Thank You, Sam! The Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help draws near. Let us recommend all Muslims to Her that She may work Her wonders and obtain many conversions for us. One story I just read, "A Pakistani convert to Christianity who nearly blew herself up in the name of Allah says a spiritual journey that began with a dream transformed her from being a jihadi-minded teen into a devout Christian who's making disciples for Christ." https://www.christianpost.com/news/...aced-death-tells-her-story-defying-jihad.html From: http://maryourhelp.org/novena-to-our-lady-of-perpetual-help-day1.html ACT OF CONTRITION My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, my father and redeemer, behold at Thy feet a poor sinner who has so grievously afflicted Thy loving Heart. O lovable Jesus, how could i have offended thee and filled with bitterness that Heart that love me so and that has spared no effort to attain my love? How great has been my in gratitude! But, O my saviour, be consoled, be consoled, I say to thee; now i find myself repentant, such grief i feel for the afflictions i have caused thee, that i would like to die of poor sorrow and contrition. O my Jesus! who could have make me weep for sin as Thou hast wept for them in Thy mortal life! My soul is oppressed for having offended Thee. eternal father, in satisfaction for my offences I offer Thee the affliction and sorrow the Heart of Thy Divine Son has felt for them. And Thou, O Loving Jesus! give me such a horror for sin that from now on it may make me avoid even the most trifling of faults. Depart from my heart, earthly affections; I do not want to love anything now but my most bountiful Redeemer. O my Jesus, help me, strengthen me, and pardon me. My Mother of perpetual help, intercede for me and obtain for me the pardon of my sins. PREPARATORY PRAYER (To be said everyday) O Most Blessed Virgin Mary! Who to inspire us with boundless confidence has been pleased to take the sweet name of Mother of Perpetual help, I implore Thee to come to my aid always and everywhere, in my temptations, after my falls, in my difficulties, in all the miseries of life, and above all, at the hour of my death. Give me, O loving Mother, the desire, nay more, the habit always to have recourse to Thee, for i feel assured that if i am faithful in invoking Thee, Thou will be faithful in coming to my assistance. Obtain for me, then, this grace of graces, the grace to pray to Thee without ceasing, and with childlike trust, that, by means of my constant plea, I may ensure Thy Perpetual Help and final perseverance. Bless me, O tender and solicitous Mother, pray for me now and at the hour of my death. Amen FIRST DAY MEDITATION The Title Our Lady of perpetual Help Among the innumerable titles under which Christian piety is pleased to invoke the Blessed virgin, there are few that are as likely to lift our hearts and fill them with unlimited confidence as the sweet name of Mother of perpetual Help, a name that pleases Her so ...
This Ramadan Rosary Crusade ends tomorrow, June 27th. We should consider making it a perpetual Rosary Crusade, ending only when the last Muslim has been delivered from Islam and converted to Baptism and Jesus Christ. Anyway, thanks be to God, there are and will be millions of conversions of Muslims to Christ. "Salafi Muslim converts to Christianity after dreaming about Jesus:" "KOBANI, Syria (Reuters) - A community of Syrians who converted to Christianity from Islam is growing in Kobani, a town besieged by Islamic State for months, and where the tide turned against the militants four years ago.": https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...-once-besieged-by-islamic-state-idUSKCN1RS19N "The Islamic State has been filling the headlines for a long time and filling the hearts of many people in the Middle East with fear. But in the midst of all this, the church in the Middle East is showing the love of Christ to those who fled their homes. In the Middle East, Muslims converting to Christianity is now happening on a large scale." https://www.opendoorsusa.org/christ...turn-to-christ-in-unprecedented-numbers-pt-1/ "More and more Kurdish Muslims living in Iraq are turning to Christ after witnessing the brutality of extremist groups like ISIS, who carry out horrific acts in the name of Allah, Christian aid workers have revealed. A ministry leader in the Kurdish Region of Iraq told the Christian Aid Mission that his organization can barely keep up with the desire of refugees to learn about Christ and the Bible, which has grown increasingly strong since ISIS overtook many parts of the region. "They're just sick of Islam," he said. "People are very hungry to know about Christ, especially when they hear about miracles, healing, mercy and love." http://orthochristian.com/87421.html Thanks be to Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces, and to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and thanks to all who participated. Many great feasts are still upcoming. Shall we go on, dear brothers and sisters in Christ? Shall we keep it as a permanent prayer intention, for Muslims everywhere? We should also pray for Muslims in Europe to convert; some who have are, tragically, even threatened in European countries. That is sad, those threatening are criminals. But we should pray for them. https://cruxnow.com/church-in-europ...ian-refugees-in-the-netherlands-face-threats/ This aggressive video, "How Islam is taking over Europe", claims Muslims will become 8% of Europe by 2030, according to current projections: If we fight strongly against Islamism, with our hands armed with the beads of the Rosary, with our knees bent before Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother, as the Feasts of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart are just coming up, Our Lady, like She intervened in Lepanto to turn the tide, may again intervene today in some new way, bringing many Muslims to Christ, and in other ways, saving Europe again.
