My Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Would you please kneel in prayer and join me in praying for the “Wisconsin Battle Ready Family Tour” held in 19 parishes, from February 21 to March 25, 2015? Thank You!!

I encourage all of you to invite Doug Barry to your part of the world for a spiritual “Battle Ready” Rally.

“A Great prayer for life is urgently needed … prayer and fasting are the first and most effective weapons against the forces of evil.” Pope St. John Paul II

“For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.” -Eph 6:12

Here is the prayer …

Dear God, we praise you and we thank you for life and your precious gift of Divine Love.  We ask in humility and pray in bold confidence, in union with Our Lady of America, for the intercession of the Three Hearts of the Holy Family, the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Eternal union with the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for unfathomable graces to be poured out upon the Wisconsin Battle Ready Rally Family Tour February 21 – March 25, 2015 and all spiritual endeavors undertaken to build the culture of life.  We ask that through these intercessory prayers, the transforming Power of God’s Grace be supercharged and unleashed through the gifts of the Holy Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Counsel, Fortitude, Piety, and Fear of God, upon the Wisconsin Battle Ready Tour so that lives are touched, hearts are transformed and inspired to change from sinners to saints, and wills are strengthened to inspire all to be the men, women, and children God made us to be.

By thy Holy and Immaculate Conception, Oh Mary, Deliver us from Evil.  Amen 

St. Joseph, Pray for Us!

St. Francis of Assisi, Pray for Us!

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for Us!

St. Joan of Arc, Pray for Us!

 

* DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT DATE TODAY? This is also, providentially, the anniversary date of when Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to Sr. Maria Faustina and asked her to paint an Image of Him.  Please read below …

A vision reveals the image: On Feb. 22, 1931, Sr. Faustina Kowalska, a Sister of Our Lady of Mercy, was in her convent in Plock, Poland, when Jesus appeared to her:

I saw the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garment. One hand was raised in the gesture of blessing, the other was touching the garment at the breast. From beneath the garment slightly drawn at the breast, there were emanating two large rays, one red, the other pale. In silence I kept my gaze fixed on the Lord; my soul was struck with awe, but also with great joy. After a while, Jesus said to me: “Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world.” –Diary of St. Faustina, 47
