| Why We Need the Rosary ... NOW! (Special Supplement) |
|
|
As the news stories printed here indicate, the world stands on the brink of a terrifying war, the Catholic Church suffers continual harassment in Russia, and the Church Herself is in alarming decline due to the modernistic trends that have swept through the Church over the last 40 years. There is no greater and more immediately available remedy for all the evils that afflict mankind and the Church than the daily recitation of the Rosary, which Our Lady requested again and again at Fatima. Now, more than ever, we need the Rosary! |
