Exaltation to Mary:
Queen of Saints
To God be the glory
For enthroning you, Mama Mary
As Queen of Saints – Queen of Heavenly Host
Among all queens & saints – you are the foremost
You are the Most Blessed Queen
The Queen of queens, the Queen of Saints, free of sin
The saints in heaven bow down to you, oh Queen Mary
Oh Heavenly Queen, to you also glory be.
Amen.

Veneration to Mary:
Blessed Among Saints
Oh Mary, handmaid of Jehovah
She has our veneration of hyperdulia
Below God, but above all saints
She is Blessed Among Saints
Oh Mary, blessed are you by Jehovah
Our honor & adoration to you, Santa Maria
Praise God for having blessed you among the many
We venerate next to Him the Saint Mary.
Amen.

*Veneration to Mary as Blessed
As thoroughly compelling
At play, with each
Whilst so conspicuously lit
Face, heart-gladdened
No less blessed, whose shamefaced,
Trembly fear-sobbed
Fervent prayed outcome: Heaven!
With God as friend.

All Saints' Day Prayer to Santa Muerte
Santa Muerte in brown this All Saints Day
This day during the feast of all saints of God
Remind us of sacred beings this day
Never deny them of the honors we had
With your Incense we invite those sacred beings
Through the sweet smell of this smoke offering
This day of God's sacred blessings
As Holy Death is a sacred happening.
Amen.

Honor the Angels & Saints
Angels & Saints are friends of God
Honoring them has never been bad
They can help us become closer
To the One we worship up there
Through them, our Creator magnifies His glory
That many are with Him though He's one & only
To honor His friends is to honor Him too!

*18th Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet
They set up organizations
Geared to helping the poor
How on earth does the CEO
End up having more
Buying agreement with votes
To secure a name in time
Money, always shifting
To bring comfort to the bind
Funny how giving what you got
Is very different among the lowly
Every connection that arises
Ebbs and flows, with patience, very slowly
Relief comes as compassion
Rather than a leftover gift of disdain
Resources are sacred and shared
Without a thought of personal gain
It is the heartbeat of eternity
That sets the flow of giving
Those who engage in benevolent B.M.'s
Well, those chaps, they aren't among the living

The Communion of Saints
Through the Catholic Church, we create one body
Of those who have faith in our Savior Jesus Christ
This body must have union with those in heaven & purgatory
For those with God who are in heaven
Are not there to abandon their brethren
They are there to help the souls of men
Their closeness to God made them intercessors
Among the blameless and the transgressors
As friends of God, they are worth our honors.

*12th Daily Reflection from Catechism Bookle
Pouring wisdom words of gold
Sinners and saints seeking soul
Amethyst hearts embracing prayers
Lavender wishes despite nay sayers
My God is great make no mistake
In the rooms where good men lay dying
The air is foul and vile
The doors are locked from the inside
And no one can hear the crying.
In the rooms where good men lay dying
You can’t beat death with a smile
The walls are steeped in innocent blood
And love has given up trying.
In the rooms where good men lay dying
All is filled with the empty husks of life
No just battles are ever won here
And the air is overburdened with strife.
No light will ever come in by chance
While God’s angels patiently keep the score
The demons play outside and dance
In the space beyond the door.
In the rooms where good men lay dying
The cries and noise of this world can enter not
Only voices of angels, saints and martyrs are heard
Comforting them still living but not to be disturbed.
Closed off from this nasty world of pain and sin
Where war and crime and violence win
These rooms were made to save the saved
Returning to an eternity of God’s love forever deserved.
I celebrate all saints this summer's end,
Who help ward off evil ghost that contend...
Against peace, such BLUE wearer
In guise costumes like sharer
Who feels impact; their sacrilege ascend.
Happy Halloween Day!
Their love to God was
unyielding ,unswerving,
unshakeable.
They suffered martyrdom
for their unwavering, .unremitting
love ,devotion to God
They always forgave their
persecutor.
Their heart was full of love to
their enemies.
Death strikes with its wicked grin,
Deep grief and sorrow it brings,
Flights to heaven then begin,
When our souls fly without wings,
Each saint bears a halo ring,
They reign there as queens and kings,
With Angels near a calm spring.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who delivereth His generals from the snares of the enemy.
In their great fall, He forsook them not,
But upheld them with His hand and called them once more.
He is the Shepherd who leaves not His own,
The Watchman who allows no harm to overtake His chosen.
Blessed be His Word;
Wise are all His precepts.
O marvelous King, full of mercy and power,
Thou rememberest the fallen and restorest the righteous.
For though the righteous fall, yet shall they rise again,
Because Thy love endureth forever.
Thank Thee, O Lord, for Thy everlasting kindness.
All glory be unto Thee
Who was, and is to come.
Amen.
The 1st Commandment does not forbid us to honor the saints in Heaven
As long as we do not give them the honor that belongs to Eternal God alone
When we pray to the saints we ask them to offer their prayers to Eternal God for us
We do not pray to the crucifix
Or the images of Father Christ
And of the Saints but to the person whom they remind us
“The Communion of Saints” is meant the union of the faithful on earth
The b;essed in Heaven
And the souls in the purgatory
With Father Christ as their Head
The word “Saints means “the holy ones”
The Baptism gives us the beginning of holiness
And Heaven is for those who are perfectly holy
By “the forgiveness of sins” in the Apostles Creed meant that Eternal God has given to the Church
Through Father Christ
The power to forgive sins
Father Christ gave the power to His Apostles
It has been handed down through the years to the priests of the Roman Catholic Church today
