Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Mary, Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for us!
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!

Catholic ping!
Good idea. Churches should have adoration and benediction the day the movie starts.
Will do!!
Just a thought....
Matthew 6:5-8
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.
I went to see United 93 and there were trailers for the Da Vinci Code. I didn't read the book, am not going to read it, and not going to see the movie.
My Question: Has anyone read the book and is the movie (essentially a crazy spy thriller nonsense stupid story) the same basic script as the book?
The trailers were some of the most stupid things I have ever seen and anyone who would believe any of that trash would have to be a dope.
will do
Ping! This ought'a git yur gun.
God can take it and use it to His will. There will be people who see it who are drawn to the faith. Just mho.
There are some reparation prayers that would be good, too:
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I bless You, I praise You, I glorify You, I magnify You, I adore You profoundly and I humbly raise my Spirit before you as I offer my prayer.
Lord, I offer you all the Love and the Praise and the Glory that You should have received from me, but because of my sinfulness, I have denied it to You.
Lord I offer you all the Love and the Praise and the Glory that you should have received from the human race since the time of Adam and Eve, but because of our sinfulness, we have denied it to You. I confess the sins of humanity and I am very sorry for them, Lord have Mercy on us.
Lord I offer you all the Love and the Praise and the Glory that you should have received from your Spiritual Creation which failed you through Lucifer and all the fallen spirits and angels and that has been denied to you.
I desire to do justice to You who are Justice and I offer you my life, united to the merits of your Holy Incarnate Word our Lord Jesus, His passion and His death, His precious body, blood, soul and divinity as reparation.
I also offer you the perfections, the virtues, the sorrows and the merits of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I offer you the merits of all the Patriarchs, the Prophets, the Apostles, the Martyrs, the Saints and those who have done Your Will through out the ages.
Blessed Mother Mary, with all the Heavenly Angels and Saints, and with all creation let us give Adoration, Honour, Praise and Glory to our God, forever and ever Amen.
"Golden Arrow"
(This prayer is said to have been revealed by Jesus Himself to a Carmelite Nun of Tours in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy. "This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully," He said, "and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy.")
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar. 1

Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the outrages unceasingly offered to Thee, we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the name of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee.
The more Thy mysteries are blasphemed, the more firmly we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus!
The more impiety endeavors to extinguish our hope of immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart, sole Hope of mankind!
The more hearts resist Thy Divine attractions, the more we shall love Thee, O infinitely amiable Heart of Jesus!
The more unbelief attacks Thy Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly we shall adore It, O Divine Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy holy laws are transgressed and ignored, the more we shall delight to observe them, O most holy Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Sacraments are despised and abandoned, the more frequently we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most generous Heart of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice them, O Heart, model of every virtue!
The more the devil labors to destroy souls, the more we shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart of Jesus, zealous Lover of souls!
The more sin and impurity destroy the image of God in man, the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living temple of the Holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Holy Church is despised, the more we shall endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more will we honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy Church, show our fidelity and pray for him, O kingly Heart of Jesus!
O Sacred Heart, through Thy powerful grace, may we become Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world, and be Thy crown in the kingdom of Heaven. Amen. 2

Praise to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Reparation for Blasphemy
Though the Virgin Mary is not God, she too is often insulted by unbelievers, and even by some who claim to love God! We Catholics cannot understand how someone could claim to love Jesus and not love the Mother He Himself loved so much. Yet since some people do just that, we, her children, might like to express our love for her to "make up" (so to speak) for the abuse and slander she endures. Since Jesus loves her so, He could only be pleased with the love we have for her. We love Mary for Jesus' sake, because He first loved her and gave her to us as our Mother.
Mary, my Immaculate Mother, I desire to offer you reparation for the offenses which your Immaculate Heart receives from the horrible blasphemies which are uttered against you. I offer you these praises to console you for so many ungrateful children who so not love you, and to console the Heart of your Divine Son Who is so deeply offended by the insults offered to you.
Receive, my Purest mother, this little act of homage. Make me love you more each day and look with pity on those blasphemers that they may not delay to cast themselves into your maternal arms. Amen.
V. Grant that I may praise you, O Holy Virgin.
R. Give me strength against your enemies.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary Most Holy.
Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception.
Blessed be her glorious Assumption.
Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be her Immaculate Heart.
Blessed be her Virginal Purity.
Blessed be her Divine Maternity.
Blessed be her Universal Mediation.
Blessed be her sorrows and her tears.
Blessed be the graces with which the Lord crowned her Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Glory be to Mary, Daughter of the Father,
Glory be to Mary, Mother of the Son,
Glory be to Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit.
My Mother, I love you for those who do not love you; I praise you for those who blaspheme you; I surrender myself to you for those who will not recognize you as their Mother.
(Repeat the portion in bold type five times)
And of course the prayers taught to the children at Fatima:
Pardon Prayer
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I implore Your pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You. Amen.
Angel's Prayer
Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy Spirit - I adore You profoundly and offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the earth, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He Himself is offended. And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and those of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners. Amen.
Sacrifice Prayer
O my Jesus, it is for love of you and in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for the conversion of poor sinners.
Penance Prayer
O My Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Great idea.
The stupid movie won't have an effect on fervent souls, but those who are wavering in their faith will be effected.
I'm having a Senior Moment. What's the release date for this again?
And don't forget to pray for those who worked on the film, that their souls will be converted to the real Jesus...
