Power of Eucharistic Adoration

THE HEALING POWER OF THE EUCHARIST

By Fr John Keane

𝑾𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝒂 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒔𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒊 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒚.

Very early every Wednesday morning while I worked as a missionary in Ecuador, I used to take very sick people to the hospital in Guayaquil, about a two hour journey.  Over a hundred people would turn up looking to come to the hospital, and I would take over twenty who would stand at the back of the jeep.

One Wednesday morning when I was alone with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in adoration, the Lord told me not to go to take the people to the hospital today, but to bring them into His presence in Eucharistic Adoration and allow Him to touch and heal them.

In obedience I did what Jesus asked, so when they arrived, I told them we will not be going to the hospital today.  They were very disappointed.  I told them that Jesus wanted us to come in Eucharistic adoration and pray with all our hearts that His healing power would come upon us. 

There was a very deep faith in the chapel that morning as the dawn began to break through.  People who had cancer, leukemia, tumours, heart disease, depression, pain and many illnesses were healed through the life-giving presence in the Eucharist.  We were praying with expectant faith for over three hours, and we saw a full tsunami of the healing anointing of Jesus flowing freely.  I will never ever forget that morning, as the Lord, truly present in the Eucharist, showed His mighty power. 

We truly believe as Catholics that Jesus is alive in person in the Eucharist, as truly present as when He walked the roads of our earth two thousand years ago.  The awesome power of Jesus in the Eucharist is beyond description.  He releases His healing touch on all who are emotionally scarred, on all who are crushed and broken, on all who have lost heart and lost hope, on all who are physically ill and in pain.  As we come before Jesus in the Eucharist, let us come with a sure belief that the wonders He did two thousand years ago, He is doing today.

Let us believe that the impossible is possible for the Eucharistic Jesus.  We remember His words in Matthew 7:7 “Ask and you will receive.”  Let us come with faith and bow down before His life-giving power in the Eucharist.

Prophecy for the End time

YOU ARE LIVING THE BLOODY YEARS OF THE BATTLE …

(2-min. read)

In Message 495 in the Blue Book given by our Lady to Fr. Stefano Gobbi on 13th of 1993, she described the state of the world and of the Church today, namely: satan has set up his kingdom on Earth; the devil has led many bishops and priests, religious and faithful astray, causing much loss of faith and apostasy; a new terrible world war which will bring destruction to peoples and nations; diabolical powers have spread everywhere the error of theoretical and practical atheism; a new terrible world war is likely to erupt anytime which will bring destruction to entire nations; and and the Vatican is under the control of masonic forces.

THE BLOODY YEARS OF THE BATTLE

a “By a day-long cenacle at this venerated shrine, you, the priests and faithful of my Movement in the region of Lombardy, are today observing the anniversary of my first apparition which took place at Fatima, in the poor Cova da Iria.

b You are still in the period described by me in my apparition. Above all, you are in the heart of my message. The struggle between the Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Red Dragon has, during these years, reached its highest peak. Satan has set up his kingdom in the world. He is now ruling over you as a sure victor.

c The powers which are directing and arranging human events, according to their perverse plans, are the dark and diabolic powers of evil. They have succeeded in bringing all humanity to live without God. They have spread everywhere the error of theoretical and practical atheism. They have built the new idols before which humanity is bowing down in adoration: pleasure, money, pride, impurity, mastery over others, and impiety.

d Thus, in these years of yours, violence is spreading more and more. Egoism has made the hearts of men hard and insensitive. Hatred has blazed up like a scorching fire. Wars have multiplied in every part of the world, and you are now living in the danger of a new terrible world war which will bring destruction to peoples and nations, a war from which no one will emerge victorious.

e Satan has succeeded in entering into the Church, the new Israel of God. He has entered there with the smoke of error and sin, of the loss of faith and apostasy, of compromise with the world and the search for pleasure. During these years, he has succeeded in leading astray bishops and priests, religious and faithful.

