to God Charlemagne Jesus Holy Spirit Spirituality eternal life
Prostrated before the throne of your adorable Majesty, I come to ask of you, O my God, the last of all graces, the grace of a good death. Whatever misuse I have made of the life you gave me, grant me to end it well and to die in your love. May I die like the Holy Patriarchs, leaving without regret this valley of tears to go and enjoy eternal rest in my true homeland!
May I die like Blessed Saint Joseph, in the arms of Jesus and Mary, repeating those sweet names that I hope to bless for all eternity! May I leave this world like the Blessed Virgin, ablaze with the purest love, burning with the desire to unite myself to the one object of all my affections! May I die like Jesus on the cross, in the strongest feelings of hatred for sin, love for my heavenly Father, and resignation in the midst of suffering ... Holy Father, I place my soul in your hands : have mercy on me! Jesus who died for my love, grant me the grace to die in your love. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for me, poor sinner, now and at the hour of my death. Angel of heaven, faithful guardian of my soul, great saints whom God gave me for protectors, do not abandon me at the hour of my death. Saint Joseph, obtain for me, through your intercession, that I die of the death of the Righteous. So be it.

To God, the being above all, nothing is impossible. Everything is possible with him. Whatever difficulties you find yourself in, trust in him, have faith. Pray to him and he will answer you.
Prayers addressed directly to God do not go through any intermediary. He receives them as they are. Some people prefer this type of prayer where they speak, in their hearts, directly to God.
God is present everywhere. Within us and without us. Even when we think we are alone, he is there. He sees us, he listens to us. He knows us better than we know ourselves.
Like a good father with his children, he is compassionate, merciful and always ready to forgive us our failings and sins.
Let us entrust ourselves to him, ask him for the grace to be a reflection of his love for mankind. Let us entrust ourselves to him and be attentive to the different signs and messages that he sends us every day, within us or outside us through our fellow human beings.

Charlemagne, from the Latin Carolus Magnus, or Charles I, known as "the Great", born at an unknown date (probably during the year 742, or even 747 or 748, perhaps on 2 April), died on 28 January 814 at Aachen, was a Frankish king and emperor. He belonged to the Carolingian dynasty. Son of Pepin the Short, he was king of the Franks from 768, became king of the Lombards by conquest in 774 and was crowned emperor in Rome by Pope Leo III on 24 or 25 December 800, raising a dignity that had disappeared in the West since the deposition, three centuries earlier, of Romulus Augustus in 476.
As a warrior king, he significantly expanded his kingdom through a series of military campaigns, particularly against the pagan Saxons, whose submission was difficult and violent (772-804), but also against the Lombards in Italy and the Muslims of al-Andalus. A reforming sovereign, concerned with religious unification and culture, he protected the arts and letters and was at the origin of the "Carolingian renaissance". His immediate political work, the Empire, did not survive him for long, however. Following the Germanic custom of succession, Charlemagne planned the division of the Empire between his three sons in 806. After many ups and downs, the Empire was not finally divided between three of his grandsons until 843, at the time of the Treaty of Verdun.
The feudal fragmentation of the following centuries, then the formation of rival nation-states in Europe, condemned to impotence those who explicitly attempted to restore the Western Empire, in particular the sovereigns of the Holy Roman Empire, from Otto I in 962 to Charles V in the 16th century, and even Napoleon I, who was haunted by the example of the most eminent of the Carolingians.
The figure of Charlemagne was the subject of political issues in Europe, particularly between the eleventh and nineteenth centuries, between the Germanic nation, which considered its "Holy Roman Empire" to be the legitimate successor of the Carolingian emperor, and the French nation, which made him a central element of the dynastic continuity of the Capetians. Charlemagne is sometimes considered the 'Father of Europe' for having brought together a significant part of Western Europe and for having laid down principles of government which the great European states have inherited.
The two main ninth-century texts that depict the real Charlemagne, Eginhard's Vita Caroli and the Gesta Karoli Magni attributed to Notker the Beggar, a monk of St. Gallen, also halo him with legends and myths that were taken up in the following centuries: "There is the Charlemagne of vassalage and feudal society, the Charlemagne of the Crusade and Reconquest, the Charlemagne who invented the Crown of France or the Imperial Crown, the Charlemagne who is poorly canonised but held to be a true saint of the Church, the Charlemagne of the good schoolchildren.
Charlemagne is, by toleration of Pope Benedict XIV, a Catholic Blessed celebrated locally on 28 January. In fact, in 1165, Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa obtained the canonisation of Charlemagne by Antipope Paschal III. Many dioceses in the north of France then included Charlemagne in their calendars and in 1661 the University of Paris chose him as its patron saint. His relics are still venerated today in Aachen Cathedral. However, the Catholic Church has removed from its calendar "the emperor who converted the Saxons by the sword rather than by the peaceful preaching of the Gospel".
There are prayers that are reputed to be extremely effective (especially the famous Oraison de Saint Charlemagne against sudden death, drowning, poisoning, epilepsy, lightning, enemies, etc., favourable to pregnant women, etc., which has glowing testimonies for those who have already used it) attributed to Charlemagne.

Jesus Christ is a central figure in Christianity. He is regarded as the incarnation of God.
The historical existence of Jesus is attested by archaeological research and by the accounts of Roman historians (Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius).
At about the age of thirty, Jesus left Nazareth and began an itinerant public life. He calls his disciples and walks with them through Judea and Galilee. He teaches, he heals the sick, casts out demons, walks on water, forgives sins, raises the dead. He is attentive to children. He shares meals, a wedding party, pilgrimages to Jerusalem. He lives as a Jewish believer, goes to the synagogue, observes the Sabbath. He weeps, gets angry, experiences sadness, fatigue and thirst, compassion and even anguish. Jesus is known for his natural authority.
With all the miracles he performed, Jesus is the one to whom prayers should be addressed no matter what difficulties one faces.

The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is the third person of the Trinity. His action is in perfect unity with the Father (GOD) and the Son (Jesus Christ). When we are in a state where we deserve to receive Him, He enlightens us, guides us, protects us from all dangers (spiritual and physical).
In the Bible, several symbols are used to designate the Holy Spirit: breath that makes you breathe; wind that pushes you out; oil that gives strength to athletes; fire that warms and purifies; dove that descends from heaven.
We can pray to the Holy Spirit to implore his gifts which are :
