Spiritual Reflections at, TX US - CONFRATERNITY OF UNITED HEARTS
| CONFRATERNITY OF UNITED HEARTS |
“CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY” means-- the mystical union of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary (Divine and Holy Love) that began at the moment of Jesus’ conception, never to be parted.
SECRETS OF THE UNITED HEARTS: salvation, holiness, Perfection, conformity and unity. INTRODUCTION Our lives must be ordered toward God’s intended purpose: Eternal life in the Holy Trinity. God has given humanity a marvelous grace-- THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY --which promotes a path of sanctification through devotion to the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Confraternity was inaugurated in the Catholic Church on the Feast of Annunciation, March 25, 2000. Members wish to live continually in Holy and Divine Love.
CHAMBERS OF THE UNITED HEARTS: FIRST CHAMBER: Coversion comes through the grace of Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Mary’s heart is Holy Love--the two great commandments-love of God and neighbor. In this first Chamber the soul is purified of iniquity; his glaring faults are brought to light; with perseverance in grace these faults are consumed and the soul passes into the Second Chamber which is personal holiness--entering Divine Love and the Divine Heart.
SECOND CHAMBER: Here in the Majestic Heart of Jesus, the soul pursues holiness. The Flame of Divine Love reveals small iniquities and flaws of character that separate the soul from God. The soul seeks to be holy in the present moment and understands that the past must be committed to God’s Mercy and the future to His Provision as he opens himself up to the grace of the present moment. More aware of and accepting of the Eternal Father’s Will for him, the soul is more surrendered to the Father’s Will in the present moment and prepared to enter the Third Chamber of the Heart of Jesus.
THIRD CHAMBER: As the soul attempts to polish the virtues in his heart and refine them in the eyes of God, he enters the Third Chamber which is perfection of the virtues. Every virtue originates from the power of the Holy Spirit and proceeds from love and humility. Testing in virtue strengthens or weakens virtue according to the soul’s response. The practice of virtue needs to be between the soul and its Creator. This is the Chamber that finetunes holiness by testing the virtues as gold in the Flame of Divine Love. As the gold is refined, the soul is prepared for the next chamber of Jesus’ Heart.
FOURTH CHAMBER: This is the Chamber of sanctification. The soul that seeks conformity with the Will of God enters this Fourth Chamber after he has successfully surrendered his will to a virtuous life of Holy Love in the present moment. An effort is being made here to overcome every semblance of sin--even small sinful habits--in order to transform the human will into the likeness of the Divine Will. The soul is able to accept all things as from the hand of God.
FIFTH CHAMBER: The most intimate Chamber of Jesus’ Heart, secretely hidden within the Fourth Chamber. It is the Kingdom of the Divine Will within one’s own heart and can be discovered by the soul as he dwells within the Fourth Chamber. Those who discover it are already in the New Jerusalem. The Fifth chamber, then is not ones’ heart moving deeper into Jesus’ Heart but the discovery of Jesus’ Heart within one’s own. In this Chamber the soul is consumed with the desire to love Him--to please Him. In this love the soul is taking a giant step beyond conformity to the Divine Will. In conforming to the Will of God there are still two wills--God’s will and the human will. The soul is making the effort to accept all things as from the Hand of God. In this most elite and intimate Fifth Chamber of Jesus’ Heart, the soul not only accepts but loves God’s Will for him. It is in this love, perfected in the greatest degree possible, that the soul comes to union with the Divine Will. Thus by deeper surrender to love, the soul is transported from one Chamber to another. It is the depth of the soul’s surrender to love that determines his eternity.
