"There is no problem . . . no matter how difficult it may be, that we cannot resolve through the prayer of the Holy Rosary." -- Sister L?cia of F?tima
Champion of the Faith Bishop Athanasius Schneider sounds a rallying cry to all Catholics to take up the mightiest spiritual weapon in our arsenal: Our Lady wants you to embark on a Rosary Crusade, under her mantle, to repel the forces of evil and disentangle the vexing problems we face in these troubled times.
Unite your prayers with those of the universal Church with this profound guide into the spiritual depths of the Holy Rosary. Enter into heartfelt prayers and penetrating meditations on the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries, enriched by Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the wisdom of the saints. Inspired by the victories wrought through fervent faith and the recitation of the Rosary, such as during the legendary Battle of Lepanto, these reflections illustrate how Marian devotion has the power to restore the Body of Christ -- the Holy Catholic Church -- and foster holiness in her members.
Bishop Schneider relates that faith, moral life, pastoral and clerical life, and the sacred liturgy are all under withering attack, including from within the Church. But don't lose heart! In these stirring and thought-provoking pages, rooted in our rich traditions, His Excellency urges believers to unite in imploring Our Lady to intercede for a new era of saintly popes and holy leadership to safeguard, renew, and uplift the Faith.
Offering an inspiring vision of hope and restoration, Salve Regina is a spiritual treasure for those seeking deeper devotion, fresh insights into the lives of Jesus and Mary, and a pathway to grace in these times of upheaval. This potent book also includes a Prayer to Plead for Holy Popes and a Litany to the Child Jesus.
Author Biography
Bishop Schneider and coauthor Aurelio Porfiri encourage the revival of public prayers, such as the Liturgy of the Hours and Eucharistic adoration. He explains how genuflecting, kneeling, and prostrating oneself are all outward signs of reverence that demonstrate this inward action. Our duty, he declares, is to render "perpetual thanksgiving" to God at Mass. Indeed, as he solemnly asserts, "The Mass is the greatest and most important work of the Church."
