How to pray the rosary

Location of Phoenix Convention Center

The Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a 4 ft. x 6 ft. exact photographic replica of the original miraculous image in Mexico.  It is a gift from the Bishops of Mexico to the Catholics of the United States for the purpose of traveling to end abortion and the culture of death, to melt hearts and bring about conversions. 

Be sure to take this opportunity to pay honor to Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of our Diocese.  We need her  powerful intercession. more.

Many tears have appeared on images of our Lady of Guadalupe--tears of water, oil, and blood.  Pope John Paul II said, "...they testify to the presence of the Mother in the Church and in the world.  A mother weeps when she sees her children threatened by evil, be it spiritual or physical.

Planning for Rosary Sunday 2009

WHAT IS THE ROSARY?

The Rosary is a combination of vocal prayers (the Our Fathers & Hail Marys) and of mental prayer--the  reflection on important events in the life of Christ and His Mother.

WHY PRAY THE ROSARY?

It is Our Lady's favorite prayer.

St. Peter Julian Eymard explained, she (Mary) is the first and most perfect

adorer of the Lord. Even in modernity, sacred authors write of her great role in bringing us the Bread of Life . . .. Truly in the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Rosary we have the 'weapons' to bring peace to the world.

Our Lady of Guadalupe

and Adoration go together. 

The only thing that Our Lady asked at Guadaulpe was that a church be built so that we could pray to her Son in His Church.

--she brings us to Jesus.

MISSIONARY IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

Over the past few years when the Missionary Image Of Our Lady of Guadalupe has come to the Phoenix area, we have witnessed many things.

MANY people smell roses. MOST people feel a peacefulness that they have not felt before.

People of all ages often feel the heartbeat of Mary and of Baby Jesus. 

Last year at one of the churches, a two year old child touched the image and said "Lady hurts."  She hurts because of the way we have treated her son. At one of the schools, a pre-kindergarten teacher saw the Image with a tear. Others noticed the moisture on the cheek.

At one of the prisons here, The Missionary Image had a teardrop on her cheek and one on her knee. Over 30 people witnessed it.

One person said, "When I touched our Mother of Guadalupe, I felt a great tenderness in my heart and when I turn my eyes to her I felt I needed to forgive completely everybody that has offended me.  At this moment, I felt her womb moving."

In 2004, we went to most of the Catholic high schools in the valley.  At many of the schools the aroma of roses was very prevalent. 

"I touched her heart and asked her to give us strength to lead our lives the way God meant it to be.  My son said when he touched her heart he felt a shock go up to his heart.  When I thought about it, I said to myself he is innocent and has a great love for Our Blessed Mary and maybe he really did feel something."

"The minute I entered the chapel the aroma of roses hung sweetly in the air.  As I placed my hand on her womb, the heartbeat caused by hand to tremble slightly." 

"I have been searching for a way back to my religion and faith and found it today the moment I walked in the door and saw the beautiful picture of Our Lady.  I love you Blessed Mother." 

------------------------------------------------------------------------  

It should be noted: Not everyone, everytime will smell the roses or feel the heartbeat.  This is a blessing from Our Lord.  He chooses when He wants to give us His blessings and how.  The person who does not receive a blessing at the moment the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is viewed and touched may receive a blessing later.

Prayer

"0 Lady of Tears, look with motherly goodness on the sorrow of the world! Dry the tears of the suffering, of the forgotten, of the desperate and of the victims of every violence.

"Make everyone weep  tears of repentance and of new life, which will open their hearts to the regenerating gift of God's love. Make them

weep tears of joy for having seen the profound tenderness of your heart. Praised  be Jesus Christ!"  Amen.