SIXTH CHAMBER: It is the Heart of the Eternal Father. It is the embrace of the Heart of God. The soul feels the embrace of the Father’s Heart increase as his soul is drawn deeper into the Chambers of the United Hearts. It embraces all the other Chambers of the United Hearts. In this Chamber is God’s promise-- a new covenant of love. The souls that pass into this Sixth Chamber have reached the ‘Highest Heaven’(a spiritual experience of God). In this life it is reserved for those who have already reached sanctity. In eterenal life the saints and martyrs of love who reached the Fifth Chamber move into the Highest Heaven. Since the Father’s Heart embraces all the Chambers of the United Hearts, He calls each soul to be immersed in this Highest Heaven. For to the one who has faith, all things are possible. At the beginning, the Will of the Father acts as a sieve--filtering out iniquity and self-will, and helping the soul to hang onto the Will of God. With each successive Chamber, more of the souls’s own will slips through the ‘sieve,’ and more of the Divine Will fills the soul. The souls that reach the Highest Heaven--either in this life or in the next--are consumed with the Divine Will and no longer exist alone--only in God. WHAT IS THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY? --IT IS AN ASSOCIATION OF THE FAITHFUL WHICH IS OPEN TO ALL CLERGY, RELIGIOUS AND LAITY WHO DESIRE TO LIVE A LIFE DEDICATED TO THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY. --THE CONFRATERNITY IS ADAPTABLE TO THE VOCATION AND STATE OF LIFE OF EACH PERSON. IT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE CHURCH OR IN MEMBERSHIPS IN OTHER ASSOCIATIONS. --It exists to help its members live a life of personal holiness through total obedience to the Law of Holy Love, the two great commandments, in every single moment. Those who want to pursue this way of life, do so by consecrating themselves to the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Its members commit themselves to evangelize the Confraternity way of life throughout the world, especially by means of the United Hearts Chaplet and the United Hearts Scapular. They are assisted in their journey to holiness by the Holy Spirit, Who leads them towards Divine Love and union with the Divine Will. --Because of the Confraternity’s unique nature and distinguishing characteristics that set it apart from other religious organizations, the best work of all is to make known to the world the Confraternity of the United Hearts and with it the Consecration to Divine Love. (See Prayers for the Journey Below) --IT WAS INAUGURATED IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON THE FEAST OF THE ANNUNCIATION, MARCH 25, 2000 --The purpose of this organization of the United Hearts is to draw souls to Jesus through Mary, to Divine Love through Holy Love, and to the Divine Will through the Holy Will. It is to bring self-will under the domain of the Divine Will. Souls thus united to the Will of God, will: --Obey the Ten Commandments --Be faithful to their state of life. --Devote time to prayer and daily Scripture reading. --Obey the two great Commandments: Love God and neighbor. --Spread devotion to the United Hearts, making known the Message of Holy and Divine Love. If Catholic, in addition to the above-- --Be faithful to the precepts of the Church, frequenting the sacraments. ----Whenever possible, attend daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration at least one hour per week, regular confession. --Promote the Papal and Magisterial Teachings of the Church.
THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS- MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINES: 1. PURSUE THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY THROUGH THE CHAMBERS OF THE UNITED HEARTS... --Step 1: Salvation: Surrender to Holy Love which is the two great commandments of love. Be taken into the Immaculate Heart;recognize the importance of the present moment and the need for purification from sin. --Step 2: Holiness: Entrance into the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Divine Love) through deeper surrender to love. Soul aspires to personal holiness by greater surrender to God’s Will and understands that he is directed by what he holds in his heart. --Step 3: Perfection: The soul, now rooted in Holy and Divine Love,puts all his effort into being perfected in the virtues and practices the virtues diligently. --Step 4: Sanctification: This Chamber of Jesus’ Divine Heart embraces those who have successfully conformed to the Divine Will of God. --Step 5: Union with the Divine Will: The inner sanctum of Our Lord’s Heart. There is now only one entity. Self is no longer present. The soul is one with God and His Divine Will. This is the New Jerusalem. --Step 6: Immersion in the Divine Will.
