Our Lady's 38th Anniversary Rosary Vigil |
|
"I have prayed for the direction of Heaven, and due to the urgency of the coming Warning and Chastisement, I must continue ahead with the Message of Heaven to the world. The vigils cannot be stopped at this Shrine. The prayers of atonement must not be stopped. It is the will of God." Veronica, November 1, 1973 |

The infirm area: on September 30, 1980, Our Lord instructed Veronica to set up a special roped-off area for the sick and suffering. They would be the beneficiaries of outstanding graces at all Rosary Vigils. Numerous cures and conversions have been wrought, some of them massive, with doctors' statements and medical documentation providing authentication. |
|
Mary and Marisa Consoli of Yardley, Penn. sang Fatima Ave; On this Day, O Beautiful Mother and O Sacred Heart, O Love Divine. |
|
One of the reasons we pray on the Sacred Grounds is for atonement. Our Lady has said on April 14, 1973 that, "Should the prayers of atonement be discontinued on these sacred grounds, the Chastisement in earth time will be hastened." |
|
Each Vigil at 9 p.m., during a solemn interval, the pilgrims kneel and raise their Rosary to Heaven invoking the powerful intercession of Jesus and Mary. |
|

All roses are blessed by Jesus and Mary with the power of cure and conversion. They are passed out near the end of the Vigil (and Holy Hour) to the pilgrims who later press them in a book and laminate them on special cards (printed by SMWA) for distribution to all God's children, especially the ill and suffering. We receive many testimonials of the power of these mystical roses. For a free Rose Petal click here |

|
The good Fathers impart their priestly blessing. | |
All the pilgrims raise candles to herald the 38th Anniversary of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers, repeating the words:
Mary, Light of the World,
pray for us |
