Marriage is only between a man and a woman

This is a floodgate to horrific sins

Only God's marriage is fruitful and brings about human life! And homosexual "marriage" mocks God's plan for marriage and procreation, and opens the floodgates to unthinkable sins. By doing thousands of rosary rallies at this critical point in America's history, you and I can move God and the Blessed Mother to intervene and protect true marriage!

And I invite you to pray a rosary for marriage in a public place with a few friends.

It's simple. And we've done thousands of them for years.

You can become a rosary captain for God's marriage by filling out the enclosed reply form. Please also indicate on the reply card if you need a free marriage rally banner that says:

Marriage = One man + one woman! I will get that shipped out to you ASAP!

Already I've enclosed an instruction manual with my letter so you will know just what to do.

And if you have any questions, you can call me at 866-584-6012.

Not even Sodom and Gomorrah legalized homosexual "marriage." Tragically, our Supreme Court did and with that America has become worse than Sodom (not in our hearts, but on an official level).

Since you are a God-fearing soul, I don't need to explain to you what this means for the future of America and our children.

In good conscience, you and I cannot remain indifferent to this national sin.

But how can we fight back?By the supernatural power of the Holy Rosary. Because there is no problem, no matter how grave, that the rosary cannot solve, as the Blessed Mother told Sister Lucia of Fatima.

So, we MUST turn to the rosary to win this historic spiritual battle.

That's why we're planning rosary rallies all across America at noon on Saturday, March 23. We will beg Our Lord, Our Lady and Saint Joseph to favor true marriage and the traditional family. We will beg God to hear the cry of His people.

You are invited to be a rosary captain, which simply means to lead a rosary in a public place with a few friends. It's simple.

We did 21,145 rallies last October in the Public Square.

Let's do 3,000 for traditional marriage now!

So please become a rosary captain on March 23.

Our Blessed Mother is counting on you to become a rally captain.

And America Needs Fatima will support you, every step of the way.

As I said before, you can call 866-584-6012 for immediate assistance.

And in your instruction manual, you will find helpful tips and the full prayer program for the rally.

You will also receive a beautiful free banner that says, "God's Marriage = 1 Man + 1 Woman." (If you already have one, please use it.)

Plus, as we pray for God's marriage, we also pray and ask for the fulfillment of the Virgin Mary's promise at Fatima in these words:

"Finally, My Immaculate Heart will triumph!"

Her triumph is coming. Until then, we must proclaim to the world the hope and certainty in Her triumph.

So, please sign up to become a rosary rally captain today!

As I said, the rallies for God's marriage will take place in honor of St. Joseph, on the 23, close to his feast day, March 19th.

See, St. Joseph is our powerful patron. Why?

Because St. Joseph is the "Chaste Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary."

Never was there and never will there be a better, stronger, more perfect husband than Saint Joseph. The sacred and chaste marriage between St. Joseph and Our Lady was the holiest ever. Therefore, we ask St. Joseph to watch over us, to protect us and to restore Traditional Marriage.

And you can help restore traditional marriage by uniting yourself with Our Lady and St. Joseph and by doing a rosary rally.

In fact, most Americans love and support traditional marriage. On our public street campaigns, we see a majority of honks and thumbs up even in places where you wouldn't expect it. You can see a video of HONKS in Brooklyn in support of God's marriage by CLICKING HERE.

But the liberal media and the radical homosexual movement work hard to move and finance large public opinion campaigns to replace traditional marriage with same-sex "marriage."

They even call these unnatural and sinful arrangements "families."

Sadly, many politicians and clergy who support traditional marriage fail to stand up to the advancing homosexual agenda. That is why the lay Catholics like you and I must do it!

So, please stand with thousands of rosary captains, with St. Joseph and with the whole heavenly court and do a rosary rally on March 23.

Thank you!

I remain,.....................


JOHN CHRYSOSTOM

“[The pagans] were addicted to the love of boys, and one of their wise men made a law that pederasty . . . should not be allowed to slaves, as if it was an honorable thing; and they had houses for this purpose, in which it was openly practiced. And if all that was done among them was related, it would be seen that they openly outraged nature, and there was none to restrain them. . . . As for their passion for boys, whom they called their paedica, it is not fit to be named” (Homilies on Titus 5 [A.D. 390]).

