Mary in Every Home Campaign
“A number of years ago, I received a photo from you of the Blessed Mother. I had it in a drawer. When they closed down our churches due to the coronavirus, I couldn’t go to Mass anymore. So a group of us set up a conference call to pray together. For these phone calls, I set up this picture of Our Lady and lit a votive candle while we prayed. I also led the rosary for us on Monday and Wednesday nights. Praying in front of this particular image of Our Lady for many months has softened my heart. I imagine her in the room with me as a form of meditation, and I have fallen more deeply in love with her as my Mother. Having this beautiful experience with the Blessed Mother, I definitely want to have my consecration to Her Immaculate Heart pledge card taken to Fatima. I feel honored and privileged that you would do this for me. God bless you and all the work you do. Peace be with you!” — E.G., Cleveland, Ohio
Saint Michael… Defend Us in Battle
Rally Report: Pray for Our Police!
On April 17, 2021, a thousand Public Square Rosary Rallies took place all across America. These rallies were held in support of law enforcement officials and to pray to their patron, Saint Michael the Archangel, to watch over and protect them in their courageous efforts to maintain law and order amid the current climate of chaos, rioting and ongoing violence. Rally participants fervently asked Our Lady to inspire our law enforcement officers with the virtues of fortitude, confidence and justice.
The response of the public was overwhelmingly positive, with a tiny minority of negatives. Every sane, reasonable person knows that society needs the police to protect him and keep our communities safe and orderly. Law enforcement is grateful for the support, which is denied by the media and culture at large:
As evil advances in our society and attacks against essential institutions increase, let us redouble our gratitude for the police officers, showing them our support with continuing rallies, prayers and sacrifices whenever the opportunity presents itself. ■
