TOTUS TUUS, MARIA !
PREPARING FOR THE END OF LIFE
In September 2015 the Heavenly Queen spoke to Myriam the following words on the occasion of the decease of a soul who had been recognizing and serving Her faithfully in Her capacity as the Mistress of all souls.
The words were addressed to a group of souls the deceased had been part of. The Heavenly Mistress later allowed this revelation to be published as an encouragement to all souls who recognize Her and remain faithful to Her in this most sublime of Her capacities:
MARIA – DOMINA ANIMARUM: "I refer to My Work as the Apostolate of true Love, true hope, encouragement and the fullness of Truth. What balm is it for the heart to know that ..... (name of the deceased) has had the opportunity to get to know this spiritual balm at the dusk of her life. I am present during the judgment of each soul in her hour of transition. How high will the flame flare up in a soul when seeing the Queen of Heaven if even before the hour of her judgment she has gotten to know Her the way She really is. However, it is exactly this flaring fire which is going to open up the gate of Heaven to her. Indeed, what balm is hidden in this understanding. Do persevere, all of you, for in every soul who recognizes Me the way I truly am, My foot has already humiliated the darkness. Allow Me to take possession of the throne in your hearts, and you will taste true Bliss". (Mary, the Mistress of all souls, September 2015)
Why should it be necessary for a human soul to prepare for the end of her life spiritually? Because life on earth is not a goal in itself, but merely a preparation for true Life, Eternal Life. Every soul is created as a work wrought by God and is given one life on earth for the purpose of living as an instrument of God’s Works, contributing to the restoration of creation back to the state it was in prior to the original sin, as due to the original sin and the countless subsequent violations of Divine Law creation has lost its state as a mirror of the Kingdom of God in the Heavens. Life on earth is therefore similar to a temporary business trip at the service of the accomplishment of God’s goals. A soul who regards her life on earth as a goal in itself is actually regarding this life as a thing which concerns only herself personally, and therefore has not understood the only purpose of life. Thus God will judge this soul as being a soul who has failed to accomplish her mission in life.
This is why every soul should be well aware of the only purpose of her life on earth, so as to lead this life in such a way as to make it fruitful both for her own eternal salvation and for the accomplishment of her life-long mission at the service of God’s Plan of Salvation. Preparing for the end of one’s life is exactly this: seeing to it that life is led in such a way that at the end of it God may be able to judge the soul as having accomplished the mission for which she was sent into the world.
The journey on our path through life is actually a journey towards sanctity, for that is what every soul is sent into the world for: The human soul’s primordial mission and vocation in life consists herein that she should make the contribution she is expected to make to the accomplishment of God’s Plan of Salvation. The only purpose of every human soul’s life is its being a means through which God can accomplish His Plan of Salvation with a view to establishing His Kingdom of perfect Love, Peace, happiness and Justice in and among all creatures on earth, for on earth God will preferably work through human souls.
This is how God provided it to be: Every human soul is to be a tool through which He accomplishes His Works. Every soul is expected to put her hands, her mouth, her heart, her spirit and her will spontaneously and unconditionally at God’s disposal for Him to make use of as tools. A tool’s usefulness is determined by its consistency, its nature, its quality, as well as by its resistance to hostile influences. In a similar way a human soul’s usefulness as a tool at the service of God’s Plan of Salvation is determined by its ability to practice a virtuous behaviour and to harbour virtuous inner dispositions and to persistently resist all darkness on her path through life.
Every soul’s journey through life draws to an end at some point of time determined by God. That is why at several points of time in our lives, every one of us has got to cope with death in their surroundings. Every soul is allotted a certain lifespan, which is determined by Divine Wisdom and Providence. This lifespan depends on the contribution God expects each human soul to make. The lifespan determined by God can to a certain extent be changed through the most various kinds of human interventions. In certain cases these interventions may meet God’s approval (e.g. certain medical interventions; only God can judge to what extent any such intervention may be desirable for the development of His Plan of Salvation), in other cases they may not (e.g. murder, or any treatment towards a fellow creature through which the course or the quality of the latter’s life are altered in ways which are not approved of by God’s Law of true Love).
Death may be the end of life on earth, but above all it is the beginning of eternal life. That is why nobody should ever forget to consecrate this event, both for the day when it occurs in their own lives and in the lives of fellow creatures they love, and even for souls anywhere in the world that one does not even know. Consecration of this event to the Holy Virgin Mary adds a tremendous value to it, as this actually 'inserts' death as an active part into God’s Plan of Salvation.
With the prayers and accompanying brief teachings presented in the underlying section the Mistress of all souls intends to help souls make the last stage of their life on earth truly fruitful within the framework of fulfilling the mission God has given them to accomplish during their only life as a link within the network of creation. Let us therefore never forget the end of life should be considered to be one of the most important stages in life.
Hard as it may be to go on living without a fellow creature that has shared your life and has been like a part of you, every departure as well as the time at which it occurs has got a meaning somewhere within God’s all-embracing Plan. You can actively contribute towards turning it into a real beam of Light by your consecrating it, in order that the Holy Virgin Mary may wrap it into Her absolutely perfect immaculate Love and thus present it to God as a 'fully accomplished' or a 'cleansed' event. This is not merely a lovely thought, it is a spiritual reality, taught to us in the Science of Divine Life. The end of a human soul’s life can only be fruitful or 'beautiful' to the extent this soul has been leading a fruitful or 'beautiful' life. 'Beautiful' is then understood to mean 'attractive when judged by the extent to which it has fulfilled the Divine Law of true Love'.
May the prayers contained in the present section bring both undying hope and consolation to the souls. Do use them as soon as possible once Divine Providence has brought them on your path through life. They might very well be just what you need to dispel any darkness from an event which should be considered to be among the most important ones in life, as death is the step through which the threshold towards God, who is Eternal Love, is crossed. The end of life in the strictest sense of the word, i.e. as the moment at which life on earth expires, is the moment at which God strikes the balance as to what value the past life has had for the fulfilment of His Plan of Salvation. The value of a human soul’s life is determined by the extent to which the soul has served God’s Works by fulfilling the Law of true Love in every detail of her life and in all dispositions of her heart towards God and towards all her fellow creatures at any given point of time during her life.
Consecrating the hour of death and saying these prayers in those very last moments can indeed make a huge difference for the soul’s eternal destination. It is, however, of equal importance to prepare for one’s dying hour in due time, for if a soul deviates from fulfilling Divine Law for the entire duration of her life there is no way she will be able to make amends for this in her final hour.
The soul knows neither the day nor the hour of her departure. This is why it is highly recommendable to begin preparations as soon as Divine Providence brings these prayers on your path through life. They are subdivided into four categories:
1. Forgiveness
2. Making reparation and amends
3. Direct preparation for the last stage of life
4. Consecrating the hour of death
Together these four categories constitute an all-embracing preparation for the hour of the soul’s transition from this life to the judgment before God’s Throne, a preparation inspired by the Queen of Heaven:
1. Forgiveness
To the extent to which you sincerely and whole-heartedly grant forgiveness to your fellow man, God is going to grant you forgiveness for your own debts towards Divine Justice. A soul dying with a heart that still contains traces of grudge, resentment or bitterness regarding one or more fellow creatures, exposes herself to a less favourable judgment and postpones the moment of her entry into Heaven. The reason lies in the fact these dispositions of the heart point towards a lack of true Love and that any lack of true Love make it impossible for a soul to 'endure' the state of being of Eternal Bliss, as the Heavenly Mistress demonstrated, among others, in Her teaching entitled Life beyond the setting sun. Moreover a soul who dies while holding a grudge or with a lack of forgiveness in her heart leaves behind darkness, which then adds to the darkness which is already oppressing the world.
As regards her own sins, even if they have been confessed at some point, it is useful that the soul should explicitly confess her sinfulness towards God once more, by way of purifying the last remaining traces of her sins and as an expression of her desire for reconciliation.
A soul who is unwilling to recognize her own guilt may find herself forgiving herself rather lightly yet having a hard time forgiving others, or she may unjustly blame others for situations which have made her life more difficult but for which she herself was responsible. It is of the utmost importance that each soul should in all honesty and sincerity own up to her own faults and mistakes before her life comes to an end, and that she admits before God if she has been accusing fellow creatures unjustly, and that she sincerely forgives these fellow creatures yet if the latter should definitely have caused her any harm, suffering or pain. It damages God’s Works in creation if a soul departs from her earthly life in a state of lacking harmony with any fellow creatures.
The Queen of Heaven most emphatically invites every single soul to reconcile herself whole-heartedly, sincerely and unconditionally with al her fellow-creatures – both fellow people and animals – without any delay, in order that she may be able to leave this world in a disposition of harmony and sincere Love towards each and every fellow creature.

Beloved Eternal Father,

By virtue of Jesus’ proclamation of God’s Word, forgive me for each time I failed to serve Truth or my mouth failed to give thanks or praise to the Most Holy Trinity.
By virtue of the Last Supper, forgive me for each time I failed to duly appreciate the holy Sacraments or I showed a lack of respect for the Heavenly graces my soul has received.
By virtue of Jesus’ moral agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, forgive me for each time I was indifferent to my own sins.
By virtue of the scourging of Jesus, forgive me for each time I paid more attention to the hunger of my body than to the hunger of my soul.
By virtue of Jesus’ crowning with thorns, forgive me for each time I forgot my nothingness or failed to use my intelligence for the benefit of my fellow creature.
By virtue of Jesus’ being deprived of His clothes on Mount Calvary, forgive me for each time I was not honest with my fellow man or I hid my true poverty behind a veil of outward appearance.
By virtue of the crucified Jesus’ being willing to forgive, forgive me for each time I harboured a grudge against those who had done me wrong.
By virtue of Jesus’ thirst on the Cross, forgive me for each time the poisoned cup of self-love appeared more attractive to me than the thirst for a fellow person’s conversion.

By virtue of Jesus’ Death on the Cross, forgive me for all the sins I have committed physically, mentally and emotionally, and which have separated me more and more from Eternal Life.
By virtue of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the First Pentecost, forgive me for each time I allowed the fire of Love towards God and my fellow creatures to go out, I no longer felt the joy of Heaven, or a lack of Wisdom as well as spiritual blindness tempted me into making decisions that proved to jeopardize my own salvation and the salvation of others.
By virtue of Mary’s Immaculate Conception, forgive me for each time darkness in my heart or mind deprived me of purity.
By virtue of Mary’s intercession at Cana, forgive me for each time I was locked up in myself so deeply that I did not have eyes for my fellow person’s poverty or needs.

By virtue of Mary’s Tears under the Cross, forgive me for each time I was indifferent to the sufferings or the loneliness of my fellow person.
Eternal Father, through the blessed hands of Mary, the perfect Mother You have given me, I let my repentant heart lay down in front of You, so that my soul may find healing with You for the wounds she has sustained on any wrong tracks she has ever followed.
609. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN TOTAL FORGIVENESS
Dear Mother Mary, sublime Advocate invested with an immeasurable power upon the Merciful Heart of God, I come to You filled with remorse, for my soul is so encumbered.
To whom could I turn but to You, my tender Mother, who have known all the pains of a wounded heart.
The pitfalls of temptation have made my soul stumble, yet I know that Your Love offers up on the altar of Redemption the sufferings of those who have fallen.
The darkness of evil has blinded my heart’s eyes, yet I know that You make the Light of Jesus’ Cross shine into the soul who allows herself to be lifted up to expect everything from God.
My weakness has made me the prisoner of needs that have proven to be poison rather than food for my soul, yet I know that Your word before God’s throne is going to give me the strength to stand upright in the hour when judgment will be passed on me.
