How to do the Six Kowtows
The Six Kowtows
The practice of The Six Kowtows, revealed by Blessed Mother to Lucia Phan, is a most powerful means of coming back to God and daily conversion. They are to be practiced above all before the Blessed Sacrament, and also before the altar, a crucifix, a Divine Mercy picture, or a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Six Kowtows are done in the following manner:
- Kneel down and bow your head, while placing your hands together in front of your heart and pray to God the Father.
- Stretch out your arms.
- Elevate your arms up to heaven in a prayer position with hands still together.
- Lower your arms and place your elbows on the floor.
- At the same time, sit on your feet with hands placed together in a praying position over your head. Lean down until your forehead touches the floor.
- Say this prayer before each kowtow, and then offer up heartfelt prayers of repentance, petition, thanksgiving, etc. to the Person in each kowtow:
- The first Kowtow, I offer to God the Father.
- The second Kowtow, I offer to God the Son, Jesus.
- The third Kowtow, I offer to God the Holy Spirit.
- The fourth Kowtow, I offer to the Holy Body and Blood of Jesus.
- The fifth Kowtow, I offer to the Five Holy Marks of Jesus.
- The sixth Kowtow, I offer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her Triumph.
After each kowtow say, “Totus Tuus.” This is Latin for “[I am] all Yours.” It was a phrase of St. Louis de Montfort and was the official motto of St. John Paul II.
After the Sixth Kowtow, lift up shorter, similar prayers to: St. Joseph; St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael; the angels; the guardian angels; and the saints.
If you are truly unable to physically practice The Six Kowtows, you can nod, bow or kneel, or simply prostrate your heart spiritually and pray the prayers.
The Six Kowtows on the Vietnamese New Year’s Day and the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, the Apostle
January 25, 2023
Lucia: (This message inspired by God the Holy Spirit)
O God, it is 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, the hour of the Divine Mercy. God, instead of praying the Divine Mercy, please allow me and my brothers and sisters to offer the Six Kowtows to report everything that You want for the history book and things this world needs to know. At this moment, on behalf of the brothers and sisters who are praying the Divine Mercy chaplet and everyone else in this world, in unity, we offer the Six Kowtows on the first days of New Year that the Vietnamese and some Southeast Asia countries celebrate.
Instead of offering the Divine Mercy chaplet, we lift up to God the prayers through the Holy Spirit’s guidance with the offering to each Person. Today, I thank God for all of us attending Mass, which our Church reminds us as the Solemnity of the Conversion of Saint Paul. We heard from the Reading that he was on his way to Damascus when he encountered God, and changed his life to become the Apostle who preached to the Gentiles.
He was the Apostle who left many writings for the world through teachings from a life of faith to a life of service, which he practiced his entire life. We see him as a person firmly rooted in the law, and when he encountered God, he became a most ardent and zealous Apostle who achieved many things. We know about his history and writings from the Gospel; he wrote more than any other Apostles, and his messages are full of meanings from his experiences and teachings through the Spirit of God.
In particular, in today’s Gospel, we hear that Jesus told the eleven Apostles to go and preach the Good News. God chose them to proclaim the Good News. What is this telling us in the first days of the Vietnamese New Year and after twelve years of service? God chose the first Apostles to testify about what they witnessed and to proclaim the Good News. Today, though God does not come to us in the flesh as in the past, we receive extraordinary and marvelous things that come from the Eucharistic Jesus’ visit, spiritually and divinely, which God granted for us to continue to go out to testify to things we witness in this age. There is no difference in all of us who serve God.
We are walking in God’s direction to fulfill an extraordinary and marvelous plan from the Eucharistic Jesus through His visit and support, to talk about Him and share what we witness. His sublime wonders continue to pour over humanity to strengthen our faith, save us, and intervene for us in this urgent time. With this feeling, we remember the Supreme Lord who granted us His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who represents God the Father whom we worship in the Spirit that Mother teaches, as we lift humble words to the beloved Father who granted us everything. Today, thanks to Jesus Christ, we honor God the Father.
We offer the First Kowtow to God the Father. Father, I thank, praise, and glorify You. Everything we have comes from the mercy that You grant us through Your only-begotten Son. Because of the death of the Lord Jesus, because of His presence in the flesh in the world, we have that great treasure. Today, even though the world rejects and despises us, You are the Supreme Being who defends us. We are not afraid and are not fearful to continue on the path of witnessing for the Lord Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son, to testify to Your love in Him, with Him, and given to the world.
Everything happening on this day is not coincidental. It is time; we must be bold and courageous to profess our God because God alone can give us security, happiness, and peace, which people greatly need. God alone can bring to our world blessing and joy. God alone bestows to our lives so we cannot err for too long as those who do not know God, those who reject God and follow the customs and regulations of the world. We must overcome the mediocre human point of view that requires knowledge by facts. We must seek to find in the life of faith the depth, height, and breadth of the great grace that the Father bestowed upon us. Let us praise and glorify our Father and honor Him to make up for those who, for generations, are still people who neither know nor understand and do not believe.
We are believers. We offer, present, and bow in repentance to thank our loving, mighty Lord God, all-powerful and patient, who hears the prayers we lift up to Him. Thus, we have only one God we believe in and worship, so what else in this life do we have to fear? O God, our Lord, please let us know that what we are doing and experiencing is the best arranged for us and look into the wrongdoings to recognize the truth and testify, for You to continue to guide those blind brothers and sisters, to guide the people who have positions but follow the wrong ways. Please give them the opportunity.
God, please give them the opportunity because You saved us, the whole world, and You sacrificed Your Son Jesus. Today, You continue to grant us this opportunity. We lift up to You in the Holy Name of Jesus. In the Holy Name of Jesus, we present to You. In the Holy Name of Jesus, we lift up things that are happening and will continue to happen. Please have mercy and forgive us for us to realize that we must believe in Jesus, practice what You taught, and obey as Jesus did. May we lift up to You, humbly return to You, and be worthy of Your intervention. You gave us Your love through Jesus to come to us.
Thus, this is the happiest thing we lift up and ask for You to hear these words that are not ours but from the Holy Spirit’s teaching for us to follow Your holy will. May Your will be done over this world. Father, please awaken the people who still do not know or those who still live in selfishness and blindness because they must receive Your teaching to awaken and be worthy of Your love and Divine Mercy as You await and long. With Your permission, I lift up to You and ask for You to hear us for us to have the opportunity to present or write down what You grant to awaken everyone in all classes and roles, especially those who have positions for them to walk in Your way. May Your will be done over things You desire.
May we belong to You now and forever. Till the last minute, may we continue to be Your instruments and the instruments that Jesus sent out to glorify You, especially in this time, to invite everyone to recognize and return with heart, soul, and humility. May we learn to pray, for that is the most crucial thing, better than theory or beautiful words or superficial things, as people are still blind and perform things dominated by worldly laws. Father, please have mercy and help us follow Your holy will, to do what You want through the Holy Spirit, for us to listen to Jesus’ words and practice the doctrine given to us. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.
The Second Kowtow, we reverently lift up to Jesus, our Savior, a patient and loving Lord God who gave us everything when He came into the world and took on human nature. He achieved everything to save us, taught us the best ways, and gave us a sublime gift through His stay. Today, we have the Lord God with us. We profess the Lord Jesus Christ, believe in Him, entrust in Him, and continue to listen to His teaching through the Gospel as He grants us His lofty and spiritual presence. He reveals Himself to us, teaching us to help us awaken our brothers and sisters, for them to rise, for us to have the opportunity to be bold to testify for Him, to help the brothers and sisters who have eyes but are blind in faith because of their narrow-mindedness, jealousy, resentment, pettiness, which caused many things that gravely grieve God.
God, please forgive us and allow us to learn through this matter to understand charity and to love You and others as You taught, which is the foundation of our lives. O Jesus, I honor and thank You. You are the Supreme Lord who loves, the Master who teaches us to live to be worthy to enter the place that You prepared for us, waiting for each person with the chair of the banquet table. O God, may we realize and understand this sooner, for us to fight to remove the days of ordinariness and mediocrity of this world, to obtain and seek the chair that we must go to, to sit by Your side, to sit at the banquet table, to have the eternal chair that the Supreme Lord granted to us, to be forever happy. We will no longer face famine and suffering but forever be with God in an everlasting place.
O Jesus Christ, may everyone long for this, which is not that difficult. We are aware of the bitter things in the world and the numerous choices, but what is the spiritual peace and joy that You granted? God, may we choose what You allow us to practice for that to become the signs that we cannot be without because even with challenges, those challenges help us have the eternal chair by Your side. May we have this ideal joy to persevere, no matter how challenging. Please remain with us, and with Your strengthening, we will not be discouraged but continue despite trial, suffering, and pain as You endured through the Cross. Your suffering was the shining example for us because no other suffering can compare to Yours, and only on the path of suffering can we meet You.
God, please help us understand this to continue on the path, carrying our crosses with determination and joy because You walk with us with those crosses. God, please help us in these first days of the New Year to deal with challenges, even painful crosses, because they become the meaning of life, of service, reminding us to recognize Your holy will. Please help us be zealous to unite to carry our crosses to triumph with the Lord Jesus Christ, to bring the brothers and sisters in the world back on the path of returning to You by the Way of the Cross. We thank, praise, and glorify God. May we belong to our Lord Jesus Christ. Totus Tuus.
The Third Kowtow, we offer to the Holy Spirit. O Holy Spirit, You are love, light, and truth. O God, without You, I would not be able to say one word, let alone have an entire message, to end up with a book that reports everything we experience with the frustrations, the successes, the failures, and the stories that bring meaning to our life with our mission.
Spirit, sublime and wonderful Supreme Being, I honor and thank You because You are the love of God the Father who loved man from the beginning, and the triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ through the Cross for us to have You. You allow us to know the depth, height, and width of faith, understand the great significance of human life, and have God, guided by God, receive, be touched, and awakened by love. The word love is so simple, but we cannot practice it yet and cannot do it yet; we cannot understand it yet, so we are still jealous, envious, and resentful, which prevents us from delving deeper and climbing another step to see the infinite greatness that God grants to us. If God does not help us remove this obstacle, then our lives are still bound to sin, but if we are sinful, we are forgiven by Jesus, though we do not know which way to take to receive forgiveness and what we must do to worthily come to that place of forgiveness. Thus, we must rely on You, O Holy Spirit. We always need you and long for You.
God, please pour Your Spirit abundantly over the world, grant the love of the Holy Spirit in each person for us to receive the seven gifts for His Spirit to work in our minds, hearts, and deeds to become righteous. Everyone longs for righteousness, but the truth is that we have been lured into a life of ego and personality by our sinful nature; we lack the strength to overcome temptations, but there are stories for us to learn and know. In the end, peace is what the world most yearns for, and we long for harmony and joy. God, please kindle our souls to give up the ego and personality in our lives, to give up our desire to follow our will, which causes us to fall into a situation where we lie in passions and errors.
These are things crushing us. May we be delivered from these tight chains for us to spend more time with God, to feel His love. Through the Gospel, there are many stories in reality and through the experiences in life that God granted, with the moments of failure, grief, worry, happiness, peace, and normalcy, we have meaning in life. O God, please help us, the chosen people, to open our eyes, ears, selfish hearts, and narrow-minded thinking and recognize things of the world that cause us days of worry and failure.
May we seek You and listen to You because You are the happiness because You are the treasure that enables us to move forward in the joy we have from faith. O God, today there is nothing that You do not solve for us, nothing You do not give when we ask what is reasonable and desire to return to the truth in the peace and the meaning of a righteous life. God, please help us understand this to remove what is wicked and imperfect that causes us to fall. Please grant us the wisdom to recognize what is right and wrong, true and false, good and evil, for us to know what belongs to You, to live in joy, in sacrifice, in peace, in charity, in forgiveness, to deserve to be the people who testify to love and be the apostles You chose.
O Holy Spirit, I thank You for Your patience. Each day in our life, each challenge, helps us to mature, to be wiser, and to choose what is proper on the path to witness the truth. O Holy Spirit, please help many of us recognize the importance of loving You and others, and remove everything that causes us to worry and fear because there is no other joy besides the joy of peace You grant when we practice things You teach. May we belong to You as we honor, thank, and praise You. May many know and return to You, recognize Your teaching in sharpness, and practice through our lives. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.
The Fourth Kowtow, we offer to the Eucharistic Jesus who is love and is still with us to this day, always by our side, quietly following us, teaching us, close to us, guiding us. We must lift, present, and thank Him because He allows us to meet Him to recognize the closeness and the love. Let us not be bound by anything, and from our faith, may we humbly and sincerely receive what He grants. May our works be meaningful because of His teaching and closeness.
God wants it that way, but the world and our viewpoint are narrow-minded. People consider certain things impossible and think of God as a distant Lord, the Lord of over 2,000 years, in a book that is opened and closed; they do not believe in Him. However, God requires our faith not to be restricted by things we see but to trust that He is always by our side because the Holy Spirit, God’s love, dwells in our souls. Thus, we cannot recognize simple and ordinary things. God is by my side, and whether this world rejects me, puts me down, or tramples on me, God is the loving Supreme Being who supports me so I will never fail, become despondent, and never lose what He grants in His grace.
O Eucharistic Jesus, though we are imperfect, weak, and unworthy, the Lord still teaches us to become worthy and loves us, not because we are holy and meek but because of His infinite Divine Mercy that granted us this favor. Thus, we need to walk together, be conscious and understanding, and recognize the things we are practicing. The perfection God specially offered us is the treasure of the Eucharistic Jesus, with His presence, His support, His visit, and His stay, which help each person become a masterpiece to prepare for a program in the history of the ending, to bring everyone back to God, to enter the Kingdom God is preparing for each person to meet Him. It is a world in which we long for peace, joy, and happiness, a world without war, suffering, pandemic.
O Eucharistic Jesus, You are the source of comfort, the protection of our present life. Please increase our faith and help us see the deeds that are Your support, and these deeds are happening in this world. May we continue to go out to testify, to live in a mission that You chose, to unite and remove the bad habits, weaknesses, and sins that cause us to always fall in our personal lives and hurt one another. God, please help us be zealous in our works, continue to testify to the truth, and proclaim the Good News as we heard from today’s Gospel. Jesus said to the eleven Apostles to go out and proclaim the Good News, and that proclamation continues.
Today, He comes to us through the Eucharist, and He also wants us to go out and proclaim the Good News, and it is from that proclamation of the Good News that we become a new person and truly worthy to be an apostle of the Eucharistic Jesus. Thus, today, things do not happen by coincidence but extraordinarily, marvelously, to those who are ordinary to do extraordinary deeds from His grace. Let us remember that God sent us and granted us sublime signs to help us understand that when we proclaim His words and the Good News by all the means He allows, He will give us many favors, like what we see and hear in the Gospel.
Today, those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ will not be chastised. The sublime signs will follow us when we trust Him, and His holy name will chase away demons. His holy name will help us recognize the voice of God teaching us. He grants us not to be bitten by serpents even when we hold them, not to be affected by poisons, and we will have the opportunity to heal the sick and give them peace in the name of God. God granted all these things to the Apostles of old, and He gives to the apostles who continue in the role that He allows. We are not like the saints of old, but we are not that different from them because of what we see through the books that are appropriate in this age, through silent works, through daily prayers, with the Six Kowtows we reverently offer on behalf of everyone.
Let us persevere and remain faithful through challenges we face and continue to follow Him loyally. All these things are similar in the apostolic life God specially granted for us to unite to thank Him and to listen, support one another, love one another, help one another, and remove what is not good in us. Let us live in a pure and chaste way, to guide one another, and testify to the love of the Lord as He chose us through the Blessed Sacrament. O God, it is such a great loftiness that You grant, not just to us, but You chose us to testify for You in this world, for many to know You, believe in You, hear You, and return to You.
God, we honor and thank You. God, please open the eyes and the hearts of people today to revere the Eucharistic Jesus, to believe in the Eucharistic Jesus, because You are the source of life for our world, the source of security and hope. Only You. May we respect love, amend our lives, and listen, remove all the narrow-minded and weak thoughts for us to serve God and glorify Him. May we belong to the Eucharistic Jesus. Totus Tuus.
The Fifth Kowtow, we reverently lift to the Five Holy Marks. O Jesus Christ of the Five Holy Marks, we thank and glorify You because the Cross that we feel today is the Cross of glory, the Cross of victory, the Cross of magnificence, the Cross of love, saving humanity, the Cross of Divine Mercy, and the Cross of the triumphant Resurrection, to enter the new Kingdom. God, may we honor, adore, thank, praise, and glorify the Supreme Lord who came into the world, conquered death, and brought glory and love to humanity, whom we affirm. It is for love that He sacrificed everything for us to live. Today, let us not be foolish and stupid to die in sin but honor God the Father, the First Holy Mark, the Supreme Being rich in mercy, the great Lord, the mighty Lord, the Lord that the entire world worships, prostrates to, and bows to thank, praise, glorify, honor, and profess.
The Second Holy Mark, we reverently lift to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Being whom we trust, the Supreme Being who conquered death to bring hope to humanity through generations, the Supreme Being who gave us an eternal doctrine, the Supreme Being who allowed the dead to resurrect and live in Him. May we learn to live according to His teaching, practice it, and become a new person who repents, surrenders, and prostrates before the Lord God who brought life to us, for us to leave the darkness to return to the light through the Supreme Being we profess, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our God, our Savior.
We lift up to the Third Holy Mark. O Holy Spirit, we thank You because You granted us the opportunity to receive the abundant graces poured over humanity for generations, especially in this age. Today, without You, how do we know and understand the works God is doing? These deeds are not pages written in the course of history but will forever be abundant pages as the Holy Spirit is working on our brains and on the hearts of those who believe in God. In our Christian life of faith, we are especially working on a program.
In our Church, the Holy Spirit never gives up. He is patient, and no one can be as patient as He is. He is the victorious Supreme Being who triumphs because when we are exhausted, He will help us and listen to our cries, asking for help. He never forces us but wants us to seek Him. He will never refuse when we ask for what is reasonable. May we continue to triumph because the Holy Spirit will forever protect our Church, and we have Mother Mary’s caring for us. Our Church is the rock that Jesus established and will stand firm despite tribulations. There will be favorable changes that the Holy Spirit grants.
Thus, we profess the Third Holy Mark by an affirmed faith, by surrender and prostration, to ask for a good improvement in the Holy Spirit, in a remaining and final age, to guide humanity back with one direction in unity, love, and forgiveness, giving up all the wicked and sinful ways of what is below in the world, to step into a world of spirituality that God offers to humanity in an age in which He grants plentiful riches and what is most suitable to save humanity in this world.
The Fourth Holy Mark, I reverently lift to the Eucharistic Jesus because His presence, permission, and visit have become a new program in history. In the present Church, God is the only Supreme Being who permits changes; God alone chose the Pope for him to receive God’s mandate to renew The Church with wonderful deeds that guide The Church and the laity to a new state through the Holy Spirit. Thus, the Eucharistic Jesus granted us the opportunity to have His visit and presence and the light shining through His great monstrance. Only those with a narrow-minded viewpoint, who are stubborn and hardened, disbelieve, but God is the Supreme Lord who forever will grant us wonders that we must believe. Let us trust to have life, believe to be saved, and be forgiven when we experience and return to God by a humble heart, by a sincere and contrite heart.
May we recognize the presence of God because matters most tragic and wicked have become the lessons in our lives, for what is most stale to become the newest, for defeats to become successes, and for the most painful events to become the most joyful and happy days God offers. Thus, to God, nothing is impossible; with enough faith, we will see the sublime works that God does as He calls us to a life of witness for Him. Today, let us bear this responsibility to profess and proclaim the truth. The Eucharistic Jesus will give to our world in the ending to know of His Kingdom as we prepare to enter it by a spirit of repentance, by a spirit of reformation, to be worthy to receive His intervention.
The Fifth Holy Mark, we do not just walk and understand by ourselves, but we have an exemplary Mother. From the beginning, when Mother gave Her Fiat to the archangel, Mother Mary became our Intercessor so that God would have mercy on us. The Savior came into the womb of Mother, and Jesus granted us special graces up to this century. We never lose these great and lofty graces.
