The
lay order of St. Michael (as designated by Our Lady and Veronica Lueken) are working hard to
honor our special and privileged calling as disciples of the latter days
(October 2, 1989).
As you can see here and from our mailings, the work and prayer are going
strong.
Our
community incorporates a strong spiritual life that includes daily:
Mass, 15-decade Rosary, and Bible reading. And weekly: confession,
miraculous medal novena and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
Monday
through Saturday we work in our new office and print shop. Our presses
and heavy machinery are in full operation.
In
addition, the lay Order of St. Michael holds all the regularly scheduled Rosary
Vigils and Sunday Holy Hours at the sacred grounds (Our Lady of the
Roses Shrine) as requested by
Our Lady. These provide much spiritual strength to the workers, as the
sacred grounds are truly an oasis of grace. Being a member of the lay
Order of St. Michael helps us come
closer to Jesus and Our Lady--a chance to show our love for Them. No
vows are taken at this time but the workers are required to lead a
celibate life.
We
are diligent in handling the many orders for sacramentals and literature
that Our Lady's devotees need in order to exercise their missionary
activity among their brethren. Besides, we have a growing mailing list
for those who are interested in receiving free literature from us; our Golden
Warrior newsletter, Heaven
Speaks Today and other inspiring and uplifting material. There
is no subscription cost. Our apostolate is all directed towards saving
souls and promoting the Mission of Bayside.
It
is our strong belief that it is a tremendous honor and privilege to work
for the Queen of Heaven. Our mission is unique, fulfilling, and
rewarding. In fact, Our Lord Himself on June 6, 1987 summed it up best:
"I call them fellows, though you may call that a common term; but they
are in a fellowship with God, and they will also know that their time
upon earth has been used in the best cause of all: to save souls and to
bring God to mankind"
(Jesus, June 6, 1987).
If
you feel a calling to be part of the lay Order of St. Michael then let us
know through email or write the address
