Last Saturday, October 14, 2017 was the 10th Rosary Rally sponsored
by America Needs Fatima. There were 21,570 rallies that day throughout
America and I was blessed to be one of the rally captains of this
blessed event.
My rally was held in a park in Sterling Hts,
Michigan. The weather was gloomy and rainy but it did not prevent us
from holding our yearly rally. My husband and I decided to go early to
the park to see if the covered pavilion is available. Thank God and the
Bl
essed Mother...it was available,
although we have to share it with a group of people. We were so glad and
thankful that our dearest friend, Gus, helped us to set up.
At 12 noon, we started....we sang, recited the Rosary, intentions,
consecration and other prayers. There was a guy from the group that was
loud that listened and came to sit with us. He asked me if he could keep
the copy of the 10 reasons why we do a rosary rally in public and he
was quite impressed. I noticed that he took one of the rosaries on the
table and was trying to follow us. I gave him a brochure with the
illustrations of how to pray the rosary. I hope and pray that he got
something good out of this. Who knows? He might start to pray the
rosary!
Our challenges last Saturday? The devil was hard at work!
The group of men were playing in the back and they were sooooo loud! We
had to compete with them, when they became loud, our voices in unison
became louder also. It was a shouting match at times which we tried to
ignore and just kept on praying. God is good! We were able to finish our
prayers beautifully and the loud mouth men did not dampen our spirits.
After the prayers, we stayed to socialize. Can you believe that these men were not as loud when we were praying? Go figure!
We were all so happy to see and talk to each other again. I think it
was almost 2 pm when we finished and we all cannot wait for next year's
rally which will be on October 13, 2018. Mark your calendars!
I
want to thank each and everyone of the participants in my rally. I want
to especially thank Gus for all the help he did. Thank you Gus, Baby
& Ed for your help! Thank you all! You guys are the best! Thank you
God and the Blessed Mother for another successful rally!
OMG! On
the way back to our cars, the rain poured! God gave us a sprinkle of "
Holy Water" in the form of rain! We truly received our blessing that
day!
May God bless America and the whole world! May God bless all of us!
