Non-stop Rosary vigil to defeat ObamaCare

[giotto]

The 60 votes are there for ObamaCare to pass in the Senate. The only thing preventing a vote is a blizzard in Connecticut, where Joe Lieberman went home for Sabbath. So you might say that God is the reason, both for sending Joe home and for sending the snow storm.

I'm beginning to think that it will take a miracle to stop this massive take-over of the health care industry. So I propose an ongoing Rosary vigil. How it works is that I begin by saying a Rosary. When I finish, I reply to this thread. Hopefully, someone else will then take up the vigil and pray. If you decide to join us in prayer, please reply to this thread. It doesn't have to be a whole Rosary. It can be one decade, or even just a Hail Mary. Comments are welcome.

I got news for ya. It aint gonna work. Obama care is coming.

I will give it a try, then ping back when I finish. Then we’ll see. Too bad those proddies don’t believe in the rosary. A whole lot of rosaries mean a whole lot of help.

[chris_bdba]

I’m personally praying that an accident happens and a few of those votes dissappear in the storm!

George is dead. We got someone different in the white house now.

and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
and this is their vindication from me,”

It is an EXTRAORDINARY idea, and I have put together a Web site for that reason and others as well, of course ...

The Rosary Online (in English and Spanish)

Remember folks, if you do not believe the recitation of the Rosary has powers beyond belief, read Remembering Lepanto

If you don't pray to Our Lady, you can't say you've done absolutely everything in your power to stop this atrocious bill, and like the poster said, even one Hail Mary is beneficial.

[giotto]

Thank you, malkee.

In the name of...

St. Anselm - grade school...

St. Francis Prep... - high school...

St. Francis college!!

[QBFimi2]

Jews - prayer shawls up!
Bible Baptists - roll in the aisles!
LDS - get out the Mormon tea!
Episcopalians - salad forks at the ready!

Let’s try it all! ;o)

[Palladin]

I’m in on this Rosary deal!

It worked at Lepanto, when Islamism was stopped way short of its goals.

Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved country, pray for us. Pray that the antilife Healthcare bill will go down, just as the Muslims did at Lepanto!

[cowtowney]

God Bless you folks

Just finished one decade, reflecting on the third joyful mystery, The Nativity.

A baby born in a stable, without subsidized health care. Imagine that!

“So I propose an ongoing Rosary vigil. How it works is that I begin by saying a Rosary.”

Say a rosary that this S.O.B. in the Oval Office sees his majority in Congress evaporate after this bill is approved,
that he is impeached, that he is tried for treason, and that he is convicted and sent to a Federal Prison for the rest of his miserable, treacherous, mendacious, life.

Say a Rosary that Americans finally wake up - all of them - the fiend that is the Marxist Muslim President and the political party, media and infrastructure which supports him.

And FINALLY, pray a Rosary that either the GOP leadership in Congress locates its testicles, backbone and intestines, or they too are swept aside by the anger and rage of the public to make way for a third political party.

[Palladin]

Lutherans: don’t forget the green Jello! It will give us stamina!

[giotto]

Thank you for the link to your Rosary site, and to the story of Lepanto. In many ways our plight is similar to that small Christian fleet. We face adversaries who are ruthless and determined to enslave us. We have fought with all available legal resources, but our enemy is lawless. We have very little time before this bill could get passed and signed into law.

[Capt. Independence]

Done and done.

[malkee]

Okay, finished. Ping to narses to spread the word. Gotta get on those Catholic threads.

[mlizzy]

Remember Protestants (of which I was one for 33 years), the Rosary is not *just* for Catholics. Pope John Paul II gives a nice explanation of that on The Rosary Online.

[Capt. Independence]

It will work. Remember, it’s not enough for God to be on our side. WE must be on his side also.

[upchuck]

Our Heavenly Father, we pray tonight that you will guide our leaders in Washington and that, as always, thy will be done. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

[motherlydia]

Rosary said. Remember Lepanto!

[malkee]

Here's a more direct link if anyone wants to learn how to say a rosary for the first time.

