**(Verbal. The Bishop himself offered his life according to the request of **
Our Lady which follows.)
****LIFE OFFERING TO THE INTENTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
**The following messages, prayers and promises were received by a privileged **
**Hungarian nun, a consoling soul, who in her humility and obedience to her **
**spiritual director wishes to remain anonymous. Mary, Our Heavenly Mother, **
**implores those who receive Holy Communion daily,or at least weekly, to **
**offer their lives to the glory of God and to save their souls,that they may **
not be damned but will receive, at their last hour, the graces of eternal life
******THE FIVE PROMISES OF OUR HEAVENLY MOTHER TO THOSE WHO OFFER THEIR LIVES TO **
HER
1. "Their name will be written in the hearts of Jesus and Mary,inflamed by love."
2. "Their life offerings, together with the infinite merits of Jesus,can save many souls from damnation."
**3. "None of their family members will go to hell, even if it seems **
**otherwise, because they will receive in the depths of their souls the **
graces of sincere contrition before the soul departs from their bodies."
4. "On the day they offer their lives, their loved ones suffering in Purgatory will be released."
**5. "I will be with them in the hour of their deaths. They will not know **
**Purgatory. I will carry them in their souls straight to the presence of the **
**Glorious Trinity, where they will live with Me in a special place created **
by God and will rejoice forever"
THE TEXT OF THE LIFE OFFERING (1955)
"My dear Jesus, before the Trinity, Our Heavenly Mother,
and the whole Heavenly Court, united with Your Most Precious Sacred Blood
and Your Sacrifice on Calvary, hereby I offer my whole life to the intention of
Your Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Together with my life
I place at Your disposal all Holy Masses, all my Holy Communions,
all my good deeds, all my sacrifices, and the sufferings of my entire life
for the adoration and supplication of the Holy Trinity,
for unity in our Holy Mother Church, for the Holy Father and for priests,
**for good priestly vocations, and for all souls until the end of the **
world.
O my Jesus, please accept my life sacrifice and my offerings and give
me Your grace that I may persevere obediently until my death. Amen."
**This life offering must be done with humble heart, firm resolution and **
clear intent.
**All prayer, good deeds, suffering and work done with pure intention has **
great merit,
**if it is offered together with the merits, the sufferings and the blood of **
Jesus Christ.
It is recommended to do this life offering as soon as you feel ready, and
renew it from time to time.
