Month Dedicated to Our Holy Mother, Mary

Blessings dearly beloved ones,

I, “a soul”, had intended to write this specific commentary for the Lent Season, but time escaped me. So, now, I am taking a moment to do this writing, because I believe it is still important for you, my dearest followers of MaryRefugeOfSouls, to hear. I want to speak about a powerful teaching that nobody really knows about. It is something important that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, told me that Papa God wanted His precious children on earth to know about. And I want to speak about a related dream involving a most powerful Saint in Heaven.

Earlier this year, during the months of January and February, I was having great difficulty in my prayer life. I just could not focus or concentrate in my daily prayers. And it seemed like there was great distance between me and my beloved, Jesus, whose holy Voice I could not hear in my prayers during those days. It was very troubling, making me cry in my prayer struggles; and honestly, it felt like I was under a curse.

So, as the days got closer to Ash Wednesday, I knew that I would need help in order to get over my prayer hurtle. As I wanted to have a good Lent Season, preparing for Holy Week. So, I did something that I had done a few times in the past. I petitioned Papa God to assign me a holy angel to help me with my prayer life. Which is a powerful teaching that I do not think that people know about.

Beloved ones, I want you to know that whenever you are facing great difficulties, challenges, or struggles in life, you can petition Papa God to assign a holy angel to help you overcome whatever you are facing. Papa God Is such a wonderful God, a loving Father Who tenderly provides for His precious children. He will NOT deny you if you ask Him for a holy angel to help you, as a special assignment for your issue, problem, or struggle in temptation and sin, etc. This holy angel would be in addition to your guardian angel, who is your constant companion and constant defender from evil forces. And this holy angel may be on permanent or temporary assignment, depending on your particular needs.

So, I petitioned Papa God for a holy angel to help me with my prayer difficulties. And thereafter, the quality of my prayers did get better. In fact, a few days later, I was able to sing the Divine Mercy Chaplet for a few hours, which is my favorite prayer. Then, that same night, my beloved, Jesus, surprised me. As He indicated that Papa God had assigned me a holy archangel from the angelic choirs to help me with my prayers. Then, my holy helper introduced himself to me. All of which was a pleasant and nice surprise.

So, afterwards, my prayer life improved very much. Then Ash Wednesday arrived and I had a very interesting related religious dream. It was early evening and I was very tired. However, because I had things that I needed to do for this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls, I knew that I could not retire to bed early. So, I decided to take a quick nap in my bedroom. I went to sleep and I immediately slipped into having a religious dream.

Firstly, in my dream, I opened my eyes and I was still in my bedroom, lying on my bed. My bedroom looked exactly what it looks like when I am awake and the dream was in full color. And as I peered ahead, I saw a demonic entity, frozen, at the foot of my bed. he was turned sideways, so I could not see his face or full appearance. However, I knew that this devil frozen in place was satan.

So, then I thought to myself, oh, great, here I am so tired and now, I am having a demonic nightmare and I have to fight ugly… (my name for satan).

Then, I turned my head and I saw three devils glaring at me, with evil smirks. They were sitting about two feet away from me, frozen next to the right-hand side of my bed, watching my reaction to their demonic presence. Now, my dearest friends know that I really detest saying demonic names, as I do not like to acknowledge devils at all. But, I will tell you that two of the devils I recognized, as they are mentioned in Sacred Scriptures.

The first devil is an evil spirit that I have had spiritual battles with before. The name I call him is “wet noodle”, as in Sacred Scriptures, he is a sea monster. And it is my understanding, that wet noodle is the second most powerful devil under ugly in hell. The second devil is “old rooster” who is also in Sacred Scriptures, in the Book of Tobit, who challenges Saint Raphael Archangel. And the last devil, I do not know who it was, but he appeared as a huge black dog. Which did not surprise me, as oftentimes, devils appear to me as demonic dogs or demonic cats, etc.

So, upon seeing this, I realized that these three entities were the personal devils that satan had assigned to irritate me and were the ones responsible for my prayer life being so disrupted lately. So, I was grateful for this revelation from God, but of course, I was still tired and bothered that I had to battle ugly, wet noodle, old rooster, and black-y dog during my nap.

