Dear Parishioners of St. James:
Praised be Jesus Christ!
October is the month of the Most Holy Rosary. Our Blessed Mother has appeared in many approved apparitions in the past 150 years asking the faithful to pray for the conversion of sinners, especially through the prayer of the daily Rosary. She promises extraordinary spiritual protection for souls who pray the Rosary.
When Our Lady appeared in Fatima, she warned that many souls are going to hell because there is no one to pray and to sacrifice for them. The daily Rosary is a powerful weapon against the wiles of the devil and the lure of this passing world. As we meditate on the mysteries, the Rosary sets our sights on Jesus, Mary, and the glories of Heaven. We ask the Most Holy Trinity through Mary’s intercession for the salvation of our souls, the conversion of sinners, peace in our world, the release of souls in Purgatory, final perseverance, and any other personal intentions we bring.
Jesus cannot refuse the prayers of His Most Holy Mother. Are you praying the daily Rosary? If not, Our Lady is calling you to join the millions who do, so that the whole world and all of the departed may share in God’s gift of eternal life in heaven. Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us!
God bless you,
Fr. Geary
