As we gather with our families to celebrate the joyous season of Christmas, a growing secular tide threatens to drown out the true meaning of this sacred occasion. To counter this assault on our Faith, America Needs Fatima mobilized 1,197 rosary rallies across the nation, a powerful movement to keep Christ in Christmas.
Voices from the Frontlines
Our dedicated rally captains, true warriors of Christ, fearlessly took to the public square. They reminded their communities of the true meaning of Christmas, a season that celebrates the birth of Our Lord and Savior. In the face of a culture that often seeks to diminish or dismiss God’s Law, these brave souls stood firm, their rosaries raised in prayer.
Why America Must Reject Isolationism and Its Dangers
Here are just a few testimonials from the hundreds of rallies that took place across the nation:
“The group you see in our photo is the usual group that shows up each month for our monthly rally. It takes place in the parking lot of the Ocala Police Department with a lot of car traffic. We use the third Saturday each month unless there is a request from America Needs Fatima or another reason for a different Saturday. We are dedicated warriors, and we appreciate all the support America Needs Fatima provides. Thank you for your support, and Merry Christmas.”—Denis in Ocala, Florida
“Hello from Our Lady Queen of the Americas Church in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania! It was a chilly one. We held our rosary rally on December 14th at noon. Cold hands but warm hearts!”—Mary in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania
“I am sending you the photo of one of our Christmas Rosaries that we had in front of the abortion center FPA in San Bernardino. The leader of this event was from Saint Mary’s Church in Fontana, California. A homeless man named Paul approached us, gave us a donation of $3.00 even though we told him it was not necessary, and stayed with us praying. It reminded me of the widow in the Bible who gave everything she had. Another man came to us and asked if we had a spare rosary because he wanted to pray. One of the assistants gave him one. It was a beautiful day! Next Saturday, we are going to do another one with the participation of Saint Mary’s of Guadalupe Church from Chino, California. God bless you!”—Iris in San Bernardino, California
Reclaiming the Sacred Season
The secular assault on Christmas is a multifaceted attack, ranging from the blasphemous to the banal. Yet our rally captains remain undeterred. Through their public acts of devotion, they reclaim this season for Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Eternal and Natural Law: The Foundation of Morals and Law
Christ, the eternal Word made flesh, came to dwell among us. His Birth, Life, Death, and Resurrection are the foundation of our Faith and the source of our hope. By participating in rosary rallies, we honor His sacrifice and invite His grace into our lives and communities.
The impact of these rallies may not always be immediately apparent, but we know that every prayer, every act of devotion, can and often does change hearts and minds. Rosary rally captains are and will always be instruments of God’s grace, spreading His message of truth and salvation.
You can join thousands of Catholics in this noble endeavor. Next month, we’re asking Catholics like you to rally in support of the Pro-Life cause. If you’re passionate about protecting the lives of the unborn, sign up today to lead a Pro-Life Rosary Rally in your community.
