Sept. 7-15: Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows

From :America Needs Fatima

September 6, 2009
This novena to Our Lady of Sorrows is a beautiful devotion passed on to us by Saint Bridget.

It will help you prepare spiritually for the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, which is September 15. And to grow in holiness.

To do the novena, you say the novena prayers and read the meditations for nine consecutive days, from September 7 to September 15.

There are 7 magnificent graces the Blessed Virgin Mary grants to souls who say seven Hail Marys and meditate on Her tears and sorrows. One is:
"I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will defend them at every instant of their lives."

Go HERE for the novena, promises and meditations to Our Lady of Sorrows.

And boy do we need Her protection today!

On every side, sin is luring people into spiritual death and our children are bombarded with messages introducing Anti-Christian beliefs and even witchcraft.

For example, read the report of Mrs. Linda Harvey from Mission American about the demon's harrassment of our children.

Go here for Mrs. Linda Harvey's report about Paganism and Witchcraft in Youth Culture

All the more reason to stay close to the Blessed Mother and to live from Her intercession and protection.

Also, Our Lady promised:
"…those who propagate this devotion to my tears and sorrows will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son will be their eternal consolation and happiness."

I hope you can say this novena, benefit from its promises, and comfort the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary by meditating on Her tears and sorrows.

Sincerely,
Robert E. Ritchie,
Executive Director


PS - There's another way to comfort the bleeding and sorrowful Heart of Mary. And that is to promote devotion to the Holy Rosary. Never before has our nation needed prayer and repentance so desperately.

To help bring about this conversion, America Needs Fatima is working hard on the 2009 Public Square Rosary Crusade - rosary rallies in public places in thousands of cities at noon on Saturday, October 10.

God willing, we'll have 3,500 rosary rallies all at the same time, because human efforts failed to solve our growing troubles, and Our Lady said to pray the Rosary for peace in the world.

So, please consider being a rosary rally organizer by leading a small group of people in the public recitation of the rosary on October 10.

It's much easier than you think. All it takes is gathering a few people to pray the rosary in a public place. And the reward is huge!

Sign up to be a rosary rally organizer.
Or call 866-584-6012 for expert help on how to put on a public rosary.

I pray you accept and appreciate this invitation to be Our Lady's messenger.
In gratitude for you becoming a rosary rally organizer, I will put a beautiful red rose at the shrine of our Lady in Fatima, Portugal.
