SHRINE NEWS: We are working on the capability of providing live streaming services from the shrine, so people who cannot attend for whatever reason will be able to view from our live feed on our website, stay tuned.  October is the month of the Rosary, as well as Pro-Life month. The two are linked together. The violence and rioting we see throughout the country is the aftermath of the institutionalization of sin.  We are seeing the results played out in our streets.  The very thought of introducing or imposing marxist ideology into the mainstream tenets of our culture and government is the poison that Our Blessed Mother warned us about at Fatima.  “I will come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and for the practises of the Five First Saturdays.” She warned us if her request were not heeded, Russia would spread her errors throughout the world.  Who would’ve thought that this country would fall for such toxic propaganda after all that America has done to combat these forces while liberating many from its treacherous lies.  My fellow Crusaders now more than ever our nation needs our prayers, without them we will cease being that last great beacon of freedom in the world. The errors of Russia in the form of marxist ideology appear to be engulfing the entire world, add to it  the lack of respect for human life it is no wonder that Satan appears to have the upper hand and is leading us to a precipice. We are witnessing  the loss of a great number of souls through human sacrifice, the breakdown of the family, lawlessness, violence and anarchy. We have received a call from heaven, a call from the Cova, from our Lady to be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart, to take up our weapons, the rosary and scapular to help prevent the annihilation of nations including our own. Remember our Lady’s words that Hell is a place where many souls go who have no one to pray for them, pray for the poor souls, make sacrifices, live a spirit of penance, frequent the sacraments especially reconciliation and the Eurcharist.  Remember it is for “The Love of Jesus Christ, the conversion of sinners and to atone for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
