Pope Francis will lead an Act of Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the Feast of the Assumption, March 25th and 12:30 p.m. Central time.
In response to the Pope’s invitation, this week we are changing our all-day Eucharistic adoration at Rockne from Thursday to Friday. On Friday, adoration will be from 7am to 6pm, with stations of the cross following at 6:30 and Mass at 7:00. We will have special prayers during the 11:00 adoration hour.
In July of 1917 Our Lady addressed the Children of Fatima. Part of Our Lady’s request is for the Pope and Bishops to make the Consecration of Russia, but the other part depends on you and me. She has given us a Peace Plan from heaven, which is to:
Pray the daily rosary
Make the Five First Saturdays of reparation;
Repent and reform our lives, which includes making a good confession, along with sacrifices in reparation for our sins and the sins of the whole world. The Gospel today tells us we MUST repent.
All sin offends God.
Please join us on Friday if you are able, or pray for the Consecration if not.
