Sr. Deirdre Byrne: The Battle for Life Best Fought in a State of Grace to ‘More Easily See God’s Will’...

"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Therefore, take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day and to stand in all things perfect." - Ephesians 6:12-3

CONSTANTLY
"My child and My children, pray constantly a vigil of prayer going throughout your world and the earth, for the little time that is being allotted to mankind." - Jesus, August 21, 1985

DAILY
"You must all now keep a constant vigilance of prayer. And when I say constant, My children, it means daily." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978

"Realize the power in your hand with the Rosary, for in your hands you hold the power of God.  If you do not recognize the Rosary, can you expect to be recognized by My Son? How much can you expect? Why do you hide My Rosary? It was with a Mother's loving heart that I chose to give you these pearls of Heaven that you reject.
    "Woe to all dedicated who seek to remove these from the little ones' hands, for their punishment will be metered in accordance to it!
    "Why has sophisticated man cast aside these tokens of My love?  Those who remain true to My Rosary will not be touched by the fires.  Gather these treasures, My children, for the time will come that you will not find them on the counters of your stores." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 6, 1970

LifeSiteNews.com report on January 27, 2023:

by Emily Mangiaracina

A religious sister and former U.S. Army colonel known for her bold pro-life witness is calling on Christians to better discern and fight the battle for life by staying in a state of grace.

Sister Deirdre Byrne, POSC, exhorted listeners at the TFP Washington Bureau on Saturday to follow the example of St. Joan of Arc, who put a high priority on making sure her soldiers “maintained purity, which means being in a state of grace,” she said.

She told how St. Joan would seek out “confession and Holy Communion” for her soldiers and wanted “no girlfriends” for them “in case they were killed in battle, and that sword went in their chest … Joan would feel like her soldiers had gone to our Lord.”

Asked by a British canon lawyer if she was in a state of grace in an attempt to find fault with her, Joan replied, “Lord, if I’m in the state of grace, please keep me there. And Lord, if I’m not in a state of grace, please put me there,” Sr. Deirdre said.

Sister Deirdre underscored the importance of aspiring to this purity of soul “before we help others,” comparing the reasons for this with those airlines use to advise people to put their own oxygen mask on first.

She shared how when she first heard this advice from a flight attendant she thought it was “kind of selfish,” but went on to realize it is “the most important thing you can do,” since “then you can help everybody else because you can breathe.”

“That’s similar to our spiritual life. Also, we have to seek holiness with humility,” she went on.

“By being in the state of grace, we can more easily see God’s will for us as pro-life warriors, for the salvation of all souls. If we’re not in the state of grace. It’s like our lens are smudged, they’re dirty. And that’s where we make a mad dash to confession and ask for absolution from our Lord through persona Christi,” said Sister Deirdre, referring to the priest acting in the Person of Christ.

Sister Deirdre, who is best known for her knockout pro-life speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention, described the issue of abortion as “ground zero,” from which other modern evils flow.

“The destruction of human life in the mother’s womb is Satan’s battleground, it is Satan’s ground zero … which opens the door … to other evils, like a rippling effect of a stone on a very still lake.”

“So what is that rippling? That is transgender ideology, contraception, the destruction of families, fatherless families, euthanasia, the production of so-called vaccines used by innocent children that were aborted,” she said.

She pointed out earlier in her talk that Roe v. Wade has “rip[ped] the lives” not only of the “over 50 million souls” killed through abortion but of “100 million other souls” — the babies’ mothers and fathers, “who made deadly choices, literally deadly choices.”

Despite the overturn of Roe v. Wade, “the fight to save all lives is not over,” Sister Deirdre said, “but rather we have a new chapter. It’s at the state level. It is still a battle to change hearts one soul at a time.”

For example, in her area of D.C., there remain third trimester abortionists who “fly people in” and “actually have fundraisers” to enable people to get third trimester abortions.

“We have a lot of work to do to defend life because we currently have the most pro-abortion president in our history,” she continued.

Sister Deirdre quoted Fr. Ed Meeks, who “put it so beautifully last October”:

“They and their party have declared war on the unborn. And for those who speak or defend the life of the unborn and their mothers, they, the left, are working endlessly to make abortion accessible all the way to the end of the third trimester. What is their motivation?” Meeks said.

He continued, “It is a demonically inspired obsession that sees abortion not only as a necessary evil, but really something desirable, almost [a] demonic sacrament from the left, which, after ending Roe v. Wade, has led to the vandalism of pregnancy centers throughout the United States, even targeting pro-lifers with early morning raids in their homes by the FBI agents.”

Sister Deirdre also pointed out that pro-lifers still need to fight prescriptions of abortion pills, which are now being given through telemedicine.

“This pill can only be given in the first trimester. I don’t know how you can tell that via telemedicine. This is not only dangerous. This is malpractice,” she said.

“This battle we face right now is not between Republicans, Democrats, conservatives or liberals, right or the left. No. This battle is [between] our dear Lord and the evil one, the devil,” she continued.

