May 1, Holy Mass, Feast of St. Joseph the Workman - Submit Your Intentions!

Dear Friend,

How blessed we are! Cardinal Burke will offer the Operation Storm Heaven Holy Mass on May 1, Feast of St. Joseph the Workman, followed by the Holy Rosary, which will be live streamed from the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin at 7:00 AM Central Time. This Operation Storm Heaven Holy Mass will be offered privately. A link will be emailed next week. His Eminence will remember all of the intentions of the Rosary Warriors, as well as all of the intentions that will be submitted.

On May 1, the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe opens at 8:00 AM; the public Holy Masses on May 1 are at 8:30 AM and 12:15 PM. Both Holy Masses are in English.

Here is an opportunity to submit all your intentions that His Eminence will include on a feast invoking the intercession of St. Joseph, that was established by the Venerable Servant of God, Pope Pius XII in 1955. May 1 was chosen to counter the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists.

Referring to St. Joseph in a 2023 homily, Cardinal Burke said:

“We turn to St. Joseph, to his intercession, this great heavenly patron - great father in heaven, who continues, even as he did on this earth to work, as an all just and all pure father, for the good of the children of God. We ask him to intercede for the church and the world, and for us – personally, so that we might, in our lives, imitate his justice and his purity in honoring ourselves, our world, especially the reality of God.”

Also, the month of May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary; the very important Feast Our Lady of Fatima is May 13. At Fatima, Our Lady came to teach the whole world the way to peace and salvation. Our Lady’s message was of conversion, prayer and sacrifice. She asked us to pray and sacrifice for those in need of conversion, but also towards those who were already living the faith, that they might learn to do more, to bring also their wayward brothers home to the Father’s house.

Mark Your Calendar:

On Monday, May 13 at 5:30 PM, Pacific Time, on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, commemorating the 107th Anniversary of the first Fatima apparition, please join us, either in person or online, for a special Marian event. This will include the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Crowning of the Blessed Mother. The special Operation Storm Heaven event will be live streamed from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in San Diego, California. Bishop Ramon Bejarano will be the main Celebrant and Homilist for the Holy Mass. Father Ignatius Kipchirchir will concelebrate. More details to be sent soon.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being part of Cardinal Burke's Rosary Crusade Operation Storm Heaven. 

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.
