THE ACT OF CONTRITION - ACTUS CONTRITIONIS

11/1/2012

Deus meus, ex toto corde pǽnitet me
ómnium meórum peccatórum,
éaque detéstor, quia peccándo,
non solum pœnas a te juste
statútas proméritus sum,
sed præsértim quia offéndi te,
summum bonum,
ac dignum qui super ómnia diligáris.
Ídeo fírmiter propóno,
adjuvánte grátia tua,
de cétero me non peccatúrum
peccandíque occasiónes próximas fugitúrum. Amen.

I'm Brigido Ordeniza, and my nickname is "VHER" a Pure human being, but i tried my self to follow the footstep of Jesus Christ.,
as Jesus Said! " Sie Deligities me mandata mia servate
(Jn.14:15) Meaning If you love me,keep my commandments.
,LAUS TIBI, DOMINE AMEGOS.

"Every believer understands that to know God is the highest and best form of knowledge; and this spiritual knowledge is a source of strength to the Christian. It strengthens his faith. Believers are constantly spoken of in the Scriptures as being persons who are enlightened and taught of the Lord; they are said to “have an unction from the Holy One,” and it is the Spirit’s peculiar office to lead them into all truth, and all this for the increase and the fostering of their faith. Knowledge strengthens love, as well as faith. Knowledge opens the door, and then through that door we see our Saviour. Or, to use another similitude, knowledge paints the portrait of Jesus, and when we see that portrait then we love him, we cannot love a Christ whom we do not know, at least, in some degree. If we know but little of the excellences of Jesus, what he has done for us, and what he is doing now, we cannot love him much; but the more we know him, the more we shall love him. Knowledge also strengthens hope. How can we hope for a thing if we do not know of its existence? Hope may be the telescope, but till we receive instruction, our ignorance stands in the front of the glass, and we can see nothing whatever; knowledge removes the interposing object, and when we look through the bright optic glass we discern the glory to be revealed, and anticipate it with joyous confidence. Knowledge supplies us reasons for patience. How shall we have patience unless we know something of the sympathy of Christ, and understand the good which is to come out of the correction which our heavenly Father sends us? Nor is there one single grace of the Christian which, under God, will not be fostered and brought to perfection by holy knowledge. How important, then, is it that we should grow not only in grace, but in the “knowledge” of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

My Favorite Prayer: (Tested)
[Prayer of St. Benedict]
Latin:
Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti
Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux
Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux
Vade retro Satana;
Nunquam suade mihi vana.
Sunt mala quae libas;
Ipse venana bibas!

English:
Cross of the Holy Father Benedict
The Holy Cross be my light
Let not the dragon be my guide
Begone Satan!
Suggest not to me vain things.
The cup you offer me is evil,
drink the poison yourself!

St. Benedict Powerful Prayer means:
* To destroy witchcraft and all other diabolical influences.
* To keep away the spells of magicians, of wicked and evil-minded persons.
* To impart protection to persons tempted, deluded or tormented by evil spirits.
* To obtain the conversion of sinners, especially when they are in danger of death.
* To serve as an armor in temptations against holy purity.
* To destroy the effects of poison.
* To secure a timely and healthy birth for children.
* To afford protection against storms and lightning.
* To serve as an efficacious remedy for bodily afflictions and a means of protection against contagious diseases.

“Anima Christi“ is a powerful prayer for deliverance, which is a prayer against demons. The famous Catholic exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth who was handpicked by Pope John Paul II, confirms its power against the evil spirits.Today the prayer is most commonly used in conjunction when participating in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Eucharist.

LATIN:
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera absconde me.
Ne permittas me separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me.
Et iube me venire ad te,
ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te
in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

ENGLISH:
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever. Amen

(From Old Roman Missal)
LATIN:
ANIMA CHRISTI, SANCTISSIMA, SANCTIFICAME CORPUS CHRISTI, SACRATISIMUM SALVAME. SANGGUIS CHRISTI, PRETIOSSISIME INEBRA ME, AQUA LATERIS CHRISTI, PURISSIMA MUNDA ME, SUDOR VULTUS CHRISTI VIRTUOSISSIME SANA ME, PASSIO CHRISTI PIISIMA COMFORTA ME, O BONE JESUS, CUSTODE ME: INTRA VULNERA TUA ABSCONDE ME, NON PERMITTAS ME SEPARARE A TE, AB HOSTE MALIGNO DEFENDA ME; IN HORA MORTIS VOCA ME. JUBE ME. VENIRE AD TE. ET PONE ME JUXTATE UT CUM ANGELIS ET ARCHANGELIS TUIS, LAUDEM TE PER INFINITA SAECULA SAECULORUM: AMEN ANIMA DOMINUS DEUS SABAOTH CHRISTE JESUS, JESUS, JESUS CORPUS CHRISTE ATUM PECATUM EGOSUM JERUSALEM BARSEDIT, LAVAVE ME SALVAME.