Do offer up my small merits at the Gate to the Kingdom of Justice, oh Mother, so that the King may look down upon me benevolently.
All my sins, mistakes, omissions, faults and shortcomings I bury in the Garden of Your Immaculate Heart, where even thorns yield roses of forgiveness, for upon Your intercession the grace of remission of all my debts will be conferred upon me.
That is why I am calling to You in my soul’s distress, oh Mary, in order that, through Your intercession, the total forgiveness of my obliquities may make me worthy of an eternal dwelling in God’s Garden.
647. ACT OF FORGIVENESS
Eternal Father,
In the name of Jesus Christ, who died for the expiation of all sins, and in the Presence of Mary, the Mother and Co-Redemptrix of all people, I implore that You may grant remission to ..... (name), who has wronged me.
My God, because leniency pleases You so much, I confess before You that I grant forgiveness to my fellow person, so that their soul may be purified through the power of Love.
May this act of forgiveness lead them towards conversion, give them the strength not to repeat their mistakes, and obtain for myself the grace of an ever increasing willingness to forgive, which will break the power of Satan over the souls in the Light of Your infinite Love.
May the Holy Spirit live forever in my fellow person, and in me.
679. ACT OF FORGIVENESS IN CONSECRATION TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary, Flower of perfect Love,
Because I want to be Your child in heart and soul, in words, actions and feelings, I come and implore You for the strength and the Love to be able to totally forgive all people who have ever done me wrong.
Behold the countless wounds of my heart, oh Mother, and see how often they are still bleeding with the poison of bitterness.
See how they keep weakening my soul, how their fever has made my heart ill and how far they have turned my eyes away from the Light.
I implore You, do now eradicate from my heart all dissatisfaction and cast it into the fire of Your all-consuming Love, so that the soil of my soul may be purified forever.
Into Your Heart I deposit my determined will to forgive everything. Every difficulty I may experience with forgiving my fellow man I entrust to Your Love, in order that through Your most powerful intercession my own soul may be justified and my intention to forgive may be used by God for the conversion and acquittal of those who have done me wrong.
Harbouring this intention I want to live and to die.
709. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN THE GRACE OF FORGIVENESS
Dear Mother Mary, Queen of Peace,
Into Your Heart I lay my gloomy disposition, for life has sown into me the seed of dissatisfaction.
Teach me how to forgive, for feelings of grudge make the flowers in my soul wither.
Teach me how to forgive, for clouds of resentment darken the Love in my heart.
Teach me how to forgive, for my inability to give unconditional Love is throttling my peace of mind.
Teach me how to forgive, for the discord with my fellow person makes me a prisoner of my self-love.
Teach me how to forgive, for words of impurity threaten to defile my mouth.
Teach me how to forgive, so that God may be able to forget my own debts.
961. PRAYER TO OBTAIN THE ABILITY
TO PRACTICE MARY’S READINESS TO FORGIVE
Heavenly Mother Mary, Mistress of my soul,
In You the willingness to forgive prevailed in absolute perfection.
All negative things Your Heart was exposed to were transformed by You into Heavenly Light. Every soul that did You wrong was given a place in Your Heart.
Oh Heavenly Queen, reconciliation and forgiveness are forces through which the Light disarms all darkness. Therefore I implore You:
Do grant me the strength to genuinely reconcile with any soul that has done me wrong.
Let Your Heart beat inside of me, so that I may be able to return good for evil, and to reply to darkness by giving Light.
Teach me how not to hold my fellow man’s misconduct towards me against him, in order that God may not hold my own misconduct against me, and that my guilty fellow man himself may, through the offering of my forgiveness, be delivered from being controlled by the darkness.
Heal me of any resentment, grudge, rancor, irreconcilability, vindictiveness or bitterness towards my fellow man. I give You my heart, my entire past and all pains, wounds and disappointments I have ever suffered at the hands of souls.
1026. SHORT PRAYER TO MARY TO OBTAIN FORGIVENESS
Oh Mary, Mistress of my soul, Light of my eyes and my hope for Eternal Life,
I implore You to obtain for me forgiveness for all my aberrations, for every temptation I have given in to, for every moment in which I have let go of Your hand, and for every inch of my way on which I have focused on myself and have denied Your wishes.
Do fulfill me with Your Love and Your strength, so that I may defeat all my weaknesses.
1201. CONSECRATION OF MY HEART TO MARY
TO OBTAIN FORGIVENESS
Oh Mary, beloved Heavenly Mother and Mistress of my entire being,
You know how much I regret every weakness and every shortcoming I have ever noticed in myself, and every violation against God’s Law I was ever guilty of.
My heart aches for every moment of my life in which I cut myself loose from God and from You through sin, vice, indifference and lack of Love.
My heart aches for every moment in which I failed to do the right thing and went ways which were not shone upon by the Light of God and which were unable to yield fruits for my soul.
I feel such remorse over all of this, for I love God and His Work above all things.
God’s benevolence has prevented my mind from remembering every detail of the works of darkness the evil one has ever managed to bring about through me.
Nevertheless I am now longing to be cleansed totally of everything which has gotten the opportunity to leave behind in me traces of darkness.
That is why I am now opening up my heart and my mind to You and imploring You to bring them before the throne of God along with Your perfect Love and the unlimited power of Your intercession, in order that God may be able to read what is going on inside of me, and that He may grant me the true Peace of His final forgiveness.
I implore You to accept the total consecration of my past to You and to link it up with all Confessions I have ever spoken, as the latter are resting in God’s Heart for all eternity. Therefore, do obtain for me the total purification of my journey through life, for I know You will graciously sow roses along the path I have been travelling on.
Endowed with the strength of Your rule in me I am hoping to continue my life in perfect accordance with God’s Laws. Do now take my heart, wash it clean, and give it to my God in reparation for my iniquities, for deep down in my heart I have always wanted to belong to Him alone for all eternity.
1509. PRAYER OF TOTAL FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION
Dear Mother Mary, most sublime Queen of the Kingdom of Eternal Love,
In Your healing hands I lay my heart, which has so frequently been hurt by darkness from human hearts. Make my heart Your undivided property, so that it may bathe in the Light of Your perfect Love and may be ruled by Your unlimited power, which has got the ability to rob every source of darkness of its potential to cause suffering, misery and sorrow.
I implore a beam of Your all healing Love upon each wound human souls have ever inflicted upon me, and a beam of celestial Light in all hearts which have ever caused me suffering, pain or sorrow, so that in these hearts every source of darkness may dry up and they may henceforth be channels of mere joy.
May Your powerful rule over my heart, over every painful memory and over every wound in my inner life undo each and every effect of darkness which was ever directed against me by human souls and thereby contribute to a full conversion of the hearts from which this darkness ever proceeded.
In order that this conversion as well as the complete and final healing of my own inner life may be brought forward I lay in Your most pure Heart my sincere forgiveness to the souls who have ever done me wrong. May they use the Light from this forgiveness to the fullest in practicing a complete abstention from all evil and every tendency to ever again serve the darkness through any actions, words, thoughts, feelings, desires or aspirations.
May this offering be accepted by the almighty God of all Light and Love as my final desire to obtain a complete conciliation with all my fellow people, so as to glorify Him and to obtain an irreversible breach of the power held by the prince of every dark inclination and source of every veil of fog between human hearts.
In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (make the sign of the Cross).
1573. PRAYER OF MEDITATION TO MARY,
QUEEN OF FORGIVENESS
Holy Virgin Mary, my Heavenly Mistress, most perfect Wonder that ever proceeded from God,
My God shows You to me as the Model of total, unconditional forgiveness, the Woman whose Heart was not even able to hate the executioners of Her Divine Son on Mount Calvary, yet on the contrary was torn apart by the loving pains of the soul that bleeds out at seeing the consequences of the murder committed in countless hearts against true Love.
Oh burning and yet undamaged Temple of celestial Love, no grudge, no rancor, no resentment nor any inclination towards revenge or retaliation were ever found in You, but on the contrary unparalleled torments over every lack of Love, every indifference, every pain inflicted by human souls on their fellow creatures and over every negative thought or feeling harboured by human souls towards fellow creatures.
Do singe within every heart the roots of any ill weeds of hate, grudge, vengeance or retaliation with the fire of the Love which can only bloom in a heart that is able to forgive whole-heartedly, for wherever forgiveness will ascend the throne all darkness is forced on its knees before God. No trace of dissatisfaction or suffering would ever again be found in this world if all souls were to make forgiveness the queen of their lives.
With all the strength of my soul I implore Your intercession, oh Queen of the absolutely perfect Love, for true forgiveness is the major Heavenly force with the ability to free any burdened soul from the dungeon of captivity and darkness she builds for herself as soon as she fails to regard any fellow creature as a work of God and thereby as a bearer of the signature of her very God.
May this same Heavenly force light the fire of a sincere Love and the light of an honest understanding within the countless hearts who fail to forgive God Himself because of the many trials they experience and for which they point to Him as the great culprit.
May the whole world thus be delivered from the scourge of unjust condemnation of fellow creatures and of God, for sincere forgiveness will be the pole on which the flag of God’s Kingdom on earth will be hoisted.
2. Making reparation and amends
In the course of a person’s life on earth countless actions are performed, words spoken, thoughts, feelings and desires harboured. A number of them (their share can differ a very great deal from soul to soul) are not completely in accordance with God’s intentions and do not fully serve His Plans and Works. Such deviations from God’s intentions must be made up for, for in the soul’s book of life they are written down as debts towards Divine Law due to the fact they have caused damage to the network of creation (only God can judge what damage and to what extent) or to the fact that, in one way or another, they have not sent any light of self-denying Love into this network.
Those which are not made up for during the soul’s life on earth must be made up for in purgatory – inasmuch as it is at all possible to make up for them yet, all depends on their extent and graveness – because the soul can only enter into Heaven as soon as her Love has become perfect and the soul is no longer mortgaged by any traces of debts towards Divine Justice, and due to the fact a human soul is not supposed to leave a burden of darkness she has caused or promoted herself encumbering creation.
The best means for making reparation and amends is sacramental Confession. However, there are yet other means to complement the Sacrament. The real value of these means lies in the fact they help compensate for the mistakes made throughout life by the Love motivating the soul to make amends for that which she has neglected and for that through which she may have slowed down the accomplishment of God’s Plans. From God’s point of view a soul accomplishes these Plans insofar as she will develop her ability to make full use of true Love she receives and to spread this Love around in an unmitigated form.
The Queen of Heaven stresses the fact a soul must not go on the assumption that Confession will cleanse her totally before God, if at the same time she fails to spontaneously and actively practice towards God and all her fellow creatures a self-denying Love which is as stainless as possible, in all details of life.

519. PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE FROM MY PAST
Dear Mother Mary,
In years gone by, so many people were led onto the path of my life by Divine Providence.
Their names are written in the Book of my life.
Many names I have never known, others have been hidden from my sight by the dust of time. Many of them no longer live in my heart.
Today I consecrate all of them to Your Immaculate Heart, so that You may do for them everything that I, through ignorance or indifference, have failed to do.
May my prayer make up for everything I then failed to do.
May it make up for anything I have done wrong unto them.
May it help them settle towards God the debt of their sins.
May it obtain forgiveness for those who have done wrong unto me.
May it obtain strength and comfort for those who are still alive.
May it bring forward the hour of contemplation of God’s Countenance for those who have passed away.
May it fill their souls as if by a kiss from an invisible friend, an act of charity that yet brings our meeting in days of yore to fruition on the path of their lives, which Eternal Wisdom has taken away from mine.
3 x Hail Mary...
