Prophetess Tanya S. Manada  

Chapter 1 of the Gospel of John reveals John the Baptist as a major player in the greatest story in history. But his cousin, Jesus Christ is the real star and John the Baptist knows it.

Repentance of sins and receiving the body and blood of Christ our Lord.

Prayer Before a Crucifix

BEHOLD, O good and sweetest Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee to impress upon my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, with true repentance for my sins and a most firm desire of amendment: whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I consider within myself and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds, having before mine eyes that which David, the prophet, long ago spoke in Thine Own person concerning Thee, my Jesus: They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones [Psalm 21, 17, 18].

THE OUR FATHER

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be
Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done,
on earth, as it is in Heave. Give us this day our
daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

THE HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.THE GLORY BE

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

THE APOSTLES' CREED

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come
to judge the living and the dead.
 I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,
the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.


ACT OF FAITH

O MY GOD, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in Three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I believe that Thy Divine Son became Man, and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived.

ACT OF HOPE

O MY GOD, relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and Life Everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

ACT OF LOVE

O MY GOD, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all-good and worthy of all love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

DAILY OFFERING

O my God, I offer Thee through the Immaculate Heart
of Mary, all my thoughts, words, actions, and sufferings of this day, to please Thee, to honor Thee, and to make up
for my sins.

Sweet Mother Mary, keep me in thy care.

O VIRGIN

O Virgin Mother Mary,
help me to Heaven above.
Mother of Jesus,
keep me always as thy loving child.

ANIMA CHRISTI

Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
Body of Christ, save me;
Blood of Christ, inebriate me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
Within Thy Wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend me;
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come to Thee
That with Thy Saints I may praise Thee
For ever and ever.

Partial Indulgence.

Reflections after Holy Communion

Call to mind frequently during the day that you received Jesus, Truly Present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament and say to yourself; "this morning Jesus Christ, the Son of God, gave Himself to me, came to dwell within me."

Remember that your tongue has received Jesus, that it has touched His Sacred Body under the form of the Host. Recall this thought to mind when you are tempted to speak impatiently, or so as to offend or injure your neighbor, which surely ought to keep you from offending Jesus with the very tongue that has been sanctified by the touch of His Sacred Flesh.

IN RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION

(1) In going to the altar-rail, and returning to your place, keep your hands joined, your eyes cast down, and your thoughts on Jesus Christ.

(3) Hold your head straight up, keep you, mouth well open, and your tongue out, resting on the under lip. Then, with great reverence, receive the Sacred Host laying in your heart with all the faith of St. Thomas:-----
"My Lord and my God."
