Why We Pray the Rosary at St Basil’s

Parish

From Father Walter

Twenty-five years ago I decided to visit the homeland of my forefathers to reconnect with my roots. This trip gave me the opportunity to visit the church in Hrushiw where the blessed Virgin appeared to thousands of pilgrims. In her message to the

pilgrims she stated: “The Rosary is the weapon against Satan. He fears the Rosary. Say the Rosary every day.”

Here are some of her other messages:

“I have come on purpose to thank the Ukrainian people because you have suffered most for the Church of Christ in the last seventy years.”

“Teach the children to pray. Teach children to live in truth and live yourselves in truth. Forgive nations which have harmed you. Do not forget those who have died in Chernobyl disaster. Chernobyl is a reminder and a sign for the whole world.”

“Repent and love one another. The times are coming, which have been foretold, as being those in the end of times.”

“See the desolation which surrounds the world: the sins, the sloth, the genocide. I come to you with tears in my eyes and I emplore you, pray and work for good, and for the glory of God. Ukraine was the first country to acknowledge me as Queen and I have received her under my care. Work for God for without this, there is not happiness and no one will gain the Kingdom of God.”

“You shall gain my heart and live in unity. Follow the leaders of the Church boldly and you will gain your own country and power and love amongst nations of the world. I love Ukraine and Ukrainian people for their suffering and faithfulness to Christ the King and I shall protect Ukraine for the glory and the future of the Kingdom of God on earth.”

Father Gabriel Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican writes: one day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism” Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end.” The secret that makes this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin and to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ.

When you pray Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now…, the Blessed Mother comes instantly to your side to pray with you. And she does not come alone. She brings angels with her. And not just one or two for she is the Queen of Angels, so choirs of angels come with her. And she and Jesus are joined at the heart and cannot be separated so she brings Jesus with her. And Jesus cannot be separated from the Trinity so He brings the Father and Holy Spirit with Him. And where the Holy Trinity is, all of creation is, and you are surrounded by such beauty and lights as you cannot imagine in this life. Your Mother comes as Our Lady of Grace with her hands outstretched. Rays of light emit from her hands piercing your body, healing you and filling you with graces. This is your inheritance which was poured out from the heart of Jesus on the Cross, when the centurion pierced His Heart with the spear, into the only pure vessel ready to receive such graces at that time, your Mother Mary. Now as you pray the Rosary or even just recite one Hail Mary, you receive your portion of these graces. Anyone who goes to Mary and prays the Rosary cannot be touched by Satan.

We at St. Basil’s Parish pray the Rosary daily before Divine Liturgy. The power of the Rosary is revealing the hidden darkness that has been influencing the souls of the faithful. Each day I can feel more light entering the sacred place of St Basil’s Church and the darkness is endeavouring to hide itself. However, the Light will win and the Kingdom of God will be proclaimed.

PRAYER

“PRAYER is something that has always been a part of me. I prayed when I needed to hear

my Father’s heart, when I was baptized by John, when I chose the twelve, when I did mighty

works, when I broke bread, and when I blessed the children. I prayed when facing my

darkest hour, and I prayed as I gave my life upon the cross.

I prayed in public before others, and I prayed alone. I prayed in the daytime, and I prayed at

night.

When I prayed with my disciples just before I was arrested in the garden, you were included

in that prayer. When I taught my disciples how to pray, it was for your understanding as well.

I know that I am not physically present with you today as I was with my disciples so many

years ago, but my heart of prayer has not changed. I am praying for you now because you

are mine. My love for you today is great, and my heart for you is full. I pray peace over you

and blessings upon you. I pray rivers of joy to be within you and to flow out through you.

I pray good things over you. I pray that your life will bear much fruit, that you will grow in

grace, that your faith will increase, and that you will stand strong until the day that I see you

face to face.” -Jesus

FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Part One

At Baptism, we receive seven special gifts from

the Holy Spirit (wisdom, understanding, counsel,

fortitude, knowledge, piety & fear of the Lord).

These gifts are freely given to us to help us live as

followers of Jesus and to build up the Body of

Christ, the Church. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are

sealed and strengthened within us at

Confirmation. These seven gifts help us to

respond to the presence of the Holy Spirit in our

lives, to make good choices, and to serve God

and others.

When we cooperate with the graces and gifts we

receive from the Holy Spirit, we grow as followers

of Jesus. We see the effect of the Holy Spirit’s

presence in our lives in special qualities and attitudes that we develop as we grow in faith.

The Church identifies these qualities and attitudes as the fruits of the Holy Spirit. The fruits of

the Holy Spirit are signs that the Holy Spirit is alive within us and helping us live the Catholic

faith in our daily lives.

