Monday Morning Rosary Group
Rosary groups reads about near-death experience that led to conversion
The Monday Morning Rosary Group is reading the book “Struck by Lightning: Death, Judgement and Conversion” by Gloria Polo.
In her book, Gloria Polo describes how Jesus says to those undergoing their particular judgement after passing from this earth that He is their Lord. This happens independent of one's religion. She stated that when a soul asks for pardon and accepts the Lord, "Jesus immediately brings the soul to where the Mass is being celebrated at that moment, and the person receives Viaticum..." This confirms that only those who receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ can enter heaven. We must pray for our priests since, as the Lord told Gloria, "I put them here as gifts." We rely on them to bring us Christ's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Viaticum, as we understand it, is the reception of the Eucharist upon one's deathbed. The word's roots come from an ancient Mediterranean custom of sharing a meal and gathering items needed for a long trip. The Latin word “viaticum” indicates spiritual food for journey into eternity.
We invite you to join the Monday Morning Rosary Group for Mass, Holy Rosary, discussion, prayer and fellowship each Monday morning. We gather for 8:30 am Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe-Helotes and then meet at Cor Unum in Patre Shrine at Mount Schoenstatt to pray the Schoenstatt Rosary. Afterward, everyone gathers in Kentenich Hall to share a light breakfast and engage in fellowship and a discussion led by John Debner.
In the words of Padre Pio, “The Rosary is the weapon for these times.” Pray as many as you can!
