2,364 Rallies, Story and Saint of the Day and more...

image

Thanks to Our Lady, we have 2,364 rally captains signed up to pray the Rosary in the Public Square on October 11. 

----------------------------------------------------------

Story of the day:

    Today we signed up another rally captain from Nevada.  This captain will be holding her October 11th rally in front of her state capitol building. 

    Also, an 88 year old rally captain teaches religion at a Catholic school, she is going to have her class participate in the rally as part of the Catholic education. One of our volunteers from Hawaii has a relative who is going to be taking his CCD class to their local rally.

    What better way to develop a strong love for our Lady and for our Catholic Religion than to publicly proclaim that faith during the Public Square Rosary.

Saint of the Day

Today we celebrate the feast day of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, who was a great and ardent devotee of the Blessed Mother.  Please read and share his quotes with your friends.

"What an immense work that is! But what happiness after death, after a life of so much toil and suffering and self-annihilation for Mary Immaculate! To bend the proud neck of the world beneath the feet of Mary Immaculate - this is the aim of the Crusade of Mary Immaculate. The whole world and each single soul must be conquered for her, as quickly as possible, and then the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, through her, throughout the whole world. It is necessary to win the whole world for her, that the reign of sin may cease."

"...The Crusader of Mary Immaculate is not indifferent to the spread of evil, but hates evil with his whole heart, and on every occasion, at all times, and in all places, he fights these evils which poison human souls. There is no heroism which a soul cannot attain with the help of Mary Immaculate. To suffer, to work, and to die for God alone, through Mary Immaculate, and as an instrument in her hands - this is an ideal worthy of the Crusader of Mary Immaculate."

"I asked the Mother of God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one white, the other red. She asked if I was willing to accept either of these crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity, and the red that I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both."
