#182 The Sacred Heart Requests us to Pray to Him - “Salve Nos Perimus, Domine”



 
Ecstasy date October 27, 1931

The Divine Heart:

Say to Me again:

"Salve nos perimus, Domine" (3 times) Save us loving Father, full of love for us just ones, because we perish without the assistance of a marvel of goodness on Your part and that of Your mother.”

(NOTE / Observations: the context of this prayer is not included, however, it seems that when we are in need of the Sacred Heart's assistance during the troubled times, to pray both the Latin part of the prayer and the rest three times, asking for assistance from Our Lord and Our Lady.

'Salve nos perimus, domine' means 'Save us Lord, for we are perishing', a quotation from the Gospel passage when a storm broke out on the Sea of Galilee and the Apostles were afraid the boat would sink:

And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish. And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm. (Matt. 8: 24-26)

Also,

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awoke him, and said to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?” (Mark 4: 38)

Yes, it does concern Him – however, we must not be of little faith when the storm of life are grave, we must pray for assistance.
