I am sure you remember that one of Our Lady’s requests at Fatima was for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart. There has been a good deal of debate in recent years as to whether this request has been complied with. I’m not sure what to think about it.
A few months ago, I read somewhere that the SSPX had initiated a crusade of 12 million rosaries (that is, 5-decade chaplets), for the consecration of Russia in accordance with Our Lady’s express request. This follows their amazing achievement at the beginning of this year, when they presented the Holy Father with a spiritual bouquet of over a million chaplets, for the intention that the excommunication of their four bishops might be lifted. The results of that were, shall we say, rather more dramatic than expected …
Twelve million rosaries is a hugely ambitious target. The period runs through to the Feast of the Annunciation, 25th March 2010, which sounds like plenty of time, but you know how the weeks and months slip by.
I feel very sad about the SSPX's situation. I hope the forthcoming discussions are fruitful in every way, for their benefit and for that of all the Church. I have decided to contribute some rosaries. If you are interested, their District of Great Britain has an e-form you can use. Those of you who live in other parts of the world will probably be able to find something on the internet that is more local to you, but I’m sure you could use the above if you wish.

Personally I am delighted to join in. I pray daily for the conversion of Russia and remind Our Lady that she has said that it will come about........despite anything else. I also include the conversion of the Moslems and the Scandinavians. I suppose that I should include England these days......!

Splendid! So many countries and people to pray for ... As regards Our Lady's message at Fatima about Russia spreading her errors: sadly, the infection is widespread throughout the world. China of course is a prime example,also North Korea, amd others; not to mention the versions such as Trotskyism which have infected many in the West.