2. RECITE THE CONFRATERNITY ROSARY DAILY-- Each member of the Confraternity prays for the following intentions daily, preferably by reciting the Confraternity Rosary. 1. A prayer daily for the propagation of the Confraternity, both in hearts and in the world. 2. A prayer daily for the unification of the Universal Church in the Tradition of Faith. 3. A prayer daily for personal holiness. 4. A prayer daily for those who receive the message of the Chambers of the United hearts but reject it out of pride. 5. A prayer daily that all will live in the Divine Will.(A decade of the regular rosary may be said for each intention; The Orthodox may prefer to pray the Orthodox Rosary (The Jesus Prayer) for the same intentions. Also, short ejaculatory prayers can be used at different times of the day. (See Prayers for the Journey Below)
3. RECITE THE CHAPLET OF THE UNITED HEARTS FOR LIVING AND DECEASED MEMEBERS OF THE CONFRATERNITY DAILY...(See Prayers for the Journey Below) -- Through the recitation of the Chaplet of the United Hearts, a more fervent reception of the Blessed Sacrament is made daily. --The Chaplet is offered for the spiritual well-being of all the membership and for petitions surrendered to the United Hearts.
4. PERFORM CORPORAL AND/OR SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY. ONE OF THE SPIRITUAL WORKS CAN BE THE PROPAGATION OF THE CONFRATERNITY ITSELF. 5. PRAY DAILY FOR PRIESTS, ESPECIALLY THE HOLY FATHER, AND FOR THE PATRIARCHS OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH. --For a New Pentecost--an overwhelming indwelling of the Holy Spirit on the Church and its leaders.
6. PRAY THE “CONSECRATION TO DIVINE LOVE” AND THE “CONSECRATION TO THE UNITED HEARTS” ON A DAILY BASIS. (See Prayers for the Journey Below) --The Consecration to Divine Love will be a pact between man and His God, It will unite each soul to the Eternal Father through loyalty to the Divine Will of God through Holy Love.
7. WEAR BOTH THE UNITED HEARTS SCAPULAR OR MEDAL AND THE BROWN SCAPULAR. --The scapular is a barrier against evil, dispelling conflict and confusion in the heart of the one who wears it. --It will lead the soul into the embrace of the United Hearts. 3. It will bear with it a conviction of heart, revealing to the wearer unproclaimed faults. Thus the soul will be led deeper into holiness. --It will deepen devotion the the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Those who faithfully wear it shall be embraced in Holy and Divine love, and shall not die an unprovided death. --Wearing the scapular is a sign to Satan that you belong to Jesus and Mary.
8. PROPAGATE THE BLESSING OF THE UNITED HEARTS. The Blessing of the United Hearts can be given to individuals or to groups, in the silence of your heart or aloud, by saying or writing or e-mailing something like, “May you receive the United Hearts Blessing” or “I extend to you the BLessing of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary.” The healing nature of this valuable Blessing is transferable in the past, present, and in the future.
9. PRAY THE CONSECRATION TO THE FLAME OF HOLY LOVE, THE MORNING CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE CONSECRATION TO THE DIVINE WILL DAILY. Pray the Consecration to the Flame of Holy Love to enter into the Heart of Mary--the First Chamber of the United Hearts. Pray the Morning Consecration to the Holy Spirit and the consecration to the Divine Will to move toward the Fifth Chamber, union with the Divine Will. (See Prayers for the Journey Below)
10. PRAY EVERY DAY FOR PERFECTION IN THE VIRTUES, ESPECIALLY HUMILITY AND TRUST. 11. PRAY THE PRAYER TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD DAILY. Pray this prayer for the Confraternity and the Mission. The devotion to the Precious Blood is also highly recommended as a tool for perfecting the soul and taking it deeper into the Chambers of the United Hearts.
12. PRAY DAILY FOR THE UNBORN. Pray for the unborn in this way: “Jesus, protect and save the unborn.” To help the unborn, recite this prayer often and after each decade of the Rosary. (Pictured here: Rosary of the Unborn)
13. GIRD YOURSELVES WITH THE SACRAMENTS OF PENANCE AND THE EUCHARIST IF CATHOLIC OR THE DIVINE LITURGY (IF ORTHODOX). The sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist are a fortress against evil.
