THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS AND PADRE PIO

In 1952, a woman was about to die during delivery because of an erroneous blood transfusion. She received the Last Rites. When the priest left, she saw a monk: “I am Padre Pio and you will not die. Say an ‘Our Father’ and one day you will come to see me.” About a year later, she went to see Padre Pio. He told her: “You got the miracle because the Sacred Heart sent me to save you, since you are devoted to him and did the First Fridays of each month.”

This devotion consists in attending Holy Mass and receiving Holy Communion in reparation for those who do not receive Our Lord, who do not love Him and who wound Him by their sinful lives.

“I promise you, in the excessive mercy of My Heart, that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday of nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their Sacraments, My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.”

(Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary)

EFFICACIOUS NOVENA TO THE SACRED HEART

by Saint Margaret of Alacoque

This novena prayer was recited every day by Padre Pio for all those who asked his prayers and is Known to be Very Powerful

O my Jesus, Thou has said: "Truly I say to you, ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you." Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of.... (ASK)

Recite:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be;

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in T'hee.

O my Jesus, Thou has said: "Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in My Name, He will give it to you:" Behold, in Thy Name, I ask the Father for the grace of…. (ASK)

Recite:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be;

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

O my Jesus, Thou has said: "Truly I say to you, Heaven and earth will pass away but My words will not pass away." Encouraged by Thy infallible words I now ask for the grace of ... (ASK)

Recite:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be;

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for Whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of Thee, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary Your tender Mother and ours.

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To T'hee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

by Rev. Irenaeus Schoenherr, O.F.M.

God has always dealt with men in a way consonant with their nature--by drawing them to His Holy Will by promises of reward. It was so with His dealings with the chosen people under the Old Dispensation. It was the way of Christ in the New, promising even a hundredfold return for compliance with His desires. And so it is in the history of the revelation and propagation of the devotion to the Sacred Heart.

"That men might more readily respond to that wonderful and overflowing desire of love," wrote Leo XIII in his Encyclical Annum Sacrum (1899) on the devotion, "Jesus, by the promise of rich rewards, called and drew all men to Him." St. Margaret Mary in her writings insists again and again on the ardent desire of Christ to pour out blessings with a royal generosity on those who would honor His Divine Heart and return Him love for love.

These Promises of the Sacred Heart, in the form in which they are now popularly known and approved by the Church, far surpass in variety, universality and importance those attached to any other exercises of devotion in the Church.

They are addressed to all sorts of persons: to the fervent, the tepid, and the sinful. They embrace every condition of life: priests, religious, and seculars. They promise relief to the afflicted, strength to the tempted, consolation to the sorrowful, peace to the family, blessings in the home, success in our enterprises, mercy to the sinner, high sanctity to fervent souls, courage to the cold of heart. They promise power to the priest to soften the hardest hearts. They promise strength and courage on our death-bed, and tell us of the priceless gift of final perseverance and of a refuge in the Heart of Christ at the last moment.

What greater or more valuable favors than these could even the omnipotent and boundless love and goodness of the Sacred Heart bestow on us? These Promises help us to an understanding of the truth of St. Margaret Mary's glowing words: "Jesus showed me how this devotion is, as it were, the final effort of His love, the last invention of His boundless Charity."

1st Promise-- "I will give to My faithful all the graces necessary in their state of life."

The duties of our daily life are numerous and often difficult. God grants us in response to prayer and frequent reception of the Sacraments all the necessary graces for our state of life. There are also extraordinary graces which lie outside the usual action of God's Providence, graces that He gives to His special friends. These are more efficacious graces, more plentifully given to the clients of the Sacred Heart.

2nd Promise -- "I will establish peace in their homes."

"'Peace is the tranquillity of order, the se- renity of mind, simplicity of heart, the bond of charity." (St. Augustine) It was the first thing the Angels wished to men at the birth of Jesus. Our Lord Himself bade His disciples to invoke it: "Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this house!' " (Luke 10, 5) In the Heart of Jesus will be found the true peace, that makes the home the reflex and anticipation of our heavenly Home.

3rd Promise -- "I will comfort them in all their afflictions."

The desire to comfort the sorrowful is the mark of a noble and kind heart. The Sacred Heart is the most noble and generous of hearts, both human and divine. How does He console us? Not necessarily by freeing us from sorrow and affliction. He knows the priceless value of the cross--that we have sins to expiate. By His grace, He makes what is painful tolerable. "I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our troubles." (2 Cor. 7, 4)

4th Promise -- "I will be their secure refuge in life, and above all in death."

