Rosary
Warriors... Storm Heaven with Prayer!
Dear Friend,
Pope Francis highlights the Holy Rosary in May!
On April 24, the Holy Father wrote an open letter to Catholic
faithful of the world. In it he stated, “the month of May is
approaching, a time when the People of God express with particular
intensity their love and devotion for the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is
traditional in this month to pray the Rosary at home within the
family. The restrictions of the pandemic have made us come to
appreciate all the more this “family” aspect, also from a spiritual
point of view.”
So, on this Friday, the
1st of May, please remember that we ‘as we do the first day of
each month’ band together from the four corners of the earth to raise
our united voice to Heaven. The 152,128 Rosary
Warriors will be reciting the Holy Rosary and storming Heaven
with prayer in union with the Holy Mass being celebrated by Cardinal
Burke.

His Eminence will be celebrating Mass at 7:00 am in Rome,
Italy, and you are able to join via Livestream (you can join
by registering
here). If you are unable to pray at exactly the
same time Cardinal Burke celebrates Mass and prays the Rosary, be sure
to pray your Rosary at some time on the 1st of May (your local
time).
When you pray your Rosary, please remember to pray for the
intentions of all the Rosary Warriors, just as they are also praying
for your intentions.
May 1 Storm Heaven will be very, very
special!
I am excited to share
with you an occasion of the utmost importance for Catholics across
North America.
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles and president of the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has announced that the U.S.
bishops will join the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on May 1
in renewing the consecrations of the two nations to the care of our
Blessed Mother. We are asking Rosary Warriors and all Catholics in
North America as well as around the world to Storm Heaven and together
unite our prayers with the bishops of these conferences for this
intention.
This May 1, consecrating
our nation to Our Lady under the title, Mary, Mother of the Church is
a meaningful and powerful way to pray for an end to the coronavirus
and the challenges it has brought to all.
Just imagine the reverberations traveling throughout the world from
the deepest seas and across the tips of every mountaintop to heaven as
you and I take this occasion to unite our rosary intentions with
Cardinal Burke and hundreds of thousands of Rosary Warriors throughout
the world on a day coinciding with this ceremony of re-consecration
and prayers of the episcopal leadership of the United States and
Canada.
“I want to encourage everyone to rediscover the beauty of praying
the Rosary at home in the month of May.” ~Pope Francis stated in his
April 24 letter
Let us truly storming heaven with prayer!
For this consecration of the United States and Canada to be truly
fruitful, we cannot forget the importance of sincere repentance for
the sins of our culture and of firm resolution to amend our lives
according to Our Lord's teaching.
We must certainly ask Our Most Merciful Mother Mary to aid us
against the Coronavirus and its material and physical effects on our
lives, but we must remember the labor pains Our Blessed Mother
suffered for us watching Our Lord, her Firstborn Son, bleed to death
on His cross because of our sins and the sins of the culture in which
we live. Let us pray that our sinful world may be converted, starting
with ourselves, lest we be like ungrateful children who speak to Our
Loving Mother only when we need a favor.
As we storm Heaven together, please remember to pray for the
conversion of sinners throughout the world, as well as for the
following intentions:
- For Holy Mother Church;
- For our families and the family institution that
is being so attacked today;
- For Catholics all over the world to heed Our Lady of Fatima's
message of repentance, that Catholics may turn back to loving and
serving God;
-
For a swift end to the Coronavirus pandemic;
- For healing of those who've been infected by COVID-19;
- For the souls of those who've died of COVID-19;
- For the protection of the elderly, those with pre-existing
conditions, and all who are most vulnerable to the Corona Virus;
- For those afflicted with anxiety and despair caused by the Corona
Outbreak, that they may find hope and peace in Our Lord, no matter
what crosses they are called to bear;
- For a return to order in society, not merely in terms of temporal
economic order, but above all in terms of spiritual and moral order,
that civilization may be subject to the Gospel of Our Lord as taught
by the One, Holy Catholic Church;
- To stop the culture of death in all its forms and
establish the Culture of Life in all souls, in all minds and in all
hearts;
- For the conversion of all sinners to the True
Faith;
- For all the personal intentions that are in the silence of
everyone’s hearts and for those submitted to Operation Storm
Heaven.
May Our Lady of the Rosary bless you and your loved ones now and
always!
Your fellow Rosary Warrior in Christ,
Thomas J.
