A Good Idea!

(E.g. Your Holiness, today you received 189 letters saying that you are cute

It's good to know that the Vatican has been receiving my letters.

LOLOL! Miss W!

Yes. JW.

He doesn't actually see his mail. He has an office at the Vatican where the mail is sorted into categories, summarised (E.g. Your Holiness, today you received 189 letters saying that you are cute and 74 mentioning that you should drop a few pounds.). But when they receive a sizable number of letters saying the same thing, they report that. If the letters are about specific matters, they go to the appropriate dicasteries, who report anything significant to the Holy Father's secretary or to the Pope himself.

E-mail and snail mail are treated the same way. I'll do both. But I prefer snail mail for reasons of my own.

Ah my dear Michelina, you are a veritable compendium of obscure and valuable information!

So whats the adress and what should this letter say.

 

[lionroar0]

Isn't October dedicated to the Holy Angels? St. Michael the Archangel is celebrated during October.

I miss the prayers to St. Michael the Archangel ... defend us in the day of battle, be our safeguard ...

Yes it is. The feast day is Friday. Does the EOC have feast day for the Holy Angels?

Why do you miss it?

Peace

I'll get to this tomorrow, JW. Too late for me now.

I hope that we can coordinate this well enough for Mother Angelica to think it's a good idea. If she puts the idea on the network, Pope Benedict will eventually hear about it.

 

[MariaRegina]

sounds good

This world needs more prayer.

 

[Metanoia02]

I think I may write my Bishop as well.

 

[Epiphanygirl]

I love it!!!! Michelina..........Thank you!!!

 

[ProCommunioneFacior]

I will write the Vatican, Mother Angelica, and my Bishop.

Awesome idea Michelina.

And I really think a letter to EWTN is important too.

 

[WarriorAngel]

Gr8 idea. Should have the children at school make their letters too.

But, I doubt that idea will work ...getting the kids to make letters. But it would be a nice idea.

 

[GraceInHim]

I love it!!!! Michelina..........Thank you!!!

second this and will do my part also

We need Angels to bring this to Pope Benedict's ears. I was thinking of EWTN but letters from children could work too.

A priest told me that the reason this was changed was because we should not have the impression that the Mass is not enough. That the Mass is perfect and devotions don't need to be added to it. I think I will look into it and find out more. But there's nothing to stop us from praying these prayers after Mass. Private devotion is always good. And we will know that we are not alone in our prayer because we have the communion of Saints, and others from CF will be praying.

I have to admit that my sister and I always pray 'blessed Michael the Archangel...' after Mass. We pray it with the current culture of sexual immorality in mind.

This is indeed a good idea.

Michelina! What a great idea!

At the Latin Mass I attend we already do something similar, but I would LOVE to see this in normal parishes.