14. CONSECRATE FAMILIES TO THE UNITED HEARTS. The confraternity may be taken into the heart of families. One means of doing so is to make a family consecration to the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary. (See Prayers for the Journey Below)
MEMBERSHIP OVERVIEW 1. ORGANIZATIONS: --The Secular Order of Missionary Servants of Holy Love --The Confraternity of the United Hearts The Secular Order of the Missionary Servants is Ecumenical and not affiliated with any Church or legislation by Church Authority. The purpose of the Secular Order is to draw souls into the First Chamber of the United Hearts, the Immaculate Heart of Mary,the door to enter the Heart of Jesus--thus she brings her children to the Confraternity. The Confraternity, open to all faiths is the backbone of the Holy Love ministry. Membership in both is recommended to make the complete journey through the Chambers of the United Hearts. Members of both organizations lead consecrated lives as Missionary Servants.
2. MEMBERSHIP LEVELS: -Souls begin the spiritual journey by becoming a Missionary Servant of Holy Love (MSHL) in the Secular Order. Catholics and non-Catholic members humbly enter the Chambers of the United Hearts through the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Holy Love), consecrating their heart s to Mary’s Immaculate Heart through her purifying Flame of Holy Love. They embrace the spirituality of the Secular Order as they journey through Mary’s Heart -the First Chamber--(salvation)--to the Heart of Jesus. They live out their consecration in the present moment by loving God and neighbor. To enter the Heart of Jesus, they must first be purified by love, overcoming the obstacles to holiness that are their greatest sins and faults. Mary assists them in their spiritual journey.
CONFRATERNITY: To continue the spiritual journey, members also join the Confraternity, embracing the spirituality of both organizations as they pursue the journey through the Chambers of the United Hearts. TWO MEMBERSHIP LEVELS support this stage of the journey: --MISSIONARY SERVANTS OF DIVINE LOVE (MSDL) with a spiritual desire to make the journey through the Chambers of the Sacred and Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, advancing to the Second and Third Chambers. They seek the assistance of the Blessed Trinity in living out their consecration. --MISSIONARY SERVANTS OF THE UNITED HEARTS (MSUH) with the spiritual desire to persevere and with the level of commitment such that, with God’s Grace and Mercy, they can even reach the Sixth Chamber--immersion in the Divine Will of the Eternal Father.

THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY: --IS TO BE AN “ORACLE OF TRUTH” IN THE TRADITION OF FAITH, AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE SALVATION OF MANY SOULS.... --THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS WILL SPREAD AS THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AMONG ALL NATIONS. Through the Confraternity, which will be a holy body of truth, Jesus will open his arms wide to all humanity and show them the way to Heaven through the United Hearts. Consecrated hearts are part of the army of love that will liberate the world from sin, and thus form part of Jesus’ final Triumph and Victory. --AND THE “BACKBONE” OF THE REMNANT FAITHFUL. It is through the journey into the Chambers of the United Hearts that Jesus will unite the remnant faithful ino the Divine Will.
--IT CALLS CATHOLICS AND NON-CATHOLICS ALIKE... The Message of Divine Love is universal and so is Heaven’s call to join the Confraternity of the United Hearts. In it the Catholic world is called into a deeper sacramental life, and non-Catholics are called deeper into prayer and Scripture. All are called to make the journey through the Chambers of the United Hearts. It is a call for all people no matter their creed. --TO “INCARNATE” THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY.. --The Confraternity of the United Hearts is the “mystical incarnation” of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary, establishing in each heart a chamber of Holy Love and the Kingdom of Divine Love, ultimately transforming the heart into another Christ, so that “...it is not longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20). Confraternity members pray to “incarnate” the hearts of Jesus and Mary in their lives through a total surrender to the Divine Will. --MEMBERSHIP IN THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS ... requires an ever deepening understanding of what it is to live in the Divine Will in the present moment until the final goal is conquered. The final goal is the enthronement of the Divine Will within the souls’s own heart.