f The forces of Masonry have entered into the Church, in a subtle and hidden way, and have set up their stronghold in the very place where the Vicar of my Son Jesus lives and works.

g You are living the bloody years of the battle, because the great trial has now arrived for all.

h There is now taking place that which is contained in the third part of my message, which has not yet been revealed to you, but which has now become evident from the events themselves through which you are now living.

i To prepare you for them, I have caused my Marian Movement of Priests to spring up in every part of the world. And thus I have chosen this littlest and poorest child of mine and have brought him everywhere, as an instrument of my motherly plan of salvation and mercy.

j By means of him, I have called you from all sides to consecrate yourselves to my Immaculate Heart; to enter, each and all, into the safe refuge which your heavenly Mother has prepared for you; to multiply the cenacles of prayer as lightning rods which protect you from the fire of the chastisement. How many of you have responded to my call with filial love and with great generosity!

k My plan is now on the point of being realized, and the task which I have entrusted to this little son of mine is about to be completed. And so today I am looking upon you with the special satisfaction of a Mother who is being consoled and exalted by you.

l I urge you to live without fear, but rather with great confidence and trust, these bloody years of the battle. From the chalice of sufferings never experienced until now, there will come forth the divine sun of a new era, of a humanity heretofore unknown, of grace and holiness, of love and justice, of joy and peace."

"I can attest to spiritual warfare in the family. For years my husband treated me very poorly, verbally abusing me and constantly venting his discontent on me. Anyway, it was during this time that I was coming home to the Church, and a friend of mine suggested sprinkling blessed Holy Water and Holy Salt around the house. The effect was immediate! It was like night and day! All rancor and abuse stopped at once. I never told my husband, he doesn't know. I rejoiced with my friend, that blessed Holy Water achieved what years of begging, pleading, threats, and Prozac failed to do."

The Four Last Things

ST. FAUSTINA’S DESCENT TO HELL & 3 COUNSELS FROM THE FATHERS

(1-min read)

1 Caring For Others

“For not eating and drinking makes friendship: such friendship even robbers have and murderers. But if we are friends, if we truly care for one another, let us in these respects help one another. This leads us to a profitable friendship: let us hinder those things which lead away to hell.” St. John Chrysostom

2 Be Content With Little

“As for you, my son, shun the satisfactions of this age, so as to be happy in the age to come. Do not be negligent, letting the days pass by till unexpectedly they come looking for you and you arrive at the straits of your anguish and the horrible faces surround you and drag you off violently to their dark place of terror and anguish. Do not be sad when you are cursed by men; be sad and sigh when you sin — this is the true curse — and when you go away bearing the sores of your sins.” St. Pachomius the Great

3 Test Yourself Before Sleep

“A man obtains the fear of God if he has the remembrance of his unavoidable death and of the eternal torments that await sinners; If he tests himself every evening as to how he has spent the day, and every morning as to how he has spent the night, and if he is not sharp in his relations with others.” St. Dorotheos of Gaza

Exorcism Prayers for the Laity

SAINT BENEDICT MEDAL PRAYER

(2-min. read)

“𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞.” (𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐚)

1 HISTORY

During a trial for witchcraft at Natternberg near the Abbey of Metten in Bavaria in the year 1647, the accused women testified that they had no power over Metten, which was under the protection of the cross. Upon investigation, a number of painted crosses, surrounded by the letters which are now found on Benedictine medals, were found on the walls of the abbey, but their meaning had been forgotten.

Finally, in an old manuscript, written in 1415, was found a picture representing St. Benedict holding in one hand a staff which ends in a cross, and a scroll in the other. On the staff and scroll were written in full the words of which the mysterious letters were the initials. Medals bearing the image of St. Benedict, a cross, and these letters began now to be struck in Germany, and soon spread over Europe. They were first approved by Benedict XIV in his briefs of 23 December 1741, and 12 March 1742.

