Submit your intentions for 3 Holy Masses in Honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, August 13, 14 and on the Solemnity, August 15.

Dear Friend, 

The Glorious Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Monday, August 15th, is one week from today. The Catholic dogma on the Assumption was proclaimed by the Venerable Servant of God, Pope Pius XII in 1950. Faithful Catholics in parts of the US, Mexico, South and Central America, Europe and the Middle East are already preparing for the feast with Holy Masses, prayers and pilgrimages. Soon churches, cathedrals, basilicas and shrines will be filled with flowers as well as herbs, fruits and vegetables to be blessed, because in some countries, it is referred to as the Feast of Our Lady of the Herbs. 

The Blessed Virgin Mary is a powerful intercessor who never sleeps. She has the everlasting love of a Mother, always willing to give us many graces, if only we would ask her to bring our needs before her Son, Jesus Christ. 

There’s the push for abortion access legislation.  The advancement of FDA approval of over-the-counter birth control pills. We have witnessed “Catholic” political leaders that have praised and are promoting unnatural same sex unions and the radical gender ideology. Staggering inflation and excessive heat conditions have impacted our everyday lives. Our Lady of the Assumption is the perfect mediator to plead mercy for our world, to her Son. 

What personal intentions will you ask Our Lady to plead for you? 

Let us also invoke the Blessed Mother to:

~ Bestow upon us, the grace to serve the Lord faithfully and continue to trust in God’s Divine Providence regarding the alarming number of Traditional Latin Masses that have been cancelled.  

~ Send us more Marian priests, who will Consecrate themselves to the Mother of Mercy and the Queen of Heaven.

May we not forget to thank the Blessed Mother for interceding for Cardinal Burke and caring for him, when he was close to death a year ago. After His Eminence had regained consciousness, after spending nine days on a ventilator, he was filled with the knowledge that the Virgin Mary had held him in her arms. 

Please submit your intentions now. Three days of meditations and prayers will be sent to you, beginning the morning of Saturday, August 13. 

The Blessed Virgin Mary can powerfully intercede for us, as she is the first of all the saints, a source of so many graces for each of us, and for the Church and the world, in these challenging times.

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
