This Novena prayer was given to Mother Eugenia by God the Father. We offer this prayer to emphasize it and encourage others to pray it. We have found it to be very powerful in rightly ordering one’s conscience again to the Good God, especially in times of confusion, spiritual lethargy and great darkness.

God is my Father
My Father in Heaven, how sweet it is to know that You are my Father and that I am your Child! Especially when the skies of my soul are cloudy and my cross weighs more heavily, I feel the need to repeat to You: Father, I believe in Your love for me! Yes, I believe that You are a Father to me at every moment of my life, and that I am Your child! I believe that You love me with an infinite love! I believe that You are watching over me night and day and that not a hair falls from my head without your permission! I believe that, in Your infinite Wisdom, You know better than I what is good for me. I believe that, in Your infinite power, You can bring good even out of evil. I believe that, in Your infinite goodness, You make everything to the advantage of those who love You; even under the hands of those who strike me I kiss Your hand which heals! I believe, but increase in me faith, hope and love! Teach me always to see Your love as my guide in every event of my life. Teach me to surrender myself to You like a baby in its mother's arms. Father, You know everything. You see everything, you know me better than I know myself; You can do everything, and You love me! My Father, since it is Your wish that we should always turn to You, I come with confidence to ask You, together with Jesus and Mary....(here request the favor that you desire). For this intention, and uniting myself to their Most Sacred Hearts, I offer You all my prayers, my sacrifices and mortifications, all my actions, and greater faithfulness to my duties (*). Give me the light, the grace and the power of the Holy Spirit! Strengthen me in this Spirit, that I may never lose Him, never sadden Him and never allow Him to become weaker in me. My Father, I ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son! And You, Jesus, open Your Heart and place in it my own, and, together with Mary's, offer it to our divine Father! Obtain for me the grace that I need! Divine Father, call all men to Yourself. Let all the world proclaim Your fatherly goodness and Your divine mercy! Be a tender Father to me and protect me wherever I am, like the apple of Your eye. Make me always a worthy son/daughter; have mercy on me! Divine Father, sweet hope of our souls, may You be known, honored and loved by all men! Divine Father, infinite goodness poured out on all peoples, may You be known, honored and loved by all men! Divine Father, beneficent dew of humanity, may You be known, honored and loved by all men!
Partial Indulgence + GIRARD, Vicar Apostolic of Cairo, October 9th, 1935 +JEAN, Cardinal VERDIER, Archbishop of Paris, May 8th, 1936 Mother Eugenia (*) If this prayer is to be recited as a novena, add "I promise to be more generous, especially during these nine days, in a given circumstance, to such and such a person ..."

"I see a blood red candle with eight flames. The candle is in the form of a cross. There are four flames across the horizontal and four flames across the vertical beams—blood and the royal gold of the divine. The cross and the Spirit and the Holy Octave of Consecration to God Our Father ascending to Our Father through fire (the Spirit of truth), the blood of Christ’s Cross, and our prayer of the consecration. I hear the chaplet being sung in the rhythm and harmony of God’s divine will." March 8, 2001 pp. 580-581
Barbara Rose had this Vision and although it may be difficult to find a candle this specific you can make one similar for under ten dollars. At Micheals we found this cross in the wood signs section for $2.50 and painted it an Acrylic burnt red after sanding the rough spots of the wood. After it was dry, we sprayed a clear finishing coat on it to preserve it. Then at Walmart the "Tea Lights" were in packs of 5 for under $3.00 ea. and they not only included batteries but last a long time. Amazingly they fit perfectly in the wooden cross.
To use with your Formal Consecration Chaplet or daily, what you can do is either turn the tea lights on before you begin or turn each one on as you pray each Octave Theme (e.g. "The Fiat of Mary"). We haven't quite figured out how to make the Touching Stone that's mentioned later on in the books but if anyone has or knows where to find them, please let us know!

“...he that sees me sees the Father also. How says you, show us the Father? Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abides in me, he does the works. (John 14: 9-10)

Here are more pictures of the Father that we have used for personal devotion. We decided to share them due to the need for more images of the Father and the recent surge of devotion to Him, as well as in celebration of His Feast Day this August.

