God the Father

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, creator of Heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. These are the first words of our Creed.

This great gift of believing in God without seeing Him is the gift [Hebrews 11:1] of our Faith, it has been given by God Himself because all gifts come from Him. God is the source of all things, in fact in Him we move, we live and we have our being.[Acts 17:28]

God is One, but He is also three persons. God the Father is the uncreated Spirit, infinite source of existence, eternal being with no beginning or end, the causeless cause. He lives in Heaven surrounded by His Majesty and perfections, He is clothed with unreachable light. He is the Almighty, all knowing and all loving God. He is Father of all, the Omnipotent.

God has spoken through the person of His Son, Who is the Word of God, emanated or eternally generated from the Father and yet united to Him in such intimate Love that they are always One and they are always together.

Jesus, the Son of God, the only begotten of the Father is also God even though He clothed Himself with our humanity and appeared before us as a man [John 1:14], through Him all things were made and nothing exists unless created by Him.

Jesus is the Son of the Living God, also the son of Mary, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity Who became man in order to save us from eternal damnation.

The third person of the Holy Trinity is the Holy Spirit Who proceeds from the Father and the Son, He is equally God in infinite perfections and immutability, He is One with the Father and the Son, as a person of the Holy Trinity we understand Him to be the eternally generated Love of God the Father and God the Son, He is the sanctifying Spirit that fills the temples of our beings. The Holy Spirit permeates creation with His binding Love in His eternal Omnipresence.

God is not separated or divided because He is One, He merely appears as different persons in order to express His infinite fullness which is incomprehensible by finite creatures. Just as a man can not divide his body from his mind, soul and spirit; God is not divided. His works are perfect, His thoughts and ways are above those of all His creatures, His Majesty and power is unequalled, His infinite merciful Love is unfathomable and it is the gift by which we are saved.

God is omnipresent, because God is Spirit; God the Father has loved the world so much that He has given it His only begotten Son, so that anyone who believes in Him can be saved [John 3:16].

Coming down to the things of our world, God has created us in His image, so that we can be His sons and daughters. God created Adam and Eve in His own image, He granted them immortality and He filled them with His riches. However sin entered the world and they lost their inheritance and their immortality. God placed a curse on them: "you are dust and to dust shall you return." We are sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, therefore we have inherited not only original sin which provoked the anger of God but we have been given a frail nature, subject to temptation, suffering, decease, pain and death.

God in His Infinite Love seeing the misery of His creatures, has condescended to redeem us from this curse and in the Person of His Son has taken upon Himself the punishment due for our sins [Galatians 3:13], in order to save us, He has offered His works, His body, His sufferings and His life as a sacrifice in atonement for our sins so that in Him we can find eternal Life.

Heavenly Father, help us

by Joseph of Jesus and Mary

Heavenly Father, in the name of Your beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the merits of His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, I come to implore You the expulsion of Satan from the world.   
   
I offer You also the merits of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the hearts of all your saints.   
   
I beseech and implore, that You send your angels to the final battle against Satan, to clean and restore this world to the purity that You conceived originally.    
   
Holy Mother of God, in the name of the Love that You have for us your children, I beg you to command Your angels to expel the evil spirits, that are damaging so many souls.     
   
Saint Michael the Archangel, by the Power of God the Father, I adjure You to drive away the spirit of Lucifer from the hearts of all human beings in which he destroys the image of God, which I consecrate now to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, to be purified and healed by the power of the Holy Spirit.    
   
Saint Gabriel the Archangel, by the Wisdom of God, I adjure You to teach us the Word of God, to illumine us with Your Light and to engrave our hearts with the mark or the elect.    
Saint Raphael the Archangel, by the Love of God, I adjure You to take away from us anything that does not conform to the Love of God and enkindle us with the love flames of the hearts of Jesus and Mary.    
   
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus and Mary, forgive us, your children, protect us and deliver us from evil. Amen.
