Well... do these verses mean anything to you?
Dim drums throbbing, in the hills half heard,Yes, that's GKC's "Lepanto".... and on Monday September 29 (which is the feast of St. Michael the Archangel!) we shall begin our annual "Lepanto Novena" to end on October 7 - which is the anniversary of Lepanto, and the feast of the Holy Rosary.
Where only on a nameless throne a crownless prince has stirred,
Where, risen from a doubtful seat and half-attainted stall,
The last knight of Europe takes weapons from the wall...
Please plan accordingly. We need everyone to work together!
It's very simple - here's all you have to do. Join in prayer with us - whether by daily Mass, daily Rosary, or your own choice of communications protocol. Our preferred selection is the five Luminous mysteries of the Rosary, wherein we consider the work of the public ministry of Jesus.
For what intentions? First and foremost, for the thwarting of the powers of darkness. Then for each other - for family, city, and country.
That's it. Simple. Also high tech. Join with St. Pius V and Don John of Austria in the on-going battle...
St. Michael protect us!

ReplyDeleteTo those praying for the conversion of Muslims, it is good to note that 1 October marks the end of Ramadan this year. It's a good day for all Christians, not just the Chestertonians joining this novena, to make that a special intention.
