The Triumph Over the Rosary

A retired Novus Ordo priest who I have immense respect told me that many of today's Catholics don't even know about the Rosary. Then recently there was a story on a 'Traditional' Catholic website that showed upwards to 500,000 people attending a Rosary rally at the Polo Field in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park in 1961. This story caught my eye because I remembered being at that rally with my parents thanks to the urging of my aunt a Dominican nun who had such true devotion to the Holy Rosary that she made thousands of them during her spare time. It was also reported in the same story that fifty years later they had difficulty drawing 1,000 people to a Rosary rally ignored by the Archbishop of San Francisco.

Sister Lucy told Fr Fuentes in 1956 that Our Lady said to my cousins as well as myself that God is giving two last remedies to the world. These are the Holy Rosary and Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These are the last two remedies which signify that there will be no others. She also said, "Father, the Most Holy Virgin is very sad because no one has paid any attention to Her message, neither the good nor the bad." Can we even imagine how she feels today over fifty years later?

Vatican II altered the Catholic Church's teaching on Our Lady, making not one reference at all to her Most Holy Rosary. Modernists and sadly many traditional Catholics believe that Fatima is only a 'private revelation' and therefore you are under no obligation to believe it. Don't worry about it, the Age of Revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle St John the Evangelist. God gave all of us a free will. Mary said yes to God at The Annunciation. Why do so many choose to ignore the Blessed Virgin when she offers us her help?
