 DEDICATING 9 DAYS TO OUR LOVING,  HEAVENLY FATHER

 " Through Him, with Him, in Him  "

God is My Father

My Father in Heaven, how sweet it us to know that You are My Father and
that
I am Your child !

Especially when the skies of my soul are cloudy and my Cross weighs
more
heavily, I feel the need to repeat to You: Father I believe in Your
love for
me!

Yes, I believe that You are a Father to me at every moment of my life
and
that I am Your child!

I believe that You love me with an infinite love!

I believe that you are watching over me night and day and that not a
hair
falls from my head without Your permission!

I believe that in Your infinite wisdom, You know better than I what is
good
for me

I believe that in Your infinite power, You can bring good even out of
evil

I believe that in Your infinite goodness, You make everything to the
advantage of those who love You:  even under the hands of those who
strike
me, I kiss Your hand which heals!

I believe, but increase in me faith, hope and love!

Teach me always to see Your love as my guide in every event of my life

Teach me to surrender myself to you like a baby in its mother's arms.

Father, You know everything.  You see everything, You know me better
than I
know myself, You can do everything and You love me!

My Father, since it is Your wish that we should always turn to You, I
come
with confidence to ask You, together with Jesus and Mary.   ( here
request
the favour you desire )

For this intention, and uniting myself to their Most Sacred Hearts, I
offer
You all my prayers, my sacrifices and mortifications, all my actions
and
greater faithfulness to my duties

Give me the light, the grace and the power of The Holy Spirit!

Strengthen me in this Spirit, that I may never lose Him, never sadden
Him
and never allow Him to become weaker in me

My father, I ask this in the Name of Jesus Your Son! And You Jesus,
open
Your Heart and place in It my own, and together with Mary's offer it to
Our
Divine Father! Obtain for me the grace that I need!

Divine Father, call all men to Yourself.  Let all the world proclaim
Your
fatherly goodness and Your divine mercy!

Be a tender Father to me and protect me wherever I am, like the apple
of
Your eye.  Make me always a worthy son/daughter; have mercy on me!

Divine Father, sweet hope of our souls, may You be known, honored and
loved
by all men!

Divine Father, beneficent dew of humanity, may You be known, honored
and
loved by all men!

 DAY 1  :  GOD THE CREATOR

" I am The Eternal One, and when I was alone, I had already thought of
using
all my power to create beings in My image. But material creation had to
come
first, so that these beings could find their means of sustenance; it
was
then that I created the world.  I filled it with all the things I knew
would
be necessary to men; air, sun and rain, and many other things that I
knew to
be necessary for their life.  In the end, man was created ".  ( from  
"The
Father speaks to His children" the message given by The Father to
Mother
Eugenia).

Recite the Prayer "God is My Father"

Scripture Reading from - Genesis 1 :1-31, 2 :1-4

The story of Creation In the beginning, when God created the universe,
the
earth was formless and desolate.  The raging ocean that covered
everything
was engulfed in total darkness and the power of God was moving over the
water. Then God commanded, "Let there be light" - and light appeared.  
God
was pleased with what he saw.  Then he separated the light from the
darkness
and he named the light "Day" and the darkness "Night".  Evening passed
and
morning came - that was the first day.

Then God commanded, "Let there be a dome to divide the water and to
keep it
in two separate places" - and it was done.  So God made a dome, and it
separated the water under it from the water above it.  He named the
dome
"Sky".  Evening passed and morning came - that was the second day.

Then God Commanded, "Let the water below the sky come together in one
place,
so that the land will appear" - and it was done.  He named the land
"Earth",
and the water which had come together he named "Sea" and God was
pleased
with what he saw.  Then he commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds
of
plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit" - and it was
done.
So the earth produced all kinds of plants, and God was pleased with
what he
saw.  Evening passed and morning came - that was the third day.

Then God commanded, "Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from
night
and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals begin;
they
will shine in the sky to give light to the earth" - and it was done.  
So God
made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon
to
rule over the night; he also made the stars.  He placed the lights in
the
sky to shine on the earth, to rule over the day and the night, and to
separate light from darkness.  And God was pleased with what he saw.
Evening passed and morning came - that was the fourth day.

The God commanded, "Let the water be filled with many kinds of living
beings, and let the air be filled with birds." So God created the great
sea-monsters, all kinds of creatures that live in the water, and all
kinds
of birds.  And God was pleased with what he saw.  He blessed them ll
and
told the creatures that live in the water to reproduce, and to fill the
sea,
and he told the birds to increase in number.  Evening passed and
morning
came - that was the fifth day.





