The Six Kowtows on Divine Mercy Sunday

April 24, 2022

 

This is a message inspired by the Holy Spirit.

 

Lucia: God, it is 1:29 p.m., Sunday, April 24, 2022. We are in Saint Theresa Church, in front of the sanctuary, the tabernacle, the Divine Mercy icon, and the statue of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Today is Divine Mercy Sunday. We just completed the Divine Mercy Novena to receive the plenary indulgence. God, we thank You for allowing us to pray on behalf of the brothers and sisters, kneeling before the altar and Your Divine Mercy icon to thank, praise, glorify, and honor You. Today is an utterly wonderful celebration that You granted to humanity through Your Divine Mercy to forgive and bless us. The Church reminds us after the Octave of Easter that when we pray the Divine Mercy Novena, we earn a plenary indulgence.

 

After Sunday Easter, we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, which is not a grand celebration at this parish. It is a great blessing that You granted Your Divine Mercy to the world and all of us, especially with our mission. After Sunday Mass, the parishioners pray in the church while we kneel before the altar to lift to Your Divine Mercy and thank You for this parish, the clergy, and the parishioners. Though they are unaware of what we have done for the past eleven years, we have the responsibility to pray for them and continue to testify to the truth of Your presence through the Blessed Sacrament.

 

Every year, there is a celebration for Divine Mercy Sunday, and it depends on each parish to have a quiet or big celebration. At Saint Theresa Church, the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday has always been simple. On the other hand, Easter was a beautiful celebration with the new parochial priest. It does not matter how the Church celebrates a Solemnity; our hearts rejoice with the Solemnities celebrated each year, as the Church reminds us, specifically, for us to revere, adore, honor, and thank God. In our lives, we cannot forget these celebrations, especially with our current mission. At this moment, I lift and offer God our thanksgiving and gratitude, and we offer the First Kowtow.

 

We reverently offer the First Kowtow to God the Father.

 

Father, we adore You; we thank, praise, and glorify You. You always love us and give us many opportunities to receive grace and forgiveness, leading us back to Your infinite Divine Mercy. You are the only Supreme Being who loves throughout generations, and no matter how sinful and wretched we are, You love, forgive, and allow us to return to You. The commemoration of Jesus, Your Son’s death, prompted us to recognize our sins, for which You sacrificed Your only Son for us to rely on the Lord Jesus Christ to have life and continue to exist.

 

Today is the Solemnity of the Divine Mercy to celebrate Your infinite mercy that forgives humanity through Your Son, Jesus; thus, we have no other path to take. The only way is to honor and adore the Lord God, who loves humanity with everlasting love. Apart from His love, there is no other place for us to rely on to have a peaceful and happy world. On behalf of all classes and roles, I thank You, Father, especially on this day.

 

Father, we thank, praise, glorify, honor, and adore You; please accept our apology. Father, with sincere words lifted to You, please forgive, sanctify, and transform us for everyone to recognize and return to You sooner. In a troubled world filled with challenges and tensions, may everyone awaken to return to the love of the Divine Mercy. May we be sanctified and transformed to be worthy of the love You grant. We praise You, thank You, and glorify You. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.

 

We reverently offer the Second Kowtow to Jesus.

 

The Second Kowtow, we reverently offer to Jesus, the Second Person of God, the Lord of love. You came into the world out of love for humanity, endured torture and sufferings for our sins, and brought us back from death to life. You gave us a doctrine to teach us to know the truth, perseverance, patience, and recognize the teaching of truth that You grant. Your doctrine teaches us to love You, acknowledge You, practice Your teaching, love our brothers and sisters, and live in truth and peace. Unfortunately, up to this century, we still do not live and practice this doctrine, so we still face days of war, suffering, chaos, jealousy, envy, and many resentments in a world with a civilized society but marred with spiritual misery and anguish.