"One of the soldiers opened His side with a lance, and immediately there came out blood and water." (John 19, 34) Christ's side was opened to show that Divine Providence wished all men to find in His Divine Heart an assured refuge against the enemies of our salvation. In His Heart we can find protection, strength in our frailty, perseverance in our inconstancy, assured refuge in the dangers and toils of life, and at the hour of death.

5th Promise -- "I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings."

"God is love." He is ready to give His children abundant temporal blessings as long as they do not imperil our eternal interests. His "special" Providence protects and watches over those devoted to the Sacred Heart with peculiar love and tenderness. However, we should not be discouraged if our prayers for temporal favors are not always answered, for God always puts our eternal good before our temporal good.

6th Promise--"Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy."

The Redemption is the immortal drama of God's mercy; and our Divine Redeemer is, as it were, God's Mercy Incarnate. "With the Lord is kindness and with Him plenteous Redemption." (Ps. 129, 7) On earth the Heart of Christ was full of mercy toward all. Now in His glorified humanity in heaven Jesus continues to show forth His boundless mercy, "always living to make intercession for us." (Heb. 7,25)

7th Promise -- "Tepid souls shall become fervent."

Lukewarmness is a languid dying state of the soul that has lost its interest in religion. The Holy Spirit expresses deep disgust for such a soul: "You are neither cold nor hot ... I am about to vomit you out of My mouth." (Apoc. 3, 15) The only remedy for it is devotion to the Sacred Heart, Who came "to cast fire on earth," i.e., to inspire the cold and tepid heart with new fear and love of God.

8th Promise -- "Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection."

High perfection is the reward that Christ bestows on the fervent clients of His Divine Heart; for this devotion has, as its special fruit, to transform us into a close resemblance to our Blessed Lord. This is done by kindling in our hearts the fire of divine love, which, as St. Paul says, "is the bond of perfection." (Col. 3, 14) Through devotion to the Sacred Heart self-love will give way to an ardent zeal for His interests.

9th Promise -- "I will bless every place in which an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored."

Religious pictures are a powerful appeal and inspiration. The Sacred Heart is an open book wherein we may read the infinite love of Jesus for us in His Passion and Death. He shows us His Heart, cut open by the lance, all aglow like a fiery furnace of love, whose flames appear bursting forth from the top. It is encircled with thorns, the anguishing smarts of unheeded love. May it ever impel us to acts of love and generosity.

10th Promise -- "I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts."

The conversion of a sinner calls sometimes for extraordinary graces. God never forces the free will of a human being. But He can give actual graces with which He forsees the sinner will overcome the resisting attitude of the most obstinate sinful soul. This, then, is what occurs in the case of priests who are animated with great devotion to the Sacred Heart.

11th Promise -- "Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be effaced."

This Promise holds out to promoters of devotion to the Sacred Heart a wonderful reward--they "shall have their names written in My Heart." These words imply a strong and faithful friendship of Christ Himself, and present to us "the Book of Life" of St. John: "I will not blot his name out of the book of life." (Apoc. 3, 5)

12th Promise -- "To those who shall communicate on the First Friday, for nine consecutive months, I will grant the grace of final penitence."

This Promise contains a great reward, which is nothing less than heaven. "Final perseverance is a gratuitous gift of God's goodness, and cannot be merited as an acquired right by any individual act of ours." (Council of Trent) It is given as the reward for a series of acts continued to the end: "He who has persevered to the end will be saved." (Matt. 10, 22)

Kurtis Trent Spin-off Game. Level Synopsis

We’ve received a number of documents on the abandoned Kurtis Trent spin-off game, a prequel to Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. These were sent to us anonymously. This particular anonymous contributor has sent a number of screenshots and documents to us in the past and they were eventually verified by members of the Core Design team. As such, we have no doubts about the authenticity of these documents.

Synopsis v1

Kurtis is approached by a priest and asked to come to a house where there is a severe case of demonic possession.

During the car journey the priest tells a tale of a normal happy child turned by degrees into a demonic creature gifted with destructive paranormal powers. The priest has been working with the child for over a month but now things have gone too far and he has come to Kurtis with a request – kill the child.

Kurtis is shocked but before he can argue the car pulls up outside an ordinary looking suburban home – but something has happened while the priest was away.

A police car is parked in the drive, lights flashing, the doors open with the radio requesting the patrols location.

On entering the house they find the child’s parents burned and torn bodies littering the floor – the cops called to the disturbance murdered in much the same way.

They cautiously enter the child’s bedroom and find a boy of twelve sitting on the bed playing a computer game.

“Kill it!” urges the priest and Kurtis draws his pistol, unsure if he can shoot a child.

Suddenly a woman appears behind him holding a pistol.

She is under the child’s influence and opens fire, killing the priest and wounding Kurtis before being shot down herself.

Kurtis staggers to his feet and turns to face the child but the bed is empty.

