[quote:Angel Eyes 1193433:MV8xODU4NTI0XzMxMjYyMTE3X0FGOUVDODM=] "The Rosary Defeat a Philippino Dictatorship in 1986 Maria Corazon “Cory” Aquino. Interesting note: “Corazon” translated means “heart” The citizens of the Philippines were poor and starving while President Marcos and his wife Imelda lived in lavish luxury. To this day people make jokes about Imelda Marcos’s shoes because she had 3000 pairs, along with 15 mink coats, 1000 purses, and 508 fancy gowns. The people wanted to elect a new president, Benigno Aquino, nicknamed Ninoy. He was assassinated right in front of his wife and family as he stepped off a plane to run for office in Manila. After this brutal murder, Ninoy’s wife Corazon “Cory” Aquino became active in protests against the Marcos regime. The people clamored for Cory to run for President, and when they presented her with one million signatures urging her to do so, she fulfilled the people’s wishes. Marcos called a snap election day on February 7, 1986 which turned out to be a bloody, violent, and fraud-filled event. President Marcos, declared the winner by his corrupt government, took control of the media and sent out the military to quell any protests. Cardinal Sin of the Archdiocese of Manila urged a peaceful protest and the Catholic people came out in droves. They surrounded the military tanks and armed soldiers, prayed the rosary, and sang religious and protest songs. Holy Masses and prayer vigils took place in churches. This prayerful protest continued for almost a week when unexpectedly, the soldiers stepped away from their tanks, put down their guns, and joined the peaceful crowd. President Marcos fled the country on February 26, 1986 and the whole nation took to the streets in celebration. Prayers of thanksgiving and holy masses were held in gratitude to God. As the new President, Cory Aquino made sweeping changes and the Philippines became a free and democratic country. To this day people are in awe that the evil, corrupt regime of Marcos was completely overturned through peaceful means. Pray the rosary unceasingly for a moral government, leaders with integrity, and an end to evil regimes!" http://luisapiccarreta.co/?page_id=4581 [/quote]

What I am proposing is that we collectively join our thoughts/will together to try and make a difference in this world.
What I would like for us to do together is combine our willpower toward one goal at 6:00 PM this evening.
So at 6:00 PM Eastern time (12 hours and 30 minutes from now), we all pray/wish/hope for the masses that are still asleep to awaken to the reality that we see so plainly.
I would like for us to project and hold this thought for 2 minutes. I don't have any idea if this will do any good, but what do we have to lose. Plus wouldn't it be great to join together as one in something.
I thank you for your time and commitment in this endeavor.
peace to you and yours...