690. SACRIFICIAL PRAYER FOR THE REPARATION OF SINS
Dear Mother Mary,
I implore Your intercession to obtain for me forgiveness for every moment of my life that has displeased You and Jesus, for every tear I have cost You, and for every occasion on which I have neglected to do the right things.
For all of this I want to compensate You with the gift of my life, with all the Love of my heart, and with all the pain over my own imperfections.
May the night of unwisdom, sin and temptation be broken within me by the beams from God’s Spirit for the rise of the dawn of a new life in virtue.
Do turn my soul into a treasury of strength, perseverance, wisdom and Divine grace, so that the Light from Your Heart may be able to light the fire of sanctity in me, for the glorification of the Sufferings the Saviour has accomplished for my benefit before my soul was created.
731. PRAYER OF EXPIATION FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE
Most Holy Virgin Mary, my most pure Mother and Refuge of sinners,
In my soul’s distress I throw myself at Your feet to give my life to You.

I implore Your powerful intercession to obtain forgiveness for everything through which I have ever failed to practice charity and Love towards. I regret all the pain, sorrow, grief, harm and inconvenience I have caused any fellow creature.
I give You my deep remorse over everything through which I have increased my debts towards God.
Queen of Heaven, in You I trust and hope for the remission of my sins and for the purification of my soul, so that I may be saved.

873. PRAYER TO HEAL THE TRACES OF MY SINS
Dear Mother Mary, perfect soul created in the sanctity of the Immaculate Conception,
In deep feelings of remorse over all the sins of my life I want to wash my soul in the healing water from the ocean of Your Heart, so thoroughly filled with God’s omnipotence.
Do weep with me, oh tender Refuge of sinners, for even my tears are stained. Do pour the infinite redeeming power of Your Sorrows out into my heart and soul like a waterfall of salvation and healing.
How deeply do I regret all expressions of any lack of Love my soul has ever been guilty of towards God and His creatures. How much the memories of them are tormenting my poor heart. What a fever of restlessness they are kindling inside my mind.
Oh do wash me in the water of God’s forgiveness.
Do anoint all the wounds of my heart.
Do heal all the wounds I have inflicted upon my fellow creatures, and all the lashes I have administered to Jesus through my sins and iniquities.
Oh Mary, in You the breeze of refreshment is rushing, carrying the perfume of Eternal Bliss. Do blow over the field of my soul the resuscitating breeze from the Holy Spirit. Truly be the Mistress of my heart and soul, so that Your most holy soul may unlock inside of me the paths that will lead me to reparation through the perfect offering of my entire life at Your feet.
974. ACT OF REPARATION FOR UNCONFESSED SINS
Dear Mother Mary, Bridge between the souls and God,
In reaction to the Most Holy Trinity’s boundless Love I give You my remorse over all the sins and shortcomings, errings and deceptions of my entire life.
Do offer to Divine Justice my remorse and all the Love of my heart together with Your infinite merits and with the infinite merits of the suffering Jesus, to make amends for the souls that go lost forever day after day.
For the immeasurable burden of sins through which countless souls damn themselves forever, oh God, forgive us.
For the heavy burden of all the sins of all mankind of all ages which were never confessed, oh God, forgive us.
For the ever growing mountain of sins distorting all of creation and undermining God’s Works and Plans, oh God, forgive us.
Oh eternal Mother of Sorrows, may Your tears and the Blood of Christ cleanse the world of the mud of the sins of all the ages, and free all of creation of the coat of darkness that is suffocating it, so that the Light of God’s Love may set fire to all hearts.
Do henceforth save me from committing any sin, in order that God’s Mercy may be aroused, and the serious wounds inflicted upon His Justice may be healed for the salvation and conversion of many, and that the gates of hell may be closed for the glorification of Divine Light.
986. REPARATORY CONSECRATION OF THE ENTIRE
BURDEN OF SINS OF MY LIFE
Dear Mother Mary,
How heavily my soul is sighing under the effects of her every stumbling on her path through life and every deviation from it.
You have been granted the power to purge any impurity, and to heal the soul of everything which has injured or poisoned her or is still encumbering her.
That is why I am now entrusting to the holy ground of Your Heart: all sins of my life and all consequences thereof for my soul and for my fellow creatures, all my omissions, all my erring, all efects of the weaknesses, habits, inclinations and temptations of my entire life, and all effects of my vices and of every occasion on which I have used my free will to imitate the bad and neglect the good.
Oh Refuge of sinners, Comforter of the afflicted and powerful Advocate for the soul laden with debts, do take my impurities up into the Chalice of Your Immaculate Heart, and wash it in the Blood of the Merciful Christ, so that my soul may be thoroughly purified and delivered.
Do wash any defilement of my journey through life in Your tears, and cover every unfruitful inch of it with the flowers of Your intercession, for my heart has soaked the soil of my soul with the tears of my remorse.
Do obtain for me total forgiveness, for in God’s Presence I confess all my aberrations and call down upon them the cloak of Your stainless Love.
Be the perfect complement of my soul’s poverty, for I regret everything that has ever separated me from God and through which I put His grace to shame.
Do cleanse the face of my soul, so that I may be justified before God, for in You, oh Heavenly Dawn above my path through life, I put all my hope.
1207. SUPPLICATION TO BE GRANTED THE OPPORTUNITY
TO MAKE AMENDS FOR AN UNFULFILLED MISSION IN LIFE
My God, Maker of the Plan which is to bring the treasures of sanctity to all souls,
Through the perfect Love of Mary, my Mistress and my Queen and the Mother of the Redeemer, I implore Your forgiveness for not having persevered on the path provided for me by Your infallible Wisdom and announced to me by Your Spirit, and for having chosen a different way.
I implore You ardently: do grant me also on this new way the opportunities to make fruitful contributions that I was expected to make within the framework of the real mission provided for me, in order that I may yet be able to do exactly that which was to be part of my actual mission in life.
I implore the continuous guidance and rule by the Mistress of all souls, to whom I surrender with all my being and my entire way through life.
May She obtain for me the strength and the support to do all You will yet wish me to do by virtue of Your Justice and Your Mercy, until I will have made the contribution I was expected to make from the outset.
May She bring to bloom again within me my true peace with Your gracious Divinity as well as with myself, and on the hard way of reparation take possession of my heart, in order that through the force of true Love I may bring new joy to Your Heart and yet give You everything I have refrained from giving You so far.
May the merger of my complete surrender with Your total forgiveness set my soul free.
1285. ACT OF REPARATION FOR MY MISTAKES
Dear Mother Mary, Golden Bridge towards the Salvation of my soul,
God has given me this one single life with the vocation to contribute to the accomplishment of His Plan of Salvation for the whole of creation.
In order for me to accomplish this holy vocation I have received a conscience which keeps urging me to comply with God’s Laws and rules for a holy life, as well as the ability to truly love, so that every moment of the day and the night I may be a beam of light and joy for all my fellow creatures.
Through these Divine gifts I am a child of the Light, that is called upon to paralyze all darkness in the world and not to allow it access to my heart and mind, for the darkness is the enemy of everything that is Love, and therefore the source of all misery among the creatures.
Oh Heavenly Mother, I have sinned. Time and time again I have silenced the voice of my conscience in my heart, and I have made the mistakes that have made me a servant of darkness.
Time and time again I have refused to listen to the advice from souls who loved me so much as not to be able to leave me behind in the swamp of my vices, and I have failed to avail myself of their help to return to the way of true Love.
Time and time again I have cast off in indifference the invaluable gift God gave me through the Love from my fellow creatures.
Time and time again I only satisfied my own needs and would not notice the wounds and the damage my behaviour, my words and my indifference have inflicted to my fellow creatures.
Oh Refuge of sinners, do salvage my soul from this misery, and set my heart free from this darkness in which I have buried myself, for my own mistakes have deprived me of true happiness.
Do deliver me from my indifference to the needs and the Love for my fellow creatures, for my insensitivity has made me unhappy and is killing my soul.
Do heal me of my blindness to the actual purpose for which God have given me this life, for instead of contributing to the accomplishment of His Plan I have been making my own rules. Oh let me see what I have done wrong, for each mistake is the fruit of a lack of Love.
Kindle in me a thorough understanding of all the mistakes of my life, a sincere remorse for them, and a burning desire to remedy them, both towards God and towards my fellow creatures.
Oh Heavenly Mother, I give You all ill luck and all sufferings I have inflicted upon others as well as upon myself. Do cast it into the fire of Your Heart, so that it may be replaced by Love and Light for the world.
I promise You to make amends for everything I have done wrong in my life, by henceforth becoming a source of help, joy and true Love to all my fellow creatures. Therefore I implore Your assistance and protection, in order that I should not bring yet more darkness upon my environment and upon my own soul by making more mistakes.
Oh Mary, Mother of hope, do purify me of everything which has ever led me away from God’s ways, so that I may convey to the world the Love God has sown into me, but which I have been burying underneath my mistakes.
| The following prayer was inspired by the Mistress of all souls in preparation for the hour of death. As man is unknowing as to the day and the hour when God will be calling him back it is advisable that every soul should say this prayer as soon as it crosses her path. After this powerful confession (which actually serves as an acknowledgement and a commitment alike) had been inspired the Queen of Heaven spoke the following words:
"It is very useful that, prior to entrusting this prayer to My Heart, the soul should consecrate herself formally to Me. She can do so, for instance, through prayer flower nr. 764 (Act of total consecration to Mary as my Heavenly Mistress). It is of paramount importance that the soul should actually practice this consecration consistently in all situations of her life from that moment onward, as only the way in which the soul will deal with every situation of her life will determine to what extent she is truly consecrated to Me. After the Queen of Heaven had spoken these words She was asked if this confession can be prayed also for the benefit of a fellow person who is in imminent danger of dying, yet who, on account of being ill, weakened, anaesthetized or on whatever account is not able to speak for themselves. This is what She answered: "Praying this confession on behalf of a fellow person can release similar graces for this soul. Such graces are secondary, however, which means they are not acquired through personal engagement. Nevertheless these graces will be valuable for this soul to the extent her heart is in a disposition of pure Love. This disposition, combined with the degree of sincere charity on the part of the soul(s) who is/are saying this confession on behalf of this fellow person, will determine the actual grace the latter is going to derive from the prayer. Eventually all of this is strictly a matter between the soul concerned and God". |
1361. COMMITMENT TO MAKING ATONEMENT
TOWARDS THE DIVINE JUDGE
Dear Mother Mary, powerful Mediatrix and Advocate, Guide on my journey on this earth and Mistress of my path through life,
Filled with confidence in Your concern for my eternal fate I implore the deployment of Your unlimited power before God’s throne in the hour in which the Divine Judge will pass judgment on my life.
In Your hands I lay my deepest heartache over every violation and neglect committed during my life against God’s Law, and I implore You most subserviently that Your perfect Love may complement all that is lacking for my Love to meet my Creator’s expectations.
