Help God Save America
Volume XXVI, Number 3 – February 22, 2022
My Beloved Friends,
I have a wonderful Lenten gift for you today! But first, even more great news...
Demonic AttackOf course, spiritual warfare is inevitable when souls are at stake. This time a satanic entity hounded me during a long dream two nights ago. (I was in a state of grace, so no big deal. I called upon Saint Michael and went back to sleep.)
And so it goes. In our early days, after a particularly overt manifestation (the details of which I am not free to share publicly), I consulted with a holy priest who told me the harassment would cease if we closed down the Mary Foundation. I was like, "Not happening. What are the other options?" He replied, "That's it." He was quite serious.
It Was a Great Sign!God allows attacks; thus, a demon can only go so far, but no further. The priest also told me that the evil one, who is more effective when he remains hidden, resorts to frontal assaults in desperation or when he is about to be cast out. (I believe this is what's happening politically in America, Canada, and elsewhere.)
I took this instance as a great sign because I was mentally preparing to write today's message about our new Daily Prayers to Save America book (below). It confirmed that many souls will benefit from this book—including you.
As for the recent spiritual warfare, I have normal nightmares like everybody else, which are quite different. I typically dream all night long and don't pay much attention, as our old pal Sirach advises.
Demonic attacks during dreams are quite rare for me—this was the sixth or seventh time during the past 31 years—two of which also included physical assault (not fun). And they almost always precede something big (very fun).
Besides, It's Worth ItYou're a good Catholic, so you understand the unavoidable link between spiritual warfare and evangelization. It's always worth taking a pounding because our discomfort is rewarded with conversions, spiritual consolations, answered prayers, miracles, and hope.
I am a failure as a saint, but I never let that stop me—and neither should you. Now for your gift...
A Gift for Lent 2022You always shower me with priceless gifts. Encouragement. Support. Sacrifice. Prayer. Now it's my turn. Here is a truly unique tool for evangelization, just in time for Ash Wednesday next week:
The three prayers inside take just 12 minutes. The title explains everything you need to know.
If you order online today, your Daily Prayers will arrive via first-class mail before Lent begins. It's only $1. Free shipping. No catch. No kidding.
I'm Doing a Bad JobSo please, forgive the bad job I'm going to do today. Look beyond my words, or, into them through what Saint Paul calls "the eyes of your heart."
What does Jesus Christ want you to do? What does your best and most noble Catholic self desire?
My Solemn AssuranceI assure you this powerful little prayer book will change your life and bring you closer to Jesus while altering the trajectory of history.
These prayers have already changed my life and the lives of your fellow citizens who have been praying the online version since Father Boughton and I introduced the Mantle of Mary project in 2020.
Now you can take this gift and bring it to others. Invite God into your decision. Order one. Order dozens. Order hundreds.
Hold it in Your HandsEveryone should order at least one. Hold it in your hands. Feel the premium paper, designed to last for years of daily use. You'll appreciate the easy-to-read larger print. (It even has italic responses if you use it in a group.)
I invite you to pray the prayers at least once. Then place it somewhere you will see it every day. Follow me and your fellow CatholiCity Citizens into the harvest field of souls this Lent.
From the Heart of a PriestDaily Prayers to Save America comes straight from the lionhearted Father John Anthony Boughton, Vicar General of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and the leader of our Mantle of Mary project. (In March, when he returns from mission work in Ethiopia, I'll share a special message with you from him.)
This Books Exists Because of YouThis prayer book is a fruit of your faith, too. It sprung from our past three years together of non-stop prayer, reparation, and sure guidance from Immaculate Mary and the Guardian Angel of the United States.
You'll recall that Father and I offered these same Daily Prayers after each Mass at the four corners of the United States when we pinned Mary's mantle:
1. Fr. Ripperger's Lay Exorcism Prayers
2. The Divine Mercy Chaplet
3. The Mantle of Mary Prayer
Why pray these prayers at all? Love. Yes, love. Love for your country and your fellow citizens, especially those in most need of mercy. We are the ones who pray for those who will not or cannot pray.
If you want to learn more about the profound theological foundations of this movement, which is designed to bring forth the utter end of the evil one's reign over America and the greatest of Great Awakenings, you can preview my final chapter online here:
Amidst all the political discord, the escalating economic problems, the drumbeat of war, and the decades-long frustrations with Church leadership, who will pray and offer reparation for the release of those entrapped in the bondage of diabolical oppression all around us?
We will.
This is our commission. This is why Our Lady sent you to be a part of this poor, powerless, and hidden army. This is why God called Father John Anthony to become the first Catholic in his family line in over five hundred years. This is why God is compelling me to fast every day this year despite myself.
Those given over to sin will not or cannot pray or do reparations for themselves, even as they knowingly or unknowingly serve evil, as our children and grandchildren are relentlessly lured away from us into the diabolical vortex of sin and lies.
You've known it in your bones, for a long time, that something has gone terribly wrong. Now you can do something about it every day (while encouraging others to join us).
I also give you my solemn word: if you join me and Father John Anthony by praying the Daily Prayers, by Easter, you will be closer to Jesus and our country will remain on course for a divine intervention in the same scope and scale as the parting of the Red Sea.
Tens of thousands receive this email. Every one of you should order at least one of these prayer books.
As I mentioned in my January message, I'm fasting virtually every day this year to do my small part in the supernatural battle for America, and to merit grace for the conversion of your fallen-away loved ones. If you join me in any kind of reparation, on any day this Lent or this year, you will not be alone.
I am also offering today and tomorrow's fast for you to receive "a holy shove" like I did, if that's what it'll take.
On to the next thing.
Expand Your "Us" to EveryoneThis came to me a couple of weeks ago while offering the Daily Prayers, actually. I started noticing every "us" and "our" in every prayer. My "us" begins with my loved ones, my friends, every CatholICity Citizen, and now, every soul in the United States and Canada.
Try it. Consider the second part of the Hail Mary, using the "expanded us":
Holy Mary, Mother of God, prayer for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death, amen.
This works for the Our Father, too. You are in all my Hail Marys, Our Fathers, morning offerings, and Saint Michael prayers. So is everyone else in America, especially the sinners (some of whom, I admit, are completely given over to unspeakable evil).
I want to be in your Hail Mary! Please, include me, your fellow CatholiCity Citizens, and your countrymen in your every us and our.
Pray with MeYou know what, I was planning to lead us in the Mantle of Mary prayer, but Father Ripperger's exorcism prayers include a special one for each day of the week. I really loved the short, simple prayer for Monday, which I prayed while waiting in line for Confession yesterday. So let us begin in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...
In thy name, Lord Jesus Christ,
we pray that thou cover us,
our families, and all of our possessions
with thy love and thy Most Precious Blood,
and surround us with
thy heavenly angels, saints,
and the Mantle of Our Blessed Mother.
Amen.
My son Xavier was touched by your gracious replies to his "pinch-hitting" for me last week. Thank you for your kindness and for ordering our amazing new Prayer Stickers. (I've already put over one hundred into the world in less than a week. My specialty is parking lots, on the poles and the backs of signs).
A shout out to our readers who became monthly donors over the past few months. It makes a huge difference! Thanks!
Can you believe how quickly Ash Wednesday snuck up on us? Next week, I'll send out my famous Your Best Lent Ever message, but if you need suggestions for what to do, here's our classic Ultimate Lent List.
Now, please stop wasting your time by letting me waste your time and get yourself at least one copy of Daily Prayers to Save America. You guys are the best.
