One-time gifts and monthly donors are crucial to keeping this movement alive. The Lord sees the sacrifice, not the amount.

Why Join Our Prayer Movement?

Maximum Supernatural Impact

Each of the three daily prayers were chosen for maximum supernatural impact, even though they only take 12 minutes a day.

We begin with the Auxilium Christianorum prayers from the famous exorcist, Father Chad Ripperger, which are anchored by the Litany of the Precious Blood. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is next, followed by the all-new and exhilarating Mantle of Mary Prayer.

Why the Divine Mercy Chaplet? In 2015, the Guardian Angel of the United States visited the home of a man from California named Vincent Sigala. This enormous, mighty angel, bearing bloody wounds from his battles, implored everyone to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet to help him overcome the satanic forces wreaking havoc in America.

You can read Vince's moving account of this angelic visitation (which has received an Imprimatur from Archbishop Argüelles) in this brief excerpt from the Catholic bestseller, The Warning.

America's Very Existence is at Stake

Vince Sigala has emphasized that the very existence of the United States depends on Christians praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Behind the seemingly impenetrable fortress of lies, fraud, conflict, and plague playing out on the world stage is an enormous battle of powers and principalities. The outcome of this spiritual war will impact billions of souls worldwide for decades to come.

Why did America's guardian angel request the Divine Mercy Chaplet?

One Prayer Saved a Nation

Jesus gave the Divine Mercy Prayer to Saint Faustina in 1935 when she beheld a vision of a terrifying angel of wrath sent to destroy a country. She prayed desperately, yet none of her prayers could stop the pending attack!

Then she beheld the Holy Trinity and the very first Divine Mercy prayer was infused into her soul. As she began to pray it...

"Eternal Father, I offer you the body and blood, soul and divinity, of your dearly beloved son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world..."

...the angel of wrath stopped instantly, completely helpless and immobilized. The nation was spared!

The Terrifying Abortion Connection

Later Saint Faustina told her spiritual director that the city earmarked for divine punishment was Warsaw, the capital of Poland, which was a major center for abortion at that time at that time due to corrupt communist influence.

The battle over our nation's future could be lost because of the sin of abortion, and the only power that can prevent this is the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ through the Eternal Father Prayer that Faustina prayed.

Soil Soaked in Blood

Our soil is soaked in the blood of tens of millions of innocent unborn babies crying out to heaven for divine justice. Ending this holocaust is what this supernatural war of powers and principalities is about. Our calling is to join our own suffering to Christ Crucified to make atonement for this abomidable sin.

You Are Being Called Right Now

Jesus Christ himself surely brought you to Operation True Cross, at this precise moment, to urge you to bravely stand with him against these forces of evil by making Divine Mercy atonement. Before you were born, He foresaw your enlistment in our hidden prayer army.

Forming the Heel to Crush Satan

The Sacred Heart of Jesus (a traditional representation of his Divine Mercy) and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, are coming together to form the heel to crush the head of the serpent, as prophesied in the first book of the Bible (Genesis 3:15). It is no coincidence that our bishops solemnly consecrated the United States under the title of the Immaculate Virgin Mary in every century since our founding, making her the Heavenly Queen of every American citizen.

By praying with us, you are helping Jesus and Mary crush the forces of evil besieging us.

A Bright Shining Sword Unsheathed

By the merit of our participatory atonement, we chosen few (a politically powerless and penniless remnant by every worldly measure) shall witness a truly awesome, unprecedented Red Sea moment. The sword of the Guardian Angel of the United States of America, bright shining as the sun, is now being unsheathed!

The demons, bound and immobilized by Divine Mercy atonement and the angelic Auxilium Christianorum excorism prayers, will be vanquished and cast into the abyss. You shall witness a great victory, such as at Lepanto in the late 1500s, the precursor to the coming Triumph of the Immaculate Mary and the era of peace which Our Lady promised at Fatima.

The Source of the Power of Atonement

Now you understand that atonement can paralyze demonic forces. Atonement is also called penance, reparation, self-denial, or, offering life's inevitable physical or mental suffering in union with Christ Crucified.

