Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children, also today, in a special way, I invite you in this time of grace to open your souls to the Holy Spirit. Dear children, do not permit the world to lead you. Therefore, may the Holy Spirit lead you. Pray, persevere in prayer, that the Holy Spirit may descend upon your families who are in darkness. The mother prays together with you, intercedes before her son for you. Thank you, dear children, for responding to my call today." (Message given through Ivan on May 20, 2013, on Apparition Hill with his prayer group)
Mother Mary is serious
about one thing above all else. She is serious about prayer. She
directs and redirects us over and over again to persevere in prayer.
Prayer is her "secret" weapon. Of course prayer is not secret. But, in
our world today, prayer is all but forgotten. And even we, who have
heard her call, can forget to pray as we get busier and busier in our
day to day lives.
In this message Our
Lady gives us a really good reason for persevering in prayer, the good
of our families. She tells us some of our family members are in
darkness. "Pray, persevere in prayer, that the Holy Spirit may descend upon your families who are in darkness." Without
judging anyone in our families, we can assume that the darkness of this
world is attempting to surround and swallow up our family members.
There is darkness in our family histories, darkness in the present
family line, and there will be darkness in the future generations if we
do not pray with energy and commitment for them all. Through our prayer,
the Holy Spirit will be able to descend on our ancestors, the present
family members, and the future family tree. He will bring with Him, the
Light of Truth, so that our families will be founded on the Truth of
Faith.
This is a wonderful
work of mercy that we can do for our families. We can pray for our
families, generously and without stint. One day, they will know the
effects of our prayer, no matter how hidden it is now. What joy there
will be in heaven, when we will all be joined together for eternity, due
to our faithfulness to prayer!!
Fr. John Hampsch
C.M.F. has written a beautiful prayer for family healing which I want to
share with all of you today. We pray this prayer every day at the end
of our Daily Rosary, on line. It is powerful. I have seen the good
effects of this prayer personally. Maybe you will find it helpful as
well.
PRAYER FOR HEALING THE FAMILY TREE
REV. JOHN H. HAMPSCH, C.M.F.
Heavenly
Father, I come before you as your child, in great need of your help; I
have physical health needs, emotional needs, spiritual needs, and
interpersonal needs. Many of my problems have been caused by my own
failures, neglect and sinfulness, for which I humbly beg your
forgiveness, Lord. But I also ask you to forgive the sins of my
ancestors whose failures have left their effects on me in the form of
unwanted tendencies, behavior patterns and defects in body, mind and
spirit. Heal me, Lord, of all these disorders.
With
your help I sincerely forgive everyone, especially living or dead
members of my family tree, who have directly offended me or my loved
ones in any way, or those whose sins have resulted in our present
sufferings and disorders. In the name of your divine Son, Jesus, and in
the power of his Holy Spirit, I ask you, Father, to deliver me and my
entire family tree from the influence of the evil one. Free all living
and dead members of my family tree, including those in adoptive
relationships, and those in extended family relationships, from every
contaminating form of bondage. By your loving concern for us, heavenly
Father, and by the shed blood of your precious Son, Jesus, I beg you to
extend your blessing to me and to all my living and deceased relatives.
Heal every negative effect transmitted through all past generations, and
prevent such negative effects in future generations of my family tree.
I
symbolically place the cross of Jesus over the head of each person in my
family tree, and between each generation; I ask you to let the
cleansing blood of Jesus purify the bloodlines in my family lineage. Set
your protective angels to encamp around us, and permit Archangel
Raphael, the patron of healing, to administer your divine healing power
to all of us, even in areas of genetic disability. Give special power to
our family members' guardian angels to heal, protect, guide and
encourage each of us in all our needs. Let your healing power be
released at this very moment, and let it continue as long as your
sovereignty permits.
In
our family tree, Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding in family
love. And let there be an ever-deeper bonding with you, Lord, by the
Holy Spirit, to your Son, Jesus. Let the family of the Holy Trinity
pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence, so that our
family may recognize and manifest that love in all our relationships.
All of our unknown needs we include with this petition that we pray in
Jesus' precious Name. Amen.
St. Joseph, Patron of family life, pray for us. Our Lady Queen of Peace, pray for us.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
