The hope of this book is to draw ever greater

enfolded Christ and that reached down to us from the skies of Fatima in
1917, offering to save us from catastrophe, if we but clasp them with
filial love and trust and accept her message of prayer and penitence.

Fatima:
The Great Sign
Resource
#510-445,
$8.00
To cite another of the author's many examples:
while no nation on earth seems able to stem the global advance of
Communism (which our Lady had foretold with unerring accuracy in 1917,
together with the reason for it), nevertheless, in those countries where
sufficient people resolutely compiled with the Fatima message, the red
tide, even at the last moment, was mysteriously halted and routed. Such
was the case with Austria (1955), Brazil (1966), Chile and Portugal
(1975). And behind the Iron Curtain, the Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima was
the direct cause of the first churches to be built in Poland since the
end of the second World War. By: Francis Johnston |

Secret
of the Rosary
Resource

Canon
William says of De Montfort's book, The secret of the Rosary-"It
goes far beyond mere research. We might say that it contains everything
that can be said about the Rosary, its content and form, its real worth,
about the instruction necessary for its appreciation and use."
De Montfort calls the Rosary " The mystical rose tree of Jesus and
Mary in life, death, and eternity." He says that the roses of you
rosary will "never wilt or die, and they will be just as exquisite
thousands of years from now as they are today."

St.
Louis Marie de Montfort tells us that "those who desire to take up
this special devotion" (Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary),
"should spend at least twelve days emptying themselves of the
spirit of the world, which is opposed to the spirit of Jesus. They
should spend three weeks imbuing themselves with the Spirit of Jesus
through the most Blessed Virgin." by: St. Louis Marie de Montfort |

Devotion to Mary
Resource

Louis Marie considered the role of our Lady to be so important that he

providentially discovered in 1842. This book is divided into two main
parts: True devotion to our Lady in general and the perfect true
devotion, or holy slavery. by:
