COMPASS OF FAITH

COMPASS OF FAITH

Dear Crusaders,

We would like to extend the opportunity for all Crusaders, to participate in an event which has been titled "Compass of Faith".

The idea was born from past efforts made using the Saint Benedict Medal and the Miraculous Medal, to rid our cities of places such as abortion clinics, porn shops, strip clubs and the like.

Two examples:

In the early 1990's a strip club was allowed to be opened in a section of our city called little Italy.  Although the people of the neighborhood did not care for it and put up a small fuss the club went up anyway and remained up for some 10 years appx.  In 1992 a blessed medal of Saint Benedict was taken to the location of the strip club (around 3 or 4 in the morning when people were asleep) and thrown on the roof asking Saint Benedict to see to bringing down this filth.  Roughly a month later the entire neighborhood [where this place was located] became very agitated that this place existed in their area.  They formed a group within themselves, put their money together, and hired an attorney.  They took the strip club to court to have it closed and won.  The owner was forced to close his "shop" and as time went on he ran into one legal trouble after another.  He tried to open the same type of club in another location but kept running into legal snags which prevented him.  Eventually , and I don't recall the details, but he was barred from ever being allowed a license to open such a place again in the whole state itself. 

Another instance of Saint Benedict and the Miraculous Medal at work was when an abortion clinic opened its doors in our city.  This was UNACCEPTABLE!  The blood of innocent souls being slaughtered in our town could not go on.  The Saint Benedict Medal and the Miraculous Medal were brought to the abortion murder mill and in the North, South, East and West sections of the building the medals were buried in the ground.  Once again the Holy Virgin and the powerful Saint Benedict answered and answered in such a way that not only was the abortion doctor barred from performing abortions due to technicalities and permit issues, but in the end he went to jail and had his license permanently revoked from ever performing abortions again.  The abortion murder site was closed roughly one year after it opened and thankfully due to all the complications of permits and technicalities a very few number of babies were killed.  It would have been our hope that no babies were murdered but the place was closed down quickly and never reopened.

More recently our hometown has become plagued with gunfire and murders which have increased from an annual average of 5 to 10 murders a year to (July-mid-year) 79 murders this year so far alone.

The thought occurred to us, to do for our city what was done with the abortion clinic, strip club etc.  To bury in the ground at the North, South, East and West points of the city the Miraculous Medal (for conversions) and the Saint Benedict Medal (to drive out evil and as St. Benedict has done in the past, to keep it from entering back in).

While considering this it also occurred to us that this is not limited to our city alone but could be done by all Crusaders who wished to do so as well for their own city or town.

We will be purchasing a large quantity of Saint Benedict Medals and Miraculous Medals which the Benedictine Fathers have so graciously agreed to bless.  Attaching a special blessing to the Saint Benedict Medals specifically.

We will be purchasing these medals from donations which have been made to the Crusaders so NO DONATION is asked nor will be accepted if you wish to receive these medals for this intention.

If you are interested you can email me with your address and the medals will be sent out to you as soon as we get them back from the Fathers.  If you have any questions such as how to figure out the perimeters of your town or city or any other questions I will give you my phone number or if it is international I can call you if you are unable and the details can be worked out that way.  I can not answer questions via email as it is simply to time consuming but I will answer via phone.

Hi Kate,

Your address must have gotten lost in the shuffle or maybe I never had it, I'm not sure.  Can you send it to me ?

[Kate Jackson]

Hi Dawn Marie,

Could you give me the address of the monastery perhaps I could paypal them the costs. Our St Benedict medals have not come through yet so I am assuming that they have got lost in the postage.  We are moving from this town in the next 6-8 weeks and I would like to plant these medals soon. Thanks.

[Kate Jackson]

Thank you Dawn. It must be a worthwhile cause if Old Nick is putting so many obstacle in your path... God bless the benedictines.

I've been sweating bullets ever since I found out [from Fr. Fattore] that, according to him, it is not a good idea to send anything to Brazil/Argentina, because he says the customs people are very corrupt and steal anything and everything that comes through.  True, I can't imagine what they would want with St. Benedict medals but ya never know.

