Reparation! Reparation! Reparation! echoed in DC to the sound of thunder…

These are pictures from yesterday, from TFP-America Needs Fatima's rally in front of the Studio Theatre in DC in reparation for the blasphemous Jerry Springer: The Opera show.

About 30 fervent Catholics came out to defend the honor of Our Lord and Our Lady yesterday in front of the Studio Theatre in DC.  We sang hymns, prayed the Rosary and shouted slogans, such as Reparation, Reparation, Reparation!

Half way through the rally it rained, and there was thunder and lightning too.  Actually, the weather was almost identical to the time we did the rally of reparation for the same show in Cincinnati a few weeks ago -- rain, thunder, lightning, as if the rain was symbolically cleaning the streets of the sins of blasphemy.

TFP president, Mr. Raymond Drake led the prayers and offered some meditations on Pontius Pilate and the gravity of the sin of apathy and indifference.  Passersby stood and silently listened as Mr. Drake spoke in a loud and calm voice.

When the rain started, we covered the Fatima statue with a glass case...everybody else got soaked -- but for a worthy cause!

Rally participants used megaphones and bullhorns to amplify the sound of the "Hail Marys" and "Our Fathers;" the sound of the prayers echoed off the surrounding buildings and could be heard for blocks.

We fervently pray more Catholics join our efforts and shake off apathy and actively offer reparation for the sins of blasphemy that are spreading across America.

May God have mercy on our beloved America!
