Offer roses for any needs-- bloomed rosebuds from prayed rosary beads.
A poor holy soul reposes-- from our Little Crown of Roses.
We must pray a whole rose garden, to help sinners' hearts not harden!
And keep in our hearts the pure priest, with white roses of prayer increased.
Plus don't forget the Chaplet too, and Consecration prayers renew...
Dear Merciful Jesus--
making Holy Eye Contact with You is a start
to gazing with trust on the Blood & Water
---gushing forth from Your pierced Heart!

Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
-- again, I have sinned again :(
I'm uncomfortable in my own skin
disgraced, defiled, by my own sin
Do you know everywhere I've been?
Did I hurt You, seeing all my sin? :(
Is this world safe-- to run, within
to You, when --I miss Your arms again
I'm ashamed and repent; lost my grin
wishing I'd never --ever-- sin again :(
Is there one reason now, to begin :O
-- again-- if I have sinned again??
With MercySong, sweeter than a violin
You woo me back, past my chagrin :D
Have mercy on us! Okay? You win! :)
You forgive and forget, again, again
But that's no excuse to sin-- again! :(
Doing wrong to teachers, friends, or kin
Your Truth sets free each sincere human
Open to Your Grace to be freed from sin

DAMASCUS
Your opinion palpitates
on and off.
Riding on the horse of
pride,
You stumble across
your soul.
Ignorant about the
chaplet of pride,
Creampuff due to horse
pleasure
You ditto to continue.
Angels are in
accordance
Whilst you ride on the
horse of pride
On the road to
Damascus.
A great voice descends
on you
In the chambers of your
memory.
The tempest washes
your opinion away.
Even though you are
power drunk
And you are pride drunk,
Kiss goodbye to your
opinion,
Set out of your
opinion's hair
And dive into a
humble opinion
As you have more than
one
String on your bow.

We use a rosary to pray Chaplet of Divine Mercy
For those who don’t know or love God
To convert sinners, pray for them
None of us deserves God’s forgiveness
However
Whenever we pray for His forgiveness, He does
He loves us so much
Many people in our world who are sad
They think God will not forgive their sins
They think He’s mean
St. Faustina was born a special child
She felt she has chosen to transmit the message of God’s mercy
You can always see Him in the Tabernacle
He is always there…
We can offer our difficulties to God in reparation of sinners
Those people who don’t love Him
He appeared to St. Faustina’s cell
Ordered her to paint an image she see
And put below it “Jesus, I trust in You”
Jesus desired for the image to be honored around the world
Message of Divine Mercy is Jesus Christ
Loves all of us
This love was shown when God the Father sent His son to die in the cross for our sins
God the Father is always ready to forgive us when we ask
That’s why we should always confess to the same priest
Because he knows us and give us advice
God is offended when someone doesn’t love Him
That person’s suffer because they don’t love Him
