Love this

The Miracle Prayer Lord, Jesus, I come before You, just as I am. I am sorry for my sins, I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In Your name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give You my entire self. Lord Jesus, now and forever, I invite You into my life Jesus. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul, and spirit. Come Lord Jesus, cover me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit, I love You, Jesus. I praise You, Jesus. I thank You, Jesus. I shall follow You every day of my life. Amen.

She had no education, no influence, and no ambition. She spent her life scrubbing floors in a French convent and asking for nothing. So why, more than a century after her death, are people still praying what she was given? The answer is in a single sentence. But you won't fully understand it until the end. In the late 1800s, a humble Visitation nun named Sister Mary Martha Chambon lived in Chambéry, France. She came from a poor family and had very little education. She scrubbed floors, followed the rule of her convent, and lived a quiet hidden life that most people would never notice. During her religious life, Sister Mary Martha reported receiving private revelations centered on the Holy Wounds of Jesus. Church authorities examined these reports, and devotion to the Holy Wounds gradually spread among many Catholics as a private devotion. Catholics are free to practice this devotion, though no Catholic is required to believe in private revelations. Jesus reportedly told Sister Mary Martha, “My Wounds will repair yours.” Sit with that for a moment. The focus of the devotion was simple: meditate on Christ’s suffering, trust in His mercy, pray for sinners, and intercede for the souls in Purgatory. Simple does not always mean easy. To truly meditate on the Passion of Christ requires stillness, honesty, and the willingness to face what His love actually cost. What stands out about this devotion is how direct it is. Jesus did not save us in an abstract way. His suffering was real. The scourging, the nails, the thirst, the abandonment, the Cross. These were real wounds endured out of love for humanity and for each one of us personally. In Catholic tradition, the wounds of Christ are not only signs of suffering. They are also signs of victorious love, mercy, and redemption. The Chaplet of the Holy Wounds is prayed on regular rosary beads. One of the main prayers says, “Eternal Father, I offer Thee the wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of our souls.” That prayer speaks to something many people carry quietly. Anxiety. Grief. Old sins. Bitterness. Fear. Loneliness. Wounds that cannot always be seen from the outside. This devotion keeps our attention on the Passion of Christ in a world filled with distraction. It slows us down and reminds us of the price of our redemption and the depth of God’s mercy. Many Catholics also pray this chaplet for the souls in Purgatory, trusting in the infinite value of Christ’s sacrifice and the Communion of Saints. There is something deeply Christian about praying not only for ourselves, but also for souls who can no longer help themselves. Some people think devotions like this are outdated or too focused on suffering. But maybe that reaction says something about our world. Many people today are exhausted, anxious, spiritually numb, and searching for peace in things that do not last. The devotion to the Holy Wounds does not ignore suffering. It brings suffering to Christ. And maybe that is exactly why it has endured for so long. 💬 Have we stopped thinking seriously enough about what Jesus willingly suffered out of love for us?

This picture of our Lady was drawn by a mystic in Italy. Her hand was guided by Our Lady. There is a special blessing given each day to the person who carries it and another blessing given each time one looks at it with love. Important Note: The Church distinguishes between public revelation (Scripture and Apostolic Tradition, which all Catholics are bound to believe) and private revelations or devotional claims. Even when a private devotion is popular, Catholics are not required to believe claims attached to it unless the Church formally approves them. This is a devotional image that has circulated among Catholics for many years with claims that a mystic in Italy drew it under Our Lady’s inspiration.

@RaymondArroyo BTW he did the “Our Father” in Latin as was his blessing. 😊

@RaymondArroyo I was there and our God is an Awesome God. It was a sign that is personal and I won’t go into Miracles happen Raymond. We worship a living God

Is Dancing Queen an appropriate song for a General Papal Audience? Thoughts? (Lord, help me to hold my tongue…)

@SecRubio heard you are coming to Rome. Prayers for a successful visit as we are here too.

What do you think?

UNFUCKINGREAL! Spirit tried to merge with JetBlue to stay alive. Biden’s DOJ sued to kill it in 2024. Now Spirit is belly-up, axing 17,000 jobs and leftists are blaming Trump and the Iran conflict instead. You literally can’t make this shit up. 😂

@Zabayar Or it could be God freeing your people

Luego de que Irán destruyera decenas de radares de EEUU e Israel en la región, en Irán llueve y llueve. En décadas no llovía tanto. La guerra climática contra Irán según alertaba el ex presidente de Irán Ahmadinayad resultó cierta.

@MattGaspers @TaylorRMarshall I wonder how the 42,000 feel about this who died in Iran in the last 2 months from the regime

JUST WAR THEORY: DOES IRAN WAR QUALIFY AS JUST?
