There is a fight on for Ireland, our faith and our unborn.
Will you join us?
A group of people from various parts of Ireland is drawing together in the realisation that the most effective thing we can do now for our faith and our country is to pray.
We know that Our Lady only needs to be implored in order to step in. She can save this country, but we need to ask her to do so. Will you join the fight? Please consider doing some of the following:
1. Ask your parish priest to consecrate your parish to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (suggested date: 8th December, feast of the Immaculate Conception).
2. Consecrate yourself to Our Lady whether with a process of preparation, or outright as you are. Place your family under her safeguarding by consecrating them as well, the graces you will gain for your entire family will be immeasurable.
3. Of pivotal importance right now is the fight for the 8th Amendment. We were each put here, right now, as we are, to be soldiers in the moral warfare. Please be courageous and stand up for the unborn; ask your priest to consecrate the 8th Amendment of our Constitution to Our Lady's protection, he can do it with a simple additional prayer after a parish consecration. You can also do this yourself at home because the 8th Amendment belongs to us all. Consecrate it to Mary's Immaculate Heart in your prayers.

A suggested prayer for public or private, group or individual use follows at the end of this post. Please feel free to copy it, circulate it and say it yourself.
You may be able to do some or all of the above, but every effort will be seen by God. It will all add up. This battle cannot be won without the help of God and Our Lady, but with them we can win a great victory.
If you are not in or from Ireland we would ask you to join us in solidarity nevertheless. You can still consecrate yourself and your families to Our Lady, and please consecrate our 8th Amendment from afar and remember Ireland in your prayers – we are after all one family in the faith.
For more information on consecration to Our Lady see www.allheartsafire.com (http://www.allheartsafire.com/) or buy the book '33 Days to Morning Glory' by Fr. Michael Gaitley. Anything by St Louis Marie de Montfort and St Maximilian Kolbe are recommended further reading.

Consecration to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary
In the presence of Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, witnessed by Heaven and Earth, I declare solemnly that I freely and with all my heart consecrate myself to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. In this heart given to me by Christ while hanging on the cross I wish to live, to act, and to die.
This heart is my refuge and the way that leads me to God. Mercifully deign O Mary to take me wholly and entirely as they property and possession. Mold, form and protect my heart inside thine own Immaculate Heart. Teach me to live always in union with thee, through thee, with thee, in thee, for thee. Hence in union with thee I will likewise magnify the Lord.
All the souls entrusted to me I hand over to thee. All my intentions I place with the greatest confidence in thy motherly care.
I especially consecrate to Thee dear mother Ireland's 8th Amendment of the Constitution. Please keep this defense of our unborn children under the mantle of thy motherly protection. I give Ireland to Thee dear mother, all its people born and unborn, all generations past, present and future, to love and serve you in order to love and serve thy Son. May love for Thee and praise for the Lord resound from one corner of our land to the other.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

A Facebook post from the organisers
Spread the message.
A little while ago I made a post on my timeline about how Ireland needed Our Mother Mary. Someone had commented that Ireland was finished, that the faith was gone.
There is no denying that Ireland has gone from being a stronghold of the faith to a secular country in a very short space of time. After the South of Ireland legalised so called "gαy marriage" it was suggested that Catholics make reparations by fasting and doing penance. Just think of the difference that would have made if priests called upon their parishioners to do say three days of fasting. "gαy marriage" was rolled into Ireland without any significant resistance from the Church.
Now we have people seeking to kill our most vulnerable by the removal of the 8th amendment. But it is not a lost cause, Ireland is not finished. This time we must take action.
Fr. Michael Gaitley came to Ireland to promote consecration to Our Lady here. He had an interior feeling that he was called to go to Ireland. Why do you think Our Lady had sent him? Mary, Our Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland wants to help us. She wants us to call upon her, we need to promote Consecration to Mary. Phone, email, speak to your parish priest suggesting they consecrate their parish and the 8th amendment to the protection of Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. Tell your family and friends about it, suggest to them to do it. Consecrating yourself to Mary is a life changing event. To Jesus through Mary.

A comment also from an organiser
Apathy is the big problem. People see impassioned pleas to pray or take action and perhaps they are moved a little bit, perhaps they agree with you but many are so worn down by the secular onslaught that they don’t have the will to fight anymore. It’s not hip to be ‘too holy’. This battle we’re fighting is the ultimate decider for Ireland. Are you willing to stand up for what you believe in regardless what your friends or colleagues think? Ask your Priest to say the consecration prayer at one of the masses on the 8th Dec. If he says no that’s ok, say it yourself, wrap it in a spiritual bow and send it on to Our Lady.

