Today I received a grace I've been praying for over the past couple of years. A FABULOUS Christmas present from heaven. I think we are all being invited to ask big this year - right now - and prepare to receive with joyful thanks and give glory to God when the gift comes. I wonder if this extravagance is because the vast majority profane this holy season, and it is the Father's good pleasure to reward His faithful little ones?
But I deserve so little and feel like I have so much to give instead? But I will go with your flow and ask for the opportunity to help a big number of people
All of us, no matter what our mission is, are called to this - doing our part to bring in the biggest harvest the world has ever seen. Expect a Christmas gift that is personal, and serves to help you to complete your mission. Where sin abounds, grace abounds the more. Great graces - incoming!!!!
Okay, since God is given out big gifts this Christmas, let us start by asking for the conversion of our limping or fallen away family members, in-laws and relatives. I can't think of a better gift then that!
I think the bes Kathy, You're so deserving of your prayers being answered! Do you think you appreciate the graces more by your prayers being answered after years rather than right away? I was just talking to someone today about how people don't want to work for anything anymore, they just want it now! So there's no appreciation of something being hard fought for. I'm so happy for you! God Bless!
I didn't know I'd been asking big for Christmas for quite some time and many times a day...... but here it is : Heavenly Father, Please send Jesus, The Holy Spirit, St Michael and The Heavenly Host. Not as the agents of a Just Judge but as Your Agents of Divine Mercy. Cast satan and his evil disciples into the Pit. Spread Your Divine Love, Mercy and countless miracles of healing ... body, mind and spirit. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. AMEN!! GOD SAVE ALL HERE .... BIG!!!
Amazing things are happening for me too. My wife has never been quite on the path as me but in the past 3 or so months she now comes to church at least 3 times a month, goes to weekday mass once in awhile with the kids and even joined a weekly prayer group at church and is reading religious books. If you told me she would be doing these things a year ago I would have said that you could not be speaking of my spouse. Prayers and the graces of the Lord are wonderful!
Thanks so much. I am not worthy of ANY of the graces I've received, but I am SO grateful! God's timing is always perfect. The best prayers I know are these: 1. "Your ways, Your means, Your timing, Your Will...in everything..." 2. "Jesus, I trust in you!"
That's all coming...ask for a new gift, a personal gift. Jesus knows exactly what you need! (I think I was inspired to pray for my gift because He wanted me to have it.)
Yes!!!!! The same thing is happening to me. For the past 3 months, almost to the day, my "wild child" has been coming with me to daily Mass, and for the last 6 weeks or so, has been praying the rosary with me on the way home from Mass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must say, I always ask BIG. I am not shy in expressing my needs or those of my family. Maybe I will start to ask BIGGER
I thank God for being born in this time. So few pray, so we must pray as if we were many. But on the flip side, the great graces reserved for this hour have very few willing recipients. It's a grace bonanza!
I had been praying for a personal situation- which had literally destroyed my life- to improve for approx. 30 years. It was only since I started praying in the Divine Will that it has resolved itself, almost overnight. But it did not resolve in the way I expected it to. It involved me changing my outlook and perspective. And in the space of a few weeks it has been erased almost completely from my memory, meaning I have to struggle to remember what it was in the first place! Praise God!
What do you mean by praying in the Divine Will? I'm saying the St. Andrew prayer 15 times per day until Christmas and asking for huge conversions which I believe are also God's will but I worry that God might not answer my prayers because I'm not putting enough effort into them.
We're talking about the way of Luisa Piccarreta, who wrote a book called "The book of heaven." Her spiritual director is a canonized Saint and her cause is under investigation. Here's a good place to start learning about it: http://www.divinewilltallahassee.com/introduction-to-the-divine-will
Wow, similar amazing things are also happening for me. One of the biggest crosses and difficulties I have had in my life the last number of years are faith and religious disagreements with my wife. Now that is changing almost overnight in some amazing ways. I have wondered for a long time when this would happen as I felt, how can I be constructive for the Lord with this constant struggle, no matter what benefits can be attained from carrying such a cross, I knew all prayers get answered. Amazing times now and amazing graces, thank God.
