Rosary Warriors...present
your new intentions Storm Heaven with
Prayer!
Dear Friend,
The beginning of the month is right around the corner. This means
our staff is eager to receive your special or continuing intentions to
present ahead of time to His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke to
include in his offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on
Wednesday, April 1st. So, please send your intentions today for you
and your loved ones.
You cannot imagine how happy I am – for sure you are too – when the
first of the month rolls around. It signals the arrival of the great
spiritual uplifting you and I wait for each month. We get to join
Cardinal Burke as he offers Mass for your specific intentions as a
Rosary Warrior and leads us in the Holy Rosary in communion with
thousands of Rosary Warriors throughout the world.
It is not without pious inspiration that His Eminence Cardinal
Burke emphasizes praying together and wishes to grow Operation Storm
Heaven to a million strong…to begin.
St. Louis De Montfort relates, “Finally, when people say the
Rosary together it is far more formidable to the devil than one said
privately, because in this public prayer it is an army that is
attacking him. He can often overcome the prayer of an individual, but
if this prayer is joined to that of other Christians, the devil has
much more trouble in getting the best of it.”
At Fatima, Our Lady also requested, "Pray the Rosary every day
in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary to obtain peace in the
world . . . for she alone can save it."
This month of April, we will be celebrating Holy Week and the
Easter Triduum. As you know, the entire world has been shaken by the
Corona Virus outbreak.
We must not lose hope. This crisis is unlike any in our lifetimes
and it will take all of us to combat it. Our Lord allows us to take
part in his Sorrowful Passion so that he may lead us in His Glorious
Resurrection.
Those without Faith are falling into anxiety and despair, but there
is no reason for Faithful Catholics to lose hope. If we truly believe
that Our Lord is risen from the dead, do we have reason to despair? Do
we truly believe in the Paschal Mystery? Do we trust in God's love for
us and in Our Lord's victory over death, or do we worry like those who
have no Faith?
Through Operation Storm Heaven, let us resolve
to strengthen our Faith in Our Lord's saving Passion, Death, and
Resurrection, so that we may live our lives without fear, filled with
the Holy Spirit, able to bear any cross Our Lord gives us, and be
worthy of entering into eternal life.
God
bless!
Your fellow Rosary Warrior in Christ,
Thomas J. McKenna Founder and President
