May 13th - The Rich Content of the Message of Fatima - on the 99th Anniversary

The following is from The World Apostolate of Fatima Spiritual Guide for the Salvation of Souls and World Peace.  This blog post will also appear the the World Apostolate of Fatima Hawaii Division Blog.

The message of Fatima which springs from the apparitions of Our Lady, is a solid blueprint for life.  It cries out to be put into practice for the good of the world, and the salvation of souls.

Its teachings are in harmony with the Gospel, calling to mind the following elements with new emphasis:

-  The mystery of the Blessed Trinity;

-  The providence of God, which directs and governs the world and presides over the events of human history;

-  The omnipotence and omniscience of God, Who knows and realizes all things according to His exalted designs.  It foretold future events and revealed miraculous signs to prove the truth of God's predictions;

-  God, Who rewards or punishes, according to the good or evil done, though He is ever merciful towards sinners;

-  The reality of heaven, hell and purgatory;

-  The existence of Guardian Angels, not only of individuals but also of nations;

-  The real presence of Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and the necessity and value of Holy Communion;

-  The real presence of Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and the necessity and value of Holy Communion;

-  Sanctity as a condition of true happiness even on earth, and docility and correspondence to grace, the mysterious mixture of divine action and human effort;

-  The reality of sin as an offense against God with its tragic consequences for sinners and nations;

-  The flight from sin and amendment of life as an indispensable condition of the sate of grace;

-  The Christian solidarity of the Mystical Body of Christ;

-  The intercession of the Mother of God as a powerful mediatrix and dispenser of grace;

-  The necessity of penance and prayer, with their value of atonement and intercession;

-  The love of the Heart of Jesus and of the Immaculate Heart of Mary - the great revelation of Fatima;

-  The importance of Marian devotions, particularly, the excellence and efficacy of the Rosary, the new devotion of the first Saturdays, and the value of Consecration of the Immaculate Heart of Mary;

-  The powerful action of grace, which so transformed the three little children at Fatima and led them to such a close union with God.

-  Russia, simultaneously a scourge that punishes the sins of the world, and the object of Divine Mercy, by the promise of its conversion through the intermediary of the Heart of Mary;

-  The sanctification of the family, in imitation of the vivid scene of the last apparition;

-  Devotion to the Holy Father and the and the necessity of purity and modesty;

-  The final triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Fatima Centennial US Tour for Peace

The world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima will begin a two-year Fatima Centennial U.S. Tour for Peace,March 21, 2016 – December 20, 2017, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of the Angel of Peace (1916) and the Blessed Mother (1917) at Fatima, Portugal.

The tour will launch in our home Diocese of Metuchen, NJ, and travel to parishes in more than 100 dioceses throughout the United States.  Our goal is to reach all 50 states.

Purpose of the Tour:

• Allow Our Lady of Fatima to claim her dominion over our country,
• Spread the message of Fatima – the Peace Plan from Heaven – to a world in need,
• Promote devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary through Marian Consecration,
• Ignite hope and confidence in the Mother of God who desires peace in our world and the salvation of souls

The tour is dedicated to the three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, to whom the Blessed Mother appeared and exhorted them to be fervent in working for the salvation of souls and conversion of sinners through daily prayer and penance in reparation for sins. She identified the conversion of sinners as key to peace in the world.

“In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph”

Say “Yes” to Our Lady

Join us in a 54 Day Novena Prayer for the success of the tour, beginning January 27 until our launch date March 21.

BLASPHEMOUS DEMONSTRATION AGAINST VIRGIN MARY CALLS US TO PRAYER AND REPARATION

BLASPHEMOUS DEMONSTRATION AGAINST VIRGIN MARY

CALLS US TO PRAYER AND REPARATION

 

Dear Blue Army Members:

A group of satanists plan to perform a blasphemous demonstration against the Virgin Mary on Christmas Eve in front of the historic St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown Oklahoma City.

 

The small group, led by Adam Daniels who received city approval to hold a satanic "black mass" last year, now has approval for a display entitled, "Virgin Birth is a Lie." Daniels plans to cover a statue of Mary in sulfur powder and ash and pour fake blood over it. The blood is to "add another layer of corruption to Mary, which is an emblem of the Catholic Church," he stated.

 

Archbishop Paul S. Coakley issued this statement: "Though disgusted by the audacity of the planned event, I am discouraging parishioners and others from giving this group the attention they seek, and instead inviting all to focus our attention on celebrating the joyful birth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. On this holy night, we will give thanks to God and honor the Holy Family in reparation for these planned outrages against Jesus, Mary and Joseph."

 

The First Saturdays Communion of Reparation that Our Lady and Our Lord requested at Fatima calls us to make reparation for five blasphemies against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:

 

1. Against her Immaculate Conception

2. Against her Virginity

3. Against the Divine Maternity, while refusing to receive Her as the Mother of     
     mankind

4. By those who try to publicly implant in the hearts of children indifference,
     disrespect, and even hate against the Immaculate Mother.

5. By those who insult Her directly in Her Sacred Images.

 

The Oklahoma City demonstration certainly covers all five of the "thorns" that pierce Our Mother's Heart.

 

Please join with Archbishop Coakley in offering prayers and sacrifices to atone for this act, and let us welcome the Holy Family on Christmas Eve, into our hearts and homes.

 

Saturday, January 2 is the first First Saturday of 2016. If you haven't already done so, join our campaign to increase the practice of the First Saturdays Communion of Reparation as a Centennial Gift to Our Lady. 

 

May the peace of Christmas be with you,

  

 

David Carollo

Executive Director

One Million Rosaries to Defeat ISIS

Pledge here

The following is from the website:

How do you defeat a global terrorist organization like ISIS, whose members are largely hidden throughout the world, and are willing to die in suicide bombings for their diabolical goals of worldwide mass murder and destruction?

The ultimate answer is through prayer. The battle against ISIS is, at its roots, a spiritual battle against the Devil and the forces of darkness.

We believe Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Spiritual Mother of all peoples, has been given the power by God to crush the head of Satan (cf. Gen 3:15) and to successfully lead the spiritual battle against the great Dragon (cf. Rev. 12). Historically, Our Lady has repeatedly interceded for victories against foreign invasion seeking to destroy Christianity and Judeo-Christian civilization (e.g., Lepanto, 1571; Vienna, 1683).

Join the spiritual battle to stop ISIS. Please pray the Rosary every day, and include in your Rosary the intention “for the defeat of ISIS and for the conversion of its members.”

Recently, Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme of  Nigeria was praying before the Blessed Sacrament and asking Our Lord how to combat the horrific terrorist attacks of ISIS affiliate, Boko Haram upon the people of his diocese.   Suddenly, Jesus appeared to the bishop with a sword in his hand.  When Jesus handed to sword to the bishop, it turned into a Rosary. Jesus repeated three times: “Boko Haram gone.” This confirms that it is heaven’s directive that we battle and defeat ISIS through the power of the Rosary.

In this worldwide expression of prayer and unity, please add your name as a sign of your commitment to pray the Rosary daily to defeat ISIS. Let us entrust the spiritual defeat of ISIS to the most powerful intercession of Mary, the Spiritual Mother of all peoples and the Mediatrix of all graces.