Do preserve all of this in Your burning Heart until the hour of my death, so that, before the throne of my Judge, all darkness may be burnt from my poor soul in the fire of Your perfect Love and of my pain and remorse over:
- every action, every omission or every word through which I have ever caused a fellow creature pain or suffering, harm or damage in any way whatsoever, whether I was aware of it or not;
- every thought, every feeling, every desire or every impure disposition of the heart through which I have ever caused a fellow creature harm, whether I was aware of this or not, or through which I have ever wished evil or bad luck on a fellow creature;
- every moment in which I have ever failed to live for the advancement of the well-being, happiness or joy of my fellow creatures, yet I was rather thinking of satisfying the needs I thought I had;
- every moment I have ever failed to be a source of light, warmth, peace or security to a fellow creature, yet I was rather a source of darkness, coldness and restlessness, or I haver ever increased the burden of a fellow creature’s life;
- every moment in which I have ever robbed a fellow creature of courage, hope or the joys for living, or I have in any way whatsoever burdened a fellow creature by negative thoughts, dispositions or words, thereby thwarting its bloom or undermining its faith in God’s Love and care;
- every moment in which I have ever been indifferent to a fellow creature’s fate, situation, needs or well-being, and I have failed to feel any remorse over the consequences of my doings and of all my dark inner dispositions;
- every moment in which I have ever regarded my own material benefits as more important than the bloom of my soul, in which I have ever pursued the satisfaction of worldly interests, or I have failed to deny myself whole-heartedly for the benefit of a fellow creature;
- every moment in which I have ever considered myself to be important, every moment in which I was proud or arrogant, in which I elevated myself, have aspired for power or admiration, or I have abused any worldly position, role, gift or talent to humiliate or manipulate a fellow creature;
- every moment in which I have ever abused a gift or talent to gain personal benefits instead of using them for the fulfilment of my mission in life as a tool for the accomplishment of God’s Works and Plans of Love;
- every moment in which I have ever resisted a trial, a cross or a setback, or in which I have made any fellow creature a victim of my own trial, cross or setback, instead of accepting the trial, cross or setback in gratitude as an opportunity granted to me by God to help redeem His creation from its misery and to earn Eternal Bliss;
- every moment in which I have failed to treat a fellow creature or God’s nature with care or tenderness, and in which I have failed to recognize that in this world everything only belongs to God and that it is merely through His grace that I am allowed to deal with certain things and creatures on my path through life;
- every situation in which I have ever done as I pleased instead of living the way God expects every soul to live, or in which I have wilfully ignored God’s Laws of Love for God and for His Works and Plans, and His Laws of charity and self-denial.
Powerful Custodian of my soul, I bury this confession in the furnace of Your Heart so as to bring tribute to the Sufferings Jesus Christ went through for my benefit, and as a contribution to the atonement for every trace of darkness I have brought upon creation, upon my surroundings and upon my own soul in the course of my life. May this confession be poured out into the Heart of my God through Your most holy mouth, as a testimony against the darkness which so often tried to separate me from Him. I seal these words as a holy covenant in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (make the sign of the Cross).
1655. ACT OF REPARATION OF ANY SUFFERINGS AND DAMAGE
AND OF ANY OMISSION
Holy Virgin Mary, to whom I have entrusted my entire being and my entire journey through life for the purpose of being able to accomplish with the greatest possible fruitfulness the mission for which God has given me this life, to You I come tormented by the deepest heartaches.
For every moment in which I have ever caused sufferings or harm to any fellow creature, even if I was not aware of it, I implore yet both God and the fellow creature concerned for forgiveness and envelop this fellow creature in the fire of Love from my repentant heart, in order that its wounds and pains may be healed.
For every moment in which I have ever denied my Love to any fellow creature, failed to give it my support or feelings of security, failed to contribute to its inner peace, let it down or caused it grief, fear or heartache, and thus failed to make God’s Presence felt, I implore forgiveness and opportunities to make amends both towards God and the fellow creature concerned.
In order that my desire to make amends may be fulfilled I implore You, oh perfect Queen of creation and of immaculate Love, that You may graciously lay down before the throne of Eternal Love the humble offering of all and any burdens my journey through life may yet bring me.
May my torments over all imperfections of my inner life as of the very first hour of my journey through life yet bring Light and Peace wherever I myself have once brought darkness and grief.
I lay this act down before the Triune God as a profession of my sin against perfect Love and of my heartache and remorse over the wounds I have thereby inflicted upon Him, who never ever intended anything else but the perfect happiness for myself as well as for any creature that may have suffered by my transgressions against Love.
♥ ♥ ♥
In het above prayer the Queen of Heaven inspires to implore opportunities to make amends towards every creature that may have suffered by the praying soul’s violating God’s Law of Love.
It is important to realize that making amends for one’s faults 'face to face' is not always possible. If it is not, making up for one’s faults can be done by sincere offerings of one’s own trials with the intention that the latter may in any way buy healing or compensation for every 'victim' of any transgressions in the course of your life. In that case you then endure certain inconveniences, burdens, setbacks and crosses with the intention that, because of them, the fellow creatures concerned may experience from God Himself any form of soothing in their hearts or assistance in enduring their own burdens in life.
This is how you can contribute to repairing damages you yourself may have caused to the network of creation through any fault, shortcoming or omission.
1656. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN THE GRACE OF REPARATION
FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE
Oh Mary, only created soul without sin and therefore Work of wonder of absolutely stainless Love, to You I come with a heart looking for ways to make amends for everything I have ever done to the Triune God in His Heart, in His incarnated body and in His creatures.
O Daughter of the Eternal Father, I implore the grace of getting to see my past through the eyes of God Himself, in order that I may know what harm or sufferings I may ever have inflicted upon any fellow creatures and upon Works and Plans of God and that I may be able to settle old debts by planting roses in all places on my path through life where there used to be thistles.
Oh Mother of the Divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, I implore the grace of finding in You the strength to perfectly fulfill God’s Law of Love through any sin, vice, indifference of selfishness, for I want to live and to die for nothing other than selfish Love.
Oh Bride of the Holy Spirit, I implore the grace of obtaining an understanding of the most profound and most hidden aspects of my inner life, of my weaknesses, of my inclinations and habits which have proved unfruitful or have caused harm or sufferings, and of anything which causes my soul to deviate from the image of God and His infallible desires and expectations, in order that I may properly fulfill my vocation to live in God’s image before the hour comes in which I am to account for the way I have been dealing with the gift of my life.
May I, in the hour of my departure, not leave behind one single creature whose heart is encumbered with any pain ever inflicted upon it by me.
♥ ♥ ♥
For years the Queen of Heaven and earth has been emphasizing the inestimable importance of a thorough preparation for the soul’s encounter with God in the hour following her transition from earthly life to eternity.
Every human soul is on earth only for the purpose of helping materialize God’s Works and Plans of perfect Love and of helping unlock the endless gifts of grace bestowed by God upon all of creation, i.e. helping to make their effects within creation more tangible. The soul is given but one single life on earth to fulfill this lifelong mission, and she will only be able to do so by completely fulfilling the Basic Divine Law of self-denying Love towards God, towards all of His Works and Plans and towards every one of her fellow creatures (fellow people as well as animals, even the natural environment).
The following prayer was inspired by Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ and Mistress of all souls, within the framework of preparing the soul for Eternal Life, and on this occasion She once again stresses the importance of souls not waiting to use prayers like this one until they believe to have reasons for expecting the end of their lives to be drawing near, as no soul has any certainty as to the day and the hour God, in His infallible Love and Wisdom, will determine for her encounter with Him in the hereafter. In this context the Queen of Heaven refers to Preparing for the end of life, which She inspired earlier and into which, by Her order, the following prayer flower 1729 will also be inserted.
1729. PRAYER OF PURIFICATION IN PREPARATION FOR
THE JUDGEMENT ON MY LIFE
Oh Holy Virgin Mary, powerful, perfectly holy and eternally sinless Queen of all creatures of God,
God has sent me into the world to live one life at the service of accomplishing His absolutely perfect Plan of Salvation for all creation by a persistent practice of the Basic Divine Law of perfect self-denying Love towards Him, towards all of His Works and towards all my fellow creatures.
So often, sometimes unconsciously and unwittingly, I have failed to fulfill this lifelong mission, or have fulfilled it but poorly. Filled with remorse, with the pain over the impossibility to undo my failures, and of the desire to yet make amends for my shortcomings, in a spirit of sincere self-abasement I lay into Your most holy hands:
every occasion on which I failed to bestow upon any creature entrusted to me by Divine Providence an adequate self-denying Love, appropriate care and/or feelings of security and general well-being, so that by my failure to do so I have fallen short of fulfilling God’s Law of true self-denying Love and of fulfilling a sacred covenant with one or more fellow creatures.
May my sincere remorse ignite inside my soul a fire that burns all and any pains my failures, faults and imperfections may ever have inflicted upon the Heart of my God.
May, through Your power, the fire of this remorse be spread all over creation and all of my fellow creatures, and may it ignite hotbeds of heat and Light through which even now pains, sorrows and suffering are consumed in the hearts of fellow creatures that have ever suffered because of my failures.
May this supplication glorify the omnipotence and the perfection of the Law God has decreed for the purpose of making all of His creation a Kingdom of perfect happiness and imperturbable Peace, and may it burn inside my soul any stain by which, through my violations of the Law of true Love, I have disfigured and wounded my own soul.
1733. PRAYER OF EXPIATION FOR ALL VIOLATIONS OF MY LIFE
Oh Holy Virgin Mary, perfectly sinless Daughter of the Eternal God,
Through Your most pure Heart I confess before my God, my Creator and my Saviour my deepest remorse on account of the fact that, at so many points along my path through life, I have allowed my heart to fail to fulfil the missions of Love He had entrusted to me for this one and only life.
My Mother in Jesus Christ, my Queen and my Mistress,
To You I give my entire being, everything I do or fail to do, my entire inner life and every single yard I am still to complete on my journey towards the Eternal Judge’s throne in the Paradise beyond the horizon, so that You may guide me towards the only way of the Light without shadows.
I confess my deepest heartache over each moment of my life:
- in which I have put my mission in life at the service of God’s Works to shame by failing to be a channel of Love and Light but rather being a channel of suffering and darkness through any action, omission, thought, feeling or desire harming any fellow creature; and
- in which I have failed to fill any fellow creature with feelings of warmth, peace, security and well-being, but on the contrary have caused this fellow creature’s heart or body to experience suffering, pain, sorrow, fear or uneasiness, or have nourished in this creature the feeling that God’s Love and protection had abandoned it and that it was not worthy of being loved.
Through Your spotless intermediary I implore Divine Providence to grant me opportunities to make amends by being to my God as well as to every fellow creature I will be encountering at any given point a sower of the seed of Love and happiness my God wants to make bloom among all of His creatures, so that I, too, may one day depart from this life with a heart filled with signs of the fact I have finally and unconditionally embraced True Love.
Oh perfect Queen of Love, may this confession be transformed by You into an embrace of healing warmth for all creatures on God’s earth, in glorification of the all-encompassing Love of the One who has endowed them with life.
3. Direct preparation for the last stage of life
Divine Providence has even provided for yet additional means to help the souls come to terms with their entire life from a spiritual point of view, in order that they may be able to appear before the throne of God with a clean slate as soon as their journey through life has come to an end. The entire journey through life can explicitly be consecrated to Mary, the soul can prepare a thorough Confession covering her entire life, the soul can try to make things up directly to fellow creatures she has harmed or caused pain, etcetera. Above all the soul can aim for a radical turnaround in her entire inner life and begin a life of sincere self-denying Love and service towards all of her fellow creatures and towards God Himself, in order to yet increase the value and fruitfulness of her life in the eyes of God and transform herself to the highest possible degree into a beacon of Light for her surroundings.
Basically the entire journey through life should be one ongoing preparation for an honourable transition to Eternal Life, and that is what the soul can make it by practicing the purest self-denying Love in every detail. The soul must try to live in such a way as to be ready to step before God at any moment and receive a favourable judgment on the journey she has just ended. No element of it that is filled with darkness can be undone. Owing to a Divine Mystery, however, such elements can yet be turned against the darkness even years later, provided the heart harbours a sincere desire to straighten things out with God and with all her fellow creatures and she feels a genuine remorse about her own debts towards them.