 

At this moment, there is nothing more we can say; only a few people can feel that things are leaning toward the negativity of this society. Most people focus on their lives in the civilized and radical way they embrace and choose, which is the civilization of death. Today, people cannot grasp this because they support reality. Spiritually, with guidance and discernment, we know that a civilization without God’s teaching is a civilization of death. For this reason, our world remains in a state of misery and discord, with the pandemic, war, and the worst of society’s evildoings lacking justice and righteousness and spreading everywhere. However, we do not lose hope; because of those points, we believe our Father is the Victor who brings peace, happiness, and serenity. Any day there is a proclamation of faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, our Deliverer, and our Redeemer, the world will always have hope.

 

No matter what happens, we still believe and lift our prayers silently. Soon, God will allow everyone to know what He bestows and gives for people with duty and responsibility to constantly pray, with faith, and humble themselves in a spirit of penance, prostration, and surrender. May they adore, honor, and proclaim You, Father, as the Redeemer, the Savior. May the world return to Your teaching of love and the Divine Mercy You grant. Father, please open our hearts to recognize and return in maturity while time permits. I adore You, praise, glorify, and honor You. Through You, the Supreme Being who accepted to die for us, may we receive the plenary indulgence and forgiveness, especially today, through the Divine Mercy everyone yearns and desires.

 

Father, please forgive our weaknesses and imperfections, our days of passion and iniquity that cause us to stumble. Father, please have mercy and forgive for everyone to open their eyes and hearts. May the Divine Mercy You grant through the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit sanctify us. May I belong to Jesus, the Second Person of God, the Redeemer, the Victor, the triumphant and glorious Risen Lord? Lord, please renew our lives, renew the face of the earth, for everyone to recognize and return to Your love. Lord, we adore, honor, and thank You; please accept our apology. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.

 

We reverently offer the Third Kowtow to God the Holy Spirit.

 

O Holy Spirit, You are the love and the light. If we do not follow Your guidance, we cannot understand what is true, false, holy, and evil. Money, fame, status, greed, lust, and ambition cause us to fall. When we do not have You and Your seven gifts, we are confused between truth and falsehood, right and wrong. So we struggle to understand, but You already see and know what we need.

 

We must listen to Your teaching and guidance about justice, righteousness, and truth, to return while time allows. God granted great graces through His Divine Mercy and the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior,  gave us life; He shed His Blood to give humanity eternal life. The guidance and enlightenment help us understand justice, righteousness, and truth. We must have depth and experience from our heart, through prayer, penance, and humility, by observing morality and truth.

 

O Holy Spirit, You alone are the Supreme Being who understands our weakness and wretchedness that causes us to stumble and fall. We fall into temptations because we live in a world familiar with iniquity, living with iniquity, not knowing what it is. God is our Deliverer, who brings us out of the darkness. God helps us avoid iniquity, shun it, and strive to stay away from it. These are easy words to say, but in our world, it seems that few can experience this. The truth is that we all fall into situations with the allurement, passion, and enticement of the real world. We always stumble. Holy Spirit, please help us, enlighten us, guide us, to know where the truth is, where falsehood is, where holiness is, where evil is. May we give up days of iniquity, greed, and selfishness. May we live with heart, truth, feeling, and prayer, with the repentance and reformation that we need from the grace God bestows.

 

O Holy Spirit, You are everything. You understand our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak, and our mind is undecisive. You are the strength of love; please urge us, enlighten us, and guide us back to the path of righteousness. Everything we do is to glorify God. Please sanctify us, transform us, pour abundant graces for us to awaken, and not let it be too late and tardy. Especially in this pressing time, let us worship God, and may the world acknowledge Him. Holy Spirit, please kindle the flame of faith for humanity to no longer walk in what is old with the old law we always follow. Please help us open our hearts to embrace and receive new things. You are the source of fresh and rich graces to help us be close to God, worship God, adore God, and amend our present lives.