--IN THESE LAST DAYS IT IS A PREPARATION FOR THE VICTORY AND THE TRIUMPH OF THE UNITED HEARTS IN ALL HEARTS AND IN THE WORLD... Jesus will take up His Reign in hearts before His Triumph comes into the world. Then God’s Kingdom will reign on earth as it does in Heaven and we will live in Holy Love in the New Jerusalem. The Confraternity is the jewel that completes Jesus’ Crown of Victory.
PRAYERS FOR THE JOURNEY CHAPLET OF THE UNITED HEARTS: The Chaplet is comprised of-- twenty (20) beads; five (5) sets each of one (1) Our Father and three (3)Hail Mary’s. Following are the meditations on the five (5) sets:
1. IN HONOR OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS-- Allow yourself to be drawn into the Heart of perfect love, mercy and truth. Let His Heart inflame you and bring you to the heights of union with the Holy Trinity. --Recite Our Father and three Hail Mary’s
2. IN HONOR OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY-- Immacualte Heart of Mary, pure vessel of grace, all grace passes through your hands; it has been ordained that the conversion and peace of the world be entrusted to you. Your Heart is a refuge of Holy Love in these troubled times. Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us.
3. MEDITATING ON THE PASSION OF OUR LORD-- Jesus willingly accepted the cross for our salvation. He died for each one and for all. From His side flows an unending font of Love and Mercy. Passion of Christ strengthen us.
4. MEDITATING ON THE SORROWS OF MARY As Mary accompanied Jesus and suffered along with Him, spiritually, emotionally and physically; she did so in silence; we too, when possible, can offer our sufferings to God in silence to gain merit for souls and grace for the world.
5. IN ATONEMENT TO THE HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY Saying “yes” to Holy Love is atoning to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, since it requires self-discipline and surrender to God’s Divine Will. Surrender of one’s free will is the greatest atonement one can offer to God.
PRAYER TO THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY O United Hearts of Jesus and Mary, You are all grace, all mercy, all love. Let my heart be joined to Yours, so that my every need is present in Your United Hearts. Most especially, shed Your grace upon this particular need (for the spiritual well-being of all the members of the Confraternity, both living and deceased). Help me to recognize and accept Your loving will in my life. Amen. Holy and Sacred Wounds of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary answer my prayer.
THE ROSARY OF THE CONFRATERNITY OF THE UNITED HEARTS: On the regular rosary beads, before each meditation on the decade, the following intention/supplications are given: 1. We pray this decade for the propagation of the Confraternity, both in hearts and in the world. We understand that the Confraternity will usher in the Victory of the United Hearts. 2. We offer this decade for the unification of the Universal Church in the Tradition of Faith. We pray that what is in darkness will be brought to light, and compromise will face defeat. 3. We offer this decade for our own personal holiness. We pray to be perfected in Holy Love--hereby being led deep into Divine Love. 4. We pray this decade for all who receive the Message of the Chambers of the United Hearts, but reject it out of pride. We ask the Blessed Mother to give them the grace of the illumination of conscience. 5. We offer this decade that all will live in the Divine Will. The Kingdom to come is the reign of the Divine Will in every heart. This is the Triumph and Victory.
