If I were building Catholic communities
I would move to one of these pro-life states right away and start there. From http://townhall.com/tipsheet/christinerousselle/2014/01/14/louisiana-named-most-prolife-state-washington-the-least-n1778896?utm_source=thdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm
The Litany of Loreto Rosary Introduction
Amazingly, the manuscript was found. I shall transcribe it here. I dedicate this text to Paul, Paul, John, Richard, TX, Sally, and ET, who was not even thought of when I wrote this, but a flame of light to find in the Plan of God.
The Litany of Loreto Rosary: Scriptural Meditations on the Rosary based on the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, written by Supertradmum
Each decade is divided into three meditations, which are a prayer, a scripture reading and the specific name of the Blessed Virgin Mary.These meditations are interpreted in light of the mystery of that decade. The names of the Blessed Virgin Mary are presented in the order of the Litany of Loreto. For example, the First Joyful Mystery is divided as follows: prayer, scripture, "Holy Mary" name, prayer, scripture, "Mother of God", prayer, scripture, "Virgin of Virgins" and so on. Thus, every decade contains four prayers, three scripture passages and three names honoring the Virgin. One is encouraged to think of the names of Mary at leisure, allowing insight to come through the meditations from the Holy Spirit.
The Litany of the Blessed Virgin is one of the oldest and most loved prayers to the Blessed Mother. Said in the context of the Mysteries of the Rosary, this litany honors the Mother of God and informs the one who is praying of his relationship with the Son of God and the Mother of God.
This is all my own work using some of the saints as mentioned. My main sources are St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Ronald Knox's "Esther as a Type for Our Lady", C. C. Martindale's "The Litany of Our Lady" and "The Mary Book", Simone Weil, a medieval poem and the Bible. As the text is 31 pages long, I am dividing it up into the three traditional mysteries in sections.
If anyone would like to help me get this published, I would be greatly appreciative. I do not have a date on this manuscript found today, but it was written between 1979-1984.
The Rosary Meditations open with the Litany of Loreto.

A Rosary of Loreto
Years ago, many, many, I wrote a meditative rosary based on the Litany of Loreto. I had lost it, as it was before PCs and had written in long-hand. My mom told me today that she has it in the attic, which is chock-a-clock like Aladdin's cave. I am thrilled to possibly get it back. If I do, I shall tidy it up and post it.

What to watch today
You all better watch Michael Voris today, January 14th. I cannot copy it yet. A zinger!

| PROFESSION OF FAITH and THE OATH OF FIDELITY ON ASSUMING AN OFFICE TO BE EXERCISED IN THE NAME OF THE CHURCH |
| Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith |
As conforming to Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter Motu ProprioAd Tuendam Fidem, this Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelitysupercedes the Profession and Oath of 1989. I. PROFESSION OF FAITH I, N., with firm faith believe and profess everything that is contained in the Symbol of faith: namely: I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, one in Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. With firm faith, I also believe everything contained in the Word of God, whether written or handed down in Tradition, which the Church, either by a solemn judgement or by the ordinary and universal Magisterium, sets forth to be believed as divinely revealed. I also firmly accept and hold each and everything definitively proposed by the Church regarding teaching on faith and morals. Moreover, I adhere with religious submission of will and intellect to the teachings which either the Roman pontiff or the College of Bishops enunciate when they exercise their authentic Magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim these teachings by a definitive act. II. OATH OF FIDELITY ON ASSUMING AN OFFICE TO BE EXERCISED IN THE NAME OF THE CHURCH (Formula to be used by the Christian faithful mentioned in Canon 833, nn. 5-8) I, N., in assuming the office of __________, promise that in my words and in my actions I shall always preserve communion with the Catholic Church.
With great care and fidelity I shall carry out the duties incumbent on me toward the Church, both universal and particular, in which, according to the provisions of the law, I have been called to exercise my service.
In fulfilling the charge entrusted to me in the name of the Church, I shall hold fast to the deposit of faith in its entirety; I shall faithfully hand it on and explain it, and I shall avoid any teachings contrary to it.
I shall follow and foster the common discipline of the entire Church and I shall maintain the observance of all ecclesiastical laws, especially those contained in the Code of Canon Law.
With Christian obedience I shall follow what the Bishops, as authentic doctors and teachers of the faith, declare, or what they, as those who govern the Church, establish.
I shall also faithfully assist the diocesan Bishops, so that the apostolic activity, exercised in the name and by mandate of the Church, may be carried out in communion with the Church.
So help me God, and God's Holy Gospels on which I place my hand.
(Variations in the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the formulary, for use by those members of the Christian faithful indicated in can. 833, n. 8).
I shall foster the common discipline of the entire Church and I shall insist on the observance of all ecclesiastical laws, especially those contained in the Code of Canon Law.
With Christian obedience I shall follow what the Bishops, as authentic doctors and teachers of the faith, declare, or what they, as those who govern the Church, establish. I shall also — with due regard for the character and purpose of my institute — faithfully assist the diocesan Bishops, so that the apostolic activity, exercised in the name and by mandate of the Church, may be carried out in communion with the Church.
NOTE: Canon 833, Nos. 5-8 obliges the following to make the profession of faith: vicars general, episcopal vicars and judicial vicars; "at the beginning of their term of office, pastors, the rector of a seminary and the professors of theology and philosophy in seminaries; those to be promoted to the diaconate"; "the rectors of an ecclesiastical or Catholic university at the beginning of the rector's term of office"; and, "at the beginning of their term of office, teachers in any universities whatsoever who teach disciplines which deal with faith or morals"; and "superiors in clerical religious institutes and societies of apostolic life in accord with the norm of the constitutions." |
