Submit Your Storm Heaven Intentions Today!

Dear Friend, 

On the November 1 Solemnity of All Saints, His Eminence, Raymond Cardinal Burke will offer the Holy Mass, broadcast LIVE online, from the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin at 7:00 AM Central Daylight Time.  

The Holy Mass will be private (not open to the public) for all the specific intentions that you submit and for all the prayer warriors of Operation Storm Heaven. You will be able to assist at the Holy Mass, which you will be able to access live from here as well as our YouTube and Facebook platforms.  

On November 1, the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe will offer two other Holy Masses at 8:30 AM and 12:15 PM, which are open to the public. 

We are excited to join His Eminence for this Holy Mass at the Shrine, which is a spiritual destination with many beautiful chapels, a rosary walk, sacred art to meditate upon, relics to venerate, statues, gardens, Stations of the Cross and Pilgrim Paths -all very spiritually inviting for visitors and pilgrims, that come from around the world. The Shrine’s website has more information: https://www.guadalupeshrine.org 

What graces do you wish to receive when His Eminence offers the Holy Mass? Please submit your intentions today, including one for the needs of Cardinal Burke, as well as the continuation of his good health.

On October 11, Cardinal Burke offered a Pontifical High Mass at the Shrine. Later, His Eminence warmly greeted those who came.  

The next Pontifical Solemn High Mass (Traditional Latin) offered by His Eminence Cardinal Raymond Burke, at the Shrine, will be on December 10 at 11:00 AM.  It is open to the public. Lodging within the area is listed here: https://www.guadalupeshrine.org/lodging

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!

Have you noticed, that more and more people, young and old (including religious) are committing suicide? Physician assisted suicide is now legal in eleven states. There are organizations that use “softer, calming” words to describe a self-inflicted death, generally using a drug overdose prescribed by a doctor for the purpose of suicide. However, so many souls have ended their lives with other methods.  Catholic teaching views suicide as a grave offense against love of self, one that also breaks the bonds of love and solidarity with family, friends, and God (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], no. 2281). 

Let us place a special emphasis this month on the souls who have committed suicide, as well as their loved ones:

Lord Jesus, we lift up all souls, who in a moment of desperation, blinded by despair, ended their lives. Through the merits of Your cross and resurrection, we humbly beg for Your mercy. Please, Lord, have mercy on their souls.  Keep in the palm of Your hand, all of their family and friends who mourn, for their wounds are deep. We ask this through Our Mother of Sorrows, whose own heart was pierced by the sword of sorrows. AMEN.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being part of Cardinal Burke's Rosary Crusade Operation Storm Heaven. 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.

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

Thomas McKenna