I've been asking the Father's and Brothers often if they have received them and FINALLY! they answered yesterday that they had......phew, breathing a sigh of relief.

They are blessing them and sending them back [I assume this week] Deo Gratias.

If I would have known it would take this long I would have done all this first and then coordinated the event after.

Sorry for the delay, but we should have them back soon.

[Dawn Marie]

Most definitely Frankie. I just need an address where to send them.

[Frankie Houston]

Dawn Marie, if you have any medals left over then please send me some so I can protect a little bit of Ireland here in my home town of Derry. 

God Bless

There is one of those Muslim compounds just east of where we are.  It's name is Islamburg.  The authorities do NOTHING about them.  We have a neighbor who is the county engineer in that area.  She's been shot at when they were out just inspecting watersheds, etc near that area. 

I have St. Benedict medals hanging above every window in our house, and a crucifix with the medal above our front door.  During some bad storms, I try to remember to say a prayer to our holy Father Benedict for help.  The situation with the Muslims almost makes me want to put them around the edges of our property as protection.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Holy Father St. Benedict, pray for us all.

And yet another...

Islamic State vows to ‘break the American Cross’

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Islamic State, the Sunni militant group which seeks to establish a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, released a video on Tuesday that gave the strongest indication yet it might attempt to strike American targets.

The video with the theme “breaking of the American cross” boasts Islamic State will emerge victorious over “crusader” America. It follows a video posted on Monday warning of attacks on American targets if Washington struck against its fighters in Iraq and Syria. The latest footage speaks of a holy war between the al-Qaeda offshoot and the United States, which occupied Iraq for nearly a dacade and faced stiff resistance from al Qaeda. Islamic State’s sweep through northern Iraq, bringing it close to Baghdad and in control of the second city, Mosul, drew U.S. airstrikes on the country for the first time since the end of the American occupation in 2011.

Another good reason this Compass of Faith is so necessary.  I don't have the link to the original article but I've copied an excerpt from it anyway.

Obama Administration turns Blind Eye to Muslim Foreign Militia in Pennsylvania

Christian militias have been raided in Michigan and Ohio, their members rounded up and tossed in prison and their caches of weapons confiscated.
But a well-armed Muslim militia – comprised not of American citizens but foreign militants – operates under the noses of federal and state law enforcement officials.
If you don't it, pay a visit to Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the Pocono Mountains.

“These guys use fully automatic weapons – AK-47s – for target practice,” one local businessman says.
“We called the FBI but nothing has been done to stop them.”
The Muslims have been here for years,” another resident says. “They’ve been engaged in training for guerilla warfare.”
The Muslims in question are Turks who occupy a 45-acre compound that is owned and operated by Fethullah Gulen.

Entrance to the compound is forbidden to outsiders.
Sentries remain on duty – day and night – at a hut before the wide metal gate. Within the hut are high definition televisions that project images from security cameras.
Residents complain of a low flying helicopter that circles their community in search of any unwanted intruders to the property.
At the heart of the compound is a massive chalet that serves as Gulen’s residence.

Gulen has been identified as one of the world’s richest and most powerful Muslims –and also as the most dangerous.
From his base in Pennsylvania, he has been responsible for the replacement of the secular government in Turkey with an Islamic regime.
With assets in excess of $30 billion, he has wielded political allegiances in Washington that have resulted in the placement of Turkish Muslims in the CIA, NSA, FBI, and other national security organizations.
He has created well-heeled lobbies to promote the cause of Islam and to develop Islamic candidates for political office.

He has formed close friendships with Bill and Hillary Clinton, former Secretaries of State James Baker and Madeleine Albright, and George W. Bush.
He has also established over 90 Islamic schools (madrassahs) throughout the United States, where studentsare indoctrinated in the tenets of political Islam. These charter schools are funded by American taxpayers.

One school – Tarek ibn Zayed Academy (TiZA) in Minnesota – has been so radically Islamic and subversive in nature that the Minnesota Department of Education issued two citations against it and the American Civil Liberties Union is suing it.
The purpose of every Gulen school, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, is train Muslim students to become lawyers, accountants, and political leaders so that they can take an active part in the restoration of the Ottoman Empire and the Islamization of the Western World.
