To take a step forward and rekindle the flame within your spiritual life, join the Virtus program: a profound Lenten journey of prayer, virtue, and penance, to arrive renewed at Easter. Perseverance produces proven virtue; proven virtue produces hope; and hope does not disappoint, because God&#039;s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us (Romans 5:4-5). In the Eastern tradition, as in some monastic customs, the Easter feast, the high point of the liturgical year, is preceded by a “Great Lent,” a time of penance and of development of virtues, in two stages, leading to Easter joy. How many Christians would like to experience Lent more fully, to make it a true time to draw closer to God and grow in virtue, to learn to pray and enter into a life of prayer?Hozana, Claves.org, and the priests of the Fraternity of Saint Peter, in partnership with the religious of the Fraternity of Saint Vincent Ferrer (&#34;Carême 40&#34;), invite you to experience a profound Lent in community through &#34;Virtus,&#34; a time to deepen your relationship with the Lord and undergo a profound transformation of your spiritual life, drawing upon the rich tradition of the Church. From Septuagesima Sunday to Easter Octave (70 days in total), Virtus is a &#34;great Lent&#34; to be lived in community, forming a fraternity of men or women to pray, live, and grow together. Each day, Virtus members will find a message of encouragement from a priest of Claves on Hozana. During the 40 days of Lent, this initiative is further enriched by the &#34;Carême 40&#34; programs offered by the brothers of Chéméré-le-Roi. Each participant of Virtus engages himself to live this &#34;great Lent&#34; through 5 commitments in each of the 3 main domains of effort : prayer, virtue and penance.- 🙏5 commitments of prayer : one hour dedicated to God each day, freed from the slavery of screens and divided into 20 minutes silent meditation, 20 minutes of rosary, 20 minutes of formation, the daily examination of conscience and a regular practice of the sacraments (mass and/adoration once a week, outside from Sundays, confession at least twice in the overall journey). - 💪5 commitments of virtue : freedom from screen-slavery (no screen outside of familial/work necessities), give our bodies enough sleep, no food between meals, two hours of physical/manual activity a week, practice corporal or spiritual works of mercy for one hour per week.-🔥 5 commitments of penance, to be freely chosen from this list : <ul><li id="isPasted">No alcohol</li><li>Cold showers</li><li>Friday fast (one frugal meal &#43; two optional small snacks, which together must not equal a full meal)</li><li>No sweets (sugar, honey, candy, cookies, chocolate, pastries, sweet breads, syrup, sodas, etc.)</li><li>No meat</li><li>No cheese</li><li>No cigarettes (if I happen to smoke)</li><li>No coffee or tea (if I happen to drink them)</li><li>Do not add salt or pepper to meals, or any other condiments (soy sauce, etc.)</li><li>Get up immediately when the alarm goes off</li><li>Fast on Wednesday or another day (it is possible to choose other fasting days, each counting as a separate “commitment”)</li><li>Sleep on the floor or without a pillow</li><li>Sobriety in appearance: limit makeup and accessories that lead to seeking external approval, in order to place oneself simply under God&#039;s gaze</li><li>Give up all unnecessary purchases or shopping</li><li>Do not play background audio during car or public transport journeys, or while doing household chores (one may instead listen to a meditated rosary on Rosario)</li><li>Any other penitential commitment that is well suited to you (free ascetic practice)...</li></ul>

Virtus Journey: Great Lent 2026

"O my God, I approach your infinite mystery and I adore you. 
Holy Trinity, pacify my heart, make it your beloved dwelling place, the place of your beatifying presence. 
O Jesus, you who constantly stand at the door of my heart and knock, enter and change my life by the infinite power of your love. 
Bear my burden, lift up my weaknesses, transform me and unite me to you in an awakened and adoring faith. 
What shall I render to the Lord for all that he has given me? 
I will take up the chalice and the cross of salvation, I will offer myself entirely to his holy will. Sacred Heart of Jesus, in whom I place all my trust, never let me abandon you. 
May every beat of my heart, every breath of my soul, be an echo of your love.
Remove from my breast the heart of stone, place there a new Spirit and your Heart of flesh. Be my rest, My strength, and my light for eternity. Amen.


