We hadn’t spoke >in years and it was nice catching up. > >During our conversation we began discussing an >idea to help save this country. The only way to >do this is to pray for the conversion of >President-elect Obama. We leverage the power of >prayer. Our intent is to do the ‘dolce >violenza’ (sweet violence) to the Sacred Heart >of Jesus that Padre Pio spoke of often and often >exercised. Miracles have a price. Padre Pio >often said that most people AREN’T willing to >pay it. He was. He did not always get the >miracle people asked him to procure for him, but >we all know he often did and they weren’t >‘free’. We can pool our resources, however. There is power in numbers. > >We are proposing that people be willing to spend >one hour per week in Adoration for the >conversion of Barack Obama; specifically to >convert to Catholicism and embrace the fullness >of the One True Faith. I believe he needs to >have his ‘cage rattled’ (in a loving way). We >could specifically pray that aborted children >appear to him. I think if one million people or >more pray specifically for this intention there >is a good chance it will happen. I am not >certain if the prayer should be for his general >conversion, or for very specific occurrences; >though I have been told by a Catholic with a >very deep faith, that we should be specific and >clear with our requests. I think if we are united in intent it would be best. > >My guess is that we all know many other devout >Catholics that will spend one hour for this >intention each week. It’s a serious effort. I >know that everyone receiving this email (27 of >you) would probably carve out the time, >especially when knowing we are part of a massive >effort. We are asking that each of you ask as >many as you can to commit to doing this. I >would suggest you simply ask those you know >would want to. I know the vast majority of >those receiving this email know more people than >I do who would make this commitment. > >You know the drill … If I ask 27 of you and >there is a commitment of a minimum of ten; and >each of the ten get a commitment from an >additional ten people, then we can quickly go >from 10 to 100, to 1000 to 10,000, to 100,000 to >1,000,000, to 10,000,000. We are working with a >‘global market’. I am reaching across the ocean >with my requests. I think we could very quickly >have a minimum of 10,000,000 praying for this >very specific request with a concentrated >effort. Faith and Reason tells me if we get >tens of millions of people around the world >praying for this in a focused way that the >Sacred Heart will not be able to resist. “Ask >and you shall receive”. If 20 of you do this >(and given my selection of people I believe this >is highly possible), then 20 becomes 400, become >8000, become 160,000 becomes 3,200,000, becomes 64,000,000 > >There is probably someone out there (receiving >this email) that could tell me if there is more >power in asking simultaneously. Clearly its >makes a difference to say the Angelus at 6:00am, >noon and 6:00pm. It’s an ‘appointment’. There >is a particular significance of saying the >Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00pm., even though we >can clearly say it anytime of the day. > >If you know of a global prayer circle that >already networks millions of Catholics who are >involved in Adoration (I don’t know of any), >then perhaps we ask them if they would blast out our request. > >If you like the idea please let me know. > >In JMJ … Mark
