Holy Triduum: Cleansing Our Family Tree




Holy Prayer Warriors; Sent to earth to aid in the salvation of souls for these trying of times, and in this unique stage of human history, it is crucial to be spiritually cleansed in ways we perhaps didn't realize.

During this Holy, sacred week, there is a lot of spiritual warfare. The Lord of Hosts is preparing His soldiers for the days ahead and He wants us strengthened. We may not realize it, but many of us have been weakened by unknown forces for a long time, perhaps since we have been born. It is time to be set free, to eliminate needless assaults so we can be more focused on the immense need of lost souls right now.

I have been sensing a strong connection to the people of heaven lately; family, friends, prolife warriors who have passed, saints, angels. Sensing their presence along side us, doing what they can to assist souls in trouble. I sense urgency, but a peaceful joy from these breezes from our heavenly family. It is important to recognize our value, our importance in the unfolding of history. Our prayers carry FAR more weight than we ever imagined.



It is important to create a prayer climate wherever we are, but we must realize that God knows we are busy with daily duty and the demands of our jobs and family. He wants us to OFFER, lovingly - our obedience to daily duty to our families and chores; as an incense of labor and love, as prayer sent to heaven. God hears. God sees. God knows. He knows our hearts. He wants that open communication with Him now, and He needs his soldiers listening to Him, no matter where we are, or what we are doing. He will send us little signs like whispers, if we will only recognize His presence in every breath we take. He will also show us miracles via the Holy Mass and the Holy Rosary. We are going to see an escalation of answers, and 'miracles' from our prayers.

In order to live more centered within God's Will in our families, God wants to give us 'a good scrubbin'. He wants us cleaned up. Being a generation late in human history, our family trees may have become contaminated with undesirable bondages, disorders, sinful tendencies because of our ancestors, the typical junk accumulated from being human through the generations and the fall of Adam. Some contamination more serious than others. It is time to present our family trees to the altar of God.

It would be best to have masses offered for our family trees, and I urge you to have this done as soon as you can. And during this most Holy Triduum, pray this powerful prayer each day, with concentration, focus, and great reverence:


Prayer for Healing the Family Tree


Rev. John H. Hampsch, CMF



"Heavenly Father, I come before you as your child, in great need of your help; I have physical health needs, emotional needs, spiritual needs, and interpersonal needs. Many of my problems have been caused by my own failures, neglect and sinfulness, for which I humbly beg your forgiveness, Lord. But I also ask you to forgive the sins of my ancestors whose failures have left their effects on me in the form of unwanted tendencies, behavior patterns and defects in body, mind and spirit. Heal me, Lord, of all these disorders.

With your help I sincerely forgive everyone, especially living or dead members of my family tree, who have directly offended me or my loved ones in any way, or those whose sins have resulted in our present sufferings and disorders. In the name of your divine Son, Jesus, and in the power of his Holy Spirit, I ask you, Father, to deliver me and my entire family tree from the influence of the evil one. Free all living and dead members of my family tree, including those in adoptive relationships, and those in extended family relationships, from every contaminating form of bondage. By your loving concern for us, heavenly Father, and by the shed blood of your precious Son, Jesus, I beg you to extend your blessing to me and to all my living and deceased relatives. Heal every negative effect transmitted through all past generations, and prevent such negative effects in future generations of my family tree.

I symbolically place the cross of Jesus over the head of each person in my family tree, and between each generation; I ask you to let the cleansing blood of Jesus purify the bloodlines in my family lineage. Set your protective angels to encamp around us, and permit Archangel Raphael, the patron of healing, to administer your divine healing power to all of us, even in areas of genetic disability. Give special power to our family members' guardian angels to heal, protect, guide and encourage each of us in all our needs. Let your healing power be released at this very moment, and let it continue as long as your sovereignty permits.

In our family tree, Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding in family love. And let there be an ever-deeper bonding with you, Lord, by the Holy Spirit, to your Son, Jesus. Let the family of the Holy Trinity pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence, so that our family may recognize and manifest that love in all our relationships. All of our unknown needs we include with this petition that we pray in Jesus' precious Name. Amen.
+++++++++++++++St. Joseph, Patron of family life, pray for us."



Emmanuel - God is With Us!!
