Good Friday Rosary

Imagine what might happen if every Christian in the world would pray a Rosary on
the same day! We have an example in October of 1571 when Europe was saved from
the invasion of the mighty Turkish fleet, by the praying of the Rosary by all
Christians!

There is a "crusade" of sorts (no pun intended) to get every Catholic in the world to say the Rosary tomorrow, Good Friday, between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm. Pray for the return of moral pro-life values in the world. Pray for the Pope's intention for April, "That through its compelling preaching of the Gospel, the Church may give young people new reasons for life and hope". Pray for your own intentions. Just pray, period.

"I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor:
the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.

Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul.

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy".
