A Call for a Rosary Novena

Among the most important titles we have in the Catholic Church for the Blessed Virgin Mary are Our Lady of Victory and Our Lady of the Rosary. These titles can be traced back to one of the most decisive times in the history of the world and Christendom. The Battle of Lepanto took place on October 7 (date of feast of Our Lady of Rosary), 1571. This proved to be the most crucial battle for the Christian forces against the radical Muslim navy of Turkey. Pope Pius V led a procession around St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City praying the Rosary. He showed true pastoral leadership in recognizing the danger posed to Christendom by the radical Muslim forces, and in using the means necessary to defeat it. Spiritual battles require spiritual weapons, and this more than anything was a battle that had its origins in the spiritual order—a true battle between good and evil.

Today we have a similar spiritual battle in progress—a battle between the forces of good and evil, light and darkness, truth and lies, life and death. If we do not soon stop the genocide of abortion in the United States, we shall run the course of all those that prove by their actions that they are enemies of God—total collapse, economic, social, and national. The moral demise of a nation results in the ultimate demise of a nation. God is not a disinterested spectator to the affairs of man. Life begins at conception. This is an unalterable formal teaching of the Catholic Church. If you do not accept this you are a heretic in plain English. A single abortion is homicide. The more than 48,000,000 abortions since Roe v. Wade in the United States constitute genocide by definition. The group singled out for death—unwanted, unborn children.

No other issue, not all other issues taken together, can constitute a proportionate reason for voting for candidates that intend to preserve and defend this holocaust of innocent human life that is abortion.

I strongly urge every one of you to make a Novena and pray the Rosary to Our Lady of Victory between October 27th and Election Day, November 4th. Pray that God’s will be done and the most innocent and utterly vulnerable of our brothers and sisters will be protected from this barbaric and grossly sinful blight on society that is abortion. No woman, and no man, has the right to choose to murder an innocent human being.


May God grant us the wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and counsel to form our conscience in accordance with authentic Catholic teaching, and then vote that well-formed Catholic conscience.

God Bless You

Fr. John Corapi

What's On Weekly Wisdom With Fr. John Corapi

St. Paul

Now Playing: October 4th: "St. Paul and the Cross"--This episode of Weekly Wisdom deals with some of St. Paul’s teaching concerning the Cross of Christ. The key passage from Sacred Scripture that inspired Fr. Corapi’s doctoral thesis in dogmatic theology was Colossians 1:24—“It is now my joy to suffer for you as I fill up in my own poor human flesh that which is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of his body the Church.” Christ and his disciple must be one in the work of Redemption. This episode will help us understand the profound teaching of St. Paul concerning the meaning of Christian and human suffering.

St. Teresa of Avila

Now Playing: October 11th: "St. Teresa of Avila"—Another preview of Father's series in progress, “Lessons from My Favorite Saints”. In this episode of Weekly Wisdom Fr. Corapi speaks about lessons we can learn from the life and teaching of one of the great saints and doctors of the Church, St. Teresa of Jesus or Teresa of Avila. The Foundress of the Discalced Carmelite reform of the Carmelite order, St. Teresa is one of the most influential teachers of Catholic spirituality. Her simple and easy to understand teaching is of great value to every person desiring to advance in the way of spiritual perfection.

Victory of the Rosary

Now Playing: October 18th: "The Victory of the Rosary"—Father begins this talk with a short description of the Battle of Lepanto whose victory is widely attributed to Pope Pius the V leading the prayer of the Rosary in St. Peter's square. Father soon relates the victory of the Rosary to a more pressing issue in America today; Abortion and the upcoming election. This is a very moving and powerful Weekly Wisdom you will want to show your friends and family!

One of the more constant themes in Fr. Corapi’s teaching and preaching over the years has concerned the holy Rosary. This prayer of the holy Gospels is a powerful weapon against evil. Throughout the history of the Church the Rosary has been employed to combat evil in its various forms and to win great victories for the Church and for individual souls. In this episode of Weekly Wisdom Father speaks about his favorite personal prayer and why it is so powerful.