To review: Two months ago, at the board meeting for our local low-powered Catholic radio station (http://kcrd-fm.org/) after the official meeting ended so that this would not be included in the meeting minutes, I brought up promoting the Ramadan Rosary next year. The support was immediate and massive. I'm in the process of developing the materials (sheets with the prayers and a calendar to use to mark off the dates) and have contacted some former Muslims who are now Catholic on the best ways to proceed. I'm praying to see if this is something that we can make available to other Catholic radio stations in the US so that it's not just something we in our small part of Iowa are doing. I have no doubt that when (not if) that happens and the devotion is spread, there will be a major backlash, partly from people calling us haters and Islamophobes, and partly from people who have been raised being taught that we as Catholics are not to pray for the conversion of any one set of people. To those who claim to be Catholic and tell us we are wrong to do this, I will issue a challenge: that they pray the 54-Day Rosary Novena with the intention of BLOCKING our prayers. If what we are doing is sinful, then it would be a great mercy for them to pray for us that we cease these hateful activities. I would then ask them how far they got in the Novena: how many days did they complete before they gave up? I know that I have tried praying for certain intentions but stopped after a few days. After meditating, I realized I was not praying for what G_D wanted me to pray for. Come to think of it, maybe it's time to claim the domain name www.ramadanrosary.org so materials and testimonies can be posted there, plus we can generate email addresses with that domain. This would protect us from those who would track us down using our regular email addresses. I'll start working on it tonight. I don't know if we could get by with it using Google Web, so I'll see what other free sites there are that could host this. Barring that, I'll see what low-cost Christian hosting sites are out there. I'll let you all know what I find.
Thank You, Muzhik. That sounds wonderful. Friends. There are great feast days coming up. For e.g. beginning on 30th June, 26th July will be the end of the first 3 Novenas of Petition. And 26th July is the Feast of St. Joachim and of St. Anne, the holy Parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Then, if we begin the 3 Thanksgiving Novenas after that, we will end precisely on August 22nd. What is August 22nd? 7 days after the Assumption of the Blessed Mother into Heaven, it is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary/Queenship of Mary, in the Traditional and New Calendar respectively: "August 22 is the Feast of The Immaculate Heart of Mary, Traditional Calendar and the Queenship of Mary, the New Calendar. October 11 is the Feast of the Divine Maternity, both Calendars and the Queenship of Mary, Traditional Calendar. On the 11th OF October 1954, Pope Pius XII established the Feast of the Queenship of Mary to be celebrated throughout the world, and commanded that on that day each year, the world should renew its consecration to her. In the future the Feast came to be celebrated on 22nd of August. "The purpose of the Feast is that all may recognize more clearly and venerate more devoutly the merciful and motherly sovereignty of her who bore God in her womb" (Ven. Pius XII, Ad. Coeli Reginam). On the day of her Assumption, Mary our Mother was solemnly crowned by Christ and received by the whole court of Heaven as Queen. What Christ has done in Heaven and the Church has done on our behalf we should now do individually, that is, we should recognize Mary's Queenship, enthrone her in our homes, consecrate ourselves to her and, by this means, establish in our lives the reign of Mary Immaculate Queen of the Universe." http://www.catholictradition.org/Mary/queenship-mary.htm So, if there is no objection, let's go for round 2 of this Novena and Rosary Crusade, in honor of Our Mother's Parents, and of Her Immaculate Heart and Queenship. This time, we will make 3 more specific requests: (1) For Christians who've converted from Islamism and are persecuted to be sheltered and strengthened by God, (2) For Islamist radicals and persecutors of Christians to become like new Sauls changed into Saint Pauls, and finally, (3) for millions more Muslims around the world to be converted to Christ, receive Holy Baptism, enter the Catholic Church, and be saved. There already are many Muslims worrying that, in Africa, for e.g., Islamism is going to vanish and be replaced by Christianity quite soon, possibly in another 10 to 20 years. "Islam used to represent, as you previously mentioned, Africa's main religion and there were 30 African languages that used to be written in Arabic script. The number of Muslims in Africa has diminished to 316 million, half of whom are Arabs in North Africa. So in the section of Africa that we are talking about, the non Arab section, the number of Muslims does not exceed 150 million people. When we realize that the entire population of Africa is one billion people, we see that the number of Muslims has diminished greatly from what it was in the beginning of the last century. On the other hand, the number of Catholics has increased from one million in 1902 to 329 million 882 thousand (329,882,000)... As to how that happened, well there are now 1.5 million churches whose congregations account for 46 million people. In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Ever year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity. These numbers are very large indeed." Please see. From: https://virtueonline.org/six-million-african-muslims-convert-christianity-each-year Prayer brings victory always, especially the Prayer of the Rosary. Let us pray much and more will convert.
Ramadan begins on the 23rd of this month (Actually its still March 31st, my time here, but I figured I'd post this now, rather than tomorrow) and ends on May 23rd. What are our plans for this year's Rosary Crusade? Shall it be the same as last year's, or shall we change a few things?
Let it be the same as last year. I'll be honest: I've claimed the domain name "ramadanrosary.net" last year. I have all but given up on making the website, much less making it the way I imagined, because I cannot seem to figure out how to get WordPress to do what I want. If anyone knows someone who knows WordPress and is willing to work for the Glory of God and maybe some chocolate chip cookies, please LMK.
Alright, so a 54-Day Rosary Novena and the Fatima Novena for the Conversion of Muslims? Sorry, I would love to see "ramadanrosary.net" up and running, but I have no experience with WordPress.
I forgot that Ramadan starts today! (probably yesterday for some people here) I mistakenly thought it started on 26th for some reason. Well, I invite everyone to start saying your Rosary for the conversion of Muslims from now, until May 23rd; start you 54-Day Rosary Novena if you can! (fortunately I've got mine scheduled on my smart phone.)
Ramadan begins on April 13th and ends on May 12th, (right before the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima!) I highly recommend that people set aside time say the Rosary for them this Lent, their global jihadist ideology is separate from the Davos Capitalist-Marxist-Hegelian-Synthesist ideology that’s dominating China and the west; thus these people could actually be a wild card in what’s happening in the world around us.
Ramadan begins around April 1st or 2nd and lasts until around April 30th or May 1st. Please join me in this one and include my friend I mentioned who cannot convert because his parents are Muslim.
RW, cannot commit to the 54-day Rosary, but will dedicate it as frequently as possible. God bless you for making such a wonderful commitment.
