Join us in Celebrating the

ROSA MYSTICA FEAST DAY NOVENA

OUR LADY ROSA MYSTICA In the Spring of 1947, Mary, the Mother of God, appeared to nurse Pierina Gilli in the hospital in Monthichiari, . Our Lady was dressed in mauve, very sad and with tears in her eyes. Her heart was pierced by three swords: first sword means the unworthily celebration of Holy Mass and Communion unworthily received, the second sword is being unfaithful to, and giving up the vocation as priest or religious and the third sword means betrayal of the faith. Our Lady asked for “Prayers, Sacrifice and Penance.” On the 13th of July, 1947, Our Lady appeared again to Pierina, in a white dress. She was adorned with three beautiful roses, white, red and yellow in the place of the three swords: the white rose repre- sented the spirit of Prayer, the red rose the spirit of Sacrifice, and the yellow rose the spirit of Penance and Conversion. Pierina had not rec- ognized the Mother of God, so she asked, “Please tell me who are you?” Our Lady smiled saying: “I am the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of you. Our Lord sends me to bring a new Marian Devo- tion to all religious orders and institutes who will venerate me in the special way, increase their vocations, and achieve a great striving for This Sunday! saintliness among the servants of God. I wish that the 13th of each month to be celebrated as a Marian Day. Special prayers are to be said July 15, 5 pm during the preceding 12 days. On this day I shall pour out vocational July 15, 5 pm holiness and abundant graces on those religious orders and spiritual institutes who have honored me especially. I wish that the 13th of July Visitation Parish be celebrated each year in honor of the Rosa Mystica (The Mystical Crypt of the Saints Rose). Through my coming to Monthichiari, I wish to be known as ROSA MYSTICA.” Adoration Chapel Basement