“[Certain men in church] come in gazing about at the beauty of women; others curious about the blooming youth of boys. After this, do you not marvel that [lightning] bolts are not launched [from heaven], and all these things are not plucked up from their foundations? For worthy both of thunderbolts and hell are the things that are done; but God, who is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forbears awhile his wrath, calling you to repentance and amendment” (Homilies on Matthew 3:3 [A.D. 391]).

“All of these affections [in Rom. 1:26–27] . . . were vile, but chiefly the mad lust after males; for the soul is more the sufferer in sins, and more dishonored than the body in diseases” (Homilies on Romans 4 [A.D. 391]).

“[The men] have done an insult to nature itself. And a yet more disgraceful thing than these is it, when even the women seek after these intercourses, who ought to have more shame than men” (ibid.).

“And sundry other books of the philosophers one may see full of this disease. But we do not therefore say that the thing was made lawful, but that they who received this law were pitiable, and objects for many tears. For these are treated in the same way as women that play the whore. Or rather their plight is more miserable. For in the case of the one the intercourse, even if lawless, is yet according to nature; but this is contrary both to law and nature. For even if there were no hell, and no punishment had been threatened, this would be worse than any punishment” (ibid.).

AUGUSTINE

“[T]hose shameful acts against nature, such as were committed in Sodom, ought everywhere and always to be detested and punished. If all nations were to do such things, they would be held guilty of the same crime by the law of God, which has not made men so that they should use one another in this way” (Confessions 3:8:15 [A.D. 400]).

The Rosary to Heaven

You know the one about St. Peter investigating how souls were entering Heaven without his permission?

A funny and pious account of what Our Lady is doing in Heaven. 

Social networks are sharing the story that we reproduce below. It is certainly not a treatise on theology but, imperfections aside, it reflects how much Our Mother strives to help us reach out to Jesus — even when it is so hard for us to persevere in virtue.

It is said that St. Peter was once troubled when he noticed the presence of several souls whom he did not remember having let in through the doors of Heaven. He then began to investigate, and finally found the place they were sneaking in through.

He went diligently to the Lord and said to him,
“Jesus, I realized that we have several souls here that I do not remember letting in. I did some investigations and found out where they are coming from. I would like you to see it for yourself, if you don’t mind.”

Jesus, with all serenity, accompanied Peter and observed that, in fact, there was an entrance through which an impressive number of souls was constantly ascended to Heaven.

Still somewhat alarmed, St. Peter suggested:
“Should not we close this entrance, Lord?”
Jesus, smiling and even delighted with the scene, replied:
“No, no … Leave it alone. This is Mama’s thing!”

Mary had left a huge rosary hanging from a window, and through it a multitude of souls were climbing steadily up to Heaven.
It is no wonder that when we ourselves close the doors of Paradise with the bars of sin, Mary opens a window form us, so that we can always have a second (and third, and fourth) chance.

