A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

​ 

Wake Up,

You Who 

Slumber and Sleep

10/8/22 

You O man are feeding your passions. 

And starving your souls! 

You must seek the higher gifts. 

That can only come through meditative prayer and fasting. 

We must tap into the supernatural realm of reality,

to which you have been blinded. 

Stop living half a life! 

All the earthly objects and passions pass in time.  

You have as much control over your earthly obsessions as you have control of the wind. 

Open you eyes and your hearts to the spiritual and the eternal,   

The unseen realm of reality that exists and will eternally exist. 

The unseen supernatural realm that can only be uncovered by focused prayer and faith! 

This is the place of miracles! 

The place of peace and joy, 

Of Unity and harmony,  

And even suffering in Serenity.  

It is the stepping stone to heaven.

Stop groveling in the dirt!    

With humility and courage take back your destiny and your reward.  

You are children of God who have a heavenly inheritance!  

But you are stuck in your own dirt and darkness!  

You must come to the light of Christ and seek him always, 

This is the simple and sound truth of the spiritual realm of reality! 

“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” 

The body dies, the soul is immortal!  

What is the destiny of your soul? 

Jeremia 12:7:-17 (DR)

The prosperity of the wicked shall be but for a short time. The desolation of the Jews for their sins. Their return from their captivity.

The Lord’s Complaint 12:7-13

“I have forsaken my house, I have left my inheritance: I have given my dear soul into the hand of her enemies. My inheritance is become to me as a lion in the wood: it hath cried out against me, therefore have I hated it. Is my inheritance to me as a speckled bird? is it as a bird dyed throughout? come ye, assemble yourselves, all ye beasts of the earth, make haste to devour. Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot: they have changed my delightful portion into a desolate wilderness. They have laid it waste, and it hath mourned for me. With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart. The spoilers are come upon all the ways of the wilderness, for the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land to the other end thereof: there is no peace for all flesh. They have sown wheat, and reaped thorns: they have received an inheritance, and it shall not profit them: you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.”

(Jeremias 12:7-13, DR)

Juda’s Neighbors 12:14-17

“Thus saith the Lord against all wicked neighbours, that touch the inheritance that I have shared out to my people Israel: Behold I will pluck them out of their land, and I will pluck the house of Juda out of the midst of them. And when I shall have plucked them out, I will return, and have mercy on them: and will bring them back, every man to his inheritance, and every man into his land. And it shall come to pass, if they will be taught, and will learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name: The Lord liveth, as they have taught my people to swear by Baal: that they shall be built up in the midst of my people. But if they will not hear, I will utterly pluck out and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.”

(Jeremias 12:14-17, DR)

1 St. Peter 1:22-2:1-10

He gives thanks to God for the benefit of our being called to the true faith and to eternal life, into which we are to enter by many tribulations. He exhorts to holiness of life, considering the holiness of God and our redemption by the blood of Christ.

Brotherly Love 1:22-25

“Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. For all flesh is as grass and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered and the flower thereof is fallen away. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you.”

(1 Peter 1:22-25, DR)