We have Mother, the Fifth Holy Mark. The Holy Spirit wants Mother Mary to be our only model. She is a person who speaks little but performs. Mother Mary is a person who sacrifices, a perfect person before the Lord. She is the sublime favor and the treasure the Lord offers us, so any day we still have this treasure, we will never lose the opportunity; any day we still have this treasure, we still have hope in our beloved Mother. Mother dearly loves humanity, teaches us, always waits for us, and constantly seeks us. As we still have Mother, we have received the intervention of the Eucharistic Jesus, and we have received the glory of the Eucharistic Jesus. It is from Mother that we know the truth, and faith helps us when we recognize that today, though people know many things, they still do not understand and believe. However, we cannot deny the truth because of God’s glory, because of His presence, and because of His intervention. We will have days to choose the path that remains, the last one, to return to our Lord as Mother Mary did.
We cannot be without Mother in life. She is the Mother God granted us; when She said Fiat, the Savior dwelled in Her womb. Mother is the Being who guides humanity back to the path of holiness to belong to the Lord. We cannot be without Mother, so today, with the ending of history, let us listen to Her teaching, which is not too difficult but requires a humble heart, a simple heart, a heart that lives in the inner and practices. It is of utmost significance to not allow theory to be dominated by reasoning, knowledge, and learning by too many things in the earthly laws of what is below in the world, to lose the crucial basis in life.
Thus, return by the heart, pray daily, and lift up with soul and body by the surrender, the prostration. In the body that God created, let us lift up to Him with simple and humble words daily in life like an offering. May the Holy Spirit sanctify us. Mother teaches us this great way to pray because we pray to each Being, and we present and offer all things meaningful so God hears our prayers and the Holy Spirit is with us to teach us to pray. The Holy Spirit helps us reverently lift up to God the Father with the needed prayers, and we have Mother as an example to support and pray for us. She is the sublime and marvelous example God hears; He pours abundant graces to Her, and those graces are given to us from Mother for us to have this day.
Today, Mother teaches us that we will always have hope, salvation, and forgiveness. The Holy Spirit guides us but requires us to live by our hearts to understand the love with which God waits for us. Only love can break the stubborn, hardened human theory. It is because of love that God still waits and longs for our return and is by our side in great splendor; it is because of love that Mother’s tears keep flowing; it is because of love that Mother sheds blood tears to bring the children back; it is because of love that Her blood tears flow. Mother helps us without any harsh words for us. She is a quiet example, prays, and teaches us that prayer is a sublimity, so let us meditate on the Five Holy Marks, which have a clear meaning to help us and teach us to live a basic life to recognize the love of God. Let us unite to profess that Jesus died for us, to understand that that victory was to bring life to humanity.
Today, we are depraved in a wicked and sinful life. We have fallen too deep into the life of the ego and personality, and ultimately, we face failure, but this failure is the first step for us to decide with the remaining days. Today, Mother teaches us this to train us to lessen all that belongs to the world that we pursue because we do not know what is crucial. God is waiting for our hearts and our decisions. What we most need is the determination to return to Him, to remove things that surround us by our reasonings and arguments. In the end, prayers help us be wise; the Holy Spirit will support us to distinguish between right, wrong, true, false, holy, and evil for us to live according to the way Mother practiced on our behalf. We need to collaborate with Mother and listen to Her for us to have victory over the battle in which the devil always tempts us and challenges us.
We must choose, so let us give up our ego and bad habits and let us learn to pray to lessen the complications in a life of iniquity, weakness, and wretchedness for us to be worthy with the days we reverently lift up the offering to God through the Six Kowtows, with the Fifth Kowtow to the Five Holy Marks of the Lord Jesus Christ. God died for us. Let us listen and practice through Mother’s teaching to triumph in the remaining and last battle. Each person must choose for our souls to be worthy of the price of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mother Mary is helping us understand this value, so let us not foster what belongs to the world, which lures us in all things logical to lose spirituality. We must give up everything to become people who live by a humble and simple prayer that is meaningful for us to be reborn according to the way the Holy Spirit grants.
Mother Mary, I thank You because this gift is meaningful to our present lives. It is from this gift that we find the treasure to teach each of us because this gift helps us be reborn to become those to whom You specially granted in this world. May we belong to the Five Holy Marks; may everyone surrender and prostrate before the Five Holy Marks. May everyone repent before the Five Holy Marks because God redeemed us by the price of His blood. In the meditation of the Five Holy Marks is a meaning for each Person, which we receive through love and Divine Mercy, for us to be determined to leave sin. May we have forgiveness through the price of the blood of Jesus Christ, to reform and improve in a spirit of repentance by deed, by action, and a life of witnessing and testifying to become those forgiven by the Divine Mercy. May we belong to the Five Holy Marks. Totus Tuus.
The Sixth Kowtow, O Father, I thank You for giving us and choosing for us a Mother who silently practiced and followed Your holy will, a Mother who taught us the basics of virtue, a Mother who was an example to guide us on the path of return. Her life was in absolute humility, a life in silence and meditation, in obedience to God’s holy will, a life that was a great model for humanity. Today, we have the opportunity to listen to Her teaching, to practice in the days that are neither too short nor too long for us, like a new program to guide us to each Person, which we need to understand through the riches the Holy Spirit grants. Starting from the prayer that Mother taught, for us to understand the meaning of a profound way to pray, a focused way to pray, a way that does not allow distractions, and a way to pray in a spirit of penance.
These are things most simple, ordinary, and meaningful, which Mother practiced in the days while still on earth, for Her to leave this inheritance to us and the world. The world is in a state of tense days. We are the unrighteous, unfaithful, indifferent, immature in faith, who yield to the way of a world in knowledge and learning, a world in dispute and argument, a world in reasoning according to what is the worldly law, which has become a shameful method whereas people treat each other with constraint. As for those who are perfect in a life God calls and awaits, there are very few. For these reasons, Mother is reminding all classes and roles of the most basic and practical way to pray by heart and soul, pray in a spirit of penance, and pray with both soul and body as we reverently lift up to the Lord. With this way of praying, we meet God and focus on what we need to pray for all our issues because those issues are the most realistic in life for God to help us solve them and understand that God hears, listens, intervenes, and forgives.
It is important because, from these humble steps, we have become those who deeply understand the meaning of prayer for each of us today to have this experience and know that Mother is the person who teaches this way to help prepare us to enter into the new Kingdom. The world faces threats, fears, pandemics, wars, and rampant crimes, but Mother’s teaching helps us be calm, stand firm in our viewpoint, and not be afraid to go on each day when we reverently lift up to God. God will not forsake us when we come to Him, trust in Him, and though our lives have crosses, He will journey with us.
O God, I thank You for what You grant us because the words we say are from the Holy Spirit. He teaches us to lift up to Mother. Father, please allow us to offer Mother the Sixth Kowtow. We reverently lift up to Mother Mary’s Immaculate Heart and for Her triumph. O Mother, You are the Mother of the Divine Mercy, Mother of the Heart of love, Mother of the Eucharist, Mother of the Word Incarnate, Mother of the Savior, Mother of humanity, Mother of every sinner, criminal, saint, witness, victim, patient, repentant, every soul in purgatory, Mother of the clergy, Mother of The Church, and Mother of every present witness and victim.
O Mother Mary, we must honor and accept Your title and name in this world because what we know and do is from the silent way of prayer taught by You to guide us to God, to meet Him, to receive the splendid light that shines upon humanity, with the remaining and last days. Though tribulations happen everywhere, our faith cannot waver because we still have You and God to support us through the Blessed Sacrament. It is truly sublime and marvelous, which cannot be explained but only requires faith to practice. O Mother, I lift up this world to You, all the events that happen in the world: war, pandemic, all diseases, crimes, tribulations, The Church and society, and everything that threatens us.
In the reality of this evil state, we lift up to You. Mother, please continue to teach what we must do to return to God, to ask for His mercy and forgiveness, to become reformed and improved. O Mother, I thank You because we must pray and lift up to God everything, present, speak, and report in our mission, for God to know and see hearts that are returning, hearts that are longing. We do not have any other place of refuge apart from the Lord. Now is a time we cannot refuse the teaching from You for us to become humble and to receive the grace and intervention You granted us. With the days taught by You, the Eucharistic Lord visits us, silently illuminating us by His monstrance, supporting us, strengthening our faith, and intervening for us.
The glorious Supreme Being, the powerful Supreme Being, has acted. Let us become improved, reformed, and worthy through Mother’s teaching. How can we repay the great graces? We can only thank Mother on behalf of all classes and roles. Thanks to this gift, we become reformed; thanks to this gift that is the source of our comfort; thanks to this gift that has become the offering we reverently lift up to God for Him to accept our intentions. O Mother, we cannot describe all the graces, and there are no words to thank You; we lift up our grateful hearts and thank and honor You. Mother, please continue to teach us and pray for us.
Mother, please help us continue to meditate daily with the Rosary and the Divine Mercy chaplet. You offered to the world the Rosary of the Six Kowtows to pray for The Church. You taught us with the gift of the Six Kowtows that has become the offering that we reverently lift up to the Lord to help us deeply understand faith and solve all issues when we have no other way to resolve them in this world. Thanks to this gift, we are reassured because this way of praying helps us be more at peace, mature in faith, stand firm, persevere, and be faithful, to have God’s intervention, to not be afraid in all situations but be faithful to continue in prayer and lift up our offering.
You are the person who intercedes with God to save humanity in this ending of the present tense days. O Mother, I thank You and lift up to You in the first days of the New Year the matters I presented to God. At this moment, You hear us clearly, and You know that I lift up our Church to You, our society to You, all the nations in the world to You, Ukraine at war to You, Russia, and all issues in the world. I also lift up to You the brothers and sisters in the group, my parish, St. Theresa, Holy Rosary Church, St. Loren church, The Word Incarnate church, St.Tustin church, St. Thomas More church, and all the churches, around one thousand, at the places we have visited in the past years.
I lift up to You everything. Mother, please protect us. We pray for our fellow brothers to accept Your gift of the Six Kowtows, for them to silently pray as we pray, for God to have mercy and intervene for our world in this moment, to strengthen faith, for everyone to have love for one another, unite to serve God, proclaim the Good News, listen to Mother’s teaching in silence and prayer, for the world to have the support from the Divine Mercy and intervention from the Eucharistic Jesus, in the miraculous power that He granted to our world. In this spirit, I offer this new year to You; please help us to learn from the word of God through St. Mark: “Go out and proclaim the Good News.”
Mother, it is the mission, the duty, the life we choose to go out and proclaim the Good News, with the teachings from You, to prompt people to repent and return by the prayer we are practicing. The gift of the Six Kowtows You offered has become the rich offering of this age. Today, this practice helps us understand, repent, and return, in a contrite heart, to be worthy of the love of the Divine Mercy granted to humanity, to save us from the snares with the chains that have bound us for too long in sin. Please help us because there is nothing that the Lord cannot do; we need to believe and practice as You taught, for the world be reborn in the Lord Jesus Christ, by our return, in surrender, in prostration, in repentance, and be worthy of the love that God granted us with the visit and the strengthening of faith through the Blessed Sacrament.
O Mother Mary, I lift up these prayers and other matters in this new year; please protect St. Theresa church for this parish to be aware of God’s visit, to know more about their parish that God chose for the miracle, for everyone to recognize and strengthen their faith, to know that Mother gave the gift of the Six Kowtows here. May people welcome Mother’s gift to unite to glorify God through the mission to proclaim the Good News like we heard today in the Gospel. The story of St. Paul and his conversion is the example God is reminding this parish and the world. As for us, let us rise and return to be reborn in the Lord Jesus Christ.
St. Paul, please intercede with God for us because You had experiences in life. May the people who are pious and holy not stop at holiness but do the works that God wants in their lives by a life of witness, by a life of unity and trust, by a life of service to God, and by a loving heart. That is the law God loves, which taught us to love God and love others, for us not to be jealous and envious, petty and selfish, which are the traps that cause us to fall. These are the prayers I ask. Mother, please have mercy and accept them. May we belong to Mother. Totus Tuus.
O Mother Mary, I thank You for always helping us. We still have the saints, especially St. Joseph, whom God the Father chose. St. Joseph was a model of integrity and righteousness, the head of the holy family, and a responsible person who quietly lived a life of obedience. He was the person who obeyed the Lord, and his silent works all had merit that we need to learn from. He was a chaste person. God, please have mercy on us as we lift up everything that ensnares the world through wicked examples. The world does not know the meaning of integrity and righteousness, does not recognize the responsibility of a family, the duty of being a father and mother, and does not acknowledge the life of purity in those consecrated to the Lord.
I lift up to you, St. Joseph, and ask for your intercession for our Church to recognize how you were perfect in a life of virtue and purity for our Church to continue to be a shining example to those consecrated to the Lord. I thank you, St. Joseph. Please support my family, the family of the brothers and sisters in the group, the parishes of Holy Rosary, St. Theresa, St. Laurence, and the parishes we usually visit and pray. I also pray to the three archangels: St.Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael. Please help us in this world, in a battle between holiness and wickedness, in a state of tension between good and evil. St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael, please help us have victory over this battle and for people to return in unity by a life of amendment to be worthy of the Lord’s intervention and help.
I pray to the twelve archangels. Please guard our borders, the air, and everything we have that is getting contaminated. There are many evil things in the world because our enemy is the devil and causes pandemics and diseases. Please help us and dispel everything in the evil that the devil ensnares us, and help us to triumph in this ending for us to pray for God to intervene and forgive us. May we be delivered from all extreme suffering, illness, and war. We lift up and reverently offer our thanksgiving to the archangels. We thank the intercession of the saints for us who are Christians because you are the witnesses in faith by deed, so this world is called to become like you, to be the children whom God called and taught by Mother. Through Her gift of the Six Kowtows, may the world unite to return to the Supreme Lord, whom we profess and worship according to the examples of the saints who testified to the love, the truth, and the Good News Jesus granted to the world.
We thank Mother for leading us to the guardian angels who help remind each of us to avoid conflicts, jealousies, egos, personalities, and dependencies that we have become too familiar with for us to become mature people in repentance, surrender, prostration, with the meaning of penance, with the Good News that Jesus granted and taught us by deed. We thank the heavenly family for helping us. With these prayers, we always have hope because when we ask for things that are appropriate and reasonable, God never refuses. God, please have mercy and awaken the soul of each person for us to return and become mature people who are responsible for our mission, to witness to the truth that You granted in holiness.
I pray for souls in purgatory; one day, they will return to God. God, please have mercy on souls that pray for us to be strong and brave. We lift up on behalf of souls for them to soon leave that place of burning fire to return to You in Heaven. Once they are back with You, they will unite with us, pray for us, support us with prayers to be stronger, continue to complete the program that You assigned to us in this world, proclaim the Good News to invite everyone to return to the Supreme Lord who visits us and is among us – the Eucharistic Jesus. That great splendor will strengthen the faith of humanity. We adore, honor, and thank the Supreme Lord. We worship the Holy Name forever till the end of the world. May everyone surrender, submit, worship, honor, thank, and praise God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, now and forever.
I thank God the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Eucharistic Jesus, the Five Holy Marks, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, St. Joseph, the heavenly court, and all the archangels. I thank and ask for blessings for our Vietnamese New Year, for the Asians, and for the people we meet here and at the parishes we visit. May they be reborn in the new year and recognize the commandment of God to continue to witness and proclaim the Good News. I thank, praise, and glorify God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our God.
Those of us who are present here today are Lucia, Mercedes, Maria Nhung, and all the brothers and sisters over the phone, Anna, Paul Hoa, and Anne. I represent them in the new year, the Vietnamese people, and the country of Vietnam, and I would like to lift a most beloved sister in the group, Ky, who is present. United, we conclude this offering to God at 4:30 on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, at Holy Rosary church. On behalf of my children, I lift and ask for God’s blessing for my relatives and the loved ones of the brothers and sisters present today. We conclude this message in front of the Tabernacle, the Cross of Jerusalem, the holy statues of the Sacred Heart, of Mother Mary, of St. Joseph, and the icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Amen. Amen. Amen.
THE SIX KOWTOWS
AT THE HOLY ROSARY CHURCH
January 11, 2023
This message inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Lucia: God, it is 3:54 p.m., Wednesday, January 11, 2023. I face the sanctuary, the tabernacle, the Cross, the Jerusalem Cross, the holy statues of Your Sacred Heart, Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, and the icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Today, we read and reflect on the First Reading: the Letter to the Hebrews.
FIRST READING: Hebrews 2, 14-18
Lucia: Lord, today’s First Reading is for those who are put to the test. God can help those who live in trials, and if we are tested, God helps us understand what it means to be tested, because He is good and faithful, the One who atoned for us. We have the opportunity to recognize His salvation and be delivered. God did not come to save the angels, but He came to save us, Abraham’s children and descendants. Jesus came to redeem us, for us to overcome the death of destruction which the devil caused. Jesus comes to help us live and become those who live inside of hope, even though the world is going through many changes, turmoil, and bad things with sufferings, war, and the pandemic. Inside the Lord Jesus Christ, with Him, the only Son that the Father gave us, and through Him; we are made righteous, receive salvation, and through His intercession we become upright and live in the present hope.
Lord, in the Reading, You said: “Alleluia, Alleluia, My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me.” If we did not believe and did not know what we were doing, we would not be able to keep track of what You specially granted to us in these past twelve years. We know God and believe in Him, so we see what He gives to our world. We are the lowly people God called to represent the world to acknowledge His visit. God reveals His glory to strengthen the faith and lead the people, so they can gather and return to the Lord God who has the power to defend and forgive us. May we recognize His Divine Mercy and return to Him.
The Lord said, “My sheep hear My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.” Lord, may we follow You; please, do not let us fall into any situation, no matter how sophisticated and skillful in this age. You alone are the One with whom we take refuge. You are the just, the righteous, the true One, whom we follow; we belong to You. We lift up to You, even though our world is still in a state of persecution, with days of falling into the tension of an age in which man seeks civilization, sophistication, and the culture of death. But there are still people who are faithful and belong to You. God, please look upon those people and give us the opportunity to know the truth, and return in unity to worship, honor, and thank You.
Lord, we thank You. Today, in Mass, we heard in the Gospel from Saint Mark that Jesus healed Saint Peter’s mother-in-law who was sick. He healed her, and she got up to serve them. We see these miraculous things when Jesus healed the sick. When Jesus was at the house of Saint Peter, many came to ask for His healing. He healed many sick people and those who were possessed. We can see there was no illness which Jesus did not heal, and what do we finally learn? Early morning, Jesus arose from the house, went to a lonely place, and prayed. The holy Apostles went looking for him and eventually found Him; they went on to proclaim the Gospel.
We see four things: Jesus healed the sick; He cured those with diseases; He healed people from all kinds of illness; His was a life of prayer. Jesus was a model of prayer; He was a person who prayed. Jesus always prayed, listened to what the Father wanted, and did His Father’s will. He did not forget, did not give up despite the hardships, difficulties, and obstacles, and did not give up on preaching the Gospel. Jesus gave these things to the world today through our Church; we see Jesus choose priests to celebrate the rites He left for us. That is the Blessed Sacrament.
He instituted the Blessed Sacrament from the first day as spiritual nourishment for us. It is also a reminder of His presence over 2,000 years ago, He is still with us today through His power. At the same time, we hear His Gospel; throughout generations, the Gospel and the word of God are the main point for our lives, the light that guides us through this life. We read stories of trials; we do not fear them because God is the Lord who helps those that are tested. He understands these tests will help us become people who are faithful, patient, and who persevere with Him until the very end. Jesus endured trials and extreme suffering on the Cross and fulfilled His responsibility when He came into this world. Jesus had to suffer torture and die, and in the end, He triumphed gloriously and brought life to humanity so we could resurrect.
Today, we see His life as Saint Mark recorded in the Gospel; He came into the world and granted us spiritual and physical healing. He was the example of a life of prayer and the person who set out to proclaim the Gospel. Today, our Church continues to proclaim the Gospel, and the Lord also grants to us, the laity, the duty to continue to announce the Gospel. Before we proclaim the Gospel, let us pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us what we need to do, what we must do in God’s plan, to be people with a mission. Let us understand the importance of joining the Church, keeping what belongs to us given by God, to the Church, to our world, and to every Christian. Let us not fall into a state of being tempted in the world and lose our inheritance which God has specially reserved for us.
We reverently offer the First Kowtow to God the Father.
O Father, I adore, thank, praise, glorify, and honor You. Today, You allow me, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to lift the problems that have befallen our Church. The people You took back with You were Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, Cardinal George Pell, and a priest we knew very well for the past six years, Father Dominic Nguyễn Đức Hạnh, at the Benedictine Monastery of Thiên Tâm in Kerens, TX. He was the founder for this place which became a venue for the annual Eucharistic Congress which we attend. At the same time, I pray for all the deceased priests and bishops we do not know of at this time; especially with the great mourning in the Church because many people have passed away.
God, please have mercy on their souls and allow them to see Your Holy Face through the Divine Mercy, which You grant to humanity in general and especially to the priests. In our hearts we pray especially for them, and we ask You to look at their lives with what they did in loyalty until the last moment. Please have mercy and compensate Cardinal George Pell with the injustice he endured for thirteen months. There were things in Cardinal Pell’s life that no one stood up for, no one stood up to restore the justice due to him; his reputation was ruined by the unrighteous, the unjust, and those in the government. Because of this, we must continue to pray, for only God’s teaching has justice and righteousness, but in life no matter what, people are still not walking in God’s way and are prone to unrighteousness.
There are many things we cannot explain in words through politics that discredit the righteous and trample their honor. Today, the Lord grants especially for the righteous; He will protect, preserve, and intercede for them; as for the unrighteous, they will receive what they choose. Here, we see what is true or false, right or wrong, good or evil, very clearly. O God, graciously grant the departed souls what they desire. Please protect these souls and let them enjoy Your Divine Mercy in the eternal kingdom. I lift up to You and ask You to forgive their sins, weaknesses, and imperfections of their human condition.
God may the departed souls soon return to You and the place reserved for those belonging to You. In their lives, they experienced days of weakness, and You know that some fell into being unjustly accused, some had to bear the responsibility and suffer much without any explanation. They do not need to make excuses or justifications; You will be the Supreme Being who defends justice and righteousness for each person. God, allow us to lift up to You today, no matter how the world looks at us, but grant us to be able to continue quietly and go out to serve, to bring the Good News to everyone for them to recognize and return to You. We praise, worship, and honor You. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Second Kowtow to Jesus.
Jesus, our Redeemer, our Savior. Today, the First Reading and the Gospel are good. You came, took on human nature, atoned for our sins, and brought us justice and righteousness. You defended those tested, understood those challenged, and You have Your way. So, our lives with trials are not meaningless days; You see, know, and will intervene for us. In this world, we must go through trials to become righteous people. It is through these trials we grow up in Your grace, because You test people like gold in the fire. In our human life, we need to overcome challenges to see whether our loyalty and perseverance belong to You. Today, You know when the appointed time is to return to You, no one can hide anything before the judge.
Jesus, You came into this world. Your life was to heal people, bring the Gospel to people, blessing them. Your life was prayer; You continued on the path of evangelization and chose the holy Apostles to continue the program through the present Church. Lord, our God, have mercy on the deceased shepherds, the persecuted righteous ones, and the countries where people’s life of faith are restricted and forbidden, where they face imprisonment. Please have mercy on the disadvantaged citizens and the victims in this day and age.
Jesus, with events surrounding us, how pitiful for the lowly and the victims through the ages who did not have the opportunity to know You. God, have mercy on them because they did not know You in their lives, and with the pandemic, if they die, they will not have the opportunity to repent. Where will their souls go at that time? We know that You are the just Supreme Being who understands and sees the situation in each country, in each class, especially in the world that we, the victims, reverently lift up and beseech to You. Please have mercy and help us know You and return to You, especially the Christians. We must know our duty and responsibility, our assignment and in the required mission, listen and unite with the Church, to recognize our role and ministry, as spiritual children.
In particular, in the Gospel, we read that we are prophets, priests, and kings. We must fulfill the duty and responsibility God grants in a special way to each person, and it is through the Church that we recognize and acknowledge what is important. We live in our mission and calling, to proclaim the Gospel, bear witness to the truth, glorify, adore, and confess our Savior as our Lord. May everyone open their eyes and hearts, in their respective roles, to assume the responsibility and duty to bear witness to the truth. May we belong to the Second Person of God, the One whom we adore, honor, and thank. May we belong to God. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Third Kowtow to God the Holy Spirit.
O Holy Spirit, You are the love, the light, and the truth. We thank You, for until this moment, the stories we see are ordinary, but in faith, we see Your support and protection. You will cut beautiful flowers and pick fresh fruits to be the offering on our behalf in today’s world. Especially for those who have departed, who have ended their lives faithfully, and passed away unexpectedly. There are many things for which the world must make amends to them out of justice and righteousness, but many have already passed on. God, You do not allow the righteous to suffer at the hands of the unrighteous, have mercy on the passing of these souls. May their deaths awaken the deceitful who, in their unrighteous lives, have caused the righteous to suffer injustice. God will be the Supreme Being who upholds justice.
O Holy Spirit, the time has come; You granted the truth to humanity. Your Spirit has enlightened those who recognize justice, righteousness, and truth. You are the Supreme Being who illuminates people to know right, wrong, true, false, goodness, and evil. May everyone return to holiness, remove evil and prepare themselves before the throne of God; no one can escape from this path, which is the only path at the end of our life, to either spend eternity with God or enter a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth with a fire that never goes out. Let us choose for ourselves; let it not be too late. I lift up to You all that is coming to our Church today, which is a major mourning for Christians, but things continue to happen. I do not know what else to do, but to lift up to God.
God, please preserve Pope Francis. We pray for the Pope to have good health to continue the programs that You gave him, with the crucial mission to help our world, especially for the parishioners to conclude the synod and together bear the responsibility to defend the mission that You gave to each person. Let us protect our Church, what belongs to us, which You grant through the truth, for us not to belong to a chaotic world, a world where man has lost justice and righteousness. We know You alone give us security, happiness, and peace; You do not let the unrighteous take what belongs to us, but we must pray. Let us apologize, reverently lift up, and ask for improvement in our lives, to be worthy of the love with which the Holy Spirit enlightens and guides us. The power, the enlightenment, and the righteousness of the Holy Spirit will help us understand what we need to do and what we must do.
First, let us surrender, prostrate, honor, worship, and thank. God, please forgive, sanctify, and transform us to become new people, take on the responsibility, the calling, and the mission, to practice in a role enlightened and guided by the Holy Spirit. We lift up everything in the world we live in, even ourselves – our daily irresponsibility’s, indifferences, and our coldness, for us to become responsible people uniting with our Church to demonstrate the life of Christians. Let us live in the Gospel, worthy for others to recognize God and the Spirit of God to bring about the security, happiness, and peace that everyone needs and desires. God alone is the Supreme Being who gives us the hope the world needs to know to return.
God, accept the Third Kowtow in a spirit of thanksgiving, gratitude, trust, and hope. Please enlighten us, guide us, and receive our repentance. May we receive the sharpness in the grace You bestow, to become new and responsible people to serve and minister in the calling with the synod. At the same time, may it be successful and manifested soon, for everyone to live in Your grace with duty and responsibility, to jointly care for our Church, for the inheritance with what You grant. Let us hold onto faith, righteousness, justice, and truth, because God waits for each Christian. We cannot do it by our strength alone, but when we ask for reasonable and appropriate things, the Holy Spirit will never refuse. Believe, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
O Holy Spirit, lift us up to the Father, help us confess to Jesus, listen to Your word, obey Your will, and through Your teaching, become children worthy of the Divine Mercy, of the salvation, of the love You have shown and taught us. We thank, praise, and glorify You. Please open our eyes, open our hearts to soften, sweeten, perceive, practice quickly, and be receptive to continue making sacrifices on the path of witnessing to the Gospel, to the truth from God. May we live in a generous, forgiving, selfless way, united with the brothers and sisters, and continue to bear witness to the truth You grant.
May everyone know and recognize Your visit and tender love to help us become righteous. May we become simple and humble, obey and listen to things of justice and righteousness that You grant, become witnesses for this age, to invite all of our fellow brothers and sisters to return in prostration. May we listen to the sharpness You teach to help us become righteous, which we need in life to return, to be worthy of the Divine Mercy God grants through the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. May we belong to You, who are strength, love, and truth. May everyone listen to return to Your teaching and instruction. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Fourth Kowtow to the Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
O, Eucharistic Jesus, I thank You. Is there a god we pray to that is with us? O Eucharistic Lord, You are by our side, present with us, visiting us with Your glory and power to see with the eyes of faith the great sublimity that You specially granted in Your intervention for the world. May we not be indifferent, apathetic, cold, or persist in our habits with the lack of reverence and respect, with days of neglect, offending You. May we compensate and recognize Your visit and Your love because You still patiently wait for the maturity of our faith and awareness to return to You.
May we not let time pass in vain, but may we be conscious of the time You permit, to submit, surrender, honor, adore, and entrust, in respect, and in love, with the stronghold we need in this life. May we lift up to You, O Eucharistic Jesus, You are a sacred sacrament, a spiritual and great sacrament. Especially for Christians, may we realize that Your institution is still present to help us recognize an infinitely precious treasure that the world desperately needs to draw upon through a life of obedience. You said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” We are people in great need of rest, because we are living in the days dominated by a civilized, sophisticated world with the culture of death; we have lost what we need in our inner life, which is to pray to thank, honor, and grasp the recognition of belonging to You.
In today’s Gospel, we read about Jesus praying and His exemplary prayer life. A Christian’s life cannot be complete without prayer, but how do we pray to become restored and improved through love and to encounter God? Let us live with humility and obedience and pray to come to the Eucharistic Jesus. A giving of thanks for His great mystery and institution, the basis for us to look to, the great miracle to strengthen the faith in humanity, a sublime wonder not found in the world. But this is also the Lord to whom we pray. He is with us, listening to our prayers, loving and forgiving us.
May we awaken to return to righteousness, remove all the passions inside of ego and personality, and return to God to be worthy of His love as He waits for us and visits us. Today, our life is selfish, indifferent, cold, and insensitive to each other, but God is the Supreme Being who gave us emotions of the heart, this is the love He awaits. It is a lofty spirituality; we cannot refuse the visit of Jesus Christ, the institution of the Eucharist, to stay with us, in the dwelling of our hearts to comfort and intercede for us.
It is time; we must recognize, confess, thank, praise, and honor. No one but God can give us a safe place to trust and entrust. May we belong to God in a doctrine established; He remains with us to nourish our souls, The Lord who stays with us, The mighty God. We have eyes to see and ears to hear; let us not refuse the wonderful goodness that God gives to humanity for everyone to know His power, in the submission, prostration and surrender, with a contrite spirit, to be forgiven by Him, sanctified by Him, for the world to become united in bearing witness to the truth.
May we be together in unity, reverently lifting up to make up for indifferent days for those who are unworthy, imperfect, and those who forget. To make up for our past, of the total disrespect for the Blessed Sacrament offending Him many times one way or another. God, please forgive us. It is time; we must return asking God for forgiveness, to wholeheartedly make up for the past, and testify to the truth for our brothers and sisters to return. As Christians, we need to know the reverence required before the Eucharistic Jesus. We need to seek Him, rest in the spiritual life, and receive His teaching, so our lives can become just and worthy of His love, worthy of Him waiting for us.
God, have mercy on the souls whom we pray for, the deceased in the ranks of the Church, those wronged; they were the departed priests we lifted up. Please have mercy for their souls to return to You soon. You took back with You the priest who founded the Benedictine Thiên Tâm Monastery; may the successors who are commissioned, walk in Your way for the Monastery to further expand, so Houston may attend the yearly Eucharistic Congress event more solemnly, friendlier, for everyone to be aware of the Eucharistic Jesus, of His works and His revelation to humanity. In the intervention, love, and defense, may we have the opportunity to compensate, apologize, thank, and be worthy of the love God grants. May we belong to the Eucharistic Jesus. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Fifth Kowtow to Five Holy Marks of Jesus Christ.
O Jesus Christ of the Five Holy Marks, I honor, adore, and thank the Five Holy Marks of the Divine Mercy; the Five Holy Marks that patiently wait; and the Five Holy Marks that we still value, perceive, and seek. The Five Holy Marks waited and gave us favors to help us step out of negative and failed days.
O Jesus Christ of the Five Holy Marks, glorious resurrection! The First Holy Mark, I lift up to God the Father in thanksgiving, I praise His infinite Divine Mercy for humanity up to this century. Father, You so loved the world that You sacrificed Jesus so those who believe in Him can have life, can survive, understand, and have the opportunity to lift up to His love and Divine Mercy. Father, please allow us to honor You, worship You, and make reparations. Father, please forgive us. May we confess Jesus Christ, the Second Holy Mark, the Savior the Father granted to us. Thanks to Jesus, with Jesus, and His holy name we are saved, forgiven, and live in hope. Whatever the circumstances with any century, no matter how many allurements of sin in this century with tension, war, suffering, or pandemic, with the many things happening between man and man in crime and violence, God is still the Lord of justice, righteousness, and truth, and always grants.
Whoever believes in God and asks for things that are in righteousness, God will not refuse, but it depends on His appointed time. Today, we must urgently proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. God, please deliver us, and allow us to lift up everything from our past in sin and weakness. Let us be determined to return to You in righteousness, be worthy of the proclamation, and rely on Your doctrine to leave the wrong path and make amends. May we belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, whom we proclaim. Please accept our gratitude, praise, and exaltation. The Third Holy Mark, I offer to the Holy Spirit. Without You, there is no one who can enlighten and guide us to be aware of a treasure that still exists, because we have long been selfish, cold, indifferent, and have intentionally or unintentionally offended with lack of reverence when we receive God into our hearts. Today, may we lift up to You and ask You to teach us, help us understand the precious value of the spiritual life.
We forever have the price of the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and the infinite love and Divine Mercy of the Father. O Holy Spirit, may we return to listen to Your teaching, be sharp in Your guidance, and ask for Your Spirit to guide us to open our eyes, our souls, and our hearts, to live a humble life, listen and return with a repentant and contrite heart, in a spirit of gratitude and acceptance. Through Mother’s teaching, may we acknowledge each Person we lift up to, profess, and rejoice when we offer our prayers. May our souls and hearts be touched and realize the best things in the past which we have unintentionally or intentionally lost and the importance of prayers for Christians.
O Holy Spirit, thank You for the rich thoughts and experiences You have granted. May God help us live more deeply in prayer to understand what God gives, for us to become repentant, and to offer all prayers on behalf of all classes and roles. We reverently lift up to You, speak with You, present to You, report to You, and ask for Your mercy and intervention.
O Holy Spirit, it is such a richness. We cannot lose what is inherent in Your sweet love; may we live our lives with the mission and the calling You granted to each Christian, zealously bear our responsibility, and understand our responsibility and duty, to proclaim and glorify God. I offer the Fourth Holy Mark to honor the Eucharistic Jesus, not to stay silent, nor let people indulge in the way of life in the present world. We must realize that God remains with us to intervene for us. He brings us hope when we are discouraged and defeated.
O Eucharistic Jesus, You are the mighty Lord. You are coming to prompt the lowly children; the wretched sinners like us. You created us from Your infinite, boundless love and Divine Mercy; You do not abandon us. You always use all the means to support, save and give us a chance. O Eucharistic Jesus, may we believe in You, in Your presence. May we visit, listen to Your teaching, and witness to the truth. Each of us has a duty and responsibility through the mission and calling from the Church, to unite and bear witness to our Lord Jesus Christ, especially for us to testify about the Eucharistic Jesus. His sweet love is still waiting for us. We are looking forward to our maturity, to believe and welcome Him.
Your visit strengthens our lives to recognize Your teaching, to practice in our lives, and become alive with the days in the privilege You granted. Let us not lose senselessly and in vain what You gave, when our lives depended on the earthly world in the ingenious sophistication and the allurement of a civilized, sophisticated age, which is the culture of death. Help us rise to realize what is ours, listen to Your guidance and presence, and visit, to strengthen our faith. Thank You for giving us more understanding, wisdom, and courage to return to You.
The Fifth Holy Mark, we cannot know and understand by ourselves; we cannot understand each Person. It was Mother Mary, the person who was silent all Her life, quiet amid this world, who meditated and prayed without saying much, but when She spoke, it was an instruction for us to know God, return to God, and embrace His grace. Today, let us not reject what She teaches, which is to become pioneers who reverently lift up to God, with a sincere and contrite heart, through a spirit of penance and gratitude, with words spoken and offered, in humility, obedience, and practice. Let us start a prayer life, because the present world needs to know the prayer required to be sanctified and transformed. Let us remind ourselves and ask for forgiveness. Let us learn to praise, through deed, through action, through a life called to serve, repent, and be grateful, be worthy of what Mother Mary taught us. Let us be aware and volunteer to testify to love and truth.
Our human condition has nothing to offer, but we lift up to God through thanksgiving and gratitude. Mother, continue to teach us, because You are the One who understands our weakness, our lack of prayer, and our lack of living a life close to God. We end up stumbling and easily falling into situations with allurement and we are drawn into the world of iniquity. Due to these very points, You teach us to unite and bow in adoration, praise, and exaltation with the Five Holy Marks of Jesus Christ, our Savior. The heavenly family dwelled in the spiritual and in meditation, this we need to know. Together, we unite and offer to You all that is happening in the world along with the people in the Church who have passed away. God, defend, protect, and guard the sheep and the flock. We cannot lose the great opportunity to care for what belongs to us, given from God.
God, please grant us wisdom and understanding to recognize our Savior. Through the Cross, He died for us to live, so we cannot lose the value of our lives under any circumstances. Together, we glorify, adore, thank, praise, and exalt. May we belong to Jesus Christ of the Five Holy Marks. Mother, what You taught and did is an example for us today; may we continue through Your intercession, teaching, and arrangement to grow up. May we continue on the path of silently witnessing to Your gift, for everyone to recognize the inner life in prayer and penance, to reverently lift up to God and ask Him to intervene and grant to us and to our world.
Please hear our prayer and defend righteousness. May the unrighteous repent and return while time permits, for us to honor and adore the Five Holy Marks of Jesus Christ, in a spirit of penance and gratitude, to praise and glorify the Supreme Being who alone conquers death, brings the glorious resurrection to humanity, so we may be His children, and belong to a life in the practice of His teaching. We cannot lose during the days of being seduced by the world, by evil, selfishness, and greed. Let us return to justice and righteousness through the Gospel. The Holy Spirit grants to us and the presence of the Eucharistic Jesus helps our faith overcome challenges, to belong to God in loyalty and perseverance. May we belong to Jesus Christ of the Five Holy Marks. We thank You, Mother. Totus Tuus.
We reverently offer the Sixth Kowtow to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her triumph.
O Father, please allow us to reverently offer the Sixth Kowtow to Mother as the Holy Spirit instructed us.
O Father, I thank You for choosing Mother for us, because Mother taught us to stand up in our current stressful situation, to help us know the duty and responsibility of Christians, of the mission and the calling, which we need to know. Thanks to the Church and through the Church, we unite with the Church in the duty and responsibility to proclaim the Gospel in life, to defend the kingdom God granted us, defend fairness, justice, and the peace we need. We cannot allow the oppression of a civilized world; we cannot let evil rage with the righteous being marginalized and perishing in the way that has occurred.
O Lord, all things happen because of weakness, lack of decisions, and unity, so we stumble and cannot overcome evil and temptations. The serpent that deceived our first parent Eve in the past now uses all kinds of cunning tricks to deceive our human race today. But we still have Mother, the Eucharistic Jesus, and things will never continue to rage according to evil. We stumble because of our weakness, but God helped us and gave us Mother, who took action, who tried to save us, taught us, showed us how to live with the heart reverently offering to God the Six Kowtows, for us to remember a life of prayer and penance.
We ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit to protect us. We confess Jesus Christ to be restored and reformed when God allows the time through Mother’s intercession, for us to have this day, to know that we must practice a life of prayer, which is the weapon to protect ourselves, to be more mature in God’s grace. Let us not forget what we offer and profess to God.
