A Call for a Rosary Novena

Count me in!

[omegatoo]

Me three!

I love when Fr. Corapi describes how St. Padre Pio used to say “Bring me my weapon” when he wanted his rosary.

I feel like we are in a true battle against evil in our country, and although I don’t do it as much as I should, I feel compelled to pray at least one rosary a day at least until the election (and beyond?) for the protection and preservation of our country.

I’d like to suggest we include Our Lady of Guadalupe in our devotions.

For those like me who need a little help getting started, I found some online virtual rosaries and some sources for audio rosaries. I spend a lot of time in the car, so I’m going to try to get in at least one a day while I’m driving.

Here are a few that I found:

Count my prayers, Dearest Mary, among the thousands who trust in your Grace and your promise to defeat the evil of the devil and all his snakes who plague our land.

Your in!!!!! :)

God bless you.

Thanks for the links!

Here are some other quotes from Padre Pio you might like:

“Prayer is the best weapon we possess. It is the key that opens the heart of God. “

“Hold on tightly to the Rosary. Be very grateful to the Madonna because it was she who gave us Jesus.”

“Love our Lady and make her loved; always recite the Rosary and recite it as often as possible.”

“Serene in our faith and tranquil in our soul, let us pray and continue to pray, because intense and fervent prayer pierces the heavens and is backed up by a Divine guarantee.”

I like that Divine guarantee part!!

“Just Do It!!” —Fr. Corapi

God Bless, GonzoII

I think we need to pray, not just that McCain/Palin win, but that there will not be any civil unrest as a result. Everything, anything is possible with God’s help and through Mary’s intercession.

Thank you for the links. I am playing the first with its nice hymn concurrently (very nice Flash application).

It is apparent that our way of life will be crushed UNLESS we pray the Rosary. The Rosary is like a single vaccination that can stop a whole plague.

Some people find it possible to pray FOR a certain candidate, political party, etc. I can’t do that, because all of these humans and human institutions are a mix of good and evil and I don’t want to pray for the evil part!

It is easier for me to pray that a certain candidate DOESN’T get elected, and that his obnoxious philosophies not be enacted.

It is infinitely easier yet to pray for the precious gifts Our Lord provided — living, breathing babies and the traditional family structure to nurture and protect them.

Thanks again. I will read the Rosary tonight in Latin on the fatima.org application.

I’ve got the mp3’s from this one
http://www.praytherosarywithme.org/index.html
in my car and have been listening to it on the way to school in the morning with my daughter.

I do pray specifically for McCain/Palin, but when I’m really depressed by the thought of what might happen my prayer is simply “God help us” LOL! (I think)

Anyway, with my daughter being 13 (AAAHHHH!) there are other aspects of my life besides politics where that prayer is needed just as desperately.

I’m glad you found the links useful, I think Fr. Corapi may have finally got me started on praying the rosary every day.

Love,
O2

For Monday, October 27th

Novena to Our Lady of Victory

At the behest of Father John Corapi, SOLT, and in union with a multitude of Catholics around the country we urge you to pray the Rosary with us to implore Our Lady of Victory for a pro-life result in the November 4th elections.

You may wish to begin your Rosary with this prayer: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and all the instruments of His Holy Passion that Thou mayest put division in the camp of Thine enemies, for as Thy beloved Son hath said, “a kingdom divided against itself shall fail” — Prayer given by Our Lord to Sister Marie de Sainte Pierre (1816-1848, Apostle of the Holy Face of Jesus), to divide and conquer revolutionary men.

Day one: Today is Monday October 27th.  Please pray the Five Joyful Mysteries

1.  The Annunciation

2.  The Visitation

3.  The Nativity

4.  The Presentation

5.  The Finding in the Temple

You might also wish to join Lepanto’08, a national four-year Rosary campaign for the Culture of Life.

Hate those typos. LOL!

[notaliberal]

I got my email from Father Corapi and said the Election Novena Rosary this evening. But I have been saying the Rosary for Life every night this past month.

Also, I saw that EWTN has the election Novena Rosary on their program schedule. I DVR’d it since I work when it comes on during the day. I didn’t see any evening repeats, but it is repeated after its initial showing at 6 am. What I did this evening was print out the Novena and then said the Rosary for Life that I have DVR’d.

God Bless You!

Imagine what miracles we would experience if every Catholic in the world followed your lead!