 Then God commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life:
domestic and wild, large and small" - and it was done.  So God made
them
all, and he was pleased with what he saw.

Then God said, "And now we will make human beings; they will be like us
and
resemble us.  They will have power over the fish, the birds, and all
animals, domestic and wild, large and small. "So God created human
beings,
making them to be like himself.  He created them male and female,
blesses
them, and said, "Have many children, so that your descendants will live
all
over the earth and bring it under their control.  I am putting you in
charge
of the fish, the birds and all the wild animals.  I have provided all
kinds
of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat; but for all the wild
animals
and for all the birds provided grass and leafy plants for food" - and
it was
done.  God looked at everything he had made, and he was very pleased.
Evening passed and morning came - that was the sixth day.

Chapter 2 verses 1- 4

And so the whole universe was completed.  By the seventh day God
finished
what he had been doing and stopped working.  He blessed the seventh day
and
set it apart as a special day, because by that day he had completed his
creation and stopped working.  And that is how the universe was
created.

Prayer for the day

O God My Father, thank You for the world in which I live, for all the
beautiful things in it, for all the interesting things in it, for all
the
useful things in it.  Thank You for the life You have given me, for my
body
to act, my mind to think, my memory to remember, my heart to love.  
Thank
you for giving me so many things to enjoy, so many things to do, so
many
people to love.  Help me never to do anything that would make the world
uglier or people sadder.  Help me to always add something to the
world's
beauty and the world's joy.

Give me a sense of responsibility for Your world.  Keep me away from
doing
things without thinking, from being carelessly or deliberately
destructive,
from failing to grasp the opportunities which are offered to me.  Help
me to
always use my time and life wisely and productively. I make this prayer
through Jesus Christ Your Son Our Lord.  Amen.

Thanksgiving Prayer



DAY 2  :  THE FACE OF OUR FATHER

 " My Son Jesus is in Me and I am in Him, in our interchanging love
which is
The Holy Spirit, Who keeps us united in this bond of love so as to make
us
ONE".  (from "The Father speaks to His Children" the message given by
The
Father to Mother Eugenia).

 Recite the Prayer "God is My Father"





Scripture Reading from - John 14 : 5 - 14

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we not know where you are going; so how can
we
know the way to get there?" Jesus answered him "I am the way, the truth
and
the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.  Now that you have
known
me," he said to them, "you will know my Father also, and from now on
you do
know him and you have seen him".

Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father; that is all we need."
Jesus
answered, "For a long time I have been with you all; yet you do not
know me,
Philip ?  Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.  Why, then, so you
say,
'Show us the Father'?  Do you not believe, Philip, that I am in the
Father
and the Father is in me?  The words that I have spoken to you," Jesus
said
to his disciples, "do not come from me.  The Father, who remains in me,
does
his own work.  Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the
Father
is in me.  If not, believe because of the things I do.  I am telling
you the
truth:  whoever believes in me will do what I do - yes, he will do even
greater things, because I am going to the Father.  And I will do
whatever
you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown
through the
Son.  If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.

Prayer for the day

We long to see Your Face, O Father, Your Glorious Wondrous Face Your
Loving,
Merciful, Adorable Face Father, You are Majesty Personified, Brilliant,
Far
more brilliant than a thousand suns lit up together. Your Love shines
brightly, Driving away the shadows from our soul. Eternal Father,
Compassionate God Transform us into living reflectors of Your love to
the
world. Let those who come in contact with us, No longer see us, but
You.
Give us the graces we need. Shield and defend us from the foe malign.
Amen.

Thanksgiving Prayer



DAY 3 :  GOD THE FATHER WHO DISCIPLINES

"The more evil grew, the more My goodness urged Me to communicate with
just
souls so that they could transmit My commands to those who were
creating
disorder.  I was sometimes obliged to be strict in order to reprove
them;
not to punish them - that would only have done harm - but to take them
away
from vice and lead them to Their Father and Their Creator, whom they
had
forgotten and ignored in their





ingratitude.  Later, evil overwhelmed men's hearts to such an extent
that I
was compelled to send calamities upon the world to purify men through
suffering, the destruction of their possessions, or even their death"  
(from
"The Father speaks to His children" the message given by The Father to
Mother Eugenia).

Recite the Prayer "God is My Father"

Scripture Reading from - Hebrews 12 : 5 - 11

Have you forgotten the encouraging words which God speaks to you as his
sons
?

"My son, pay attention when the Lord corrects you, and do not be
discouraged
when he rebukes you. Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves, And
punishes everyone he accepts as a son".

