<P>From the creation of man to the current ecclesial infiltration and world revolution, the devil and his minions have sought to destroy the human race made in the image of God. No longer attacking from without, they are now secretly laying siege from within the Holy Roman Catholic Church. But why is God allowing this? He loves to see souls heroically battle for the faith.</P><P>In the nineteenth century, Venerable Leo Dupont said that Communists would one day enslave the world—that is, “close up their churches, and make them slaves of the state . . . unless reparation is done, unless men come before the Face of their Saviour to ask His forgiveness and His help!”</P><P>In this powerful book, Father Carney reveals the essence and history of the Holy Face Devotion, its apostles, and how to save society and the Church from her foes.</P><P>“Reparation is destined to save society,” said Blessed Pope Pius IX. Join the ranks of Saint Thérèse and other saints in the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face and contemplate His Face to help restore Christendom from the evils of Communism and Freemasonry. Heaven longs for this devotion. Here is a timely book that provides a counter-revolution of reparation, reverence, and reversion.</P>

Year 2, Day 194: Volume 3, Book 5, Chapter 11, Paragraphs 129-134

<P>The Catholic Church today finds itself in the midst of a crisis. The flock is scattering, and while some shepherds bravely set off in search of those lost and wandering sheep, others drive them, and many more, further from the fold.But the Church has seen and weathered numerous crises in its two millennia, and always one or more of its priests and bishops stood up and rallied the faithful: whether to rebuke an Emperor or oppose a policy, encourage the faithful or defend the faith, bishops and priests ascended the pulpit and delivered sermons that met the pressing needs of their own times, sermons which should be read and remembered by Catholics of all times. You will find comfort within these pages as you read the words of these heroic pastors of souls including:</P><P></P><P>St. Ambrose of Milan</P><P>St. Augustine</P><P>St. John Chrysostom</P><P>St. Edmund Campion</P><P>Pope St. John Paul II</P><P>And seven others</P><P></P><P>Enter into the minds and thoughts of some of the bravest, most eloquent homilists the Church has produced. More than one was killed for the words they uttered, which you will find in these pages. But they counted not the cost.Guided by Fr. Paul D. Scalias introduction and commentaries, you will come to see that the Church has faced crises and survived, even thrived, before. In fact, it is one of the marks of her authenticity, as it has often been said, that no mere human institution could have survived the persecutions and scandals that the Catholic Church has withstood over 2000 years.If you are a priest or bishop, just maybe reading these words of men not unlike yourself, will inspire you to stand and be counted to preach Gods word from the pulpit without counting the cost.</P>

<p>&ldquo;Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.&rdquo; With these words from Matthew 5:48, Christ calls every Christian beyond ordinary virtue and into the transforming life of divine charity. One of the greatest signs of this holiness is the willingness to pray, sacrifice, and make reparation not only for oneself, but also for sinners, persecutors, and those who offend God.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A Year of Reparations: 365 Days of Penance and Prayer</strong>&nbsp;provides a complete year-long spiritual program designed to immerse the soul in this essential work of salvation. Through 365 prayers of reparation, fifty-two examples of saints who offered their lives for sinners, and practical spiritual exercises inspired by the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face of Jesus, Fr. Lawrence Carney III offers readers a disciplined path toward greater holiness, penance, and sacrificial love.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Drawing from the Church's theology of atonement, propitiation, vicarious satisfaction, and penance, this comprehensive volume explains both why reparation is necessary and how Catholics can practice it faithfully. It also explores the great devotions associated with reparation&mdash;including the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the Holy Face of Jesus&mdash;helping readers transform prayer, fasting, suffering, and works of mercy into offerings for the salvation of souls.</p>

									<h2><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Opening Prayer</span></h2>
<p>Lord, I petition to make prayer the most important Business of Life, recognizing it as the foundation of my spiritual advancement and my daily integrity. Help me to rouse myself from laziness and coldness, desiring You with my whole heart before I attend to any other task. Let my communion with You be the source of my strength and the reason for my rejoicing.</p>
<p>I ask for the grace of final perseverance, realizing that the pursuit of holiness takes time and constant effort. Let me not despair in the face of my own misery, but have confidence in Your mercy alone to bring me to my glorious destination. May I leave nothing undone that You have given me to do, devoting my whole life to the service of Your glory.</p>

									<p><b>St. Alphonsus Liguori</b>&nbsp;teaches prayer as the most important business of life. The Gospel “<i>Faithful Servant</i>” is the clinical narrative of “<i>Always give thanks</i>“.

The spiritual paper cuts of busy-ness are healed when we realize prayer is the only way that can lead us. We must pray without ceasing and join prayer with fasting.

Karl Marx, The Shroud of Turin, and Faith ON TRIAL | Robert Orlando

<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>From the earliest centuries of Christianity come three foundational texts that shaped faith and practice: the&nbsp;<em>Didache</em>, the&nbsp;<em>Didascalia Apostolorum</em>, and the&nbsp;<em>Apostolic Tradition</em>. Written to guide believers in worship, morality, and community life, these manuals reveal how the early Church understood the sacraments, prayer, fasting, charity, episcopal authority, and the daily demands of Christian discipleship.</p>
<p>Here you encounter the living heartbeat of apostolic Christianity, simple, disciplined, and aflame with reverence. These writings unite doctrine with daily devotion, showing a Church that believed rightly and lived accordingly. They speak across the centuries with a voice at once pastoral and commanding, formed in an age of persecution yet confident in the Lordship of Christ.</p>
<p>Preserved through upheaval and renewal, these Apostolic Manuals open a clear window into the unity and order that marked the earliest believers. They invite modern Christians to recover the rhythm of a Church that prayed with one heart, lived as one body, and confessed one faith.</p>

									<h2><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Opening Prayer</span></h2>
<p>Lord, I look into the mirror of the Psalms to recognize the stirrings of my own soul and to align my emotions with Your divine standards. I recognize that the Psalter serves as a mirror of the soul, encompassing the whole of human existence and the movements of the mind. I petition for the Radiance of the Mirror to fill my spirit, allowing me to reflect Your perfections back to You in an act of constant, intentional worship.</p>
<p>May my soul be a clear surface that reflects the light of Your face without the distortion of pride or the obscurity of sin. Grant me the grace to recognize my own poverty in the mirror of Your greatness, leading me to a deeper humility and a more fervent gratitude. Let my life be a memorial of Your goodness, shining Your light into the darkness of the world around me through a chastened and virtuous life.</p>

									<p><b>St. Clare </b>reiterates that Christ as the mirror without tarnish. She uses the analogy of “inward beauty” and “outward robes”. Clare’s narrative is one of “continually examining your face” in Christ to beautify yourself completely. The Gospel “<i>Left everything</i>” is her clinical reality; she lived in a <b>Mansion of poverty</b> to possess the immeasurable love. She reminds us to adorn the soul with the flowers of virtue. The spiritual paper cuts of vanity are healed when we realize that “to see God is inexhaustible”. We must strive after spiritual advancement through the charming precision of contemplative prayer.</p>								</div>
