Let us charitably remid our fellow Americas what true marriage is. 3. Traditioal Marriage is good for the family. Healthy marriages produce healthy families. 4. Traditioal Marriage is good for America. America is simply a uio of thousads of families. Whe marriage ad the family are healthy so is America. The foutaihead from which the State draws its life (is) wedlock ad the family. Pope Pius XI. 5. May marriages are ot good ad do ot please Our Lord. Our Lady of Fatima to Blessed Jacita.

Sait Joseph is the Spouse of the Mother of God ad the Pillar of Families. These rallies are beig held i his hoor seekig his itervetio to restore traditioal marriage to America. 7. The etire Christia life bears the mark of the spousal love of Christ ad the Church. Christia marriage i its tur becomes a efficacious sig, the sacramet of the coveat of Christ ad the Church. Paragraph 1617 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. 8. We ca have total cofidece that our public prayer will get results.
