Cardinal Burke Needs You Today
Volume XXVIII, Number 4
March 12, 2024
Dear Friends,
What follows might just blow your mind as much as it did mine, especially coming so quickly after I shared with you how I was seeing Our Lady of Guadalupe everywhere—just days after I practically begged you to receive her sublimely powerful image in my last message.
Our amazing Cardinal Burke is pleading for Catholics everywhere to join him in a nine-month novena for a divine intervention by offering one beautiful prayer every day.
(I'm doing mine at the end of the Daily Prayers to Save America.)
Cardinal Burke himself composed the prayer and—you guessed it—it is addressed to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
She is the Immaculate Conception for all of North America. She is Our Lady of Fatima. She is the Patroness of United States whose heel will crush the head of the serpent!
This is her history-changing response to all of us denying ourselves and carrying the True Cross under her mantle for all those endless months!
Tears well up in my eyes as I type!
The nine-month novena begins today, March 12th, and goes until the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th.
You don't need to sign up to participate, but if you do, you will receive regular messages from Cardinal Burke himself.
At the end of this message, we will offer his powerful prayer together, tens of thousands of us.
Sound Familiar?Cardinal Burke is explicitly asking for a divine intervention for the entire world, writing, "unless the hand of God intervenes directly, all will be lost."
Frankly, he sounds just like me over the past two years.
I had a chance to meet His Eminence a few years ago, and a close friend of mine has been his right hand man for decades. Often portrayed as a firebrand for his fearless yet diplomatic public statements, in person he is a humble, quiet, and kindly man.
I believe he is an American saint. Beloved readers, it is wise to trust saintly men and to humbly do as they ask.
This novena will change history. Our bishops' Eucharistic Pilgrimage—which literally follows in the footsteps of Operation True Cross—will begin soon in May.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Queen of Victory. God's divine intervention is coming.
Laying It on ThickSpiritual attacks just come with the territory here at the Mary Foundation because you and I influence so many souls in so many ways, but the evil one has been laying it on thick in my life and the lives of my coworkers. It's subtle and not so subtle.
This is a good sign, as I have learned over the decades of endless battle, because it means enormously good things are coming.
If you're getting hammered this Lent (or strangely influenced in peculiar ways), you should also take it as a good sign. Smile. Press forward. Stay faithful to Father Ripperger's Three Angelus Cure.
If you fall, get up, like Jesus on Calvary.
This is what Lent is all about. Just ask Jesus, as I did this very morning, to give you the supernatural miraculous gift to love His Sacred Heart as much as His Sacred Heart burns with fiery love for you.
Quotations
"Let nothing bother you. Let nothing disturb you. God alone suffices."
- Saint Teresa of Avila
"Listen, put it into your heart, my youngest and dearest son, that which disturbs you, that which afflicts you, is nothing. Do not let your demeanor or your heart be disturbed."
- Our Lady of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego
"Are you not in the folds of my mantle, and within the crossing of my arms?"
- Our Lady of Guadalupe
"In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and it shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."
- Our Lady of Fatima
It's the nature of email that many thousands of you missed my last message announcing our new hardwood-framed Guadalupe Print. (I also listed seven ways God is with us.)
It came from my heart. Our Lady of Guadalupe has been overwhelming me. Oh, how I long for you to have this particular version of her gazing upon you peacefully, as she does me every morning when I wake up.
Here is Cardinal Burke's prayer. Let us begin in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...
O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church.
Your son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So, too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to him who alone is our light and our salvation.
Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your divine son.
Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.
Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God's promise of salvation, in his never-failing mercy toward all who turn to him with a humble and contrite heart.
Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your divine son in whose name we pray. Amen.
You guys are the best. Don't forget to print out the Guadalupe prayer and place it somewhere where you'll see it every day. Sign up for Cardinal Burke's updates.
This is it, my fellow Cyrenes and Veronicas.
Stay frosty.
Onward to victory!
With Saint Joseph,
Terror of Demons,
