Dear Friend of Our Lady Cr34

"If My requests are not granted Russia will raise up wars ...
"
... Our Lady of Fatima
J.M.J.
Feast of the Most Holy Rosary
October 1990
Dear Friend of Our Lady,
You may have thought I was exaggerating last year when I wrote you that 1990
was going to be one of the most crucial and dangerous years in history.
But as recent events in the Persian Gulf and here at home have shown, this was
no idle forecast. Our Lady's above noted Fatima prophecy continues to be
realized before our very eyes. (See "Fatima Is Our Only Hope" in this issue.)
As we send you this new issue of The Fatima Crusader, the world stands
poised on the very edge of war and our economy is fast sinking into the deep
darkness of recession.
Nearly 200,000 of our young servicemen (U.S. and Canadian) are thousands of
miles from home facing a most ruthless and evil foe like Hitler and Stalin. A
man who has publicly declared an "unholy" war on Christianity and Christian
civilization.
To make matters worse, at the same time that our brave soldiers and sailors are
confronting Saddam Hussein's poison gas and Russian-made missiles, the Free
World's economy is tottering on the brink of economic disaster.
As if rising oil prices, inflation and unemployment were not enough, now there
is grave concern that our entire banking system may be on the verge of total
collapse.
Time is clearly running out. We are on the verge of a truly horrible
catastrophe...
If we ever needed the assistance and intercession of Heaven, we need it today.
If we ever needed Our Lady, we need Her NOW!
Our Lady will Protect Her "Dear Ones"
www.fatima.org
As you know, Our Lady told us that "war is the punishment for sin." At Fatima
and elsewhere, She repeatedly warned us of the terrible trials to come if we did
not turn to Her.
Indeed, everything from the war on the unborn to the collapse of our economy
has been predicted by Our Lady at Fatima or in other Church-approved
apparitions.
And yet, despite the evidence of their own eyes, so few have truly listened to
Our Blessed Mother, so few have believed the Queen of Heaven Whom God
Himself has crowned.
Today, you and I are witnessing the actual fulfillment of Our Lady of Fatima's
words of warning, the living proof of Her eternal faithfulness before God and
man.
And let me assure you
Just as Her words of warning have been fulfilled, so too will Heaven's
Queen remain faithful to Her promises.
In these times of terrible danger, you and I must never forget that Our Lady has
promised Sister Lucy that She will always, always protect and safeguard Her
"dear ones."
This is a promise sealed by Heaven. A promise more valuable than all the
world's gold, more powerful than all its weapons, more certain and inevitable
than the rising of the sun.
And believe me, this promise is our only defense, our only protection!
The Campaign to Destroy the Church
Sadly at the time when we need it most, our own Catholic Church is virtually
paralyzed by ever growing internal dissent.
Today, every standard and value that you and I hold as faithful, practicing
Catholics is being called into question by powerful forces both within and
without the Church.
As I've told you before, their diabolical goal is nothing less than the total
destruction of our Faith as taught by Jesus Christ and handed down to us by the
Apostles and Saints.
This year has seen the start of the most vicious campaign yet to dismantle
nearly 2,000 years of Catholic Tradition and practice.
www.fatima.org
Starting with the grotesque "Open Letter" in the New York Times on Ash
Wednesday, there has been one attack after another this year committed in the
name of "reform" or "liberalization."
The newest of these is a so-called "scientific report" by a former Benedictine
named Sipes which claims that HALF of all American priests have broken their
sacred vows of chastity.
The "Sipes Report" is bogus from beginning to end: it's based on the
evidence of a tiny handful of priests all of whom have been under
medical treatment.
Sipes' claims are so ludicrous and patently unscientific that they would be
laughable if it were not for the fact that his bogus report has received
tremendous publicity in all the media.
Because of all the publicity, millions of Catholics and non-Catholics now believe
that most priests are not only sinners, but out-and-out liars and hypocrites as
well.
The damage that this phony baloney report has done to the Church and our
traditions is almost beyond calculating And of course, already the cries for an
end to priestly celibacy have started up louder and more shrill that ever!
It's clear that these so-called "reformers" will not be content
until every sacrament of the Church is so altered or transformed that they are
virtually unrecognizable.
Prayer and Sacrifice Our ONLY Hope
Truly, what are war and economic crisis compared to the destruction of our Holy
Faith?
Looking at world and Church events, can you be surprised that so many people
(especially children) have lost their faith and their way?
Yet my dear friend, there is a clear way out of this crisis.
It's the reason that Our Lady came to Fatima and it's the way that She taught
us through prayer, reparation and sacrifice.
Today, the lives of millions are threatened. Even more importantly, the souls
and salvation of hundreds of millions are hanging in the balance.
What you and I do now means everything. The decisions we make today are
crucial!
www.fatima.org
With all my heart and strength, I beg you to pray for God's help and guidance in
these troubled times. Please pray as many Rosaries as you can for peace and
for the safety of our young men and women in freedom's frontlines overseas.
More join with us throughout the month of October in offering a special
novena to Our Lady of the Rosary, Queen of Peace. I will be remembering your
special intentions every day at Mass both here at home and on pilgrimage
in FATIMA and LOURDES.
And yes, I need to ask you to pray for one more thing as well
The last issue of The Fatima Crusader?
I'm sure I don't have to tell you by now that to put this issue of Our Lady's
magazine in your hands (and those of other friends) costs the Apostolate many
tens of thousands of dollars.
As tensions around the world have increased and attacks on our Faith have
mounted, we have responded by our own great campaign to bring Our Lady's
Fatima Message to a world in pain.
With your help, we have reached out to millions with Her words of warning and
hope. We have stood up to those who would mutilate our traditions and we have
defended our Holy Faith.
Indeed, we have often been the only voice of large circulation "crying in the
wilderness."
For most of this year, the Apostolate has been facing a terrible, continuing
financial crisis. At times, only prayer and our total confidence in God and Our
Lady have kept us going.
Today, we urgently need your prayers and offerings to keep the saving Message
of Fatima reaching out across the world through this magazine and Our Lady's
radio and television programs.
Only your continued faith and sacrifice can assure that this will not be
the last issue of Our Lady's magazine to reach you and millions of
others.
Believe me, it is truly that plain and simple!
Listen to Our Lady Pray and Sacrifice NOW
I beg you to listen to Our Lady and heed the inspiration of the Holy Ghost
before it is too late for all of us.
www.fatima.org
I am praying that you will make your most generous sacrifice ever to keep
bringing Our Lady's Message to a world in desperate need. A gift of $1000 or
$500 or even $100 can make a huge difference. An offering of only $75 or $50
will mean so much at this time of crisis. But even $5 or $10 will be most useful
and greatly appreciated.
And if possible your additional monthly pledge of only $15 or $20 can mean that
the words of Fatima will reach out to millions of souls.
But please the important thing is to give WHATEVER YOU CAN TRULY
AFFORD anything at all will help in this great battle to fulfill Our Lady's
promise of peace and to defend our Holy Faith.
Our Lady will never be outdone in generosity by you.
I know you will not fail Our Lady or Her Apostolate in this critical time of need.
God bless and keep you.
Yours in Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Father Nicholas Gruner
P.S. 100 PERCENT WRONG!! The events in the Persian Gulf and the chaos in the
Soviet Union show just how phony the claims are that the Consecration of
Russia has been done. We remain the only powerful voice left urging the Holy
Father and Bishops to obey Our Lady and bring true peace to the world.
We must have your help to continue this great effort and to bring the Queen of
Heaven's words to millions around the world. PLEASE GIVE AS GENEROUSLY AS
YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
