Third Part - Why It Is Important to Pray the Rosary in the Public Square
During the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima it was common for Our Lady to ask the children, "to pray the rosary every day". Our Lady during the July 13th apparition asked or rather commanded, "sacrifice yourselves for sinners".
So, two things we know for sure that Our Lady asked us to do at Fatima, besides amending our lives was to pray the rosary every day and to sacrifice for sinners.
Upon reflection it is easy to see how the public square rosary fulfills these requests for October 11th. The public praying of the rosary obviously fulfills the first aspect of Our Lady's request. But, what about sacrifice, where does that fit in? Praying the rosary out in public with a large banner in the midst of a neo-pagan society is a sacrifice. Men will face even death out of fear of what other men may think of them, so to courageously express our love for Our Lady in these days is indeed a sacrifice.
So, on this October 11th let us boldly proclaim our love for Our Lady with the public recitation of the Holy Rosary and the sacrifice of our willingness to proclaim our love and fidelity to Our Lady to the multitudes.
Today we have signed up 3,042 rally captains!
Perseverance Moves Souls
Today one of our volunteers tried for the third time to reach a potential rally captain. The volunteer said that she felt drawn to continue trying to reach this person. On the third attempt she reached the person who said that they had gotten the other two messages but had not called back because she was too afraid to become a rally captain. After receiving this third call, she believed Our Lady was being persistent, so she told the volunteer on the phone, that even though she was afraid to become a rally captain, she decided to become one in order to please Our Lady.
