” We come to a full sense of the dignity of the lay faithful if we consider the prime and fundamental vocation that the Father assigns to each of them in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit: the vocation to holiness, that is, the perfection of charity. Holiness is the greatest testimony of the dignity conferred on a disciple.”

In other words….What is God’s will for us…HOLINESS.

God does not ask us to do the impossible. He has given us the great gift of MARY our MOTHER. She has made holiness quick, easy and sure through the Consecration to Jesus through Mary. Find the next beginning date in the table below and DO it. You will be glad you did.

Mirjana Soldo grew up in Sarajevo under the rule of the communists. She would spend the summer holidays in Medjurgore with her cousins. On June 21, 1981 she and her friend Ivanka had a life changing experience…Our Lady appeared to them. This is the best book by far on the history of Our Lady at Medjurgorje. Highly readable.

This book is available on Amazon in hardcover and ebook versions.

Mirjana and myself at Medjurgorje Easter 2019.

I used to find the Rosary really boring, in fact I am ashamed to say that I regarded the Rosary as cruel and unusual punishment. Our Lady revealed the 15 promises to those who prayed the Rosary to St Dominic in the 12th Century. When I read them I couldn’t wait to pray the rosary.

In more recent times Sr Lucy, the Fatima visionary said…

“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.”

Here are the promises…..

  1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.
  2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
  3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
  4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the heart of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
  5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.
  6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered and never overwhelmed by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death (unprepared for heaven). The sinner shall convert. The just shall grow in grace and become worthy of eternal life.
  7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
  8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have, during their life and at their death, the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
  9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
  10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.
  11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
  12. All those who propagate the holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
  13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.
  14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only son Jesus Christ.
  15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

I don’t know about you but just one of those promises is sufficient to make me get off my butt and pray the rosary.

Pray the rosary daily…before you start ask Our Lady to send you her spouse, The Holy Spirit to help you and inspire you.

Don Calloway was a wild, wild boy. At age 16 he was deported from Japan back to the USA because he was a drug carrier for the Yakuza…the japanese mafia. His parents were in tears because of his actions and his contempt for them. Then…Our Lady stepped in and tamed this wild boy and made him one of the greatest evangelists in the Catholic Church. He was converted when he found a book on Medjurgorje in his parents bookcase.
