“How striking is its actuality today! Everywhere sin is increasing to an appalling degree. The pride of man leads him to discard his God and attempt to make a paradise of earth. He has so far succeeded only in making it a vestibule of Hell, where impiety, immorality, and the worst passions have free scope; wars rage that are more terrible than any yet heard of, the majority of mankind suffers poverty and slavery, and all without the comfort which faith alone can impart.”
― Sister Josefa Menendez, The Way of Divine Love

Evening prayer of reparation to the Eternal Father

Our Lord revealed to Sister Josefa Menendez, " During the night, you will rest in My Heart. My Heart will listen to the beats of yours, which will be so many acts of love and desire. Thus even while you are sleeping, you will bring back to Me souls who offend Me.
Ask forgiveness for the whole world,especially for those that know Me and yet sin.
Offer yourself in reparation" Below is the resulting prayer

Eternal Father,
I desire to rest in Thy Heart this night.
I make the intention of offering to Thee
every beat of my heart,
joining to them as many acts of love and desire.
I pray that even while I am asleep,
I will bring back to Thee souls that offend Thee.
I ask forgiveness for the whole world,
especially for those who know Thee and yet sin.
I offer to Thee my every breath and heartbeat
as a prayer of reparation.
Amen.

Offer to God your nights rest, every beat of your heart and every breath you take. This good intention will make even those unconscious acts full of merit.
Pray one Hail Mary as well

Secrets of the Passion

Continuing on with page Pg 275
O God most Holy and Just...Father of all clemency and of infinite goodness, Thou who didst create man out of love and through love hast made him heir to eternal blessings; if he has sinned against Thee through frailty and if he deserves chastisement; accept the merits of Thy Son who offers Himself to Thee as a Victim of expiation. By those divine merits,O My Father, pity and mercy for souls. Amen

Pg 276
O God infinitely holy, Father infinitely merciful, I adore Thee. I long to expiate the insults heaped upon Thee by sinners all over the world and at every moment of the day and night.
Would that I could at least repair for those being committed at this hour.
O My Father, I offer Thee all the acts of adoration and reparation made by souls who love Thee.
Above all, I offer Thee Thy Divine Son, immolated on the altar in every corner of the world at every moment of this hour.
O Father,infinitely good and compassionate, accept His pure Blood in reparation for all the outrages committed by Mankind, wipe out their sins and have mercy on them.
Jesus told Josefa "offer your whole being in reparation for so many sins and to satisfy the Divine Justice"

Pg 278 O My Father, have pity on souls. Do not chastise them as they deserve, but have mercy on them according to the entreaties of Thy Son. I long to make reparation for their sins, and render Thee the glory which is due to Thee, O God infinitely Holy. But cast Thine eyes on Thy Son, He is the Victim who will expiate all these sins. Amen

Pg 280
Jesus told Josefa "Josefa, let your soul be seized today by an ardent desire to see all souls,especially sinners, come and purify themselves in the waters of repentance. Let them give themselves up to the thoughts of confidence, not fear, for I am a God of pity,ever ready to receive them into My Heart"

Pg 287
O My Father, whilst these sinners offend Thy Sovereign Majesty and furiously outrage the Blood of Thy Son, look upon this willing victim which united to My Heart suffers and makes reparation. Deign to receive her sufferings in union with My merits, O Father of all goodness...

The importance of prayers of reparation and conversion

Page 269 "When a soul prays for a sinner with an intense desire for his conversion, his prayer generally obtains the sinner's conversion, though sometimes only at the last moment and the offense given to My Heart is repaired.
But in any case, prayer is never lost, for on the one hand, it consoles Me for the pain sin has occasioned, and on the other, its efficacy and power are applied, if not to that sinner, then to others better disposed to profit by it".

"Let this be your constant prayer, Josefa: Eternal Father, who out of love for mankind gavest Thy Beloved Son up to death, by His Blood, by His Merits and by His Heart, have pity on the whole world, and forgive all the sins that are committed.
Receive the humble reparation, offered Thee by Thy chosen souls. Unite it to the merits of Thy Divine Son, So that all they do may be very effective.
Eternal Father, have pity on souls and remember that the time has not yet come for the strict justice but for mercy. Amen"

Page 271 Act of Reparation: "O God infinitely Holy, I adore Thee, Humbly prostrate in thy Presence. I beg of Thee in the name of Thy Divine Son to pardon the many sinners who offend Thee. I offer Thee my life and I long to repair for so much ingratitude"

Oh Heart of Jesus

Jesus says to Josefa " I want you to burn with love of Me. I have already made it clear to you that you will find happiness nowhere but in My Heart. I want you to love me...I hunger for love...but I also want you to burn with desire to see Me loved, and this must be the one food of your soul"
Josefa told Jesus many endearing thing and He continued; Every day after Communion repeat with all the fervor of which you are capable:
"Heart of Jesus, may the whole world be set on fire with Thy Love"

Jesus explained to Josefa how to love enhances the smallest acts:
"When a soul does a costly act out of self-interest or to please herself, but not out of love, she gains little merit.
On the other hand, a very little thing offered with great love consoles My Heart so much that it inclines towards her, and forgets all her
worthlessness. Yes, My one desire is to be loved. If souls but knew the excess of My love they would not disregard it...that is why I go seeking them out and spare nothing to get them to come back to Me"
Josefa says Jesus said all of this in a very moving way; it was a veritable cry of Love.

"Much Blood poured from the wound in His Heart"

July 29th at 1PM
Jesus returned with His Cross. "I have come to make you share in the bitterness of My Heart, which is oppressed with sorrow"

Jesus gave Josefa His Cross, which at once plunged her whole being into the pain she already experienced these last 2 days.

"Much blood poured from the wound in His Heart" Jesus told her to repeat after Him
"Eternal Father,look upon souls reddened with the blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ, the Victim which is unceasingly offered Thee. Will this blood which purifies, burns and consumes, be powerful enough to touch these souls?

Jesus remained in silence for a few minutes. Josefa repeated the words several times; then He spoke with energy; "yes, I want them to return to Me. I want them to burn with love, while I am consumed for them with sorrowful "
Jesus added sadly "Ah, if souls only understood how ardently I desire to communicate Myself to them! But how few do understand...and how deeply this wounds My Heart"

Josefa writes "From 1-4pm I spent in offering His blood and all His merits to the Father, and in repeating the prayer He had taught me"

Feast of the Sacred Heart

Chapter 4 page 110
Concerning the souls of Three Priests and a sinner, and two Chosen Souls.

This was given to Josefa during the time of the Feast of the Sacred Heart June 1st-July 1921.
The Lord explains to Josefa the importance of the souls of His Priests and he gave her a prayer to say everyday.....

"You will repeat these words everyday"

"O Jesus, by Thy Love and glory all the priests of the world, all missionaries and those whose office it is to preach Thy Word, that on fire with holy zeal, they may snatch souls from the devil and lead them into the shelter of Thy Heart, where forever they may glorify Thee.
Amen"

Josefa never forgot that Feast of the Sacred Heart. She had witnessed the infinite joy of the Sacred Heart when His priests give Him all the love they owe Him.

The prayer He had taught her became her daily petition and priestly souls the first and biggest intention of her consecrated life.
A little secret note found only after her death proves that at this time Our Lord kept the thought of the missions constantly before her eyes.
