December 2020 Newsletter

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! The Christmas Novena begins on December 16 and continues through December 24th. We are currently working on a prayer video that will contain the meditations and prayers for all 9 days of the novena. We will have the video uploaded onto our YouTube channel and our website on Saturday, December 12th.

Today is the first Friday of December. Are you aware of the First Friday Devotion? The Church grants a Plenary indulgence to those who attend Mass and receive Communion in honor of The Sacred Heart of Jesus on the First Friday of each month for nine (9) consecutive months. Jesus made 12 Promises to Saint Margaret Mary to those who consecrate the First Friday of each month in the spirit of reparation. For those who are seeking to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the First Friday devotion, we created this prayer video.

Did you know that we have started a virtual Catholic Bible Study on YouTube? The feedback that we have received has been terrific. Participation is completely up to your comfort level. We have some viewers who actively participate in the chat box, while the majority of our viewers simply like to sit back and watch and reflect privately. We invite you to try our Bible Study sometime. We meet every Tuesday evening at 8pm Eastern (5pm Pacific) on our Kate & Mike Catholic Crusade channel. The Bible Study guide is posted earlier in the day on our Kate & Mike Catholic Crusade website. Click here for additional information. We've also included a link down below.

Have you consecrated yourself yet to Jesus through our Blessed Mother? The month of December offers the opportunity to take the first step in consecrating yourself as recommended by St. Louis de Montfort. The "Consecration to Jesus through Mary - according to St. Louis Marie de Montfort" recommends a 33-day preparation period of daily readings and prayers prior to making your consecration on a Marian feast day. Find out the dates and additional information. The next start date for the 33-day preparation is December 31st, which will lead to your consecration to happen on the Feast Day of the Presentation of the Lord (February 2nd).

Prayer Against Every Evil (very powerful) - https://youtu.be/ocUQcVDnRoU

The Prayer Against Every Evil is a very powerful prayer in the Church that expels any demonic attachment to a soul by invoking the Precious Name of Jesus. It also breaks attachments to any spells and/or hoaxes that were cast upon a soul, offering complete liberation from the chains of the curse.

St. Faustina's Prayer for Priests - https://youtu.be/51CHfHziLLI

In her diary, St. Faustina composed this prayer for priests, imploring for the Lord to grant to them necessary graces and His Divine blessing upon His Church.

The three o'clock hour is the hour that Christ died on the cross. It was at this moment that the gates of Heaven opened up for souls, and according to the Diary of St. Faustina, Jesus said that it is the hour of great mercy. Whatever a soul asks of the Lord at this hour, he will not deny, as long as it is asked with love and trust in His Divine Mercy. This prayer was given to St. Faustina by Jesus to be said at the 3 o'clock hour each day. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is ordinarily prayed afterwards.

Act of Contrition (Traditional) - https://youtu.be/LqIDrEvLtDU

The Act of Contrition is a powerful prayer of penance that is prayed after confessing one's sins to a priest in confession. After making an act of contrition, the priest will grant absolution to the penitent, absolving him/her of their sins by the grace of God.