“I am an oblate of a Benedictine Abbey. A couple of years ago, we had a terrible tornado in our town. I prayed to St. Benedict that my home and neighborhood would not be touched and they were not. I credit the prayers of St. Benedict.”

“My entire family has been wearing the Saint Benedict medal since the beginning of the pandemic. My husband is a physician working at one of the busiest hospitals in New York. I have a toddler that puts everything in his mouth. We travel a lot. We never got sick, never tested positive for COVID. We pray to Saint Benedict every night. He’s protecting us.”

(houseofjoppa)

Maria

Maria, a mother of three from Italy, recalls a time of great distress in her family. "There was a palpable sense of unease in our home," she says. "Nightmares, unexplained tensions, and a general feeling of malaise were frequent." A devout Catholic, Maria turned to her faith for solace and protection. After consulting with her parish priest, she placed St. Benedict Medals in her home and on her children. "It was as if a weight was lifted," she recounts. "The atmosphere in our house changed, and my children slept peacefully again."

Prophecy for the End Time

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

Luke 31:26 “Watch, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man.”

GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM

The next three or four solar cycles are projected by Solar Scientists to have less solar activity than the current Solar Cycle 24 (SC 24), that ended in December 2019. This indicates that SC 25, 26 and 27 will be cycles with very little or no sunspot activity. Extended periods of inactivity like this, is the very definition of a Grand Solar Minimum. This minimum will likely cause Global Cooling and even a mini–Ice Age.

GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM RISKS

There will be increased risks, namely:

1. Increased incidence of super storms.

2. Colder and sometimes very much colder Northern Hemisphere winters.

3. Longer winters, increased droughts, stalled monsoons causing significant crop losses and famine.

4. Continuing high incidence of volcanic eruptions, and larger magnitude earthquakes with large tsunamis.

5. Higher mortality rates resulting from extreme weather changes, raging of the elements, and pandemics.

6 The secondary effects of these also have dire consequences. These result from political instability caused by high food inflation due to failed crops and reductions in grain stores; high energy price inflation due to the lack of enough energy supplies during periods of excessively cold conditions; political unrest and mass migrations; and economic depression.

Notes from an Exorcist

DISCERNING PHENOMENA DURING PRAYER

“When one of your five senses perceives an unusual phenomenon during prayer without your soul feeling anything, pay no attention to it; God is beyond the five senses. But if joy or hope come to your soul when you smell a fragrance, see a vision, hear something, or have any other sensation, neither accept it nor reject it, but go tell it to your spiritual father immediately. “If the triad of faith, hope, and love before you begin praying is—in a manner of speaking—ten degrees, and afterwards your faith, hope, and love have increased to one hundred degrees, then this transformation is from God. The evil one is incapable of inspiring you with faith or hope or love, since he lacks all three of these.

“If these three (faith, hope, and love) have increased after your prayer, know that your prayer has been accepted. If these three have remained the same, know that you have prayed in a worldly manner. If these three have decreased, you have prayed in a deluded manner. And if after your prayer you feel some kind of carnality, even if only slightly, you have prayed wrongly.”

St Joseph the Hesychast

Notes from Exorcists

BLESSED CANDLES & LIBERATION

“Light this candle when you sense an evil presence or manifestation in a certain place. The light from blessed candles symbolizes Jesus, the Light of the world; the presence of the Lord drives away all spirits of darkness. Lighting this candle, then praying for liberation is especially effective to purge a place especially a room, from infestation.”

Father Jocis Syquia, Chief Exorcist of the Archdiocese of Manila

PRAYER FOR LIBERATION

“Holy Father, omnipotent and merciful God, in the name of Jesus Christ and through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, send Your Holy Spirit upon me (family).

May the Spirit of the Lord descend upon me (us), mold me, form me, fill me, hear me, use me, heal me, cast out from me all the forces of evil, annihilate them, destroy them, so that I may be well and do good.

