OUR LADY OF AMERICA
"Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
terrible as an army set in battle array?"
[Song of Solomon 6:10]
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
We are often asked about what an individual can do to bring Her request to fulfillment.
Many have suggested a petition drive to encourage our bishops to act. The Our Lady of America
Center encourages us to petition not the Bishops with our signatures, but rather petition Heaven
with our prayers. The bishops are generally not moved by "votes", but rather through the
promptings of the Holy Spirit. If you want Our Lady of America's request to be fulfilled then
offer prayers, Masses, fasting and acts of charity. Pray for the intentions of your bishop.
This petition drive will be most fruitful.
It is also important that this devotion be spread among the faithful. Substantial progress has been
made, but many still do not know of Our Lady's request and Her promises of grace and conversion.
Please spread the word and distribute prayer cards.
Spread the message!
Are you a member of a prayer group? Are you sponsoring or attending a conference?
Many bishops have asked us to do all we can to spread knowledge of this devotion among the faithful.
It is important that all be aware of this devotion, if and when the bishops enthrone
Her into the National Basilica.
Prayer cards are available in the literature rack in the narthex or
by contacting our parish's Legion of Mary.
