Today we celebrate a special importance. The Mass, Communion, rosary and an hour of adoration can make more devotional on the Feast of Rosa Mystica. There are three roses in the Rosa Mystica images we usually see. Mary links special prayer intentions to the three roses she wears instead of the three swords of previous apparitions: the white rose stands for prayer for the perseverance of religious vocations; the red rose indicates prayer and sacrifice in penance for offenses committed by religious/priests; the golden rose symbolizes prayers of penance in favor of the Judas-priests, traitors to the cause of Christ.
In still another apparition Mary asks for the veneration of her Immaculate Heart in religious congregations. For December 8 (every year) she decrees an hour of grace for the whole world, to be celebrated at noon. During the same apparition, she asks for a statue modeled according to the characteristics of the Rosa Mystica (12/8/1947).
