Mother's Day - Holy Mother Please Pray For Catholic Families to Remain Catholic

Greetings in Jesus and Mary...

Blessed Mother's Day to all mothers. May we thank the Eternal Father for our own sweet Blessed Mother in heaven who watches over all of us day and night! 

As we all know, there is a crisis in the Catholic Church and in the world. We no longer know what a mother or a father is today....nor do we know their roles. There is so much confusion that we need to pick up our Rosaries as Our Blessed Mother has asked and DAILY pray the Family Rosary! If the entire family is not present...it should still be prayed for the sake of the graces needed today. Those that have adult children are experiencing the break from the Catholic Faith. The Rosary needs to be prayed by the parents of these adult children with confidence that the promises of the Rosary will bring them back....in God's time.

Here are some words from Bishop Sheen on the family in relation to the society. I feel this is pertinent today as we are at war now and it is highly probable to escalate. At the end of this year, December 2026, there will be an automatic draft for all males 18 to 25..are we ready for the sacrifice...are our young men ready for the sacrifice. In this world of "Me, Myself and I"; we will take a great loss in this nation and in the world from the lack of self-sacrifice. The young people today feel victimized by everything. They can no longer take ownership of their own faults and weaknesses. They can no longer seek their help in God because we now have sciences with great "experts". Is God preparing to give us a great reset with the hard times we have coming on the horizon? May our dear Blessed Mother guide us to Truth....to Her Son...through our praying of the Rosary....

Words of Bishop Sheen....
"Every child has a fundamental right to a real mother and father. The flesh and blood originators of life alone can put into play those spiritual forces which are essential for the development of the child. Social culture also demands a permanent bond between man and woman, for no civilization can endure without responsibility and loyalty to one’s trust. When 50 percent of married couples feel that they can throw overboard pledged loyalty in order to suit their own pleasure or convenience, then the hour has struck when citizens will no longer feel a need to keep their pledge to America as citizens. Once a citizenry does not feel bound to the most natural and democratic of all self-governing commonwealths, the home, it will not be long until it ceases to feel bound to a nation. When a Mrs. White is ready to call herself Mrs. Brown, then it will only be a short time before Americans will be calling themselves Soviets. The traitors to the home today are the traitors to the nation tomorrow. A people who are not loyal to a home will not be loyal to a flag.

The permanence of the bond is necessary also for sacrifice. So long as a nation of families learns to renounce the “mine” in the “ours” of their offspring, there is strength. The family then becomes a training school in self-discipline; it crushes egotism for the sake of the group, as all members learn the supreme lesson of living with others for the sake of others. But if there is the slightest disagreement resulting from the eating of crackers in bed, or if the other party fails to give pleasure, or if the desire of greener pastures makes the present grazing less appealing; if every emotion, whim, appetite, and fancy has a right to be satisfied even at the cost of another person; then what shall happen to the sacrifice so necessary for a nation in time of crisis and conflict? The fewer sacrifices a man is required to make, the more loath he will be to make those few. His luxuries soon become necessities, children a burden, and the ego a god.  Where will come our heroes in a crisis, if we no longer have heroes in the home? If a man will not put up with the trials of a household, will he put up with the trials of a national emergency? Once the need of sacrifice for maintenance of the home is uprooted, there is simultaneously uprooted the need of sacrifice for the maintenance of a nation. Only a nation that recognizes sweat, toil, hardship, and sacrifice as normal aspects of life can save itself, and these virtues are first learned in the home."

May we all pray the Family Rosary for the coming war, famine and pestilence about to engulf the earth for our crimes ! 

 Dear Mother Mary - pray for us!!