O Mary, Mother of Divine Mercy, Mother of the Heart of Love, Mother of the Eucharist, Mother of the Incarnate Word, Mother of the Redeemer, Mother of all humanity. Mother of every sinner, every saint, every prisoner, every victim, every witness, every penitent, every patient, every soul in purgatory, Mother of the Church, Mother of the clergy, Mother of every witness, and Mother of every victim for whom we are praying. Mother, Your title and name, people will not forget and refuse. We honor and thank You. Thanks to Your teaching, we have the gift today, though simple, it is very profound, to help us meditate and recognize our sinful and weak condition. If we do not practice, there is nothing to lift up to God and ask for, with an intervention.
We are the lowly, the weak, victims, and sinners, and we have this day thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ’s salvation. Today, Mother continues to help us understand our role and the role that the blood of Jesus saved. We cannot become meaningless and cannot become minions for the things this earthly world is practicing and forgetting in the lofty spirituality that God wants us to feel, hear, see, and contemplate. He wants us to return to Him in faith and become witnesses to the Gospel during these times in which He has revealed to us in this world. We do not automatically know all these things; Mother has taught us.
Mother, may we listen to Your words, for these days to be days of witnessing, spending time praying, going everywhere reminding people of our weak, sinful, wretched condition. We have nothing left except to repent, to be grateful with soul and body, mind and heart, reverently lifting up to God. Mother, You prayed and practiced for us in Your earthly days to help us have an inheritance like today. Today, this is the inheritance You left to us, because with our own strength, we cannot overcome this world. For generations, we have continued to live in days of weakness, and we stumble, bound by all the earthly reasoning, forgetting our sinful condition. We need to return with penance and gratitude, ask for reformation and strength to become worthy children, because Jesus Christ paid for the redemption of humanity at the price of His blood, and the love of Divine Mercy still awaits our maturity of faith.
Everything we do today, Mother has done for us first. At the same time, She leads us back to the Lord who is still with us in this world, but we remain indifferent. We need to understand better so we can have His intervention. We reverently lift up to God so our souls can rest in peace when we come to the Eucharistic Jesus. Where the Eucharistic Jesus is, there also is Mary. God’s presence is a reminder, for people to have a bold and courageous faith, to believe and see the lofty mystery of God’s visitation, His protection, support, and consolation which He grants to humanity, reminding us to live in the Gospel, in the doctrine, being perseverant and faithful.
Do not get discouraged, do not give up. God is the Lord who always listens to those who repent, who seek the truth and justice, those who listen and obey, and those who are humble. The graces they desire, He never refuses, and He grants special favors to save us and the world. Today, who shows us this path? Who told us to practice? It is Mother Mary. Mother, we thank You, honor You, and apologize for the moments of weakness, immaturity, foolishness, ignorance, and lack of practice. Today, thanks for this practice, the inner prayer life, the daily offering through the gift that has become a great oblation to the world, to all classes and roles, reminding us to pause and meditate.
Our lives need to be joined in solidarity, prayer with the inner heart, asking for Mother’s intercession, for the world to soon have peace, for everyone to be united, loving each other, and forgiving each other. May we be united and come together in prostration and surrender, because every knee must bow and prostrate before the Lord; then He will come, and His Kingdom will be close. We must practice now, to return to His Kingdom later and seek a kingdom in our present lives with adoration and worship. We are princes and princesses, but we do not know our status. We are prophets, priests, and kings; those are the things recorded in the Gospel, but we do not understand how to practice our roles, so today, due to our dependence on sin and with this world, we face division and are scattered everywhere.
Unintentional or intentional things brought us suffering. We are affected by war, trial, and pandemic, and ruled by the hands of the devil. God, please help us, save us, deliver us. May Mary help us practice humility, obedience, and help us listen to Her example, for our lives to be worthy of the intervention of God’s Divine Mercy. We glorify and adore the Father. We profess and revere Jesus, our Savior. We listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We honor and worship the Five Holy Marks, the glorious Savior and the Supreme Being who has gloriously resurrected to give us life and hope. We bow and thank, adore, and glorify the Eucharistic Jesus. May we listen and return to You through the Five Holy Marks to which we prostrate and surrender, to deepen our meditation and see what belongs to us granted through the Five Holy Marks.
May we listen to Mother’s teaching through a life of practice, of faith, reverently lifting up through penance, to present, and record events. We ask God to forgive our sins and accept our repentance through the surrender in the prostration, with the heart asking to return, to learn from Mother and receive Her teaching. Mother, we lift up to You and ask for Your intercession so that our world, especially our Church, may be united. May our Church have peace in God’s blessing for the word of God and His Gospel to be spread everywhere, in each country.
We rely on the word of God to save our souls and heal our bodies, for us to become the people who proclaim the Gospel, living our mission and calling in these days that desperately need unity. Through the Pope, the Church is giving us the synod. May we not follow the world’s logic but be alive, enthusiastic, and continue to bear witness to love and truth. May we become reformed in the Divine Mercy God granted to give to each other. We pray for God’s Kingdom to come and for His holy will from heaven and on earth to belong to Him in glory, adoration, thanksgiving, and confession.
O Mother Mary, we thank You for your Immaculate Heart and Your triumph. With Your perfect virtues, all Your perfections, help us win this final battle. Only You can teach us to win this battle; otherwise, we will live lonely, hardened, insensitive, and divided. Mother, you see the state of our society and the world today; we do not know what to rely on; we lift everything to You: our Church, society, all countries, all the laity, all classes, and roles. Please teach us to pray, be humble and simple, to reverently lift up to the Father, and ask Him to have mercy on our world through His intercession.
We pray for God’s holy will according to what He wants for us. We thank Jesus Christ, the Supreme Being who strengthens our faith, visits, protects, guards, and helps us show respect and venerate this sublime and mysterious Sacrament. May we unite in confessing and glorifying the Eucharistic Jesus for everyone to know of His stay and intervention for the world today. Thanks to the prayers through Mother’s intercession, for the help of heaven, to intercede for us in a world facing war, crisis, and pandemic. Please save us. All that we ask, please accept our apology and gratitude on behalf of all classes and roles. Blessed Mother, intercede and answer our prayers. May we belong to Mother. Totus Tuus.
Mother, we thank You for leading us to Saint Joseph, a model for our world, especially for every family in the world, through integrity and righteousness. May Saint Joseph, as the patriarch of the Holy Family in the past, be the patriarch of our Church today, the head of every family, for us to return in obedience. Through Saint Joseph’s intercession, may we live in unity and mutual support, with God’s teaching, with the doctrine, and may truth be granted to us in this world. We thank God and thank Mother for bringing us to the three archangels. Our world cannot resist the devil, the evildoing, the unrighteousness, and the injustices in this world. We ask for the help of the three archangels to please come to our defense, because you keep the balance of justice. Help us, heal us, strengthen our faith, so we may be united to listen to your intercession.
We pray to the twelve archangels who guard the borders, countries, mountains, oceans, and even the air we breathe. The air we breathe is polluted, and we are falling into a state of domination by evil people. May God have mercy and allow the twelve archangels to come to our aid, return the air to purity, and return the air to its genuine form in nature which we have lost due to the hands of the wicked. Save us and help us, for we can do nothing except pray and plead, asking for your help, your intervention, and defense. We thank God for giving us the angels; we see and appreciate their visit, support, and reminders. We recognize the example of the saints who have passed through the course of history and helped our life of faith to be as solid as theirs.
We have not been able to do it yet, but we owe it to their example, through their intercession, for us to become people who proclaim the Gospel, steadfast in the life of faith, to bear witness to love and truth. We thank all the saints; please hear our prayers. Their intercessions allow us to continue our silent mission and bear witness to the truth through Mother’s gift, which is the offering we reverently lift. Mother, we thank You for helping us realize we have guardian angels. They always remind, teach, and help us learn to serve and minister, for our lives to become as children belonging to God, to pray on behalf of the world, of all classes and roles, and especially the victims in the world. God, have mercy and hear us.
The guardian angels help us, protect us, and remind us. Please help us not err, not to live in iniquity with the days of the past but to become a new person worthy of receiving our mission and calling, to join with the Church bearing witness to the truth. We lift up everything we do to God through His holy will. God, sanctify us to be worthy of the mission You give and grant us. May we always learn to be humble and simple, may we listen, and practice for everything we do to be offered to God in His holy will.
I thank Mother for especially teaching us. Our prayers are from the Holy Spirit’s teaching. Mother teaches us everything, and thanks to the gift from Mother, we have this day. We thank praise, glorify, and honor God. Please accept the offering of the Six Kowtows, especially on the Wednesday of each week, as we reverently lift up before the sanctuary in Holy Rosary Church. God, I offer to You thanksgivings, blessings, praises, and prayers for those who have passed away in the ranks of the Church, especially the recently deceased Cardinal George Pell, Father Nguyễn Đức Hạnh at the Benedictine Thiên Tâm Monastery, and other priests we do not know, please receive their souls. As for all the deceased religious men and women, the innocent citizens, please have mercy on these souls and intercede for them to benefit from Your Divine Mercy.
We must fulfill our duty and responsibility, to continue on the path of service, to serve silently, and especially to talk and testify about the Eucharistic Jesus who has come, visited, and interceded for us. Let us prepare for the Kingdom God will have, ready for each person. We ask in the name of God, our Lord, now and forever. May we belong to Jesus, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our God. We thank God for the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Mother, all the angels, and all the saints. In particular, we thank the Eucharistic Jesus for motivating us, visiting us, so we may continue faithfully doing what You want and what You allow us to do. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our God. Amen. Amen. Amen.
May God accept and listen to our prayers, forgive our weaknesses and shortcomings in our duties and responsibilities, and give us more strength and courage to continue to testify to the truth with what we see and hear through the Eucharistic Jesus and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. Mother gave us the gift to be practiced on every level, in each role, to pay homage to the Eucharistic Jesus and strengthen our faith, for which the Eucharistic Jesus has for us and the human world. We profess the Lord with reverence, adoration, thanksgiving, gratitude, and penance. Lucia and all brothers and sisters conclude at 4:47 p.m., Wednesday, January 11, 2023, in front of the sanctuary of the Holy Rosary Church. Amen. Amen. Amen.
The Six Kowtows on the Solemnity of the Ascension – May 16, 2021
This is a message inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Lucia:
O God, it is 1:07. Sunday, May 16, 2021, at St. Theresa church. We are kneeling in front of the sanctuary, the tabernacle, the Cross, the icon of the Divine Mercy, and the holy statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Today is the official day the Church reminds us is the Solemnity of the Ascension. This morning we also heard the First Reading, the Second Reading as well as the Gospel. The holy Apostles were with Jesus at a certain place then He was slowly taken up on a cloud. This was an experience to recall that the Lord’s work of salvation was completed, and the holy Apostles witnessed the day when He returned to heaven. May we truly experience in our daily lives that God is always with us. When we sin, we know that we certainly distance ourselves from God. When we part, we mourn over the separation between man and man. When our souls sin, we may never meet God again. If we remain in sin, we will no longer have the opportunity to meet or we no longer have hope, if we do not repent.
O God, may we always meditate with all the words You teach us, which are the words to guide us through this life and are also the map to help us progress each day in the life of faith. Only with a lively life of faith can we meet You. A life of faith gives us hope, teaches us many things through God’s doctrine. Now, let us be together in unity to lift up the offering on this Sunday to worship God. Together in unity, let us never forget the gift Mother gave to the world and to us, who are the pioneers. Let us continue to live the days of being called, to be worthy of what God grants. God, please help us overcome the weak, sinful, and wretched flesh. God hates sin, but God never hates sinners, so let us truly rise. Let that not keep happening over and over in our lives for us to be disadvantaged and suffer.
First of all, we thank God, because of our unintentional or deliberate actions, for us to realize that no matter what the circumstances, we should not hurt others’ feelings. Still there are certain things that when we are in a collective life, we must express our feelings. Let us not be ashamed in our hearts, because we cannot lie to others and especially to God, we cannot. Let us recognize our hot tempers, ask God to change our lives for us to live each day more considerately, more throughtfully, and know how to please God and our brothers and sisters. At this moment, let us bow and prostrate on behalf of all classes and all roles, to offer thankgivings, blessings, praises. Today, Jesus ascended to heaven, please remember us. May this parting be not just an outward display of sadness, but an encounter, a promise in the remaining days, for us to soon return to be worthy to enter the place that Jesus will open the door waiting for each one of us. Now together in unity, we lift up the First Kowtow to God the Father.
The First Kowtow, we reverently offer to God the Father.
O God the Father, I adore You, I thank You, I bless and praise You. Thank You Father, for all the blessings poured out on us. No matter how sinful, no matter how wretched, unintentionally or deliberately, You still love us boundlessly. We have no other place to turn to apart from Your love. In the last days Jesus often asked us to stay in His love, because only that love gives us more zest for life, more hope. Even if people betray us, look at us with disdain, look at us with contempt, reject us, or judge us, only You understand the plight of each one of us. O Father, we want many things but we cannot do much. There is nothing like sincerity to tell Father all about our daily lives. We live in a world where we feel truly lonely and afraid.
Faith today is indeed compromised. Without a fulcrum from Father who grants to us, we do not know where is truth, where is falsehood, where is evil, where is righteousness. The world is heading for war with days of death, of plague. The place where we live is also not secure, the world is entering days that are truly corrupt in terms of the society, in terms of the truth. The normal life is insecure, unstable, threatened by war, not knowing when what will happen. The pandemic has begun to spread. When we think about this, spiritually and physically, we are simply a small grain of sand among countless other grains of sand, but Father loves us immeasurably.
O Father, please forgive us. Father, please forgive the people who still do not know, for them to know; the people who still have not returned, for them to return to You. We only know that in this moment, as the parishioners, as the holy sheep of God, we need to look at what is most necessary, most urgent, and deny ourselves, to pray, to do penance, to sacrifice, to contribute what we can in unity. We ask God to bless our Church, the holy Church, the apostolic Church, the true, sincere, faithful Church of God, to not be divided, to not be schismatic, to not allow wounds by the traitors that brought shame and pain to our Church. The wounds of Jesus are bleeding because of the chosen, but God, please look at the virtuous and holy people. In their whole lives they sacrifice, they always trust and always serve as God calls. Please look at those pastors, those good shepherds are a shining example to us. Father, please help them, protect them in a special way for their voices to be an influence and a source of comfort to laypeople like us.
I also lift up to God the United States of America. Each day there are many news that make us feel very sad and disappointed, but through this disappointment everyone knows what is we must trust and rely on, which is God. May everyone recognize the truth, with the deceit, with the wealth and power, with the suits, with the beautiful words, but nothing is true. It is just an illusion, a vagueness, a transience. May God allow us to convene, surrender, prostrate ourselves to worship God, and return to God. May God forgive us. May God sanctify the heart of each person in stubbornness, in obstinacy, to return to Him. At this time, I also lift up to God the East China Sea, the country of Vietnam, the country of China, all the countries that are preparing with the scientific weapons ready to be fired. Trouble is starting in the East China Sea, which will certainly affect the mainland and the citizens later and each of the neighboring countries. O God, there will be mourning, suffering, death.
Do we know to pray? Do we know to run to God? Though we are not involved or live far away, but before the sight of a life between man and man who are the people living in the same world and are fellow beings, if we do not pray, then who will? If we do not lift up to God, then who will? May everyone unite to pray and give up iniquity and wickedness, to return to God, by sacrifice, with earnest words we reverently lift up to Him, to beseech Him to intervene, to beseech Him to decide for our world, to end war, to end the pandemic, to end evil in the world. May God destroy the evil spirits that poison our world with the terrible snares that corrupted the young people and caused them to fall. Among them are people we know: brothers, relatives, great-grandchildren, children.
May God have mercy on today’s young people, to help them get out of the clever trap of science and its machinery, to return to righteousness, to prepare for their souls, because one day not far all things will come to an end. That day is the coming purification. May everyone have ears to hear, eyes to see, hearts to feel, and be prepared by the repentance and the return to the only Lord God whom we worship, love, revere, adore. We ask for forgiveness. May we belong to God the Father. Father, please accept our prayers.
The Second Kowtow, we reverently offer to Jesus.
O Jesus, our Savior, I thank You. Thank You for being the fulcrum of our earthly life, with a doctrine to lead us out of crisis and fear. Thank You. You are the Supreme Being who sacrifices, still waits for us, grants us love, forever is love, and waits for sinners like us to return.
O Jesus, I thank You, because You died for me, died for the world, died for everyone in the world for us to live and exist til this day. May everyone recognize this and return to God. Do not let it be too late and too tardy. We were too late, the world is going into turmoil, the world is separated from God, the world is living in disobedience, the world is arrogant, offending God, challenging God. God loves us so much. God died for us. God accomplished His work and returned to heaven. Today, this reminds us that even though it has been over 2,000 years, but the love of our Savior, of our Redeemer, of our God, of our eternal Lord Savior, is once again alive in every Mass.
Only His love, His doctrine, help people find truth, security, peace, happiness, and avoid sin, lessen sin, eliminate sin. We have truly plunged into sin like moths so we no longer know what is right and what is wrong. Life continues to be depressing in the midst of the plague of both soul and body. May all classes and roles rise up again and treasure the drop of blood that Jesus exchanged to redeem us. The excruciating suffering of the Cross lifts our souls and brings our souls back to God. Let us not lose what is the best that God grants to us, due to pettiness, wretchedness, and weakness.
O God, please have mercy on us, forgive us for things that happened and are happening in general to this world as well as to the collective, to the community, to the individual. It is due to the desire to win ego, the unrighteous ego, the disobedient ego; and due to greed, selfishness, lust, deceit, breaking promises, always nourish sin, foster sin, and with sin.
O Lord Jesus Christ, because of those points, You suffered greatly. You did not wear the aureole, but You wore a crown of thorns to replace the evil thoughts of mankind. That heavy Cross was a thousand times more sufferings, You no longer have the strength, but still carried that Cross to save humanity. The wounds, the sufferings, we should have endured, but You endured for us. The blood was all shed. The nails were nailed to the Cross like a bond to redeem the sins of mankind, with the extreme suffering and humiliation caused by sinners. Today, the wounds have not yet healed, people have not yet awakened. After more than 2,000 years, there is still war, envy, jealousy, still causing pain to each other.
When will we wake up? When will we mature, even for the most insignificant matters? So at this point, we must accept the consequences of what we choose, accept the consequences for rejecting God, for challenging God. Only one thing, we are the little people, we are the victims, we are the sinners. Thanks to Jesus’ rescue for us today to have a little voice in life with the wretched condition of those who are the little people, to lift up to Jesus.
O Jesus, we believe in You. O Jesus, we know You and we love You. We listen to You and we practice what You teach. Though to us it is too late, but this is the only hope for humanity, all classes, all roles. We beseech God, ask God to sanctify, ask God to transform. God, please transform the heart of our world, with the indifference, the stubbornness, the stiffed neck, the hardened heart, the unfeeling heart that does not know to love, to feel, and is not moved. That is the reason for this world to be chaotic like today, but O God, there is a number of people, though few, who believe in You. We trust in You and we beseech You. We lift up to You iniquities, wickednesses, and weaknesses.
God, please forgive us and allow us to return to You, because at this moment only You are our hope, only You deliver us, only You restore the world, the atomic bombs in the days of war, the days of dispute, the days of death, suffering, sickness, and hunger. O God, please forgive us. God, please accept our prayers. We ask in the name of the Lord, the God of love. May God’s holy will be done soon in the world to save us from sin and death. God came and saved us, but we refused, so today we must live with the sufferings. We see there is no more peace, no more faith, no more doctrine and truth.
O Jesus, please forgive us. Today, You return to heaven after Your accomplishment, but we remain with the wounds of our hearts, with the sins of the days of our foolishness and so much more. May God have mercy and forgive. May God allow us to see the maturity of the great work of salvation. Today, after Your accomplishment, You return to heaven, but You are still present, spiritually, in the heart of every human being, and give us life and hope. God, please forgive us. We lift up all our sorrows and difficulties, we ask God to accept our prayers and we ask God to have mercy. May God’s holy will be done in this world, for everyone to be secure, to long for peace, for truth, for us to recognize God, love God, apologize to God, be forgiven by God, be immersed in His infinite Divine Mercy, and to amend our lives. We ask in the name of the Lord, our God, now and for ever and ever. We belong to Jesus, the Second Person of God, whom we believe, we adore, and we honor. May we belong to God.
The Third Kowtow, we reverently lift up to the Holy Spirit.
O Holy Spirit, you are the love, the light, the grace. It is You who enlightened and guided us through this life. O Holy Spirit, You are our strength, You are the love, You are the path of truth. You are the true, holy, perfect Supreme Being who teaches us to understand unintentional or deliberate matters in life for us to be determined to return.
O Holy Spirit, You are the Supreme Being who enlightens us and guides us to live in the seven sources of grace. Many times, we forgot and we transgress with the seven sources of grace that You teach, so in our lives we end up lonely, lost, afraid, perplexed, and worried.
O Holy Spirit, You are love, always forgive, always patient, always dwell with mankind when we repent and return. May we trust in You to ask You to transform our hearts, for us to be righteous. God, please renew the face of the earth, renew all viewpoints in the world that are seeking wars and sufferings, to lead people into death and the plague of both soul and body.
O Holy Spirit, please grant the leaders in all nations the wisdom to know what to do to avoid wars and sufferings to the innocent victims. We pray for all the spiritual lives of the people who believe in God, the people who still do not know God, the people who never recognized God. May our Church continue to live in the example of God’s word, to testify to the Good News as Jesus desires and yearns. Jesus returned to heaven, but He said to His disciples: “Go and proclaim the Good News, I am with you always till the end of the age.”
Those words still resonate in the Church, they also echo in the heart of every Christian in today’s world. Let us be responsible, live so that others see us and believe in God. Let us live and remove everything that is the ego. Let us live worthy of the position in our role and ministry and even in the life of the laity with mission, for us to unite, to listen to the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, to return to holiness, to eliminate all schisms, separations, everything in a sophisticated civilized enticing world. Let us return with a heart and a sincere love between man and man, to respect, to revere, to love, and to adore God. May the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit be sharp in our lives, for us to find the truth, the righteous path that we lost, because we are proud and arrogant, we live according to our individuality, and we live according to the ego and personality.
Let us return. Let us return to God while time still allows. Let us embrace and seek to return to the Holy Spirit, for Him to enlighten and guide us. Jesus died for us to live to receive His infinite Divine Mercy, to receive the love of the Holy Spirit that will never be absent in our lives. Let us return to be worthy of what is granted. We have only one way, which is to return in a spirit of repentance, for us to live, to be forgiven, to deserve to be saved in this present day. We ask in the name of the Lord, the God of love. Now and for ever and ever, we belong to God.
The Fourth Kowtow, we reverently offer to the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
O Eucharistic Jesus, I thank You for allowing us to receive You into our hearts. At every Mass, we participate in the sacred banquet. We rejoice when we come to the banquet. We believe God the Father is present, with Jesus offering Mass through the vestments of the priests. In the presence of the priests, we have the Holy Spirit who made the ceremony so solemn. Sunday is a day to worship God. We believe Mother Mary is beside, testifying to the worship and honor towards the Five Holy Signs. God granted in the work of salvation, to guide the ordinary and commonplace people like us to come to Mother, and together with the saints, the angels, especially St. Joseph, the archangels, and the heavenly court, present in heaven at the sacred banquet every day. Sunday is a day to worship God, to surrender, to submit, to adore, and to honor.
O God, may we have a real sense of daily progress in our lives through each Mass, for us to lift our souls to You, for us to lift all our iniquity, wretchedness, weakness. We need to attend Mass daily to listen to God’s teaching, to live true to God’s word in our lives, to experience the love eternally granted to us. Though over 2,000 years, the sacred and divine Sacrament has become food for the soul, to guide the world, for people to surrender and return to God. Because only that love nourish us, and that is a foundation, a real family that we have in this world, in faith.
O Eucharistic Jesus, we have yet to mention about Your visitation, Your radiance, Your glory, and Your unconditional love for us. So in any situation, our world in faith is never helpless, never disappointed, never hopeless, but always have hope, always have joy, and always have the Supreme Lord who loves and waits. Please help us come to the Eucharistic Jesus, to receive God into our hearts in a worthy way, for our daily lives to rely on the insight in that love to lead us in the midst of life, to be strong and courageous to bear witness to the truth, to live in the truth, and to live in the doctrine imparted daily in our lives through the Good News.
O Eucharistic Jesus, we confess You. The sacredness and the spirituality is still among us, still with the world, still giving us the opportunity, with joy, with hope. Even with extreme suffering, even when the world changes, God’s love will never change. Those of us who seek to come to Him, believe in Him, have peace and calmness to move forward in life, accept the Way of the Cross, accept the thorny path that we must walk. God came to the world by the Way of the Cross, so when we encounter God and walk on the Way of the Cross, then we will understand the valuable meaning, to inflame and nourish our souls, for us to be worthy to return to God on the day we leave this life, in faithfulness and perseverance. We praise God, the Supreme Lord. May we return with a contrite heart, to be worthy to receive God into our hearts with reverence, with respect, with adoration, and with confession. We ask in the name of the Lord our God. May everyone know, believe, have a viewpoint in faith. With the reverence of both soul and body, let us learn the way to adore God, to honor God.
Through Mother’s teaching, through the Five Holy Signs, through the gift of the Six Kowtows, through the prostration, the submission to the Eucharistic Jesus, we will definitely grow in the life of faith, have a source of comfort, of joy, of happiness, in any situation, to lead us into the light, to push back the darkness in our lives, for us to become mature people, to confess God, to witness for God, worthy to be loved by God. God waits for us to be steadfast in all situations, to believe, to wait for His providence, His arrangement, and His intervention. When the light comes, the darkness will disappear. Believe and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. We ask in the name of the Lord, the God of love, the mighty God, the God rich in Divine Mercy. We adore, honor, and thank. May everyone surrender, submit, return to God. We belong to the Third Person of God, we belong to the Eucharistic Jesus. May we understand more and love God more, carry out what God grants and gives to us. May we belong to God.
The Fifth Kowtow, we reverently offer to the Five Holy Signs of Jesus Christ.
O Five Holy Signs, the Five Holy Signs of love, of grace, of the Divine Mercy, of the renewal, of the Resurrection, of the waiting for people to return in hope. The Five Holy Signs will transform mankind with the view in faith, and the Five Holy Signs will exchange for us with a seal in forgiveness. Who has the authority to give? Who has the authority to grant? Who has the authority to risk one’s life to die for mankind to live? Who loves us like the One who sacrificed His life, to die for our human race to live? Sinners like us do not deserve to live and exist.
O Jesus of the Five Holy Signs, as we enter the meditation, we feel boundless. The book will not be able to write it all, but the soul and the heart will express the mysterious love and the sublime greatness of the Supreme Lord through the Five Holy Signs, lively and deep in the heart, to remind that Jesus did everything for our human race. Today, everything was accomplished and He returned to heaven. The Solemnity of the Ascension reminds us that Jesus ascended to Heaven to prepare a place for the children He loves most, for our Church, for His holy flock. If we rely on what God does, live according to His word, then in this life no one can cause us to be shaken, because we are His messenger, His priest, royalty, which means to be the children of kings. We are the children that Jesus exchanged at the price of Blood. It is thanks to the Blood price of the Lord Jesus that cleansed the sins of the world for us to belong to God through Jesus, to call God the Father Abba. All these things need to be kept in our hearts for us to remember our present positions.
Do not belittle ourselves, do not despise all things. When we live in iniquity, our eyes are dimmed and our lives are surrounded by iniquity, so we do not understand our self-importance granted by God. The Blood price of Jesus granted us life. Today, let us kneel and prostrate ourselves before the Five Holy Signs, then we will understand more deeply the infinite and everlasting Divine Mercy that God the Father bestows to mankind, and that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior, immutable, never changes. For He came and accomplished the mission to save us. He returned to heaven. He prepared for us the chairs at the heavenly banquet table. That is definitely a certainty. What we most need to know is whether we are ready and worthy to enter the place that Jesus is preparing? Jesus knew that we were too weak, so He reminded over and again at the Last Supper, as He told the Apostles, “Wait for the Father to send you the Holy Spirit.”
It is the Father’s love with Jesus, to become the Holy Spirit that dwells with us every day until today. All knowledge come from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will teach us the great mystery of the Father, the Son and Redeemer. He teaches us to live in the midst of life, teaches us the doctrine and the truth, teaches us to know the life of the light and the darkness that is being destroyed, teaches us wisdom to handle all problems. He teaches us and grants us more strength to step out of the snares of sin that mankind always stumbles upon from the very beginning. He teaches us to know the proof of the salvation that the Lord Jesus brought and the doctrine that is realized in our lives.
O God, it is truly a great marvel. We are nourished by the food for the soul, from Your Body and Blood, through Your Eucharist. We are taught to worship by the example of Mother Mary, a Mother who prayed silently, a Mother who lived an entire life belonging to God, a Mother who was a shining example through the virtue of obedience, who achieved all the holy will of God, a humble Mother who teaches us to pray and live with the inner life. All these good things are arranged through the Five Holy Signs, to remind people of the desire that God wants mankind to know, so that when we look at the Five Holy Signs, we see the proof of the Savior. We cannot err from this belief, we cannot act beyond the viewpoint that caused us to stumble. We worship the gods, we err from the way of the Lord, and we grieve Mother’s Heart.
Mother’s tears well up. Her blood tears still flow, because we stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the Lord Jesus was our Lord, and how much Her Son sacrificed for us to have the Five Holy Signs. The Five Holy Signs are certainly important, imprinted deep in our souls to save us. We must rise from our iniquities and weaknesses. Whatever the circumstances, our only hope is the seal that Jesus imprinted on our souls, to forgive us. Let us be of one accord and unite, never give up, return. Let us be victorious in eliminating the snares of the devil that wants to separate us to make us lose the opportunity to belong to the God of love. He saved us by His excruciating death. The Holy Spirit will never lose when we accept to cooperate with Him. He will help us win, have the strength to return in the prostration and the submission, in a spirit of repentance, in reformation, to glorify and honor the Five Holy Signs with each of our heavenly family.
The teaching in the present life is for us to confess, to return, for God to be the Supreme Being who intervenes to help us get out of the encirclement of snare and death, for us to return to the light. The Lord God alone has the authority to forgive, and rich in Divine Mercy, He accepts and sanctifies us. May everyone unite to ask God to renew the face of the earth. Return in time while the world still has the opportunity. Please do not let it be too late and too tardy. Please save us from the plague of both soul and body. Today, the world is seriously heading into terrible days, preparing for war, which is the third World War. We beseech and entreat for this to not happen, because the world will end up with days that are even worse, miserable, and painful. May God’s holy will be done with what God wants, because God conquered death and gloriously triumphed over the world. Only through the Five Holy Signs do we plead and beseech. God, please save us and grant us victory in the present, to bring back the peace and happiness God grants and gives to us in our return to Him, to glorify Him, to honor Him, to fear Him, to practice His doctrine. We belong to God.
The Fifth Holy Sign, we thank Mother for teaching us to understand this. Today’s weapons are science and technology, through the atomic bombs, the bullets, which are used against each other, but the weapon of our souls is the prayer, the beseeching, the plea, and the faith, for us to call upon God’s name. We know that God alone is the Savior, who has the authority to intervene and resolve everything as it brought about war and suffering. God will stop things when people come to beseech Him to intervene. There is nothing that God cannot do, because our God always draws a straight line over a crooked one. If we believe in God and turn to Him, He will save us in any situation, because the God of love, the God of the Divine Mercy, and our God is the Supreme Lord full of love. We adore God, praise God, glorify God, and honor God. Please accept our apology through the pleas. God, please forgive us. We represent all classes today, to ask for God to forgive us, for the world to return while time still allows. May we belong to the Five Holy Signs.
The Sixth Kowtow, we reverently offer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her triumph.
O God the Father, I thank You. Thank You for giving us a special day today to remember the Ascension. The work of the Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, was completed under the continuation and continuity of the Church to bring the Gospel, for faith to remain.
O Father, You know we are weak. You know it is not easy for us to practice and know the great mysteries You bestow through Jesus. Today, we must remember the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, which is also the salvation of humanity while we still have days with this hope.
O Father, You choose for us a Mother, today it is Mother Mary who teaches us to return to You in greatest urgency, because no one has the power to resolve all problems when everyone is ready for a terrible war to break out in all regions and countries. People do not believe in God because of a weak life of faith so they caused wars and sufferings. Many centuries passed yet these are still days of war that never end, but the Lord Jesus Christ came to bring peace to mankind. Today is the day over 2,000 years ago when He actually returned to the heavenly kingdom, which is also the day the mission was completed, but the presence remains with the Church, with the faith, with the doctrine that never changes. If we truly believe, practice, and learn, then the world will never have days of war like today. Unfortunately, regrettably, we have been disobedient, rebellious, unjust, and we lived in disobedience, against God’s teaching, so today the world ends up in war, and in suffering with the plague of both soul and body.
O God, how can it be restored? Yet Your love continues to remain with us every day until the end of the age as You once said to the Apostles. You also spoke through the doctrine and daily we hear You through the Gospel. Today, O God, no matter what the circumstances, whatever happens, though we are the little people, no one can prevent the prayer we lift up to You, no one can prevent our faith as we believe there truly is a Supreme Lord God who died for us, loves us, and waits for us. That infinite Divine Mercy continues to give us the opportunity. Today what is it that allows us to have this opportunity? What is to be done to be heard by God? What can we say to be answered by God? Surely there is someone who is worthy. That is Mother Mary.
O God, may we offer to Mother the Sixth Kowtow. We certainly do not understand what we are doing, but every action has the guidance and teaching of the Holy Spirit. We only practice and pray with the methods of prayer that Mother Mary has taught us for the past six years. What we lift up today is like a voice on behalf of the world, a lively offering in great need to remind people to surrender, to submit, to return to the Lord of love, of victory, of the Divine Mercy, waiting for mankind’s awakening and maturity in faith.
O Mother Mary, a thousand words cannot say all things Mother teaches and helps us to have this day. Today in these very moments, the Holy Spirit continues to teach us to offer the Sixth Kowtow to Mother’s Immaculate Heart and for Her triumph.
O Mother Mary, Mother of love, Mother of the Divine Mercy, Mother of every human heart, Mother of the Church, Mother of the Savior, Mother of the Risen Lord, Mother of every sinner, every saint, every prisoner, every victim, every patient, every witness, every soul in purgatory. Mother of the Church, Mother of priests and religious, Mother of every soul in purgatory, Mother of every Apostle in every part of the world, Mother of every person affected by the plague of soul and body. Today, we know for sure that only You are the person who help us come to God. Mother is the Mediatrix who brings us to Jesus, and Jesus is the only Mediator to bring us back to God the Father, to meet and receive the Holy Spirit, which is an extremely wonderful blessing in today’s world. Every time we pray, it is not from us knowing this by ourselves, but it is from the prompting and the teaching of the Holy Spirit for us to speak and lift up on behalf of all classes, all roles, in this century of mankind in turmoil.
It is thanks to Mother’s love and intercession for God to forgive and accept our prayers and intercede for us in today’s turbulent world. We truly want to return, but from the government to the society to the country, in all situations, in all places, the days are no longer days of stability, but are replaced by days of turmoil, days of plague, days of trouble, and anti-God doctrines. There are no longer peaceful days. Instead, is instability, insecurity, and many matters to ponder. If people truly do not recognize the doctrine of God, then we are truly lost in the midst of this life, because there is so much influence from people who have positions of power, in the leadership ranks. In a world that depends on the relationship in a collective life, the only thing to set apart is that no one has the right to prevent the love God grants to us, grants to sinners, because He saved us. No one can prevent our love seeking to come to Him.
In the most painful and desperate moments, the most difficult dilemmas, when we are most lonely, we come to God by the prayers that Mother Mary taught us, to beseech God through each Person. This is the time when our human race greatly need the prayer, need the return by a repentant heart, by a true reformation, by penance. We pray to compensate for the times we were indifferent, unfeeling, with the past days in life, because Mother advises, but we certainly did not do or has not yet done, so the world ended up with the standstill, war, suffering, and plague. Today, we know that one person always waits for us, helps us. Mother’s intercession is so valuable for God to save humanity and for God to intervene for us in this generation, for sinners, for penitents, for the little people, and for the victims who beseech God.
Through the teachings of Mother, we see the value of happiness when we are aware and are awakened, because today’s weapon is not the weapon that people use to fight to kill each other. It is a weapon of perseverance and faithfulness, which is prayer, conversion, repentance, which is the key point for God to have mercy and intervene. Only God can solve the situation of today’s world frenzy in sin and death. Only God can save the simple and humble souls. Only God can save the people who believe. Only God can save those who are humble and know how to repent. Only God loves sinners who return and beseech God through a life of amendment. Thus, there is only one Supreme Lord God. It is through Mother’s intercession and teaching, for God to accept, to have mercy, to forgive, to help us prepare for the day when we must face the purification between good and evil, between right and wrong, between truth and falsehood. It is the day we definitely must know, which is the day when the sheep and the goats will be clearly separated. The sheep have their shepherd, and the goats must go to a place that belongs to them.
God is a very benevolent God. Mankind is so wicked, but God is very kind and very just. Thus, we must wait for this day by prayer. Through the intercession of our Mother, we can reduce the chastisement for what we committed, to ask God to forgive and have mercy on humanity, to help us in the plague of both soul and body with the control of the devil in this day and age. We cannot deny this, because we have lost what is fundamental that God granted to us, from the Church to the society, all problems are in a fierce battle between good and evil, and the victory of evil dominates us. Let us not be afraid of evil, let us together in unity embrace the weapon we are so familiar with, a very sharp weapon that will receive tremendous help and support. But it requires the return of mankind by faith and repentance, by earnest prayers from the heart, by tears, with feeling, with emotion, with a true repentance, to believe, to return to the God of love.
Today, what Mother teaches is not too difficult but not too easy. Let us conquer our hearts, continue to be faithful and persevere, remove all ego and personality, live to confess, return to the God of Love and the Divine Mercy. This is the the last opportunity, grab, and accept this gift of the Six Kowtows. Let us not be afraid. Let us not become a habit, but become improved, repentant. Let us accept the riches that God bestows through Mother Mary. Let us all prosprate, adore, confess God. Let us improve and pray by a penance that each one of us needs today, to confess God and follow what God teaches, for us to win the remaining battle of an evil world that is dominating us. Let us not be foolish as in the old days. Let us return while time still allows. Everyone must honor God and present to God an offering, even if it is unworthy and inadequate, but we only have this flawed offering to ask for God’s mercy. May our hearts and souls truly repent, to ask God to restore and intervene for our world that is at war, in the midst of a pandemic. There is still so much suffering and sorrow caused by sin in our foolishness, pride, and arrogance. Let us removed individual rights, turn to holiness, and return to the God of love and Divine Mercy.
O Mother Mary, I thank You for giving us the opportunity to come to St. Joseph. We thank his example and intercession, for each of our families to practice living with faith, learning from his sense of responsibility, learning from his integrity and righteousness. We pray especially for our Church to walk on the path of chastity that he practiced, in a life of obedience. God bestowed to our Church in unity, to care for the holy family that Jesus entrusted to our Church, through the example of St. Joseph, and through his intercession.
We also ask Mother to help us come to the three archangels. We thank the intercession of the three archangels, the intervention of the three archangels. Especially in this day and age, the devil has taken over and we have fallen into his snares. So we thank the help of the three archangels, of the guardian angels, praying for us, protecting us. We thank the shining example of the saints, for us to walk and move forward in our lives, returning to God with confession, with prayer, with fervent adoration, with love, with a life of conviction, for us to honor God, glorify God, by prayer, with the penance of the soul, with the repentance and contrition, for God to forgive and for heaven to help.
There is nothing more to do, we must beseech heaven in this troubled time. Definitely, there will be help. Heaven will not refuse our pleas. In cooperation and unity, let us deny ourselves for us to pray and confess. God will definitely intervene for the remaining world. There is nothing worthy in a human condition, only the offering of the soul, body, mind, and heart, to belong to God, the merciful Almighty, who forgives, heals, and sanctifies our world. We ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our God, now and for ever and ever.
