“The Advocate, the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you.” John 14:26
Lord Jesus, you came to destroy the works of the devil and to call us all children of God.
You sent us the Advocate so that we may know your truth and rest in the bosom of the Father.
Hear our prayers and supplications Lord as we beg of you to help us in this time of darkness and confusion.
Send us Angels in sufficient rank, number, power and authority to fight the demons off and away from us, to fight the demons off and away from our families, our communities and our nations.
We ask Our Lady and the entire Communion of Saints to intercede and pray on our behalf.
We are your Mystical Body, and we ask for healing through forgiveness and restoration.
Lord Jesus, rain down the Holy Spirit upon all of Mankind.
Illuminate and convict each of us of who we are in your eyes.
Show us how much you love us and comfort us as you reveal to us our faults.
Give us the strength and courage to surrender our sin to you, who alone can make us whole.
May we turn back to you with our whole heart and be transformed in your image.
We implore you through the intercession of Saint Michael, lift the veil of confusion that plagues us.
Lord, show us your mercy.
In this we give thanks and praise.
All Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, Amen.
About the Author
My name is Susan Skinner. I am a native of Maryland and grew up attending
all Catholic Schools, including the Catholic University of America in
Washington, DC. In 1997, I moved South where I subsequently met my husband,
Jason. We now have three children. I am a certified catechist through
Aquinas College and I am an RCIA and Adult Faith Formation Coordinator at a
parish in the South. I have always identified as Catholic, but it was the
murder of my friend in 2010 that brought a transforming change to my heart
and made me a true disciple of Jesus Christ. I now make it my mission to
spread His Love and Good News everywhere I go. My friend's name was
Veronica, and so my blog is named Veil of Veronica. Jesus isn't just someone
we should just know about, He is someone we should KNOW, personally. He has
made me new and I know God has brought me to where I am. I am nothing
without him.