These songs and lyrics below (for a printable version of lyrics, click here ms works here ms word) are a fruit of devotion to God our Father and the graces He is pouring on us, His children, at this time. Seeing with the Eyes of the Soul books by Barbara Centilli have been a great influence on these songs in particular.
Three of the songs' lyrics are from the Poem of the Man God works by Maria Valtorta.
Please note: These are "devotional" songs, so feel free to change anything you want for your own devotion. Our intention is to promote devotion to the Father. Therefore we are offering them for free, as well as providing the song files and the words to the songs. This way you can download them onto your own PC, and even burn your own CD; making as many copies as you want and giving them to as many people you wish. We used Windows Media Player to do this: it is not difficult. They are not of a professional quality, but it was more important to us to offer them in order to spread devotion to Him. I am sure if they are listened to for this purpose, they will be found efficacious to the soul. Of course, you can request a free CD copy here, if you prefer.
As with the Chaplets that we are also giving away, our goal is to make these CDs as inexpensively as possible so as to be able to give away as many as possible. We will always provide them free of charge; however, there are substantial costs involved. Therefore, we are asking people who want to promote this devotion to consider making a donation to help cover the costs. Also, if we are able to buy enough materials ahead of time, we will never fall behind in the making of them; and we'll be able to ship them out right away.

10. YOU EXHALED SDBV
You exhaled and by Your love I came to be You inhale and my soul returns to Thee The mystery of my life in You.
Through a Mother, Your Son called my soul By Her, He made You known Their blood (love) made me Your child
And so I long for You And I need all that You are To have You and nothing else Sets my soul free
Chorus: For You alone are my one true Father Whom I owe everything; my life, my love, my all And She alone is my one true Mother Cus' it's Her sacrifice that bears me unto God
Always You're there by my side Unseen yet my soul's guide Embracing me with watchful eyes and love
If pain and confusion settle in Your power draws me back again With dignity, encouraging and free My Father has faith and trust in me
Chorus: For You alone are my one true Father You give me everything; my life, my love, my all And She alone is my one true Mother Cus' it's Her sacrifice that bears me unto God
In Your love, I have my home What's Yours is too my own My good intent to love keeps me with You
(My) Mothers Heart provides my nourishment Where She dwells is all I sense Her Union with Love gives true peace
In Her Mercy I know I'll never be forlorn She's Sacrifice that I am born A mystery of the Trinity revealed I'm nurtured, accepted and healed
Chorus: For I alone am your one true (opt. child) daughter That's how You love me, a power only Gods And I forever have this perfect family Thanks to You Who loves me unto death
Chorus: For You alone are my one true Father Whom I owe everything; my life, my love, my all And She alone is my one true Mother And it's Her sacrifice that bears me unto God

12. LIKE A STAR lyrics: Blessed Virgin Mary Poem of the Man God Vol.#1 p52
"Like a star in clear water A light is shining within My heart It has been with Me since My childhood And it guides Me tenderly in love From the depths of My heart there is a song Where does it come from? Man you do not know It comes from where the Holy One rests I look at My clear star And I do not want anything Not even the dearest and sweetest thing Except for this light that is all Mine You brought Me down from the heavens above O star of Mine Into the womb of a mother Now You live in Me But beyond the veil I see Your glorious face Father When will You grant Your servant the honor Of being the humble maid of the Savior? Send us the Messiah from heaven, Accept holy Father the offer of Mary."

13. LULLABY OF THE VIRGIN lyrics Blessed Virgin Mary Poem Vol.1 p. 166
Little golden clouds Seem the herds of the Lord On the meadow full of flowers Another herd is watching But if I had all the herds That exist in the world The lambkin dearest to Me You would always be
Chorus: Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep Cry no more
Many glittering stars --are twinkling in the sky May Your sweet gentle eyes --shed no more tears Your eyes of sapphire --are the stars of My heart Your tears make Me cry--O cry no more
Chorus:
All the sparkling angels--that in heaven be Form a wreath around You innocent child--enraptured by Your face But You're crying for Your mummy--mummy, mummy, mum To sing Your lullaby--Lulla, lulla, lu
Chorus:
The sky will soon be red--and dawn will soon be back And mummy had no rest--to ensure You do not cry Momma" when awake You'll call Me--"Son" I will reply A kiss of love and life--I'll give You with My breast
Chorus:
You do need Your mummy--also if You dream of heaven Come do come under My veil--I will make you sleep My breast is Your pillow--Your cradle My arms Do not fear My dear--I am here with You
Chorus:
I'll always be with You--You're the light of My heart He is sleeping like a flower resting on My breast He is sleeping be quiet--His Father perhaps He sees And the sight wipes the tears--of My sweet Jesus
Chorus He Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps, sleeps And He cries no more
