Prayer on the Square One Year Anniversary

A group of us have been praying the Holy Rosary every week on the Square in Downtown Tyler. We gather as Mary’s Army to fight evil and seek the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart! We pray the rosary for our county, community, and Church. We pray for all souls to know the true love of our Savior Jesus Christ!

To document this year in history and our dedication to prayer,
our dear friend Sheryl has created this video. Enjoy the show!

What Time Is It?

Something we all need to consider. Especially with Thanksgiving this week and Lent starting on Sunday. May our eyes be lifted up to Jesus who holds us in His Sacred Heart. And, may we take Our Mother’s hand and ask her to make our hearts like hers. Blessed Mother, help us to trust in your direction and lead us back to your Son during these dark days.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of…

Our Father…Hail Mary…Glory be to the Father…

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

II. O my Jesus, you have said: “Truly I say to you,
if you ask any thing of the Father in my name, He will give it to you.”
Behold, in your name, I ask the Father for the grace of…

(Mention your intention here)

Our Father…Hail Mary…Glory be to the Father…

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

Encouraged by your infallible words I now ask for the grace of…

 (Mention your intention here)

Our Father…Hail Mary…Glory be to the Father…

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted,
have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you,
through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender mother and ours.

  • I PRAY for Bishop Strickland to receive all the graces needed to carry out the mission given to him by God the Almighty Father.
  • I PRAY for Bishop Strickland to be led by the Holy Spirit in all his daily actions carried out with Divine Wisdom as he guides his flock to eternal happiness in heaven.
  • I PRAY for Bishop Strickland to be continually protected by the intercession of Immaculate the Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus as he defends the True Catholic Faith and the Sanctity of Life.
  • I PRAY also for State Senator Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, who authored the Texas Heartbeat Law which was recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Bless and protect him, his family and his good work for the sanctity of life and for the sovereignty of the states.
  • I PRAY also for the increase, within our Diocese, of priestly vocations and for all seminarians and religious.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy On Us!
