"Who is She who comes forth like the morning rising,
fair as the Moon, bright as the Sun,
terrible as an army set in battle array?"
[Song of Solomon 6:10]
VISITATION IN NEW ORLEANS
The pilgrim statue of Our Lady of America will be at St. Patrick’s Church this weekend. Everyone is invited to visit the statue which will remain in the church until the end of the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Sunday.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
We are often asked about what an individual can do to bring Her request to fulfillment. Many have suggested a petition drive to encourage our bishops to act. The Our Lady of America Center encourages us to petition not the Bishops with our signatures, but rather petition Heaven with our prayers. The bishops are generally not moved by "votes", but rather through the promptings of the Holy Spirit. If you want Our Lady of America's request to be fulfilled then offer prayers, Masses, fasting and acts of charity. Pray for the intentions of your bishop. This petition drive will be most fruitful.
It is also important that this devotion be spread among the faithful. Substantial progress has been made, but many still do not know of Our Lady's request and Her promises of grace and conversion. Please spread the word, pass on this email and distribute prayer cards.
Spread the message!
Are you a member of a prayer group? Are you sponsoring or attending a conference?
Many bishops have asked us to do all we can to spread knowledge of this devotion among the faithful. It is important that all be aware of this devotion, if and when the bishops enthrone Her into the National Basilica.
We make prayer cards available free of charge to anyone who has the ability to distribute them to groups. Please make your request via email to office@OurLadyofAmerica.com .
By the end of this year our goal is to distribute 1.5 million prayer cards. More that 1/2 million cards have already been sent out!
