Dear One's- Please go to  "Army of Prayer and Rosary"  you will find it under my favorites
embraceholycross.com . I was inspired by Our Lord to write it for God's People who love him.
This Army for God began March 1, 1994 note: the month of Blessed Mary's Annunciation (When Angel Gabriel announced the Birth of Christ in Blessed Mary's womb) She said Yes, to Our Lord, and at that moment she placed All her Trust in God, and began to lead His Army.

May We As A People In Union With Jesus, Our Lord, Help lead God's Army in all we do.
We can do this in our every day living. Through the Power of the Most Holy Rosary ( it is scripture in reflecting on the Mysteries of Jesus !  We can help build God's Army, in Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet,  Saying the Divine Mercy Prayer and Prayer to the Heavenly Court. We can help build up God's Army in song of praise, Studying Holy Scripture, Doing the Embrace the Cross prayer method , going to Mass or Church Service, Listening to Christian music!  Many things can help us stay STRONG IN HIS ARMY !!  May we remember always Together We Are In Union in Prayer to Jesus Our Savior, Whom We All Love and Adore.  Keep Building God's Army !!  May Our Lord Bless You and Keep You All the Days of Your Life. HELP TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS ARMY FOR GOD.

note: For many in this Army for God ; kissing a cross, crucifix or Picture of Jesus may be your only prayer. Maybe you only have the strength to make one cross on your body, however as time goes in the strength of God , you may find yourself making the five crosses onto your forehead, or chest or the traditional way.  Remember always in Embrace the Cross, we are joining our Hearts to Christ Sacred heart, and reflecting on His Sorrowful mysteries, and His five wounds (crowning of thorns, nailing of hands, feet, and piercing of His Side. ) 
note: you can find the five sorrowful mysteries on the link under my favorites- embraceholycross.com - go to link :PRAYERS- click on The Twenty Mysteries. note: you can view the provided links on the upper left side, you will find prayers , but you will need to use a computer or laptop.
