Greetings of Peace and Love! October
is the month of the Holy Rosary. For
many centuries, countless Saints and
Blesseds found joy and meaning in
praying the Rosary. The Rosary is the
most powerful prayer we can possess
in our daily battle of life. The Rosary
devotion leads us to Mission! Faith without
action is dead. Our Blessed Mother
brings us closer to the poor, needy and
neglected. Here is a picture of the youth
of St. Thomas, Davao Del Norte, and
mothers of Makilala. They are grateful
for your generosity to hasten the Triumph
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Mrs. Patti, I do not know how I can
really thank you for your generosity.
The Sacramentals you are sending me
are very special. They help me in my
mission to draw souls closer to God. The
books are very helpful to our catechists
and lay partners. The personal gifts for
me are wonderful. Many souls benefit
from your generosity. I can only promise
prayers and remembrance in my daily
Holy Mass, and hours of adoration
remembering your intentions, together
with your staff, benefactors, promoters
and members of the ULRA. Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you! I would like to
request from you to always pray for me
that I may continue “to be a joy to
the Lord, a gift to His Church, and
faithful to my sacred priesthood.”
God bless you and keep you safe!

Dear Patti Melvin, thank you very
much for your letter and for all the
documents you sent me by post. I confirm
that the lists of all the names of
the Scapular Confraternity remain near
the statue of the Virgin Mary of Mount
Carmel in our Basilica in Haifa. I thank
you also for the Mass stipends from
March till July. Many pilgrims start
to arrive from all over the world in
honor of the Virgin Mary and the
Prophet Elias. My community of Stella
Maris Monastery prays for you and for
the Scapular Confraternity of the USA.
God bless you all!