With no time to lose Kurtis begins a hunt for the boy – realizing that this is more than possession, but a demonic changeling – an exact copy that is cared for by its unsuspecting human parents until maturity when it will hatch into its true form.

They can only hope that the missing alter-ego of the demon child is still alive somewhere and that they get to him before time runs out.

Meanwhile the changeling is recruiting a small army of thugs to protect itself from Kurtis.

The energy from these enslaved drones is food to the demon-child and the more weak minds it recruits the more it will grow in power.

But killing it isn’t an option when Kurtis realizes that to do so will also kill the abducted human child.

Eventually Kurtis tracks down and defeats the changeling. Using the creature as a key he unlocks a doorway into another dimension and sets out to rescue the missing boy.

This world is a demonic reality and one where our physical laws do not apply.

Kurtis’ guns will only slow down the creatures in this dark realm and he must use all of the paranormal powers learned in the hunt for the changeling to rescue the abducted child and return it to our world where the boys appearance will banish the evil changeling back to the dark dimensions.

Level 1 – Hospital

The level starts with Kurtis in the hospital reception.

He must locate the Professor who will give him information about the case.

The hospital has been ransacked. Dead bodies are everywhere.

Survivors are dangerous.

Whole walls and floors have been blown away making exploration difficult.

The Professor is in his laboratory, a bandage wraped around his forehead, arm in a sling.

He tells Kurtis that the patient he was studying is gifted with extremely dangerous paranormal powers. These powers have been unleashed, hence the wrecked hospital and dead bodies.

Kurtis continues his search while the Professor (wounded), stays put.

Using his paranormal sense he tracks the patient down in the morgue. The patient is an eleven year old boy.

The boy says nothing but makes a sign with his hand. The storage lockers slide open and the dead rise to attack Kurtis. The boy smashes up through the ceiling leaves Kurtis to fight the dead.

Kurtis escapes and following his senses he heads for the roof. The police are now searching the hospital, and Kurtis has to avoid them.

On the roof he confronts the boy, who escapes.

The police make it to the roof and Kurtis has to work his way down the fire-escapes on the outside of the building. Avoid the helicopter search lights and police search squads.

On the ground and Kurtis gets into his truck. The Professor is waiting for him.

Professor says – “You can’t kill the demon child. You must find and return the abducted human to our world. That will weaken the demon to a point where you can kill it.”

Level 2 – Triad Fortess

Kurtis tracks down the boy to Chinatown. He is being protected in a Triad fortress.

Kurtis fights his way inside and searches the building.

The Triad soldiers defend every inch of ground.

Kurtis confronts the Triad boss. He aura scans the boss and realizes that the boy has shape changed into this fat criminal. Before Kurtis can move the Triad boss touches a Siamese cat that darts out of the window. (This is how the Anti-Christ transfers himself from host to host.)

Kurtis fights and defeats the Triad boss, but he has let the demon child escape.

Level 3 – Gothic Mansion

Two months later …

Kurtis breaks into the creepy mansion of billionaire software entrepreneur Dr Phil Yates.

The Dr is building a complex software system for the US military.

Kurtis’ paranormal investigations have led him to this place, now he goes into action, fighting and exploring his way to the nerve center of the Dr’s empire.

In the Dr’s study.

(Washing itself by the fire is the cat from Level 2.)

Meanwhile the Dr is delivering the final part of the software system. An air force Colonel takes the briefcase from the Dr and shakes his hand. The Anti-Christ transfers itself into the Colonel who leaves the mansion.

Seconds later Kurtis bursts in and scans the Dr for a paranormal aura but nothing shows up. He beats him up for the hell of it and gets the key to the computer system hidden in the Dr’s study.

From this he learns the location of the military base.

Level 4 – Military Base

Kurtis infiltrates the base.

Fights the soldiers, uses his paranormal powers to evade the security defenses.

Discovers the train carrying the nuclear missiles.

(Realizes that the Anti-Christ plans to launch the missiles, start Armageddon blah, blah.)

Confronts the Colonel. Kills him. The Anti-Christ appears in its original child like form.

It opens a gateway and demon warriors teleport in to protect it. Kurtis fights and wins, then turns to finish off the Anti-Christ.

The Anti-Christ shows Kurtis a vision of the imprisoned human child that was abducted when the demons swapped the boy for the Anti-Christ. “ If you kill me – he dies too!”

Kurtis dives through the gateway into the demon realm – now he is on a rescue mission to get the human child back.

Level 5 – Demon Realm – Desert and Dark Citadel – Level 1

Kurtis is standing in a desert. In the distance towers the Dark Citadel, a huge city rising from the arid plain.

