Submit Your Storm Heaven Intentions Today!

Dear Friend,

I am pleased to say that Cardinal Burke continues to recover from the corona virus. I am grateful for all the prayers our Rosary Warriors offered and continue to offer for his rapid and complete recovery.

As we approach September 1st, we are pleased to announce that while Cardinal Burke is recovering,  I have asked Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone, the Archbishop of San Francisco, to celebrate a Traditional Latin Mass and lead a rosary on behalf of Operation Storm Heaven and Rosary Warriors around the globe. So, please save the date to be part of the Holy Mass and Holy Rosary live from St. Dominic’s Church, 2390 Bush Street, San Francisco, CA.  (photos of St. Dominic’s)

Established in 1873, St. Dominic’s has a rich history and an architecture that inspired an anonymous Dominican to write in 1926 that the church was

TRULY IT IS A SERMON IN STONE

September 1, 2021 – 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time

As always, we will be sending out the link with times and a reminder of the location of the Mass and the recitation of the Most Holy Rosary, in a separate email. 

As part of Operation Storm Heaven, your intentions are added each month to the Holy Mass and to the Most Holy Rosary prayed for by all the Rosary Warriors throughout the world on the 1st of September.

The Month of September is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows; the feast day is September 15^th. In today’s world, we see and hear of so many sorrows, the plight of Christians who are trying to flee Afghanistan, farmers who mourn over devastated crops due to the weather, families that are grieving the sudden death of a loved one. We must remember that Our Blessed Mother suffered, inconsolably at times. When each of us suffers, her sorrowful heart is close to us.  A prayer in honor of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady beautifully states: “You have drunk so deeply of the chalice of your Son, you can compassionate our sorrows.”

In fact, during the Fatima apparitions, the Blessed Mother appeared as Our Lady of Sorrows on Oct. 13, 1917. This was during her last apparition, where the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima happened. She also appeared as Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Did you know that there is a Rosary of the Seven Sorrows which includes praying 7 decades, with 7 Hail Mary’s and no glory be’s.

The Seven Sorrows of Mary:

1. The flight into Egypt
2. The loss of Jesus for three days in the temple
3. Mary meets Jesus on his way to Calvary
4. Mary stands at the foot of the cross during Jesus’ crucifixion and death
5. Mary receives the dead body of Jesus taken down from the Cross
6. Mary accompanies the body of Jesus to the tomb
7. Mary accompanies the body of Jesus to the tomb

Once again as a Rosary Warrior, I would like to invite you to present your new or updated intentions and prayer requests for Operation Storm Heaven before the 1st of September. 

I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to thank you for being part of Cardinal Burke's Rosary Crusade Operation Storm Heaven and for continuing your prayers for his full recovery. I would also like to encourage you to recite the Holy Rosary every day as Our Lady requested, if you do not do so already.

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.

Your friend in Christ,

Thomas McKenna
