Please pray the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary EVERY DAY for peace, the ending of abortion, and for the intentions of the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI.
Please pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Daily for the mercy of God upon us, the faithful, the Pope, all Bishops, all Priests, all religious, those who do not believe in God and who do not yet know Jesus, the Holy souls in purgatory, all in need, those who have left the Church, those who attack the Church, and those who seek the ruin of the kingdom. May Jesus have mercy on us all.
Please pray the Stations of the Cross daily to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us and to encourage us to do the same for others. Abortion is a national tragedy and will not end without the intercession of Jesus and Mary.
This topic is worn out by over use. Yet, here are some statistics that may interest you. Only 5% of the world's population lives within the United States. Of that approx. 25% are Catholic and 75% total are Christian. If you are a Catholic in the U.S.A. you have been blessed more than 98.5% of the World's population. So we American Catholics have been blessed more than all of those people with living in the greatest country on the planet and having the fullness of the graces of Christ in His Church. This indeed is an awesome blessing and responsibility.
I for one do not live up to the measure of that grace. God is merciful and allows me to function in society as a free person able to worship Him as a Catholic without fear. So what is expected of me? To do what is right to live a Holy, Devote, Consecrated, Sanctified, and Obedient life. To defend the cause of the widow and orphan, the poor and the oppressed. To defend the cause of the innocent.
Our nation has sinned and what have we done to stop it? I submit all the demonstrations in the world will not change the act of abortion in our country. Only the intercession of Jesus and Mary will accomplish that. Please pray the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and the Stations of the Cross for peace, the ending of abortion, and the intentions of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict. Do this daily it takes about 30-40 minutes of time. You can do it at different times, whenever you have a moment. Pray for Jesus to have mercy on us. Talk to others who do not do this and see if they would be interested. Together our prayers can make a difference. Please do it today. God bless, Todd
This Apostolate is dedicated to spreading the Devotion to the Divine Mercy and Grace of our Lord Jesus for everyone and every need.

ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE ROSARY
SEPTEMBER 5, 1895
To Our Venerable Brethren the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and other Ordinaries in Peace and Communion with the Apostolic See.
11. Nay she has even, as this same Doctor claims, upheld and given strength to the "sceptre of the orthodox faith."[9] It has been her unremitting concern to see to it that the Catholic Faith stands firmly lodged in the midst of the people, there to thrive in its fertile and undivided unity. Many and well known are the proofs of her solicitude, manifested from time to time even in a miraculous manner. In the times and places in which, to the Church's grief, faith languished in lethargic indifference or was tormented by the baneful scourge of heresy, our great and gracious Lady in her kindness was ever ready with her aid and comfort.
12. Under her inspiration, strong with her might, great men were raised up-illustrious for their sanctity no less than for their apostolic spirit-to beat off the attacks of wicked adversaries and to lead souls back into the virtuous ways of Christian life, firing them with a consuming love of the things of God. One such man, an army in himself, was Dominic Guzman. Putting all his trust in our Lady's Rosary, he set himself fearlessly to the accomplishment of both these tasks with happy results.
13. No one will fail to remark how much the merits of the venerable Fathers and Doctors of the Church, who spent their lives in the defense and explanation of the Catholic Faith, redound to the Virgin Mother of God. For from her, the Seat of Divine Wisdom, as they themselves gratefully tell us, a strong current of the most sublime wisdom has coursed through their writings. And they were quick to acknowledge that not by themselves but by her have iniquitous errors been overcome.Finally, princes as well as Pontiffs, the guardians and defenders of the faith-the former by waging holy wars, the latter by the solemn decrees which they have issued- have not hesitated to call upon the name of the Mother of our God, and have found her answer powerful and propitious.
14. Hence it is that the Church and the Fathers have given expression to their joy in Mary in words whose beauty equals their truth: "Hail, voice of the Apostles forever eloquent, solid foundation of the faith,unshakable prop of the Church."[10] "Hail, thou through whom we have been enrolled as citizens of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church."[11]"Hail, thou fountain springing forth by God's design, whose rivers flowing over in pure and unsullied waves of orthodoxy put to flight the hosts of error."[12] "Rejoice, because thou alone hast destroyed all the heresies in the world."[13]
15. The unexampled part which the Virgin most admirably played and still plays in the progress, the battles, and the triumphs of the Catholic Faith, makes it evident what God has planned for her to do. It should fill the hearts of all good people with a firm hope of obtaining those things which are now the object of our common desire. Trust Mary, implore her aid.
