2013 Our Lady of Fatima Rosary Rally

Mother Mary protected us from the wind and rain by her mantle this afternoon.  

We had a wonderful turn out for our rally this year especially since we didn't prepare 

that far in advance.  

In fact, we initially felt that we would join another local rally however;

we felt the nudging of the Blessed Mother to do this for her Son and she was not to be ignored!

With rosaries in hand, we had about 40 Fatima apostles today who stood in the public square praying for peace, conversion of hearts and repentance. 

We joined in with over 11,000 public rosary rallies today across the US.  

All praying for the conversion of America.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Peace & Blessings,

Noreen

2012 Public Square Rosary Rally

On Saturday, October 13th, I co-coordinated a Public Square Rosary Rally 

in my town to pray for our nation.  

This date is significant.  

It was the 95th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, Portugal

 where thousands of people converted.

Our Lady's message was simple.

Prayer.

Reparation.

Repentance.

Sacrifice.

Abandonment of Sin.

Back to the this year's rally:

The weather was terrible.  

It rained and rained.  

It was cold and windy.

About 40 men and women braved the inclement weather and joined us to pray the rosary for the conversion of hearts and reparation of the sins of our nation.  

We were part of a nationwide rosary rally that day at noon.

And I mean nationwide.

There were over 9,000 rallies with prayer warriors out in a public setting.

It was amazing.

Here are a few pictures I managed to take:

About half the people left right after we sang O Sanctissima so this picture only shows about half of the people.  I was incredibly moved how many people showed up 

considering the steady rainfall and wind.

These men and women are committed to honoring Our Lady of Fatima's wishes 

to honor God and her son, and pray for our nation! 

Blessings,

Noreen

An Allegory

I heard this allegory that is so fitting to our world today.  "We are like frogs who are put in a pot of water, as the water is heated up, the frog does not jump out of the pot.  Instead he falls asleep and is killed."

We are the frogs in the pot of this world and we are the souls which are falling asleep and letting our society run amok.

We as Christians must stand up for God's truth,
we must follow the teachings of the church,
we must stay focused on Jesus and not be swayed.

Our Lady of Fatima warned against "diabolical disorientation" in the latter 20th Century and on.  She warned how, "We cannot and we must not stop ourselves, nor allow, as Our Lord says, the children of Darkness to be wiser than the children of Light... The Rosary is the most powerful weapon for defending ourselves on the field of battle."


Those words of "We cannot let the children of Darkness be wiser than the children of Light" jumped right out at me.  How do we become wiser?  Through prayer and fasting.


St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, who predicted in the middle 1800s, “Every American would have a black box in their home through which the devil would enter.”  The TV?  Or Computer?  It could be either because both in and of itself are morally neutral, it's what we do with them that counts.  Does it keep us from devoting time in prayer?  Reading scripture?  Praying as a family?  Spending time together as a family?


 It is because the devil has succeeded in infiltrating evil under the cover of good, and the blind are beginning to guide others, as the Lord tells us in His Gospel, and souls are letting themselves be deceived... this is another message Our Lady gave to Sister Lucy.


Then, I ask myself, how can we be so easily deceived if we have the gifts of the Holy Spirit?  


I heard a priest talk about St. Thomas More and he said "it was a daily battle to stop the mutterings, which lead to negligence that separates me further from God."


We must remember the Holy Spirit is here to give us His gifts because we can do nothing on our own.


May God Richly Bless You,