Lucia and all the brothers and sisters conclude at 1:56, on Sunday May 16, 2021, at St. Theresa church, in front of the sanctuary, the tabernacle, the icon of the Divine Mercy, and the holy statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. With today’s offering, on Sunday, as we lift up to Jesus, on the Solemnity of the Ascension, may God accept our little offering and remember us, deliver us, save us, in the state of a tense society, with many wars looming, and many problems. God, please save us in a world with days depleted during this pandemic. May God have mercy and accept our prayers. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Message on February 24, 2020
It Was Time for Heaven to Take Action
This message inspired by the Holy Spirit through the messenger when practicing The Six Kowtows.
Lucia:
O God, it is 11:33 a.m. – we are kneeling in front of the altar, the tabernacle, the Cross, the icon of the Divine Mercy, the holy statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
Today is Monday, it has been nearly a month since we came back and we recalled all that God has done on the trip.
Before the trip, we had many reflections and ponderings, but we were called to go and we did – then we came back and rejoiced with the success that God made possible during our 10-day trip to the Philippines.
There were many events that happened along the way, but in the end God is the Supreme Being who always protects, guards, and brings us home safe and sound.
When we got home, we heard extremely frightening news that we were completely unaware of during the trip.
It was the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic.
Indeed, we thought that was simply an ordinary epidemic like many others.
On the trip back to the United States, we actually had close contact with many people during the plane changes.
There were many things we were unaware of at the beginning of the epidemic, but we came home safely.
The days on the trip were truly tiring.
Over the course of a month, we overcame everything that happened since we came back.
We remain steadfast in the word of God, and when we receive the messages, they are more important, more valuable, more in-depth, through the gift of The Six Kowtows.
Our mission is to bring The Six Kowtows to the world.
In the Philippines, we handed the books of The Six Kowtows to the priests, to the bishop, and to the Cardinal, which is something we never thought could happen.
There have been wonderful stories that happened on the coast of Cebu, where nearly three million people attended a major celebration this year in the Philippines, at a basilica that we visited for the first time.
It was the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu.
In the days of this major celebration we went to other churches and witnessed the strong and great faith of the Filipinos.
They have lived in faith.
Though life had hardships and ordeals in all classes, we saw their steadfast and faithful heart, their depth, their zeal.
We felt how God’s grace has been poured down to save the souls who perished at sea long ago, and how God delivered them with the light of the Divine Mercy through the sacraments He allowed.
Moreover, God also let us see what is happening, which was also a preparation for the Philippines, a country in which 80% of the population believes in God.
That is not a small number in the world today.
Certainly God has preserved and protected them, but in every age there are people who rebel with change and betrayal.
People have the freedom in their wisdom to achieve things from what was granted from above, but justice is essential with what cannot be specified in mankind, in righteousness, truth, and integrity.
The world continues to act in wickedness, from the power that one gains, but ultimately the end and the conclusion depend on God who is the Sovereign.
If God does not allow then mankind cannot do anything.
When wickedness affects the law of justice, God will never look away.
God is the Sovereign.
God is also the Supreme Being who gives us the opportunity to recognize Him, especially in this century, a century in which mankind is free to choose, but righteousness and justice are still the sole and unique doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Today people continue to fight for their rights, people continue to indulge with all that is in human wisdom, but today’s Readings say that human wisdom according to heaven is something we need to think for ourselves – God grants us the wisdom of heaven that is gentleness, peace, a humble life, with harmony, respect, and love.
God has given us so many opportunities to know what is to come, and God has also granted the Divine Mercy to help us on the path of amendment.
God uses all aspects to help the return of mankind, but we choose for ourselves.
We continue to hate each other, fight with each other, have battles of wits, compete for power, and want to dominate the entire world using deceitful and malicious ways, which are being uncovered.
This is a horrifying policy with a plot and many grave offenses to God.
Indeed, this policy is not recent, but has been practiced for a long time through the ages.
God is still the merciful Supreme Being.
God sees and knows about those oppositions, betrayals, and rebellions, but God always gives people time and opportunity.
God always gives people the opportunity to continue, to receive things in truth and in justice, because the price of the Blood of the Lord Jesus, His Son, has an infinite value.
Unfortunately, mankind has fully chosen the path of wisdom based on what is in real life, which is controlled by the devil, due to ambition, aspiration, and things we heard this morning in the First Reading.
Certain people have completely acted against the doctrine for the sake of their positions, to manipulate everything from their power.
We respectfully offer the First Kowtow to God the Father.
God our Father – We worship Father.
With everything the Holy Spirit has taught us to lift up to Father, our duty is to continue to pray for ourselves, for the areas where we are active, for our families, for the places we visit, for all places in the world.
They are the people who knew too late, so this is the time when we pray for God to have mercy on them and to grant to them.
Whether they still have the opportunity or no longer have the opportunity, they are the victims, the innocents, the penitents on the path of repentance in the last hours of their life.
May God have mercy on them and grant them a place of light, with the love and the Divine Mercy that God has granted to mankind when they are in the last hours of their life.
Many events are happening to remind people when they still have the opportunity in their life to choose and return to God.
We thank God, praise God, glorify God, and honor God.
May the Holy Name of God be known and recognized in the entire world, in the prostration and the surrender.
May everyone listen to God and return to God.
May His love forever be upon His children as they repent, and may all those who are affected by the epidemic have hope.
For those who have gone over to the other side of the world, God is the benevolent and just Supreme Being.
May God destroy all the evil that the innocents and the victims are falling into, with the nations and the leaders who in the wicked ways of atheistic communism have oppressed and brought death and grievous injuries to innocent citizens all over the world.
The time has come for all evil to be annihilated.
Justice and righteousness will come to a world that God has arranged for all the children to receive.
These are the moments for us to see the battle between good and evil.
May everyone’s eyes be opened.
May we return to our positions, repent and return to the Supreme Lord who has been with us for so long.
We have become habit, we have totally failed to recognize the important value, but today the epidemic has come – we cannot refuse this gift.
God the Father, please hear us.
Even though it might be late, we still plead persistently.
Only the Supreme Lord can change the situation. Only the Supreme Lord can intervene.
The Supreme Being who forgives is God alone.
He is the Supreme Being whom we trust, whom we worship, praise, and honor.
We apologize to the Supreme Being full of Divine Mercy, the Creator of heaven and earth, the just and righteous Supreme Being.
Please save us in the days of gloom and tension, the days of tragedy and pain, with the plague of both soul and body.
May God’s holy will be done, for those who rely on Him, believe in Him, to live and to return in time.
Let it not be too late and too tardy.
Amen.
We respectfully offer the Second Kowtow to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus our Savior died for our sins.
He came into this world with the purpose of saving us from sin and death, but mankind is still stubborn and hardened, still living in days of walking in sin, being with sin, nourishing sin.
Today, from our sins, we have borne the intense suffering of the plague of the body.
Moreover, the plague of the soul is everywhere – all over the world.
This is a wake-up call for mankind to realize that our Savior continues to shed Blood to cleanse mankind.
He does not want to return empty-handed so He seeks every means to save mankind.
May God’s holy will be done, with what belongs to God to save us in this world.
If there were no events, if there were no such days for us to recognize the consequences of our sins, we would still be stubborn, hardheaded, hardened, and ignorant.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, is the Supreme Being in whom we have absolute trust, the Supreme Being to whom we surrender and submit, the Supreme Being whom we praise and glorify, the Supreme Being whom we apologize to.
We surrender and submit to God, soul and body, to ask forgiveness for our sins.
Let us return to the doctrine that God has granted for us to become righteous.
All the teachings are like the light that illuminates the conscience of mankind.
Whoever walks in evil – then evil will rule over him and lead him into extreme death, suffering, and groaning.
As for those who walk in righteousness, they do not fear.
Even if death comes to them, they still live in hope through the Divine Mercy and the light that God has offered through the salvation to every sinner like us in this world.
May God have mercy on the people who do not know and those who still do not know, and the people who do not believe and those who still do not believe.
May they understand that this is the time for them to open their hearts.
May they accept in the last moments of their life, to call upon the Name of the Lord through each Person and receive the gift that Mother Mary offers.
We pray on their behalf as well as for the souls.
We pray for them so that they may return to the light of God and, in turn, they will also help those who are in their last moments.
May God have mercy and help them repent.
In that final hour, they will know who God is, they will know who Mr. Creator (3) is, and they will know the merciful Supreme Being.
May God have mercy on those who are infected and who live in those countries where they are suppressed, controlled, and have died unexpectedly.
They are the innocent victims.
God, please forgive their past, because they are people who did not know about God, so they lived in selfishness from the formation of their country.
May God have mercy on all those who are wicked people, who must repent. May God judge according to the law of justice.
As for the innocents, the victims, may God save them so that they may return with the boundless Divine Mercy that God grants to the victims, to the innocents, to the sinners who repent and return to God.
Regardless of anyone, all classes, all roles only need compassion, a repentant heart, a heart that still has a conscience – then that is hope and the light that God has given to those who recognize and return to Him through gentle Mother Mary.
Mother Mary has known and led us back to belong to God, to be with God.
God, please have mercy, intervene, and help them.
We thank God, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Being whom we trust and honor.
We thank God on behalf of the people who still do not know and believe, for them to have the opportunity to return to God while not being too late and too tardy.
Amen.
We respectfully offer the Third Kowtow to God the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the love, the light, the truth.
Perhaps the stories, the narrative, are not easy for people to believe and understand, but God, our Lord, gives us everything that is appropriate and suitable.
Mankind just needs to have a heart to truly meditate on what it has and what is happening – then the Holy Spirit will enlighten them.
God only wants to help them, save them.
God just wants to teach them the path to return.
God loves them despite their sins.
God is full of love and has given us the Holy Spirit, who is the love of God, the presence of Jesus, to help us on the path of reformation.
May God bring everyone together in unity.
May the fire of the Holy Spirit be once again kindled in each of our souls, especially in this century, for us to turn back to the only direction, in reformation.
In everything, may we become righteous people, return with faith for us to live in the way through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for us to not be selfish, to not be petty, to follow what we heard in today’s First Reading: let us not use the wisdom of the world, use all means to quarrel, argue, refuse, and many things in life.
Mankind has lived and is living in greed, in ambition, in lust, with so many other problems in life, in all classes, in all roles.
May the Holy Spirit help us remove everything that we rely on – in wisdom, in pride – and live in a righteous, gentle, humble manner, for us to have the presence of God, His blessing, and His guidance, in serenity, in peace, in happiness, with the meaning that God gives to every person, every class, every role, every nation, and every person in the rank of leaders.
May the ranks of leaders live in righteousness, receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, for them to help their home country, their homeland, their native land not to fall into a situation that today they must face with conscience and heart.
That is a struggle in the truth, which is needed in life.
The examples of the leaders and the righteous people will help many of their own citizens to know God, to recognize God, to live in the peace, the protection, and the shield of justice that God grants to those who belong to Him.
We worship God, praise God, and glorify God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and ever. Amen.
We respectfully offer the
Fourth Kowtow to the most precious Body and Blood of Christ.
O Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, You were present this morning and You also came to us through the Blessed Sacrament when we prostrated.
In unity we received the Holy Spirit’s guidance for us to report in-depth about The Six Kowtows, the gift to save mankind in these most urgent times, and also to remind everyone to be prepared for the plagues all over the world.
These are the works that mankind cannot do by itself, because that vivid liveliness is the manifestation of the glory of God.
In unity, we represent all classes, all roles, to thank, praise, and glorify the benevolent Supreme Being who still silently supports us and helps our life of faith by our determination to return, and by the protection that God has given us in a special way.
Through the Blessed Sacrament, the Supreme Being has given us a great treasure and has granted to each person in the life of faith, in the life with belief, when we seek to come to Him.
Even in sick and ailing days, even in days of hardship and suffering in the midst of life, the Blessed Sacrament is like a place of rest, peace, and happiness, a place where God grants to those who always rely on Him.
His presence is very close, and in the days we come to Him, our life will be transformed.
Each day, we will see the meaning of peace and happiness, resting by His Heart.
God is the Supreme Being who loves us, the Supreme Being who stays with us, with a covenant to never leave us.
May we lift this up to tell the world today that, though many events happen, with the epidemic raging and threatening every class all over the world, we still have the Eucharistic Jesus, we have the Supreme Being who promises to stay with us until the end of the age.
Beside us is Mother Mary.
May everyone open their hearts to come to the Eucharistic Jesus to worship the Supreme Being who is still present, to call on the Name of God at this moment.
There is no other place for us to rely on apart from the Eucharistic Jesus, no other place for us to rely on apart from Mass.
God has granted us a covenant – to remain with us forever and ever.
May each one of us come to Him, lift up to Him, ask Him to help us and save us in this moment, and save our brethren who are victims and innocents.
May sinners be saved, for them to repent and help us in life to profess God, believe in God, return to God, and encounter God through the Blessed Sacrament.
We only know to lift up to God through the narrative that the Holy Spirit allows, for us to carry out what God wants.
We testify in this world, to strengthen the life of faith for all classes, all roles.
The lively Supreme Being, the benevolent Supreme Being, is still waiting to help us and give us hope with the days of the ending, as we begin the days of the purification.
We worship God, praise God, and glorify God. We thank the Eucharistic Jesus. Amen.
We respectfully offer the Fifth Kowtow to the Five Holy Wounds of Jesus.
The Five Holy Signs of our Lord Jesus Christ are clearly granted to each person, each sheep of God.
The presence of God is a testimony of love.
God has saved us from sin and death, and brought us from the darkness back to the light.
His glorious resurrection allowed us to live and exist till this day.
God gives us the right to choose the path in the days we are still alive so that we may choose the holy path, reject the evil path, follow the doctrine, become witnesses to the brothers and also to those who still do not know and still do not believe.
The Five Holy Signs are a testimony of the love with the Divine Mercy that God the Father, The First Holy Sign, has granted to humanity.
The Second Holy Sign, is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior in whom we believe for us to live and to have eternal life.
We believe for us to live with God’s doctrine, for us to continue to exist, to be protected, and to live in the truth.
The Third Holy Sign – we cannot comprehend the great mystery that God has given us through the love of God the Father and the Lord Jesus united to become the Holy Spirit.
Thanks to the Holy Spirit we understand everything we have in a life of knowing God and being a child of God.
Thanks to the Holy Spirit we understand that our Church still exists.
Thanks to the Holy Spirit we know every role, every function, to carry out what God has chosen and granted us in this world.
God chooses and teaches the clergy, the shepherds the doctrine for them to belong to God.
God also teaches the laypeople to unite to belong to one Church, to be protected and safeguarded, to have the presence and the blessing of God, to receive the great sacraments that only our religion, Catholicism, has; only the Lord Jesus Christ bestows and grants us His Sacraments.
That is the Blessed Sacrament to nourish our soul and body, to remind us of His death, through the institution of the Sacrament, which has become a seal and a covenant through the price of His Blood, to remind us of the forgiveness of sins that God has granted to mankind.
The Fourth Holy Sign is the divine spirituality through the presence to help us clearly discern.
What is in the Five Holy Signs is precisely a book that testifies to the life of faith with the truth.
The Lord Jesus has done for us to delve deeply into the daily teaching of the Gospel, with a distinct evidence that no one can take away and no one can analyze according to the way of mankind.
All classes, all roles, turn toward the Five Holy Signs that are a testimony of love, which God has sealed in our soul through His Five Holy Signs.
By our side, who is the person who can accept this and who is the person who teaches us to understand what we need and have? Mother Mary Herself.
Mother Mary has accompanied God in His Passion.
Mother Mary is the person chosen to become the Mother of the Second Person of God, the Mother of humanity, the Mother of sinners, of every saint, of every victim.
All of us are Her children.
Mother knows the weaknesses that mankind cannot overcome, Mother understands the will of God to grant to us, and the will of God is still the person who protects us through the price of His Blood.
A great treasure remains in the midst of the world, but mankind does not know or does not yet know about it.
We also do not understand the value of the seal that God has imprinted in our soul through the Five Holy Signs, for us to be forgiven and saved, even in our last dying moments.
So this is the most suitable way for the whole world in today’s epidemic.
There are many people about to die, with the last dying moments, with the separations, with the quarantines, with the cries, the screams, the wails.
They do not know that Mother has prepared a gift for them, to silently accept.
God will be Supreme Being who gives them peace when they must leave this world.
Moreover, Mother has given them hope when they are living in a standstill and are being quarantined.
In this world, even when we are not caught up in the epidemic, our soul has been plagued with the disease.
Mother Mary is the person who has known everything that God has granted to Her, so She teaches us and leads us in the ending, with the days of purification.
Everything has been granted to the world, but we remain indifferent and refuse.
Mother has appeared to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco, what did Mother teach for us to learn to return? Over the last hundred years, what the angel showed and taught to the three shepherd children – have we practiced yet and have we done yet? Today this is reminded after more than a century, for us to practice, soul and body, mind and heart, to deserve to receive the seal in the forgiveness that God has granted to us.
Thus, Mother reminds us to help us on our way back by this method of prayer, for us to receive the last seal that God has granted us in forgiveness.
Let us pray. Let us speak words of repentance. Let us be determined with heart to come to God with faith.
In everything, let us not fear the eyes of the world, not be afraid or shy – let us profess God among people.
This is the time for us to save our souls through Mother Mary’s teaching.
The Holy Spirit wants us to offer the Fifth Holy Sign to Mother Mary.
Mother is The Fifth Holy Sign, to conclude the great plan that God has set forth and bestowed upon mankind.
That is a steadfastness with faith, for us to be determined in the last moments, in our repentance at the end of our life, each one of us, when we are about to die.
Moreover, the Cross teaches us on the path, when we lift up to Him, for us to meditate on the atrocious sufferings that God has endured on our behalf, and let us walk on the paths with illnesses and sufferings.
Everyone is walking on the path of challenge that each of us is facing.
Let us not despair, because God has chosen this path, which is the open path that leads us back to Him, and on that path we do not walk alone – we walk with Mother Mary.
Mother Mary teaches us what we need to do.
Let us understand and meditate on Mother’s sufferings – then there is nothing we cannot overcome in this world, even in the epidemic.
Hope is there and all things have become the seal through the Five Holy Signs that we receive through Mother Mary’s teaching with the Fifth Kowtow.
The Holy Spirit wants us to be reverent when we come to Jesus, with a contrite heart, because we were ignorant, we were disrespectful, and we did not show any reverence when we contemplated the Cross of the Lord.
Today, woe to the nations that dare to burn down the churches, to bring down the cross of the Lord, to modify the Lord’s Ten Commandments, and to offend God.
Today the epidemic comes to the rebels and to the leaders who have usurped God’s right.
All these things must have an answer that depends on us.
Today we represent those who did not know about the reverence, to lift up to God, to apologize for them.
The Holy Spirit wants us to do this to help the innocents and the victims who were infected and have passed away.
What we do today – we listen to Mother‘s teaching, for those souls to have a place of refuge that God grants to them through the Divine Mercy, with the light of love that He bestows on the innocents, on the victims, on the repentants, on those who call on the Name of God and hope in God in the last hours of their lives.
I thank Mother for teaching us what is like an open book that is guided and enlightened by the Holy Spirit.
No one can clearly, effortlessly, wholeheartedly comprehend, for us to know what belongs to us.
What is the situation of the world today? God is still the Supreme Lord, full of love for us, allowing Mother Mary, our beloved Mother, to lead us to God respectfully, to worship, to prepare ourselves for the future days, and for people everywhere, people who have not had the opportunity to know, to believe, to realize what has been granted to the world through the gift of The Six Kowtows.
We rely on Mother to guide our brothers and sisters through this epidemic so that they may awaken, so that the leadership of each nation will allow its citizens the freedom to worship and return to God through the Divine Mercy.
Mother Mary offers this gift to the whole world, giving priority to Wuhan, China, in the coronavirus epidemic that is affecting the entire world.
I thank, praise, and glorify God through the Five Holy Signs. Amen.
We respectfully offer the Sixth Kowtow to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her triumph.
God the Father, I thank You for Your beginning and Your ending, and everything that You plan and grant to us.
Father, we thank, praise, honor, and lift up our heartfelt thanks to You for having given us and chosen for us our Mother.
Today what we do and know is from Mother.
