PRAYER CHAPEL FOR THOSE INVOLVED WITH THE OCCULT: WHY NOT PRAY?



There is much heavenly assistance for those involved with occult. Blessed Bartolo Longo converted from the occult to become a member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic. As he was undergoing his conversion experience, he was inspired by Mary's promise; "If you seek salvation, promulgate the rosary. This is Mary's own promise."

Bartolo turned to Jesus Christ, restored a delapidated old church and installed a repaired painting of Our Lady of the Rosary therein. Within hours of its installation miracles began to be reported, and people flocked to the church in droves.
  
Bartolo has been named "The Apostle of the Rosary."
Why not pray the Prayers of Blessed Bartolo Longo for the specific conversion of someone struggling with the occult? Jesus has told us that if we ask, we will receive. If we knock on the door, it will be opened. Let us pray for our brothers and sisters involved in occultism. 

Pray for a conversion
Spend some time in prayer at this Chapel for a conversion. 

Pray the Rosary
The Most Holy Rosary is a further powerful protection against the occult, and agent for conversion. If you wish, pray the Rosary. Bartolo's prayers appear below, together with a link to praying online rosary.

Wear the Miraculous Medal, a powerful aid
Please know, too, that the Miraculous Medal has proven powerful in conversion from occultism. Zachary King converted from occultism through the power of the Miraculous Medal. 
The Rue du Bac in Paris is where the then novice, Sr Catherine Laboure, was blessed with the apparitions of Mary Immaculate. Mary, Queen of Heaven, came to visit Catherine and asked her to have a holy medal made, which would give great protection and graces.
As Catherine was shown the design for the medal, she heard a voice say, "Have a medal struck upon this model. All those who wear it, when it is blessed, will receive great graces specially if they wear it round the neck.
Those who repeat this prayer with devotion will be in a special manner under the protection of the Mother of God. Graces will be abundantly bestowed upon those who have confidence." The prayer is "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."


Prayers of Blessed Bartolo Longo


First Joyful Mystery. The Annunciation.
O Mary, immaculate lily, through the joy you felt when at the Angel's message you became the Mother of God: obtain for me the virtue of purity and of humility, that I may become your worthy son/daughter and the brother/sister of Jesus.


Second Joyful Mystery. The Visitation.
O Mary, Mother of grace and of charity, through the joy you felt when, upon visiting Elizabeth, you brought joy to the home of Zechariah and the Baptist was sanctified at the sound of your voice: visit my soul, let it hear your Motherly voice, and fill it with love of God and love of neighbour.


Third Joyful Mystery. The Birth of Jesus.
O Mary, mirror of humility and of poverty, through the joy you felt when, turned away by the inhabitants of Bethlehem and forced to take refuge in a stable from the cold and darkness, you gave birth to the Divine Redeemer: grant that by accepting scorn and poverty I remain faithful to grace and gain the reward of eternal salvation by means of good works.


Fourth Joyful Mystery. The Presentation.
O Mary, the perfect model of obedience and of sacrifice, you who offered Jesus to the Eternal Father on our behalf: place your Child upon my bosom, that, together with you, I may offer him the sacrifice of my passions and of my whole being.


Fifth Joyful Mystery. The Finding in the Temple.
O Mary, a shining example of patience, through the joy you felt when, after three days of anxiously searching, you found Jesus in the Temple: grant that I too, seeking Jesus with love in every moment of my life in imitation of you, may find him at last in your arms at the hour of my death, never to lose him again.


First Sorrowful Mystery. The Agony in the Garden.
O Grieving Virgin, through the anguish of that saddest of nights in which Jesus in agony in the garden sweat blood at the sight of my sins, and, betrayed, was tied as a criminal: obtain for me the perfect sorrow of my sins and perseverance in prayer, that I may never again betray his most loving Heart.


Second Sorrowful Mystery. The Scourging at the Pillar.
O most grieving Mother, through the pain you felt in knowing that your innocent and holy Son had been publicly stripped and bloodily scourged with biting whips: obtain for me the spirit of true repentance and the virtue of chastity and of the mortification of the senses.


Third Sorrowful Mystery. The Crowning with Thorns.
O Mother of sorrows, through the atrocious torment which pierced your heart when you saw Jesus, the King of glory, then become the King of suffering, crowned with thorns and shame, with a reed in his hands, derided by the crowd: ah!, encircle my intellect and my heart with these very thorns, that I may never offend him again with evil thoughts and sentiments; and obtain for me pureness in my thoughts and the right intentions in my actions.


Fourth Sorrowful Mystery. The Carrying of the Cross.
O grieving Mother, through the martyrdom of your heart, when you met your Son weighed down beneath the heavy cross, staining the road to Calvary with his blood: grant that I, clinging to Jesus' cross, follow behind, daily carrying the cross of my troubles with meekness and with perfect conformity to the will of God.


Fifth Sorrowful Mystery. The Crucifixion and Death of Our Lord.
O Queen of the Martyrs, through the extreme spasm of your heart when you witnessed Jesus dying on the cross in the midst of a thousand torments, forsaken and without comfort: grant that I die to myself, to the world and to sin, and live in the heart of Jesus alone, having abandoned myself in his most holy arms.


First Glorious Mystery. The Resurrection.
O Most Holy Mother of God, through the joy you felt in seeing Jesus risen from the dead and surrounded in glory: obtain for me that I too rise from the death of sin to a life of grace and of faith, and may persevere in it till my very last breath.


