Submit Your Storm Heaven Intentions Today!

Dear Friend,

As Cardinal Burke continues to gradually regain his strength, he sends his blessing, daily prayers and well wishes to all of you. He joins me in expressing much gratitude for all the prayers our Rosary Warriors have offered and continue to offer for his rapid and complete recovery. He is grateful for your notes, cards and holy masses offered on his behalf. 

On the November 1st Solemnity of All Saints, we are pleased to announce that while Cardinal Burke continues to recover, Archbishop Alexander Sample, the Archbishop of Portland, will offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and lead the Holy Rosary on behalf of Operation Storm Heaven and Rosary Warriors around the globe.

So, please save the date on November 1st to be part of the Holy Mass and Holy Rosary live from St. Mary’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 1716 NW Davis St, Portland, Oregon.

November 1, 2021 – 5:30 PM Pacific Time

As always, we will be sending out the link with times and the recitation of the Most Holy Rosary, in a separate email. We are excited to have Operation Storm Heaven hosted in this beautiful cathedral designed in 1925 with its Romanesque style and Byzantine features.  

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 November.

The Month of November is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, with the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls Day) on November 2. A plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, if only mentally, for the departed. You may receive the plenary indulgence each day, from the 1st to the 8th of November.  The Holy Souls are depending on you to help them!

Let’s also include in our prayer intentions:

• That the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially the Gift of Wisdom, may fall upon all Bishops attending the USCCB Fall General Assembly November 15 - November 18.

• For an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life, especially in those areas that are most deprived of the sacraments, that God may raise up many zealous pastors and caretakers of His holy people in order to strengthen the Church’s mission of saving souls.

• That the Holy Spirit stir up the Baptismal and Confirmation vows in all Catholics, so that they may be on fire for the Church; especially in the frequent reception of Holy Communion and in the Sacrament of Confession. 
• That the Blessed Virgin Mary may wrap her mantle of love and healing around His Eminence, Cardinal Burke, and that he may continue his complete and rapid recovery.
• That our Mother of Mercy may bring healing and hope to all who are ill, especially those who are experiencing the effects of the pandemic as well as those in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab centers.
• For the Holy Souls in Purgatory, especially those souls who have no one to pray for them, as well as those who have died suddenly without the forgiveness of their sins. 
• For the unity of the Church, that we may all work toward overcoming differences and uniting our efforts in the common mission of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations.

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 November. 

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 as we march to our goal of reaching One Million Rosary Warriors, please forward this email to your family and friends and ask them to click here.

Your friend in Christ,

Thomas McKenna