She taught us to honor You, to come to each Person, to lift up, to say, and to offer.
Although we are weak and wretched, we believe in the love and in the infinite Divine Mercy that You grant, for us to have the opportunity today for the Holy Spirit to teach sinners like us to speak and lift up to You, the First Person, and to each Person.
Mother Mary, the Mother of Divine Mercy, the Mother of the Heart of love.
I thank God the Father for allowing me to lift up earnest prayers to Mother, because words are not enough to express our gratitude and thanksgiving to Mother.
Mother has prayed silently, has accepted everything, has lived a life belonging to God.
Mother is the example for us in today’s world.
With the miserable and tragic situation of the epidemic, with the days when we must enter the final purification, we are still indifferent and unconcerned.
Evil is spreading all over.
Daily, people live in rebellion and in opposition to the morality and the doctrine that God has commanded.
We are oblivious and apathetic regarding a much-needed life of faith.
We have lived in complete abandon, relying on the civilization, the ingenuity, and the sophistication of a radical age.
We live in the utter corruption of the age.
We only focus on the physical life of reality through our demands and we commit many offenses due to lust and greed with all issues.
With evil unfolding, today the epidemic is the proof and the answer to the evil that mankind chose.
Today Mother gives us the opportunity to prepare for the return, because apart from returning to God there is no other place for us to rely on.
We remain forever in a condition of iniquity, wretchedness, weakness.
How can we deserve to receive forgiveness and the Divine Mercy of God? At this moment, Mother teaches us and leads us in solidarity and unity to return with the greatest urgency to call on God’s Name.
Mother Mary is the Mother of the Divine Mercy, the Mother of the Heart of love, the Mother of the Eucharist, the Mother of the Word Incarnate, the Mother of the Savior, the Mother of the Church, the Mother of the clergy, the Mother of the world, the Mother of every sinner, every saint, every victim, every patient, every witness, every penitent, every soul in purgatory, every apostle all over the world, and every layperson.
Whether we know Mother or not, Mother is still the Mother of the entire world.
Together in the prostration, we thank and respectfully offer the Sixth Kowtow to Mother in a spirit of thanksgiving, gratitude, and appreciation.
The title, the appellation of Mother will never be refuted for all the works that Mother has done and granted to us through every situation, every class, every position, every role, and every function.
Mother Mary understands all our weaknesses and sins.
At this moment we lift up thanksgiving to Mother for the gift Mother has granted to lead the world close to God.
This gift helps us repent in a vivid way, in the urgent moments when many problems occur.
Today the coronavirus has spread everywhere.
This event helps us to return to a humble life, helps us to awaken in the days of the purification that each one of us must face, with justice, righteousness, and fairness.
Mother Mary knows and sees the evil that spreads all over the world today.
Mankind has entered a life of civilization, has forgotten the reverence that was due.
Mankind has disobeyed the doctrine of God, one way or another, relying on the subtlety and sophistication of a civilized and free life.
Mankind lives only in reality and forgets what is needed with duty as Christians.
The children of God disregard all aspects so there have been sad and unfortunate stories that happened.
Today we see all sorts of stories still happening, stories contrary to the morality, contrary to the doctrine, with every family, every nation in a state of deadlock, following a trend of civilization with neither love nor compassion, entering division, and many more problems in life that make us stumble.
Mother, the Mother of love, the Mother of the Divine Mercy – Mother knows that if mankind continues in this state, then mankind will face events that have happened, are happening, and will happen, created to harm one another.
Mother has foreseen everything that will happen when mankind disobeys, rebels, rejects God’s love and the Divine Mercy.
In freedom and civilization, mankind has allowed the control of machines and has let the life of nature, the life of the soul, the life of faith to be worn down and to no longer be lively.
We are indifferent and unconcerned.
Our hearts have become frozen and emotionless toward our fellow human beings.
We betray each other, use wicked ways to treat each other, use all kinds of ways to win, and end up living in opposition to the law of nature and religious principles.
All positions and all nations are treating one another – not with compassion, not with righteousness, not with justice, but with cunning plots and machinations.
Today it is men who have brought death to each other with the terrible and fearful epidemic that is a threat to human life all over the world, affecting the economy, commerce, the life of reality, and many things in the life of necessities.
This is a truly distinct and realistic story, not a vague one.
Mother has known about this and Mother has prepared for us.
Mother has prepared for China, even though the people reject God, do not know Mother, do not believe in what is in spirituality.
This is also to let the leaders see the power of God, and the love of God that still gives them the opportunity.
Mother is a gentle person who softly teaches us to surrender to God, to pray for the wicked and sinful opponents that we see.
Mother teaches us to pray, to prostrate on their behalf, to apologize, to pray for God to lessen His wrath with those who disobey, who rebel, who live in wickedness, who oppose God, usurp God’s right, and kill innocent citizens, victims, innocents, sinners who repent and return.
Everything is in a crisis in the present time.
Mankind is free to seek, but must eventually accept the punishment they have inflicted on themselves, which has also affected the other countries all around the world.
Everything lies in despair – we are in a state of anguish and suffering.
Mother is the person who grants to us and helps us.
Let us pray.
Let us pray for the light to begin to shine.
Let us pray for righteous leaders to appear.
Let us pray for God to give the world hope, when we call on His Name and belong to Him.
That is correct.
All these things happen in the period in which Mother plans.
Mother prepared this gift before the time of President Donald Trump, and through prayer the righteous person has appeared – the President who talks about God, the current President Donald Trump of the United States.
Mother knows everything that will happen to the world.
If we continue to ignore prayers and follow our own ways, then we must answer to justice.
The love and the Divine Mercy of God support the righteous people in this world, so God will let the righteous people appear.
Although they have a sinful past, when they repent to become righteous, then God gives them the opportunity to become a good person, to bring righteousness to the whole world.
Today we see a shining example.
Sinners are forgiven by God when they become righteous and reformed.
We pray for God to forgive us, for us to return, to reject all past iniquities, to become a new person.
We need prayers for this to happen.
Mother has given us the gift at the right time.
This is the right opportunity to ask.
Hope has come to the world, hope has come to a country.
God has granted to the people who believe in Him, and to a country that was founded by His law and by His grace.
Today, from the plea in this land and in this country, God has been merciful and chosen for us.
The righteous person has appeared, bringing God’s voice to the world, to remind that justice is needed, to restore and correct what is wrongful with the wickedness and deceit that the leaders are practicing in today’s world.
This event is also a warning to awaken the people who are wicked, scheming, cunning – who use human wisdom to deceive in all matters.
Today righteousness is coming to the world.
Though injustice and evil are also using all means to win, in the end it will be defeated in the attempt to harm the righteous.
The righteous person is always protected by God.
Mother always intercedes to God for the righteous person.
That is the law from the beginning.
Mother Mary is a person who has loved the victims and repentant sinners.
Mother also loves the innocents who have died and have been oppressed for generations.
Mother Mary loves mankind and leads us back to God.
Even if only a few of us, we must return with a contrite and repentant heart and be united.
Let us pray. Let us practice what God wants and brings to the human world at this time.
It is a surprise to humanity, a surprise to all those with functions, a strange thing to the world by the practice with those fervent words.
Because of this, people feel reluctant to accept the gift and feel very different from all that is taught in the Gospel.
But God does not just give us the Gospel, which is the living Word in our daily life.
God is very rich – what He further grants us is the practice.
Mother Mary teaches us to practice, with the reverence needed, with our earnest prayers, with soul and body, mind and heart, and the crucial repentance for us to lift up to God, in the witnessing and acceptance through the Eucharistic Jesus.
All this is not something that mankind can do, but is a lofty spirituality through the Spirit of God who has taught mankind and helped mankind during the event.
Mother Mary has planned and counseled us.
Those profound, fervent prayers – soul and body – in the determination to prostrate, with a heart belonging to God.
Through His glory we find the key, in the words God has given through the Holy Spirit, for us to learn and understand what is neither too difficult nor too complicated.
Let this not become a daily routine in life when we pray vividly every day.
Let us practice with the body, with the mind and heart, with all the blood circulating in our body, with spiritual and physical ardor, with a repentant heart intertwined in a spirit of prayer.
These points – who can know, who can do? Our Mother taught us to do that, our Mother taught us, for us to receive the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Mother taught us to practice, to listen to the Holy Spirit when we are humble, for us to lift up and pray on behalf of others.
We pray with earnest words to God daily.
We thank God when we attend Mass.
We repeat the thanksgiving when people today have forgotten Him, have become a habit.
This gift reminds our human life of the righteousness that is needed when we lift up to each Person.
Everything is given to us.
God has granted, but we still do not know, still do not understand, still do not receive. But Mother is the intercessor who helps and prays for us.
Today the time has come.
We must practice to proclaim what is needed for us to unite and lift up to the Supreme Being.
When we pray with heart and soul, God will listen and intervene.
O Mother Mary, Mother of the Divine Mercy, I thank You.
All these things were foretold, but mankind simply follows the habit of an indifferent life without depth and with the habit of rules.
We do not pay attention to what will happen and is happening.
Mother knows and loves the people who still do not know, who still do not believe, who still do not have the opportunity to believe and to worship as they need to.
So, because of that, Mother has given us this wonderful gift, for us to represent our brothers.
Hopefully, at this time, there will be people who receive and listen when they face the epidemic, and if they are infected by the epidemic, their souls are still alive and they can speak to God and return to Him by heart and mind.
The body is broken yet still alive.
People who are quarantined – they rely on whom? In the days when they are locked in their houses, some play chess or watch the television, but with all the stress, some end up with headaches – their minds cannot remain calm, and they become depressed.
The crisis has caused tragic death stories.
Even before the epidemic happens to them, some people panic – they become depressed and died in that state.
If they know about this gift, if they accept this gift, they can use this gift to pray deeply, because neither the Church nor any priest is nearby with this quarantine.
This is the gift Mother has taught and granted to the world when urgent things happen and when unexpected events occur.
This is the method to be used first in today’s epidemic.
Today the epidemic from China is spreading all over the world.
It will come to us tomorrow and in the days ahead.
This is the gift we must keep practicing when we no longer have the opportunity, when we no longer are healthy to come to church, when we no longer have the opportunity to receive the last sacraments, and when we no longer have the opportunity to see the priests in the last hours of our life.
This is a truly important gift all over the world, for us to call on the Name of God.
With faith, certainly, miracles will occur.
With faith, God will surely intervene, according to His holy will.
If we believe, we will receive; if we seek we will find; if we knock it will be opened to us.
Mother Mary is a truly wise person in the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Mother very gently and softly teaches us what we need to practice in our roles, because that is the most important thing in our inner life, for God to have mercy and for God to accept.
God listens to every person.
God knows the feeling of every human being.
The hair falling from our head He also knows.
There is nothing that He does not know.
Let us be bold to speak up, to believe and practice.
This gift will help the world in this epidemic.
There will be more terrible crises in this purification at the end of history.
Let us unite to thank Mother Mary.
Mother Mary, until this moment – six long years –with what is happening we should not be indifferent.
This is like a wake-up call and an impulse for everyone.
It is a necessity for the spiritual life in the urgent moments.
Let us not think that we can have everything and be calm enough at the end when we face the unexpected through disasters.
Today the gift helps us and leads us along the steps that Mother has given us.
It is also our duty, so, Mother, please help us to continue to practice, continue to pray with the gift – to apologize on behalf of our brothers and sisters who are facing the epidemic, and to do what we can for those who are in their dying moments: the victims, the innocents, and the sinners who repent in their last hours.
Mother, please help everyone to prepare and welcome this gift that is most necessary at this time.
This is what we have done and lifted up on behalf of the world.
Until this moment, though there has not been a satisfactory outcome, we are confident.
The truths are not known by ourselves – it is Mother who prepared for us six years ago, since (4) the righteous man had not taken charge with the responsibility of the presidency.
Through every age, the righteous people will appear when we pray.
God will grant the righteous people to help us and guide us in their functions, in their positions, and their voices are for others to listen to and believe.
This is the most important thing – that we pray for our Church as well as for all the people at this time – to recognize the voice with the most ordinary teaching, to help us on the path
of return to God, in a spirit of repentance, in the most urgent need.
We represent those who have died and those who are infected, as we prepare for the days of purification in the end of history.
Whoever believes will receive, whoever seeks will find, whoever knocks it will be opened to him.
We thank Mother.
The love of Mother does not teach us to oppose everything we face today, even with days of injustice, even with days of being oppressed, by others and by all the leaders and their unjust rulings.
Mother teaches us to pray, to return to God, to prostrate to God, to profess God.
Let us pray – God will take action with justice.
God will be the Supreme Being who saves those who belong to Him – the penitents, those who are alive who repent and return.
God will intervene for righteousness to come to the world.
If we continue to practice the gift and continue a life of witness, God will have a way to save those who belong to Him, through the profound prayer that Mother Mary is teaching and helping us on our way back to God.
Let us not be too late and too tardy while we see the epidemic spreading in the entire world, which is a reminder for us particularly today.
O Mother Mary, I thank You on behalf of all the brothers and sisters who have practiced the gift.
There are people who still have not accepted, still have not known, still have not practiced, and remain indifferent.
There are also doubts from those around us, those who hold functions.
We only know what we need to do.
Mother, let it be Your holy will for us to bring them more documents so that they can continue to help our spiritual life in times of urgency.
We do not know when this epidemic will end.
It will remain a threat to our spiritual life, to our present life.
Today we need to prepare, to help us to have hope in God and to belong to God.
This is the moment to invite mankind to repent and return.
O Mother Mary, I thank You.
Mother, please help us come to St. Joseph.
We pray for him to intercede with God for our Church, for the priests to have integrity and righteousness, to live a life of chastity like St. Joseph, who lived a life of obedience with duty and responsibility for the Holy Family.
May St. Joseph intercede with God for all families in the world to recognize through his example.
With his intercession no one returns empty-handed.
And when we are in this situation, we ask the three archangels, together with all the archangels, the heavenly court, the guardian angels, to please help and intercede with God for us.
May the archangels dispel the snares and traps of the devil that we are falling into – the snares of indifference, with the ego, personality, suspicion, lust, greed, carnal desire.
Everything has led us to sin, to fall into a deep, stubborn, hardheaded, hardened state, to become unkind people, to not have compassion for each other, and to be indifferent with a life of faith.
May the three archangels together with the angels protect us.
May the guardian angels pray for us.
It is time for us to recognize our weak, sinful condition.
Our body cannot oppose and counteract the rational reality of the world, with the subtlety, ingenuity, and cleverness of a radical, civilized era.
We cannot understand the subtle lies so we have fallen into the snares.
All classes, all roles have fallen into this urgent situation.
Moreover, we are also living in a situation in which faith seems to have been lost and dimmed in life.
We only know to live in reality, to demand the rationales of reality, so there are many things we do not believe in and we also cannot understand that that is what makes us fall into the snare.
Today the truth has become clear.
Whether intellectual or knowledgeable or not, in all aspects, the leadership of those who choose the wrong way and go against the doctrine and the truth is ruthless and cruel, so innocent people like us will also fall into that situation.
Today I pray to the archangels for everything that those rulers have done wrong over the centuries to lead many souls into snares, to cause the innocent to die.
The righteous people are persecuted and slandered and are the innocents who have died because of those evil leaders.
I pray to the archangels.
It is time for us to ask for help from heaven, because in the Gospel Jesus said: Then there will be angels ascending and descending – many miracles will appear in the ending, in the days of purification.
So this is the time.
We do not speak without evidence – we have seen the angels and saints ascending and descending by the flames, by the rays of light, by things happening in the most serene moments, in the church as well as at home, and there are places where a multitude of angels and saints are present.
This is the evidence for us to pray with faith and belief through the gift of The Six Kowtows.
At this moment I ask the saints to help us.
May everyone believe and join us in praying with this gift.
It is through this gift that we meditate deeply and we understand that this is a key given by Mother Mary, for us to see the close spirituality and the help of the angels, the archangels, as well as the prayers that God accepts by granting us heaven’s help.
We also rejoice because we have the examples of the saints, with their intercession.
They understand the life of following God.
Those who want to belong to God must go through hardships, trials, and ordeals, but in the end, the saints have triumphed and they have given us shining examples to help us.
Despite difficulties, despite countless challenges, they were steadfast in faith, they lived in faith, and they proved to everyone through their witness that, even facing death, they would not back down.
This is a great example for the human world.
Since the saints have done so, today our human world should not be afraid – we will definitely be able to do it – thanks to the grace of God, thanks to the prayers of the saints, thanks to their examples.
Thanks to the protection and support of the archangels along with the angels, the saints, the guardian angels. We will become the witnesses of the final age.
It is Mother Mary who chose to give us and grant us the opportunity to testify with the gift of The Six Kowtows so that everyone can be united in the return to God.
The door to heaven has opened when the penitents repent in accordance with the method and the profound prayer that Mother Mary has taught through the gift of The Six Kowtows.
That is the last key of history to help all of God’s children around the world.
God, please have mercy and forgive us.
Through Your grace may we be sanctified, transformed, improved, and perfected, for us to prepare ourselves in this present life and in the days we face the epidemic, from soul to body.
Lucia, Maria Nhung, and Paul Hoa conclude at 1:38 p.m. on Monday, February, 24, 2020, at St. Theresa Church, in front of the altar, the tabernacle, the Cross, the icon of the Divine Mercy, the holy statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
In front of the sanctuary, together we proclaim and conclude The Six Kowtows.
I thank God, praise God, and glorify God.
It is 1:38 p.m. – there is no one left in the church.
We remained until this moment to respectfully lift up to God the most earnest words after attending Mass.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
- These messages – the messenger has the unique gift of being able to vocalize all the locutions instantaneously.
- He taught them to prostrate in a kowtow position; this they did, but no one else did.
- “Mr. Creator” is a term the Chinese use to refer to the one who created everything; many are atheists of course. The Six Kowtows, the primary revelation through Lucia Phan, are directly related to China; the word “kowtow” originates there, and the coronavirus was created by men there: China and the world must come back to God through The Six Kowtows.
This is not the first time the kowtow has been revealed in private revelation.
At Fatima in 1916, the Angel taught the three children to kowtow; they did but the people haven’t followed since then…
In his first apparition, after he approached them, the visionary Lucia recounted, “He said, ‘Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.’ Kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground, and made us repeat these words three times: ‘My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You.’ Then, rising, he said: ‘Pray thus. […]’
His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them. From then on, we used to spend long periods of time, prostrate like the Angel, repeating his words, until sometimes we fell, exhausted.” After the angel called them to generously pray and do penance in his second apparition, Sister Lucia related, “It was for this reason that we began, from then on, to offer to the Lord all that mortified us, without, however, seeking out other forms of mortification and penance, except that we remained for hours on end with our foreheads touching the ground, repeating the prayer the Angel had taught us.”
Before the third and final apparition of the Angel, Lucia wrote, “As soon as we arrived there [a hill where they were shepherding], we knelt down, with our foreheads touching the ground, and began to repeat the prayer of the Angel: ‘My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You…’ I don’t know how many times we had repeated this prayer, when an extraordinary light shone upon us.
We sprang up to see what was happening, and beheld the Angel.
He was holding a chalice in his left hand, with the Host suspended above it, from which some drops of blood fell into the chalice.
Leaving the chalice suspended in the air, the Angel knelt down beside us and made us repeat three times: ‘Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.’ Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hands.”
As he gave them Holy Communion he said, “Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.’ Once again, he prostrated on the ground and repeated with us, three times more, the same prayer ‘Most Holy Trinity…’ and then disappeared.
We remained a long time in this position, repeating the same words over and over again. When at last we stood up, we noticed that it was already dark, and therefore time to return home.”
Finally, before Sister Lucia received her final apparition on June 13, 1929, in her convent’s chapel, she was kowtowing while praying the Angel’s prayers.)
The Six Kowtows Prayer
(Can be read in the section of the Kowtow after each Station of the Cross)
Most Holy Father, the Almighty and Ever-living God, together we bow before Your face, to love, to return the favor as You created us and all things in heaven and earth. You sent Your only begotten Son into the world to redeem us. You even sent the Holy Spirit to sanctify and give us life in abundance. Now together, we respectfully offer our prayers.