Second Glorious Mystery. The Ascension.
O Queen of the Heavens, through the joy you experienced in seeing Jesus rising to Heaven triumphant as King of the Universe and as our Advocate by his Father: obtain his blessing for me also, so that I be changed by him from a sinner into a saint; moreover, by separating me from all earthly affection, through the virtue of hope may he kindle in me the desire of paradise.


Third Glorious Mystery. The Descent of the Holy Spirit.
O Queen of the Universe, through the joy you felt when the Holy Spirit descended on you and on the Apostles: grant that he come into my soul and fill it with his holy gifts and the heavenly fruits of charity, of joy, of patience and of peace.


Fourth Glorious Mystery. The Assumption.
O Queen, Lady of the Angels, through the joy you experienced when you were taken into heaven body and soul: come with Jesus to assist me at the hour of my death, and lead me with you to everlasting happiness.


Fifth Glorious Mystery. The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
O Queen of all the Saints, and the honour and delight of humankind, through the joy you felt when the Most Holy Trinity crowned you as Queen of Heaven and Earth: inflame me with your love and with the love of God, that I may love and serve you on earth, and glorify you, O Queen of my heart, in heaven.

Prayer Chapel for Detransitioners Who Regret Gender Transition; WORDS OF COMFORT

 


PRAYER CHAPEL
Dear Lord, I am here in this Chapel today because since my gender detransition I am - quite simply - struggling. I underwent gender transition which I now regret. I am experiencing difficulties. Tears for changed voice and changed or lost body parts. I have been going through deep emotional pain and trauma, and fear my life has been permanently changed. I often suffer depression.  

I made a past choice which I now regret. Worst of all, I cannot turn back time and change the decision I made.
I did not really have full knowledge at the time as to what I was doing. I was younger, struggling, and hoped that gender transition would heal my inner pain.
I really thought it was the right decision, now - as I grow older and understand the consequences of that decision - I experience heartache.
I have since found that gender transition did not prove the answer I had hoped. 
Now I realize that in gender detransition, instead of being problem free, I now have new problems - a deep regret.
I hurt so much when I think of how my gender detransition has affected my body and my life.
I hurt when I see someone who does not have compassion for my pain dealing with gender issues and gender detransition.
Dear Lord, please help me. 

GOD'S ANSWER TO YOU
"My dearest Child,
Just come into my Arms and be at peace. I am your Heavenly Father, and I know all about you.
I know your struggles, your heartaches, your inner goodness, the difficulties you have so bravely faced.
I know how difficult it was for you to undergo therapies and surgeries.
I am the God Who created male and female. I am also the God Who understands the difficulties many experience with gender in a world which was rendered imperfect after the Fall.
Be assured of My Love. Be assured of My Understanding. Rest within My Peace.
Yes, there have been changes such as voice or bodily appearance as a result of hormonal therapies and surgery. Yet these are but superficial.
Your soul has remained untouched, and is most beautiful in my sight, My dear Child.
Be reassured, your resurrected body will be fully healed once more. So do not weep. All of life is a transition. I understand that.
You did not fully understand the decision you were making before. Now you do. So let us move on together.

Look for good help, for one of my Trustworthy Shepherds, a priest or counsellor - be discerning in your choice  - to help you confidentially through your struggles. Further, choose a shepherd who will understand the pain and difficulty of gender transition.
Pain upon looking back at past deeds can do one of two things; firstly, it can strengthen you in your new life.
Or - left unchecked - it can cripple you with regret leading to a depression.

My Son came to show that every day is a new day. Complete renewal can be reborn through My Divine Grace in your human spirit.
Your physical gender attributes are not eternally lost: they will be fully restored to you in heaven.
Now be gentle with yourself. And let me heal your heart, my loving child."

TO HELP YOU
"In order to help you, My dearest child, here is a Prayer Service where My Divine Grace is called down.
During this Holy Service, you and I - together, in this quiet and confidential place, Father and Child - will remember your past transition experiences. We will affirm, cherish and bless your new understanding of the beauty of your gender which does not depend on outer appearance, but on your inner truth.

GRIEVE PAST LOSSES AND EMBRACE THE PRESENT
For this ceremony make a little altar. You can do this with a little table if you wish, or on the floor if you do not have a table. If you have a cloth or piece of material, place it on the table or floor.
Light a candle if you have one; otherwise, just light the love in your heart.
Bless some water by dipping your fingers in the water and asking Me to bless the water with My Grace. Or use holy water you have received from church.
If you have (and if you wish) place some beautiful flowers in a vase or cup on your altar.
If you wish, have a photo or picture of yourself on the altar.
Or place a card on the table with your name.
Together we will affirm your life and beauty, and acknowledge past bodily change.
Pray like this:
"Dear God, I am grieving ... (here speak to God, explaining your griefs."
I bless my grief with this water (make a blessing sign or just shake some holy water).
I ask You to help me with ... (here ask God for help, explaining your needs).
(Here touch the petals of the flowers, offering them in celebration of the beauty of your life).
Please help me heal from past regret, and blossom into joy with a new life of freedom from past sorrow, I realize that I have deepened in wisdom and understanding. I thank you for this.
As your loving child, I ask You to help me find inner peace. "
Now pray to God in your own words. Be at peace. Be comforted.
Ask for the grace of healing of past memories.
Ask Mary, the Beloved Mother of Jesus, to pray for you.

Be at peace.
Blessings.
