Wishing Our Blessed Mother A Happy Mother’s Day

There is no one in heaven, besides Jesus, who wishes us to lead our lives on earth in a way that will allow us to reach the heavenly reward and spend eternity in her presence.  Know that the Mother of God is pulling for you and wants to help if only you would place yourself in her hands as her child.  If you haven’t already done so, do it now!

Our Blessed Mother is always in the heavenly presence of her Divine Son.  Because of this you can find Our Lady in our Adoration Chapel with Jesus.  Stop by and wish her a happy Mother’s Day!

Fatima Anniversary

 First Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima

Beginning May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared six times to the 3 shepherd children at Fatima.  Each time she appeared she stressed the importance of saying the Rosary on a daily basis.  When we say the Rosary, Mary herself helps us to deepen our relationship with her Divine Son Jesus.  The Rosary is a powerful way we can turn to Mary with our needs and petitions.  Sister Lucia, one of the 3 children, said “there is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”

One of the best places to pray the Rosary is in our Adoration Chapel where we find the Real Presence of Our Lord and His Mother.  It is also where you can listen and hear what God has to say to you by simply sitting in His Silence.

 

Our Lord showers us with his blessings when we show him our love by making a weekly commitment to spend an hour in Adoration.  Every hour can accommodate additional Adorers; so make a commitment by going to www.adorationpro.org/ihmmi and clicking on the box that says:  ‘Weekly Commitment’.

How Can You Say 'No' When It's Mary Asking You?

 How Can You Say ‘NO’ When It’s Mary Asking You?

This week we celebrate the Ascension Of The Lord, and also commemorate the anniversary of Our Lady appearing at Fatima.  Both events happen Thursday, May 13.  The only request Mary repeated at each of her apparitions at Fatima was to pray the rosary every day for world peace. Since World War II, we have experienced a massive turning away from faith and the glorification and normalization of blasphemy and sin.  The world is in danger - our Church is in danger - both desperately need our prayers to ‘right the wrongs’ and get back on the road to redemption.  Has this effort started without YOU?

If you are not a regular Adorer, now is a good time to visit the Adoration Chapel to pray the rosary for both our world and our Church.  

Adoration gives us privileged access to the God of the universe.

 The secular world delights in keeping solitude from us.  Time spent in Adoration gives us back the gift of solitude letting us withdraw from ‘worldly’ cares and enter into oneness with God.

Feast - Our Lady Of The Rosary

 

O u r   L a d y  O f   T h e   R o s a r y

On October 7, we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.  Known for several centuries by the alternate title of “Our Lady of Victory”.  The feast day takes place in honor of a 16th century naval victory which secured Europe against Turkish invasion.  Pope St Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was invoked on the day of the battle through a campaign to pray the Rosary throughout Europe.

The power of the Rosary and the courage of the Catholic navies obtained a historic triumph over the Turks, and saved Christiandom from the advancing Turkish power.

Today, we desperately need Our Lady’s intervention through the Holy Rosary to turn back the moral, spiritual and physical treat we face as a nation.

Our Lady will overcome all these threats if we turn to Her in confident prayer and courageous action, just like She saved Christiandom in 1571.  Join the legions of fellow Christians who pray the Rosary daily.

Our Lady's Message at Medjugorje

 August 25, 2019

“Dear children!

Pray, work and witness with love for the Kingdom of Heaven that it may be good for you here on earth.

Little children, God will bless your effort a hundred fold; you will be witnesses among peoples, souls of unbelievers will feel the grace of conversion and Heaven will be grateful for your efforts and sacrifices.

Little children, witness with the Rosary in hand that you are mine and decide for holiness.

Thank you for having responded to my call. ”
