Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs.

Our good friend, Fr. Rick Heilman, has started a league of men call the Holy League. Today, the Holy League launched its first prayer campaign--a daily rosary novena to last nine months extending from today through the election. The intention: that the election will result in an increased respect for human life at all stages.

I am hopeful that all of you good ladies will pass this invitation along to your husbands. In fact, I hope you will, in turn, spread the word to all the Catholic men in your life. Just think what a huge and powerful prayer campaign we can get going in these months leading up to the election!

Here is the new website: Holy League.

And here is the text of Fr. Rick's message from today:
________________________________
Dear Friends in Christ,

Now is the Time! Christ put it this way, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

On the eve of Super Tuesday, and exactly nine months from election day, the sense of urgency could not be greater.

I am asking all men who truly believe that “nothing is impossible with God,” to join me, in this critical election year, to reclaim surrendered ground from the culture of death.

This clarion call is not for those who are too absorbed in their own lives, or for those who have long since lost the belief in answered prayer. This is for those who have been waiting for just such a campaign that asks them be a part of something so important … possibly the most important thing.

Here it is, quite simply ...

The epic Battle of Lepanto in 1571 called on all Catholic warriors and knights to band together to form an armada to combat spiritual error and fight for Truth. The faithful remnant in the day of Lepanto was dubbed “The Holy League.”

In the Spirit of Lepanto, we are compelled to re-ignite the warrior spirit in all of us and take a stand against the mighty forces of spiritual error and the dictatorship of moral relativism. Do I have your attention? Good!!

The battle today is a spiritual warfare and is fought, by and large, on our knees. Please go to this brand new website, launched just today, and join ranks with the new armada of life as we gather the warriors and knights once again to form the new “Holy League” for today. We are appealing to every Catholic man and every Catholic men’s apostolate and organization with this clarion call to join ranks in this new “Holy League.” Don’t be found outside looking in … stand up and be counted!

The story of Lepanto, the prayer campaign, the weapons of spiritual warfare … it’s all there on this exciting new website.

Please join, and please do all you can to spread the message of this clarion call to join the “Holy League.”

Domino Gloria!

Fr. Rick Heilman

Fr. Rick is so charged up about this and really feels that we could get most of the Catholic men's apostolates in the U.S. and many, many individual Catholic men praying for this cause... The power of prayer has moved mountains...
