Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #007: The Saints, The Mass, Confession
We continue the discussion of the Morning Offering and the power of the intercession of the Communion of Saints before beginning a discussion on the Mass and finally on Confession.
Formula for a Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things and I desire Thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee (Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori).

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #004: Nobody is Saved Without Our Lady
The importance of consecrating your day to Mary in your morning offering cannot be stressed enough! Without Mary nobody is saved, and in these latter days those who have True Devotion to her will be among the greatest Saints of all time. While the violence of chastisements will increase as time comes to a close the reward for staying faithful to the Faith, and especially for being a consecrated servant of Our Lady, will be immense beyond measure or imagination. Always remember to consecrate your day – and your children – to Our Lady so that she may protect you under her mantle!

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #001: End of 2023, Beginning of 2024
As we finish 2023 it’s a good time to reflect on the past year and make a General Confession. It’s also an excellent time to resolve to improve our spiritual life, first by knowing ourself and our chief fault but also make the most of the time we have by developing our spiritual life through attendance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Spiritual Communions, Mental Prayer, the Rosary, Spiritual Reading, study of the Faith, and more.
Formula for a Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things and I desire Thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee (Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori).
