Allocution, Sunday, September 6
Allocution September 6
Thank you to everyone who makes this allocution possible in which we prepare to celebrate the day of the Virgin of Charity, Tuesday, September 8.
The Las Tunas native Juan Cristóbal Nápoles Fajardo, best known for Cucalambé; recite the Virgin of Charity.
When I, innocent child,
in the mother’s lap
was the object of the most tender
and solicitous affection,
When an ermine hand
He caressed me at that age,
my mother with anxiety
more pleasant and more fervent,
He told me about the miraculous
Virgin of Charity.
(Song)
The Virgin has fully fulfilled the will of God. We have not always fully fulfilled the will of God, we have not always fulfilled the promises of baptism, living as children of God and brothers of all. We have not always kept the promises of courtship and marriage to love each other faithfully for life. For everything that has been wrong in our existence, we ask for forgiveness singing: Have mercy on me, Lord.
-For the times we have protested against our Father God when things went wrong and we have not trusted him… Christ, have mercy on me.
-For the times when spouses have argued, insulted each other, yelled at each other and have not reached a loving agreement… Have mercy on me, Lord.
-For the times that father and mother have not taught their children with life and words how to behave as helpful and loving people… Christ, have mercy on me.
-For the times that the old people of the house have been forgotten and we have forgotten how much they did for us…Have mercy on me, Lord.
-For the times that we have not acted as true children and devotees of the Virgin of Charity… Have mercy on me, Lord.
I CONFESS like this, without hesitation and without detours,
BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY,
before which there is nothing hidden.
AND BEFORE YOU, BROTHERS,
to whom I am also guilty and responsible,
THAT I HAVE SINNED A LOT, just as it sounds: that I am worse than I seem and when they judge me badly they fall short, because I have sinned in every possible way:
OF THOUGHT, WORD, WORK AND OMISSION
and I don’t blame anyone because it has always been
FOR MY FAULT, FOR MY FAULT, FOR MY GREAT FAULT But I am sincerely sorry, so much so that I am going to make amends for my sins as soon as possible and in the fullest way possible.
Now, I see that I need all the goodness of God to deserve forgiveness and all his strength to rebuild my life.
THAT IS WHY I PRAY TO HOLY VIRGIN MARY, TO THE ANGELS, TO THE SAINTS AND TO YOU, BROTHERS, TO PRAY FOR ME BEFORE GOD, OUR LORD.
(Song)
With the Virgin of Charity we sing of the goodness of God that has manifested itself in Her and in us.
(Song)
-We thank God for so many good people in our home, school, work, neighborhood.
-We thank God for the neighbors who accompany us in our sufferings and sorrows.
-We thank God for the doctors, nurses, health workers who spend their time in favor of the health of the sick.
-We thank God for those who study to find a vaccine against coronavirus.
-We thank God for the Virgin who shows herself as a mother throughout our lives and looks with pleasure on the prayers and offering of candles and flowers of her children.
The Word of God tells us about the love of the Virgin for her children, especially those who are in difficulties. Saint John, Chapter 2.
…
We need the wine of love and not the vinegar of revenge.
We need the wine of concord and not the vinegar of litigation.
We need the wine of generosity and not the vinegar of selfishness.
We need the wine of cooperation and not the vinegar of indifference.
We need the wine of fidelity and not the vinegar of separation.
Every time there is a gesture of family affection, we place a flower in front of the image of the Virgin of Charity that is in our house.
(Song)
We children present our supplications to the Mother of Heaven so that She may present them to God.

Assist the rulers…Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Watch over the poor…Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Comfort the afflicted… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Release the prisoners… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Put an end to enmities…Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Make the young people grow in wisdom… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Sustain and comfort the elderly… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Make our city prosperous… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Give the farmers good harvests… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Heal those sick with Covid… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Deliver us from cyclones and hurricanes… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Give concord to the married… Pray, pray, oh Mother.
Make sure parents are always next to their children… Pray, pray, oh Mother.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among all women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners and for Ernesto Felipe, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Let us place the names of the people for whom we wish to pray these days, under the image of the Virgin of Charity that is in our homes.
(Song)
Tomorrow, September 7, we celebrate the day of the Virgin of Regla, which is the same Virgin of Charity with a different title. The Virgin followed the rules of Christ, which are those that He Himself taught us.
…
Let’s live like this and we will be very happy.
We congratulate and pray for all the people who bear the name of Regla and the name of Caridad. Give your names to phone number 78624000 and we will send you a congratulations.
Next day the 8th we will have an allocution on the Virgin of Charity at the usual time and at 9 pm the Mass televised from El Cobre on the Educational Channel.
Remember, oh most pious Virgin Mary of Charity, who has never been heard to say, that you have abandoned any of your Cuban children, nor come to your protection, imploring your protection and claiming your help.
Encouraged with this confidence, I also come to you, Virgin of virgins, and groaning under the weight of my sins, I dare to appear before your Sovereign presence.
Do not reject my supplications, Mother of the Son of God made man. Amen.
Sweet mother, don’t go away. Don’t take your eyes off me.
Come with me everywhere and just never leave me.
And since you protect me so much, like a true mother,
make the Father bless me,
the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
