OCTOBER 8TH, 2010:
12TH Anniversary of the Day the Pope Changed our History!
Just I thought I would share,
"Twelve years ago, on October 8th of 2000, our tireless former Pope John Paul II celebrated the ***Jubilee for the Bishops ***of the world.
On Saturday Oct 7th, (Feast of the Holy Rosary) he had surprised them by presenting before them the famous Image of Our Lady from the Shrine of Fatima which he had ordered brought out of Portugal one last time, for this important celebration.
More than **1500 bishops **from all over the world prayed the Rosary before such a special image. (The only other time that the sacred image had been allowed out of Portugal, had been for the Consecration Act of 1984.)
This time there would be no doubt regarding the participation of the bishops of the world. Each bishop received a copy of the *Act of Entrustment *in his own language. All 1500 bishops present read it along with the Pope. Together they prayed in the Pope‘s words:
“O Mother …Today we wish to entrust to you the future that awaits us, and we ask you to be with us on our way. We are the men and women of an extraordinary time, exhilarating yet full of contradictions. Humanity now has instruments of unprecedented power: we can turn this world into a garden, or reduce it to a pile of rubble…. Today as never before in the past, humanity stands at a crossroads. And once again, O Virgin Most Holy, salvation lies fully and uniquely in Jesus, your Son.”
Did the world realize what took place that day? This time there could be no misgivings! An official collegial act had been done. All the Catholic bishops of the world had been convoked to be there. All those present had joined the Holy Father. The Third Millennium has been officially entrusted to the Woman of the Apocalypse. Now the *“Battle of the Millennium between the Woman and the ancient serpent” *could begin.

Thank you, John Paul II!