Cast out from me (us) all the spells, sorcery, black magic, black masses, evil eye, ties, curses, diabolical infestation, diabolical possession, diabolical obsession, all that is evil; sin, envy, jealousy, perfidy, discord, impurity, infatuation; physical, psychic, moral, spiritual, and diabolic illnesses. Burn all these evils in hell, so that they will never again touch me or any other creature in the world.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Savior, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, I order and command all unclean spirits, all the presences that molest me (family), to leave me (us) immediately, to leave me definitely, and, chained by St. Michael the Archangel, by St. Gabriel, by St. Raphael, by my (our) guardian angel(s), crushed under the heel of the Most Holy Immaculate Virgin, to go into the eternal abyss. Give me (us), O Father, much faith, joy, health, peace, and all the graces that I need. Lord Jesus Christ may Your most Precious Blood be upon me (us). Amen.”

Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican (+)

Wisdom of St. Padre Pio

ADVICE ON GUARDIAN ANGELS & PRAYER

(In a letter he wrote on July 15, 1913, to Anita, one of his spiritual daughters, he gives her valuable advice regarding how to act in relation to her guardian angel, and prayer. it would do us well to also take Padre Pio’s advice to heart. Two minutes to read.)

Dear Daughter of Jesus, May your heart always be a temple of the Holy Spirit. May Jesus increase the fire of his love in your soul and may he always smile upon you, as he does on all the souls that he loves. May Mary Most Holy smile upon you during all the events of your life, and abundantly make up for the absence of your earthly mother. May your good guardian angel always watch over you, and be your guide on the rough path of life. May he always keep you in the grace of Jesus and hold you up with his hands so that you may not hurt your foot on a stone. May he protect you under his wings from all the deceits of the world, the devil and the flesh. Have great devotion, Anita, to this beneficent angel. How consoling it is to know that we have a spirit who, from the womb to the tomb, never leaves us even for an instant, not even when we dare to sin. And this heavenly spirit guides and protects us like a friend, a brother. But it is very consoling to know that this angel prays unceasingly for us, and offers God all of our good actions, our thoughts, and our desires, if they are pure. Oh! For goodness’ sake, don’t forget this invisible companion, ever present, ever disposed to listen to us and even more ready to console us. Oh, wonderful intimacy! Oh, blessed companionship! If only we could understand it! Keep him always before your mind’s eye. Remember this angel’s presence often, thank him, pray to him, always keep up a good relationship. Open yourself up to him and confide your suffering to him. Be always afraid of offending the purity of his gaze. Know this, and keep it well present in your mind. He is easily offended, very sensitive. Turn to him in moments of supreme anguish and you will experience his beneficent help. Never say that you are alone in the battle against your enemies; never say that you have no one to whom you can open your heart and confide. It would be a grave injustice to this heavenly messenger. Humble yourself before the Lord and trust in him; spend your energy, with the help of divine grace, in the practice of the virtues, and then let grace work in you as God desires. The virtues are what sanctify the soul and not supernatural phenomena. Pray out loud as well; the time has not yet come to abandon these prayers. Support the difficulties you experience when doing this with patience and humility. Also be ready to suffer distractions and dryness, and you must not, under any circumstances, abandon prayer and meditation. It is the Lord who wants to treat you this way for your spiritual advantage…. P. Pio

The Four Last Things

LET US NOT PRESUME TO BE ALWAYS FORGIVEN

“Our frail nature would not be strong enough if God’s justice were to rise up to take vengeance. Therefore, He employs mercy, since at all times we are held by debt. But do not sin, O man, expecting that you will repent; and do not succumb [to sin] being confident of forgiveness! Remember that death will not delay. Do not craftily seek means to draw nigh the pleasure of sin with a knavish mind! God is not mocked [Gal. 6:7]. His knowledge precedes your thoughts. Affliction will overtake you suddenly, and when you cry out, He will not answer you.”

St. Isaac the Syrian
