The CatholiCity Message

Volume II, Number 38 – October 8, 1998

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

It's a slow week here at CatholiCity. This week's message just happens to mostly be about prayer...

1. THE BIGGEST NOVENA OF THE YEAR
Mark your calendars and join thousands across the world in the Mary Foundation's annual international 54 Day Rosary Novena beginning on October 16th and ending on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8th. There is nothing more satisfying than finishing that 54th Rosary on this high feast day. For more information on the 54 Day Novena, go to:

2. 10,000 GLORIES
Join 10,000 other citizens right now by praying a Glory Be for the following intentions: For the spiritual and temporal needs of Pope John Paul II. For the spiritual and temporal needs of all the souls who are new Citizens of CatholiCity. "Glory be to the Father..."

3. THIS IS NOT THE HAIL MARY
One CatholiCity Citizen emailed us last week and told us that when joining in the 10,000 Hail Marys, she was a bit groggy, and found herself praying these words, "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us Citizens, now and at..."

4. SPIRITUAL THRILL-SEEKING
We live in a culture where people are constantly seeking material thrills. Here's a daring suggestion: sometime today or tomorrow or the next day, go to a Catholic Church and spend some time before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Pour out your problems, your sins, your joys, your burdens. Jump out of the worldly plane and into the pure, exciting world where grace streams past you and through you like the wind. Pull the cord and let Our Lord be your parachute.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"To men prepared delay is injury and never a friend."
Dante

Until next week, we remain yours...

Yours in Christ,

Your Friends at CatholiCity
