Our Lady of America Song
Click here for Website of the Song
The words to the song “Our Lady of America” were written by Sister Mildred Mary Ephrem Neuzil herself under a moment of inspiration. These words were then set to music by Richard Paul Rencher and later recorded by Marty Rotella of The Divine Mercy and Life Foundation in New Jersey. This song was sung by Mr. Rotella at Sister Mildred’s funeral Mass at the Basilica of the Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, Ohio in January, 2000. The song is copyrighted to the Contemplative Sisters of the Indwelling Trinity in Fostoria, Ohio.
We hope that this simple little song will become a heartfelt prayer for you to beg Our Lady of America to deliver us, especially here in America, from the “culture of death” that is enveloping the whole world in such spiritual darkness, drawing so many into an abyss of evil, without God and without Mary’s loving, maternal care. Let it sing like a prayer in your hearts and rise to heaven for the conversion of America.

(1) Prayer to St. Joseph the Worker
O glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thine example, O Patriarch, St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
(2) Prayer to St. Joseph the Worker
St. Joseph, by the work of your hands and the sweat of your brow, you supported Jesus and Mary, and had the Son of God as your fellow worker. Teach me to work as you did, with patience and perseverance, for God and for those whom God has given me to support. Teach me to see in my fellow workers the Christ who desires to be in them, that I may always be charitable and forbearing towards all. Grant me to look upon work with the eyes of faith, so that I shall recognize in it my share in God’s own creative activity and in Christ’s work of our redemption, and so take pride in it. When it is pleasant and productive, remind me to give thanks to God for it. And when it is burdensome, teach me to offer it to God, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the world.
O good father Joseph! I beg you, by all your sufferings, sorrows and joys, to obtain for me what I ask.
(insert your specific employment request here.)
Obtain for all those who have asked my prayers, everything that is useful to them in the plan of God. Be near to me in my last moments, that I may eternally sing the praises of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)

(4) Prayer to St. Joseph for Employment
Dear Saint Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon me in my anxiety over my present inability to support my family. Please help me to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from my heart and that I am soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.

April 23 2018: Archbishop D’Ascenzo’s first visit to Luisa Piccarreta
Archbishop Monsignor Leonardo D’Ascenzo
(Click here for website)
On April 23, on the occasion of the anniversary of the birth of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, our Archbishop Monsignor Leonardo D’Ascenzo will visit, for the first time, the house of Luisa and will meet the Association Luisa Piccarreta Little Children of the Divine Will.
Our bishop will have the opportunity to know the reality of the sons and daughters of the Divine Will and it would be nice that in some way this visit can be shared also by all the brothers and sisters in Italy and in the world.
For this reason, those who have the opportunity to come to Corato can participate in the Celebration of Holy Mass at 7, 00 pm in the Church of Saint Mary the Greek and at the end take part in the meeting with the Archbishop.
However, for those who, can’t be present we ask to participate the same, first of all with the prayer and also with a photo or a video that you can send to the Association. Then they will merge into a video that we will show to the Archbishop in the evening of April 23rd.
It is a beautiful gesture to make him feel the presence of the great family of the children of the Divine Will in the world.
You can send your photos or videos to the email address of the association: info@luisapiccarretaofficial.org or pia.ass.luisalasanta@libero.it.
We look forward to meeting lots of youI
Fiat!

4/16 – A Very Blessed and Happy 93rd Birthday to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
Born April 16, 1927
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s words to people gathered at Castel Gandolfo:
“I am no longer the Pope but I am still in the church.
I’m just a pilgrim who is starting the last part of his pilgrimage on this earth.”
Letter #46 of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta.
In Voluntate Dei!
Most esteemed one in the Lord,
I assure you my poor prayers. Have great confidence, which conquers God, Who surrenders to your needs. Offer some Holy Masses to plead for what you want. Then put everything with filial abandonment into the hands of God and of the Queen – They, who love us so much and want to be loved. All that will happen will be always the best for you and for poor Jesus. Crosses make us be reborn to a new life of sanctity and of Grace; therefore the crosses which are borne with true resignation make us like Jesus and are our rebirths in good, in Love and in the Divine Volition, which wants to be our life. So, let us make everything flow in the Holy Will, if we want It to perform Its prodigies of love in our soul…
I commend myself to your prayers, and from the heart I will do it for you. And sending you the greeting of the Divine Volition, that may bring peace to you and balm to your pains, I say,
most affectionately yours,
the little daughter of the Divine Will
