St. Therese Marian Vigil Society
“You are being called to start a Vigil of Love!”
"Our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with
the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore,
put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done
everything, to hold your ground." (Ephesians 6:12-13)
Start a Powerhouse First-Friday
All-Night Vigil modeled after ours!
We are here to help you get started!
No need to re-invent the wheel!
Mission Statement of the STMVS

To help start and promote Powerhouse First-Friday
Eucharistic All-Night Vigils of Love nationwide.

To pray for LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY, AND
PRIESTS/RELIGIOUS which are essential to the
promotion of a culture of life and the renewal of Church
and society.

To encourage adorers to pray the ‘Four Pillar prayer’ at
their Holy Hour between vigils for Life, Marriage, Family,
and Priests/Religious.
“The Church in America is in great danger.” Cardinal Francis George
Objectives of the Vigil
1.
To pray for LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY, and
PRIESTS/RELIGIOUS.
2.
To pray for reparation of sins committed against LIFE,
MARRIAGE, FAMILY, and PRIESTLY/CONSECRATED
VOCATIONS.
3.
To give Jesus truly and really present in the Holy
Eucharist praise and honor. Eucharistic prayer, both in
Mass and adoration, becomes the means par excellence
for obtaining such grace.
4.
To seek personal and communal holiness, a goal to
which not just a few but ALL are called.
“Eucharistic Adoration is like having Lasik surgery. You get the initial jolt of clarity of Truth and then
the more often you go, the clearer the Truth becomes. The Holy Spirit reveals much through adoration.”
“I’m Pro-Choice…so is God…it’s called Free Will. Abortion is simply a BAD choice.” Nancy E. Martin
Life
"I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose
life, then, that you and your descendants may live." (Deuteronomy 30:19)


Respect for life at ALL AGES from
conception until natural death.
We pray for an end to all actions
against life: abortion, euthanasia,
human cloning, embryonic stem cell
research, and even in Vitro
Fertilization procedures.
“Society has greater need than ever for healthy families and marriages that are capable of defending
common values. If we strengthen the sacred institution of marriage and the family in keeping with the
divine plan, love and solidarity will grow among peoples.” Pope John Paul II
Marriage

A permanent Covenant between one
man and one woman committed to
each other for life.
 Chaste and open to life.
 Lived according to God’s plan for
marriage.
“The future of the world and the Church passes through the family.” Pope John Paul II
“The family is a ‘school of love.’” Pope John Paul II
Family

Promote the building up of strong,
loving, holy, and heroic families.
 Preserve the family unit as the basic
cell of Church and society from
being redefined in ways contrary to
the divine law.
“The Truth alone satisfies the human heart’s restless quest for meaning.” Pope John Paul II
Priests/Religious and Vocations

To be faithful to their vows.
 To be faithful to the teachings of the
Catholic Church.
 For an increase of holy vocations.

weapons of our battle are not of flesh but are enormously powerful, capable of

Vigil concludes.
“Can you not spend one hour with Me,” our Lord said to His Apostles in the garden of Olives that
Holy Thursday night? And He says the same thing to you.
Why is the Vigil so late?
1.
It’s in the mystery of the cross and sacrifice where the treasure and fruit
lie which leads to one’s own sanctification and the transformation of our
culture.
2.
We pray at this time to imitate Jesus who often prayed late into the night
and early mornings, such as in the Garden of Gethsemane on Holy Thurs.
3.
It is a time when most people are available and do not have work or
family obligations inhibiting them from attending.
4.
Our Lord said to Sr. Faustina, “Anyone who prays the chaplet whenever
the 3 o’clock hour strikes will receive special favors and great graces. An
ocean of mercy is opened at the 3 o’clock hour. I will not deny anyone
their requests who prays the chaplet at 3 o’clock.”
5.
To sacrifice a bit of sleep for our Lord and these intentions is exactly the medicine
that is needed to kill the maladies which infect our country.
Vigil Poster
Ask for a Vigil Poster to place in your parish or
adoration chapel.
If these posters could be placed in as many adoration
chapels and churches across the country as
possible, adorers and others would be praying for
these key intentions of LIFE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY,
PRIESTS/RELIGIOUS around the clock and what a
transformation our culture could experience.
It is to engage people within the parishes to take
seriously their responsibility to pray for these four
major issues.
Endorsements
Endorsed by The Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki and
Monsignor Charles M. Magnan, Rome, Italy
“The St. Therese Marian Vigil Society is a great impetus for
good by encouraging the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass and the laudable practice of Eucharistic
Adoration for the restoration of the ‘four root pillars’ on
which Christian culture is built: Life, Marriage, Family
and Priests/Religious. Msgr. Charles M. Mangan
Rome, Italy
“As a faith-filled person, Nancy realizes that the one true force for conversion of
heart and mind is prayer and Eucharistic Devotion and is the key to success. I
support Nancy's efforts to draw attention to the great problems facing our society
and the solution which can only come through our union with Christ.“

Conclusion
“The Christian family, which gives life by love, constitutes an inner energy that
generates and spreads peace among human beings. This ‘Domestic Church’ is placed
at the service of the building up of the kingdom of God by participating in the life and
mission of the church.” Familiaris Consortio p.33
The more hearts that are transformed, the more our country will be transformed and Americans will then follow God’s
plan, NOT our plan, but God’s plan for marriage, for the family, for life, for the Church, and for ourselves.
Let’s walk with His Holiness over that
“Threshold of Hope” into a culture of life,
into the greatest period of light,
evangelization, and peace that the world
has ever known – that era of peace that
Our Lady promised at Fatima.
