A good reason for all Christians to unite in prayer THE UNITED STATES AND THE FUTURE
OF THE WORLD MAY VERY WELL DEPEND ON THE UNITING OF CHRISTIANS OF EVERY FAITH
AND THE ROSARY CAN BE THE UNIFYING PRAYER! Our Lord declared if one would be His disciple,
he would have to bear crosses in their life. In the life-span of every true
Christian the joy of life are intermingled with sorrows, with suffering and
sacrifice, which if borne in the spirit of the gospel, eventually lead to glory.
All Christians
should unite in prayer against the forces of evil which are meeting with greater
success in their efforts to draw men into sin, and “Wars are a punishment from
God for sin.” Everywhere in the world there has been a tremendous increase in
terrorism, abortions, divorce, birth control, paganism, materialism and
secularism, homosexuality, prostitution, juvenile delinquency, sex crimes, and
immorality in general have increased to an alarming degree since World War II.
Much of this has been caused by the indecent fashions, and much by the filthy
propaganda reaching Americans through the movies television, radio, newspapers,
and particularly through the overwhelming torrent of indecent literature which
has deluged us the past several years. Money, material possessions, fame and
power have become the “gods” worshipped by millions of Americans today. Men,
women, and children are now turning to drugs and over indulging in alcohol
instead of to God for the solution to life’s problems. Worst of all there
is an organized attempt, which is coming out into the open more all the time,
"to deny the existence of God", and to destroy Him in the minds of the youth,
and to take God out of our schools, and our country. All of these and many other
crimes will combine to bring down upon us the wrath of God in the form of
suffering, persecution and even atomic war—that may well be the end of our
civilization. Think about this !
Putting the peace plan into action: We must do Penance and Reparation. By penance,
Our Lady explained that men must amend their lives, give up their easy lives of
sin, ask pardon for their sins, and make reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so grievously offended by the sins of men. By
reparation, Our Lady means 1) offering sacrifice to atone for our sins, 2)
fulfilling our daily duties to the best of our abilities, 3) accepting the
responsibilities of our state in life, 4) and we must obey the Commandments of
God. Every Christian can do this. The sacrifice Our Lord requires of each of us
is that sacrifice necessary to avoid sin and the occasion of sin and to accept
with submission all the suffering sent to us. Also, we should make everything we
do a sacrifice, and in offering it to God, we should say this prayer: “O my
Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in
reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”
Our lady pleaded and insisted that men must say the daily Rosary. Reparation holds back the hand of God from striking the world in just punishment for its many crimes. The Rosary is like a sword or weapon the Mother of God can use to cut down heresy and the forces of evil. It is most powerful, and many times it has saved the world from situations as bad as, if not worse than, the situations facing us today.
The
Rosary is for Everyone The Evolution Of The Prayer “Hail Mary”
