NOW is the time;
later is too late - all might be lost by then!
Our country is on the verge of losing its freedom to
Socialism / Fascism.
Holy Mother Church is being ravaged by Modernism and
Ecumenism.
We and our families are
constantly oppressed and besieged by the errors and evils of Materialism,
Hedonism, and perversity of all kinds to the detriment of our spiritual
welfare and the salvation of our souls.
NOW is the time to storm Heaven:
for the welfare of our country,
for the return to the one true Catholic faith;
for the salvation of souls.
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our
sweetness, and our hope, to thee do we cry....
The Fifteen Saturdays of the Most Holy Rosary
(a most
efficacious devotion to obtain any special favor)
The information on this time-honored devotion has been
compiled from:
The Fifteen Saturdays of the Most Holy Rosary, by Bartolo Longo,
Eleventh Edition, 1926,
The Rosarians Handbook, edited by Dominic Dolan, copyright 1942,
The Fifteen Saturdays of the Rosary, by the Dominican Nuns, Rosary
Shrine, Summit N.J.,1925.
This devotion consists of:
receiving Holy Communion on
fifteen consecutive Saturdays or Sundays, if Saturday is
not possible (those who have no Mass to attend may make a Spiritual
Communion on each Saturday);
in memory of each of the
fifteen Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary;
with the intention of honoring
Jesus and Mary through careful and devout remembrance (meditation) of Their
most holy lives contained in these Mysteries;
and obtaining, through Our
Lady’s intercession, some particular grace or favor you may desire.
*Join with us in our petitions:
for the welfare of our country,
for the return to the one true Catholic faith,
for the salvation of souls.
This
devotion may be practiced any time of the year, and it would be well to
do so, but in our attempt "to storm
the gates of Heaven" we are asking you to join us in the fifteen
weeks preceding the great feast of Rosary Sunday, commemorating the great
Catholic victory won in the waters off Lepanto when the faithful, reciting
the Rosary, obtained from the Blessed Virgin the desired victory. This year
Rosary Sunday falls on October 4. We must start on Saturday, June 27
(Sunday, June 28).
If you are
prohibited from starting this devotion at this time, please practice it when
you are able. The worst thing is to do NOTHING!
Manner of Performing This Devotion
Before Communion:
To gain our
requests, we should be careful to perform all our actions well for the love of
Jesus and Mary. In
order that this devotion may be fruitful, all who practice it should try to
imitate the virtues of Jesus and Mary by constant and devout meditation on Their
most holy lives. Hence, on each Saturday/Sunday it will be necessary to
meditate on the appointed Mystery in order to draw from it fruit for our
spiritual advancement; it would be well also to sanctify the day by the recital
of the whole Rosary [or at the least, the five decades containing the appointed
Mystery]. The
Rosarians Handbook
At Communion:

Holy Communion Jesus unites Himself intimately to the soul, and it is the most

Explanation of This Devotion
“Everyone can well
value the excellence of this heavenly treasure [The Fifteen Saturdays] from the
preciousness of the whole Rosary, the prayer dearest to Mary, the most favored
by the Saints, the most decorated by kings, the most privileged by the Pontiffs,
the most frequented by people, illustrated by God with the most stupendous
miracles, and strengthened by the greatest promises the Blessed Virgin ever
made. Add to this the merits and immense graces the soul gains by considering
the Life and Passion of Jesus Christ.
“It is true that
such meditations themselves are very profitable to purge and enlighten the soul
and unite them to God; but who can deny that this consideration, joined to the
recitation of the Rosary, is a kind of prayer much more perfect and noble,
sweeter, easier, and more profitable to souls?
“But the excellent
practice of the Fifteen Saturdays does not only contain what is holiest and most
efficacious in the Rosary, viz. the remembrance of the actions and sorrows of
Jesus, but, which is more, the frequentation of the Sacraments, especially Holy
Communion received in memory of what our Savior did for us, the perseverance in
prayers and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. Moreover, it unites to all
these things a particular application, in order to please God in our works and
to sanctify ourselves during fifteen weeks. Behold the most powerful efficacy
of this devotion!
“Our Savior, seeing
Himself commemorated, pitied, thanked by us in the consideration of His
Mysteries, just as we unite ourselves to Him by Holy Communion… He sees Himself,
as it were, almost obliged to request His Eternal Father, and show Him His
wounds, His Blood, His merits, which all then become our own by means of Holy
Communion.” The Fifteen Saturdays of the Most Holy Rosary
I am the Way,
the Truth, and the Life;
these are the words of Jesus, the Eternal Wisdom. He who does not seek Jesus
can never know Him or walk in the straight path which leads to heaven, but will
certainly fall in to the darkness of error.
Let us seek Him
in the Rosary, keeping before our minds the Mysteries contained in it; let us
meditate upon them seriously. This study will enable us to discover therein
countless beauties which will incite us to love ever more and more the most
sweet Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We shall feel ourselves happily drawn to God,
the source of our eternal happiness, and we shall be content even under the
weight of the sorrows we meet with whilst here on earth.
If it should
happen that, not content with practicing this devotion on Saturdays, some were
led to repeat it often, nay, even every day of the week, who can tell the
immense advantages their souls would obtain when they had accomplished fifteen
entire weeks of pious meditation of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus?

devotion has obtained for the faithful innumerable blessings and signal favors;