Hello and welcome to our community! Also known as the “Walk of the Incarnation,” this is a 9-month Novena where we journey with Our Lady throughout her entire pregnancy from the Feast of the Annunciation to Christmas Day. 3/25-12/25 This novena offers a unique opportunity to petition Mary with 3 of your most “impossible” requests. You will bring these same prayers to Our Lady every day for 9 months straight. These prayers will be included in each daily post so that you may find them easily. With faith and perseverance, we trust that Our Lady lovingly presents our intentions to her SonWe have divided this novena into 9 separate but cohesive parts. Each month of Mary&#039;s pregnancy is represented by one of her virtues, and a short quote/reflection will be shared daily along with the novena prayers. While the prayers remain the same each day, the short reflections/meditations change as we move from month to month. These are not a required part of the novena, but rather they are meant to serve as supplemental meditations. We invite you to read more about this novena on our website and pray along with us if you feel called! All are welcome to join at any time. For more information, please visit <a href="https://www.impossiblenovena.com/">www.impossiblenovena.com </a>“Who can worthily thank thee and adequately praise thee, O Blessed Virgin, who by thy Fiat hast saved a lost world!” - St. Augustine

HAIL HOLY QUEEN x3: Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet Virgin Mary, Pray for us, oh holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

MEMORARE x1: Remember, oh most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee, oh Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh, Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

PRAY x3: Blessed and praised be the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar in Heaven, on Earth, and Everywhere. Amen.

The Church approved Message of the Lady of All Nations reveals that on a future date of May 31st, Mary will be crowned through the official proclamation of the 5th Marian Dogma&nbsp;by the pope as Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace and when this is done, she will give her Spouse, the Holy Spirit, ANEW to us.&nbsp; Her spouse, the Holy Spirit, Who is the Divine Flame of Love who quenches the fire of hatred of satan with the fire of the love of Jesus will be given anew to us. &nbsp;:) Alleluia! &nbsp;(Song of Songs 8:6, 1 Cor 13, 1 John 4:8,18)This is very significant for this year of May 31st, of 2020 because there is an&nbsp;unusual Great Convergence happening which is the alignment of the feasts of: Pentecost, Visitation, Mary Mediatrix of All Grace -&nbsp;all on one day and in the month of May which we dedicate to Mary and when we traditionally crown her as Queen of Heaven and earth and even more noticeable is the fact that this Great Convergence of feasts is&nbsp;followed by the newly given (2018) Mary, Mother of the Church feast on June 1st, 2020.&nbsp; Yes, indeed there is great significance here!!! (please go to revuponrev.com and read "Ask For a Sign from the Lord Your God" based on Isaiah 7:11 for deeper understanding on this Great Significant Convergence of May 31st 2020.God has promised us the following: &nbsp;"Hope does not disappoint for the Love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us." &nbsp;(Romans 5:5) "It shall come to pass,&nbsp;I will pour out My Spirit upon ALL Flesh (Hearts) and your sons and daughters will prophesy." (speak the Heart of God). &nbsp;(Joel 3)Our Heavenly Father promises us restoration in Rev 21 titled, "The New Heaven and the New Earth" -&nbsp; Then I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth. &nbsp;The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. &nbsp;I also saw the holy city, a New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. &nbsp;I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be His people and God Himself will always be with them (as their God). He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away." &nbsp;The One who sat on the throne said, "Behold I make all things new."&nbsp; (Rev 21:1-5)Mother Mary's declaration at Fatima in 1917 which echoes these promises of our Heavenly Father, "In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph, Russia will convert, and an Era of Peace shall be given." &nbsp; <a href="https://bluearmy.com/the-story-of-fatima/">https://bluearmy.com/the-story-of-fatima/</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;(There is a new movie coming out on the prophetic Fatima message on August 14th. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.fatimathemovie.com/">https://www.fatimathemovie.com/</a> &nbsp;St. JPII said this prophetic Fatima message was more relevant for today than it was back in 1917. &nbsp;:)God desires to restore us in His image and Likeness - Sacrificial Love Himself -&nbsp; which will, in turn, restore earth to heaven as He has promised in Revelation 21:1-6. &nbsp;This restoration will happen through the New Worldwide Pentecost of His Spirit being poured out, as Joel 3 proclaims to us, into ALL hearts. &nbsp;<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FEV5FVYzlIw?&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PLa-lj0zCGg?&amp;t=187s&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. You are witnesses of these things. &nbsp;Behold I am sending the Promise of My Father upon you; but wait until you are clothed with power from on high. (Luke 24:48)&nbsp;

New Worldwide Pentecost Promised by God in JOEL 3, ROM 5:5

The Upper Room Pentecost in the Acts of the Apostles

"They were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, “What are we to do, my brothers?” Peter [said] to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:37-38)

So we now,  as the people asked on the day of the "Upper Room Pentecost" when they understood that Jesus died for them, too ask, "What shall we do" to receive this New Worldwide Pentecost promised in Joel 3  - this fresh outpouring into our hearts of our God the Holy Spirit!

