A Nigerian bishop says that he has seen Christ in a vision and now knows that the Rosary is the key to ridding the country of the Islamist terrorist organization Boko Haram. Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme says he is being driven by a God-given mandate to lead others in praying the Rosary until the extremist group disappears. “Towards the end of last year, I was in my chapel before the Blessed Sacrament … praying the Rosary, and then, suddenly, the Lord appeared,” Bishop Dashe told CNA April 18. In the vision, the prelate said, Jesus didn’t say anything at first, but extended a sword toward him, and he in turn reached out for it. “As soon as I received the sword, it turned into a rosary,” the bishop said, adding that Jesus then told him three times: “Boko Haram is gone.” “I didn’t need any prophet to give me the explanation,” he said. “It was clear that with the Rosary we would be able to expel Boko Haram.”… ..Bishop Dashe said he has a strong devotion to Christ’s mother and that “I never joke with ‘Mamma Mary.’ I know she is here with us.”.. “These terrorists … think that by burning our churches, burning our structures, they will destroy Christanity. Never,” Bishop Dashe told several hundred people of the #WeAreN2015 congress. “It may take a few months or a few years … but ‘Boko Haram is gone.’” He later told CNA that “prayer, particularly the prayer of the Rosary, is [what] will deliver us from the claws of this demon, the demon of terrorism. And, of course, it is working.”

The Catholics of Nigeria are being persecuted with a fury that can only be described as diabolical. This bishop was shown by Jesus Christ Himself that the Rosary is at his disposal to crush the demonic Boko Haram.
And we can pray with them, Catholics and Christians from all over the world can pray for these people, our brothers in Christ. We need to pray without ceasing, relying on God for every good gift, but praying as if everything depended on us. “Seek and ye shall find, knock and it will be opened to you.”
