Eucharistic Adoration is for children too!

Saint Faustina wrote in her diary in November 1937 about her love for the Most Blessed Sacrament, which is the Lord Himself. How important it is to be with our Lord, even at a young age, listening and talking to Him. What graces we will receive. You, too, will find peace and mercy if you spend time adoring our Lord in the sanctity and quiet of His Most Holy Presence. Parents and grandparents, take your children and grandchidren to visit Jesus. Go to Eucharistic Adoration!



"Hidden Jesus, in You lies all my strength. From my most tender years, the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament has attracted me to Himself. Once, when I was seven years old, at a Vesper Service, conducted before the Lord Jesus in the monstrance, the love of God was imparted to me for the first time and filled my little heart; and the Lord gave me understanding of divine things. From that day until this, my love for the hidden God has been growing constantly to the point of closest intimacy. All the strength of my soul flows from the Blessed Sacrament. I spend all my free moments in conversation with Him. He is my Master."
Diary of Saint Faustina 1404

God's forgiveness and peace are available to us always. He calls us to trust completely. There is no limit to the Heavenly Father's goodness, kindness and mercy. Come alone or with a child and sit in the Presence of His Beloved Son in Eucharistic Adoration.

Saint Faustina, give us your love for souls. Jesus has entrusted these babies, little ones and their families to us. Jesus, we ask You to bring them into Your Light. Saint Faustina, pray for us and all these intentions. Jesus we trust in You.

The Most Holy Rosary

The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it a compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus, his birth, life, death and resurrection. The Our Fathers remind us that Jesus' Father is the initiator of salvation. The Hail Marys remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence. The Glorys remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.

The rosary appeals to many because it is simple. The constant repetition of words helps create an atmosphere in which to contemplate the mysteries of God. We sense that Jesus and Mary are with us in the joys and sorrows of life. We grow in hope that God will bring us to share in the glory of Jesus and Mary forever.



"The Rosary draws from the Gospel the presentation of the mysteries and its main formulas . As it moves from the angel's joyful greeting and the Virgin's pious assent, the Rosary takes its inspiration from the Gospel to suggest the attitude with which the faithful should recite it. In the harmonious succession of Hail Mary's, the Rosary puts before us once more a fundamental mystery of the Gospel--the incarnation of the Word, contemplated at the decisive moment of the Annunciation of Mary. The Rosary is thus a Gospel prayer, as pastors and scholars like to define it, more today perhaps than in the past." Pope Paul VI Marialis Cultus 44

“The rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christ-centered prayer. It has all the depth of the gospel messge in its entirety. It is an echo of the prayer of Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb.... It can be said that the rosary is, in some sense, a prayer-commentary on the final chapter of the Vatican II Constitution Lumen Gentium, a chapter that discusses the wondrous presence of the Mother of God in the mystery of Christ and the Church." Pope John Paul II, apostolic letter The Rosary of the Virgin Mary

Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us and for all the babies, little ones and their families for whom we pray.

Let the little children come to me.

The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy Novena
Today is the Sixth Day of the novena

Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.

Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.



Jesus said "Let the children come to me." We entrust all the names we have received through this ministry to Our Lady and ask her to bring them to Jesus.

Woman, why are you weeping?

The promise is made to you and to your children, and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call. Acts 2:39 The promise is the gift of the Holy Spirit that Peter spoke of on the day of Pentecost. Jesus has risen from the dead! Morning has broken.



But Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken my Lord, and I don't know where they laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" She thought it was the gardener and said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni," which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, "Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and what he told her. John 20:11-18

Jesus is calling us to go and tell others about Him. We cannot hold onto Him for ourselves. Jesus is commissioning us to go. We are sent out to proclaim the Gospel. When we bring others to Our Blessed Mother Mary, she will bring them to her Beloved Son.

The Pieta

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus, we trust in You. Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Mary receives the dead body of Jesus.
At the Anunciation, the angel announced that Mary would receive God in her own body and give flesh to Him. Now, in the unutterable silence of Good Friday, the Mother of God once again receives the Word of God, as her Divine Son is taken down from the Cross and placed in her arms. From this day, all generations shall call you Blessed Mother, the Madonna of the Pieta. There is no greater pain for a mother than to see her Son die before her eyes. Mary, who brought Our Savior into the world and watched Him grow, stood helplessly at the foot of the Cross. She knew this had to be and she accepted it, stood there and mourned silently.

Mary, Mother of God, by the passion and death of your only Son, give us His life. Make us new, give us the trust of children, give us the childhood of Christ. Grant us, Virgin Mother, a new heaven and a new earth, because we see with His eyes, hear with His ears, work with His hands, walk on His feet, trust with His trust in His Heavenly Father, and love with His heart. Excerpts from poem, Holy Saturday by Caryll Houselander +1954 British mystic, poet and spiritual teacher.



Jesus is placed in the tomb.
Then they rolled the stone across the mouth of the tomb. Jesus was within and Mary was without. Mary waited in confidence and trust in her eucharistic vigil before the tomb, expecting nothing less than a miracle. There is no greater love than to lay down our life for a friend. Jesus, You gave Your life for us, and You gave us Your Mother. Gazing at Mary, we know that Jesus is with us. Standing at the tomb by Mary's side, we wait, watch and pray...

Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit

Jesus, remember me, when You come into Your Kingdom.
Luke 23:42

Even as many were amazed at him so marred was his look beyond that of man, and his appearance beyond that of mortals. So shall he startle many nations, because of him kings shall stand speechless; For those who have not been told shall see, those who have not heard shall ponder it. Who would believe what we have heard? To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the parched earth; There was in him no stately bearing to make us look at him, nor appearance that would attract us to him. He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity, One of those from whom men hide their faces, spurned, and we held him in no esteem. Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins, Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed.
Isaiah 52:14-15, 53:1-5




The Seven Last Words of Christ
John 19:28 I thirst.
Luke 23:34 Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.
Luke 23:43 Amen I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.
Luke 23:46 Father, into Your hands, I commend my Spirit.
Mark 15:34 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
John 19:30 It is finished.
John 19:26. 27 Women, behold your son...Behold your mother.

Be only all for Jesus through Mary. Let Mary open your hearts to hear whatever Jesus would tell you to do. As Mary instructs,
"Do whatever He tells you." John 2:5

From the crib to the Cross

On the joyous day of the Presentation when Mary brought the baby Jesus to the temple, she knew sorrow was to come through the words of Simeon.

Simeon said to Mary, "And you yourself a sword will pierce so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed." Luke 2:34-35

From the crib to the Cross...



We have begun Holy Week. As we enter into the Sacred Triduum, we entrust all the names we have received through this baby prayer ministry to Our Blessed Mother Mary and ask her to bring them to her Beloved Son Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.