So, in my dream, I started with a litany. I prayed by invoking the intercession of several powerful Saints. I called upon about a dozen Saints by name, and suddenly, my dream “shifted”. Still dreaming, I closed my eyes — so, it was like I was dreaming within my dream — and I could hear the voices about twenty Saints. This group of twenty Saints consisted of all the powerful intercessors that I had called upon, as well as a few other powerful Saints that were known to me, but I did not call directly upon their names.

And as I was hearing their voices, honestly, it sounded like these twenty Saints were gathering together for a festive party in Heaven. Truly, I was reminded of how everyone greets each other when you first arrive at a fun party on earth. Except this was a fun party taking place in Heaven and I could hear all these powerhouse Saints greeting each other like the dearest and bestest of friends. I could hear laughter, light banter and chatter, as they were so animated and excited as if they had not seen each other in years. Really, it sounded like they were having a great time together, and I thought to myself, ugh, here I am stuck having to battle ugly and his rascal band…

Then, all of a sudden, I hear the holy Voice of my beloved, Jesus. I heard Him cry out, “Saint Patrick!!” and immediately, I thought to myself, whoops, that was the one Saint that I missed out on asking for his intercession! Which, of course, made me instantly embarrassed. And, in my dream, I know that Saint Patrick, Patron Saint of Ireland, instantly came to this powerful gathering of Saintly intercessors in Heaven.

Then, something very amazing and marvelous began to unfold. Saint Patrick whipped out an Irish flute and began to play a sweet melodic tune. And immediately, the group of twenty powerhouse Saints began to sing in unison in Heaven.

Beloved ones, this Saintly choir and their celestial music made me awestruck. I was captivated by this ethereal, delightful serenade. Although I did not understand the lyrics — as the song was in an heavenly tongue — it was a glorious sound fest for my earthly ears. I was so carried away in my spirit to hear all these gorgeous voices singing together to the melody of Saint Patrick playing his Irish flute. I was enthralled.

So, then in my dream, I opened my eyes, and I could still see ugly and his cohort of three devils watching me in my bedroom. So then, still dreaming, I began praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet. And I continued praying the chaplet, while listening to my celestial choir of powerhouse intercessors singing protective prayers over me. Finally, ugly and his band of misfits left my presence; and I was able to get a little bit of sleep before needing to wake up.

Now, when I did wake up, I immediately looked online for information about Saint Patrick, whom honestly I did not know anything about him. So, I read about his amazing life and his devout faith. And what I found out delightfully surprised me. I discovered that Saint Patrick was known to play the flute; and there is a famous tale about how he drove out all the snakes from Ireland by his flute playing. And I discovered that Saint Patrick was very fond of animals, similar to Saint Francis of Assisi. In fact, Saint Patrick had a very close connection with dogs, as he was a type of “dog whisperer”. So, for example, evil people would often send their mean dogs to attack him when he was evangelizing throughout Ireland. However, whenever these attack dogs would approach him, Saint Patrick would kneel down and the dogs would become instantly friendly towards him, desiring to be pet instead. So, he was never threatened in any way by these mean animals.

Thereafter, I had no doubt that Papa God and my beloved, Jesus, desired me to not only continue to invoke the powerhouse intercession of the Communion of Saints, but that God desired me, in particular, to invoke the powerful, glorious defense of Saint Patrick, Patron Saint of Ireland. And I knew that God desired me to share my testimony on the blog so others would have confidence in the ever-loyal and constant protection of the Saints in Heaven, who truly love and desire the best for each of us, and especially, in Saint Patrick, who is most powerful in spiritual warfare.

Also, I want to encourage people to seek out the intercession of many Saints, whenever you are having difficulties or challenges in life. As so many people limit the blessings and graces that they could receive from Heaven. As all the Saints desire to help us out in our daily needs. So, do not be afraid to petition for help from many different Saints, concerning any particular issue or problem, because they will all work together to intercede for your needs. So, form your own heavenly “prayer group” — your own little Communion of Saints — that you can rely on for constant, unfailing help and protection, as they tenderly love and cherish your deepest friendship.

God bless you, my dearest brothers and sisters in Christ.

