Maria " Rosa Mystica"

Why Maria Rosa Mystica

Our Blessed Mother has appeared under many titles throughout the years. Most of us are aware of the most publicized ones like Fatima, Lourdes, and Guadalupe, etc. Many people know very little or nothing at all about the appearances of Our Blessed Mother under the title of Rosa Mystica. I have heard people (and even priests) tell me that they already have a few devotions of Our Blessed Mother so they don't need another one. There is only one Virgin Mary but I firmly believe that there will always be one devotion that lights your soul on fire. This is just what happened to me but through the devotion of Rosa Mystica. With each devotion Her messages are similar but She adds on different requests. Under Rosa Mystica she requests that we pray for all priests, nuns and religious institutions. Have you ever visited a Church and walked away feeling like something was missing? or Did you go to see a Priest in your moment of despair and felt no warmth, compassion or guidance from him? I have had my share of experiences so maybe that is why Our Blessed Mother has magnetized me to Rosa Mystica. We must pray alot for our religious because in these times they are facing difficult moments. Many religious are losing their vocations or are becoming lukewarm. We are experiencing a shortage of priests. You will find from time to time a Priest that truly inspires you. We must pray for them also so they don't lose that special charisma they have. Through our prayers, the Blessed Mother will let fall a superabundance of graces to protect and strengthen the religious, increase new vocations as well as hear our other petitions. These graces will keep their fire burning bright and give them the strength to continually help us get back up each time we fall and give us the inspirations and hopes that one day we will all rejoice in Heaven.

The priest makes all the difference when you go to church. I have been searching for some time now for a church that I could feel complete in. I finally found one so it’s important that you visit other Catholic churches until you find the one that you feel good in. I have visited some churches that left me feeling like I never went to Church. Ever since the Blessed Mother gave me my wake-up call, I see things so differently now. I see and feel where we are going wrong and how desperately we need to pray. We need all our Catholic churches to remain/become rock solid so we can survive what the future holds.

When you find a priest that inspires you, don’t get tired of telling him how much you appreciate him because they need to hear it to keep going strong. Their job is not an easy one.

From the first time I visited the Rosa Mystica House of Prayer about 6 years ago to my last visit on December 8, 2008, Our Blessed Mother has touched me in so many different ways throughout the years. She has been calling me for some time now but I was too caught up in this world to open my heart to her. It wasn’t until my visit in August, 2008 that I felt her presence so strong that I broke down in tears. I sobbed uncontrollably which I really can’t explain but at that moment I knew that this time, Our Blessed Mother was not going to let me go back home the same. She filled me with a lot of graces and a few of the burning desires she left me with is the need to pilgrim Her statue through homes and churches, offer the pilgrimages to Her chapel and create this website.

It is important to open our hearts and homes to Rosa Mystica because you never know if this will be the devotion that will change your life completely.
