Lord Jesus Christ, we beg Thee for the grace
to remain guarded beneath the protective mantle of Mary,
surrounded by the holy briar from which was taken the Holy Crown of Thorns,
and saturated with Thy Precious Blood in the power of the Holy Spirit,
with our Guardian Angels,
for the greater glory of the Father.
Amen.
Mother Angelica instructed her nuns to do everything to keep her alive, no matter how much she suffered, because every day she suffered, she suffered for God.
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for the Kingdom of God is yours.
Blessed are you who are now hungry,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who are now weeping,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
and when they exclude and insult you,
and denounce your name as evil
on account of the Son of Man.Rejoice and leap for joy on that day!
Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.
For their ancestors treated the prophets
in the same way.
But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.
But woe to you who are filled now,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will grieve and weep.
Woe to you when all speak well of you,
for their ancestors treated the false
prophets in this way.”

Thy shall not bear false witness
Against thy neighbor,
Against thyself,
Know thyself,
Be honest,
Onto thyself,
Dissect afflictions,
Authentic examination
Conscience inspection,
Preparation of confession,
Cleansing, unburdening,
Warfare continues renewed.
