The American TFP’s America Needs Fatima campaign (ANF) is offering a special privilege to all those planning to lead public square rosaries on October 13. It will send a rose to Our Lady’s Fatima shrine in the name of each one on October 13..
America Needs Fatima offers this as a token of gratitude for the work these “rosary captains” are doing. “Our rosary captains are struggling to publicly honor Our Lady on October 13,” said ANF director Robert Ritchie, “so, I wanted to give them a present that would glorify Our Lady and grant them graces.”
The roses will be taken to the site of the 1917 apparitions. “Being that Our Lady’s Fatima apparitions are the most spectacular intervention of Our Lady in modern times,” said Mr. Ritchie, “I could not think of a better place to bring these roses to offer them symbolically to the Mother of God.”
To date, there are over 1,200 rosary captains across the nation. You, too, can have a rose offered in your name by signing up to lead a public rosary in your area. Join now while there is still time by clicking here.
Secret RC codes revealed! For the first time!
Suntne vacci laeti
Tua toga suspina est
Sane ego te vocavi. forsitan capedictum tuum desit
Aut insanit homo, aut versus facit
Da mihi sis crustum Etruscum cum omnibus in eo
Sooooooooooooo, just who, precisely, did you wish to enlighten with such lines?
Or was enlightenment quite far from your intent?
It’s the OpusCode. If you look at my crayon drawings and view the left stick figure from the upside down position hanging from a gutter on the northwest face of the Chrysler building, you can see the truth!
I thought I saw Mary in a cloud formation the other day.
“Or was enlightenment quite far from your intent?”.
It’s a secret code after all! ~the Latin and such.
Da mihi sis crustum Etruscum cum omnibus in eo only has special meaning to Tom Monaghan who has sacrificed his entire working life for it.
I wouldn’t expect you to understand.
Welllll . . . some have contended that a particularly virulent form of elite snobbery has been a part of RC-ism for a long time. What do I know.
Interesting, however. Sociologically and psychodynamically interesting.
BTW, I don’t think you have much of a clue about what I know and don’t know.
“BTW, I don’t think you have much of a clue about what I know and don’t know.”
Nope. I don’t. I’m just an Opus.
A dead sinner won’t help anyone.
Only Christ can do this.
I don’t honor dead sinners in this way.
This dishonors Christ, God.
Amen! This really seems foolish.
:)
I really don’t know how many times this follishness must be posted.
It’s CHRIST who died on the cross!
It’s CHRIST who took away our sins!
NOT MARY!!!
She needed CHRIST too - to allow her to have eternal life.
John 3:16
. . . with fingers precariously in cheek . . .
--she's not dead . . . at least she was a Believer . . . and she's gotttttta be outta purgatory BY NOW! Oh, Wait . . .
--she was never sinful. That's right. Our Magicsterical declared in umpteeump that she was always sinless. So that Christ could be sinless. Clever that. God had to have our Magicsterical finish that plan out so it would really fly.
--besides . . . being human and all . . . she's so much more easy to identify with . . . and to feel that she identifies with our struggles . . . even though she was always sinless and all . . . lofty Queen of Heaven that she always was . . . at least . . . according to our Magicsterical . . .
. . . HE WAS TOUCHED WITH THE FEELINGS OF OUR INFIRMITIES . . .
Yeah . . . Father . . . but . . . but . . . uhhhhh . . . but . . .
being a mother figure and all . . . ample bossom for nestling in like wayward needy children and all . . . so cozy . . . so touching . . . so picturesque . . . so warm and fuzzy . . .
COME UNTO ME, ALL YOU WHO ARE BURDENED AND HEAVY LADEN . . .
Yeah, Father . . . but . . . but . . . but . . . but . . . we just kind of find . . . uhhhh . . . . these "little" detours by Mary's fantasized lap soooooo comforting . . . soooooo human . . . so . . . familiar . . . soooo dreamy . . .
NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME . . .
Wellll, yeah, Father. OK. But . . . we just kind of needed to insert this little uhhhhh side trip . . . this little . . . excursion . . . uhhh . . . this little RESPECT, THAT'S IT--this little bow of respect for Jesus' Mother . . . I mean, without her, where would Jesus have been? So, clearly, we gotta honor her. Can't do without this little uhhh . . . side trip--to honor, respect . . . really, God . . . honor and respect, only. no bowing and scraping . . . . wellllllll, no scraping anyway.
ABLE TO RAISE UP ROCKS AS CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM . . .
Yeah, I know. And, I realize that THEORETICALLY You could have done without Mary--especially if You'd adjusted the prophecies accordingly ahead of time . . . but You didn't and so . . . we just feel these little side trips to pay HOMAGE uhhh, honor, just honor and respect and a few bows and maybe one little scraping . . . are soooo comforting. You know, God how much we take comfort in ritual and earning our own Salvation and all.
I WILL SEND YOU THE COMFORTER WHO WILL LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH . . .
Yeah, well, that's all well and good Father . . . but you see, we have this here Magicsterical to lead us into all truth. And, besides, Holy Spirit doesn't have this big soft uhhhh chest . . . to nestle into . . . figuratively, of course . . . just imagine how much it means to us to imagine nestling into all that big soft warmth and understanding of Dear Mother Mary Queen of Heaven . . . Soooo familiar . . . or if not familiar, at least so lonnnnnnggged for.
SEEK HIM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . HE ALONE IS TRUTH . . . HE ALONE IS LIFE . . . HE ALONE DIED THAT YOU MIGHT LIVE ETERNALLY WITH ME . . .
Yeah, welll, Father, that's all well and good but we all kind of need all our little assists to faith . . . I mean, You don't mean us to take HIS WORD all raw and at face value without any gloves, robes, trappings, bells and whistles in between do you? Sounds kind of . . . welll . . . frightful . . . overly intense . . . I mean, THE LIVING GOD??? GOODNESS!
THAT YOU MIGHT CRY ABBA, FATHER, DADDY . . . the veil has been rent top to bottom . . . come directly into the HOLY OF HOLIES BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
There you go again, Father, all that blood stuff. Now our Magicsterical has a different slant on that . . . we do the blood thing crawling on our knees . . . some on broken glass . . . to show our contrition before Mary and to seek her support in our petitions . . .
THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER--ONE INTERCESSOR--THE LAMB SLAIN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. HIS BLOOD IS ALL SUFFICIENT.
Wellll, yes, Father. We understand . . . sort of . . . ALL SUFFICIENT SOUNDS kind of complete but . . . welllll, it's just a bit much for us to wrap our minds and carnal habits around so our Magicsterical has graciously encouraged us to kind of use some in-between steps to sort of reach TOWARD THAT . . . without having to focus on such an AWESOME INTENSE CONSTRUCT all of a piece . . . I mean . . . ALMIGHTY GOD DAILY??? OH, DEAR. I wouldn't get half my quivering over in time to say word one in prayer. Now, whereas, Mary, all soft and warm and squeezable . . . at least in my imagination . . . is SOOOOOO approachable and all.
ACCESS TO THE FATHER . . . TO CRY ABBA, DADDY, COME UNTO ME ALL YOU WHO ARE BURDENED AND HEAVY LADEN; EXCEPT YOU COME AS LITTLE CHILDREN . . .
Wellll, exactly, Father. Just on that point, the little children part. Our Magicsterical has pointed out how suited the Queen of Heaven is in the role of facilitating all us little children in our RELIGIOUS duties . . . in such a much more approachable, comfortable, manipulatable handleable bite-sized way. I mean, approaching DADDY THROUGH CHRIST AND HIS BLOOD BY HIS SPIRIT ALL THE TIME??? What an overwhelming prospect that would be. No thanks. Just Mary and Me sees me along quite fine. Well, yes, she petitions Jesus in my behalf. She's so much better at it, you see.
WHICH PART OF "COME UNTO ME" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
“Never apologize for the Blessed Virgin Mary!” ~~Mother Angelica
I don’t see any reason to apologize for Christ’s mother, or for his blood brothers.
For putting his mother in a place Christ didn’t give her and that she deplores herself, . . . would be a different issue.
Here’s an interesting added bit from:

Recap
Fallen Angels & Biblical Prophecy
UFO researcher and student of ancient manuscripts, L. A. Marzulli shared his views on the Nephilim (fallen angels), aliens, biblical prophecy and the Apocalypse. He described a “Luciferian end game” that would take place, possibly after a nuclear attack in the Middle East— UFOs would appear over cities, and there would be full alien disclosure, crediting the ETs with evolving the human species through genetics. Yet, this will be a demonic deception, he warned, setting people up for the Antichrist.
The murders committed by the Nazis during the Holocaust were a kind of “Luciferic sacrifice” that may have opened up portals for fallen angels to enter into our realm, said Marzulli, who noted the rise in UFO sightings directly after WWII. Anomalous creatures such as Mothman may also have arrived through a portal, he conjectured.
Marzulli offered analysis of the Fatima incident of 1917 in Portugal. The apparitions seen by some 70,000 people were not of Mary of the Bible, but rather a type of deception, he believes. A fourth witness was said to have seen an additional figure— a child with stringy hair, which he related to the genetic experiments/hybrids associated with alien lore.
** that she deplores herself, **
Your statements puzzle me.
You are welcome to consider it my idiosyncratic construction on reality.
However, my basis . . . IN ADDITION TO SCRIPTURAL LOGIC
is some Heavenly visits granted folks of our era who’ve reportedly seen Mary while there etc.
The reality is that you refuse to even consider the truth of the Catholic point of view, for which I am truly sorry. I will pray for you to have an open heart and mind.
PS, On the quote by Mother Angelica............it was not even addressed to you, but rather to the Catholics who have posted on this thread.
I don’t think you have any awareness, info or understanding at all . . . about the degree to which I’ve considered the RC position in my 60 years.
However, I appreciate caring prayers to The Lord Jesus in my behalf.
And I pray for y’all from time to time, as well.