Any trace of darkness left behind in the soul must be washed out for God to be able to judge that the soul has duly fulfilled Divine Law in the course of her life on earth. It is then of the essence that the soul should no longer even for a moment put off her focusing on true Love undividedly. Nothing insults God more than a soul living so calculatingly as to keep deferring her thorough and unconditional conversion believing there is yet time to start doing the proper thing. Such disposition provides clear evidence of selfishness and indifference as to God’s interests and desires. Such a soul is actually trying to get her own worldly needs satisfied and does not feel any real need to give God anything, she only wants to get everything both on earth and in eternity. In this respect the Mistress of all souls once raised the question: "What would a soul harbouring this disposition ever expect of an Eternal Life in the Presence of Someone (God) she does not even love or towards whom she is totally indifferent?"
The following prayers are very suitable as auxiliaries to purify the soul in time:
20. Consecration of my entire life to Mary
272. Consecration of my sunset years to Mary
426. Supplication to Jesus to obtain Eternal Life

20. CONSECRATION OF MY ENTIRE LIFE TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary,
I offer and consecrate to You everything I have never offered or consecrated to You before, in order that You should possess each moment of my life.
May my entire life thus be a humble gift to You.
May the moments I spent well be flowers of joy to You,
and through God’s gracious forgiveness and because of my deep feelings of remorse, do turn those I spent less well into flowers of joy in Your purifying hands.
Oh tender loving Mother, do thus prepare me for Eternal Glory, together with You before the Face of God.
272. CONSECRATION OF MY SUNSET YEARS TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary,
I have nearly completed the itinerary God has printed upon my soul.
I have known both joy and sorrow, just like You have.
God has loved me infinitely more than I ever suspected. The day is drawing near, when the full glory of His Love will be beaming all over my soul for all eternity.
At Your hand, oh Mother of every human soul, I want to approach the Land of Promise God has prepared for me, where there are no clouds and where flowers do not wither. Only if You take my hand will I feel secure when in danger, for my journey on this earth has left me so weakened. That is why I consecrate myself to You in this evening hour of my life, in order that my tired heart may find peace and I may find grace with God when the stars will be greeting me.
Oh Mary, You followed me from my very first little screams. For all my life you have been waiting for me to call You 'Mother'. Now I am giving You everything I have always failed to give You.
Every smile, every moment of silent euphoria I lay in Your maternal Heart which beheld little Jesus in His cradle.
All worries about my beloved ones I lay in Your caring Heart which searched for the missing twelve year old Jesus in the deepest sorrow.
Every grief, every heartache I lay in Your torn and sorrowful Heart at the foot of Jesus’ Cross.
Every moment of my doubting God and my Eternal Bliss I lay in Your Heart of Holy Saturday, which knew that Jesus was going to resurrect and that death is not the end but the beginning of something infinitely beautiful for whomever has got faith.
Every pain, every illness I lay in Your most pure hands. Do tie them at the redeeming Cross of Your Son, so that they may serve the expiation of all the things I regret about my life.
I give You the joyful and carefree heart of my early days, when it still seemed to me the sun would never set.
I give You all my days on which clouds cast shadows on my mood and rain was a mere reflection of the tears inside my heart.
Now I give You the evening kissing my path through life. Oh Mother, how beautiful is the sun when You are greeting my heart before dusk falls.
I give You my regrets about all the things I neglected in my weakness, and my remorse about all the sins that have stained my soul. Do wash me, oh tender Mother, in Your tears of Love and conciliation, and I will live forever.
More than ever in my so eventful days on the paths of God I now want to be Yours, oh Queen of Heaven, Mother of Jesus and my Mother, for You have the power to free me of my debts before the face of God and the Love to cover me up in the bed of celestial serenity, in which all the pains of the world are anointed by the roses of Redemption Jesus and You planted for me on Mount Calvary.
426. SUPPLICATION TO JESUS TO OBTAIN ETERNAL LIFE
Oh Jesus Christ, blessed Messiah, Son of Eternal Love,
In the Presence of Mary, my Mother, Co-Redemptrix, Advocate and Mediatrix of all Graces, I implore You to bestow upon myself, my beloved ones and my enemies the fruits of Your Work of Redemption.
Jesus, You who died on the Cross, do grant total forgiveness for all the sins of my life and for all the sins committed by my beloved ones, but also for all the sins committed by those who have done me wrong and by those who will yet do me wrong in the future.
Jesus, You who have risen from the dead, do grant me and all my beloved ones, but also those who do not love me the grace to sin no more, so that we may defeat the death threatening our souls.
Jesus, You who have ascended into Heaven, do prepare a place in Heaven for me and for all my beloved ones, but also for those who do not love me.
Filled with this desire I give You my soul, the souls of my beloved ones and the souls of my enemies, through Mary, who suffered with You, was taken up into Heaven by You in a state of glory, and was crowned by You.
517. COVENANT OF SURRENDERING MY LIFE TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary,
I come and lay my entire life in Your hands as a all-embracing complete gift of myself to You within a sacred and everlasting covenant.
I give You all my actions, words, thoughts, feelings, wishes and desires of my entire life. Do purify them so as to make them perfect.
I give You all my sufferings, pains, illnesses, grief, moments of feeling depressed, moments of fatigue and weariness, anxieties, fears, injuries, all insults I have endured, all humiliations and disappointments of my entire life. Do accept them as means of redeeming the debts of my soul and those incurred by others.
I give You all my joys, good deeds, acts of charity, all my moments of piety, all my sacrifices and prayers. Do accept them for the glorification of God and so as to obtain through them graces of conversion.
I give You all my sins, mistakes, omissions and aberrations of my entire life. Do compensate them before Divine Justice through the infinite power of Your intercession.
In order for this sacred covenant to be sealed, I give You the complete, unconditional and eternal possession of my entire being, soul, mind, heart and body, so that I may live, die, and enter Eternal Life in Your hands.
544. PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT IN PREPARATION
FOR THE SENTENCE TO BE RENDERED ON MY LIFE
Beloved Holy Spirit, Light of my soul,
I implore You to enlighten my spirit so that I may recognize my faults, that I may remember all my sins and that I may gain a clear understanding of all my flaws and shortcomings.
Do ignite my heart, in order that only the will to do the right things may live inside of me, and that as of today Love may fertilize my soul with the seed of celestial Life.
Do inspire me constantly to practice true sanctity in my behaviour and in all my words, thoughts and desires.
Do cleanse me of all and any burdens and oppressions from my past which I am not aware of, and do grant me the gift of inner Light, in order that I may see any stain defiling my soul, so that, through expiation, prayer, remorse and the Sacrament of conciliation, I may bring my soul to a perfect state of grace before God will call me to be judged for eternity.
This desire I bring before You on the intercession of the Holy Virgin Mary, my Mother and Mediatrix before the throne of God, in whom I have put my undivided trust.
548. PRAYER TO MARY IN PREPARATION FOR
THE FINAL HOURS OF MY LIFE
Dear Mother Mary, Guide on my path through life and Queen of a blissful death,
My entire life, past, present and future, I lay in Your Heart as a sacraficial offering, in order that, through the power of Your prayer, it may be made comformable to the intentions pursued with with them.
I put all my confidence in Your intercession, oh Mother, so that my soul may be purified before the night of my life will fall.
Do take me up into the Light of Your Love, so that I may accomplish my journey in a state of grace.
Through Your noticeable guidance, do deliver me from all my fears for the future and for the unknown land I am heading for.
Be my refuge in my last hours, and do guide me gently across the threshold of eternity, secured against the final attacks from evil.
On the merits of all my sufferings and all the burdens of my life, and through my being totally consecrated to You, I implore You the favour of being informed of the imminent call by my Creator, so that I may be prepared for my last journey, for I know neither the day nor the hour.
Do now wash my soul, oh Mother, and clothe her with Your virtues, so that her beauty may bring Light over God’s world, and the judgment she will receive before the highest throne may also sing the praises of Your glory.
810. NOVENA IN PREPARATION FOR A CONFESSION
COVERING MY ENTIRE LIFE
(Myriam van Nazareth)
Dear Mother Mary, Mother of Mercy,
With a heart filled with remorse I take refuge to You, in order that Your incomparably powerful intercession may obtain for me the delivery from the burdens which have been encumbering my soul for so long.
My entire life up to this day I now lay in Your hands, so that You may guide me towards the Sacrament of reconciliation with God.
Do open up my own heart to me, so that I may discover my sins, weaknesses, mistakes, vices and shortcomings of my entire life, and that I may understand why they have grieved God and caused pain or harm to my fellow creature.
Do lead me towards total purification of my soul.
Oh may I bury my entire past in Your powerful Heart, where it can be purified in the fire of true Heavenly Love.
Do offer my remorsefulness to God in redemption of the grace of obtaining a rebirth from Your Heart, so that my soul may be reconciled with God.
May I, through Your intermediary, be delivered from the burden of every memory of sin, in order that, as of my encounter with God in Confession, I may be able to bloom like on the first day of a new life.
Do ignite my heart with true Love, so that I may appear before Jesus like a new person, for it is He who has called me to this from the Cross of my Salvation.
908. CONSECRATION OF MY PAST TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary,
With all my Love I now lay down at Your feet my entire path through life, the path on which so many beams of sunlight have mixed with so many tears so as to create a rainbow of the hope I put in You.
May I pour out my heart into You, for it has gone through so many things since the hour I was born.
May I empty my mind into You, for it is laden with so many impressions and memories.
Every inch of the path through life Divine Providence has outlined inside my soul I consecrate to Your perfect rule and to the fullness of Your liberating Love.
I give You all my moments of being blinded.
I give You all my wounds.
I give You all my faults, flaws, omissions, mistakes and sins.
Every joy which ever shone on my path, and every sorrow which ever overshadowed it, I bury inside Your heart this very minute.
I accept You as the Mistress of my entire past, in order that every bit of it may be cleansed of all that has ever oppressed my soul, my heart and my mind.
Every seed cast into me by dark forces, every root planted inside of me by temptation and every trace the world has left inside of me and that has troubled my heart, I now entrust to Your redeeming Intercession and Your Work of purification.
May Your unlimited power cleanse every single hour of my life up to and including this very hour of every stain, and obtain for me remission of all my debts towards God.
Oh perfect Guide and Ruler of my journey through life, do point me towards the way of making amends which will truly set me free and will make me ready for a rebirth from Your Heart, so that I may henceforth live in the disposition of true Peace Jesus has prepared for those who sincerely follow Him.
1089. CONSECRATION OF MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary,
God predestines the path through each soul’s life to be an expression of His perfect Love and Wisdom. The soul tends to defile this path as her feet progress on it. Therefore I implore You:
Do repeat my journey through life, from the hour of my birth up to this very moment, so that Your most holy feet may undo the effects of any defilements and may erase all traces of darkness my life has left behind along this path.
Deign to undo the unfavourable effects of all my actions, thoughts, feelings, words, desires and aspirations through which I may have deviated from God’s Law, I may have failed to promote His Plans and Work or may even have opposed them, and have thereby even decreased the fruitfulness of my own journey through life.
Behold the ill weeds on my path through life. Do pull them up in the infinite power of Your Intercession, and do coat my path with the flowers of Your perfect virtues.
Behold the desert ground of my days of drought of heart and soul. Do sprinkle it even today with the water of Divine Life from Your Heart.
Behold the quicksand of all my violations of God’s Law. Do transform it, even now, into fertile soil by reshaping my inner life after Your image.
May all my sufferings and trials of this day, and all my penance, make amends for my transgressions.
By virtue of this consecration, do bring Love and Light wherever my life was filled with darkness, so that my heart and my mind may be delivered from the chains of my past.
May henceforth my path run through Your Heart, so that it may put all darkness to shame.
