2008 Shrine Rosary Vigils

All Welcome - Come pray on the Sacred Grounds - Many graces!

Conducted by the Shrine workers of the original, authentic
true Shrine of Our Lady of the Roses as directed by Veronica.

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine
P.O. Box 52, Bayside, NY 11361 1 800 of the Roses

Our 2008 Vigil permit requests have been approved by the Special Events and Legal Counsel of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The park grounds of New York City is city property for public use and each year we apply for our Prayer Service Vigil permits at the Vatican Pavilion Site in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. On May 22, 1975, Veronica Lueken's Vigils for Our Lady of the Roses Vigils and Holy Hours were relocated to the site of the Vatican Pavilion from the old St. Robert Bellarmine church grounds in a civil court case decided by a judge of the NY State Supreme Court and in agreement with the NY City Parks Department and the NYC Police Department in order to accommodate the increasing pilgrims and Bayside Civic Association neighborhood residents. Our Lady approved this relocation with the Go photo and said the Baysid e sacred grounds site will be 'held temporarily in abeyance. We await Our Ladys sign to our local Bishop, (Diocese of Brooklyn), to begin the full investigation and review, conduct the Vigils and build the Basilica Our Lady requests to be called 'Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers'. A future Order of Our Lady of the Roses also will come forth. Currently Our Lady of the Roses Trustees and Helpers safeguards the Shrine Archives as requested by Our Lady for the future Church investigation. Our Lady promised to appear over the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church and also promised a fount of curative waters to erupt there. You are invited to help us with the permit fees and Shrine mission to reach all souls. Thank you for your kindness!

"One day, My child, the waters will come up at Bayside, and I will appear over the old church building.

Your Bishop then cannot deny My Appearances." Our Lady of the Roses, May 17, 1986.



 

“Everyone who comes to the Sacred Grounds has been called there by the Father.”   
 Jesus, June 18, 1983

 

Our Lady said our prayers will rise to Heaven and She will present them to the Eternal Father.   She called Her Shrine “a Center of Atonement”, an “oasis in dark times”. Many prayers are sorely needed for the conversion of souls, the release of the souls in Purgatory and to help ‘even the balance’ with public prayers of reparation.     The Eternal Father chose New York because of abortion & the rosary is Our Lady’s request to stop the murder of the holy souls.  ‘The roses mean the souls’ and the rosary is a ‘wreath of roses’.  “Every bead is a soul.” 

 “Prayer Penance  Atonement”       “Redemption Grace & Peace”.  

 

OPENING PRAYERS     (1 Act of Contrition & 3 Hail Mary’s for anyone who has died without a final act of contrition)     St. Michael Prayer with Holy water sprinkled.

 

PROCESSION (May Crowning, Anniversary Vigil)

            Join in the procession as we carry Our Lady’s miraculous Shrine Statue around the Vatican Pavilion three times (that Jesus and Mary appeared over to Veronica) .   Please carry a banner, candle, roses, flag, etc for the beginning of the procession,   Our Lady requested white gloves to be worn (“mittens”) for the procession.  The rosary will be said continuously.  Volunteers are also needed to lead the Rosary and Litanies. 

 

 ROSARY VIGIL

After the Procession the rosary continues and Our Lady is then placed on the Vatican Pavilion.

Our Lady requested three hour Rosary Vigils on the Eve of the Feast days throughout the year for prayer penance and atonement and the dates would be given to Veronica by Our Lady.   The Vigils have continued uninterrupted since June 18, 1970 in all weather, even on 9-11-01 when many roads were closed and the New York city and country were in a state of emergency. 

Our Lady also requested a Holy Hour every Sunday (3 Rosaries) for priests.  

The Vigils began at Veronica’s parish church - St. Robert Bellarmine and were moved in June 1975 to the Vatican Pavilion Site in Flushing Meadows Park where Michaelangelo’s Pieta statue was on view for the 1963-64 World’s Fair.  Pope Paul VI also blessed the Vatican Pavilion site on his visit in 1964.

