Prayer is MORE EFFECTIVE when we are in a state of grace. So please confess monthly!

Praying daily from home is very effective but praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament while being in a state of grace and fasting is the ultimate powerful way to pray! But pray daily in your home, since praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament is not always an option.

A sword is more affective when it is sharpened, same with our prayers when we are confessed! Prayers are a spiritual sword that attack demons!
(Hebrews 4:12 Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account.)

Prayer is by far the most EFFECTIVE thing we can do to help a hardened sinner in their conversion! Our prayers attack demons DIRECTLY which are the root and cause of ALL our problems! Imagine fighting a fire and using the fire extinguisher towards the smoke, you will have very little to no effect until you attack the base of the fire! When we focus on the problems, we have little effect until we turn our attention in prayer and focus on the demons that are behind our problems! We cannot stop our problems until we focus on what's causing our problems! Prayers are spiritual and ALWAYS attack the demons that are the root and source of our problems!
(Give me an army saying the rosary and I will conquer the world.
by Blessed Pope St. Pius the IX)
Let’s become that army of faithful men and women praying, that Blessed Pope St. Pius the IX had in mind when he spoke these words.

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. We do not know what demons they are fighting. If we spend an hour a day talking sense to someone it will bear very little to no fruit. But with our prayers God will do miracles around the world through our blessed Mother to convert even the most hardened of hearts! One hour of prayer will be a lot more effective than 1 hour of trying to talk sense to a hardened soul!
(Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer. Have courage and do not fear the assaults of the devil. by St. Padre Pio)

Our fight is not a physical fight; it is a spiritual fight of prayer against the spiritual forces of evil.
(Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the high places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day,)
(St. Padre Pio in speaking about the rosary would often say "Give me my weapon!" ) I can only imagine how fed up he must have been with world events to say that.

Prayer is applied first to the person praying, once your cup is full the rest will overflow to sinners in desperate need of conversion. If you are not in need of deliverance, praying these prayers will be applied to someone that is in need of deliverance and will be crucial in their conversion. I assure you, you'll be greatly rewarded for your time sacrificed in prayer!!!
(There is no greater charity given to God than to give yourself as a sacrifice by giving your precious time in prayer!

Fasting and praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament will greatly increase the effectiveness and power of these and all other prayers! (Mark 9:28 When he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?" 29 He said to them, "This kind can come out only through prayer and fasting.")

If you get sleepy while listening to these prayers it is part of the spiritual warfare and the enemy’s tactics to get you to stop praying! Persevere till the end, your sacrifice and tiredness is an offering to God. Jesus chastised the disciples because they fell asleep while praying.
(Matthew 26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? 41 Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial;)

Listening to these prayers before going to sleep is very effective and powerful as well! Our subconscious is always active and continues to listen while we are asleep! Our Lord asks one hour of our time in prayer.
(Matthew 26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? 41 Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.")

(Heaven needs our prayers now more than any other time in History! This is the time when we have to pray more fearless! By unknown)
