Pray the Holy Rosary for World Peace
“Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practice black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and will save your soul, if—and mark well what I say—if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins.”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
Sister Lucia dos Santos, Fatima seer
“When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.”
Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche
“‘Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee!’ No creature has ever said anything that was more pleasing to me, nor will anyone ever be able to find or say to me anything that pleases me more.”
Our Lady to Saint Mechtilde
“Continue to pray the Rosary every day.”
Our Lady of Fatima to Sister Lucia
“Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day be led astray. This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.”
Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche
“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world.”
Pope Blessed Pius IX
“If you persevere in reciting the Rosary, this will be a most probable sign of your eternal salvation.”
Blessed Alan de la Roche
“The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.”
Saint Francis de Sales
“When the Holy Rosary is said well, it gives Jesus and Mary more glory and is more meritorious than any other prayer.”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“The Holy Rosary is the storehouse of countless blessing.”
Blessed Alan de la Roche
“One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.”
Saint Dominic
“If you say the Rosary faithfully unto death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins, ‘you will receive a never-fading crown of glory’ (1 St. Peter 5:4).”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“You must know that when you ‘hail’ Mary, she immediately greets you! Don’t think that she is one of those rude women of whom there are so many—on the contrary, she is utterly courteous and pleasant. If you greet her, she will answer you right away and converse with you!”
Saint Bernardine of Siena
“Recite your Rosary with faith, with humility, with confidence, and with perseverance.”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all prayers; it is the prayer that touches most the Heart of the Mother of God…and if you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary.”
Pope Saint Pius X
“Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil.”
Saint Louis de Montfort

'Jesus Before Columbus Time'
A Cherokee story by Edna Chekelelee!
A story from,
"Living Stories of the Cherokee"
By Barbara R. Duncan
"Before the Columbus time" we lived in log houses, we never did live in Tipis. And on each end of the Indian Village where we lived would be one of these crosses would sit on each corner of the village, and it's much bigger than this.
I carry this to show you what I'm talking about. This is a circle meaning four corners of the world. We live, we're sitting on four corners of the world. And right in the middle is the cross where Jesus died.
And Columbus came, he said, "What's that?"
We said, "Well, this is what represents what we believe in. What was our hearts. And this is where Jesus died on the cross."
And each color represents something. Red is purest blood, and that's East and means success. And White is peace. Jesus has made peace for us where it was rough before. And we got punished before. Nowadays it's so much easier, all we have to do is believe in him in our hearts as we walk "close to Thee."
Red-East, White-South and West is Black - and honor the dead. And the North is Blue. And Green, Green is our Mother Earth which we walk on.
When you're walking on the Mother Earth and see trash, pick it up, keep your Mother Earth Clean, by doing that you keep her clean.
All right, we go on down, and this Yellow, which is sunrise and someday we're going to see sunrise and God's son will be coming. So I thought we'd pass that on.
And Columbus say "How did you know that?"
"We always knew it; we knew that God was in our hearts, and He always told us what was right and wrong. When we go and do something wrong, we always knew it was going to be wrong. So we always have to keep our hearts clean by believing in Him and as He died for us, for our sins."

Good always wins against evil
The enemy can take away your life
but with God's grace nothing can overcome your spirit.
Love never faileth.
The world might be a dark and senseless place at times
Sometimes it does seem like the end of the world and hopeless
but in the end of everything as we know it
Love, mercy, and peace will triumph above all things
It's promised to happen
I choose to believe it.
No matter what happens
Love is the Answer.

The Way
John 15: 12-13 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Genesis 9:16
And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.

"To fall in love with God is the greatest of romances, to seek Him the greatest adventure, to find Him the greatest human achievement."
“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.”
"He that is kind is free, though he is a slave;
he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king. "
“Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.”
- Saint Augustine
"...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Eph 6:10-17 NIV)

Legénda (A Legend)
Peter Tchaikovsky
Translation:
When Christ was a child, He had a garden
and many roses He grew therein...
Three times a day He did water them,
for He planned to weave Himself a wreath someday.
When the roses came into full bloom,
He summoned the neighborhood Hebrew children,
they each plucked a flower, and the garden was bare.
"How will you weave yourself a wreath?" they asked.
"Your garden has no more roses in it."
"You have forgotten the thorns are left for me," Christ said.
And from the thorns they pleated Him a prickly wreath;
and drops of blood, instead of roses, adorned his brow.
- Poem by A Pleshcheyev
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
- Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
- Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
- Exultemus, et in ipso jucundemur.
- Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
- Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
- Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
- Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur:
- Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus.
- Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites.
- Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus.
- Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
- Simul quoque cum beatis videamus,
- Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus:
- Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum,
- Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.