1108. CONSECRATION OF A WRONG DECISION MADE IN THE PAST
Mary, my Heavenly Mother and Mistress of all souls,
Due to my failing to see the signs of God’s Light I made a mistake at one of the cross-roads on my path through life (at this point, if you wish, you can mention the mistake you would like to consecrate).
At this very moment I give You the hour in which I made this decision, which has caused both me and You so much pain. Do shine on that hour the Light of Divine Mercy, so that every trace of dark influences may be dispelled from it.
Deign to join me in repeating in spirit the journey of the time that has passed ever since, so that You may be able to replace all stones You find on the path by flowers.
Do cleanse my spirit of all traces of this painful memory, and cleanse my heart of all negative feelings this experience has left behind in me and is still arousing today.
Do also envelop the consequences of this mistake in the transforming power of Your Love, so that it may no longer separate me from salvation.
Be from now one the actual Mistress of my mind, my heart, my will and my body, so that I may do only the things You wish me to do, and in so doing I may be purified and healed.
1122. SUPPLICATION TO MARY TO OBTAIN HEALING
FROM THE TRAUMAS OF MY LIFE
Dear Heavenly Mother Mary,
The backpack of my memories has become heavy.
Many dark clouds cover the gardens of my years gone by.
My path through life has made me stumble so often it seems to me my soul is injured beyond repair.
I implore You: Accept my will to be healed, so that I may actually feel I am Yours.
Do empty my backpack of everything which has been poisoning my heart and has been oppressing my mind, and replace all of this by the food of Your perfect maternal Love, so that I may regain the strength to bloom again.
Do take the many stones You find on my path into Your hands, so that they may turn into gold, for everything that has been touched by You can only prepare for my soul the treasures of true happiness.
Do make me focus my eyes on the sun at the end of my path, beaming from the gates of Paradise, so that the clouds may no longer pose a threat to me.
In Your Love I will believe. No storm will ever again make me falter.
Do teach me how to love You the way You loved me in the hours when I had forgotten about You, for whenever Love will merge our hearts, You will be the Heavenly Source of my happiness.
1143. SUPPLICATION TO MARY TO OBTAIN PURIFICATION
OF MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE
Oh Mary, my Heavenly Mother,
I accept and profess You undividedly as the Mistress of my entire being.
I lay my heart, my spirit, my body, my will and my soul down at Your feet.
Do rule in me, purify me totally, and control all of my memories.
The entire path of my life I lay underneath Your feet, as of the hour of my birth up to the present moment.
Do stroll all over it, every single yard, and change any way You please everything that does not fit in with the plan God has been harbouring for my soul all along, so that every inch of the way may become fruitful.
Do sprinkle with the flowers of Your sanctity and of Your eternal merits every sinful spot of my path.
Do fertilize my entire path through life with the humus of the sufferings, the illnesses, the burdens, the moments of feeling tired or exhausted, the sorrows and moral wounds of all the days of my life.
If my sufferings should not be sufficient as means to totally cleanse and fertilize my path with I implore You to obtain for me by virtue of my heart-felt remorse and all my attempts to sincerely forgive all my debtors, the Mercy of God, in order that His Divine Blood may complement my nothingness because I have given to You as my Mistress the entire path through my life.
1145. SUPPLICATION TO MARY TO OBTAIN
THE PURIFICATION OF MY PAST
Oh Mary, Mistress of my soul,
My entire life and my entire being, all my dispositions and all my memories, all my pains and all my hope in a full recovery and liberation of my heart and soul, I now pour out into the sea of flames inside Your Heart.
Do burn in the inextinguishable fire of Your Love everything that is tormenting me and that might present an obstacle to my following You unreservedly, for I give all of it to You as firewood You can warm suffering souls with.
I invite You into my heart that loves You so much, and onto the path through my life.
I implore You, do now walk back along this path from this moment onward until the hour of my birth.
Do rid my path of all the stones I have tripped over.
Do rid it of all the splinters I have injured myself on. Do rid it of the ill weeds of my mistakes, and do sow the flowers of the fruitfulness of Your own soul in exchange for them.
Do clean it of the effects of my bad decisions and my aberrations, so that my past may no longer weigh on me.
Do bury all my memories in Your heart, so that I may be able to look at them differently, for everything which is Yours, is Heavenly food for my soul.
Do now tread onto the path through my life, oh my Heavenly Mistress, so as to sanctify it, and in order that each time I look back I may find nothing but the delightful traces of Your perpetual presence.
May my past forever be Yours, oh Mary, so that my present and my future may be born of You for an entirely new life.
1166. CONSECRATION TO MARY, QUEEN OF MY PATH THROUGH LIFE
Dear Mother Mary, Queen of my path through life,
I offer You myself and the stretch of my path I will be going today because Divine Providence has judged it right for me to do so.
Do rule over everything which will be coming my way today.
Do cripple all darkness I will find on my path through life, so as to prevent it from harming me.
Do turn the Light that will be shining on my path into blossoms for my soul, heralds of the summer fruits of a holy life.
By a Divine Decree You gave birth to the Way to true Life.
Please be the Mother and Mistress of the journey which is granted me day after day on the path of my life towards my glorification in the Kingdom of Eternal Life.
1259. PRAYER TO MARY IN PREPARATION FOR MY DYING DAY
O Mary, powerful Mediatrix and Advocate in all hardships of life,
God has given me this single life on earth for me to contribute to the accomplishment of His Works of Love.
That is why I am begging You: Do, this very hour, take my dying day in Your hands, so that I may be able to make this gift out of God’s hands fruitful.
Do obtain for me the understanding of whatever is still lacking to cleanse my soul completely, so that I may be at peace with the Plan God pursued with my life from the beginning.
Do obtain for me a perfect repentance over all faults, shortcomings, omissions, vices and sins of my entire life.
Do obtain for me the opportunity to make right, towards God and my fellow creatures, anything that was wrong in the eye of God. To that end I plead with You to help me perfect my Love before the hour in which God is going to pass judgment on my life.
Do obtain for me that I may be able to detach myself from worldly influences, so that I may voluntarily, wholeheartedly and irrevocably bury in Your Heart my past, all worldly habits and any remnants of worldly thinking, feeling and wishing.
Do obtain for me the grace of a thorough Confession covering my entire life, in the Fire of a thorough understanding and a perfect Love, in order that Divine Justice may judge my mission in life as being fulfilled, and His Mercy may assume me into the fullness of Eternal Bliss.
1311. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN FORGIVENESS
FOR FORGOTTEN SINS
Beloved Jesus, Light of Divine Mercy,
In my heart the seed of Your Passion is longing to get blooming into flowers of Redemption.
In deep Love for You I implore forgiveness for every transgression of my entire life through which I have either knowingly or unknowingly sinned against the Law of Your Eternal Love.
So many times while travelling on the path of my life I have stumbled over the stones of the most various temptations and deceptions.
So many times I may have been guilty of faults, mistakes, errors, omissions, vices and sins of which I failed to see the bearing.
Countless may be the violations I am unable to make up for purposely because they have vanished from my memory.
Oh Jesus, my soul is unable to find the peace and serenity of the saints as long as my heart has not had entrusted its forgotten sins to the furnace of Your Heart.
That is why there is nothing I yearn for more ardently than to embrace You with every fibre of my being, and why I give You the most shady rooms of my soul, the ones that are the least well known to me, in order that You may fill this darkness with the Light from the sun of Eternal Love.
Beloved Jesus, I, too, have made it necessary for You to suffer Your Passion. My transgressions, too, have sentenced You to death. The entire burden of my soul that had made Your Cross heavier and continues to do so, I now sprinkle with the tears of my remorse, in order that the wounds I have inflicted upon You may heal under the balm of my Love, which is so miserable yet will rise in the fire of Your perfect forgiveness for the purpose of casting the seed from which some day Your Kingdom on earth will bloom.
1445. CONSIGNMENT OF MY PATH THROUGH LIFE
TO THE CARE OF THE HOLY ARCHANGELS
Dear Holy Archangels, Princes of God’s Eternal Kingdom,
To your care I commit my journey through life from this moment onward, so that I may experience your powerful guidance and protection on my journey through the dark valleys of the world, which is so heavily threatened by darkness.
Holy Archangel Michael, do protect my path, my entire being and all my contacts with fellow creatures against influences of darkness which may separate me from God, from my salvation and from my true vocation, or may threaten the purity of my soul.
Holy Archangel Raphael, do bring all processes within my body, mind and heart into line with the Laws of Life the way Divine Intelligence is trying to express them in every living being, in order that my entire being may be like God meant it to be, and that it may be able to serve His Works and Plans in sanctity.
Holy Archangel Gabriel, do invest with Divine Light all relations and communications between myself and all fellow creatures led onto my path through life by Divine Providence, do cleanse them completely and fill them with the flow of true Love, so that each contact with a fellow creature may make a positive contribution to the completion of God’s Plan of Salvation.
Do favour me with your permanent presence on my journey to the Heart from which all Life flows all over creation. This is what I implore in the presence of Mary, your and my Heavenly Mistress and Queen, and in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (make the sign of the Cross).
1509. PRAYER OF TOTAL FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION
Dear Mother Mary, most sublime Queen of the Kingdom of Eternal Love,
In Your healing hands I lay my heart, which has so frequently been hurt by darkness from human hearts. Make my heart Your undivided property, so that it may bathe in the Light of Your perfect Love and may be ruled by Your unlimited power, which has got the ability to rob every source of darkness of its potential to cause suffering, misery and sorrow.
I implore a beam of Your all healing Love upon each wound human souls have ever inflicted upon me, and a beam of celestial Light in all hearts which have ever caused me suffering, pain or sorrow, so that in these hearts every source of darkness may dry up and they may henceforth be channels of mere joy.
May Your powerful rule over my heart, over every painful memory and over every wound in my inner life undo each and every effect of darkness which was ever directed against me by human souls and thereby contribute to a full conversion of the hearts from which this darkness ever proceeded.
In order that this conversion as well as the complete and final healing of my own inner life may be brought forward I lay in Your most pure Heart my sincere forgiveness to the souls who have ever done me wrong. May they use the Light from this forgiveness to the fullest in practicing a complete abstention from all evil and every tendency to ever again serve the darkness through any actions, words, thoughts, feelings, desires or aspirations.
May this offering be accepted by the almighty God of all Light and Love as my final desire to obtain a complete conciliation with all my fellow people, so as to glorify Him and to obtain an irreversible breach of the power held by the prince of every dark inclination and source of every veil of fog between human hearts.
In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (make the sign of the Cross).
1551. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN FORGIVENESS FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE
Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of my Divine Redeemer, Heavenly Mistress to whom I have surrendered my entire life,
My heart is crying over all my shortcomings, faults and violations against self-denying Love and over everything by which, at any point of time in my life, I may have caused pain or sorrow to my God, both directly in His perfectly loving Heart and through any lack of sincere Love towards any fellow creature.
Through Your immaculate soul I implore God’s forgiveness for every moment of my life at which I allowed myself to become a tool of darkness through any action, omission, word, thought, feeling, desire, aspiration or disposition of heart, and through which, either purposely or unnoticed, I may have caused harm, suffering, pain or sorrow to any fellow creature, or through which I may have inspired fear, anxiety, depression, discouragement or any feeling of insecurity or loss of a fellow creature’s trust in Love.
May God grant me forgiveness on the merits of the remorse that is tearing my heart apart over the pain caused by any occasion on which any fellow creature was unable to feel in me the warmth of God’s Presence. May these torments of my heart be a small soothing balm to Eternal Love that has been hurt by me, and may they help heal the wounds I have also inflicted upon fellow creatures, in order that the Source of all Love may be glorified.
