🕊️ Join Us in Prayer: Novena to Our Lady of Victory 🕊️

September 29 – October 7
"Ask for a sign from the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as the sky!” — Isaiah 7:11
This prophecy is fulfilled in the birth of Christ through our Blessed Mother’s yes—Our Lady of Victory, Our Lady of the Rosary. As we approach her feast on October 7, we invite you to join us in nine days of prayer, fasting, and spiritual warfare.
Each day, we will pray the Novena to Our Lady of Victory, asking her intercession for our families, our Church, and our world. To deepen our intentions, we encourage you to:

Add a fast
—uniting body and soul in your petitions.

Pray the Flame of Love Hail Mary
, a powerful weapon against darkness:

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners,
Spread the effect of grace of your Flame of Love over all of humanity,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.


This special version of the Hail Mary comes from the Flame of Love Movement and includes the petition to blind Satan, bringing light into the darkest places.
Let us ask boldly for signs from the Lord—as deep as Sheol, or high as the sky—and trust that, by divinity working through Mary, Victory is already won.

Please join us as we support the Kids Online Safety Act (S.1748), the most comprehensive child protection legislation in nearly 25 years by joining NCOSE on this sign on letter of support addressed to Congress

>>> SIGN ON HERE <<<


KOSA  compels platforms to test products for safety before they are launched by establishing a clear  “duty of care” to protect children, disables harmful algorithms for minors, strengthens safeguards for kids’ accounts, and requires transparency of platforms’ data. This is common-sense reform to ensure children’s safety is not sacrificed for profit.

We need as much support as we can to help #passKOSA and every signature is a step closer to protecting children online.
