Also Exit82 well written.
This article is right on for this moment of History. I just started a three day fast of prayers. We are definitely in strange times.
I remember reading prayers back in South America years ago that was for the communist not to over take certain countries. They called it I think the "prayer brigade". Well this was the 50's and 60s(?). It worked in certain countries. I will try to find it. I read about it online. I think it was posted on Freeper then redirected.
The past november 2010 elections where republicans threw out Nancy Pelosi was preceded by heavy prayers and rosary prayer rallies. Let's continue it.
I am so grateful for freepers!
Amen!
May God honor your fast—which is an excellent idea, BTW.
Thanks for your encouragement.
Thanks,teeman8r.
A humble and contrite heart he will not ignore! Amen!
Notice twice( two seperate stories) the explosions on the same day of prayers. Read to the end. Amazing!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
First, there was Austria. After WWII the communists of Russia took over Austria. To shake off this yoke, a Franciscan priest, Fr. Peter Pavlicek, organized a Rosary crusade in 1948. It began on September 12, the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary.
Fr. Peter asked for a tithe of Rosaries. He asked that ten percent of all the Austrians pledge to say the Rosary daily until the Soviets left the country. The people of Austria responded generously. They prayed for seven years, and then on May 13, 1955, the Soviets mysteriously just packed up and peacefully left.
The Soviets, however, did not give up on their plans to take over western countries. Five years later Nikita Krushev visited the United Nations Headquarters in New York City and boasted that he would bury the United States and the Western world. And to emphasize his point, he took off his shoe and pounded it on top of the table.
The West seemed in danger of a Soviet takeover. But Pope John XXIII had read the third secret of Fatima, and so he had authorized the Bishop of Leiria (Fatima) to write to all the bishops of the world, inviting them to join with pilgrims of Fatima on the night of October 12-13, 1960, to pray the Rosary for peace and for Russia’s conversion. About a million pilgrims responded to the request and spent the night outdoors in a bone-chilling rain before the Blessed Sacrament praying the Rosary. And in addition to this, over 300 dioceses throughout the world joined them.
The Rosaries and sacrifices of millions obtained another astonishing intervention. For that SAME NIGHT the Soviets’ new long-range A-bomb missile unexpectedly blew up during a test, killing three hundred top military leaders and scientists. This set back Russia’s nuclear program twenty years.
Shortly after this happened, Dona Amelia Basto organized a Rosary campaign in Brazil to save the country from a communist takeover. She managed to recruit 600,000 women in 1962 to say the Rosary in Sao Paulo for peace. And through this demonstration of faith and prayer, the country was spared a communist dictatorship.
Something similar happened in Portugal in 1975. The communist government in that country was peacefully overthrown after a national Rosary crusade for peace was launched.
All these wonders, however, were surpassed on March 25, 1984, when Pope John Paul II called for a Rosary crusade because of the grave danger to world peace at that time. In response to his request, a major "Rosaries for peace" crusade was launched by the Blue Army and other Marian organizations.
There was a magnificent response. And on May 13, 1984, one of the largest crowds in Fatima history gathered at the shrine to pray the Rosary for peace. And that VERY DAY an explosion at the Soviets’ Severomorsk Naval Base destroyed two-thirds of all the missiles stockpiled for the Soviets’ Northern Fleet. The blast also destroyed the workshops needed to maintain the missiles as well as hundreds of scientists and technicians. Western military experts called it the worst naval disaster the Soviet Navy had suffered since WWII.
Besides this, the Soviet Defense Minister, the mastermind behind the invasion plans, suddenly and mysteriously became seriously ill and then died in December of 1984. Four years later, during the night of May 12, 1988, as thousands prayed the Rosary at Fatima, another mysterious explosion wrecked the only factory that made the rocket motors for the Soviets’ deadly SS 24 long-range missiles, which carry ten nuclear bombs each.
Do Not Give Up Fellow Freepers! Let's Pray for The Nation and the World!

That is wrong. Not a very good fact to start. Austria was divided between Russia, USA, France and England. Russia was in the East. Four powers were in Vienna [like Berlin] , Americans were in Salzburg, French were in the West, I think Linz. I don't remember were England was. I spend a year there in occupation and the Russians did not take over.
INDEED wxgesr;
Well put, Don-O.
I can still pray for our beleagured land “easily enough” . . . particularly “in tongues.”
. . . Having the faith that anything will alter the slated judgment is a different issue.
Yes. I think a
“PERFECT STORM” of horrendous events is all set and cocked to be kicked off.
Prayer may be able to delay . . . won’t be able to stop such.
INDEED.
INDEED.
When we say the Russian communists left Berlin we know it was there sector given up.
When things are stated in an article sometimes the main idea is portrayed over the exact specifics. The facts are the Russian Communist were in Austria. It was the sector they had of Austria that was prayed about. Also remember they still left the area they had in Austria.
So in this regard the Article is generally right on the main subject of the power of prayer for believers.

Amen!!
nice post. I am not sure about all the Copyright stuff. I would like to take it one step further. I think with the jobs report, recall polls, Obamas polls, eligibility lawsuits, etc... June 1, 2012 is the beginning of the end for Obama and his Chicom crew. It seems like everything started to change today. In light of your three points, they are well on their way to becoming reality. Keep up the good work. Some of us are always here but not overly computer savy. Policitcal junkies, if you will indulge an old phrase.
Dr. Dude, thank you for an encouraging post.
Continue to pray that today and this month of June becomes the turning point that we will look back on when the power of Obama and the Chicago crew was broken.
God is not finished with us yet.
Thanks - I needed a laugh ....................................................... FRegards
I believe Obama already knows how SCOTUS ruled. I think he also knows how Wisconsin is going to go. Thus, he is a dangerous desperate man.
Good article..
Thanks,cardinal4.
I have always believed that Obama is a dangerous man.
And dangerous leaders put our whole nation in danger.
Shameless bump.
Two days down—28 more in June to go.
FRiends, this month will be historic.
Please join me in praying for America over the next four weeks.
BTW, I got a kick out of those who took snipes at you for "copywriting" your well-written post. Some people have a lot of time on their hands!