The First Kowtow:
We thank, love, adore, and praise God the Father. You loved and created us in the flesh to be in Your image. You even blew the Spirit into every creature to have life. May humanity acknowledge and thank You for Your great work of creation. May Your name be glorified, Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We respectfully offer to You our souls and hearts. Please welcome us as we return to You with a repentant heart. Totus Tuus (I totally belong to God)
The Second Kowtow:
We thank, love, adore, and praise Jesus, who obeyed God the Father, came into the world, suffered and died on the Cross out of love for mankind, atoned for our sins and the whole world. May we proclaim Your death and profess Your Resurrection, until You come again. We lift up to You our hearts and souls. May we acknowledge, appreciate, and embrace Your salvation, to enjoy Your Holy Face forever. Totus Tuus (I totally belong to God).
The Third Kowtow:
We thank, love, adore, and praise the Holy Spirit dwelling in us to give us life and sanctify us. We believe You are the Third Person of the Trinity, the union of love between God the Father and God the Son. We worship and honor You with the Father and the Son. May everyone recognize that it is thanks to You that mankind has life, society has progressed, and humanity has civilization. We lift up to God our souls and hearts. Please grant us faith, hope, love, peace, and sanctify us to become Your temple. Totus Tuus (I totally belong to God).
The Fourth Kowtow:
We thank, love, adore, and praise the Eucharistic Jesus who out of love for humanity makes the daily offering at the Redemption Sacrifice throughout the world to become the Holy Body, Holy Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, to nourish our souls. May we prepare our souls to reverently receive Your Body and Blood, and to be intimately united with You. Please welcome us into Your heart and let us be the pedestal at Your feet. May every time we receive the most precious Body and Blood, we proclaim Your death and profess Your Resurrection, until You come again. We lift up to You our souls and hearts. May we revere, adore, and unite with the Eucharistic Jesus each day of our lives. Totus Tuus (I totally belong to God).
The Fifth Kowtow:
We thank, love, adore, and praise the Five Holy Signs of Jesus, which are the mystery of faith and represent God the Father, God the Son, the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Body, Holy Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus, united with the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary, to represent all of humanity in the heavenly family. O Five Holy Signs of Jesus, the Five Holy Signs of love, of grace, of the Divine Mercy. The Five Holy Seals are given to each one of us, and are the covenant that God never refuses when mankind repents or calls upon His name. We lift up to the Five Holy Signs our souls and hearts. God, please sanctify and transform us and Your Church on earth. Totus Tuus (I totally belong to God).
The Sixth Kowtow:
We thank, love, praise, and honor the Holy Name of God the Father who gave us His Daughter and the Mother of humanity, for Mother to pray for us, teach us, and guide us back to Him. We offer the Sixth Kowtow to the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary and for Her Heart to triumph. During the passion of Jesus, Your Son, His shoulder was crushed by the crossbar and He was unable to continue to carry the Cross. But thanks to Your strength, though not carrying the Cross as Jesus, though not faltering like Him, but You carried in Your soul and heart a heart that loves and sympathizes with Jesus to help Him overcome the sorrowful way. We offer to You our hearts and all that belongs to us. Mother, please lead us back to God. Mother, please lead those children who lost their way back to God. Mother, please intervene for everyone to recognize, love, and worship the Trinity. Totus Tuus (I totally belong to Mother).
Epilogue:
May we exalt words of thanksgiving, praise, and honor the Father’s name forever. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Elder Brother, the Almighty and Reigning Lord, in unity with the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Lucia’s remark regarding The Six Kowtows:
(inspired by God the Holy Spirit)
Blessed Mother desires for humanity to turn towards one Heart. A Heart in which Mother is always united with God, a Heart with which Mother always turns towards the lost children all over the world, the children who still do not know God, the children who still do not recognize God, the children who still foolishly follow what belongs to the earthly world, the children who are completely wrong.
A Catechism on The Six Kowtows
In The Six Kowtows, we contemplate and pray from the heart to the Persons of the Trinity and Blessed Mother. Some do not know these Persons, while the rest of us always need to know more. Therefore, we will give a basic catechesis on these Persons so you get to know Them better and your practice of The Six Kowtows becomes even richer.
Before getting into these Persons, a few words need to be said on prostration and on the Trinity.
In our current world, we do not pray much, so we are not very creative with prayer. It has not always been so though. For example, St. Dominic had his “Nine Ways of Prayer,” which are nine bodily positions for prayer (including prostration). Full body prostration has been a constant thread in lives of the saints, because when you know who God is and who you are, you prostrate. In recent history, Pope St. John Paul the Great was known to prostrate before the Blessed Sacrament. Prostration is found throughout the Bible. The Six Kowtows is simply a particular type of prostration. In some of the Eastern Catholic Rites and Orthodox churches, this same basic kowtow posture is practiced. In private revelation, the kowtow position was first revealed and desired by heaven at Fatima though. The angel taught it to Lucia and Saints Jacinta and Francisco, saying “Pray thus.” It is not a coincidence that Sister Lucia and Lucia Phan have the same name, but that is a different story…
Regarding the Most Holy Trinity, it is one God in three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – so much can be said of each Person that we recommend learning more from the Catechism of the Catholic Church or the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. While we can know certain things about the Trinity, it will always be a mystery. As St. Augustine learned, the Trinity is a mystery no creature will ever plumb! The Nicene Creed, the Apostles’ Creed, and the Sign of the Cross are mostly statements of belief in the Trinity. “The central mystery of Christian faith and life is the mystery of the Most Blessed Trinity. Christians are baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Compendium, 44).
Definition of Trinity – A term used since A.D. 200 to denote the central doctrine of the Christian religion. God, who is one and unique in his infinite substance or nature, is three really distinct persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The one and only God Is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Yet God the Father is not God the Son, but generates the Son eternally, as the Son is eternally begotten. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son, but a distinct person having his divine nature from the Father and the Son by eternal procession. The three divine persons are co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial and deserve co-equal glory and adoration (Servant of God Fr. John Hardon, Modern Catholic Dictionary).
God the Father (First Kowtow)
Definition: “First person of the Trinity, who is unbegotten but who eternally begets the Son; from whom and from the Son proceeds the Holy Spirit. To the Father is attributed creation” (Modern Catholic Dictionary).
God the Son (Second Kowtow)
Definition: “The second person of the Trinity, who is eternally the only-begotten of the Father. He is really distinct from the Father and coeternal with the Father, from both of whom proceeds the Holy Spirit. Through him all things were made. He became incarnate of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit and is known as Jesus Christ” (Modern Catholic Dictionary).
God the Holy Spirit (Third Kowtow)
Definition: “The third person of the Trinity, who eternally proceeds from the Father and the Son and is really distinct from them yet coequal with them as God. To him are attributed all the works of the Trinity that pertain to the sanctification of the human race” (Modern Catholic Dictionary).
The Body and Blood of Jesus (Fourth Kowtow)
The Body and Blood of Jesus is a focus of this private revelation, so more will be said for this kowtow. As recorded in the Gospels, the Sacrament of the Eucharist – the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus – was instituted by Him at the Last Supper. “The Eucharist is the very sacrifice of the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus which he instituted to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until his return in glory. Thus he entrusted to his Church this memorial of his death and Resurrection. It is a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet, in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us” (Compendium, 271). As Vatican II teaches, the Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life” (Lumen gentium, 11).
“Jesus Christ is present in the Eucharist in a unique and incomparable way. He is present in a true, real and substantial way, with his Body and his Blood, with his Soul and his Divinity. In the Eucharist, therefore, there is present in a sacramental way, that is, under the Eucharistic species of bread and wine, Christ whole and entire, God and Man” (Compendium, 282).
Amazing but true! The bread and wine are literally turned into the Body and Blood of Christ miraculously through the priest at Mass. The Eucharist is not a symbol. At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take, eat; this is my body. And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant […]’” (Matthew 26:26-28). God does not need to exaggerate and He certainly does not lie. In St. Paul we read: “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:16) Finally, Jesus leaves no doubt that it is literally His Body in Chapter 6 of John, where, rather than backing down and telling people they misunderstood, He doubled down on His teaching on the Eucharist, letting followers leave Him and saying: “‘But there are some of you that do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the first who those were that did not believe” (John 6:64). His audience took it literally because He meant it literally.
The faithful consume and adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Reception of the Eucharist literally remits all venial sin in the recipient. Who can receive?
To receive Holy Communion one must be fully incorporated into the Catholic Church and be in the state of grace, that is, not conscious of being in mortal sin. Anyone who is conscious of having committed a grave sin must first receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before going to Communion. Also important for those receiving Holy Communion are a spirit of recollection and prayer, observance of the fast prescribed by the Church, and an appropriate disposition of the body (gestures and dress) as a sign of respect for Christ (Compendium, 291).
A comment needs to be made on this last sentence. The Vatican has consistently promoted receiving Communion on the tongue while kneeling as the most appropriate way to receive. Cardinal Sarah, the head of the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship, says that we should receive this way. The Vatican website even has a page on this matter. Great reverence is always needed with the divine sacrament. The more reverence the better:
Worship of the Eucharist. In the liturgy of the Mass we express our faith in the real presence of Christ under the species of bread and wine by, among other ways, genuflecting or bowing deeply as a sign of adoration of the Lord. “The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the Eucharist the cult of adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it, reserving the consecrated hosts with the utmost care, exposing them to the solemn veneration of the faithful, and carrying them in procession” (Catechism, 1378).
To be sure, the importance and power of the Eucharist cannot be overstated. Carlo Acutis, beatified on October 10, 2020, said this: the Eucharist is “my highway to heaven.” Simply put, if one’s spirituality is not Eucharistic it is errant. If you want to get to know Jesus, devote yourself to Him in the Eucharist.
The Five Holy Wounds of Jesus (Fifth Kowtow)
“And it was the third hour, when they crucified him” (Mark 15:25).
“By his wounds you have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
The wounds of God here show us how intensely He loves His children. Being God, Jesus could have redeemed us in any number of ways, but no one can suffer for another without extreme love. “While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man–though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us” (Romans 5:6-8). You have five physical signs of God’s love for you. And there are many, many more signs than that in His Passion alone – He told this to St. Bridget of Sweden, who really wanted to know the number of blows He received in His Passion: “I received 5,480 blows on My Body. […]” Saints do not lie, exaggerate, or receive false private revelation. The Passion of the Christ movie was an understatement. Do you believe He loves you that much? He went through hell for us. Anyone who does not believe God loves him or her is deceived by the devil. He came for sinners; He came for you. All blood … for you. Never say He does not know what you are going through. He suffered as only God can, “for God is love” (1 John 4:8).
The Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her Triumph (Sixth Kowtow)
“But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart” (Luke 2:19).
“And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed’” (Luke 2:33-35).
“And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart” (Luke 2:51).
According to Scripture, it is the heart that prays. If our heart is far from God, the words of prayer are in vain. The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place “to which I withdraw.” The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of covenant (Catechism, 2562-2563).
As we all know, the heart is also symbolic of love, so the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus also symbolize Their love of God and others.
It is not clear yet precisely what Her triumph is. At Fatima She simply said,
You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.
In addition to the kowtows, there are also a few additional prayers that are said in The Six Kowtows. We also lift up shorter, heartfelt prayers to the following persons and groups, asking for their protection and intercession:
St. Joseph
St. Joseph does not say a word in Scripture, but volumes have been written about this man who is generally considered to be the greatest saint after Blessed Mother. In short, he was a man worthy to be the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus Christ. That is saying a lot. He is known for his purity, strength, ability to provide for his family, and spiritual power; he is a man’s man. He has his own litany, and the Church calls him “Patron of the Universal Church” as one of his many official titles. His feast day is a “solemnity,” which is the highest rank possible. For a man who does not have a word in Scripture, there is an entire field of theology devoted to him, “Josephology.” Pope Leo XIII wrote an encyclical on him and Pope St. John Paul wrote and taught extensively about him. He is even mentioned in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (532-533)! One cannot say too much about St. Joseph. He is someone you definitely want to get to know. “Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do” (Genesis 41:55). St. Joseph, “Terror of demons, pray for us” (Litany of St. Joseph).
Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael
These are the greatest of the archangels and are all mentioned in Scripture. St. Michael is especially important. He is the general in Blessed Mother’s army waging war against Satan and the other fallen angels. The faithful have traditionally prayed to him after Masses; a Catholic would do well to memorize this short form of the Prayer to St. Michael. If you want help against the devil, go to St. Michael. While all angels are messengers of God, St. Gabriel is the great messenger from God in Scripture. He speaks to Blessed Mother and is in the dreams St. Joseph has in Scripture. St. Raphael is the great healing angel in Scripture.
The Angels
The word “angel” comes from the Greek word angelos meaning “messenger.” Angels appear throughout Scripture. Here is some of what the Catechism has to say about them:
Angels are spiritual creatures who glorify God without ceasing and who serve his saving plans for other creatures: “The angels work together for the benefit of us all” (St. Thomas Aquinas, STh I, 114, 3, ad 3). The angels surround Christ their Lord. They serve him especially in the accomplishment of his saving mission to men. The Church venerates the angels who help her on her earthly pilgrimage and protect every human being. (350-352)
The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls “angels” is a truth of faith. The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition. […] With their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they “always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven” they are the “mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word”. As purely spiritual creatures angels have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendor of their glory bears witness. (328-330).
“[…] the whole life of the Church benefits from the mysterious and powerful help of angels” (334).
“They ceaselessly contemplate God face-to-face and they glorify him. They serve him and are his messengers in the accomplishment of his saving mission to all. The Church joins with the angels in adoring God, invokes their assistance and commemorates some in her liturgy” (Compendium, 60-61)…
The Guardian Angels
Every person has a guardian angel who loves, supports, protects, and guides him or her night and day. It is up to us to follow them or not. “From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession. ‘Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life.’ Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God” (Catechism, 336).
“For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone” (Psalm 91:11-12).
“Behold, I send an angel before you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place which I have prepared. Give heed to him and hearken to his voice, do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him. But if you hearken attentively to his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries” (Exodus 23:20-22).
“According to the general teaching of the theologians, however, not only every baptized person, but every human being, including unbelievers, has his own special guardian angel from his birth” (Dr. Ludwig Ott, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, Book 2, Section 2).
In a side note, in the Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy (2001), the Vatican tells us: “The practice of assigning names to the Holy Angels should be discouraged, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael and Michael, whose names are contained in Holy Scripture.”
The Saints
The Church’s “holiness shines in the saints; in Mary she is already all-holy” (Catechism, 867). Although all are called to holiness, as taught by Vatican II, there are only very small number of canonized saints. We need to sincerely strive for holiness by imitating the saints and seeking their intercession, because, as the French writer Leon Bloy wrote, “There is only one tragedy in the end, not to have been a saint.” We are all called to be saints – at the very minimum to be people who get into heaven, which is a definition of a saint. Let us imitate St. Angela Merici, who said, “I want to become a Saint, because I love Jesus.”
Who are the saints and why should I pray to them?
SAINTS. A name given in the New Testament to Christians generally (Colossians 1:2) but early restricted to persons who were eminent for holiness. In the strict sense saints are those who distinguish themselves by heroic virtue during life and whom the Church honors as saints either by her ordinary universal teaching authority or by a solemn definition called canonization. The Church’s official recognition of sanctity implies that the persons are now in heavenly glory, that they may be publicly invoked everywhere, and that their virtues during life or martyr’s death are a witness and example to the Christian faithful. (Etym. Latin sanctus, holy, sacred.) (Modern Catholic Dictionary)
“I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.” (The Apostles’ Creed).
The witnesses who have preceded us into the kingdom, especially those whom the Church recognizes as saints, share in the living tradition of prayer by the example of their lives, the transmission of their writings, and their prayer today. They contemplate God, praise him and constantly care for those whom they have left on earth. When they entered into the joy of their Master, they were “put in charge of many things.” Their intercession is their most exalted service to God’s plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world (Catechism, 2683).
But is it not wrong to pray to saints and angels? Is not Christ the “one mediator between God and men” (1 Timothy 2:5)? The fact is that God loves to work through His creatures and receives more glory this way than if we go “straight to Jesus.” It is good to go straight to God, but it is also good to go through the saints and angels. Here is a good article on this: https://www.catholic.com/tract/praying-to-the-saints .
The intercession of the saints. “Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness…. They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus…. So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped.” “Do not weep, for I shall be more useful to you after my death and I shall help you then more effectively than during my life.” (St. Dominic) “I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth.” (St. Thérèse of Lisieux) (Catechism, 956)
“The saints are our models of prayer. We also ask them to intercede before the Holy Trinity for us and for the whole world. Their intercession is their most exalted service to God’s plan. In the communion of saints, throughout the history of the Church, there have developed different types of spiritualities that teach us how to live and to practice the way of prayer” (Compendium, 564).
Communion with the saints. “It is not merely by the title of example that we cherish the memory of those in heaven; we seek, rather, that by this devotion to the exercise of fraternal charity the union of the whole Church in the Spirit may be strengthened. Exactly as Christian communion among our fellow pilgrims brings us closer to Christ, so our communion with the saints joins us to Christ, from whom as from its fountain and head issues all grace, and the life of the People of God itself […]” (Catechism, 957).
By canonizing some of the faithful, i.e., by solemnly proclaiming that they practiced heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God’s grace, the Church recognizes the power of the Spirit of holiness within her and sustains the hope of believers by proposing the saints to them as models and intercessors. “The saints have always been the source and origin of renewal in the most difficult moments in the Church’s history.” Indeed, “holiness is the hidden source and infallible measure of her apostolic activity and missionary zeal” (Catechism, 828).
“From the Church he learns the example of holiness and recognizes its model and source in the all-holy Virgin Mary; he discerns it in the authentic witness of those who live it; he discovers it in the spiritual tradition and long history of the saints who have gone before him […]” (Catechism, 2030).
In conclusion, the fact that The Six Kowtows can be supported by the most orthodox and reliable of sources shows how rock solid this new prayer practice is. Though The Six Kowtows seem new, in reality there is practically nothing that is new in them. As Scripture says, “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Hopefully, this writing helps you come to know the details, and, above all, the persons and groups prayed to in this powerful new prayer practice. Pray to them daily with sincere words of praise and petition when prostrating and you will find a powerful means of conversion to God for yourself or ongoing conversion if you are already well on the road to God. Thank You, Blessed Mother, for giving humanity The Six Kowtows!
Kowtows Are Not New
This is not the first time the kowtow has been revealed in private revelation. At Fatima in 1916, the Angel taught the three children to kowtow. The Angel taught them new prayers together with a new prayer posture. (The Six Kowtows are a mere variation of this basic posture.)
In his first apparition, after he approached them, the visionary Sister Lucia recounted, “He said, ‘Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.’ Kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground, and made us repeat these words three times: ‘My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love You.’ Then, rising, he said: ‘Pray thus. […]’ His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them. From then on, we used to spend long periods of time, prostrate like the Angel, repeating his words, until sometimes we fell, exhausted.”
After the angel called them to generously pray and do penance in his second apparition, Sister Lucia related, “It was for this reason that we began, from then on, to offer to the Lord all that mortified us, without, however, seeking out other forms of mortification and penance, except that we remained for hours on end with our foreheads touching the ground, repeating the prayer the Angel had taught us.”
Before the third and final apparition of the Angel, Sister Lucia wrote, “As soon as we arrived there [a hill where they were shepherding], we knelt down, with our foreheads touching the ground, and began to repeat the prayer of the Angel: ‘My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You…’ I don’t know how many times we had repeated this prayer, when an extraordinary light shone upon us. We sprang up to see what was happening, and beheld the Angel. He was holding a chalice in his left hand, with the Host suspended above it, from which some drops of blood fell into the chalice. Leaving the chalice suspended in the air, the Angel knelt down beside us and made us repeat three times: ‘Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.’ Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hands.” As he gave them Holy Communion he said, “Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.’ Once again, he prostrated on the ground and repeated with us, three times more, the same prayer ‘Most Holy Trinity…’ and then disappeared. We remained a long time in this position, repeating the same words over and over again. When at last we stood up, we noticed that it was already dark, and therefore time to return home.”
Finally, before Sister Lucia received her final apparition on June 13, 1929, in her convent’s chapel, she was kowtowing while praying the Angel’s prayers.)
