Rosary Novena for America.


A Call for a Rosary Novena
By Fr. John Corapi
www.fathercorapi.com

Among the most important titles we have in the Catholic Church for the Blessed Virgin Mary are Our Lady of Victory and Our Lady of the Rosary.
These titles can be traced back to one of the most decisive times in the history of the world and Christendom. The Battle of Lepanto took place
on October 7 (date of feast of Our Lady of Rosary), 1571. This proved to be the most crucial battle for the Christian forces against the radical
Muslim navy of Turkey. Pope Pius V led a procession around St. Peter's Square in Vatican City praying the Rosary. He showed true pastoral leadership
in recognizing the danger posed to Christendom by the radical Muslim forces, and in using the means necessary to defeat it. Spiritual battles require
spiritual weapons, and this more than anything was a battle that had its origins in the spiritual order. Today we have a similar spiritual battle in progress
between the forces of good and evil, light and darkness, truth and lies, life and death. If we do not soon stop the genocide of abortion in the United States,
we shall run the course of all those that prove by their actions that they are enemies of God. The moral demise of a nation results in the ultimate demise of a
nation. God is not a disinterested spectator to the affairs of man. Life begins at conception. This is an unalterable formal teaching of the Catholic Church. If
you do not accept this you are a heretic in plain English. A single abortion is homicide. The more than 48,000,000 abortions since Roe v. Wade in the United
States constitute genocide by definition. The group singled out for death is unborn children. No other issue, not all other issues taken together, can constitute
a proportionate reason for voting for candidates that intend to preserve and defend this holocaust of innocent human life that is abortion.

I strongly urge every one of you to make a Novena and pray the Rosary to Our Lady of Victory between October 27th and Election Day, November 4th. Pray that
God's will be done and the most innocent and utterly vulnerable of our brothers and sisters will be protected from this barbaric and grossly sinful blight on society
that is abortion. No woman, and no man, has the right to choose to murder an innocent human being.

May God grant us the wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and counsel to form our conscience in accordance with authentic Catholic teaching, and then vote
that well.

God Bless You

It is no secret that what happens in the USA effects the rest of the world. Therefore, I would ask non-Americans to also participate in this novena. And
especially add the prayer at the end which would seem to be aimed especially at defeating the globalists.

'That kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting' (Mark 9:29)

Catholic Family News urges you to join us in a Nine-Day Rosary Novena Prior to the US Election

From October 27 to November. 4.

Please forward this email to as many as possible...

Whether you plan to vote for John McCain, Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul or no one at all. Join us in the Rosary Novena and in the daily recitation of a special
approved prayer against 'revolutionary men'.

CONSIDER:

• Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate in history.



Catholic Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson , NJ , Obama, in a recent column on his diocesan website, effectively compared Obama to Herod. Obama has
promised to pass the Freedom of Choice Act. Should Obama keep this promise, said Bishop Serratelli, 'not only will many of our freedoms as Americans be
taken from us, but the innocent and vulnerable will spill their blood.' The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), introduced in the United States Congress in 2004,
would remove all restrictions on abortion in the United States , both on the state and federal level. 'FOCA goes far beyond guaranteeing the right to an
abortion throughout the nine months of pregnancy. It arrogantly prohibits any law or policy interfering with that right,' says Bishop Serratelli. This is the
'dark reality' kept secret by propagandists for 'choice'.'

• Obama vows to fight for the legalization of homosexual marriages and for hate crimes legislation.



In June, Obama sent a letter to the Alice B. Toklas Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Democratic Club saying he supports repealing the Defense
of Marriage Act and the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' US military policy. In 2004, Obama sent a letter to a 'gay' newspaper in Chicago in which he called the
Defense of Marriage Act 'abhorrent' and said, 'We must vigorously expand hate-crime legislation and be vigilant about how these laws are enacted.'
Such pro-homosexual hate crimes legislation is being used around the world to persecute Christians. Last year, a Columbia bishop was jailed for
refusing to allow a homosexual into his seminary. 'Hate crimes' could also be used
against churches that refuse to perform homosexual marriages; and used against schools that teach homosexuality is a sin.

• Even the Wall Street Journal is concerned about an Obama win.



An WSJ article entitled 'The Coming Liberal Supermajority' warns of 'one of the most profound political ideological shifts in US History. Liberals
would dominate the entire government in a way they havent's since 1965 or 1933' and warned that an Obama victory would unleash 'a period of uncheck
left-wing ascendency.' WSJ also noted that an Obama presidency would result in regulatory overkill in the business world; substantial tax hikes; a 'green'
tax to repel so-called 'climate change'; and the 'Fairness Doctrine' that would effectively silent conservative talk radio and political opposition.

Catholics throughout the nation, such as Father John Corapi, are organizing Rosary novenas on the nine-days prior to election day. Let us unite all of our
payers to the Immacualte Heart of Mary. The battle of Lepanto was won not so much by superior firepower, but by Catholics praying the rosary to defeat
the enemies of God.

PLEASE ALSO RECITE ON EACH DAY OF THE NOVENA THIS PRAYER APPROBED BY THE CHURCH
Prayer given by Our Lord to Sister Marie de Sainte Pierre (1816-1848 ? Apostle of the Holy Face of Jesus), to divide and conquer revolutionary men.

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and all the instruments of His Holy Passion that Thou mayest put division in the camp of
Thine enemies, for as Thy beloved Son hath said, 'a kingdom divided against itself shall fail'.



The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for - and in union with — all those who take part in the Novena on October 27 and November 4.

Please email to tell us you will take part in the Rosary Novena: cfnjv@localnet.com

Thank you.

In the Holy Family,

The story of a pigeon

On Sunday morning as we drove up the driveway, home from Mass, A pigeon was spotted in our chook/chicken cage. It was flying round crazily trying hard to find a way out. So after changing out of their good clothes, my little brothers went in and caught him. He had cut himself up a bit, from running into the wire, I would guess. When Luke carried him up to the house, I ran and grabbed my camera.



I had spent and half on hour the day before trying to get a photo of a bird in flight, with no photo to show form that effort I wasn't going to miss this! I shot a few of the bird before we let him go. Then I stepped back to get my "bird in flight" photo, I can see now I could of done much better if i had of stood somewhere else, Next time I'll know better. :)
When Luke first opened his hand, the pigeon wouldn't move, after a few moments he said in wonder "I think it likes me" Then it was gone.

A belated post.

With a lot of things being done this past month, I haven't done much posting, so here's a quick update.



At the beginning of September, we had our annul Catholic Homeschoolers camp. (See the post below)
A friend had a birthday party not long after.
Then I went down to Sydney to see my sister, Sonja, and go to another friends birthday dress up/bush dance party.



Me in my dress.


When I came home Sonja came back with me for a week long holiday, the kids were all very sad when she had to leave again, but cheered up a little when she told them she'd be back home for Christmas.

Before she left, she was tied up with some plastic stuff that was wrapped around our new guttering's. You can see the ladders in this photo with Dad and one of my brothers working at putting it up.



Last week, we went to the beach to catch up with some friends. While the younger children all stayed up at the park, most the teens went for a walk along the beach.






We walked along that stretch of sand to climb up this small hill. I just love the view!





Part of the slope we climbed, and the rocks down below.

Thankfully I don't have anything else at the moment happening. So I think I shall get to work on my mold making and other things I've dropped.
