JOIN THE AMERICA NEEDS FATIMA 2021 PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE

WHO: Catholics Praying the Holy Rosary WHERE: Doña Ana County Offices Parking Lot on Motel Blvd. WHEN: Saturday, May 15, 2021 at Noon WHY: Public prayer is far more POWERFUL than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy. (St. Louis De Mont-fort)

WHY ELSE: America is at a historic crossroad. America is suffering from a pandemic, rioting, looting, & murder, as well as moral & societal collapse. It is urgent that we heed our Lady’s request & stop sinning if we hope to enjoy God’s blessing & avert His wrath. He will hear us if we pray through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. DO: 1. Join fellow Catholics for this public prayer 2. Wear some shade of blue 3. Bring an extra rosary to share. 4. We are adhering to NM Guidance so bring a mask! 5. Look for the Sign-In Table when you arrive for the Rosary Prayer Program.

Elegir Amarse Unos a Otros Amaos los unos a los otros. El mandamiento más grande, el mandamiento más simple — y si alguna vez has amado a al-guien, sabes que también es el más difícil. Soy lo suficientemente hombre para admitirlo. He visto una o dos de esas películas cursis Hallmark que son especialmente populares durante las fiestas. Chico conoce Chica. Chico y chica se encuentran con un bloqueo catastrófico en su relación-son entrenadores de equipos rivales de voleibol de la escuela secundaria, o él dirige una perrera y ella trabaja en un rescate felino, por lo que nunca, nunca podría funcionar, ¿verdad? Pero espolvorear un poco de magia de la película sobre toda la situación y el Niño y la Niña encontrar lo que Hallmark nos dice es el amor verdadero. Podría hacer una lista de todas las cosas que son inexactas sobre estas películas, y algo que pondría justo cerca de la parte superior, tal vez incluso por encima de las historias a veces increíbles, es la idea de que el amor es un sentimiento. Mira, no estoy seguro de si es correcto llamar a estas películas historias de amor. Historias de atracción, claro. Pero si alguna vez has perdonado a alguien que te ha hecho daño, has cuidado a un padre moribundo, te has levantado para la alimentación nocturna de un bebé o has dejado que tu hijo coma el último trozo de pastel, sabes que el amor verdadero es un verbo. Es algo que haces. Y casi siempre es una elección. Amaos los unos a los otros. ¿Con qué frecuencia escuchamos esto? ¿Con qué frecuencia pensamos en lo que realmente significa? ¿Con qué frecuencia nos tomamos un momento para considerar la acción que Jesús nos está pidiendo que tomemos y la elección que nos está pidiendo que hagamos? — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS © LPi

Choosing to Love One Another Love one another. The greatest commandment, the simplest commandment — and if you’ve ever loved anyone, you know it’s also the hardest. I’m man enough to admit it. I’ve seen one or two of those cheesy Hallmark movies that are especially popular around the holidays. Boy meets Girl. Boy and Girl encounter a catastrophic roadblock to their relationship — they’re coaches of rival high school volleyball teams, or he runs a dog kennel and she works at a feline rescue, so it could never, ever work out, right? But sprinkle a little movie magic over the whole situation and Boy and Girl find what Hallmark tells us is true love. I could make a list of all the things that are inaccurate about these movies, and something I would put right near the top — maybe even above the sometimes-unbelievable storylines — is the idea that love is a feeling. See, I’m not sure if it’s accurate to call these movies love sto-ries. Attraction stories, sure. But if you’ve ever forgiven some-one who’s hurt you, nursed a dying parent, gotten up for an in-fant’s night feeding or let your kid have the last piece of cake, you know that real love is a verb. It’s something you do. And it is almost always a choice. Love one another. How often do we hear this? How often do we

think about what it really means? How often do we take a mo-ment to consider the action Jesus is asking us to take and the

choice he is asking us to make? — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi
