The first Hail Mary will be in honor of God the Father, Whose omnipotence raised my soul so high above every other creature that, after God, I have the greatest power in Heaven and on earth. In the hour of your death I will use that power of God the Father to keep any hostile power from you.

The second Hail Mary will be in honor of God the Son, Who communicated His inscrutable wisdom to me . . . In the hour of your death I will fill your soul with the light of that wisdom so that all the darkness of ignorance and error will be dispelled.

The third Hail Mary will be in honor of God the Holy Ghost, Who filled my soul with the sweetness of His love and tenderness and mercy . . . In your last hour I will then change the bitterness of death into Divine sweetness and delight

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE BLESSED TRINITY

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin
above all Angels and Saints in Paradise, Daughter of
the Eternal Father, and I consecrate to Thee
my soul with all its faculties.

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.

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin
above all Angels and Saints in Paradise, beloved Mother
of the Son of God, and I consecrate to Thee my body
with all its senses.

THE HAIL MARY

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin 
above all Angels and Saints in Paradise, beloved Spouse 
of the Holy Ghost, and I consecrate to Thee my heart 
with all its affections, and beseech Thee to obtain for me from 
the Most Holy Trinity all the graces necessary for salvation.

THE HAIL MARY

Recite morning and evening the Consecration and Three Hail Marys in honor of the three great privileges of Mary,
together with this invocation at the end of each Hail Mary:

By thy holy and Immaculate Conception, O Mary,
make my body pure and my soul holy;
preserve me this day [this night] from mortal sin.

The Promise

During an apparition to St. Gertrude, the Blessed Mother promised, "To any soul who faithfully prays the Three Hail Marys I will appear at the hour of death in a splendor of beauty so extraordinary that it will fill the soul with Heavenly consolation." 

"I have a little key that will open the door of heaven for you when you die.

All you have to do is to say, in my honor, three Hail Marys, every day."

Ipse vero apprehénsum sanávit eum, ac dimisit. Et respondens ad illos, dixit: "Cujus vestrum ásinus, aut bos in púteum cadet, et non contínuo extrahet illum die sabbáti?" Et non póterant ad hæc respondére illi. Dicébat autem et ad invitátos parábolam, inténdens quómodo primos accúbitus elígerent, dicens ad illos: "Cum invitiátus fúeris ad ad núptias, non discúmbas in primo loco, ne forte honorátior te sit invitátus ab illo, et véniens is, quis te et illum vacávit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incípias cum rubóre novíssimum locum tenére. Sed cum vocátus fúeris, vade, recúmbe in novíssimo loco: ut, cum vénerit qui te invitávit, dicat tibi: Amice, ascénde supérius. Tunc erit tibi glória coram simul discumbéntibus: quia omnis qui se exáltat, humiliábitur: et qui se humíliat, exaltábitur."

At that time, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chiefs of the Pharisees on the Sabbath day to eat bread, they watched Him. And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had the dropsy: and Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and the Pharisees, saying: "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?"But they held their peace: but He taking him, healed him, and sent him away. And answering them, He said:"Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out on the sabbath day?" And they could not answer Him these things. And He spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:"When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honorable than thou be invited by him and he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place: that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled and he that humbled himself shall be exalted."

NO RIGHT TO WEAR A CROSS AT WORK IN THE UK

From http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/344124/No-right-to-wear-a-cross-at-work

DAVID Cameron stood accused of hypocrisy yesterday after Government lawyers argued in favour of a workplace ban on wearing crosses.

Two months ago, the Prime Minister said Christians should be allowed to display the symbol of their belief and pledged to protect religious freedoms. But yesterday, EU judges were told to ignore an appeal by four devout British Christians barred from showing their faith in the workplace.

The Government lawyer stunned the four when he said that if they did not like the ban they could always “resign and move to another job”. In July, the Prime Minister told the House of Commons that the right to wear the cross at work was “an absolutely vital freedom”.

He even pledged to change the law to “make clear that people can wear religious symbols at work”.

But yesterday, campaigners were quick to slam Mr Cameron for failing to follow through on his public stance. 

Only A few Shall be saved

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
Matthew 7:13-14

Lord, are there few that are saved? But he said to them: Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I tell you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able
Luke 13:23-24

How many souls turn away from the road to glory, and go to hell!
 St. Francis Xavier

Those who are saved are in the minority. 
St. Thomas Aquinas

Taking into account the behaviour of mankind, only a small part of the human race will be saved. Lucy of Fatima

It is certain that few are saved. 
St. Augustine

Ah, how many souls lose Heaven and are cast into Hell! 
St. Francis Xavier

So many people are going to die, and almost all of them are going to Hell! So many people falling into hell!
 Jacinta of Fatima

How few the Elect are may be understood from the multitude being cast out. 
St. Hilary of Poitiers

A great number of Christians are lost. 
St. Leonard of Port Maurice

Bad confessions damned the majority of Christians.
 St. Teresa of Avila

The number of the saved is as few as the number of grapes left after the vineyard-pickers have passed. 
St. John Mary Vianney

Yes, indeed, many will be damned; few will be saved.
 St. Benedict Joseph of Labre

Live with the few if you want to reign with the few. 
St. John Climacus

The number of the damned is incalculable. 
St. Veronica Giuliani

So vast a number of miserable souls perish, and so comparatively few are saved! 
St. Philip Neri

The majority of men shall not see God, excepting those who live justly, purified by righteousness and by every other virtue. 
St. Justin the Martyr

The majority of souls appear before the Judgement empty-handed. They did nothing good for eternity. 

