerio civil o "jurar por la Constitución". Larpeo y copeo del malo a niveles estratosféricos.