 

That is the most important thing God grants for us to understand and experience the Divine Mercy He gives to the world in general. We must come to His Divine Mercy with a repentant heart to recognize everything sinful we committed. We must apologize, reform, and be worthy of the Divine Mercy and the Holy Spirit’s intervention and teaching that enlightens and guides us to have faith by deed and return to holiness. We thank You, Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, we greatly need You. Please kindle in all of us the flame of faith, love, solidarity, and unity for us to triumph over evil, glorify You, and belong to the Father, the Son, and You. May we recognize love with solidarity and unite to have victory in the battle between good and evil in the world, with pressing days and many events happening. Holy Spirit, please accept our prayers. 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. We just received You into our hearts; Your presence is still within us. You guide us, and You dwell in our midst. You understand our feelings, our longing hearts; You see our weaknesses. If we do not pray, then we let the most significant moments in our lives pass by. We desperately need a source of comfort, particularly in today’s world. We waver considerably because the civilized world has many rationales that cause us to distance ourselves from You in all aspects as we live in the civilization and sophistication of a radical age.

 

It is the truth; our world is too liberal. O God, You are the only Lord; no one else can replace You, and there is no other purpose in our lives apart from the moments of worshipping You, adoring You, spending time with You, and receiving You into our hearts. May we open our eyes and hearts and stop offending You with our common ways because things have become a habit in the world. Not many people remind us to let us remind ourselves of the respect and reverence due to God, who revealed Himself through the monstrance to strengthen faith for humanity. God is the mighty Lord who manifests His glory to remind the children and bring them back to Him.

 

These are the moments people must mature to recognize the things God bestows and gives for all of us to feel His presence. Let us honor, cherish, and stop offending God. This world must understand that Mother shed tears because humanity has despised, disdained, and offended God. We do not understand things that others practice in their worship and adoration, but people are arrogant in their way of life, with a disdainful viewpoint, and many ways in this world.

 

O God, Lord of love, You so loved the world; You wait for us through the Blessed Sacrament. You are the Lord who loves us, but we lack understanding; we offend and despise. God, help us recognize that there is no place of refuge apart from the Eucharistic Jesus for us to unite to adore, profess, thank, testify to the truth, and mature in faith. While God still allows us time, may everyone surrender and submit to return to the Eucharistic Jesus. Let us apologize, thank, and pray for His intervention and for the world to grow in faith, and overcome trials, fears, and worries with the pandemic, the war, and many more events.

 

O Eucharistic Jesus, I apologize on behalf of my brothers and sisters, all classes and roles. May they love You, find the truth, spend time praying with heart and seek to come to You. God, please be our source of comfort, for us to be steadfast and overcome the tense and challenging days in this world, to be faithful and persevere till the last minute. God, please have mercy and forgive us, for us to respond to the love that You granted to us and humanity. May we belong to You. May our Church discover the great things revealed by You for humanity to have more faith, strength, and meaning. God promised and instituted the Eucharist in the early Church. From the early Church, the laypeople receive.

 

So this is a matter that God wants to reveal for laypeople like us to know, pray, and testify to this truth for the Church to have exceptional documents. The Church had to follow its law, but there are new riches that the Eucharistic Jesus is granting to the Church, the world, and His sheep. With our zealous hearts, we cherish and revere for us to receive support and intervention. No matter how many events in life, we are not afraid and continue to testify to the truth. We ask in the name of God, the Lord of love, for everyone to come to receive His love and Divine Mercy, to be forgiven, and be brave and bold to testify to the truth and return to righteousness. May we belong to the Eucharistic Jesus. Totus Tuus.

 

We reverently offer the Fifth Kowtow to Five Holy Marks of Jesus Christ.

 

O Jesus of the Five Holy Marks, in the Holy Week, we recall Your Passion. You endured excruciating pain because of our sins. Looking at what we did, we realized we lacked in many things. Every year, we commemorate the past event to remind us that the Five Holy Marks is the most genuine proclamation You desire in our lives. The First Holy Mark is the love bestowed to humanity for generations from God the Father. His love transcends space and time and is never-ending. He still loves us and waits for us till this century.

