RESPECT LIFE ROSARY SATURDAY, JUNE 1ST

9:30AM

OUR LADY’S 15 PROMISES OF THE ROSARY

Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the rosary, shall receive signal graces.

I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those

who shall recite the rosary.

The rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the heart of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. “OH, THAT SOULS WOULD SANCTIFY THEMSELVES BY THIS MEANS”

The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the rosary

shall not perish.

Whoever shall recite the rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.

Whoever shall have a true devotion for the rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.

Those who are faithful to recite the rosary shall have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.

I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the rosary.

The faithful children of the rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.

You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the rosary.

All those who propagate the holy rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the rosary

shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.

All who recite the rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only son Jesus Christ.

Devotion to my rosary is a great sign of predestination.

MORNING ROSARY… You are warmly invited to join fellow parishioners in praying the Rosary after our 9:00am Mass each weekday.

THE SHEEPDOG’S PRAYER

The Knights of Olde were Men of Honor Who used their Might For Right Today they’re known as Sheepdogs, Those who carry on the fight. I am a tired old Sheepdog, The guardian of my flock. I keep the predators at bay And stand watch around the clock.

Please stop the Sheep from pulling my teeth, I’ll need them for the fight, When the hungry Wolves come calling Some dark and deadly night. I pray I never need my gun, But, someday if I do, May my cause be just, My draw be quick, And my aim be ever true.

Heaven holds a special place For those who do the deed, Defenders of the innocent In their hour of need. May the Sheep someday be grateful, There’s a debt they cannot pay, To the Sheepdogs who lay it on the line Each and every day.

I am proud to be a Sheepdog. I’ve done my very best. I’ll stand my watch until my Maker Calls me home to rest. But when I meet Saint Peter, There’s just one request I’ll make: “Please let me spend Eternity Standing guard at Heaven’s Gate.”
