Missionaries of Rosa Mystica
Our Mission | Based on our vocation we are to be Disciples of Christ called to bring the good news. Through intercessory prayer; we will combat evil, heal; bring knowledge of God, and spread the message of Maria Rosa Mystica. We must always be ready to say yes to God because we will be called at any time and anywhere to do His will. A solid Sacramental life, praying the Rosary, chaplets (Chaplet of Tears; Chaplet of St. Michael; and Chaplet of Divine Mercy), and taking time to listen to God will be our tools. The Great Wind (the Holy Spirit) the wind of changes will be our compass, guiding us under the mantle of Maria Rosa Mystica by the love of her son Jesus Christ.
Who are We? We are a men's and women’s intercessory prayer group devoted to Our Blessed Mother Maria Rosa Mystica and Jesus Christ, her son.
What Do We Do? We pray through Mary, the Perfect Intercessor, to Jesus for our parish and lifting up the prayer requests of our parishioners and intentions placed in St. Simon and Jude's petition box. We pray for all of the petitions, yet we only read aloud the petitions marked “yes”, as pray The Chaplet of Tears based on the seven sorrowful mysteries of Mary. The petition box is carried up during the offertory at every mass and placed under the altar. Next to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus there is nothing more touching and effective than the tears of our heavenly Mother!
When and Where? We meet in the chapel at the back of the church every Monday at 7:00 p.m.
Please join us! We invite you to join us in praying for the needs of our parish, our ministries, our clergy and parishioners.
