In order to gain a plenary indulgence, it is suggested that the
faithful offer one OUR FATHER, HAIL MARY and GLORY BE,
for the intentions of Holy Mother the Church or intentions of
the Pope, which are one and the same. These intentions are
not often expounded and, in recent years, many are completely
unaware of wh at they are. These are:
† The Exaltation of the Church
† The Propagation of the Faith
† The Extirpation of Heresy and Schism
† The Conversion of Poor Sinners
† Peace among Christian Princes
† The Welfare of all Christian People
The Church Herself is in a great tempest as She is under
assault both from the modernist liberal forces within Her,
as well as secular and atheistic external forces. With immoral and scandalous
priests within and the corrupted governments and politicians assaulting Her
rights, it is imperative that we pray for the exaltation of Holy Mother the Church
without which it is not possible to be saved. Our missionaries have vanished in
large part because we no longer pray for them. The average Catholic today is
exposed to more heresies and errors than ever before in history.
M
odernism is the synthesis of all heresies, along with relativism, religious liberty
and false ecumenism. These heresies are so pervasive that both the religious and
the faithful have succumbed. What can we do to stop heresy? We must pray to
God, through Our Lady, to crush it! Our Lady of Fatima told the three children
that many souls go to Hell, because there is no one to pray for them. We can
make holy hours of reparation at home or before the Blessed Sacrament and
offer up all our prayers, sufferings and actions during the day. Only 100 years
ago, the world was plunged into the “war to end all wars” as Catholic Nations
fought and annihilated each other.
Today, the Faith has further eroded in Europe and we have seen the rise of
democratic, atheistic nations. God no longer reigns as King! Do we pray for
Catholic governments to advance the rights of God and restore true charity to
all? Holiness must be restored to our lives and to our leaders.
Without prayer, this is not possible.
Pray when you are alone. Pray
together as a family. Pray the Rosary
as a parish. Reach out to those who
do not know how to pray and teach
them. They are longing to learn.
Souls are perishing because God is
being withheld from them. Pray for
them, pray with them and teach
them how to pray.
