12/11 Feast Day of Our Lady Queen of Angels
“There was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God.” St. Luke, 2: 13.
Today we honor Mary as Queen of the Angels. As our thoughts fly up to heaven, we pass by all the nine choirs of angels up to the very throne of God, to behold the Queen of all these heavenly spirits. We can call Our Lady, Queen of the Angels, because she was more favored by God than all the angels, and she can and really does do more for our souls than the heavenly spirits could ever do. These spirits are the servants of God; but Our Blessed Lady is the Daughter of God the Father, Mother of God the Son, and Spouse of God the Holy Spirit. All through her life we see the angels about our Blessed Mother:
1. We see the Archangel Gabriel announcing to the Blessed Virgin that she is to be the Mother of God. This Archangel salutes her, greets her, honors her, because he realized that Mary was his Queen.
2. At Bethlehem we hear the angels announce the birth of Jesus, the Son of God in a stable. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will.” There was a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and honoring their Queen, even though she was a humble, simple Jewish Mother. These heavenly messengers came from the throne of God to tell the world that this Child was really the Son of God.
3. Again the angels enter Our Lady’s life when they warned St. Joseph to take the Child and flee into Egypt. What is the power of the sword, when the angels of God spread their wings to protect the Infant Son of God? The angels protected the Holy Family as they made that perilous, tedious trip to a foriegn land, and also during their sojourn there.
4. After the Death and Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the angels were at the tomb. One of them rolled away the stone and then announced: “Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come and see the place where the Lord was laid.” (Matt. 28: 5) They helped Mother Mary to see her risen Son.
5. Finally, on Ascension day two angels addressed the disciples, with Our Lady accompanying them, as they looked at the departing Master: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up to heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall come in the same way as you have seen Him going up to heaven.” (Acts 1:11)
6. According to an unquestionable tradition of Mother Church, Our Lady was taken into heaven by the hands of angels. Thus, all through her life messengers of the Almighty waited upon her, honored her, and brought her messages. Prayer and devotion to Our Lady, Queen of Angels, and all the choirs of angels throughout our life on earth and especially in death, gives us hope that we too will be assisted into heaven by their hands.

There are very few organizations out there like Signs & Wonders dedicated to collecting, spreading, and living the Messages that Our Lady has shared globally for the past century.
And, very few are providing you with all the resources necessary to contemplate and live the spiritual life according to the Messages of Our Lady.
After one week, we are still a LONG way from reaching our $30,000 goal by Christmas.
Don’t forget, every donation you make between now and Christmas will be doubled, up to $30,000! What better way than to invest in the Kingdom of God! Your return on your investment will be multiplied into so many graces for the conversion of souls
12/4 Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe (Feast: December 12)
Memorare of Our Lady of Guadalupe
(to be prayed each day)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin of Guadalupe, that in your heavenly apparitions on the mount of Tepeyac, you promised to show your compassion and pity towards all who, loving and trusting you, seek your help and call upon you in their necessities and afflictions. You promised to hear our supplications, to dry our tears, and to give us consolation and relief.
Never has it been known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly to you, O Mary, ever-Virgin Mother of the true God! Though grieving under the weight of our sins, we come to prostrate ourselves before you. We fully trust that, standing beneath your shadow and protection, nothing will trouble or afflict us, nor do we need to fear illness or misfortune, or any other sorrow.
O Virgin of Guadalupe, you want to remain with us through your admirable Image, you who are our Mother, our health, and our life. Placing ourselves beneath your maternal gaze, and having recourse to you in all our necessities, we need do nothing more.
O Holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer us. Amen

11/23 Our Lady of the Divine Indwelling again appears to Sister Mary Ephrem 1957 (do NOT publish until after Bishop Process OLOA into Cathederial)
Our Lady of the Divine Indwelling
Our Lady recognizes the special love that America has for her and grants us our own special name for her. She reveals herself anew as Our Lady of the Indwelling Trinity (November 22-24, 1957). She wishes for us to participate in that grace by seeking purity in our lives, by living in a state of Sanctifying Grace and with prayer, sacrifice and Sacraments. This makes our souls pure and through the love of the Trinity they do dwell in the soul of one who loves them so much. [1] And then, as in Nazareth, the Trinity dwells among us and the face of the world is renewed through God’s Peace and Love.
[1]Fact of the Indwelling. The fact that the Blessed Trinity dwells in the just is beyond question. St. Paul wrote: “Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (I Corinthians 3, 16). But not only the Holy Spirit, but also the Father and Son dwell there, for “If anyone love Me he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and will make Our abode with him.” (John 14, 23).

Daily Prayers for the Dying in the Divine Will
Most Merciful Jesus, lover of souls, I pray to Thee, in Your Most Holy Divine Will by the agony of Thy Most Sacred Heart, and by the Sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother, through the intercession of Luisa, cleanse in Your own Blood the sinners of the whole world who are now in their last agony, and are to die this day. Amen.
Loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, once in agony, pity the dying and have mercy on us poor sinners in Your Divine Will.
Prayer to Jesus Christ on the Cross and Our Blessed Mother at the foot of the Cross for a happy death in the Divine Will.
Oh my Crucified Jesus, Mother Mary with Luisa in the Holy Divine Will, I beg of You to receive the prayer I now offer Thee for my last moment, when, having desired a holy death, all my senses have failed me.
At my last moments when therefore my sweetest Jesus, my eyes, languid and sunken, can no longer look upon Thee, remember this loving look which I now turn to Thee in Your Will with Our Blessed Mother Mary through little Luisa, and have mercy on me a poor sinner!
When my lips, dried up, can no longer kiss Thy Most Sacred Wounds, remember these kisses which I now give Thee and Our Blessed Mother Mary with Luisa, and have mercy on me a poor sinner!
When my cold and numbed hands can no longer clasp Thy Cross, remember the times that I held Your Crucifix in Your Will one with Our Blessed Mother and Luisa with love and devotion, and have mercy on me a poor sinner!
And when my tongue, swollen and immovable, can no longer speak, remember my present prayers, and have mercy on me a poor sinner!
Jesus, Mary, and Luisa I commend to you my soul in the Most Holy Divine Will.
Lord Jesus crucified, have mercy on me, a poor sinner!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Immaculate Heart of Mary one with Luisa I place my trust in Thee. Amen.
LUISA’S DANGER OF DEATH PRAYER FOR FR. BUCCI
Fr. Bucci
Urgent prayers are being offered for Padre Bernardino Bucci, OFM. We’ve been notified that he was transferred to the hospital in San Giovanni Rotondo.
Padre Bucci is the Spiritual Father of all the little children of the Divine Will, we attribute our having the writings of Luisa, the biographies, letters, relics and more to his life-long dedication and that of his Aunt Rosaria. Seventy years ago, on November 27, 1948 Archbishop Addazi granted permission to print prayer cards of Luisa with relic, giving her the title of “Servant of God”, at the persistance of Rosaria Bucci. Rosaria dedicated her life to assisting Luisa, then making her known after her death.
It was the Bucci family that provided much of the documentation and materials for the Cause of Luisa.
Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, pray for Padre Bucci.
Rosaria Bucci, pray for Padre Bucci.
All Saints and Angels, all priests and souls connected to Luisa, pray for Padre Bucci.
All Saints and Angels, all priests and souls connected to Luisa, pray for Padre Bucci.

VOL. 35 – February 20, 1938
Jesus became silent, and I remained with the scene before my mind of so many Jesuses for as many existing creatures. But I carried a thorn inside my heart that tortured me and embittered me – down to the marrow of my bones – for a person very dear to me, and necessary to my poor existence, who was in danger of death (FR. BUCCI); and I wanted to save this person (FR. BUCCI) at any cost. Therefore I took the Divine Will, I made It all mine, and in my sorrow I said: ‘Jesus, your Will is mine; your Power and Immensity are in my power. I do not want this, and You must not want it either.’ My God, I felt I was battling with a Power; and in order to win, my mind brought itself before the Divinity, and I placed around It the expanse of the heavens with all the stars in prayer, the vastness of the light of the sun with the might of its heat, the entire Creation – in prayer; and then the seas of Love and Power of the Queen of Heaven, the pains and the Blood shed by Jesus, like many seas around the Divinity – all in prayer; and then the many Jesuses of each creature, so that they might have a sigh, a plea, to obtain what I wanted. But what was not my surprise and emotion together, in seeing and hearing that the many Jesuses of each creature were praying to obtain what I wanted? I remained confounded in seeing so much divine goodness and compliance. May He be always thanked and blessed; and may everything be for His Glory.
Fiat!
