Our Lady's
42nd Anniversary
Rosary Vigil

Saturday, June 16, 2012
Our Lady of the Roses,
Mary Help of Mothers Shrine 
7:30 - 10:30 p.m.

 

About 500 pilgrims, many first-timers, attended the Anniversary Vigil.

 
 

"These are not ordinary times. These are not ordinary days. No, if you read the words left by the prophets, you will understand. The Book of life is there for you. It is all there if you will take the time to read it. All must come to pass, and then the Ball of Redemption will be upon you."

Our Lady, June 17, 1971

 

Michael greeting the pilgrims that came from across the globe. Here is his opening statement:

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Good evening and welcome to Our Lady of the Roses Shrine.

My name is Michael Mangan, the President of St Michael’s W. A. And on behalf of all the workers/guards of SMWA and the Lay Order of St. Michael, I want to wish every one a very joyous and grace-filled 42nd Anniversary of Our Lady’s appearances here at Bayside under the powerful title of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers.

We have pilgrims here tonight from India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Europe, Central and South America, Canada, the four corners of America, and of course, the illustrious borough of Queens, N.Y. And we extend a special welcome to all of our clergy.

We want to thank all of you for your prayers and sacrifice and your recognition for the urgent need and effectiveness of public prayer and reparation to the Eternal Father as the world and Church plunges into deeper darkness.

We are suffering at this time through unprecedented attacks on our religious freedom and constitutional rights e.g., the HHS contraceptive mandate, that is rapidly leading to the full reign of anti-christ or as Our Lady prophesied 34 years ago: “a one-world religion and a one-world government under a supreme dictator of evil.” (March, 18, 1978) Even as we face this sinister plot isn’t it encouraging to know that we have a safe haven to go to anytime, this sacred spot here in Flushing Meadows Corona Park that Our Lady and Lord have promised to be here, for you, until the Second Coming of Jesus.

Indeed, the hope always remains that if we listen to Their voice and act upon it, we can hold off the relentless assault of anti-christ that is poised to take over.

Just a couple of short testimonials that show the power of Our Lady of the Roses.

          Rose M. Baker from Rolla, ND on Nov. 13, 2009, writes:

"I want to thank Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers. For about a year, I had a hernia jutting from my stomach. It grew to about a foot. No doctor wanted to operate, so my Mom said to me, "Why don't you pin a blessed rose petal to your clothes over the hernia?" I did, and in two days water gushed out of my hernia in gallons. Now I feel so much better. Thank you, dear Lady of the Roses."

          Maureen Murphy from Bronx, NY on May 21, 2009, writes:

"Please go to St Michael’s World Apostolate if you need any help with your life. They saved my daughter’s life with their prayers. I have experienced many miracles and so will you."

Also, for 42 years we have held a Holy Hour for priests every Sunday outdoors at 10:30 a.m. We invite you to join us any Sunday morning in this much-needed and charitable sacrifice that Our Lady said would be rewarded in the next life.

In the meantime, may you have a very blessed, peaceful and fruitful Vigil. And we hope you join us here again soon where Jesus said in 1991: “We have made our Home upon these grounds.”

 
 

Five priests offered the sacrament of penance for 2.5 hours and scores of pilgrims confessed.

 

"All who are in the pure spirit of the light will have nothing to fear. If you fall victim to satan, you must immediately run to receive a new store of grace from your pastor in confession and the receiving of My Son's Body."

Our Lady, Aug. 13, 1977

 

Hundreds of heart-felt reparative prayers rising to Heaven.

Michael Mangan is head of the Lay Order of St. Michael (LOSM). Our Lady has said that from this lay order will emerge the full-fledged religious Order of St. Michael, an order founded on tradition with priests and religious. Our Lady also told Veronica that Mr. Mangan would be the head of this religious order and that it will be approved by the Church even before the great Chastisement.

 
 
 
 

"Veronica, my sister, I did not choose to rest on earth, or over the veil. I do pray that you will also make this decision, for we need all in the battle ahead. I shall not accept a rest, for I will spend my time in Heaven coming down to your earth to help gather the souls."

St. Theresa, Sept. 6, 1975

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.

Many prayers of the holy Rosary rise at this "center of atonement" (Our Lady, Sept. 7, 1974).

 

The good Fathers impart their priestly blessing

 

All the pilgrims raise candles to herald the 42nd Anniversary of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers, repeating the words:

Mary, Light of the World, pray for us
Our Lady of the Roses, pray for us
Mary, Help of Mothers, pray for us

 
 
 

Special gift  After the Vigil, pilgrims lined up to venerate the crucifix on the Rosary and the reliquary that contains a piece of the crucifix that Veronica of the Cross would clutch during her ecstasy, both of which were kissed by Our Lady.

 
 

Dear Michael and Lay Order
of St. Michael,
       It was a great 42nd and well worth the expense of SMWA! I understand that you are carrying a deficit of $7400 from the enormous Anniversary costs. And in addition, you can now include Veronica's 17th Anniversary weekend and its heavy costs. Here's my thoughtful gift (tax-deductible) to help cover the 42nd Anniversary gap and to assist with our beloved seer's 17th Anniversary events. Click here now to donate
