Soldiers of Christ,
in the service of our Lady!
Pray the Rosary!
We Do NOT Abandon
Our Mother Church
The Month of May is dedicated to the the Blessed Virgin Mary and it is classified as a Rosary month.
Annuntio Vobis Gaudium Magnum
HABEMUS PAPAM
LEONEM XIV
On Victory Day, the Cardinals decided to elect a new Pope:
His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV.
-----------------------
"... Today is the day of the Supplication to Our Lady of Pompeii. Our Mother Mary always wants to walk with us, to be close to us, to help us with her intercession and her love.
So I would like to pray together with you. Let us pray together for this new mission, for the whole Church, for peace in the world, and let us ask for this special grace from Mary, our Mother.
Hail Mary. . ."
the Supplica to Our Lady of Pompeii can be prayed twice a year (May 8, and the first Sunday in October), and it is often recited at noon - and on May 8, which was the second day of the Conclave, or the first full day. By noon, on May 8, it was black smoke.
Blessed Bartolo Longo (19th C.), who fostered this devotion, was dedicated also to St. Michael the Archangel. For this reason he wanted the Supplica to be said on the Feast of the Apparition of St. Michael which occurred in 490, on Mount Gargano.
The May 8, is the Feast of St. Michael on Mount Gargano.
Pope Leo XIII constructed the St. Michael prayer on September 25, 1888.
The month of May is dedicated to Our Lady.
May is a Rosary month.
Pope Francis requested on Sept 29, 2018, that the Rosary finishes with Sub tuum Praesidum and the St. Michael Archangel prayer.

'Step-by-Step Rosary soldiers of Christ in the service of our Lady'
You become a Soldier of Christ at your Confirmation, and we raised the question of how can we defend our Faith, if we are not informed of what it actually means to be a Soldier of Christ. Do we have the material to actually function as a solder of Christ?
The Rosary is our only spiritual weapon.
It is not only for defence, but also for attack - to send your prayers deep down into enemy end-zone.
To keep them busy on their side, instead of hanging around on our turf.
------------------
kneeling before God, with our Rosary in our hand, in the trenches and say:
So be it!
Let it be!
That is OUR own FIAT.
------------------
Keep on praying the Rosary!
“For never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil.
This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.”
Twenty-fifth Rose,St. Louis de Montfort
The family that prays together, stays together.
If a household do not have a "head of family", which is one man's obligation, who is actually the "head of family"?
Our signature "Step-by-Step Rosary" encompasses the traditional 15 mysteries, accompanied by historical Christian artworks depicting each scriptural scene. Religious art, language, and music are powerful tools in the battle against evil as they forge a connection between ourselves and God and serve as a constant reminder of the goodness in the world.
Our current Step-by-Step Rosary community offers the Rosary in eleven languages; English, Czech, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian.
Not all versions are online, as they may be under a final local touch to complete each Rosary.
Make sure you have proper blessed gear; such as:
- Medals of your choice (St. Benedict and Miraculous medal is a good start ...). It may be a neclace, attached to your Rosary.
- Rosaries,
- Holy salt (pref. vigil of Epiphany) but salt can be exorcised and blessed all through the year. It is apparently stronger if it exorcised and blessed on the vigil of Epiphany due to January 5 being linked to the Baptism of Jesus.
- Holy water (pref. vigil of Epiphany). - see above.
- Blessed incence (myrrh or francincense, pref. Epiphany). - just like above, it can be blessed all year around but the three Magis came with gold, myrrh, and frankincense.
- Blessed candles. The candles should be blessed on Candlemas but can be blessed all year around. It should be beeswax but any candle works, as long as it is not electric or paraffin.
Our aim is to do four fasts per year, which are the following:
- 40-days St. Martin Fast.
- 40-days Lent.
- 20-days St. John the Baptist Fast.
- 14-days Assumption Fast. or 40-days St. Michael the Archangel Fast.
PRAYER ACCORDING TO THE POPES INTENTION
The Raccolta, ed. 1910, #23.
There are people who, today, have difficulties of praying for the Popes intentions - but - few knows of what the intentions actually are:
"The Pope’s intention always includes the following objects:
i. The progress of the Faith and triumph of the Church.
ii. Peace and union among Christian Princes and Rulers.
iii. The conversion of sinners.
iv. The uprooting of heresy.
These intentions may be fittingly recalled and prayed for after Communion, or at the visit;
but a general intention of praying according to the mind of the Pope is sufficient ; and any prayers may be used which are not already of obligation, e.g., the Little Hours of a priests Office. (July 12, 1847; May 29, 1841.)"
English:
O MARY, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Latin:
O Maria, sine labe concépta,
ora pro nobis qui ad Te confúgimus.
or
O Maria sine labe concépta,
ora pro nobis, qui confúgimus ad Te.
