Rosary Novena for America.

A Call for a Rosary Novena
By Fr. John Corapi

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.

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.

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,

World Youth Day, Sydney.

After seven days in Sydney, I back home, tired, but very happy!!!!!!!!

I don't know where to start! so much happened.

I guess I'll start on day one.

Monday,14th.

At 8:00 am, My sister, Sonja, and I left on a bus with the others from this area. All up it took about 8 hours. It was quite boring really. That night we arrived at the college we where staying at. The place was nice, and the chapel was lovely! I was almost locked in for the night while praying in there. Which was amusing really. I don't remember much from that day...

Tuesday,15th.
Sonja and I left early, for Darling Harbour via bus then train. We spent the day in the City. Sonja was handing out broaches for her collage, so i walked around and saw alot of the stalls. I even saw Mother Teressa's relics!!! that was amazing!I was also giving alot of this from all the stalls.
At 2:00 pm we left for the welcoming Mass at Barangaroo.
We walked there with a few people Sonja knew, when we arrived we went to our allotted places. Because I'm such a shorting i couldn't see a thing, so we went and stood on a platform the toilets where on.
After the Mass we caught a train out to a Friends place for the night. It was really great to catch up and see them again.

Wednesday,16th.
I can't remember what we did all day, but i remember we slept in, and it was wonderfully! lol We went into Macarther. But i don't remember why.... lol We didn't go to any WYD stuff that day though. We caught a train into the city that evening, rang our group leader so we could meet up with them, and found out that they were sick, and the group had been quarantined. So after a few phone calls we turned around and went back to our friends place.

Thursday,17th.
Went into the City for Pope Benedict's arrival. I realised as we made our way into the city that my Camera was missing. We still haven't found it. So i have no photos to share with you. :(
The arrival was great! I couldn't see much, so i stood on the back pack... ok, so the muesli bars were a little out of shape after that, but It was worth it to get a glimpse of our Pope. :) I also was able to get a better view from a friend shoulders briefly. lol.
It was truly amazing just being there and hearing Pope Benedict speak. I'm sure it something I'll not forget!

Friday,18th.
My birthday. So we woke up early and caught a train into the city. Then Walked to Mary Mckillops Place, I have always wanted to go there, and so that was really great, When we arrived we had to pay to get in, and have our hands stamped with the word "Exhibition" on the way to Mary Mckillop's Tomb we passed some tents set up selling things. So we went over and had a look. In the end we brought some things for the family, and I brought a pair of rosary beads. After that we went to the Chapel and saw the tomb, touched it and said a prayer.
Next we went down to the Exhibition were we saw Mary's relics, and some of her writings.
For the next few hours we walked around the city, looking at thing that were set up, then we were making our way to Barangaroo for the stations of the cross, we saw a screen set up at Central Quay, and decided to stay there and watch it as we would have a better view and our feet were killing by then. lol.
I loved the way the did the Stations! It was set up really well!!!
Afterwards we caught the train back to our friends house. Where I was given a cake and a present. I really did not expect it! (((Thank you again!)))
It would have to be the best Birthday ever!

Saturday,19th.
Sonja and I went into the city with three friends whom we were staying with. Gerard, and his sisters Elise and Bethany. Sonja and Gerard went to central to hand out more broaches, while The two girls and I went to walk over the Harbour Bridge, and then on to Randwick. We started from North Sydney station, and were among the last to be making to walk so it wasn't really very crowded. As we walked we carried a Australian Flag with us, we made it over the bridge and then we started to fall into a more crowded area. after a while we stopped for lunch at McDonald, and then we were off again. At one stage i had someone ask me for a cuddle, and so i gave him a hug. He was quite a bit bigger then me though.. In fact i didn't even come up to his shoulder. That was funny.
Then Bethany saw a Priest that both her and Elise knew so we went and talked to them while we walked for a bit. We got handed a lot of useless stuff as we walked along and someone threw a booklet over her shoulder and hit someone with it. Oops. Hahah was very funny though.
we were very thankful when we arrived and found our places! And so the night began! We saw the Pope again, and after he left they played music though the speakers till 11:00. Ironically we were sleeping right under them, and the lights. The lights stayed on all night so we didn't get much sleep. Most the people in our group tried to sleep, But Gemma and I stayed up to 2 in the morning talking. We hadn't seen each other for about 6 years, so our excuse was we had alot of catching up to do. I'm afraid we keep a few people awake though... lol It was so much fun though.
Around 11:00 we had three Germans come though saying "Good morning, would you like tea of coffee?" They came back, and I can't remember what they said, but I started talking to them, they offered to take me to get a hot chocolate, and I don't think I'll live it down... lol.
They happened to be sleeping just across from us as well.
Bethany and i also happened to go for a walk and have a look around. Not alot happened there though. We tried doing some dancing but it was rather confusing so we left.
I also met alot of people i had heard of before but never met. So that was really cool, but I met so many i don't remember them all.... lol
And anyway, we tried to sleep, and I did get a Little bit of sleep, so I was ok the next day.

Sunday, 20th.
Last day there, Gemma and i happened to be the first ones awake as well as the last to get to sleep. So we both got up and went to grab a hot chocolate to warm up. It was so cold!!! I must of thawed out by the time i finished my drink though as i felt a bit warmer. The others started waking up and some of the went to get there own Hot drinks.
Bethany left hers sitting on the ground, when the three Germans I was talking to that night, got up in there sleeping bags and where jumping around in them. One of them got knocked over and landed on the hot chocolate! Well... the Sleeping bag was a bit wet after that! lol Good thing the drink its self wasn't the nicest, and wasn't to missed.
We had the final Mass said, which was very good.
Everyone was getting people to sign bags, or clothes or flags, ect. I had people sign my backpack I even got the Germans to sign it. :)
Then we had to walk back to the train. That was awful! There were people everywhere! we went to the wrong places a few times, but in the end found our train.


Oh and i forgot about the food! It was awful. lol
On Saturday as we walked into randwick we were given a bag with Dinner/tea/supper (whatever you call it) and breakfast in it, just looking at most of it made me feel sick, so that night all i had to eat was a timtam and a slice of Sultana cake, the next morning just the other slice of the cake. Then we didn't get lunch until 5:00 pm. But that was really yummy as we had Chinese. Mmmm.
Well that's it for now.


A photo of just some of the thing I recived while at WYD
Oh and Its all laying on my sleeping bag that i took.



I bit of a close up, if you look closely you can see my Mary McKillop Rosary beads. :)

Prayer for a Child

About a year ago, I was sent a prayer by a friend. The purpose of the prayer was to save a unborn child from abortion. Each day for nine months this prayer is to be said. Each person that says the prayer is encouraged to name the child.

Oh my Jesus, through the intercession of Mary,
your mother, who bore you so loving, and
of St. Joseph, strong man of faith who protected
you both. I pray to you for the life of

_____________(Child's name)

The unborn child I have spiritually adopted who
is in danger of abortion.
Please give to the parents of this child the grace
and courage to bring him/her to birth
and to the life you have planned for

____________

Amen.

It was a few month ago now that I finished the prayer for the first time,
I now feel seeing as it was prayer that brought a child into this life, should it not be prayer that gets him though it?
Should I not keep praying for him and his parents as they try to live each and every day.
Not matter how good life is, there is always trials and hard times. I pray God blesses and protects him. For now he is still to young to know any of this, but one day he will. One day he will need those prayers, perhaps even now those prayers are helping him somehow.
