Rosary Vigil
7:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.

 

Welcome to Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine staffed and directed by St Michael's World Apostolate.    Send us your petition and it will be placed at the feet of Our Lady at the next Rosary Vigil.

 

Look for the St Michael's World Apostolate banner when you come.

 

A crowd of about 100 pilgrims praying the Rosary. It was a mild night with the temperature in the high 30's.

 

Most of the lights around the sacred grounds were off tonight, reminding us of the blackout that hit the Northeast last August.

 
Jesus and Our Lady promised to be present at the sacred grounds as long as one person comes here to pray.
 

At 9 p.m. the invocation of the blessing of Jesus and Mary: "All who are able to kneel, please kneel, and with faith lift your Rosary up to Heaven and Jesus and Mary will bless us."

 

Pilgrims bring roses to adorn the Shrine.  Our Lady's Shrine helpers distribute them to everyone later in the evening. These roses are blessed by Jesus and Our Lady during the Rosary Vigil and have the power of cure and conversion.

 

During the Vigil, a child is touched by the crucifix that Our Lady kissed.

 
 

Pilgrims repeating the invocation:
Mary, light of the World, pray for us
Our Lady of the Roses, pray for us
Mary, Help of Mothers, pray for us.
