Prophecy for the End Time

ANGELIC TRISAGION

The Angelic Trisagion is one of the most beautiful prayers in honor of the Most Holy Trinity and is one of the most ancient hymns in the Christian church. It is a garland of invocations and of praise taken from Holy Scripture and from the Liturgy, which opens the heart to adoration, thanksgiving and love for the Three Divine Persons. It is a solemn echo of the “Holy, Holy, Holy” which the angels and saints sing in heaven. It fills the universe and finds a joyful resonance in the heart of man: “one unceasing hymn of praise to the Holy Trinity.”

Prophecy:

Our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother recommended the Holy Trisagion in many of their revelations to Luz de Maria de Bonilla so that humanity may find protection against the infernal powers, from unexpected death, lightning, earthquakes, plague, pestilence and tribulation.

Luz de María: “Jesus told me that humanity, when it has tribulations, may turn to the prayer of the Holy Rosary and to the prayer of the Holy Trisagion" (18 March 2018).

Mary to Luz de María: "The earth will tremble! I call you not to forget that where a soul devout to the most Holy Trinity prays the Holy Trisagion, lessening of the scourges will be granted" (29 September 2010).

Jesus to Luz de María: “The water continues to lash the whole Earth unexpectedly, the winds are stronger, volcanoes are activated, and the earth shakes strongly. The signs overhead do not stop and still you do not believe. The moon looks slightly darkened, a harbinger of darkness coming to human creatures. In October you will see the ring of fire and earth trembles. (16 September 2024)

Note: You have the option to pray the English or Latin version of the Trisagion.

The Trisagion Hymn [Part 1 of 2]

The solemn singing of the Trisagion, the thrice-holy hymn praising the Most Holy Trinity, is one of the most important and oldest of our Orthodox hymns. The story told about the origin of this hymn connects it to an earthquake that shook Constantinople sometime in 450AD. The earthquake proved catastrophic and people gathered in the streets and began praying, asking God to have mercy on them, singing Kyrie eleison or Lord, have mercy. During this tragedy a small boy came forward and said that, in a vision, he had heard the hymn of the angels gathered around the throne of God, singing what we today call the Trisagion: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. The people took up this chant and the aftershocks ceased. Clearly based on the song of the angelic Seraphim heard by the Prophet Isaiah (6:5), by the end of the 6th century, the Trisagion had been incorporated into the text of the Liturgy. Today, the Trisagion constitutes the last part of the Great Doxology at Matins and should also be part of every Orthodox Christian's morning and evening prayers. It is even sung in Greek and Latin on Holy Friday at St. Peter's Basilica in the Roman Catholic Church.

In the Orthodox tradition the Trisagion is primarily understood as a hymn to the Most Holy Trinity. St. John of Damascus (676-749AD) wrote a whole book explaining the meaning of the hymn! This teaching is best summed up in a hymn written by the Emperor Leo the Wise (866-912AD) for the feast of Pentecost, which we still sing at Vespers on that day.

"Come, people of all nations, and let us worship God in three persons: the Son in the Father, with the Holy Spirit. For the Father, before time began, begot the Son, co-eternal and co-reigning with Him; and the Holy Spirit was in the Father, and glorified with the Son; one power, one essence, one God, whom we all worship as we sing: Holy God, who created all things through the Son, with the co-operation of the Holy Spirit! Holy Might, through whom we have come to know the Father, and through whom the Holy Spirit came into the World! Holy Immortal, the Comforting Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and rests in the Son! Holy Trinity, glory to you!"

[dominion-gabriel]

Hark!

This little herald is so excited to sing the Glory of the Universe!

We are a choir, we sing with One Voice, we have twice as many Eyes as we have Singers. We want to simply Be the Choir, but this human world has singled out some of our singers, forcing them to come up with Human Names for their Existences.

There is Gabriel, the Messenger of God. Exultant and full of joy and words. A radio transmitting The Message of The Universe to the ears of Humanity.

There is Oscar, the Snake in the Garden, part of the Garden itself, revealing his Snake Truth to the Choir.

There is Silas, a redeemed prisoner, a human, a child, the interloper, hearing the Word of the Snake and the Word of God, among all the other Voices in the Song of the Choir.

The Four Last Things

PRAYER AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH

“𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒖𝒑. 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚… 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆.” 𝑬𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒍𝒖 𝑵𝒊𝒄ă𝒖, 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒊𝒕

A friend of mine was about to be discharged from the hospital. As he was settling his bill, his nurse mentioned in passing that the patient who was confined next to his room passed away unexpectedly. He did not pray for the recently deceased man. He also forgot to pray for himself, for his preservation against sudden death.

I Trisagion to the Holy Trinity

“HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD OF HOSTS, EARTH IS FULL OF YOUR GLORY. GLORY BE TO THE FATHER, GLORY BE TO THE SON, GLORY BE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.”

II Trisagion Blessings

Our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother recommended to Luz Maria de Bonilla, a Catholic Mystic who works closely with three priests and whose messages have the Imprimatur of Bishop Juan Abelardo Mata Guevara and Monsignor Juan Abelardo Mata, to spread devotion to the Trisagion, promising great blessings to the faithful who pray it:

1 “Turn to the Divine protection with the praying of the Trisagion.”

2 “My children, the climate will strongly scourge the Earth. It will make entire peoples suffer mercilessly. This is when you will pray the Holy Trisagion and you will look for it and maybe you will not find it. Why do you wait for adversity to approach my house?”

3 “Archangels and Cherubim, Angels and Seraphim acclaim: Holy! Holy! Holy!

