Pope St. Pius V trusted in the power of Our Lady's intercession through the Holy Rosary to save Christendom. He asked Christians everywhere to pray the Rosary for the victory of the united Christian fleet against the Mohammedan Turks. On 7 October 1571, at the Battle of Lepanto, the Turkish fleet was defeated, and the Catholic Church now celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Rosary every year on October 7.
After World War II, Fr. Petrus Pavlicek of Austria led a Rosary Crusade to save his country from communist domination. In 1955, the Soviet forces occupying their zone of Austria pulled out.
Our Lady's powerful intercession can stop a lesser but none the less important planned cause- the construction of 13-story Mohammedan center/mosque 2 blocks away from Ground Zero in New York City.
Please pray the Rosary on the feast of the Assumption with the intention that this mosque isn't built.
August 15 is also the 90th anniversary of the "Miracle on the Vistula," when the outnumbered Polish army drove back the invading Bolshevik army. Many of the Polish soldiers saw a vision of Our Lady during the battle.
Well there you go. That’s what happened to all the oil. Prayed away. It’s as good, if not better, explaination that anything else I’ve heard.
And I’m not even Catholic.
I know. I wish I could find a way to give God the glory for performing a miracle that truly not even the greatest country in the world could accomplish.
I believe that Pope John Paul II gave the banner that was captured from the infidels back to them before he died. That act in itself shows the futility in trying to appease these lying dogs!
Sorry, I didn’t read the whole posting. Didn’t mean to be redundant!
Yes, a copy of the image was on Andrea Doria's flagship, if I remember correctly.
Glad to be here! We even took Da Dogz for the St. Francis Day blessing.
They are just lovely.
They are all just happy people.
God bless them. :-)
We don’t like no “stuffy” people. ;-)
Rosary Reminder Ping (you might do the list again to make sure everyone sees it).
Just wanted to send you a reminder. :) Thanks for your commitment!
Thanks. It was needed!
This is also a prayer thread and no debate of any kind is allowed on this thread.
Did this yesterday.
No prayer, especially a Rosary, will be in vain!
