"Here is the remedy against evil. Pray, pray and ask for nothing else. Put everything in the hands of the Mother of God. We must be prepared to undergo great trials in the not too distant future. Trials that will require us to be ready to give up even our lives and a total gift of self to Christ and for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is possible to alleviate this tribulation, but it is no longer possible to avert it. It is only in this way the Church can be renewed. How many times, indeed, has the renewal of the Church been effected in blood. This time it will not be otherwise. We must be attentive to the prayer of the ROSARY. (Pope John Paul II)

2. The Scourging at the Pillar - The people said, “Let his blood be upon us and upon our children.”  At that, he released Barabbas to them.  Jesus, however, he first had scourged. (Matthew 27:25, 26)
3. The Crowning with Thorns - They stripped off his clothes and wrapped him in a scarlet cloak.  Weaving a crown out of thorns, they fixed it on his head and began to mock him. (Matthew 27:28, 29)

1. Jesus' Baptism in the Jordan - Here, as Christ descends into the waters, the innocent one who became "sin" for our sake ( 2Cor 5:21), the heavens open wide and the voice of the Father declares him the beloved Son. (Mt 3:17).
2. Jesus' self-manifestation at the wedding of Cana - Christ changes water into wine and opens the hearts of the disciples to faith, thanks to the intervention of Mary, the first among believers. (Jn 2:1-12).

5. The Institution of the Eucharist as the sacramental expression of the Paschal Mystery - Christ offers his body and blood as food under the signs of bread and wine, and testifies "to the end" his love for humanity (Jn 13:1), for whose salvation he will offer himself in sacrifice.

                       Visit this house, we beg you, Lord, and banish from it the deadly power of the evil one. May your holy angels dwell here to keep us in peace, and may your blessing be always upon us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

 O Holy Spirit, Soul of my Soul, enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it. I promise to be submissive to everything You permit to happen to me but only show me what is Your will. Amen.

 In union with the Successor to Peter, the Vicar of Christ, Pope John Paul II, united by faith, love and prayer. Let us begin the rosary by professing "I believe in God..."

                       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 thedead; He ascended into heaven, sits 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.

 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 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.

 Hail Mary, full of grace; The Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst 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.

 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.

 O my Jesus forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

 Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.  To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this veil of tears.  Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus,  O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

P.  Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R.  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray, 

 O God whose only begotten Son by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant we beseech Thee that in meditating on the mysteries of the most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ Our Lord.  Amen.
  

May the Heart of Jesus in the most Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection at every moment in all the tabernacles of the world even until the end of time. Amen.
Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.  May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

               Oh, St. Joseph,  whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.  Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.  Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.  St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls-Pray for us.
Prayer to St. Theresa

 O beautiful Rose of Carmel, Saint Theresa of the Infant Jesus, deign according to your promise to descend from heaven to visit those who implore you.  Pour down on us in profusion those celestial graces that are symbolized by the shower of roses that Jesus, your spouse, has put at your disposition.  Your power is great with His Heart. He can only listen and hear your prayer.  I have then recourse to you, O Saint Theresa of the Infant Jesus, assist me in this circumstance.  Speak for me to Jesus and Mary and obtain for me to live a holy life and die a happy death.   Saint Theresa, hear my prayer.  Show your power with God and cure me if it be for the honor of God and the good of my soul.  Amen. 

 Saint Peter Julian who, all aflame with faith in the Holy Eucharist, pleaded with the world, "Jesus is there, go to Him," obtain through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, that this cry from the depths of your heart may re-echo in all hearts and lead to a renewal and deepening of Christian life everywhere.

May your call resound even more powerfully and fruitfully from heaven where you now share the glory of the saints. May it raise among the faithful and especially among priests, to whom you were so constantly devoted, new armies of adorers and apostles of the Eucharist who, like you, will dedicate themselves to its glorification among individuals and nations, and work for the coming of the peace of Christ in His reign of love. Amen.
