Pope Puts World in Mary's Hands

Just to add to the chaos in our world, I came across this article today on Fulfilled Prophecy, and after reading the headlines, I mustered up the strength to cry out to Jesus to please save His people from the insanity in this God forsaken world.

I suppose I should not be shocked at anything the Roman organization comes out with these days. Even as I cried out to God for His redemption to come soon, the Words of Habakkuk came before me:

"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places."

Pontiff Puts World in Mary's Hands

• POMPEII, Italy, OCT. 19, 2008 .- Benedict XVI placed the world in Mary's hands during his one-day visit to the shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in Pompeii, near Naples.
• The Pope's leading of the Supplication of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary, a prayer written by Blessed Bartolo Longo (1841-1926) was one of the high points of this 12th pastoral trip in Italy."We implore you to have pity today on the nations that have gone astray, on all Europe, on the whole world, that they might repent and return to your heart," the text of the prayer reads.
• With the words of Bartolo, the Pontiff turned to Mary, saying: "If you will not help us because we are ungrateful and unworthy children of your protection, we will not know to whom to turn." Huh??
