| Let me take you back over 400 years
ago. The Ottoman Turks were off the coast of Greece. A powerful
Ottoman armada advanced on a badly out manned and out gunned Christian
navy. All that stood between the Ottomans and Western Civilization were
a relatively few ships, a small number of valiant men and one Rosary.
So the men knelt in prayer and invoked the intercession of their
Heavenly Mother. The miraculous Christian victory at Lepanto is now
widely regarded as a decisive moment in the history of Western
Civilization. Today we are in the grip of another decisive moment a life
or death struggle for control of the executive branch of the United
States Government. A war between two cultures…a culture of life and a
culture of death. Once again we Christian believers appear out manned,
out gunned and out lawyered. But we do have right. We do have each other
and we do have a Rosary. And through that Rosary, recourse to the
all-powerful intercession of our Heavenly Mother. Truly, never was it
known that anyone who fled to her protection, implored her assistance or
sought her intercession was left unaided. As a member of the Catholic
Leadership Conference of the United States, I invite you all, and your
friends, to join us ... in saying one Rosary for this Lepanto
Moment. A single Rosary said
either individually or collectively, either in front of the Blessed
Sacrament or at your desk or at home, specifically requesting the Light
of Christ to be renewed in our graced but troubled land. Please say this
Rosary and may God Bless America.