4. Consecrating the hour of death
Consecrating the hour of one’s own death or of one’s fellow man’s death is usually done at a moment when death is most likely very near. However, as in many cases the moment of departure comes quite unexpectedly, it is very wise to say these prayers in advance, if possible, thereby consecrating them explicitly to come into effect in the hour in which death actually comes.
For years the Mistress of all souls has been emphatically teaching the blessing beyond praise which comes with total consecration to Her. A soul is only consecrated to Mary totally to the extent to which she unrestrainedly and unconditionally enables the Queen of Heaven to dominate her life and to guide her inner life. This requires the soul to develop a great ability and an all-pervasive will to step back totally, i.e. to make her own alleged needs and interests secondary, and to put her entire life and all her thoughts, feelings and aspirations totally at the service of God’s Works and interests, retaining as her sole desire the aspiration that everything that goes on inside of her and everything that proceeds from her may be totally at the service of God’s Plan of Salvation. To that end everything which is alive inside the soul must be a carrier of Light instead of darkness, and the Queen of Heaven and earth must truly get the opportunity to be the absolute Mistress of her entire being and her entire journey through life.
Thus it is self-evident that the soul who is truly consecrated to Mary should lay the hour of her death in the hands of the One she unconditionally regards as her Heavenly Mistress, Protectress and Guide to a duly fruitful balance sheet of her life. As God unconditionally respects every person’s free will and will never violate this free will of His own accord, He considers it necessary that a human soul should at some point during her journey through life give Him to understand unequivocally that she wants to lead and end her life under Mary’s guidance. The Heavenly Queen is a golden Treasure given by God to the souls, both for the days of their lives and for the hour of their transition. Mary is a most powerful Protectress in the hour of death, which usually is an hour of intense struggle against the great tempter, who in those last hours leaves no stone unturned trying to get full and eternal control of the soul. The Heavenly Queen repeatedly emphasized what invincible power She holds over the demons and how She can make it impossible for any dark force to truly touch a soul provided the latter has surrendered to Her totally and unconditionally. Once She spoke to Myriam the following words, of which She wishes that they should be quoted literally in the present writing as an incentive to each human soul to yield to Her full control over her earthly life up to and including the moment of her being judged before the throne of God:
| "To every soul who will put every inch of her path through life and her entire being, including each and every element of her inner life, at My disposal and enables Me to actually be the sovereign Mistress of it all, i.e. who will serve Me in and through every single detail of her life, I assure that in the hour of her transition from her material life she will find in Me a most powerful and invincible shield against every force which is hostile to God and to the eternal salvation of her spiritual life.
Along the last yards of the soul’s path leading to the throne of the Divine Judge, as well as in the overwhelming Presence of Eternal Love judging her, the soul will find out I am truly and justly the Mistress of everything under God and that I embody the invincible Love of God. The free choice the soul herself will make while she is still alive will determine if, and to what extent, she is going to experience the effects of My power in that hour. In truth I assure that no mortal soul is able to suspect the extent and the effects of the power bestowed upon Me by the Most High". (Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth and Mistress of all souls, to Myriam) |

On Holy Saturday 2016 the Queen of Heaven said to Myriam: "I point to the fact My Flower 1274 (Prayer of complete surrender to the crucified Jesus) is also suitable to be prayed 33 times in the presence and for the benefit of a dying person. On such occasion the person(s) saying it shall do so explicitly on behalf of the dying person, if the latter is unable to actively take part in the praying".

Now that God is calling the soul of ... (name), I consecrate her to the Holy Cross of Christ and to Your Immaculate Heart, so that she may depart as a child that fully and undividedly belongs to God. Into Your Sorrowful Heart I lay all illnesses, pains, sorrows, worries, fears, afflictions and deprivation she has suffered during her entire life physically, mentally and emotionally, so as to make up for her sins and debts towards God, and in order that she may soon deserve to enter into the eternal bliss of Heaven, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (make the sign of the Cross; if possible, after this prayer say the Rosary).
The following prayer is intended to support a soul in agony, but it can even be said for a person who has already deceased.

I implore of You this grace as an act of Love in the most holy names of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.
514. SUPPLICATION FOR A DYING PERSON

or by someone else for the benefit of a dying person)
(Myriam van Nazareth)
Wounds of Jesus Christ, do take up into You all the sins of my life.
Blood of Jesus Christ, do wash my soul of all impurities of my life.
Cross of Jesus Christ, open up the gates of Heaven for me.
Heart of Mary, do carry my soul into Paradise.
Oh God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, do now remember the promise of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Oh Mary, my Mother, I consecrate to You all the sufferings of my life in order to settle the debts of my soul. Do never leave me again.
778. SUPPLICATION TO MARY FOR THE HOUR OF MY DEATH
Dear Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth,
You have been given an unparalleled power over the souls in their hour of death.
Therefore I implore Your permanent guidance for a pure and holy life, Your noticeable Presence during the last days of my life, Your powerful protection against any force of evil in the hour of my death, and Your powerful intercession during my trial before the throne of Divine Justice.
I give myself totally and eternally to You, so that I may follow in Your wake in a holy life and in an hour of death in a perfect state of grace.
Be the Flower of my soul, oh Mother, now and in the hour of my death, so that I may live forever.
798. SUPPLICATION FOR MARY’S PRESENCE IN THE HOUR OF MY DEATH
Dear Mother Mary, Bridge between Heaven and earth,
You are the evening sun at the end of the path through life for every soul that has entrusted herself to You. Therefore I consecrate to You the hour of my death.
Do accompany me and watch over me every inch of the way I have yet to go on this earth.
Do prepare my heart, mind and soul for the hour in which my Maker’s call is going to sound inside of me.
Do protect me against all temptation, all impurities, all sins and every attack from evil in the hour of my death.
May Your Presence safeguard me against any fear or anxiety in the light of my transition into Eternal Life.
Do in that hour obtain me the grace of receiving the last rites.
Be my powerful Advocate when judgment is being passed upon my soul by Divine Justice.
Behold, I give to You my entire life, all my sufferings, and my repentance over the sins and mistakes committed throughout my life, as a pledge for obtaining the grace of Eternal Bliss with You in Heaven.
So come, oh Mother, as my Resort in my last hour, so that my soul may be merged with the tender fire of Your Love.
IMPORTANT: Through a decree of Divine Mercy it is possible to say a prayer at any given point of time in life, with the intention that the prayer may exert its effects at another point of time. This is possible because to God everything is timeless. Thus you can consecrate the moment of your birth at any point of your life. In a similar way you can also say a prayer at any time as if you were dying. This prayer is then, if you explicitly implore this of Mary, going to exert its full effect in the hour of your death. As nobody knows the hour or day of their death, it is important to say the following prayer nr. 917 ardently as soon as Divine Providence makes you encounter it on your journey through life. Before saying the actual prayer you then say:
"Dear Mother Mary, I entrust the following prayer to You as if this were the last hour of my life. Do conserve it for my benefit until that hour actually comes".
You can say the prayer equally effectively for the benefit of another person (child, partner in life...).
917. COMMENDATION OF THE SOUL INTO MARY’S HANDS
(Consecration of a soul to Mary in the hour of death)
Dear Mother Mary, glorious Queen of Heaven and earth,
Now that the evening sun is setting over my path through life, I consecrate to You totally and unconditionally every single detail of my entire life.
I give You all the joys of my life, to make up for the Sorrows You have suffered for mankind and for me.
I give You all the sorrows of my life, in order that they may prepare for me Eternal Bliss in Heaven.
I give You all the sufferings of my life, in order that they may redeem the debts of my sins, mistakes, shortcomings and any acts of negligence.
I confess my faith and trust in the Cross of Jesus Christ as the key to open up Eternal Life for me.
I confess You as the Mistress of my soul, heart, mind and body.
I allow my will to merge completely with You, in order that, in the hour of my death, it may be united with the Will of my Creator, and that the fruit of the Sufferings of my Saviour Jesus Christ and of His Death on the Cross may now be fully mature within me.
In this hour I empty my mind and my heart of all ballast and attachments of my life and of all traces of sin and temptation, so that my soul may be filled with You completely in the hour of the judgment I am soon to be subjected to before the throne of God.
All influences of this world which may still be present and active within me, as well as all memories and impressions, I now surrender to Your infinite power.
I regret every action, word, thought and wish of my life that may have failed to serve God’s Plans and Works or to respond to His Love, as well as every moment of half-heartedness. I entrust all of this to the fire of Your intercession before Divine Justice.
Do empty me of everything likely to separate me from God.
Do fill my soul completely with the lake of fire of Your Love, and with Your own longing for God.
Do wrap me in a pillar of Heavenly Light, so that, in this final hour, any force of darkness may flee from me, and my soul may be ready to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Behold my weakness, oh Heavenly Mother, in the face of the last gate on my pathway through life. Hide me completely inside Your Heart.
In nothing or nobody I will trust but in You, who have preceded me so gloriously in this last flight.
Do now spread the works of my entire life all over the souls, for into Your hands, my Heavenly Mistress, I commend my entire being for all eternity. Do now take me up and make me a part of You, for my heart is now coming home in the Kingdom of Love.
May I now, merged with You completely, depart in the shadow of the Cross, in order to meet my Creator, my Redeemer, my Sanctifier, my Mistress and the entire Celestial Court, and to love Them all in true sanctity.
(make the sign of the Cross) - TOTUS TUUS, MARIA, for all eternity. Amen
| Consecration is a very important matter. It is a holy covenant entered into by the soul with God, usually through Mary. Consecration that is actually practiced is of very great value for the soul. By the following prayer the soul consecrates her dying hour to Mary. The value of this consecration is so great the soul can hardly fathom its depth. The hour of our death is unknown to us. It is therefore important to make this consecration as soon as one encounters the text of this prayer. It can make a huge difference in the hour in which your life on earth comes to an end, for if you have ever offered this consecration to Mary truly ardently, and your heart clings to the effects thereof very tightly and trustingly, you will experience an explosion of Mary’s infinite power in that hour, which may very well be the most important hour of your life. |
1080. CONSECRATION OF THE HOUR OF MY DEATH TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary,
Because no soul knows the day and the hour of her departure towards God, today I give You the hour of my death. Do live and rule within me completely in that hour, so that my soul may experience the end of my life in a perfect inner peace and calm.
Do in that hour obtain for me perfect faith and trust, so that I may be able to open up completely for a joyful encounter with my Creator.
Do in that hour deliver me from all fear and doubt, so that I may then praise God’s Mercy like never before.
Do in that hour fructify me with the fire of true Love, so that many traces of sins and faults may be burnt up inside of me yet, and my soul may appear before God’s throne all cleaned and justified.
Do in that hour light me with the fire of longing for complete forgiveness and reconciliation towards the souls that have sometimes made life on earth difficult for me.
Do in that hour lend me Your own Heart, so that the heartbeat of true sanctity may irrigate my entire being with true Divine Life, which is soon to take the place of my life on earth.
Do in that hour obtain for me the grace of a complete Confession and a perfect repentance, so that the breeze from my last words may open up the gate of Heaven for me.
Be my shield of Light over the horizon of my path through life, so that the darkness inside of me may not have the final say, and that my death may truly be the dawn of my eternal spring.
Do let the evening sun beam down into my heart, so that I may from this moment onwards with my eyes focused on the golden gate inside of which the rebirth for eternity is waiting for me.