Kurtis must make his way to the Dark Citadel, avoiding the creatures and vehicles that populate the desert.

When he has crossed the desert he has to enter the lower level of the Dark Citadel.

This level of the Citadel is the ‘engine room’, supplying power to the upper levels of the fortress.

Grinding wheels, furnaces and gantries are everywhere.

Kurtis must explore and fight his way through this industrial hell.

Level 6 – Demon Realm – Dark Citadel Level 2

This part of the Citadel is a stone fortress.

Draw bridges, battlements, dungeons. Heavily fortified and defended.

Kurtis must explore and fight his way upwards where the palace rises from the center of the fortress.

Level 7 – Dark Citadel – Level 3

The human child is held prisoner in the palace.

The palace is a gothic marble clad nightmare. The proportions are huge. Vaulted ceilings and wide concourses make Kurtis look small and vulnerable.

Kurtis must fight and explore his way to the throne room. Here the human child is held prisoner in a glass dome.

Defeat the Devil Master and release the boy.

Teleport out of the demon realm back to the military base in Level 4.

Level 8 – Final Confrontation

Kurtis returns with the human child. The presence of the boy will weaken the Anti-Christ and force it to return to its true form.

A head to head battle with the Anti-Christ takes place. Kurtis must use his shield to keep the human child alive while he fights.

Kurtis forces the Anti-Christ to reveal its true demonic form and the creature escapes death by leaping onto the moving missile train as it passes by.

Kurtis leaves the human child and follows, jumping onto the last train wagon.

Kurtis must now fight his way up the moving train to the control car and stop the Anti-Christ from launching the nuclear missiles.

With seconds to spare Kurtis manages to stop the main missile launch, but the Anti-Christ hot wires a nuke and the missile hurtles skyward.

Kurtis has to stop the nuke so he trans-mutates into an Arch Angel and launches himself into the sky.

Over Washington DC - Kurtis and the Anti-Christ fight in an air-to-air duel.

Alerted to the incoming missile strike, the army has soldiers firing Stinger missiles from the rooftops and helicopter gun ships patrolling the skies. The military has orders to shoot at both Kurtis and the demon.

Kurtis defeats the Anti-Christ and absorbs the missiles nuclear blast.

He tumbles from the sky, hitting the pavement with a thud.

His spectacular paranormal powers are now burned out. He is mortal again.

A car pulls up. The Professor offers him a ride. Kurtis gets in. The car pulls away.

Game completed.

Synopsis v2

A dark night in the city.

Trash blows across the parking lot, the ground wet and flickering under the bright lights of the emergency vehicles parked behind a cordon of police cruisers.

Cautious cops approach the shattered building, double handed grip on their drawn firearms. A sign flaps in the wind – “City Hospital – Main Entrance”

Kurtis stands in the accident and emergency department. The place is a mess.

“Looks like someone started a war in here.” Walking further into the hospital’s corridors confirms Kurtis’ assessment. Something bad has gone down tonight and mixed up in it is the Professor.

Kurtis heads for the Professor’s office. The door is open, glass crunches under his feet as he enters. No one at home – but a sound from the bathroom attracts Kurtis’ attention.

The Professor is alive, sitting on the floor and nursing a damaged arm.

“I got your message – looks like I’m too late.” says Kurtis.

“No. It’s my fault – I thought I could contain it. But it’s growing all the time and …” The Professor looks at Kurtis with haunted eyes. “We have to find it – if it escapes into the city …”

“I understand.” Kurtis draws his weapon and disappears into the devastation - the demon hunter is back in business.

But what Kurtis believes is just another bug hunt quickly becomes a ride into the unknown – for this is no routine exorcism but a demonic plan to slide the world into a nuclear fueled Armageddon.

“Demon Spawn”, utters the Professor under his breath.

It is later and the Professor and Kurtis drive the dark streets hoping to pick up a trace of their escaped quarry.

Kurtis glances at the Professor.

He continues,,“The Spawn is an exact copy of the human child – not even the parents would suspect. But somehow through transference they become linked, and to kill one is to destroy the other. This creature also has the ability to steal any animals shape, but will revert back to its original form when weakened.”

Kurtis checks the mirrors. “So you’re telling me I got something that looks like a kid, got the power to chew up hospitals for kicks and can change its shape at any time – but I can’t zap it because the host kid will croak simultaneously?

The Professor stares grimly into the night, “Return the lost child to our world Kurtis – it’s our only hope of stopping whatever it is planning to do!”

The hunt will take Kurtis from the criminal underworld of the city streets to the top of corporate America before crossing the dimensions into the Dark Citadel to rescue the lost child.

And all the while the countdown to annihilation is ticking …

Level 1 – Hospital

The level starts with Kurtis in the city hospital.
