Submit Your Storm Heaven Intentions Today!

Dear Friend,

Great news! Raymond Cardinal Burke, joined by Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone, will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, from the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, which will be broadcast LIVE online, on August 1st, at 12:15 PM Central Daylight Time, for all of the specific intentions that you submit and for all the prayer warriors of Operation Storm Heaven. 

You will be able to assist at the Holy Mass. Here is the link. It will also be livestreamed on our YouTube and Facebook platforms. 

We are so blessed to have Archbishop Cordileone, from the Archdiocese of San Francisco, concelebrating the Holy Mass with Cardinal Burke. Both are canon lawyers, who will be speaking at the Speculum Iustitiae Conference, for Canon and Civil lawyers. The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is hosting the conference.

It is such a blessing whenever the Operation Storm Heaven Holy Mass is livestreamed at the shrine. This is a Catholic pilgrimage destination, with many beautiful chapels, statues, a meditative walk, gardens, the Culina Mariana Café, the Flores Mariae Gift Shop and Marian Catechist Bookstore. There are many devotional areas where visitors can meditate and pray. Pilgrims flock to the shrine from all over the world. It is a sacred place where people draw closer to God.  

Here is the shrine schedule, which includes holy mass, confession, exposition and gift shop/bookstore store hours. A list of shrine events can be found here.

For every intention you submit for the August 1st, Operation Storm Heaven Holy Mass, remember to ask through the Blessed Virgin Mary, for God will not refuse her. Remember Our Lady of Guadalupe’s words to St. Juan Diego: Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?”  Submit your intentions now.

August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary; the traditional feast day is August 22. Our Lady’s heart was pure, sinless. In the secular world, purity is associated with food, water, nutritional supplements and drugs. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that modesty is the guardian of the virtue purity. Our bodies become temples of the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Baptism. Let us remember good clothing choices before we enter the sanctuary of a church or an adoration chapel.

Did you know that on the Feast of the Assumption on August 15 - some churches around the world offer the ancient Blessing of Herbs, that dates back to the tenth century? This blessing can also apply to fruits and vegetables too. It is an occasion to thank God for His great bounty, that is revealed in the abundant fruits He has bestowed upon us. Have you ever brought bring fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables to be blessed? If so, please send me photos of the blessing. 

Besides your personal intentions for you and your loved ones, let us remember to include:

For all who have been affected by the extreme heat, especially farmers and those who work outdoors.

The faithful Roman Catholics in China, especially those who are in prison and under house arrest. May the Holy Father, Pope Francis, be guided by the Holy Spirit in his China polices and the underground Roman Catholic Church.

Here is the link to view the Holy Mass LIVE on August 1st at 12:15 PM Central Daylight Time.

Finally, if you know others who have intentions and would like to submit them, and to help others join Operation Storm Heaven, please forward this email to your family and friends and ask them to click here. 

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