Endure what you suffer as being a father's punishment; your suffering
shows
that God is treating you as his son.  Was there even a son who was not
punished by his father ?  If you are not punished, as all his sons are,
it
means you are not real sons.  In the case of our human fathers, they
punished us and we respected them.  How much more, then, should we
submit to
our spiritual Father and live !  Our human fathers punished us for a
short
time, as it seemed right to them; but God does it for our own good, so
that
we may share his holiness.  When we are punished, it seems to us the
time
something to make us sad, not glad.  Later, however. Those who have
been
disciplined by such a punishment reap the peaceful reward of a
righteous
life.

Prayer for the day

O God Eternal Source of all goodness You desire perfection in everyone
And
so permit us to go through torments and sufferings In order that we be
purified of all sin O Merciful Father, grant us the grace To remain
true to
you And never give in to despair Let us remember that Your grace will
sustain us In the midst of trials and temptations Grant us O Master The
grace to seek to please You By suffering with great love for You By not
complaining when our burdens seem heavy And troubles pour down on us
like
rain Grant us the grace to love You in every circumstance And to
believe in
Your infinite love for us Amen.



Thanksgiving Prayer

 DAY 4  : GOD OUR PROVIDER

"I know your needs, your desires and everything in your hearts.  But
how
happy and grateful I would be if I saw you coming to Me and confiding
in Me
your needs, like a son who has total trust in his father.  How could I
refuse the smallest or biggest thing if you asked Me ?"  (from "The
Father
speaks to His children" the message given by The Father to Mother
Eugenia).

Recite the Prayer "God is My Father"

Scripture Reading - Psalm 65 : 9 - 13

Praise and Thanksgiving

You show your care for the land by sending rain; You make it rich and
fertile. You fill the streams with water; You provide the earth with
crops.
This how you do it : You send abundant rain on the ploughed fields And
soak
them in water; You soften the soil with showers And cause the young
plants
to grow. What a rich harvest your goodness provides! Wherever you go
there
is plenty The pastures are filled with flocks; The hillsides are full
of
joy. The fields are covered with sheep; The valleys are full of wheat.
Everything shouts and sings for joy.

Prayer for the day

O Merciful, Kind and Loving Father You are so concerned about us You
look
upon us with such infinite love You give us what we need Unstintingly,
unreservedly You are The source of all goodness We commend ourselves to
You
You know what is best for us We praise You and glorify You We are Yours
and
Your alone Do with us what You will

DAY 5  : GOD THE LOVING FATHER

" A mother never forgets the little creature she has brought into the
world.
So if a mother loves the little being I gave her, I love him more than
she
does, because I created him.  Even if it happens that a mother loves
her
child less because of some defect, I on the contrary, will love him
still
more.  I will always love him, and even if he no longer remembers Me,
His
Father and Creator, I will still remember him and love him". ( from
"The
Father speaks to His children" the message given by The Father to
Mother
Eugenia).

Recite the Prayer "God is My Father"

Scripture Reading from - Hosea 11 : 1 - 4

The LORD says, "When Israel was a child, I loved him and called him out
of
Egypt as my son. But the more I called to him, The more he turned away
from
me. My people sacrificed a Baal; They burnt incense to idols. Yet I was
the
one who taught Israel to walk I took my people up in my arms, But they
did
not acknowledge that I took care of them. I drew them to me with
affection
and love I picked them up and held them to my cheek; I bent down to
them and
fed them.

Prayer for the day

Merciful God Creator of all We believe in Thee Thou art The Omnipresent
Thou
hast created us all from nothing Thou hast called us by name Thou hast
carved us on the palm of Thy Hand Thou will not forget us Thou hast
consecrated us to Thyself Thou lovest us all Each and everyone
infinitely,
unconditionally O Father in Heaven Keep us from all evil



Protect us from the snares of the tempter And lead us into Thy Kingdom
Amen.

Thanksgiving Prayer



DAY 6  : GOD THE EVER MERCIFUL FATHER

"As for you, souls in a state of sin, or who are ignorant of religious
truth, I will not be able to enter you; however I will be close to you,
because I never stop calling you, inviting  you to desire to receive
the
benefits I bring you, so that you may see the light and be healed of
sin.  I
spend days, sometimes years , close to some soul to be able to ensure
their
eternal happiness. They do not know that I am there waiting for them,
calling them every moment of the day.  However, I never become weary
and aI
still feel joy in remaining close to you, always hoping that you will
return
to Your Father some day and that you will at least offer Me some act of
love
before you die". (from "The Father speaks to His children" the message
given
by The Father to Mother Eugenia).

