Minor Rogation Days - May 11, 12, 13 - Famine is Coming - WE NEED THIS!

Greetings in Jesus and Mary....

FAMINE IS COMING! These Rogation Days of Prayers, Processions, Fasting and Masses are NECESSARY for the world. May we participate as much as we can.

​First, the Rogation Days remind us that God governs the natural world. Rain, drought, fertility of crops, and the stability of the seasons are ultimately subject to Divine Providence. The faithful therefore rightly ask God to bless the fruits of the earth. Note how this truth is also expressed in the Message of Fatima. The Miracle of the Sun is its most striking example.

Second, they express the reality that sin has social consequences. The Church historically recognized that widespread sin could draw down divine chastisement. Public penance and prayer were therefore offered not only for individual conversion but for the protection of entire communities. This truth is likewise affirmed by Our Lady’s Message at Fatima. Her Immaculate Heart is pierced by many thorns which are the sins of men who directly offend Her. Our Lord and Our Lady call on us to remove these thorns by our reparation, especially the First Saturday devotion.

Third, Rogation Days affirm the power of public prayer. When the Church gathers as a body to implore God’s mercy, the faithful exercise the communal dimension of the Mystical Body of Christ. As one would expect, this reality is also affirmed at Fatima. Our Lady tells us the prayer of the Rosary can solve any conflict. It is a necessary means for ending wars and having peace in our families. And the proper Consecration of Russia, a public prayer by the united Church hierarchy will be the pivotal event which dramatically brings a period of peace to our war-torn world.

God have mercy upon the farmers, please bless these drought stricken lands with rain.

Holy Mother Mary, please intercede for us!