[mlizzy]

You are welcome giotto. Your idea is so splendid! I have been praying for the intercession from Our Lady through the Rosary for a quarter of a century, and have never regretted the time spent on even one Hail Mary. Mary was the only person (that wasn't God!) to walk the face of this earth sinless. For that reason alone, she makes the very best of friends to talk to via her Most Holy Rosary. Pray once, pray a thousand times. And then come back and pray some more.:)

[mamelukesabre]

If by “we”, you mean america...then it’s a lost cause. Save your breath and your time. America is a lost cause. save yourself and let america be damned.

[mlizzy]

Yes, thank you ... I have that particular link on my site. I was looking for the easiest one to follow.

[giotto]

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate all of you who are taking the time for this, especially in this busy holiday season.

the Rosary is not *just* for Catholics....

Here is one non-Catholic who will pray the Rosary and ask the Lord to intervene for the defeat of this Health Care Bill.

[mlizzy]

Giotto, may I also add the Sacrament of Reconciliation for Catholics. I saw the most wondrous site today in Kenosha, Wisconsin at St. James Parish. My husband, my daughter and I stopped by in between her water polo games at a tournament at Carthage College, and there were at the very least 200 people going to confession. There were ten priests scattered throughout the church and none of them were in confessionals. They were all face-to-face and didn’t even have screens. There were young children there, young parents, middle aged folks and the elderly, all there to dump their sins and darkness. What an uplifting site!

[mlizzy]

Thank you Molly K!

[fatfertile]

thank you—
I am not a prayer warrior—but I try—and this has inspired me. If we don’t believe in the power of prayer against evil we might as well pack it in.

[MSSC6644]

I'm in. Starting now. Wish I had seen this earlier.

Mother Mary, pray for us.

[mlizzy]

I am not a prayer warrior—but I try—and this has inspired me. If we don’t believe in the power of prayer against evil we might as well pack it in.

It's really true. Our Father, Mary, the angels and saints, not to mention all the aborted children in heaven are waiting and are all ears listening to hear our prayers for help.

[mckenzie7]

My last resort should have been my first resort.

I will be hitting the deck and starting my Rosary.

Thanks for your inspiration!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Thank you. I was wondering about that. My ancestors were Protestants from France but I follow no particular religion. I just never got into going to church
because my parents didn’t go. I know I missed out on a lot.

I love that site. I will check it out every chance I get and will try to
do my part.

[Northern Yankee]

I’ve been saying Hail Marys all day long.

[pollywog]

Amen!

[GailA]

contact info is on this thread Includes local offices and faxes...Emails are a waste of time, they get to many of them, and they don't read them. Phone and fax messages are better.

Remind them that their vote effects ALL US Citizens, not just the ones in their state.

There are also cuts to the VA, Medicare, nursing homes, and Tri Care for Life (retired Military health insurance, plus taxes on special needs children.

[mlizzy]

Thank you Tribal Princess. My parents were not churchgoers as I got older, and I too fell from going to my Lutheran church as a result. As I got even older and met my then boyfriend - now husband (who was a daily mass Catholic), I joined him at his church for daily mass and was awestruck at how many people day in and day out attended. I figured these folks could be doing a thousand other things but they chose to join one another in the Breaking of the Bread (partaking of the True Body of Christ through the Eucharist) and I was eventually taken in by the same Jesus that brought them there day after day, and as a result have been going to daily mass together with my husband since the day we wed (that's when I became an "official" Catholic) 25 years ago.

[mckenzie7]

Rosary has been offered up.

Thank you again for suggesting it!

[mckenzie7]

Wow, what a beautiful story!

I can't help but believe that when marriages are Christ centered, they are stronger for it.

Thank you for sharing!

[HiTech RedNeck]

And for those who don’t use the rosary system or hail Mary, pray to Jesus.

[AKA Elena]

I have joined in this Rosary for our Freedom. I will also put Senator Nelson and all of the Catholic in name only, government officials on our Altar for prayer, during the Offertory in the AM, with the intention of Healthcare and reversal of those acts which so infringe upon our Free lives in this Country.

O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the Fire of His Love.

[TribalPrincess2U]

What an inspiring reply. There is something about that site that seems to call me.

I will continue to read the pdf I downloaded and ewtn.com I put in my bookmark bar. Thanks again.

[tophat9000]

Im not Catholic but count me in for prayers in agreement
