you are doing better with your rosary mysteries than I.....I pray one mystery before work....I get up an hour earlier to do this (5am). Then I care for 1500 high school teens and their teachers and staff (300) as the nurse. Next is off to my AA meetings at night to help the next sick and suffering and be the face of Christ there....driving girls to halfway houses, jobs, etc...offering some sign of comfort. My primary vocation is wife and mom but I have adult sons.... I close my day with spiritual readings and try to read MOG and Charlie and Mark Mallett and Pelianito in between....catch some international news and read a spiritual book on my kindle before I fall asleep at night.... I fall short daily.....but I get up and try try again. I think we are all trying to read the signs of the times....feeling helpless and looking desperately for spiritual support in a spiritually dry world.
Regarding the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart: From, "To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons" May 13, 1987 #351 “My request that Russia be consecrated to me, by the Pope together with all the bishops, has not been accepted, and thus she has spread her errors in every part of the world.” June 10, 1987 #356 “It will moreover be particularly important for the development of the great events which have been foretold to you by me if, during this year, there be at last carried out my request, made to my daughter, Sister Lucia of Fatima, that Russia be consecrated to me by the Pope together with all the bishops of the world.” May 13, 1990 #425 “Russia has not been consecrated to me by the Pope together with all the bishops and thus she has not received the grace of conversion and has spread her errors throughout all parts of the world, provoking wars, violence, bloody revolutions and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.” In message #287, however, Our Lady clearly states: "particular circumstances have not yet permitted the explicit consecration of Russia which I have requested many times." (287d) She has, nevertheless, accepted this particular consecration with love and has promised to intervene to shorten greatly the time of purification. "I receive it with love and gratitude, and because of it I promise to intervene to shorten greatly the hours of purification, and to lessen the gravity of the trial." (#287e) "But I ask this consecration also from all the bishops, from all the priests, from all religious, and from all the faithful. This is the hour in which the Church must assemble in the secure refuge of my Immaculate Heart!" (287f) “In my estimation, only then will this consecration be completely fulfilled.” Rev. Albert G. Roux, National Director, Marian Movement of Priests Make your First Saturdays and let us do our part in Heavens plan! Lynnfiat
