EXAMPLES OF VICTORIES OF THE HOLY ROSARY: HIROSHIMA

Our Lady pleaded and insisted that people say the daily Rosary. Reparation holds back the hand of God from striking the world in just punishment for its many crimes. The Rosary is like a sword or weapon the Mother of God can use to cut down heresy and the forces of evil. It is most powerful, and many times has saved the world from bad situations like the one facing us today.

HIROSHIMA 1945

The Rectory of the Assumption of Our Lady Church in Hiroshima was left standing on August 6, 1945, after the atomic bomb killed 200,000 people in the city. The church next door to the rectory was completely demolished by the atomic blast. There was nothing left standing on the street outside. There was, in fact, no street outside. All that, too, was completely destroyed. 

Only the rectory stood amidst the surrounding rubble and the four Catholic priests inside survived the atomic blast. It was because they were praying the Rosary and living the Message of Our Lady of Fatima that they were saved from certain death. Indeed, Our Lady and Her Rosary are more powerful than even the atomic bomb.