 

The Second Holy Mark is the Lord Jesus Christ. We must be steadfast in faith that belongs to Him because He is our Savior, Deliverer, and  Redeemer. His doctrine will bring us peace and happiness, but we must believe, practice, and proclaim it. God the Father so loved the world that He sacrificed His only Son, and anyone who believes in His Son will have life. Today, to have life, we must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and follow His teaching. May we profess the Supreme Being whom we adore, honor, and thank, for Him to forever save us. Through death, He gloriously resurrected for us to become the people who affirm what He bestows and grants.

 

The Third Holy Mark is the Holy Spirit. O Holy Spirit, You are the love and the light; You help us know what we must for us to experience the depth, the encounter, and the closeness through a prayer life. Today, Mother Mary teaches us to offer and lift to each Person, understand how to pray, make reparations, give thanks, and recognize our sinful and wretched condition. We have nothing worthy to offer to God apart from our apology and return, our gratitude and penance. The way Mother taught is the best for the life of Christians when we learn to pray.

 

It is important because the Holy Spirit teaches us to profess and experience the Five Holy Marks of Jesus to understand, worship, honor, and thank. The Holy Spirit is the source of grace and enlightens and grants grace to help us fully understand what we need to know affirmatively from the Five Holy Marks of Jesus. Holy Spirit, I thank You. You are the Third Person we adore; please kindle the flame of faith and enlighten everyone to know things You teach, which we need to practice and profess.

 

The Fourth Holy Mark is the Eucharistic Jesus. Today we continue to embrace and receive His Body and Blood. The Eucharistic Jesus is our Savior, the Risen Lord, the Supreme Being who grants us the source of comfort. We cannot lack the reverence, worship, and respect essential to an inner life. That is what Mother wants to remind us, for us to profess and thank when we turn toward the Cross.

 

The Fifth Holy Mark is Mother Mary. Mother accompanied Jesus on the Way of the Cross. She constantly teaches us and understands our weaknesses, imperfection, and disrespect. Because we lack respect, reverence, gratitude, and thankfulness, Mother teaches and leads us to the Five Holy Marks to embrace things God yearns to see in us. God loves us and waits for us. The time has come; everyone must return while there is still time. Mother accompanied Jesus to Calvary; today, Mother wants to lead each person to Calvary for us to be saved and resurrected. We must listen to Mother; we cannot follow our habits in life, but each day, let it be new in the inner life with the method that Mother teaches us.

 

In this meditation, we understand the Five Holy Marks that Jesus left us. He yearns and waits for us to mature and perceive in a spirit of repentance, gratitude, and penance. With meditation and prayer, we turn toward the Five Holy Marks to ask God to forgive; we apologize on behalf of all classes and roles for the indifference and apathy toward one another. Let us return by practicing God’s teaching in a determined way, with ardor, to profess the Lord whom we adore, to affirm the salvation that God grants us. May we return to God to receive support and be worthy of the love He gives through the Five Holy Marks.

 

Mother’s teaching guides us in this life full of challenges and the Ways of the Crosses we must bear. May we look at the good examples of Jesus and Mother, not be discouraged, not lose faith, not lose trust, and always live in hope. Jesus and Mother endured bitterness to help and save humanity, so today, we must be faithful, patient, persevere, and overcome trials. We place our hope in God and Mother. When we reach the end of our Way of the Cross, may we see God and Mother. Let us prostrate, adore, honor, thank, profess, and honor God through the Five Holy Marks. The triumphant Risen Lord grants us the Five Holy Marks, and we receive the Divine Mercy in today’s forgiveness. May we belong to the Five Holy Marks of Jesus Christ. Totus Tuus.

 

We reverently offer the Sixth Kowtow to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for Her triumph.

 

The Sixth Kowtow, I thank the Father. Father, You knew our world; if, without Mother’s example and teaching, we are indifferent and cold toward You. Up to this century and this day, we certainly do not understand what prayer is and do not have any feelings when we pray. Because of these points, most of us are distant from You, living and following the outward adherence to rules. Each day, we live as Christians, but our hearts are hardened, hateful, jealous, envious, and filled with iniquities, as we foster them.