Prayer – The Lorica of Saint Patrick – Patron Saint of Ireland

THE POWERFUL AND PREEMINENT PRAYER OF EXORCISM
THE LORICA OF SAINT PATRICK, PATRON SAINT OF IRELAND

Lorica of St. Patrick (433 AD)
(literally meaning “breastplate”)

The Lorica of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is best known for only one of its verses (the one that begins “Christ with me”). But the full version incorporates all the elements of Catholic morning prayer: It is an Act of Faith (expressing the Catholic teaching on the Trinity and on Christ); an Act of Hope (in God’s protection throughout the day and throughout life, as well as in eternal salvation); and an Act of Charity (in the love expressed for God). It is, therefore, an ideal morning prayer, especially for those who have a devotion to St Patrick.

I arise today through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity,
through belief in the Threeness,
through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation.

I arise today through the strength of Christ with His Baptism,
through the strength of His Crucifixion with His Burial,
through the strength of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
through the strength of His descent for the Judgment of Doom.

I arise today through the strength of the love of Cherubim
in obedience of Angels,
in the service of the Archangels,
in hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
in prayers of Patriarchs, in predictions of Prophets,
in preachings of Apostles, in faiths of Confessors,
in innocence of Holy Virgins, in deeds of righteous men.

I arise today, through the strength of Heaven:
light of Sun, brilliance of Moon, splendour of Fire,
speed of Lightning, swiftness of Wind, depth of Sea,
stability of Earth, firmness of Rock.

I arise today, through God’s strength to pilot me:
God’s might to uphold me, God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me, God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me, God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me, God’s shield to protect me,

God’s host to secure me:
against snares of devils, against temptations of vices,
against inclinations of nature, against everyone who
shall wish me ill, afar and anear, alone and in a crowd.

I summon today all these powers between me (and these evils):
against every cruel and merciless power that may oppose my body and my soul,
against incantations of false prophets,
against black laws of heathenry,
against false laws of heretics,
against craft of idolatry,
against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
against every knowledge that endangers man’s body and soul.

Christ to protect me today
against poison, against burning,
against drowning, against wounding,
so that there may come abundance of reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ in breadth, Christ in length,
Christ in height,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, through belief in the Threeness, through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation.

Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of Christ.

May Thy Salvation, O Lord, be ever with us.
AMEN.

Saint Luke the Evangelist to Valentina Papagna – “We keep coming to you because our Lord is so offended – It is only a few in the world that really listen – Most people do not believe in God but believe in nothing, so they continue to live in sin”

We are One

Lord Jesus said, “Do you know I still walk in the world?”

He continued, “I take you to the wasteland of Purgatory, and there you see how enormous it is.

I place you there so that you can help the Holy Souls and give them encouragement. Then I go around the world, I look at the misery of the world, and that is where we meet. You come from one direction, and I come from the other, and we meet in this open area. Finally, we meet face to face.”

Jesus and I met in a vast open space, in a most beautiful garden. He looked about nineteen to twenty years of age.

He said, “For doing all of that which you are doing (helping the Holy Souls) and doing that which I direct you to do, I love you so much. You are obedient to Me. You offer Me everything, and you accept all that I tell you.”

Jesus then came up very close to me and embraced me. He looked directly into my eyes and then kissed me right on the mouth. His Eyes were so beautiful, a pure crystal blue colour. He released me, and then He hugged me again. He said, “See, how intimate we are. We are one. We are doing the same work – to save souls.”

“You are worthy of that because you obey Me,” He said.

I feel like I am part of His family. I could only go to places where He would direct me to go, to help the poor souls, and to give them encouragement.

The kiss of Jesus is a blessing from Him, for speaking His Holy Word. I was so surprised.

Feast of St Francis of Assisi
St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta

During the Holy Mass, just before the Consecration, a young person appeared in front of me. He was tall and slim, with beautiful dark hair and dressed in a long, dark brown habit like a priest or a monk. A handsome gentleman.

He smiled and said, “Valentina, you have the privilege for me to come to speak to you.”

Smiling, he said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is St Francis of Assisi. I come to tell you that Jesus loves you so much. Don’t be sad about the things that you experience, for the hardships and struggles in your life. Be happy for the great reward that awaits you in Heaven, for all your fatigue from the pain that He gives you to save other souls. I tell you, all of that, produces good fruits.”