She advised her listeners, “Make it your daily mission to be in a state of grace so you can hear Christ more clearly and prepare yourself and those near you for our ultimate goal, which is eternity in Heaven.”

“As I always say, I’m not only pro-life, I’m pro-eternal life. I want everyone to be with us, but not everyone is going to go. There is a hell. It’s real. We don’t want that. We want to teach the faith and bring people closer to Christ.”

The Rosary Dealt a Crushing Defeat to the Muslims at the Battle of Lepanto...

The Story of the Battle of Lepanto...

Almost from the very beginning of Islam, there were wars upon wars between Christians and Muslims. We remember the Crusade wars, seven major and several minor, which lasted for centuries. This is the story of the Battle of Lepanto, which marked the end of the Crusades and was a turning point in the history of Christianity.

Charles Martel's victory at Poitiers definitely stopped the Moslem invasion of western Europe. In the east Christians held firm against attacks of the Muslims until 1453. In that year, Mohammed II threw huge assaults against Constantinople and by the evening of May 29 the Byzantine capital fell. By 1571 the Muslims were firmly installed in Europe. Their ships ruled the Mediterranean Sea from the Strait of Bosporus to the Strait of Gibraltar and constantly preyed on Christian vessels unless they flew the French flag.

Pope Pius V, in the last year of his papacy in 1571, tried to rally the nations of Europe to join in a Holy League to stop and roll back the Moslem enemy which threatened the entire continent. Spain, whose King Philip II was also King of Austria, responded favorably. The Muslims were then engaged in the conquest of Cyprus, an island belonging to the Republic of Venice.

Leading Venetian officials would have preferred to have worked out some peaceful-coexistence agreement with the Sultan, but under the crusading influence of Saint Pius V, they decided to join the Holy League along with the republics of Genoa and Lucca and the dukes of Savory, Parma, Ferrara and Urbino.

The Papal fleet was of course part of the Holy Alliance. Pius V asked Philip to appoint Don John of Austria, the 25-year old son of Emperor Charles V, as commander-in-chief of a planned expedition against the Muslims. After receiving the banner of the Holy League from the Pope, through Cardinal Granvalla, Don John's fleet set sail from Genoa for Naples on June 26, 1571.

Few historians mention that just before the departure, Philip II presented Don John with a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe which she had caused to be miraculously imprinted on the cloak of the Indian peasant Juan Diego in Mexico 40 years before. Don John placed the picture in the chapel of the admiral-vessel, the Genoese John Andrew Doria, asking for Mary's protection of his expedition.

On September 16, the Christian fleet put to sea. Don John anchored off of Corfu where he learned that the Muslims had leveled entire towns and villages and then retreated to the coast of Lepanto in the Gulf of Corinth.

At dawn on October 7, at the entrance to the Gulf of Patras, the Christian and Moslem fleets finally came face to face for the battle of Lepanto.

The wind and all military factors favored the Muslims, but Don John was confident. He boarded a fast ship for a final review of his fleet. He shouted encouraging words to the men and they shouted back. After Don John returned to his own position, the wind mysteriously changed to the advantage of the Christian fleet. First-hand witnesses wrote about this moment as a most dramatic turn-of-events resulting from an "unknown factor".

At that very moment, at dawn on October 7, 1571-- as Vatican Archives later revealed--Pope Pius V, accompanied by many faithful, was praying the Rosary in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.  From dawn to dusk the prayers continued in Rome as the Christians and the Muslims battled at Lepanto.  When it was all over the Muslims had been defeated. Of some 270 Moslem ships, at least 200 were destroyed.  The Turks also lost 30,000 men while Christian casualties numbered between 4,000 and 5,000.

The Rosary had won a great military victory. Like all truly great military leaders who hate war and love peace, Don John retired after his victory at Lepanto. He died a few years later at the age of 31. Another who took part in the great battle of Lepanto, Miguel de Cervantes, lived longer to write his famous tribute to Christian chivalry, Don Quixote.

 The Origin of the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary on October 7th...

Following the great Christian victory at Lepanto, Pope St. Pius V declared that henceforth a commemoration of the Rosary would be a part of the Vatican's Mass on every October 7.  His successor, Pope Gregory XIII, went further. In 1573 he established the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary--to be celebrated at all Churches which had specific altars dedicated to the Rosary.

In 1671 Pope Clement X extended observance of the feast to all of Spain.

Only 12 years later in 1683 the Muslims again swept into Europe. With 200,000 men, they laid siege to Vienna. After months of valiant resistance by a small garrison, the city was relieved by an army under John Sobieski, King of Poland. The Rosary, to which the King was dedicated, was again instrumental in a military victory. Pope Innocent XI consecrated September 12 of that year to the Holy Name of Mary. The Moslem hordes were hurled back yet again at Peterwardein in Hungary by Prince Eugene on the Feast of Out Lady of the Snows, August 5, 1716. As a result of this victory, Pope Clement XI extended the Feast of the Rosary to the Universal Church.
