It also brings the reality of its time sequence in scripture as it is read. Each week and daily in the services we come closer to the anniversary of the greatest act of all mankind. It is special. I stay longer in prayer at the chapel at these times. It never feels like something cheap like mere words with me.
There are too many pharisaical acts on these threads by us all. I think we all should be fasting however one titles it. If anything is blocking us it is the spirit of the air. Ephesians 6:12
Matthew 17:21 "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Eternal Father, we offer Thee the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Thy Beloved Son and my Divine Redeemer, for all my relations, friends and enemies, for the poor, the sick, and those in tribulation, and for all those for whom Thou willest I should pray, or knowest that I ought to pray.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Blessed and praised forevermore be Jesus Who hath saved us by His Precious Blood!
Also Eternal Father, I offer Thee the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Thy Beloved Son and my Redeemer, for all those who shall this day pass to another life, that Thou mayest preserve them from the pains of Hell and admit them the more readily to the possession of Thy glory.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Blessed and praised forevermore be Jesus Who hath saved us by His Precious Blood!
Amen!