Venerable Mary of Agreda

The greater number of men still say to God: Lord we will not serve Thee; we would rather be slaves of the devil, and condemned to Hell, than be Thy servants. Alas! The greatest number, my Jesus - we may say nearly all - not only do not love Thee, but offend Thee and despise Thee. How many countries there are in which there are scarcely any Catholics, and all the rest either infidels or heretics! And all of them are certainly on the way to being lost.

 St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori

Out of one hundred thousand sinners who continue in sin until death, scarcely one will be saved. St. Jerome

If you wish to imitate the multitude, then you shall not be among the few who shall enter in by the narrow gate. 
St. Augustine

They who are to be saved as Saints, and wish to be saved as imperfect souls, shall not be saved. Pope St. Gregory the Great

Ah! A great many persons live constantly in the state of damnation! 
St. Vincent de Paul

The common opinion is that the greater part of adults is lost. 
St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori

The path to Heaven is narrow, rough and full of wearisome and trying ascents, nor can it be trodden without great toil; and therefore wrong is their way, gross their error, and assured their ruin who, after the testimony of so many thousands of saints, will not learn where to settle their footing.

1 Thessalonians 2: 2-8

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Thessalónicenses. Fratres: Fidúciam habúimus in Deo nostro loqui ad vos evangélium Dei in multa sollicitúdine. Exhortátio enim nostra non de errore neque de immundítia neque in dolo; sed sicut probáti sumus a Deo ut crederétur nobis evangélium, ita lóquimur; non quasi homínibus placéntes, sed Deo qui probat corda nostra. Neque enim aliquándo fuimus in sermóne adulatiónis, sicut scitis, neque in occasióne avarítiæ, Deus testis est, nec quæréntes ab homínibus glóriam neque a vobis neque ab aliis. Cum possemus vobis oneri esse ut Christi apóstoli, sed facti sumus párvuli in medio vestrum, tamquam si nutrix fóveat fílios suos.

Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians. Brethren, we had confidence in our God to preach to you the gospel of God amid much anxiety. For our exhortation was not from error, nor from impure motives, nor from guile. But as approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts. For at no time have we used words of flattery, as you know, nor any pretext for avarice, God is witness, nor have we sought glory from men, neither from you nor from others. Although as the apostles of Christ we could have claimed a position of honor among you, still while in your midst we were as children: as if a nurse were cherishing her own children, so we in our love for you would gladly have imparted to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls: because you had become most dear to us.

Manifésta sunt autem ópera carnis: quæ sunt fornicátio, immundítia, impudicítia, luxúria, idolórum sérvitus, venefícia, inimícitiæ, contentiónes, æmuIatiónes, iræ, rixæ, dissensiónes, sectæ, invidiæ, homicídia, ebrietátes, comessatiónes, et his simília quæ prædíco vobis, sicut prædíxi: quóniam qui tália agunt, regnum Dei non consequéntur.

Qui autem sunt Christi, carnem suam crucifixérunt cum vítiis at concupiscéntiis

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Galatians. Brethren, Walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh: for the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh for these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like of which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things, shall not obtain the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh with the vices and concupiscences.

Ideo dico vobis, ne sollíciti sitis ánimæ vestræ quid manducátis, neque córpori vestro quid induámini. Nonne ánima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestiméntum? Respícite volatília cæli, quóniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque cóngregant in hórrea: et Pater vester cæléstis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis? Quis autem vestrum cógitans, potest adjícere ad statúram suam cúbitum unum? Et de vestiménto quid sollíciti estis? Consideráte lílla agri, quómodo crescunt: non labórant, neque nent. Dico autem vobis, quóniam nec Sálomon in omni glória sua coopértus est sicut unum ex istis.

Behold the birds of the air for they neither sow nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of much more value than they? And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? And for raiment, why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they labor not, neither do they spin but I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now if God so clothe the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast in the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith! Be not solicitous therefore saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? for after all these things do the heathen seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and His justice and all these things shall be added unto you."

Concéde nobis, Dómine, quæsumus: ut hæc hóstia salutáris et nostrórum fiat purgátio delictórum, et tuæ. Propitiátio potestátis. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filium Tuum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus,