My Special Rosary from Medjugorje
By Joe Kohler
     Last fall, I received a special grace through the love and mercy of Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother that I feel I am supposed to share.
     I was in a motorcycle accident on October 10, 2016 at 2:00 in the afternoon. I was hit by a Jeep Patriot, thrown in the air, and my head struck and destroyed the windshield. My head hit the windshield so hard that I was knocked out and unconscious for about 30 minutes. I did receive a mild concussion along with two cracked ribs and three fractured lumbar vertebrae. The only visible evidence was a contusion on my lower back and multiple bruises.
     I was carrying my rosary that day. I always carry my very special rosary in my pocket. I have had it for over 10 years and it was a gift from Medjugorje. In addition, I also wear a Miraculous Medal and a Brown Scapular around my neck. I have a very strong devotion to Mary, our Blessed Mother.
     I do not remember anything about the accident, but I was told my full face helmet saved my life. When I first came home from the hospital two days after my accident, I began to realize the miraculous nature of what had happened to me. My arms and legs were not broken and I sustained no crippling injuries. Although I had intense pain, I was alive and I could think clearly and reflect on the whole event. The nurses in the trauma unit at the hospital told me that they had never seen anyone walk out of the hospital two days after a motorcycle accident. This comment enabled me to reflect more. I could have easily died. If you ever doubt the power of Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother, ask me! My survival and lack of serious injuries were truly miraculous. I walked out of the hospital unassisted in less than 48 hours! I am thankful, and overwhelmed by the love, mercy, and goodness of God.
     As soon as I got home, I realized my special Medjugorje rosary was missing and I was depressed. My clothes had been cut off of me in the emergency room because they did not know if I was badly hurt. The rosary was in my pocket. I called the hospital immediately, and they told me they would look for it and call me back if they found it. This was Wednesday, October 12, 2016. They never called back. I began grieving for my rosary!
     The next day, October 13, 2016 was the 99th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima. Although I did not realize the significance of that day then, a woman who I had been seeing for a couple of months broke off the relationship with a text message that day. The hurt, and pain from my accident and the fact that I was home alone recovering from injuries was only compounded, and I was getting depressed. I now realize that Mary through Jesus was ending a relationship that was comforting and seemed significant to me. As Paul Harvey used to say, "The rest of the story" was about to unfold.
Joe's Rosary

Joe's Rosary
     On Sunday, October 16, 2016, I felt like washing some clothes. By this time, only six days after the accident, I had already mastered the stairs again in my home. Another miracle! I went to the laundry room downstairs, loaded the machine and went back upstairs. I had several loads to do. With the first load done, I went downstairs, opened the washing machine and to my utter amazement, there was my Medjugorje rosary lying on top of the spun clothes! As anyone knows, spun clothes cling to the sides of the washer. My rosary was lying in an open position, like you would see with a deceased person holding a rosary in a casket. It was clearly visible on top of all of my clothes. I did not have to separate my clothes to retrieve it.
     Tears welled up in my eyes! My thoughts were all over the place. I knew immediately that Mary through Jesus had saved my life on October 10, 2016. She also returned my rosary to me even after it was lost in the hospital's emergency room. I was immediately inspired that I was not to keep this miracle to myself, but to share it with others. Praise God and our Blessed Mother! Our God is an awesome God and HE can do the impossible!
     Today, I am back to work, and I am 100% recovered from my injuries. I have no physical limitations and I can do anything I did before my accident. I share this story because the blessings I have received for having gone to Medjugorje in June, 2016 are ongoing. I wake up every day and I am thankful for another day.
     I will close with these thoughts. If you have never been to Medjugorje, GO! It is a place of miracles, and not all of them happen while you are there. Go to Mass daily, if possible, and receive the Eucharist. Carry a blessed rosary with you at all times and pray it daily. Wear the Brown Scapular and the Miraculous Medal around your neck. Go to Confession monthly. Live a life being thankful to God, and love others in your daily walk. Finally, listen to the monthly messages from Medjugorje and live them. Miracles can and will happen in your life when you have the eyes of faith. When you need Our Lady's protection the most, She will love and guide you to Jesus when you are in most need of His grace and mercy.
     Editor's note: Joe is a local dentist who lives in Erie, PA. His injuries did not impair his ability to practice dentistry. He shared his story with me back when it happened, and I had asked him to write it up when he had time. One morning, Joe told me he could not sleep, so he got up, wrote the story and emailed it to me. We realized while talking that the day he wrote and sent it was a Marian feast day – the Feast of the Visitation!

DID ROSARY STOP HORRIFIC SERIAL KILLER?

DID ROSARY STOP HORRIFIC SERIAL KILLER?

"He had just murdered or fatally injured
all the other girls in a college sorority house,
and then entered her room --
but some unexplainable force made him stop,
drop his weapon, and flee.
"That particular girl had promised
her grandmother she would
pray the Rosary every night,
and when Ted Bundy entered her room,
she was still clutching
the Rosary beads in her hand."
