October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary. From the Latin rosarium, rosary means "garland of roses." With every prayer, we hand the Blessed Mother another fragrant blossom. "Of all the prayers, the rosary is the most beautiful and the richest in graces...the one most pleasing to Mary." (Pope St. Pius X). More here.
Heavenly Father, we ardently pray for a new wave of devotion to the rosary, that many may be drawn closer to you through meditating on the mysteries. Amen.

All Day Eucharistic Election Prayer Vigil
NEW DATE: November 8th • 9:00 am - 11:00 pm
Sign up for a ONE HOUR time slot HERE or call 410-461-5066
On election day, come pray and fast before the Blessed Sacrament, and be sure to vote! Certainly we at Our Lady’s Center are far from alone in our deep concern for the future of our beloved nation, especially for the ability of all to continue to enjoy the religious freedom guaranteed by our Constitution and to live free from the persecution of coercive governmental policy which seeks to force citizens to go against their consciences. In light of the gravity of the upcoming election, please help us cover the day in prayer and fasting. Let us pray for a fair election, for a just and moral outcome, that God will give us the leaders we need, and that all things will work together for good for those who seek His purpose. Consider how Jesus could work no miracles in his own home town and that he was astonished at their lack of faith. Let us not allow that to happen in our own homeland. Jesus wants to work miracles for us, and we must believe so that he can. Remember also that, throughout the Bible, God raised up leaders who were not perfect but through whom God’s perfect plan was accomplished, as long as His people humbled themselves and sought His will. So, although your ideal candidate may not be in the running, it is still our civic and moral duty to vote for the viable candidate that most closely supports a culture of life. It is not choosing the lesser of two evils but allowing God the opportunity to work through a leader who recognizes and supports our inalienable rights, especially the right to life.

OLC Welcomes David Bereit of 40 Days for Life
|
|
|
|
|
Our Lady's Center was excited to welcome David Bereit, the high-energy dynamo who founded the 40 Days for Life movement in 2007. His vision has grown to cover the entire country and much of the world in prayer, fasting, vigil and outreach. The numbers are phenomenal: 4,168 total campaigns, 636 cities, 36 countries, 700,000 individual participants, 18,500 churches, 11,796 lives saved from abortion, 133 abortion workers quit, and 73 abortion facilities closed! David's fascinating talk revealed how it all began, from quitting his full-time job and stepping out in faith to the actual and mystical cleansing of an abortion facility and its subsequent conversion into a place of peace, healing, and hope. We are so excited that we were able to host David just before the launch of the Fall 40 Days for Life Campaign. If you haven't already done so, sign up HERE. Lives are being saved.
Manager Christine's daughters, who just co-foundered LifeCulture Apparel pro-life clothing with their two brothers, attended the talk. They were excited just to meet David Bereit in person and were surprised and honored to be asked by him to speak to those present about their own mission. LifeCulture Apparel uses hand-drawn, upbeat, beautiful designs to "spark conversations and change hearts," and they donate a portion of their earnings to a pro-adoption group. David Bereit had actually already seen their launch video, which had been shared with him by OLC patron Ann Boland!

Product Spotlight:
Our St. Teresa of
Calcutta Apron
Sandra Escobar, one of our wonderful regular patrons, stopped by to model an apron she recently bought from OLC. The St. Teresa of Calcutta apron features the beautiful quote, "If you can't feed a hundred people, feed just one."
We have a beautiful selection of St. Teresa items still available, as well as a variety of aprons with various Catholic quotes printed on them. And remember to send us a photo of what you have done with your purchases from Our Lady's Center, such as an out door shrine with one of our statues, a home altar with a plaque or standing crucifix, or even cuisine made from the Vatican cookbook (hint, hint Leo!) We love to feature them in our newsletter!
