Hour of Grace - Rosa Mystica
DECEMBER 8TH – HOUR OF GRACE (12:00pm to 1:00pm)
(Acknowledgements: A very special Thank you to the Felician Sisters in general who printed this story in their AVE MARIA magazine and who so graciously translated this story from the Polish into English in order to comply with the request of the Blessed Virgin Mary that this message be sent throughout the world. Thanks also to Ethelyn David in Vancouver, BC for sending this.)
During the period of November 24, 1946 to December 8, 1947, the Blessed Mother appeared to Sister Pierina in a little church in Montichiari, Italy, eleven times.
On the first appearance the Blessed mother told Sister Pierina She wanted to be known as the “Mystical Rose,” and that an hour of grace should be kept at noon, December 8th, in all the Catholic Churches of the world. The Blessed Mother wanted this to be known through all of Italy, and the entire world.
It was November 16, 1947 when Sister Pierina was finishing Her Thanksgiving after Holy Communion when she saw a great light. She then saw a vision of the Blessed Mother as the “Mystical Rose”.

Fr. Zachary - Eucharistic Marian Conference
Fr. Zachary of the Mother of God, SOLT has graciously provided a series of conferences he presented at a Eucharistic Marian Conference held at Our Lady of Good Counsel Retreat House in Waverly, Nebraska.
These talks are sure to help the Faithful grow in a Personal, Sacramental and Covenantal Relationship with Jesus through Mary. The Conferences are largely based in Sacred Scripture (especially St John’s Gospel Chapter 6: The Bread of Life Discourse) and the Sacred Tradition as expressed by the Saints and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Please share with everyone.