We must first repent, by turning away from sin and asking God for forgiveness for the ways that we have spurned His love for us and we must proclaim His love to all we meet,  but of course, as He told His early disciples, we must first be clothed -  "filled" - with His Holy Spirit before we do so, since when He fills us with His Holy Spirit, He, Love Himself, overflows from us to others and they, who receive Him,  their hearts are filled to overflowing with His Spirit - Sacrificial Love.  :)  For God alone converts hearts.  :)

Hope does not disappoint for the Love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us!  (Romans 5:5)

Mother Mary, in the Church approved message of "The Lady of All Nations" asks us to daily pray the following prayer asking for the New Worldwide Pentecost - the outpouring of God's Love, His Spirit, into all hearts.  

Prayer for the New Worldwide Pentecost:

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father.  Send NOW Your Spirit over the earth.  Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war.  May the Lady of All Nations, the Blessed Virgin Mary, be our Advocate.  Amen!"

For in-depth information on the Lady of All Nations Church approved message and how the official proclamation of the 5th Marian Dogma will usher in the New Worldwide Pentecost promised to us by God, in Joel 3,  of the outpouring of His Holy Spirit, His Love, into "all hearts of flesh", please go to Dr. Mark Miravalle's website:  motherofallpeoples.com and to revuponrev.com

I encourage you, along with daily praying the prayer above, to sign the petition to Holy Father Francis on Dr. Miravalle's website, urging Holy Father Francis  to officially proclaim the 5th Marian Dogma which will usher in the New Worldwide Pentecost which is promised to us - -  the outpouring of God's Sacrificial Love, His Holy Spirit, the New Wine, into ALL hearts which will restore us in His Image and Likeness ushering in the restoration of the New Heaven and the New Earth which God promises to us in Rev 21:1-6.

Just as by Mary's request at the wedding feast of Cana where the wedding guests were given new wine (Jn 2)  we too,will be given the New Wine of the Holy Spirit at her request.  And as Mary reveals to us in the Lady of All Nations Church approved message, we must do our part and petition Holy Father Francis to make the official proclamation of the 5th Marian Dogma because it is through the official proclamation of this title, "Mary Mediatrix of All Grace" that our Queen Mother's powerful intercession is released as never before upon the people of "all nations" of the world.  :)

The Lady of All Nations Church approved 50th message given on May 31st 1954
(50th - think pentecost for pentecost in Greek means "50".) 

"This day will in due time, be the "Coronation Day" of His Mother...the Lady remained with her apostles until the Spirit came.  In the same way the Lady will come to her apostles and all the nations, in order to bring them the Holy Spirit anew, because the Holy Spirit of Truth must always be invoked before great decisions."  (The Messages of the Lady of All Nations p. 84)

Please, let us, the Mystical Body of Christ, unite in praying for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit into ALL hearts so that His very presence, His Word, Jesus, the Sword of the Holy Spirit of Truth resides within our hearts casting out all fear because where God fully resides no fear can remain and His love flourishes restoring earth to heaven and each soul in His image and likeness.  Alleluia!

The Word was God and became flesh within our hearts (Jn 1, 14, 1 Jn 4:8,18) ,casting out all fear in us conquering satan within our own hearts and He, Jesus, the Word of God, the Sword of the Spirit, conquers all evil of satan by going forth from our mouths as we witness to Him (Rev 12:10-12, 17)  He does so in the power of His Holy Spirit.   

"Not by power, NOT by might but by My Spirit! (Zach 4:6)

“Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Anointed.  For the accuser of our brothers is cast out,  who accuses them before our God day and night.  They conquered him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of their testimony; 
love for life did not deter them from death.  (Rev 12:10-12)

Behold I make all things new! (Rev 21:5)
