This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

I am proud of you, apostles of the Rosary.

We have gone over the 3,000 mark with more than 3,100 people praying the Rosary each day.

We are on our way to 10,000 by the Feast of the Queen ship of Mary, August 22, 2020. So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those who've promised to pray for.

Today I was struck once again by a line from the writings of Anne Catherine Emmerich,

a German mystic in the 19th century who was given detailed visions of the life of Jesus.

In this private revelation concerning what Jesus experienced on Holy Saturday, she relates that it was made known to her that the

world would open itself up by its own free choice to demonic forces toward the second half of the 20th century.

It seems to me that all hell literally broke loose around 1968 and we are now experiencing the full outpouring of these demonic

forces. But St Paul prepared us for this a long time ago when he wrote in Ephesians chapter six.

Grow strong in the Lord with the strength of his power.

Put God's armor on so as to be able to resist the Devil's tactics, for it is not against human

enemies that we have to struggle, but against the sovereignty and powers that originate the darkness in this world,

the spiritual army of evil in the heavens.

That is why you must rely on God's armor, or you will not be able to put up any resistance when the worst happens,

or have enough resources to hold your ground.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallow would be your name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