I and others have been pushing a message that is starting to resonate with others. The message being the right to life is non negotiable and can never be subject to a vote. A well funded albeit small abortion campaign has forced a referendum.
Calls for a referendum must be rejected. Many want religion to be kept out of the abortion 'debate' but it is essential we involve ourselves in these consecrations and this upcoming rosary around the coast of Ireland.

An interesting snippet here from the President of the National Party here in Ireland.
The result of the Australian “gαy marriage” referendum was no great surprise. They ran the campaign, textbook, from Ireland, as expected. And “Yes” won as could have been expected. It took cast iron stupidity to run the “No” campaign from the same textbook.
He is correct.

The enemy agenda is well advanced though all is not lost.

Thank you, John Grace.

Is Tyrone County AOH novus ordo?
I can't post on their face book page and they don't reply to private messages.
Just caught the USA national LAOH praising Mary Robinson on face book page. They took it down. But it still reaks of feminism and pro sodomy.
Most Irish Catholics AOH in America voted for Hillary and Obama and are democrats. USA Democrats support Irish Sinn Fein.

I'm having trouble with face book with posting pro life. Trad Cat stuff. They keep sending me message that they are working against foreign interference.
I also receive a threat from them. They condone the article of teen magazine which had how to perversion for little girls.

It's the Russians again! Faceberg is doing what you would expect a subversive social media site to do. It is no surprise.

What is the 8th Amendment of your Constitution?
.
The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.

They are Novus Ordo though recently were involved in an event with the SSPX. I can't recall them making any comment regarding the Resistance. Their members are active in pro-life activity and rosary crusades. AOH activity is mainly in the North of Ireland with the Tyrone AOH the most active.

In the early days and certainly in the 1990s the Traddies were influential in the pro-life lobby here in Ireland. The new people on the scene are from the groups like Youth 2000 and Medjugorje prayer groups. The Trads are on the margins whilst the JPII generation are influential. As Bishop Williamson did say the 1950s are gone. The consecration the topic of the thread and the rosary crusade is getting a good response though.

An interesting post via social media from a pro-lifer. 'Repeal the 8th' is the abortion campaign group. Abortion campaigners are more divided than people realise but when Catholics became serious about a movement here in Ireland it was decades too late. There is a collapse of the faith and even parts of Ireland are gone because of mass immigration. The National party held their first party conference recently. A political vehicle and a solid Catholic resistance will win back Ireland. Most pro life groups have conceded there will be a referendum on abortion. Certainly interesting times ahead.
The big problem on the Irish pro-life side is a lack of unity. You have a whole bunch of groups who can't even agree a common slogan/hashtag never mind a common strategy. Meanwhile, repealthe8th is united & they stand up for one another. This could ultimately be why they prevail.

Yesterday abortion campaigners posed beside a statue of Our Lady and mocked Our Lady. A few pro life folk on Twitter laughed it off but here are a few snippets.
'Another ridiculous, immature stunt that’s going to work against the repeal side'
.'The trouble is it won’t!
Pulling down posters(https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f507.png)
Abusing women, children & other vulnerable ppl at prolife rally(https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f507.png)

'Silence now but it may make people think differently when the time comes to vote. The ones on the fence might just come down on our side.'
.'There’s nobody on the fence!
They’re under their beds!
Frightened of repeal tactics!
They’re2afraid 2stand up4the unborn because they know that the majority of mainstream prolife orgs are too PC(spineless)&this includes the largest pro-life org in the country the Catholic Churc'
'Indeed. Even this evening there was a hesitance here on Twitter to address this anti Catholic tweet. A few pro lifers merely laughed it off. Childish not being classy etc etc.'
''Don’t get me wrong, this is not a Christian account nor is it Christian bashing account for that matter... but where are your guys???
Imagine compromising your faith for fear of offending others??'

'Repeal' is the pro abortion campaign. The snippets I shared are from pro-life folk on Twitter. Our own little Counter Culture shared this
''Indeed. Even this evening there was a hesitance here on Twitter to address this anti Catholic tweet. A few pro lifers merely laughed it off. Childish not being classy etc etc'

I took some flak from fellow pro-lifers for sharing this. See below A small business owner asked me to share. He has this displayed in his shop.
'100% respect but we'll lose the referendum if we frame it in terms of religion.'
'You need to know your audience. Religion has its place. So okay to share in a prayer group etc, not so much on the door steps
'Agreed, this referendum along with the already passed SSM is a rebellion vote against the Catholic Church for its failures in Irish society. ProLife need to keep religion out of the centre of this debate going forward. Pray in private that this approach will work if you must.'
I replied to them
'Most pro life groups here in Ireland are secular but religious people have every right to campaign and help save the 8th. Public prayer and door to door included.'