CONSECRATION TO THE UNITED HEARTS: Most Worthy, United Hearts of Jesus and Mary, I willingly consecrate myself this day to You. I surrender to You all I own, both interior and exterior. Let my life be a continual hymn of praise to Your Most Holy United Hearts. Take the victories and defeats of this moment into Your Hearts. Use them as You need them, to bring about Your triumphant reign. Amen. CONSECRATION TO THE FLAME OF HOLY LOVE: Immaculate Heart of Mary, humbly I ask that you take my heart into the Flame of Holy Love, that is the Spiritual Refuge of all mankind. Do not look upon my faults and failings, but allow these iniquities to be burned away by this purifying Flame. Through Holy Love, help me to be sanctified in the present moment, and in so doing, give to you, dear Mother, my every thought, word and action. Take me and use me according to Your great pleasure. Allow me to be Your instrument in the world, all for the greater glory of God and toward Your victorious reign. Amen. CONSECRATION TO DIVINE LOVE: My Jesus, Divine Love Itself, I consecrate myself completely to You. In and through this consecration, I unite my soul to Divine Love, undersatanding that in so doing I will be a martyr of love. I choose to seek only Your good pleasure in the present moment, Jesus. Thus I surrender to You, my health, my appearance, and even my own comforts. Through this surrender, I pray that Divine Love will be victorious in every heart. Enfolded within this consecration to Your Divine Love, sweet Jesus, find my ‘yes’ to the Divine Will of God in every moment and with every breath. I seek nothing that You would not have me seek. I love no person, place, or thing beyond Your Will for me. I embrace every cross You permit and cherish every grace You provide. Amen.
PRAYER FOR ASSISTANCE TO LIVE THE CONSECRATION TO DIVINE LOVE: Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit of God, I come before You as I have consecrated my body and soul to Divine Love. I ask Your assistance in living out this consecration in every present moment. Help me to surrender to every cross, and to recognize and respond to every precious grace You place in my life. Through my consecration to Divine Love, I beg Your assistance in annihilating my own will and living in Your Divine Will. Amen.
MORNING CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT: Most Holy Spirit, I consecrate to You this day in time. Open my heart to Your promptings. Inspire me to do the Divine Will of God. Amen.
CONSECRATION TO THE DIVINE WILL: Heavenly Father, I desire that You place a Seal of Your Divine Will upon my heart. Thus, I will accept Your Will in all situations and in every present moment. I will accept all things as from Your Hand for the good of my salvation and the salvation of others. Amen. PRAYER FOR HUMILITY: Dear Jesus, recreate my heart today in humility. Let my every thought, word and deed be for your greater honor and glory, never my own. Show me the areas of pride in my life and help me to overcome my pride. I ask this in Your Most Holy Name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
TRUST PRAYER: Dear Jesus, teach me to trust only in the power of You, Your Father and the Holy Spirit. I surrender my will to You. In this surrender, I accept that Your grace controls the future. I understand that You love me and want only my good--my salvation. I resolve to live in the present and await whatever You may plan for me in the furture. I will trust in Your plans and Divine Will for me. Amen.
PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL LITTLENESS: Dear Jesus, I wish to come to you as a little child. As a child, I desire only to appeal to you, In this effort, I reject the pomp of the world, I embrace the truth of humility which reveals to me where I am in God’s Eyes. I seek only God’s approval in every present moment. Thus I surrender my own will and my human nature to the Divine Will of God. In doing so, I do not chase after pleasures or importance in human eyes. I allow God complete mastery over my heart, trusting always in His plans for me. Amen.
PRAYER TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD: Sweet Precious Blood of Jesus, pour out upon this Mission and the Confraternity. Set us free from anything that may distract our journey into the United Hearts. Immerse us in Divine Love--Divine Mercy. Amen.
PRECIOUS BLOOD DEVOTION--OF THE SACRIFICE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD. THE DEVOTION IS SHORT, BUT POWERFUL; IT IS MADE UP OF FIVE ‘HAIL MARYS’ THESE ARE THE MEDITATIONS: 1. The sacrifice of the shedding of Jesus’ Blood under the whips and thorns perpetrated by His persecutors; 2. The sacrifice of the shedding of His Blood as He was nailed to the Cross. 3. The sacrifice of the shedding of His Blood as His Heart was pierced by a lance. 5. The sacrifice of the shedding of His Blood as He abides Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the tabernacles of the world. PROMISES OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD DEVOTION- 1. First and foremost, this is a prompt and certain protection from Satan’s attacks. 2. Secondly, this veneration will uncover Satan’s attacks where they lay hidden. 3. Thirdly, it is a tool on the path of perfection with the soul, taking it deeper into the Chambers of the United Hearts.
FAMILY CONSECRATION TO THE UNITED HEARTS: 1. Gather your family. 2. Read the two Scripture passages. 3. Recite the three prayers given. 4. Display pictures of the United Hearts and of Mary, Refuge of Holy Love in your home.
SCRIPTURES: 2 Chronicles, Chap. 7: v. 2 “For now I have chosen and consecrated this house so that My Name may be there forever; My Eyes and My Heart will be there for all time.” Exodus-Chap. 12: v. 7 & 13 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat them. The blood shall be a sign for you, upon the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall fall upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt.”
CONSECRATION OF FAMILIES TO THE UNITED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY: Sacred and United Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Your are one in purpose as You desire the salvation, holiness and sanctity of each soul. We consecrate our family to You seeking your victory both in our hearts and in the world. We acknowledge the perfection of Your mercy in the past, the abundance of Your provision in the future and the supreme sovereignty of the Father’s Divine Will in the present moment. We desire to be part of Your triumphant reign, beginning in this present moment through our ‘yes’ to Holy and Divine Love. We wish, with the help of Your grace, to live out this consecration through every future moment. Thus we will be united in triumph with You, dear United Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Amen.
DEDICATION OF HOMES TO MARY, REFUGE OF HOLY LOVE Mary, my Mother, my Fortress--Refuge of Holy Love--sanctify this home through Holy Love. Open each heart that dwells herein to holiness. Lead us along the path of Holy Love. Be victorious over any evil, whether it be an unknown force within these walls, a seductive habit, or some voluntary attachment we have chosen ourselves. Make this home a sanctuary of Holy Love. Amen.
PRAYERS FOR PERSONAL SANCTIFICATION IN THE PRESENT MOMENT: 1. Heavenly Father, I desire to live in your Divine Will in every present moment by living in Holy Love in thought, word and deed. When I am distracted or tempted, I ask my guardian angel to remind me of the preesnt moment so that I may sanctify each moment through Hoy Love. Amen. 2. Dear Jesus, Divine Love Incarnate, in this present moment I ask You to accept the surrender of all my faults. I consecrate every fault and weakeness to Divine Love. With this surrender, I know You will show me more clearly what my faults are, why I give in to them and You will give me strength to overcome them. Amen.
3. AFTER RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION: Dear Jesus, miraculously present in the Holy Eucharist, unite my heart to Your Eucharistic Heart. In this most precious moment when You are physically present in my heart, bring me into union with Divine Love, and hold me there always. Amen.
DAILY EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE --Did I return Love for Love? (God’s love for me back to Him) --Did I find fault with anyone in thought or word when it was not my duty to do so? --Did I transgress another’s rights according to any of the Commandments? --Have I tried to be an example of Holy Love and Holy Humility in my daily life? --Have I allowed Holy Love and Humility to lead me deeper into the virtues: simplicity, prudence, patience, fortitude, and perseverance? --Am I living the Message only on my lips (for others to see--superficially); or do I have the Message in my heart, thus having a a private relationship with Jesus through Mary? --Did I use the world--people, places, and things--to promote the Message of Holy Love? --Have I allowed the element of time to manipulate me, or do I use time wisely for the glory of God? --If I am Catholic, do I know the Church laws and obey them? --Am I faithful to my state of life? --If I am Catholic, did I make good use of the sacraments? --Did I accept and embrace the crosses in my life as part of God’s Will for me; or do I rebel against the cross, thus losing grace for souls? --If I received special graces in any form, did I broadcast it to others unnecessarily; or do I realize I am undeserving and thank God for it?
