WHY PRAYERS
PROMISES FROM JESUS
Stations Of The Cross
Jesus made these promises to us for making the Way of the Cross:
1. “I’ll grant everything that’s asked of Me with faith when making The Way of the Cross.
2. I promise Eternal Life to those who pray from time to time, The Way of the Cross.
3. I’ll follow them everywhere in life and I’ll help them, especially at the hour of death.
4. Even if they have more sins than blades of grass in the fields, and grains of sand in the sea, all of them will be erased by The Way of the Cross. (Note: This promise doesn’t eliminate the obligation to confess all mortal sins, and this before we can receive Holy Communion.)
5. Those who pray The Way of the Cross often, will have a special glory in Heaven.
6. I’ll deliver them from Purgatory, indeed, if they go there at all, the first Tuesday or Friday after their death.
7. I’ll bless them at each Way of the Cross, and My blessing will follow them everywhere on earth and, after death, in Heaven for all Eternity.
8. At the hour of death I won’t permit the devil to tempt them; I’ll lift all power from him in order that they’ll repose tranquilly in My Arms.
9. If they pray it with true love, I’ll make of each one of them a living Ciborium in which it will please Me to pour My grace.
10. I’ll fix My eyes on those who pray The Way of the Cross often; My hands will always be open to protect them.
11. As I am nailed to the Cross, so also will I always be with those who honor Me in making the Way of the Cross frequently.
12. They’ll never be able to separate themselves from Me, for I’ll give them the grace never again to commit a Mortal sin.
13. At the hour of death I’ll console them with My Presence and we’ll go together to Heaven. Death will be sweet to all those who have honored Me during their lives by praying The Way of the Cross.
14. My Soul will be a protective shield for them, and will always help them, whenever they have Recourse.”
Souls in Purgatory Prayer
This prayer was given to St. Gertrude during a vision from Jesus with the promise that 1000 souls would be released from purgatory when prayed.
Divine Mercy Chaplet
Jesus made the following promise to Sister (Saint) Faustina: "Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy”........”When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just judge but as the Merciful Savior".
First Friday Devotion
Consecration and reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was given special impetus by the revelations of Our Lord to Saint Margaret Mary, between the years 1673 and 1675. One Friday during Holy Communion, Jesus made the following promises:
1. “I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will give peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of death.
5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.
9. I will bless the homes in which the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart and it shall never be effaced.
12. The all powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under My displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My Heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.”
Drops Of Jesus’ Blood Prayer
There is nothing more holy in this world than to work for the good of souls, for whose salvation Jesus Christ poured out the last drops of His blood. Jesus revealed these promises to St. Elizabeth, St. Matilda, and St. Bridget:
“To all the faithful who shall recite: for three (3) years, each day, two (2) Our Fathers, and two (2) Hail Marys, and two (2) Glory Bes, in honor of the drops of blood I lost, I (Jesus) will concede the following 5 graces:
1. The plenary indulgence and remittance of your sins.
2. You will be free from the pains of Purgatory
3. If you should die before completing the said 3 years, for you it will be the same as if you had completed them.
4. It will be upon your death the same as if you had shed all your blood for the Holy Faith.
5. I will descend from Heaven to take your soul and that of your relatives, until the fourth generation.”
Holy Face Of Jesus Devotion
Jesus gave these promises to Sister Mary of St. Peter, a Carmelite nun in Tours, to those who would honor His Holy Face:
1. “All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica. According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face, disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God”.
2. “Those who by words, prayers or writing defend My cause in this Work of Reparation I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom”.
3. “By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained”.
4. “By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God, and draw down mercy on sinners”.
5. “As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King's effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face”.
6. “Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory”.
7. “They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven”.
8. “I will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance.”
