Dear Friend,

On the Traditional Feast of St. Giles, our Shepherd, Cardinal Burke, offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for all the intentions of the Rosary Warriors of Operation Storm Heaven, as well as for those who submitted intentions, from his private chapel in Rome.

Cardinal Burke first spoke about St. Giles, who was known especially for the magnificence of his almsgiving and for many miracles, even from his youth. A saint who was completely in prayer and penance for the needs of the Church. His many miracles of grace and yes, even physical miracles. 

“St. Giles, who not only is an example of how we too should put all of our talents and goods at the service of Our Lord, but he also intercedes for us, that we will cooperate with God’s grace.”

His Eminence, who recently met privately with Pope Leo, stressed that we keep His Holiness in our daily prayers. 

“We know that, at this time in particular, he has many important decisions to make about those who will assist him. The work of the Holy Father would be impossible without the help of God’s grace and also without the help of the faithful.”

Cardinal Burke asked us to continue to pray fervently for the continued violence, destruction and war in the Holy Land, as well as the war between Russia and Ukraine and the loss of so many lives.  

As Rosary Warriors, His Eminence stressed the daily praying of the Holy Rosary. 

“Let us recommit ourselves to seek the ever-pure and selfless love of God and our neighbor, for ourselves and for all, especially those who are suffering in any way.”

Most importantly, Cardinal Burke touched on the December 10 centennial anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima to the Venerable Servant of God, Sister Lucia dos Santos at the Dorothean Convent in Pontevedra, Spain. Our Lady stressed the observance of First Saturdays. 

“In these three months now, we will be preparing for that centennial. Let us pray for the spread of the devotion of the First Saturdays, in reparation for the many offences, which are sins caused to Our Lord and His Blessed Mother. And for praying for those graces which are so much needed in our time, that the world might enjoy the peace which comes from the reign of Christ the King, in the hearts of all men.”

Here is the link to view the Holy Mass, followed by Cardinal Burke leading the Holy Rosary. The homily begins at 28:45. 

May Our Blessed Mother watch over you and your loved ones.

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
