Rosary Rallies Already Started

On July 14th, we had our third Public Square Rosary Rally in downtown Cleveland. About 70 people attended. A lady from Canton brought a Ugandan priest with her. She is encouraging him to have a rally in Uganda.

At the end of the rally, the priest told us to keep up the good work and gave us his blessing. Several people volunteered to lead public Rosaries in their own neighborhoods.

During the rally, a man was using a noisy electric hedge clipper where we were praying. It was a disturbance, but no one said anything to him. When the rally ended, to our surprise, he approached one of us and asked for a Rosary. Amazing!

One lady in a wheel chair, who endured much pain to come to our rally, insisted that the rallies continue every month even after October 13. God bless her sacrifice!

We also gave out Rosaries. A black woman asked for one and wanted to learn how to pray it. After she was given a flyer with instructions, she looked it over and said: “But I don't know how to make the Sign of the Cross.” She was then taught how to make the Sign of the Cross right in the middle of the city of Cleveland!

News from Fatima Custodian Mr. Joseph Ferrara

Today's second visit was blessed. The meeting was held at the home of three brothers. After placing Our Lady’s statue in the home and introducing the Fatima message, one of brothers asked me if I had seen any miracles in my travels.

I explained that the most important miracles are not necessarily physical cures, but spiritual cures. What Our Lady wants most is "conversion." So I gave examples of souls who were moved to amend their lives because of Our Lady’s visit to their homes. I mentioned the case of a man who returned to the faith after thirty years.

As Providence would have it, during refreshments one of the brothers came up to me and confided that the third brother had left his faith "thirty" years ago to marry a Jewish woman. And a few days prior to Our Lady’s visit, he announced that he wanted to return to the Catholic faith. He was also present at the visit.

Other Tidbits…

At our America Needs Fatima office in Kansas, dedicated volunteers are making and receiving loads of calls every day. Some volunteers are as young as 14 and there are as many as a dozen people helping to man all the phones.

From June 13^th to the present date, 50,000 automated voice messages have gone out to promote more Rosary rallies. For the next several weeks, 20,000 phone messages per week will be made.

The word is spreading fast: Some inquiries are from as far away as Canada, India, Africa, UK, Australia, the Philippines and Central America.

Here are some incredible examples of the dedication of some of our captains and participants:

-- One man who is wheel chair bound signed up to be a Rally Captain.

-- A blind person wants to know where the Rosary will be held so that he can participate.

-- There are several organizers who are organizing not one, but several public rosaries in their communities.

-- A school teacher ordered a 14-foot banner and fliers to spread in her classrooms so that her students will understand the importance of living their faith in public.

-- One Rosary Captain reports that she has reserved the use of the state capitol building for her rally in Indiana.