The author of this prayer from the Roman Missal is not known. It has often been attributed to St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), since it was one of his favorites but he could not have been its author for a copy of the prayer appears in a document from 1334, before St Ignatius was born. Others have attributed it to Blessed Bernadine of Feltre (1439-1494), but again the prayer was around for at least a century before his time also. The Prayer is sometimes even thought to date back to St. Patrick and some scholars formerly placed the prayer's composition in Ireland of the seventh century. This too seems unlikely, since no copy that early is known to exist. Whatever the case may be, the prayer carries a partial indulgence.

The last but not the least “Tested and Powerful Prayer” that I share !!! kindly Pray this when your life is on danger... from Old Roman Missal “ Prayer of St. Michael.” you can use this also to cure sick....but please don’t do this prayer for bad intention cause you’ll suffer until the rest of your life...
Latin:
ORATIO OMNES ANGELOS
ET SANCTUS
ANGELI
ARCHANGELI
THRONI
DOMINATIONES
PRICIPATUS
POTESTAS
VIRTUTES CAELONUM
CHERUBIM ATQUE
SERAPHIM, OMNIS
SANCTI ET SANTAE
DEI PRAESERTIM
PATRONI MEI, INTERCEDERE
DIGNEMINI PRO ME, UT HOC SACRIFICIUM DEO OMNIPOTENTI DIGNE VALEAM OFFERE, AD LAUDEM ET GLORIAM NOMINIS SUI ET AN UTILITATEM MEAM TOTIOSQUE ECCLESIAE SUAE SANCTAE AMEN...

"Sanctification begins in regeneration. The Spirit of God infuses into man that new living principle by which he becomes “a new creature” in Christ Jesus. This work, which begins in the new birth, is carried on in two ways-mortification, whereby the lusts of the flesh are subdued and kept under; and vivification, by which the life which God has put within us is made to be a well of water springing up unto everlasting life. This is carried on every day in what is called “perseverance,” by which the Christian is preserved and continued in a gracious state, and is made to abound in good works unto the praise and glory of God; and it culminates or comes to perfection, in “glory,” when the soul, being thoroughly purged, is caught up to dwell with holy beings at the right hand of the Majesty on high. But while the Spirit of God is thus the author of sanctification, yet there is a visible agency employed which must not be forgotten. “Sanctify them,” said Jesus, “through thy truth: thy word is truth.” The passages of Scripture which prove that the instrument of our sanctification is the Word of God are very many. The Spirit of God brings to our minds the precepts and doctrines of truth, and applies them with power. These are heard in the ear, and being received in the heart, they work in us to will and to do of God’s good pleasure. The truth is the sanctifier, and if we do not hear or read the truth, we shall not grow in sanctification. We only progress in sound living as we progress in sound understanding. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Do not say of any error, “It is a mere matter of opinion.” No man indulges an error of judgment, without sooner or later tolerating an error in practice. Hold fast the truth, for by so holding the truth shall you be sanctified by the Spirit of God".“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” - Galatians 5:25 The two most important things in our holy religion are the life of faith and the walk of faith. He who shall rightly understand these is not far from being a master in experimental theology, for they are vital points to a Christian. You will never find true faith unattended by true godliness; on the other hand, you will never discover a truly holy life which has not for its root a living faith upon the righteousness of Christ. Woe unto those who seek after the one without the other! There are some who cultivate faith and forget holiness; these may be very high in orthodoxy, but they shall be very deep in condemnation, for they hold the truth in unrighteousness; and there are others who have strained after holiness of life, but have denied the faith, like the Pharisees of old, of whom the Master said, they were “whitewashed sepulchres.” We must have faith, for this is the foundation; we must have holiness of life, for this is the superstructure. Of what service is the mere foundation of a building to a man in the day of tempest? Can he hide himself therein? He wants a house to cover him, as well as a foundation for that house. Even so we need the superstructure of spiritual life if we would have comfort in the day of doubt. But seek not a holy life without faith, for that would be to erect a house which can afford no permanent shelter, because it has no foundation on a rock. Let faith and life be put together, and, like the two abutments of an arch, they will make our piety enduring. Like light and heat streaming from the same sun, they are alike full of blessing. Like the two pillars of the temple, they are for glory and for beauty. They are two streams from the fountain of grace; two lamps lit with holy fire; two olive trees watered by heavenly care. O Lord, give us this day life within, and it will reveal itself without to thy glory.
