Everything
Done in the Name of Jesus
The greatest blessing for a Daily Apostle is to encounter Almighty God within
the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As you celebrate Christmas 365 days a year
God’s peace and joy permeates your soul. When we come to Holy Mass, we come to
Bethlehem, for the Holy Eucharist is the continuation of Christ’s Incarnation on
earth.
St. Thomas Aquinas writes of the Holy Eucharist: "[Jesus] keeps nothing
back. He places all the riches of His love into the sacramental gift. In this
gift He presents to us all the love of His Incarnation, all the merits of His
life and His works, the entire price of Redemption.” "The Eucharist is the
consummation of the whole spiritual life."
“And whatever
you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:17) Rejoice always in the
Living Triune God!
“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just
as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have
told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.
This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love
than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you
do what I command you.” (John 15:9-14)
God’s Heart is eternally aflame with love for each one of us.
The Divine Messiah plainly makes Himself
known as you intimately live the Sacramental Life in Sanctifying Grace. This is
eternal bliss.
The Lord Jesus Christ has brought the Ark of
the Covenant to us through every Tabernacle throughout the world. By residing
there as the Living Presence of God; Jesus creates through Holy Communion the
Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. The burning candle lamp indicates our
Eucharistic Lord Jesus’ perpetual existence.
As the Blessed Virgin Mother through faith became
the Living Tabernacle of God so to Jesus promised He would remain always with us
under the presence of bread and wine unto the salvation of all mankind. Christ’s
commitment to never leave us or forsake us is blended with the continued
consolation of His Mother who has promised that through the praying of her Holy
Rosary (the life of Christ) that no request would go
unanswered.
United in prayer and purpose Jesus and Mary
become one through the purity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary with the divinity
of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ultimately they lead Daily Apostles into complete
union with the Holy Spirit who is continuously working to bring each soul into
the Father’s Will through a continuous fountain of grace which unites the
Blessed Mother, God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit into perfect
oneness.
Being complete in Him,
each Apostle is able to achieve the Kingdom of God within and the divine purpose
for their life. “I will give thanks to you O Lord, with all my heart; telling
all your marvelous works. I will exult and be glad in you, and sing praise to
your name Most High.” (Psalm 9: 2-3)
After Holy Communion: “I suddenly saw the Infant Jesus standing by
my kneeler and holding on to it with His two little hands. Although He was but a
little Child, my soul was filled with awe and fear, for I see in Him my Judge,
my Lord, and my Creator, before whose holiness the Angels tremble.” –St. Maria
Faustina Kowalska
Unite your
heart to Divine Love in every present moment to: become a saint, overcome
obstacles, lift others’ burdens, save souls, pray and sacrifice for the
conversion of the world, assist those in error and with grave matters, show
mercy, forgiveness, be the best you can be, choose for the Risen Jesus by doing
the Father’s Divine Will. Surrender to the tranquility of the Blessed Mother’s
heart. The person who does lives the New Jerusalem as the bride of the Lamb.
Jesus calls each of us by name – and when we exist for the praise of His glory
-- our world will be at peace. The victorious Christian enjoys
divine affiliation
by adoption to the Father through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
The
15 Promises for those who recite the Rosary
The following are the 15
promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:
(given to
St. Dominic and Blessed Alan)
1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation
of the rosary, shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest
graces to all those who shall recite the rosary.
3. The rosary will be a powerful armor against hell. It
will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it
will obtain for souls the
abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the
hearts of men from the love of the world and its
vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal
things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by
this means.
5. Those who recommend themselves to me by the
recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the rosary devoutly, applying
himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries
shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not
chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an
unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the
grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the rosary
shall not die without the
sacraments
of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the rosary shall
have during their life and at their death, the light of
God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of
death they shall participate in the merits of the saints
in paradise.
9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been
devoted to the rosary.
10. The faithful children of the rosary shall merit a
high degree of glory in heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation
of the rosary.
12. All those who propagate the
holy rosary shall be aided by me in their
necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the
advocates of the rosary shall have for intercessors the
entire celestial court during their life and at the hour
of death.
14. All who recite the rosary are my sons, and brothers
of my only son, Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion to my rosary is a great sign of
predestination.
