COMMANDER CROSS ROSARY
We Do NOT Abandon Our Mother Church
- important call to All men -
Pray the Rosary!
The 40-day St. Martin Fast commenced after the Feast days of the St. Martin of Tours (Nov. 11) and Pope St. Martin I. (Nov. 12) and we hope you have found a good discipline.
How you decided to do your fasting is up to you. There are different approaches depending on your ability and level. Some wants to be "hard core" and some have never done it.
We believe we have come up with a good level to introduce you of how we do it. This is our way that we like, it is a learning experience and what we have learnt during these three attempts, (2023 is our fourth go).
One important aspect and discussion is for us the virtue: Moderation.
We have come to realize that this virtue is fighting many of the deadly sins during the 40-days fasting. It becomes Moderation vs Excessive (excessive eating, drinking, shopping, or laziness).
The 40-day St. Martin Fast is between November 13 until December 22 and it leads up to the Ember days in December and finishes on the Feast Day of St. Frances Xavier.
The Ember days becomes a wonderful finish of the 40-days fasting as it leads up to vigil of the Nativitiy of Our Lord on Dec. 24.
The Advent season is soon here. Pray the Rosary!
“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
We do NOT leave our Mother!
The Cross is the way to our Salvation.
Our Step-by-Step Rosary community partner Pray-Rosary.church offer Step-by-Step Rosary prayers in other languages than just English, such as:
French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainan.
Many versions are under online-construction and some are on purpose a lower level website, as we are finishing our Rosary booklets. And, as the booklets are in the final touch structure, we have not yet done all corrections that are necessary on our websites.
The Japanese and Portoguese versions are under local review and not even posted.
It has been an interesting October and November 2023 as the so called synod on synodality finished.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider wrote a new prayer for the Synod on Synodality and He encouraged us all to join together and pray.
Cardinal Müller, who participated in the Synod of Bishops, which included lay-people, considers the church to be in a "hostile take-over" situation, and, he ought to know what he is talking about as he was the Cardinal-Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) between 2012 - 2017.
Bishop Joseph Strickland was relieved from his duties shortly after the synod.
The family that prays together, stays together.
Our signature "Step-by-Step Rosary" encompasses the traditional 15 mysteries, accompanied by historical Christian artworks depicting each scriptural scene. Religious art, language, and music are powerful tools in the battle against evil as they forge a connection between ourselves and God and serve as a constant reminder of the goodness in the world.
- Religious art helps us to visualize the stories of our faith and contemplate the mysteries of God.
- Sacred language enables us to connect with the traditions of our faith and engage in profound and meaningful prayer.
- Sacred music, as an integral part of the solemn liturgy, participates in its general purpose, which is the glory of God and the sanctification. It empowers our soul, and offer praise to God.
Gregorian chant, the only chant that the Catholic Church has inherited from the ancient fathers, is considered as the supreme model of sacred music. All are powerful weapons that can help you to overcome darkness.
On top of all the bits and pieces put together in our Rosary, which also has been part of our development was to offer the Rosary in several languages. Once the new structure was in place, it made it way easier to basically add any language into our work. We just remove one box and replace the box with another.
Right now, our Step-by-Step community offers the Rosary in ten languages; English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian.
Not all versions are online, yet, as we have friends in each country who are to assist us adding the local touch to each Rosary.
Commander Cross Rosary launched its first website on September 13, 2019 acting on per request from Cardinal Leo Burke and Bishop Athanasius Schneider concerning prayers before the Amazon synod.
We decided early on in our work with the Step-by-Step Rosary that the sacred language Latin was to be present, regardless if you used it or not.
It is the official church language and people who have become saints, did pray in latin. It is a holy language as it was one of three languages on the Cross. And, we include it for our users who wants to view it, or use it.
Over the years, we have noticed with texts in Latin, that the text remains. The translations may change over the years depending on who did the translation, how a persons translation skills are, what language did the prayer arrive from and also if there was an earlier and rather poor translations.
After the launch in 2019, it was clear that we wanted to have three various structures of our Step-by-Step Rosary.
- We call the first one; Straight to the Point Rosary. It is a shorter but straigh to the point and in english only.
- The second one is called Knights in Obedience Rosary, simply because Bishop Athanasius Schneider in 2019 asking for more knights in the fight. And, we though it is a good name for our signature Step-by-Step Rosary (which is both in english and latin).
- Our third is the Traditional Latin Rosary, with mainly the prayers in latin, but the Mystery is in english.
These three formats will hopefully satisfy users and allow them to grow in their Rosary prayers too.
We are now in a diabolical dissorientation where everything now is an up-side-down structure. We have the advantage that we can seek refuge at the foot of the Cross of our Lord.
There is a thick smoke-screen in place, building a new distorted order, where the the seven deadly sins are in place instead of the seven virtues. The new world order is rather a new world in dis-order.
The attack on the Church, occurs from several angles and in particularly from the enemy of our enemy. Remember that God has a plan and can and most likely will chastice us. But, we have trained for several years now to be the soldier of Christ and to be in the service of our Lady.
The sound of silence or more so, the silence is deafening from the hierarchy and each cardinal, bishop and priest will have to face it when the days come meeting our creator, like all of us will. Bishops need to break the spells keeping them afraid.
Their job is to save souls ... but they risk their own eternity by keeping quiet.
English:
O MARY, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Latin:
O Maria, sine labe concépta, ora pro nobis qui ad Te confúgimus.
or
O Maria sine labe concépta, ora pro nobis, qui confúgimus ad Te.
We have already been in the catacombs for quite some time...
