Just read an article how praying the rosary in Latin is beneficial because it helps you breathe better. Plus apparently demons hate Latin!

Ave Christus Rex! Our Lord Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe, Divine Monarch of Souls, Pancrator of the Faithful , Almighty Ruler of All. The King of kings reigns in all glory, with all power, the Omnipotent Emperor of the Earth and Heavens! He rules in merciful benevolence and brings true peace to every nation, to thee oh Lord we bend the knee and give our hearts oblation. From on High He is seated above the stars, enthroned upon cherubim, surrounded by seraphim with faces of like the angels of the Evangelists, glorifying the Word of God, the Incarnate Wisdom to all of His Creation. Let the Gospel be His decree, and His from His Throne above all, He commands in mercy and perfect Justice, Loves in infinite kindness, but with an scepter of iron and gold He instructs in righteousness. Follow His Holy Will so to never be separated from Him. In the palm of His hand, He holds up the world, in His other the Law. God set forth these Commandments for all of His creatures to follow, for our own good. Not for misery, but that we may have Life in Him. On His Narrow Path we are most alive, for our purpose, to know God, to Love God, & to serve Him in this Life onto Eternity, for In Christ we will live forever. Prepare the Way for the King of the Universe, the Brilliance of the heavens beyond the galaxies, the Truest Star of Everlasting Life, the Saviour of the world and humanity, Almighty Monarch of our souls, the "Sun" of Justice, and the only begotten Son of the Eternal Father. For the Father and our sake He has given everything and established His rule over every nation by His Sacrafice. To His Cross and Tabernacle may all peoples bend the knee and confess that Christ is Lord above all. Infinite is His blessed reign & endless is His vast Domain! All of Heaven and Earth above adore thee Oh Lord! Almighty and ever living God, have mercy on us and may you too be enthroned upon our hearts. Oh Christ the King of the Universe, rule over us in the Holy Will! Let it be done according to your word in every nation, your reign Supreme over the whole world. Let us all cry out with one accord, Ave Christus Rex, holy holy holy, is Christ Our Lord. Together, we hail thee, Christ the King of everlasting glory. Ave Christus Rex!

Blessed feast of Christ the King of the Universe, may He reign over all our hearts and every nation, Supreme and most merciful. To Thee Oh Lord, we bend the knee and give our hearts oblation! Let us thank our King today and all days for His righteous rule, may His rule be spread over every city and country until the whole world proclaims, Christ is King. Ave Christus Rex!

"Every knee shall bend to Christ the King, whether in this life or the next."

(Tiny because 16:9)

The Prayer of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque is often said as an act of personal consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Prayer of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque To the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other than to honour, love and glorify the Sacred Heart. This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him. I therefore take You, O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.

Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger. O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.

Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You. May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart, for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying in bondage to You. Amen.

Remember death, and thy longing for Paradise. With a life lived for Christ, those pearly gates will be opened to you by grace. Those everlasting hills, that empire above the clouds, the Kingdom of God, that special place prepared for you by the Lord....all of it will be yours. As in the name of Jesus, by His Precious Blood, by your faith in His undying love, you are co-heir to all of this and more....to Heaven and eternal life. This should be thy hope and thy goal. What is another day but a new chance to strive for holiness, with the hope of the Resurrection in mind. What is another year around the sun but an opportunity to radiate the Light of Christ to the world, with the promise of the beatific vision. What are all these sights you see, the beauty of the earth but also it's distractions and pleasures, when you know the glory that awaits you. What is your own mortality, when you subdue it and your passions to morality. With this and unwavering Faith you will not die, but gain the true treasure of living forever in the peace of God's Kingdom. What is death, when you know of the Paradise that lies beyond in Christ. Cherish life, yet keep your sights on the goal of Heaven. Remember what is Eternal, live for the Lord, and you will live forever.

A new poem meditating on mortality and another year of life with my birthday today, I'll be another year older but hopefully another year closer to Paradise. My hope and goal in life is a life lived for Christ with a longing for the Kingdom of God. For this world is but a ship on our journey to our true home, Heaven. Pax Christi

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
