Sacred Penetentiary, January 15, 1924.

These two invocations were taught by Our Lord to Sr. M. Martha
Chambon, deceased, in the Visitation of Chambery, France, March
21, 1907. The Sister received from Our Lord a double “Misson”:
constantly to invoke the HOLY WOUNDS herself, and to revivethis devotion in the world.

Promises of Our Lord to Sr. Mary Martha
“I will grant all that is asked of me by the invocation of My HOLY WOUNDS. You must spread the devotion.”
ADELA MARIA, PERHAPS WE MIGHT SAY THIS NOVENA DAILY AND TELL OTHERS ALSO?
PROMISES OF OUR LORD MADE TO SISTER MARY MARTHA “THE CHAPLET OF MERCY IS A COUNTERPOISE TO MY JUSTICE, IT RESTRAINS MY VENGEANCE.”
“at each word you pronounce of the chaplet of mercy.I allow a drop of my blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.”
Divine Will: Heavenly Father, with the Holy Spirit following Our Lady’s Lessons in union:

Step one: With Mary, I sacrifice my human will in honor of God.
Step two: With Mary I empty myself of my human will to constitute the Divine Will as Principle of Life of my soul.
Step three: With Mary, I decide with a firm resolution to no longer give life to my human will.
Step four: With Mary, I give to You, my God, my human will as proof, giving my “Fiat!” and my acceptance of Your test.
Step five: With Mary, I make the sacrifice of living without my human will, and bind it to the foot of the Divine Throne of God, for my entire life, without ever giving life to my human will.
Step six: O Most Holy Divine Fiat, in Unity with Mother Mary and Luisa, allow my soul to take possession of all the Divine Qualities as much as is possible and imaginable for a soul.
I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
From: Divine will, prayer to be said daily for the gift of the Divine Will of God.

About Suffering…
WE ALL SUFFER AND WE ALL MUST DO PENANCE. PENANCE FOR OUR SINS. SINS AGAINST THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; THE CHURCH, AND OURSELVES, OTHERS; SINS OF OMISSION.
IF we do not we shall have long years of suffering in the awful fires of Purgatory. This fire is the same fire as the fire of Hell.
Now if we offer our sufferings, the very little ones as well as the greater ones, in union with the sufferings of Jesus, we are doing the easiest and best penance we can perform. We may thus deliver ourselves entirely from Purgatory, while, at the same time, gaining the greatest graces and blessings.
Let us remember clearly that:
1. Sufferings come from God for our benefit.
2. We derive immense merits from every suffering borne patiently even the little suffering of our daily life.
3. God will give us abundant strength to bear our sufferings if we only ask Him.
4. If we bear our sufferings patiently they lose their sting and bitterness
5. Above all every suffering is a share in the Passion of the Lord.
6. By our sufferings we can free ourselves in great part or entirely from the pains of Purgatory.
7. By bearing our sufferings patiently we win the glorious crown of martyrdom.
Of course we may do all in our power to avoid or lessen our sufferings but we cannot avoid all suffering. Therefore, it is clearly necessary for us to learn how to bear them.
In a word we must understand clearly that if we remain calm, serene and patient suffering loses all its sting but the moment we get excited the smallest suffering increases a hundredfold.
It is just as if we have a sore arm or leg and rub it violently it becomes irritated and painful whereas if we touch it gently we soothe the irritation.
We suffer from ill health, from pains, headaches, rheumatism, arthritis, from accidents, from enemies. Some suffer from weeks in their homes, some in hospitals or nursing homes. In a word we are all in a vale of tears. Almighty God could have saved us from all suffering, but He did not do so because He knows in His infinite goodness that we must offer our share along with His to the Father in reparation.
We have a great, great, remedy in our hands viz., prayer. We should pray earnestly and constantly, asking God to help us to suffer, to console us, or, if it pleases Him, to deliver us from suffering. This is all, all important.
A very eminent doctor says in an able article he recently published in the secular press that Prayer is the greatest power in the world”. He says, “and my colleagues frequently see that many of our patients whom we have failed to cure of whose pains we have failed to alleviate have cured themselves by prayer, I speak now not of the prayers of holy people but the prayers of ordinary Christians.”
We should above all pray to the Mother of God in all our troubles. We should ask Her by the oceans of sorrow She felt during the Passion of Our Lord to help us. God gave Her all the immense graces necessary to make Her the perfect Mother of God, but, He also gave Her, all the graces, the tenderness, the love necessary to be our most perfect and loving Mother. No mother on earth ever loved a child as Our Blessed Lady loved her baby Jesus…and as she loves us. Therefore, in all our troubles and sorrows; let us go to Our Blessed Lady with unbounded confidence.
Our Lady of Ephesus..my mother, Mother of God, pray for me…help me to trust in Your Immaculate Heart.

Mary’s hair was loose around her forehead. She wore a sheer veil, pale in color, which seemed to be folded back on her head and to fall longer than her shoulders. Mrs. Fraser remembered so well thinking of those beautiful amber eyes, so very round and full that all creation could be seen in them. She simply couldn’t take her eyes from Mary’s face and so she was unable to describe anything else that Mary wore.
