All in praise, honor and glory 
to the 
Blessed Trinity! 

OCTOBER 2002 UNTIL OCTOBER 2003
THE 
 YEAR OF THE ROSARY  

in an Apostolic Letter called ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE

and
Has added The  

luminous Mysteries

because our Holy Father knows well,  
the power of Our Lady's Rosary!!!

As revealed by the Blessed Virgin Mary to  Blessed Alan de la Roche, " ... the signs an wonders that I have brought about in many lands by reciting my Holy Rosary such as putting an end to horrible wars..."

 This confirms the apparitions of   
Our Lady of Guadalupe 
and her message 
 

to a meztizo Indian

in the geographic midpoint 
of the 
Continent of America in 1531!!

This is an icon painted about 20 years ago titled 
Our Lady of the Holy Protection. 
(The original image dates back to the year 911in Constantinople)  

The Muslims were coming to destroy the people!  
On September 30, 911, the people gathered to pray all night long in a church which guarded the holy veil of Our Lady.  
On October 1, 911, a lady came and knelt on the front step of the altar and prayed.  She turned around and took off her outer veil, holding it at the edges. (which is what she holds in her hands in the image and the Cross signifies that it is only through The Cross of her Son that she is able to intercede for us)  
On this veil appeared the Church in miniature and the people.  
Saints John the Evangelist and John the Baptist were on either side of her.  She later elevated into the air and then vanished from their eyes..  
It was Our Lady!   
When the Muslims came, the soldiers passed by the front and the back of the church not harming any of the town's people.

She has told Fr. Stefano Gobbi, who concelebrates Mass with the Holy Father, 
that 
"It is the time of the Cenacle!" (reading # 573) 

She is asking all of her children to not only gather together to pray , but to enter into the upper room 
(the upper room is where Christ and His Apostles ate the Last Supper at which the Eucharist was instituted, 
Christ appeared to the Apostles eight days after His death 
and  where the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles) 
of her 
Immaculate Heart 
and 
pray with her!

Here she promises to teach us to pray and to repent, 
to do penance 
and 
then we will be able to experience the 
true conversion 
of a 
change of heart and of life! 

The 
Continent of America

As children of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we must give her thanks for her powerful intercession.  It was the decision of the courts on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 2000 that lead to the finalization of the very controversial presidential election that had taken place on November 7th in the United States.  George W. Bush was certified president on the Feast of Christ the King.  Now we must continue to pray and fast for her intercession to end of the legalization of abortion in the United States of America.    We are encouraging that the Holy Rosary  continue to be said before the Blessed Sacrament, asking for Our Lady's most powerful intercession for this request!   

REMEMBER  ~~  St. Dominic received this powerful prayer in 1214 from the Blessed Virgin Mary as the means of converting the Albigensians who refused to acknowledge the sacraments, especially that of marriage.  They promoted sexual promiscuity and denied the Blessed Trinity.  This was 787 years ago BUT DOES THIS NOT SOUND  frighteningly familiar?    Our Lady told St. Dominic "I want you to know that in this kind of warfare, the battering ram has always been the Angelic Psalter (the Holy Rosary), which is the foundation stone of the New Testament.  Therefore, if you want to reach these hardened souls, and win them over to God, preach my Psalter!"

The United States, as a world leader must become pro-life once again!  AND  

stop promoting the "culture of death" within its boundaries and trying to enforce its misguided beliefs to other countries who are seeking financial help from them!  

Could this be one of the reasons why Our Lady weeps?

Remember, in 1917, The Blessed Mother, Mary, asked for prayer  (especially the Holy Rosary), conversion and penance.  That many souls go to Hell  because there is no one to pray and offer sacrifices for their conversion.  The three children were allowed to see a most terrifying vision of Hell.  The Blessed Mother told them, "Pray the Rosary and make reparation for poor sinners.  You have seen Hell where the souls of poor sinners go.  To save souls from Hell, God wishes to establish in the world, devotion to my IMMACULATE HEART.  My IMMACULATE HEART will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.  If what I say is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.  The war is going to end (World War I), BUT if people do not cease offending God, a  worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI (World War II ).  When you see a light, know that this is the great sign given you by God, that He is about to punish the world for its crimes by means of war, famine and persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father.  If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted and there will be peace.  If not, she will spread her errors throughout the world causing wars and persecutions of the Church.  The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated.  IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH!  The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted and some period of peace will be granted to the world."   This reflects the first "two parts" of the message of Fatima.