There is one very special incredible verse of Scripture

that will tell you that God the Father wants to transmit

and impart specific fruits of the Holy Spirit into our

personalities.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, self-control.” (Galatians 5:22)

God wants all of us to enter into a true sanctification process with Him so that He can begin

the process of molding, shaping, and transforming us into the express image of His Son

Jesus Christ. He wants to make us into a better and more holy people. He wants to transform

us by the renewing of our minds. He wants to put right thinking into our thought process. It is

by the power of the Holy Spirit that this sanctification process is done with you in this life. You

are not to be a passive robot in this process. You have to be willing to work in cooperation

with the Holy Spirit once He begins to start this sanctification process within you.

June 28, 2015

Note the following:

1. The word “Spirit” is with a capital “S” – which means these fruits are coming

directly from the Holy Spirit, not from us.

2. What this means is that God’s love, God’s peace, God’s joy, and God’s goodness

can start to be transmitted up into our personality. These are His divine attributes

and personality qualities that will start to move into the core of our personality.

3. Think about the ramifications of this – that God the Father Himself is allowing us

to share in a part of His divine nature by allowing His Holy Spirit to transmit and

impart these nine divine qualities right up into our soul and personality!

In one short, but incredibly powerful Scripture verse, God the Father is giving all of us an

incredible revelation on what can go on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm for those

who are willing to work with Him in this sanctification process. Note that almost every aspect

of the fruit of the Spirit deals with our relationships.

Scripture has a surprisingly large number of

passages dealing with our relationship to "one

another". God wants to build us up into a single body,

a single Bride for his Son. How we deal with one

another is very important.

As we shall see in the following discussion, the

different fruits are interrelated.

LOVE – to love with a God-like love, unconditionally, and

vigorously, not counting the cost, not being based on

mere reciprocity. It is wanting only what is good for the

other. Agape love is a decision; it does not depend

on feelings. God loves "the world" (John 3:16), and we

are told to be Imitators of God" (Ephesians 5;1). Jesus

commands us to love one another (John 13:34), love our

neighbor (Mark 12;36), and love our enemies (Matthew 5:44). We have a choice whether to

obey or to disobey these commands. We love our fellow man, not because we are attracted

to him or drawn to him, but because God commands us to love and we have decided to obey

God's commands. After we have made that decision the feeling may come, but we love

whether or not it comes. This means that we can learn to love.

The central importance of love. "Whoever does not love does not know God, because

God is love" (1 John 4:8). He has loved us with an everlasting love and drawn us with loving-

kindness (Jeremiah 31:3). "His love endures forever" (Psalm 136). God is "abounding in

love" (Psalm 103:8). If we would be "imitators of God" (Ephesians 5:1), if we would

"participate in the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4), then we must love. Jesus Christ has given us

June 28, 2015

the greatest example of love in coming to earth and dying for our salvation, and he has told

us to love one another as he has loved us (John 13:34-35).

Love expresses itself in action. 1 John 3:18 declares. "Let us not love with words or

tongue, but with actions and in truth." It has been said that, "Love can be known only from

the actions it prompts."

Self-sacrifice "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers" (1 John 3:16).

Obedience to God's commands One of the essential aspects of agape love is

obedience to God. Jesus said, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching" (John

14:23, see also v. 15). I John 5:2 says, "this is how we know that we love the children

of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands." 1 John 2:5 says "If anyone

obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him."

Thankfulness "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits" (Psalm 103:2).

"Give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Not only does our

thankfulness express our love for God, but as we decide to be thankful and recognize

the blessings he has given us we realize more fully how much he loves us, and our

love for him increases. Similarly, thankfulness to others increases our love for them.

Compassion At one point Jesus withdrew to a solitary place, but when a large crowd

followed him "he had compassion on them and healed their sick" (Matthew 14:14).

Then he fed them. John says, "If anyone has material possessions and sees his

brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" (1 John

3:17; see James 2:15-16).

Love is the motivator that releases the power of the Holy Spirit within us. Love for God

motivates us to want to become like God in character. Love for our fellow men motivates us

to want to show them kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and patience. Without

love our gifts and actions are nothing (1 Corinthians 13:1-3). They need the powerful

motivation of love to be effective. "God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy

Spirit, whom he has given us" (Romans 5:5), and it is that love that releases the power of the

Holy Spirit to work within and through us.

An examination of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 will show

much about the nature of love, and its

relationship to the other aspects of the fruit of

the Spirit.

"Love is patient". Patience is an aspect of the

fruit of the Spirit. Ephesians 4:2 says "Be

completely humble and gentle; be patient,

bearing with one another in love."

June 28, 2015

"Love is kind." Kindness is another aspect of the fruit of the Spirit.

"It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." (In this sense it is related to gentleness,

which includes humility.) Jesus Christ is the greatest example of love and he "humbled

himself and became obedient to death" (Philippians 2:8).