Recite the Prayer "God is My Father"

Scripture Reading from - Luke 15 : 11 - 32

Jesus went on to say, "There was once a man who had two sons.  The
younger
one said to him, 'Father, give me my share of the property now.' So the
man
divided his property to his two sons.  After a few days the younger son
sold
his part of the property and left home with the money. He went to a
country
far away, where he wasted his money in reckless living.  He spent
everything
he had.  Then a severe famine spread over that country, and he was left
without a thing.  So he went to work for one of the citizens of that
country, who sent him out of his farm to take care of the pigs.  He
wished
he could fill himself with the bean pods the pigs ate, but no one gave
him
anything to eat.  At last he came to his senses and said, 'All my
father's
hired workers have more than they can eat, and here I am above to
starve!  I
will get up and go to my father and say, Father, I have sinned against
God
and against you.  I am no longer fit to be called your son; treat me as
one
of your hired workers.'  So he got up and started back to his father.

 "He was still a long way from home when his father saw him; his heart
was
filled with pity, and he ran, threw his arms round his son, and kissed
him.
'Father', the son said, 'I have sinned against God and against you.  I
am no
longer fit to be called your son'.  But the father called his servants.
'Hurry!' he said.  'Bring the best robe and put it on him.  Put a ring
on
his finer and shoes on his feet.  Then go and get the prize calf and
kill
it, and let us celebrate with a feast!  For this son of mine was dead,
but
now he is alive; he was lost, but now he has been found'.  And so the
feasting began.

 "In the meantime the elder son was out in the field.  On his way back,
when
he came close to the house, he heard the music and dancing.  So he
called
one of the servants and asked him,  "What's going on?'



Your brother has come back home', the servant answered, 'and your
father has
killed the prize calf, because he got him back safe and sound.'

"The elder brother was so angry that he would not go into the house; so
his
father came out and begged him to come in.  But he answered his father,
'Look, all these years I have worked for you like a slave, and I have
never
disobeyed your orders.  What have you given me?  Not even a goat for me
to
have a feast with my friends!  But this son of yours wasted all your
property on prostitutes, and when he comes back home, you kill the
prize
calf for him!'  'My son', the father answered, 'you are always here
with me,
and everything I have is yours.  But we had to celebrate and be happy,
because your brother was dead, but now he is alive; he was lost, but
now he
has been found.'''

Prayer for the day

Let us never fail to praise the infinity of God's mercy From his
Merciful
Heart flows torrents of love To flood the souls of us poor sinners O
Merciful Father O Majestic and Omnipotent One Look at us wretched
sinners
with Thy merciful eyes We come to Thee Our Loving father Trusting in
They
abundant mercy O kind Eternal Father We have offended Thee ever so
often But
now we come repentant Humbly kneeling before Thee Forgive us we beg
Thee O
Father in Heaven Be gracious to us we plead Our sins are as numerous as
the
stars in the sky Our souls are stained and scarred by our
transgressions
Still we look to Thee Dear Father And implore Thy mercy Eternal Father,
pardon us and be merciful to us Now and at the hour of our death Amen.

DAY 7  :  GOD OUR PROTECTOR

"I want to protect the young people as a tender Father.  There is so
much
evil in the world!  These poor, inexperienced souls are letting
themselves
be seduced by the attraction of vice which, little by little, leads to
total
ruin.  You who especially need someone to take care of you in life, so
that
you can avoid evil, come to Me! I am the Father WHO loves you more than
any
other creature will ever be able to do!  Take refuge close, very close
to
Me, confide in Me your thoughts and your desires'. (from "The Father

you
will not be harmed. You will look and see How  the wicked are punished.

You have made the Lord your defender, The Most high your protector ,
And so
no disaster will strike you, No violence will come near your home. God
will
put his angles in charge of you To protect you wherever you go. They
will
hold you up with their hands To keep you from hurting your feet



On the stones. You will trample down lions and snakes, Fierce lions and
snakes. God says, "I will save those who love me And will  protect
those who



Acknowledge me as Lord. When they call to me, I will answer them. When
they
are in trouble, I will be with them. I will reward them with long life;
I
will save them,"

Consoler, My
Hope My enemies have surrounded me I have no one to cry out to but You
But I
know that You will not forsake me You will not abandon me Your Presence
is
not just a ray But a flood of light Which drives away the shadows from
my
soul In the most darkest moments You are closest to me You will not
leave me
You will not let my enemies triumph over me Instill in me a sense of

be
done always Amen.