“It is hard for you to understand because you don’t see this. We of Heaven pray for you so that you can endure all that the Lord sends to you.”

St Francis then began to speak of himself, “I, too, suffered much on earth, and was very poor sometimes. I even lacked a piece of bread, was ridiculed and not wanted among people, but I endured all and offered it all to our Lord Jesus, everything to console Him.”

“Valentina, we all fulfil His Holy Will, all for His glory.”

St Francis reminds us to pray to him by saying, “Valentina, tell people to intercede to me for their intentions. I will pray for whoever asks me. Tell them to especially intercede to me for tolerance and peace, which most of the people need these days. People are very restless, and they have no peace.”

Thank you, St Francis, for all your teachings. Pray for us.

My Churches are becoming like a Warehouse
St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta

Today at Holy Mass, during the distribution of Holy Communion, our Lord lamented how much He is offended each time people approach Him at the Holy Altar to receive Him in Holy Communion.

He said, “They come to receive Me unrepentant, full of sin and very casually. It is like a habit; one sees from the other, and then the whole church comes to receive Me.”

“My churches everywhere are becoming like a warehouse. They try to entertain people, and in response, people clap their hands. Their behaviour is indescribable! My beloved priests are silent to all of this. They do not teach people about reverence in the church, and they do not teach them about the need for silence in the church.”

“In the olden days, people would tip-toe as they would enter a church, not to disturb others while they are in prayer.”

Jesus then lamented to me about how people these days dress immodestly in His Church.

He said, “Today, the fashion offends Me greatly. People dress provocatively, almost half-naked. All of this must change.”

“Pray that I will soon touch the world so that people will come to know that all of this behaviour is wrong. Pray, that they will change. The whole world needs repentance.”

Our Lord Jesus was very upset today at what He sees in His Church.

Lord Jesus, have mercy on us all. We pray that people will repent and will respect the sacred silence of the church, that they will dress with modesty and receive You worthily, and that they will always show reverence in Your Holy Presence.

Two Angels and St Luke the Evangelist

This morning while I was praying, I received a surprise visitation. Suddenly, there appeared two angels, accompanied by a saintly person from Heaven. They introduced me to St Luke the Evangelist.

The two angels said, “Valentina, we were sent to you by our Lord Jesus Christ to reveal what our Lord wants us to tell you.”

“Our Lord Jesus is offended by humanity in the world, more and more than in any previous ages. The behaviour of humanity is so evil. It is uncontrollable and most sinful.”

“How long will our Lord permit this to carry on? You, yourself, must console our Lord and tell Him that you love Him. Speak to people. Tell them to change, to convert, and to repent.”

St Luke then came up very close to me. He has dark hair and an olive complexion. He was wearing a long, dark brown robe.

St Luke said, “The people of the world are not mature. They don’t pray for wisdom, so they never mature.”

“For instance, mothers don’t raise their children properly. They do not teach them anything spiritual that will benefit their souls. From an early age, they only teach them about modern technology, and they give them little objects with push buttons, to amuse themselves.”

“As the children are amused by these objects, the mothers are then free, so they do not need to talk to their children. They don’t have much to do with their children.”

“God wants the mothers to teach their children about the spiritual life, to teach them about the faith, and to teach them about what is right and what is wrong. It is important in their young lives. That is why so many young people end up going in the wrong direction. Many marriages break down because the husband and wife do not have much faith. God is not the centre of their lives. They do not have much unity in order to communicate with one another, to forgive one another, and help one another.”

He said, “Valentina, that is why so many young people and men are falling into Hell.”

St Luke spoke in a scholarly and very serious manner.

In stern tone, he said, “And I tell you Hell is real! How many are heading on that road and falling into the trap of the devil?”

“I blame priests in the churches because they don’t speak the truth about Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. Tell people they really exist, and it is the Truth.”

St Luke was so upset when he said, “I tell you there are so many godless people living on earth today!”

“Valentina, speak the Truth, even if you are condemned for this. Jesus is on your side. He is protecting you. Nobody can harm you.”

“We keep coming to you because our Lord is so offended. It is only a few in the world that really listen. Most people do not believe in God but believe in nothing, so they continue to live in sin.”

St Luke, please pray for us.
