"Unite your will to the sweet will of Mary, and in time she will
unite it with something of the union which joined hers with that of Our
Lord's." ~ Mother Mary Potter
During a Holy Hour before Holy Mass, the Child Jesus visits
you and blesses your mouth with His little Hand. Then, adult Jesus comes to you, and He blesses your
mouth also.
Why? Because you are about to kiss His Sacred Wounds while venerating Them, as He appears crucified on the Cross before you.

Don't ever just be Catholic. Be PROFOUNDLY Catholic!
There is so much more of God's love to discover and then keep rediscovering. He is so in love with us all.

"To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement." ~ Saint Augustine
As you kiss the Sacred Wounds on the Lord’s Body, His
Precious Blood mystically transfers to your lips and empowers your
words as you pray.
The words we say, and pray, not only have great meaning when we unify them with Jesus' sacrifice, they also have sanctifying and redemptive power.
With them, we can accomplish great good.

"It is not by doing seemingly good actions that you will become
holy. It is by daily more and more purifying your intention. It is not
by increasing the number of your good works that you will please God
more, but by doing them more perfectly, by offering them up with more
earnestness of intention, with a more perfect will. From the greatest
action to the least, this applies. 1 ~ Mother Mary Potter, Devotion for the Dying, pp. 144-145.
Honor the Lord, praise Him, and petition Him not only for your needs but also
for the needs of everyone through all time.
Pray for the sick, rejected, lonely,
despairing, faithless, the dying, for the conversion of sinners, and for the suffering Holy Souls in
Purgatory through all time.
The Lord has you make a sacramental confession before Holy Mass begins, and shows you that the words you say, and pray, in the confessional are fueled by the Precious Blood of Jesus. They are empowered by God's boundless love and unfathomable mercy. Through them, much can be accomplished for other precious, immortal souls.
Be sure to make your Act of Contrition on behalf of every person through all time.
"Many do
not see their own defects of will, and they approach God in prayer with
far too much confidence - not in Him (that could not be), but in
themselves. They may have many good qualities, but they are lacking in
one, diffidence in self.
"That
diffidence in self proceeds from want of self-knowledge and perhaps is
more often found in those who have not fallen very seriously - and who
have thus not learned by experience their own weakness - than in those
who have once sinned deeply. 
"Now
we never can see ourselves as God sees us, but if there is one class of
Christians who approach nearer than another to the possession of this
divine gift of truthfulness, it is Mary's faithful children, who are
entirely hers, who delight to call themselves her slaves." 3 ~ Mother
Mary Potter, Devotion for the Dying, pp. 147-148.
Never take what you say, and pray, for granted! Petition God's most Holy Mother for her maternal intercession.
Then, purify your intentions and empower your speech with the Precious Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Then, purify your intentions and empower your speech with the Precious Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Do this by kissing His Sacred Wounds as you pray (mystically, in an action of thought), as you are sanctified by Jesus' Precious Blood when receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Christ's Peace), and when you receive Jesus' Precious Blood during Holy Communion.
Be transformed into His likeness.

God is at work in you!

and you will see what miracles are."
