Miraculous Prayer to the Little Flower

O Little flower of , ever con- soling troubled souls with heavenly graces, in our unfailing interces- sions I place my confident trust.

Bishop Hying and Archbishop Listecki lead of 2,000 Catholics behind the to Wisconsin’s Capitol, where they prayed the Rosary, and then declared that Jesus Christ is the answer to society’s turmoil by Joseph Hanneman, CatholicWorldReoport.com (Aug. 15, 2020) MADISON, Wisconsin — On August 15, the Feast of Mary’s Assumption into Heaven, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity was given a police escort up riot-scarred State Street to the Wisconsin Capitol building on Saturday, followed in procession by 2,000 Catholics who proclaimed in word and deed that Jesus Christ is the answer and antidote to our troubled times.

Madison police blocked off streets in a big section of Downtown Madison and a single squad car with emergency lights blazing cleared the path for Bishop Donald J. Hying of Madison and Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki of Milwaukee to bring Jesus to one of the most troubled spots in America. The thousands who followed bore witness to the message that only Jesus can heal our wounds.

“What a to carry Jesus Christ in His Eucharistic glory through the streets of Downtown Madison,” Hying said on the steps of the Capitol, the very spot where rioters rampaged just two months ago. “Every time the world has faced suffering, vio- lence, every time the people are filled with fear, the Church has brought out the Eucharist and processed the Eucharist in the streets — in procession because we know it is the power of this Eucharistic Christ that can bring about the fullness of what each human heart seeks, and that is union with God.”

The Unite Wisconsin procession started at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church at the sound of the Angelus bells at noon Saturday. Following Bishop Hying with the monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament were Archbishop Listecki, numerous priests, seminarians, servers, and a group of laity that stretched for two city blocks. Despite the size of the event, no secular media appears to have covered the procession, which was organized by Men of Christ.

The procession reached the Capitol Square, the crowd began praying a patriotic Rosary, mentioning names of the states between the mysteries. The procession stopped on the southwest steps of the Capitol, the scene of riots on June 23 and 24. At 12:45 p.m. Archbishop Listecki took the monstrance and elevated it toward State Street, then to the south and north. The crowd then said the Divine Praises.

Catholics from around the state descended on downtown Madison for the procession. Bishop Hying said their presence sent an important message:

“Thank you for making the effort and the sacrifice to be a witness to life and love and ultimately, the primacy of God,” he said. “We come to this place, which is the symbol of government in our state, to say that God is the ultimate reality of life, and when a country is founded on the principles of truth, then human society flourishes.”

Catholics Declare ‘Million Rosary March’ to Cast Demonic Forces Out of United States Catholics across the United States are calling for one million Rosaries over a 100-day period of prayer and fast- ing to drive demonic forces out of the United States of America. The Rosaries and fasting will be offered in repa- ration and intercession for our nation because the U.S. “is engulfed in a battle of good versus evil like never be- fore.”

The initiative began on the Solemnity of the Assumption (Aug. 15) and ends on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8.) To pledge online: https://millionrosarymarch.com/ Here’s the campaign’s three primary commitments: 1) Daily Praying of 5 decades of the Most Holy Rosary with a special intention for a greater love for the Blessed Sacrament 2) Fasting every Friday in some form in reparation and atonement to the Eucharistic Lord; 3) Devoting 1 hour per month in for the souls of the departed of all Ameri- cans throughout history.
