The Month of July is dedicated to the the Precious Blood.
------------------
"... Today is the day of the Supplication to Our Lady of Pompeii. Our Mother Mary always wants to walk with us, to be close to us, to help us with her intercession and her love.
So I would like to pray together with you. Let us pray together for this new mission, for the whole Church, for peace in the world, and let us ask for this special grace from Mary, our Mother.
Hail Mary. . ."
The Supplica to Our Lady of Pompeii can be prayed twice a year (May 8, and the first Sunday in October), and it is often recited at noon - and on May 8, which was the second day of the Conclave, or the first full day. By noon, on May 8, it was black smoke.
Blessed Bartolo Longo (19th C.), who fostered this devotion, was dedicated also to St. Michael the Archangel. For this reason he wanted the Supplica to be said on the Feast of the Apparition of St. Michael which occurred in 490, on Mount Gargano.
The May 8, is the Feast of St. Michael on Mount Gargano.
Pope Leo XIII constructed the St. Michael prayer on September 25, 1888.
Pope Francis requested on Sept 29, 2018, that the Rosary finishes with Sub tuum Praesidum and the St. Michael Archangel prayer.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
“For never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal heretic or be led astray by the devil.
This is a statement that I would gladly sign with my blood.”
Twenty-fifth Rose, St. Louis de Montfort
“The Rosary is the ‘weapon’ for these times.”
St. Padre Pio
“The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon. Use it with confidence and you’ll be amazed at the results.”
St. Josemaria Escriva
"The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son.
Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary.
With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests."
Our Lady of Akita, 1973.
"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."
Our Lady of Akita, 1973.

The Devil celebrates your "victory" but leaves you alone with the consequences. And, these consequences are not good. Evil wants to alinate you from others. The more alone you are, the more darkness is around you, which is why we include all in our Rosary prayer community, even if you are alone while praying, you are not alone.
... through the 9 Ways We Participate in Other People's Sins:
- By Counsel
- By Par-taking
- By Consent
- By Provocation (to instigate others)
- By Praise or Flattery
- By Silence to Conceal the sin
- By not Punish the Sinner
- By Command or appeal/request
- By Defence of the ill done
The modern Catholic Catechesis states in Article 8, Number 5, Point 1868: "The Proliferation of Sin".
"Sin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them:
- by participating directly and voluntarily in them;
- by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;
- by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so;
- by protecting evil-doers."
In the point 1869:
"Thus sin makes men accomplices of one another and causes concupiscence, violence, and injustice to reign among them.
Sins give rise to social situations and institutions that are contrary to the divine goodness.
"Structures of sin" are the expression and effect of personal sins. They lead their victims to do evil in their turn.
In an analogous sense, they constitute a "social sin."
The points 1868 and 1869 are the nine ways of how we participate in others sin, regardless if we understand that we are used by others.
That is also why the nine mentioned ways are of importance to put the foot down and say NO or STOP.
The word consequence is interesting as Merriam-Webster defines it as "a condition or occurrence traceable to a cause".
Are there consequences of your actions?
