RESPECTED FRIENDS,
I realize you must be in the midst of your Thanksgiving preparations, but if I could steal a moment of your time. With the Fatima Centennial just around the corner, I have decided it is time to get rosaries into the hands of 2 million Americans. Did you know that at EACH AND EVERY of the six Fatima apparitions, Our Lady asked us to do just one thing—
PRAY THE ROSARY…..
So let us do that. Or at least help with the Rosary effort.
But I will need your help! No way will I be able to do this on my own.
Can you please help me with the 2 Million Rosary Campaign?
I would be so very thankful if you would!
Our Blessed Mother at Fatima told the children:
Pray the Rosary… Pray the Rosary… Pray the Rosary.
It is that simple! It is that powerful!
I just read this quote by Sister Lucia, the oldest of the Fatima seers:
The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families … that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.
Respected friends, we have a great deal to be thankful for in America.
But we have to honestly accept that the situation in America is not all good.
A recent report shows a growing satanic trend spreading rapidly amongst our youth; Satanists gaining entrance into our schools. Yes, it is official. And schools are beginning to let them in, and to “teach”!
Satanists teaching our children alternative ways to Christianity. In America!
And Respected friends , between you and I, I am not entirely surprised because after decades of abortion and now all sorts of sexual aberrations contradicting God’s ways it is no surprise Satan is finding a free path in America
But the idea of giving up will not cross our minds. We need to keep on fighting. The crazier things get, the more faithful we need to be.
The more we need to pray and spread the Rosary!
If Our Lady at Fatima spoke so much about it, she knows it is the Password to the solution and to the salvation of souls.
And the Rosary is the best weapon against the devil and against all the evils that assail our beautiful nation.
I think Our Lady wants a team effort, she wants us to fight for her together, to fight to spread her Rosary.
But before you go, I want to share this story by Saint Louis de Montfort with you.
It would be a really good story to read out loud to those assembled around your Thanksgiving table:
One day, hearing of the holiness of St. Dominic, great apostle of the Rosary, a certain lady of great virtue decided to make her confession to him. For penance the saint told her to say a Rosary and advised her to make its recitation her daily practice.
“But, Father, “ she protested, “I already say so many prayers and practice so many exercises…I walk the Stations of Rome every day, I wear sack-cloth and a hair-shirt, I scourge myself several times a week, and often fast…”
But the saint insistently advised her to adopt the recitation of the Rosary. The woman would not hear it. In order to satisfy the penance imposed, she prayed a single Rosary, but not any more after that.
One day, when she was saying her prayers, she was shown a vision. In this vision she saw her soul appear before the Supreme Judge. She also saw St. Michael holding the scale of her life. On one side he placed all her prayers and penances, and on the other all her sins and imperfections. Down went the scale on the side of her sins, outweighing all her good works.
Wide eyed, the good lady cried out for mercy, and turned to Our Lady imploring her help. Our Lady then gently set down on the tray of her good works the only Rosary she had ever said, which was the one St. Dominic had imposed on her as a penance.
This one Rosary was so heavy that it outweighed all her sins as well as good works.
Our Lady then reprimanded her for having refused to follow the counsel of her son Dominic and for refusing to adopt the practice of the daily recitation of the Rosary.
When the lady came to her senses, she rushed to St. Dominic and casting herself down at his feet, told him what had happened. She begged forgiveness for her unbelief, and promised to say the Rosary faithfully every day.
And for us today, Our Lady of Fatima gave “a new efficacy” to the Rosary; and she meant it!
And this is why you and I need to get 2 million rosaries into the hands of Americans everywhere.
If you can help please do so. If you cannot, please pray for this enterprise. Your prayers will open someone else’s heart. Someone who can afford to help.
With a small donation of $9, I can buy and distribute 3 Rosaries, or with $19 I can buy and distribute 7.
My good friend, thank you for all you have done and for all your generosity in the past.
This Thanksgiving, I will be thanking God for all your prayers and sacrifices on behalf of Our Lady of Fatima.
May God bless you and please pray for me and I will always do the same for you.

I remain your friend,
In Jesus and Mary,
