Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world

Catholics in America are facing a tough predicament at the moment with Obama's healthcare mandate, a bill which threatens to force people to accept the use of contraception, for their money to be spent on these things even though it goes completely against their beliefs. The National Catholic Register has posted the following article (http://www.ncregister.com/blog/dan-burke/why-the-popes-army-will-not-kneel-to-the-hhs-mandate) on why they will not accept this decision, why they and all American Catholics must stand against it. The article asks all readers to pray the rosary, to pray hard that this will not come to pass. Please join them with at least a decade a day.

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life: Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy. Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life. AMEN

What we're all about

We are a group of parishioners from St John the Evangelist Catholic Church in the diocese of Arundel & Brighton who, through a mixture of our faith and our personal experiences, are convinced of the immeasurable value of each and every human life at every stage and through every challenge. "Blessed the man whose help comes from you, who has set his heart on reaching you. They pass through the valley of thirst and make a spring there: the morning rain will cover it with blessings." (Psalm 84)