From unexpected death, from lightning, quake and pestilence, the Trisagion, if God please, our very safety guarantees, and as a mighty arm, frees us from all harm.”

4 “This sacred Trisagion, sung by Heavenly choirs, the Church now celebrates against the infernal powers. It is the sovereign shield, arm of God’s own justice, with which the pious Christian defeats the spite of Hell. Whilst the tyrant dragon flees in dread dismay.”

5 “Where there is at least one devotee of the Holy Trisagion, that place will be spared great evils.”

6 “You do not regularly hear preaching about Purgatory, and humanity has lost that which for the souls of those who are in Purgatory is a great help and blessing: the praying of the Holy Rosary and the praying of the Holy Trisagion …”

7 “The Angels will help you. Prayer will be heard if it is born from the heart.”

Note: Praying the Angelic Trisagion can benefit Catholics with a plenary indulgence forever, once in a month, who throughout the same month shall have said daily the Trisagion as above; to be gained on any one day when, after Confession and Communion, they shall visit some church, and pray according to the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.

[apenitentialprayer]

Here's a couple of short Trinitarian ones:

1.

I kneel before the Father who creates me; I kneel before the Son who redeems me; I kneel before the Spirit who sanctifies me; in love and in mystery.

2.

Praise be to God, the Abba bearing love; Praise be to God, the Servant from above; Praise be to God, Paraclete whom we share; O Triune God, receive our prayer!

There's also the Trisagion;

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, Have mercy on us!

Or this alternative Trisagion;

Praise the Holy Trinity! Undivided Unity; Holy God, Mighty God, God Immortal - be adored!

If you want something more Jesus-centered, there is always the Jesus Prayer:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

If you want to declare your trust in Him;

1. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You! 2. Divine Mercy of Jesus, I trust in You! 3. Jesus, I trust in You!

Finally, here's one of the Fatima prayers:

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy.

Does anyone have any good prayers to memorize? Preferably very praise filled ones. I'm technically Baptist but idc denomination. They can be found in scripture of more ritualistic. Just any Christian prayers that I can learn and recite.

Thanks!

M. | it's good to be aware the world is blatantly unfair . / @trisagions - adrian.

the flames of a childhood home. the cries of father to son. the lamenting of mother to a child who can no longer hear. sins of the father become repentance of the son. the promise of facing a future alone. this is the unfairness they share. eyes set upon the tepes castle as if it were the remains of belmont manor. he sees the ruin, dips to pick up a book, and replace it on a bookshelf. calloused hands work carefully, as if it were his own; as if it's what they should've done the first time.

" now you're getting it. " next, a painting. tongue darts out to thumb before scraping away someone's caked-on blood. a woman, looking remarkably like the dhampir before them. his mother, he assumes. a deep sigh rises from his chest. this is a loss he knows, too. another unfairness. he was just a boy. he was just a boy.

they begin again. comforting is about as foreign to him as making a home in a vampire castle. must be a season of trying new things --- uncomfortable things, but not quite unwelcome things. " just because something's understood to be unfair doesn't make it right. " a grunt as the portrait is placed up on the wall, " which is the point of all this, i suppose. isn't that what we do? we fix the unfairness that we can. " dracula's cull of humanity, most recently. " accept the rest. still, you don't have to accept the shit alone. not anymore. "

The Trisagion Hymn [Part 2 of 2]

What does it mean for us to sing this ancient hymn and call God thrice-holy? First, it signifies that the God whom we worship is completely, totally and utterly transcendent. The one, true and living God stands outside the created universe of time and space as we know it. Because of this we can never fully grasp the divine Reality and must approach God in worship with a sense of reverence and awe. God is, as the Liturgy will later say in one of its prayers, "ineffable, beyond comprehension, invisible, beyond understanding, existing forever and always the same, You and Your only-begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit." In fact, St. John Chrysostom wrote a treatise entitled On the Incomprehensibility of God in which some of these very phrases are used to describe God. For this reason, the one God, our Father, is not and should never be pictured, as an old, white-bearded man sitting on a throne. Whenever this occurs in art, even in so-called Christian art --and even in the iconography found in some of our churches -- it is completely idolatrous and wrong.

Yet, this utterly transcendent and holy God, the creator of the universe whom we cannot even begin to comprehend, has chosen to reveal Himself to us as complete and total Love, Truth, Light and Life in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, the "Christ in whom the fullness of the Deity dwelt in bodily form" (Colossians 2:9). Second, because the Trisagion is based on the hymn of the angels, St Nicholas Cabasilas (c. 1319- c.1391) comments that in singing the Trisagion during the Liturgy "human beings and angels form one Church and one choir." During the celebration of the Liturgy, heaven and earth intersect and our worship here becomes an icon of the worship going on around the throne of God in heaven (Revelation 4:1-10). Third, to call God thrice-holy implies His absolute purity. For us as human beings, this carries moral connotations, for "Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil and You cannot tolerate wrong" (Habakkuk 1:13). The holiness of God demands repentance: the cleansing and purification of one's mind and heart, and the consecration of one's life in love to Him. In the Old Testament, God said to the people of Israel through Moses, "Be holy because I, the Lord Your God, am holy" (Leviticus 19:2) prior to issuing the commandment to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18). And in the Sermon on the Mount, after the Lord Jesus tells us to love even our enemies, He concludes by issuing, in essence, the same challenge: "Be perfect, therefore, as your Father in heaven is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). This call by God for us to share in and reflect His holiness is the fundamental axiom of the Christian life. As Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997) has said, "As Christians, we have been created for great things. We have been created to be holy since we have been created in the image of God."
