Join today to 'storm heaven with prayer'
on the first day of the month

Dec. 1, 2016
Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the four cardinals who submitted the DUBIA to Pope Francis, has issued an appeal to Catholics throughout the world to join him today in the 'Storm Heaven with Prayer' initiative launched last year by a US Catholic Action group at the start of the Year of Mercy.
Cardinal Burke offered Mass and led in praying the Rosary at a Rome church this morning.
One of the intentions of Cardinal Burke's Mass has particular significance following the release of the dubia submitted to Pope Francis:
That bishops and priests will have the courage to teach the Truth and defend the Faith against all her enemies both within the Church and outside the Church. And may all confusion be dispelled from the Church
67,061 registered Rosary Warriors will be reciting the Holy Rosary and storming Heaven with Prayer in union with the Holy Mass being celebrated by Cardinal Burke.
The 1st of December and the start of the month is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady and the Divine Infancy of Our Lord.
Operation Storm Heaven explains the purpose of Cardinal Burke's appeal:
When you pray your rosary on December 1st, please remember to pray for the intentions of all the Rosary Warriors, just as they are also praying for your intentions.
You do not need to pray at exactly the same time, but please pray your Rosary at some time on the 1st of December (your local time). We are providing the Mass time for those who wish to pray at exactly the same time as Cardinal Burke celebrates Mass and prays the Rosary.
“The greatest method of praying is to pray the Holy Rosary!” stated Saint Francis de Sales. It is through the Holy Rosary that we will obtain mercy, stop evil, convert nations and bring peace to souls and to the world!
Let us continue to touch the heart of Our Blessed Mother to obtain from Her Divine Son the merciful graces of conversion that our world so sorely needs. And let us also ask for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to come soon over the evil of this world, the flesh and the devil.
As we storm Heaven together, please remember especially the following intentions:
o In reparation for all the sins and offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary
o For our families and the salvation of our loved ones
o That bishops and priests will have the courage to teach the Truth and defend the Faith against all her enemies both within the Church and outside the Church.
May all confusion be dispelled from the Church!
May the Culture of Life defeat the culture of death!
o For all police officers that they may be guided and protected by St. Michael the Archangel in their daily duties
o That each of us grows in devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and comes closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
o For the continued global expansion of Operation Storm Heaven in 2017
Please share this email with your family and friends and anyone who you think would like to participate in this history-changing Rosary Crusade to storm Heaven with prayer to obtain a tidal wave of mercy from God for our families, our society, our country and the world…in short, for all souls!
Father Gabriel Amorth, the former chief exorcist of the Vatican who died recently, once explained that the Most Holy Rosary is the most powerful weapon against the devil and the powers of evil. St Padre Pio described the Most Rosary "a weapon of extraordinary power against Satan." During this grave crisis in the Church please join Cardinal Burke in storming heaven with prayer, particularly that bishops and priests will have the courage to teach the Truth and defend the Faith.
