Intestinal Blockage And Hiatal Hernia

was the dawn of October 7, 1571. The Gulf of Lepanto was preparing to attend one of the largest naval battle in history, perhaps the greatest considering the enormous stakes. On the one hand the terrible Ottoman Empire, led by the experienced leader Kapudan Pasha, the other the Holy League, composed mainly of Italians (the Papal States, Venice, Malta, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany) and the English Empire, entrusted to guide Don John of Austria. The Ottomans were more numerous and under a unified command much more efficient, while the Christian forces had been brought together with difficulty by St. Pius V in the face of common danger. The battle began at noon, on the one hand and the other was deployed the largest army that had never seen the sea. There were, in fact, other naval battles that have taken such a large number of men and ships, leading to a higher number of deaths from both sides and a result as decisive for the history of humanity . The savage fighting ended with a crushing victory of the Christian armies, the battle was decisive not only for the history of the Mediterranean, but was a definitive success against the advance of Islam, which began at the time of the Arabs, was, above all, a crucial success for the Protection of European civilization. The same day, in the late afternoon, as the treasurer of the Holy Father showed him some papers Bussotti, Pius V got up, went to the window and stood looking away, then said: "It is not business time, hurry up and thank the Lord for our fleet has been victorious. " St. Pius V had in fact ordered to say the Rosary in all the churches of Europe and Rome to support the fleet of the Catholic League, calling for the valuable help of the Holy Virgin Mary. In the bubble "Salvatoris Nostris the" define victory as a "powerful and the humble prayer to Mary," and encouraged the recitation of the Rosary, which soon became the popular devotion to excellence. Initially named as "Our Lady of Victory", the memory of October 7th is celebrated today as "Our Lady of the Rosary." The festival reminds us of the power of this simple prayer, the Rosary, defined by popes and theologians as "the gospel of the poor", begged the Christians in the great public danger, collective prayer that saves when human intervention is powerless. Perhaps we need now more than ever, so in times of great crisis for the Church and the world, of course, is over the time of the Crusades, but they are more alive than ever, the dangers to the souls of people, for the Catholic faith and the Church itself, many of whom are hiding inside. We entrust Maria in our lives and the fight against the "forces of darkness" we entrust to you the "good fight", because as St. Maximilian Kolbe, " is the Immaculate, the refuge of sinners, [..] the stamp of the infernal serpent.