Embedded within the Eternal Father prayer, God emphasized the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist using the precise formulation of the Council of Trent: "body and blood, soul and divinity." Thus the Holy Trinity gave us the Divine Mercy Prayer to allow us to enter into the Eucharistic Mystery of the Cross, by which Jesus atoned for all the past and future sins of mankind.

The Ladder to the Crucifixion

The Divine Mercy Prayer is therefore an absolutely staggering gift, designed to make Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection into rungs of a mystical ladder we can use to mystically climb up onto the Holy Cross and join ourselves to His body, blood, soul, and divinity as He offers himself to the Eternal Father.

The power that truly matters, the invincible divine power of merciful atonement that Saint Faustina beheld, is there on the Cross. Our acts of reparation and self-denial bring us there. When we are with Christ there, no created being, no demon, no corrupted human institution, and no power or principality can prevail against us.

For Love of Our Fellow Citizens

We are all sinners. Everyone has tolerated sin, especially abortion (even if not directly), to some degree, in addition to committing our own innumerable personal sins. You know this.

Our fellow citizens, spiritually blinded and subject to diabolical influence, are "in most need of mercy." America's Guardian Angel is asking for our sincere reparations because they will not and cannot make atonement for themselves. God loves every person in America, so you are being called to provide the most effective spiritual remedy for every soul in our nation.

Finally, let us quickly review the three traditional forms of atonement, reparation, and self-denial.

The Three Forms of Atonement

A. Prayer

Any prayer you offer with the intention of union with Christ Crucified is atonement for sin. During this crisis, the Guardian Angel of the United States has requested unceasing Divine Mercy prayers, so please continue your normal devotions: morning prayers, the Holy Rosary, prayerful Bible reading, daily Holy Communion (if possible), and Eucharistic adoration in addition to the devotions of this daily prayer movement.

B. Fasting and Self-Denial

Jesus taught, "Some demons can only be cast out through prayer and fasting," and "If anyone wants to become one of my followers, let them deny themselves and take up his cross and follow me." Gaze upon the Holy Cross: Jesus denied himself unto death.

Any form of self-denial you undertake in atonement for the sins of the United States will help secure victory during this supernatural conflict. We encourage you to fast on bread and water, abstain from meals or certain foods, coffee, television, social media, etc. To find what fits your personal circumstances, refer to this comprehensive listing of penances from our Atonement List.

C. Almsgiving (Financial Sacrifice)

Giving alms can be quite difficult for many of us, which is precisely why it is such an effective form of self-denial. And, as the Scriptures reassure us, "alms atone for sins." It can also bring great joy! We invite you to open your heart by inviting God into your decision to embrace true financial self-denial.

After giving alms, most people typically find themselves more deeply committed to the daily spiritual actions of this prayer movement. Your gift can go to any worthy Catholic organization, of course. It does not matter if you are wealthy, poor, or in-between, because Our Lord sees the sacrifice, not the amount.

Operation True Cross:
A Spiritual Warfare Campaign

Help God Save America

Millions of Catholics believe a supernatural battle is being waged over the fate of America. Now you can do something about it every day with the Mary Foundation's daring Operation True Cross prayer movement.

This spiritual warfare campaign began in 2020 when Father John Anthony Boughton CFR and Bud Macfarlane "pinned" the Mantle of Mary on the extreme four corners of the United States through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to implore God for a divine intervention to save our country. Our tens of thousands of supporters participated nationwide through prayer and fasting.

Since then, over one hundred thousand concerned Catholics join us every day by offering the 12-minute Daily Prayers to Save America.

To protect themselves spiritually, many are undertaking the extraordinary Three Angelus Cure from the world-renowned exorcist, Father Chad Ripperger, to receive personal deliverance from demonic influence and deeply-rooted sin.

Operation True Cross Pilgrimage

In 2022 and 2023, while fasting virtually every day, the Mary Foundation's founder, Bud Macfarlane, led a small team of brave men as they carried an authentic Relic of the True Cross 4,500 miles to complete an unprecedented, grueling walking pilgrimage from four National Marian Shrines to form a living "Crucifix of Reparation" over America.

We pray. God wins. No matter what your particular circumstances or where you live, you can join all of us spiritually while learning more here:
