Dear brothers and sisters in CHRIST, Sorry for the delay. Aucklanders have already started their Dec 20 fasting and prayers.
We all need to skip atleast a single meal. Fasting the whole day will be great. Try to spend more time in chapel or other lonely place alone with GOD. Spend your time in silence. Try to be away from friends and fun. The whole day must be spend in prayers. Talk to others only when itz really necessary. Who ever can spend time in prayer before HOLY EUCHARIST, please do it. Pray continuosly for the conversion of the so called terrorist brothers. Recite as many rosaries as possible,especially rosary of mercy and dedicate all the prayers for the conversion of our terrorist brothers. Please try not to pray for any other intentions other than those that are very urgent.

"All Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be in the world without end; Amen." "God, our heavenly Father, You call all people to be united as one family in worshipping You as the one and the only true God. We adore You, worship You and lift our hearts to Your divine presence, oh Lord, as we prepare in a very special way to welcome Your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into our hearts. Through the Divine Mercy and the Love of JESUS, which prompted Him, to humble Himself to human form and become flesh for us, we ask You Abba Father, with all our heart to have mercy upon all our brethren who have hardened their hearts in the name of religion and are causing terror all over the world. Pour out Lord, Your love upon them and heal them in Your divine love, heal their wounds that cause them to wound others, touch them in a way they have never experienced before. Destroy their evil convictions which they have obtained from their past lives and instill in them a new heart which will make them love others sincerely and work for Your Kingdom, The Kingdom of GOD. Father, we all humbly ask You, in the precious name of Your only Son and our Lord, JESUS CHRIST, to anoint each of these brethren with Your precio! us Holy Spirit. Father, please remember how You converted Saul who persecuted Your Son, to Paul who later preached Your Kingdom. Abba Father, at this time, when the whole world lives under the terror of these people, we remember Your promise made to Your people, that You will break all hearts of stone and give us hearts for love alone. `Yes, Lord Jesus, break all the bonds of hatred, jealousy, bitterness, vengeance, rivalry and all that is not of Your kingdom and fill all hearts with Your love, with Your peace and joy. May the powers of darkness and evil be crushed and broken and be bound by the precious name of Your son and our Lord, JESUS CHRIST. Punish them not, dear Lord, for any of their misgivings, for they themselves are unaware of what they do. Touch them, and let Your gentle streams of forgiveness flow through their hearts and may they be able to see the light, oh, Lord. &nb! sp; Lord God, as we make this prayer for them, we also ask You Father, look not upon our sins, let not our sins be a hindrance in the prayer for them, Lord, but look only upon Your abundant mercies through which You keep forgiving us, each time we fall. Father, as we surrender before Your throne any ill feelings, any resentment that we may have against them, we ask You Father, to wash away all the ugliness in our heart and may it be replaced by Your loveliness. Let us now bow down our heads for the mercy prayer: Jesus of Nazareth, has triumphed over death His reign is eternal He is coming to conquer the world and time. Mercy, my God, on all those who blaspheme against you. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Mercy, my God, for the scandals in the world. Deliver them from the spirit of satan. Mercy, my God, on all those who cause terror in your name forg! ive them. Mercy, my God, on all those who will come repentant to your glorious throne May they find there peace and joy. Mercy, my God, for those who persecute you. Pour out Your mercy into human hearts. Mercy my God so that Your kingdom may come, but save souls, there is still time, for the time is drawing near.
