Submit intentions for 10 Holy Masses, Queen of the World, Aug. 17-26

Dear Friend,

Our dear Cardinal Burke is now being cared for at a hospital with the aid of a ventilator.  Please fervently pray for him, as he has prayed fervently for each of us daily. 

There are two beautiful feast days coming up: Our Lady of Knock on August 21 and Our Lady of Czestochowa on August 26, yet very few churches will be saying Holy Masses, that honor and seek the intercession of Our Lady under those titles. 

Each year, over 1.5 million pilgrims come to pray at the Shrine of Our Lady of Knock in Ireland. In 2019, over 4.4 million pilgrims prayed at the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Poland and over 50,000 at the American Czestochowa in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Why do millions of people, believers and unbelievers alike, flock to these Marian Shrines?  The vast majority come to seek an answer to their prayers, mainly for healing – whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological – healing of a relationship with a loved one, or simply because they are curious unbelievers. 

The world is being shaken with an even greater intensity, in many ways:  the Islamic Taliban has taken control of Afghanistan, a strong earthquake struck Haiti with well over a thousand dead,  and a German court ruled that an honorable Polish priest was sentenced to pay a fine or be sentenced to 120 days in prison for incitement, after describing gay clergy criminals in an article
as “cancerous parasites”.

What intentions will you give to the Queen of the World as we journey on a spiritual pilgrimage to these two shrines, where countless answers to prayers – including healings and miracles have taken place?

Ten Holy Masses, August 17 – 26

Five days of Holy Masses and Prayers to Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland, beginning August 17, including the Feast Day on August 21

Five days of Holy Masses and Prayers to Our Lady of Czestochowa, Queen of Poland, beginning on August 22, including the Feast Day on August 26

All you have to do is submit your intentions and you will automatically receive ten days of prayers, beginning on Tuesday, August 17th. And please include an intention for Cardinal Burke to be healed and return to good health. 

May the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary be a source of strength for all of us.

Your friend in Jesus and Mary,

Thomas McKenna