 

Mother wants us to come to God by our hearts, remove negative thoughts, live in humility, and listen and practice His doctrine. However, only a few people do what Mother wants. The time has come. We cannot be negligent in prayer life and cannot follow the familiar way and old rules. We must practice by our heart, by action, by conviction, and by relying on God for us to be strong and determined. Mother teaches us to pray to each Person, which is a way to pray with soul, body, mind, and heart. It is a prayer we lift, united in a spirit of penance and gratitude, to apologize for God to have mercy, forgive, and intervene for us and the world.

 

O Mother Mary, Mother of the Divine Mercy, Mother of the Heart of Love, Mother of the Eucharist, Mother of the Word Incarnate, Mother of the Savior. God granted us Divine Mercy; He died for us. He gave us many things. What do we have worthy with our sinful and weak condition? May we profess, do penance by prayer, and come to the Eucharistic Jesus. Mother Mary taught us for the past eleven years to no longer fear, leave the old path, and be determined to pray for God’s intervention. We face a tense period with war, suffering, and many events in this society, with the pandemic. We cannot remain silent and follow the old way. We must stand up, perceive, accept, to receive new things in the Spirit of God. He actively guides us to ask for God’s intervention and forgiveness to deserve what we have today.

 

O Mother Mary, 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, please have mercy on us. May we listen to Your teaching and return to God by a prayer life, by proclamation, by penance, by the words spoken to You. We thank You and pray for Your Immaculate Heart to triumph. Mother Mary, I honor You and thank You because You are the person who guides us and allows us to learn to pray. The gift You offer to the world is the Six Kowtows. This gift becomes a most significant offering granted to sinners, penitents, and witnesses for us to return to God. This way of praying helps us be more mature, humble, modest, and worthy of Your love, teaching us in the most crucial moments.

 

Mother leads us to Saint Joseph. We pray for his intercession for our Church and the families in this world. Saint Joseph’s example as a pious, righteous, and responsible person helps us recognize and pray for his intercession. Mother also leads us to the three archangels to ask for their help to save us in this world. We see evil spreading everywhere, but the archangels will be the ones to intervene and defend righteousness. We pray to the twelve archangels in charge of the earth to help dispel all the poisonous air. We are slowly losing things of nature that God grants. We pray to the saints throughout history who sacrificed till the last moment, professing their faith. Saints are people who triumphed and now sit at the banquet table.

 

We have our guardian angels, but we rarely feel their presence. However, the prayer Mother taught is for us to pray constantly to ask for heaven’s help. The Father will never refuse to help us because of the urgent matters we face with the offering Mother teaches us to lift. We also lift to God by the deeds we do to profess Him and adore Him. May we return to Him, by the prostration of both soul and body, to beseech Him to have mercy on us. May we deserve to receive His Divine Mercy in this century. We must strive harder to profess and belong to God for each deed to glorify God, honor God, and belong to God.

 

May we belong to the Persons to whom we pray. We lift to You, Mother, and ask for Your intercession with God for us to persevere in the works as You wanted us to testify and witness for the Eucharistic Jesus. He opened the door to reveal the light through His power and glory, to save humanity, and bring the children back with Him through the intervention. We thank, praise God on behalf of all classes and roles, sinners and victims like us, and ask for God to have mercy and forgive. We thank You. May we belong to You. Totus Tuus.

 

Lucia and Maria Titus conclude at 1:56 p.m., on Sunday, April 24, 2022, at Saint Theresa Church, in front of the altar, the tabernacle, the Cross, and the Divine Mercy icon. It is the Solemnity of the Divine Mercy. God, please have mercy, sanctify, and forgive us. May the world recognize, return to God’s Divine Mercy and thank the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary. Mother, please guide us. We pray for the world to proclaim the Six Kowtows. May everyone receive this gift as an offering to respectfully lift to God in the urgent, tense, and unpredictable days. We thank God; we praise, glorify, and honor God, the Lord of love, now and forever. Amen. Amen. Amen.
