What if faithful Catholic women from around the world joined together to push back against the current darkness?
What if through praying and fasting this faithful army can reclaim the territory the enemy has gained in families?
The time has come for us to join together. We are powerful when we fight as one.
The formula is simple and the busyness of your life need not be an obstacle.
Each warrior does three simple things.
Pray
To unite with women around the world, say this short prayer by yourself (or with your family) on Friday mornings. Before the prayer, list your own specific intentions.
Fast
Fast or offer some sacrifice in accord with your state in life on Fridays in reparation to the Sacred Heart and for your intentions and those listed in the prayer.

Give Our Lord your complete yes to your own sanctification. After all, the most important way for us to engage in the spiritual battle is through our own repentance, healing, and union with Our Lord. The more our wills are united to His, the more we know how to battle alongside Him.
Through prayer, fasting, and allowing the Lord to purify our hearts, we are intentionally pushing back the darkness that seeks to destroy. We are warriors!
Are you called to join us?
The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about marriage and the family. Don't be afraid because whoever works for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be fought against and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue. Nevertheless, Our Lady has already crushed his head.
Venerable Lucia dos Santos of Fatima, 1981
Prayer
From the depth of my nothingness, I prostrate myself before Thee, O Most Sacred, Divine and Adorable Heart of Jesus, to pay Thee all the homage of love, praise and adoration in my power (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque).
On this day and in your Holy Name, Lord Jesus Christ, I offer You my fast in reparation for the sins committed against your most Sacred Heart, for the intentions of my family, the intentions of all those joining this fast with me, and for the protection and defense of all families from the works of the enemy. Please heal and bless us all so that we may imitate the Holy Family through the bonds of every virtue, especially that of charity, and so that we may accomplish the purpose for which we were created. We ask all of this through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your most Blessed Mother, and in union with Your most Sacred Heart.
Amen.
The prayer we say includes a direct quote from St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and was influenced by the collect (opening prayer) on the Feast of the Holy Family. It's a wonderful way to join together with other women without being pulled from your family.