The following prayer can be used at any time, yet the Holy Virgin Mary advises:
- to pray it for 33 consecutive days
- during this 33 day period, to give Her special sacrifices and/or acts of penance
- during this period, to make at least one thorough sacramental Confession
1089. CONSECRATION OF MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary,
God predestines the path through each soul’s life to be an expression of His perfect Love and Wisdom. The soul tends to defile this path as her feet progress on it. Therefore I implore You:
Do repeat my journey through life, from the hour of my birth up to this very moment, so that Your most holy feet may undo the effects of any defilements and may erase all traces of darkness my life has left behind along this path.
Deign to undo the unfavourable effects of all my actions, thoughts, feelings, words, desires and aspirations through which I may have deviated from God’s Law, I may have failed to promote His Plans and Work or may even have opposed them, and have thereby even decreased the fruitfulness of my own journey through life.
Behold the ill weeds on my path through life. Do pull them up in the infinite power of Your Intercession, and do coat my path with the flowers of Your perfect virtues.
Behold the desert ground of my days of drought of heart and soul. Do sprinkle it even today with the water of Divine Life from Your Heart.
Behold the quicksand of all my violations of God’s Law. Do transform it, even now, into fertile soil by reshaping my inner life after Your image.
May all my sufferings and trials of this day, and all my penance, make amends for my transgressions.
By virtue of this consecration, do bring Love and Light wherever my life was filled with darkness, so that my heart and my mind may be delivered from the chains of my past.
May henceforth my path run through Your Heart, so that it may put all darkness to shame.
1194. OFFERING OF AN AGONIZING SOUL TO MARY
Dear Mother Mary, Custodian of the souls,
I lay the soul of...... (name) into Your Heart, so that she may encounter her Maker in unity with You.
I clothe this soul with all my Love, so that, in the hour of her imminent judgment before the throne of God, she may in His Presence testify to my longing to ever see God from face to Face, and in doing so I want to express my gratitude for this soul’s life on earth and for everything she has meant for the lives and the development of other souls.
Do deliver this soul from everything which may be an obstacle to her transition to God, and do obtain for her the grace to be purified of every trace of dissatisfaction or negative feelings other souls may be harbouring against her.
Do make this soul ready for Eternal Bliss. I entrust her to You, so that You may represent her before the throne of God, and Your immaculate Love and unlimited power may deliver her from everything that may ever have separated her from God.
The following prayer was inspired by the Most Blessed Virgin Mary in two versions. The first version was intended to be prayed for the benefit of a specific dying or deceased person:
1378. SACRIFICIAL PRAYER TO MARY
FOR THE BENEFIT OF A DYING OR A DECEASED PERSON
Oh Mary, chosen Bridge between God and the souls,
Do take the soul of ........ (name) up into Your immaculate womb and give new birth to her for Eternal Life, through Your powerful intercession before God’s throne.
May the all-embracing fire of Your perfect Love burn every trace of darkness this soul may have taken with her from her past life to the gate of Paradise.
Do offer all sufferings this soul has been through during her life on earth to God, united with the perfect fruit of the Works of Redemption accomplished by the Christ, in order that Redemption may truly be fully accomplished in this soul.
Second version: can be prayed for the benefit of all fellow people who are dying or deceased on the day it is prayed.
1378bis. SACRIFICIAL PRAYER TO MARY
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DYING OR DECEASED
Oh Mary, chosen Bridge between God and the souls,
Do take the souls of all people who are dying or have just died, up into Your immaculate womb and give new birth to them for Eternal Life, through Your powerful intercession before God's throne.
May the all-embracing fire of Your perfect Love burn every trace of darkness these souls may have taken with them from their past life to the gate of Paradise.
Do offer all sufferings these souls have been through during their life on earth to God, united with the perfect fruit of the Works of Redemption accomplished by the Christ, in order that Redemption may truly be fully accomplished in these souls.
1497. CONSECRATION TO MARY OF THE HOUR IN WHICH
JUDGMENT WILL BE PASSED ON MY LIFE
Dear Mother Mary, Queen of true hope and powerful Advocate for every human soul who truly wishes to live and to die for God and His Works,
To You I come with a heart that beseeches You to obtain the seal of Your perfect Love for my soul, in order that in the hour in which God will pass judgment on my life I may see every trace of darkness in my soul be consumed in the merged flames of Your Love and of the remorse burning in my heart, for I have missed so many chances to immerse my surroundings in the beams of God’s Love.
I give You my deep remorse and pain over the darkness I may have served in the course of my life through any act, omission, word, thought, feeling, desire and aspiration, and over every moment of my life in which I failed to be a channel of Light and warmth for any fellow creature.
Until the hour of my death, do preserve in Your Heart my deep pain over:
- any damage, pain, suffering or sorrow I have ever caused to fellow creatures – fellow people and animals – through any actions, omissions, words, thoughts, feelings or aspirations;
- any covenant of Love and caring I have ever entered into before God for the benefit of any fellow person or animal yet I have broken or defiled through lack of sincere Love, care, willingness to serve or to help, and of self-denial;
- any situation, event or contact with fellow creatures during which I failed to harbour dispositions of true self-denying Love or primarily sought to satisfy the needs I thought I had;
- any situation in my life in which I failed to properly serve God’s Works or even counteracted them through any lack of true Love in my heart;
- any event, situation or trial of my life which I failed to accept and during which I allowed my heart to get filled with feelings of discontent, which enabled darkness to take root in my heart and which I sometimes took out on fellow creatures.
Oh Queen of sinlessness, to You I surrender undividedly, in order that You may be able to help the seed of perfect purity blossom in me and, once my journey through life will have reached its horizon, I may be able to present myself to my creator as a mirror of Your Heart, in which He has gathered all delights of Paradise, for He designed me so as to be a flower, and I long to live with Him for all eternity as a flower that won’t ever wither.
1532. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN ACCESS
TO ETERNAL BLISS FOR A DECEASED
Oh Mary, powerful Advocate before the throne of the Most High, golden Bridge between the souls and God,
Through Your intercession I implore Your Divine Son, the crucified and risen Christ, that a drop of His redemptive Blood may be sprinkled by Your most pure hand onto the path through the past life of .................... (name of the deceased or dying fellow person), in order that he/she may soon inherit Eternal Salvation in the Kingdom of infinite Love.
May, according to the extent of this soul’s sincere remorse and her sincere longing for the everlasting Presence of the Source of perfect Love, this drop of Blood from the Man-God cleanse her entire path through life of all and any effects of darkness which may ever have defiled it.
May this same drop unlock in this soul the full power of the Divine Works of Redemption, so that she may appear before God like a freely flowing brooklet of His own Light, which longs for nothing else but the permission to pour itself out completely into the Ocean of His Heart.
May the tears I shed over the loss of this fellow soul merge with this brooklet in witness of my desire for her everlasting Bliss in the Kingdom of Eternal Summer, and may all trials crossing my own path through life from this moment onward help advance her entry into this Kingdom, in glorification of the Sufferings the Christ went through for her eternal Salvation, in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (make the sign of the Cross).
Through the years the Mistress of all souls has been repeating how important it is for every human soul to duly prepare for the hour of her physical decease, as the death of the body should not be the end but the beginning of true Life. True Life is the Eternal Life of the soul in the Presence of God, the only form of Eternal Life which fully fulfils Divine Law for all eternity, because the soul can enter Eternal Bliss only as soon as she:
The following prayer was infused into Myriam’s heart during a nocturnal meditation for the purpose of being used by every soul as soon as she finds it on her path (for no soul knows the hour in which she will have to part with earthly life). It can also be used on behalf and for the benefit of a fellow person, for instance in an hour in which the end of the latter’s life appears to be drawing near. |
1653. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN MARY’S PRESENCE
IN THE HOUR OF MY DEATH
Oh Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth, virginal and eternally perfect sinless Mother of the Divine Redeemer Jesus Christ,
Filled with confidence in the unlimited power God has given You over all darkness I put my entire being in Your hands for the hour in which God will call me back to Him.
I give my entire being to You, in order that in that hour You may be my infallible Guide to the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven.
I give my entire being to You, in order that in that hour You may be my impenetrable shield of celestial fire, which disables every wile and every attack launched by the darkness against my traveling soul.
I give my entire being to You, in order that in that hour Your Presence with me may be felt when my soul will be invited to present herself before the throne of the most sublime almighty God.
I give my entire being to You, in order that in that hour Your most powerful Love may complement whatever is lacking inside of me to fulfil the infallible Divine Law.
I give my entire being to You, in order that in that hour my entire past journey through life may pay back to You some of the many graces and favours Your Love has been obtaining for me throughout my life and which I never noticed.
Therefore, do accept my unworthy being as Your possession and property, in order that in the hour of my death I may truly and eternally belong to God alone.
In spite of its title the Queen of Heaven and earth certainly did not inspire the following prayer only for human souls who are under the impression that the end of their life is drawing near. When inspiring the text She also said:
"No human soul knows the hour of her transition from life on earth to life in the hereafter. The hour of death is of paramount importance with a view to Eternal Life. Therefore it is of an unspeakable value for the soul to surrender to Me totally and unconditionally before she is to meet Her Maker. The prayer can fruitfully be used whenever the soul feels drawn to praying it, but also at the beginning and at the end of any day, as the soul is not to know what the day or the night is going to bring her.
It is of the essence that the prayer be used as the expression of a heart-felt desire from the very core of a heart that is sincerely longing to make the encounter she will some day have with her God, no matter how far or how near that hour may be, a feast of all-transcending joy for herself as well as for the God of perfect Love and infallible Justice".
1695. SUPPLICATION TO OBTAIN MARY’S PROTECTION
IN THE FINAL HOURS OF MY LIFE
Holy Virgin Mary, undefiled Tabernacle of the Christ and my most holy Bridge to the Heart of my God,
Every soul’s path through life ends before the throne of the Divine Judge.
I know neither the day nor the hour God is going to set for the material journey of my soul in this world to be terminated.
That is why now, in this very hour, I am laying my entire being and the final stage of my journey through life in Your most pure hands, in order that in those hours I may be Yours totally, unrestrainedly and unconditionally, and I implore You:
On account of my total surrender to You, may my entire being be a bearer of Your signature, so that my God may see that You are my Mistress.
Do sprinkle the final stage of my path through life with the perfume of Your unparalleled sanctity, so that no force which is hostile to God’s Plans and Works may in any way get to block or to defile my last steps, for nothing under God is able to match Your power.
In those hours do fill my soul so totally with the perfectly holy dispositions of Your Immaculate Heart that my soul may be cleansed of everything by which I may ever have grieved my God.
Through Your most powerful actions, may I obtain the favour of completing my journey through life in a spirit of holy remorse over all and any faults of my life, in a spirit of pure self-denying Love for all my fellow creatures, and in a sincere desire to belong to God alone for all eternity.
For these favours I implore You by virtue of the Works of Redemption Jesus Christ has performed for my Salvation, too, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (make the sign of the Cross).
As ordained by the Heavenly Mistress on Holy Saturday in 2016 also prayer flower nr. 1274 can be regarded as part of the underlying category:
1274. PRAYER OF COMPLETE SURRENDER TO THE CRUCIFIED JESUS
Jesus Christ, Messiah from God, Redeemer of souls,
Through the immaculate Love of Mary, Your and my Sorrowful Mother and Co-Redemptrix of souls:
- I entrust all mistakes, omissions, violations and moments of lack of Love of my entire life to the purifying action of Your Holy Blood,
- I entrust all wounds and all sufferings of my entire life to the healing action of Your Holy Wounds, and
- I entrust everything likely to prevent my entry into Eternal Bliss in Heaven to Your Holy Cross.
Oh Jesus, at the foot of the Cross I want to forgive all souls who have ever done me wrong. Do forgive me, kindle within me a lifelong unconditional Love, and grant me the experience of my lasting rebirth of Mary.