"It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered." Self-control is another aspect of

the fruit of the Spirit. So are kindness, gentleness and peace.

"It keeps no record of wrongs." God blots out our transgressions (Psalms 51:1, 103:12); so

we need to forget the wrongs others have done us.

"Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth." "Instead, speaking the truth in love,

we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ" (Ephesians 4:15).

"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

Faithfulness is one of the aspects of the fruit of the Spirit. God's "love endures forever"

(Psalms 106:1, 118:1, 130:7, 136; Lamentations 3:22-23). "From everlasting to everlasting

the Lord's love is with those who fear him" (Psalm 103:17). God's love is unfailing. If we are

to be like him, then our love must endure and not fail. It needs to be always there for those

whom we love.

JOY The joy referred to here is more than a

passing worldly joy. It is deeper than an emotional

experience. It is rooted in God and comes from

him. Since it does not have the world for its origin

but, rather, comes from God, it is more serene and

stable than worldly joy, which is merely emotional

and lasts only for a time.

Joy is directly related to several other aspects of

the fruit of the Spirit: Love (Psalm 31:7), peace

(Romans 14:17), faith (Philippians 1:25; see 1

Peter 1:8), and patience (Colossians 1:11-12).

Joy is also a command. "Be joyful always" (1 Thessalonians 5:16). "Rejoice in the Lord

always, and again I say rejoice" (Philippians 4:4). We must decide to rejoice regardless of the

circumstances, and regardless of whether we feel like it. Our joy does not depend on the

circumstances. It rests on our relationship with the Father. We can have joy, no matter what

the circumstances, because we are the adopted sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven

and we know that He loves us and desires our companionship. It is because He has given us

"new birth unto a living hope" (1 Peter 1:3) that we can be joyful (1 Peter 1:8-9). Jesus wants

us to have the "full measure" of his joy (John 17:13). He wants our joy to be "complete" (John

June 28, 2015

15:11, 16:24). We find joy by being in the presence of the Father. "In thy presence is fullness

of joy" (Psalm 16:11 KJV). "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all

circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). As we pray we acknowledge our relationship with

the Father and come into His presence. Giving thanks is crucial. In any situation we can

decide whether to give thanks or to complain. Complaining brings misery and giving thanks

brings joy. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds"

(James 1:2). We do not enjoy the trials, but we recognize that they are part of a process by

which God is teaching us and shaping us to become the person he wants us to be, and we

take joy in the fact that he cares enough about us to want to shape us. We can indeed

rejoice always and give thanks in all circumstances because we know beyond a shadow of a

doubt that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are the called

according to his purposes" (Rom 8:28). We are in a win-win situation!

In the rough and tough world we live in with all of

the crime, disorder, and bad things that can

happen to anyone of us at any time, many

Christians have lost a lot of their joy in the Lord as

a result of some of the beatings they have taken

in this life. The quality of joy is a much needed

quality in this day and age. No matter how bad of

a beating you may have taken in this life – God

can still fully heal, deliver, and restore you if you

are willing to work with Him in this healing

process. Realize that God can transmit this divine

quality right up into your personality – and this will be His joy, not your joy, once it starts to

flow up into you.

And once God starts to release His joy into your system, you won’t be able to help but feel it.

And once you are able to start feeling it again, it will become much easier for you to learn

how to walk back in it in your own daily walk with the Lord.

The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is your strength. This is why it is so important that

every Christian have some level of God’s joy operating through them in this life. Without

God’s joy operating in your life, things can begin to dry up. Nothing is ever fun anymore.

Everything can start to become a chore. Before you know it, you will want to start to withdraw

from others and life in general.

The joy of the Lord can really give you an incredible surge of strength in your own daily walk

with God – especially when you have to take on some really tough situations.

This is why each Christian should work very closely with the Holy Spirit in not only getting

Him to release His joy into their system, but to also keep it running through them on a very

regular and consistent basis.

Mary Refuge of Holy Love says, “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today, I invite you to understand that Satan often turns good into his tool of evil. Take, for

instance, some of the virtues such as obedience. Obedience in and of itself is admirable and

deepens the soul’s journey in holiness. But obedience can be used to control and

manipulate by the abuse of authority. It is then that it becomes a tool in Satan’s hand.

Another example would be patience, a virtue that often takes a lifetime to mature. But if you

are patient with the sins of others instead of correcting them, your patience becomes an

instrument of evil. This all tells you that you must look at the fruits of your actions. Do you

see the salvation of souls and your own personal holiness benefiting from your actions? Or

are you enabling evil under the pretense of practicing virtue? Take time to think this through.

Do nothing for the sake of popularity or material gain. Do all things in Holy Love.”
