Our Lady said to Veronica of the Cross, "Come to Me, all mothers who weep for their children. Come to Me and I will solace you. Understanding pours forth from My Mother's heart. Come, and I will place My mantle about you, and you will find great comfort with Me" (March 24, 1973). |

Jesus said on September 14, 1985: "The Rosary has always been music to Our hearts." Well, we had a symphony this day when we prayed 18 Rosaries (from 2 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.), many litanies, the long exorcism of St. Michael and sung an abundance of beautiful traditional hymns. |

This instant Polaroid photo was taken this evening by Lita Farag of Huntington Beach, Calif. She was asking a question about her parish where she and many of the faithful are being persecuted for kneeling during the Mass and for Holy Communion. As you can plainly see, a big rat appears. Jesus said on Nov. 1, 1975, "Pastors, you must gather the sheep and not scatter them. You are misleading Our sheep.... You chip away and you burrow like rats into the structure, the foundation of My houses throughout the world. You have set your seats up before the sacrificial altar! You--you pharisees in My House, I will descend upon you and I shall scatter you and send you from My temple." |

About 9:00 pm, 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." |

The sick and suffering were placed in the infirm area, a roped-off area designated by Jesus in 1980 for special healings. |

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. |

To conclude the vigil, all the pilgrims raise candles to herald the 36th Anniversary of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers, repeating the words: Mary, Light of the
World, pray for us |
