Sheila this is the Angelus:

The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary:
And she conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of
our death. Amen.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.

Hail Mary . . .

And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary . . .


Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you" (Lk 1:28)

"Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb"
(Lk 1:42).

Thank you, Onaspiritualjourney

You're welcome Sheila - it was from the EWTN site.

Thank you for sharing your seeing Jesus, Divine Mercy.

I also saw him in a dream when I was a child of 7 or 8.

He took me for a walk up a great flight of white marble stairs to a balcony and when I see the picture of Him standing in front of doors with the stone floor under His feet. I know that is very like the place He took me.

I thought He was my guardian angel and it was my 16 th birthday when I found a picture in a drawer at school and said "that is my guardian angel" that my school companion said "don't be stupid, that is Jesus" I was gobsmacked.

About the feeling of fear of judgement. I went through that, even to the point of thinking I was predestined to be lost for a few years. The way I handled that was to say and I mean it even now. While I live I can praise and bless God, and try to please Him. If I end up lost, I will no longer be able to praise Him and we are created to praise and bless and obey Him.

This response (praying anyway) to feeling I was a hopeless sinner and lost, cured my fears and I realised it was a temptation from Gods' enemy after I found a way to fight back with doing the simple thing of choosing to bless and praise God even when it seemed it was useless.

I am always seeking someone else who saw Jesus Divine Mercy. He is beautiful and loving and kind. And I think those who see Him are plagued by Gods enemy. But we have nothing to fear.

It takes time to fast properly, do 15 decades. These are not dictates to get frightened about, they are advice in love. Please, go easy on yourself.

Glad to hear such story. I'm not sure if I sound selfish. But recently, my partner (well we have been dating for 6 more months already) has been calling me to follow him to go his church (Baptist church) and I'm a Catholic. He said his friends can't wait to see me there. I was thinking, is that possible for him to attend mine (catholic church service)? Is that possible to pray that he will convert to Catholic?
