Final Update: 5 Days to Victory!
Volume XXVII, Number 12
May 15th, 2023
My friends, it's been a long road—eight months of reparation—but I have great news:
Crucifix Beams Connect in Five Days!This Saturday, May 20th, we shall complete the history-changing 4500-mile Operation True Cross pilgrimage to the Grotto at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana (barring serious injury or major unforeseen delays).
Obviously, most of you can't be there in person. You can join us spiritually by walking part-way to a Catholic church (or shrine) near you while praying the Rosary, or, by remembering me and the Cyrenes in a special way in your prayers all this week.
How You Can Join Us at Notre DameIf you live in the South Bend area, it will be impossible until this Friday evening to know exactly what time we will arrive on Saturday, so my friend Sarah Parker has volunteered to coordinate with anyone who wants to join us for the final half-mile into campus.
(Event completed. Contact info deleted.)
She'll let you know by text or email (on Friday night) what time to expect us on Saturday—right now, that could be any time from late morning to early evening.
Every person who walks the final half-mile will have a chance to carry our Relic of the True Cross around your shoulders, even if only for a few yards.
We'll meet at the entrance to the campus on the intersection of Angela Boulevard and Notre Dame Avenue.
Pray with Me...Pardon me, but I've got to go out and walk another nine miles right now, so let's pray, tens of thousands of us together, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee, and for those who do not have recourse to thee, and especially for the enemies of the Church!
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, cover us with your Precious Blood and during these final triumphant days of Operation True Cross, keep the protective Mantle of Mary over our nation.
Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, Saint Michael the Archangel, and Guardian Angel of the United States, Protect us! Amen.
Thank you for hanging with me through all the ups and downs. I can't wait to get back to you next week with a "real" Message and lots of photographs.
My knee is holding up well—keep those prayers coming. I have only ten more 3-hour "walks" to go out of over 350 since last September!
Keep praying the Daily Prayers to Save America.
Remember, for Catholics, God is not a bureaucrat—late is always on time—so if you haven't offered the powerful Daily Prayers yet, I warmly invite you to begin on this very day.
Brothers and sisters—fellow Veronicas and Cyrenes—I carry you in my heart. I love you.
With Saint Anthony,
Bud Macfarlane Founder