Sick Area:   Our Lady asked for an area for sick and infirm to sit  -- in the front few rows.  Chairs available.

 

Vigils - 7:30pm to 10:30pm - consisting of  7 rosaries, litanies and songs and ending in the
Candlelight Prayer
given by Our Lady:                      

“Mary Light of the World,  pray for us.

   Our Lady of the Roses,  pray for us.

   Mary Help of Mothers,  pray for us.”

 

Veronica Lueken (July 12, 1923-August 3, 1995) an ordinary wife and mother of five was chosen to be the voice-box for Heaven to bring messages to the world.  St. Therese the Little Flower trained Veronica for this great mission from Heaven with her “Little Way”.  Veronica’s chosen close workers continue the Shrine mission as Our Lady requested .  

Our Lady requested that Her “clergy conduct the Vigils of Atonement”. We await the sign promised for the bishop and the miraculous spring of water to erupt at the original site of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside, NY.

 

Our Lady said: One day My child, the waters will come up at Bayside, and I will appear over the old church building. Your Bishop then cannot deny My appearances.”   May 17, 1986

PRAYERS GIVEN TO VERONICA BY HEAVEN

 

 

PRAYER

"My children, We are always with you but you must think your way to Us.  This may be confusing at first but really quite simple, for prayer is a form of soul meditation through the thinking process.  What you hear within, is the Spirit within”        

Our Lady, October 6, 1970

 

"You must all now keep a constant vigilance of prayer. And when I say constant, My children, it means daily."             

Our Lady, March 18, 1978

 

“Jesus, extend to us in the light, in Your infinite knowledge, the power, through the light, to understand the task that lies ahead for all of us who wish to be saved."  

Veronica, February 11, 1971

 

"Of the hours you awaken to, you will say:

‘This day I give to please my God.'

 

In this manner you will be directed in the light."        

St. Theresa, December 31, 1972

 

"You must now say when you arise:

'I will protect myself with the Shield of the Immaculate Conception.'

You will say before you enter your bed (which will not be a bed of security and comfort now): 'I protect myself with the shield of the Immaculate Conception.' For, My children, when you sleep "he does not sleep."         

Our Lady, July 1, 1971

 

"When you become ill, be it physical, mental, or sorrowfully in your heart, you will say,

'My Jesus, my Confidence!'

 

And I will truly succor you."

Our Lady, September 7, 1985

 

"All you have to do is say,

'Jesus, I love You. Save souls,

save the consecrated.'

 

That is very important."  

St. Theresa, October 2, 1989

 

“Eternal Father, through the merits of Your Son, Jesus, we invoke You to send St. Michael, to defend us against Satan.  Cast out all evil spirits, that may seek to enter our hearts and minds.  Amen.

     Most Holy Son of God protect us.

 

“O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee.”   

Veronica, June 5, 1975

 

 St. Michael, our dear guardian, through the love of our Most Beloved Father, for a lowly sinner, protect us now and through the Mission ahead, against the attacks of Satan and his wretched henchmen that are set among us, to carry out a devious plan against all Heaven, and bring tears to the Heart of Our Beloved Queen of Heaven.

 

     I love You, Father - I surrender my heart to the Most Wonderful Spouse, the Lord of all creation and most worthy of the Name Beloved.”

Veronica,  February 28, 1971

 

The exorcism as given by Jesus:

 “If thou art a disciple of hell I am to tell you:  In God’s name, begone!  For there is only one true God, the Lord High God in heaven! And as for you:  You will go back to satan and tell him these exact words that I have told you.  In the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost!”    

Veronica

 

“O Sacred Heart of Jesus, may I place my heart in your protecting Hand - I am but a weak soul - unable to cleanse myself, but for a short duration, of this stigma of sin.  In Your protective and loving Hands I will surrender to the Glory of the Light that will protect this weak soul from entrance by Satan and his ogres.  The Eternal Father rests on Sunday - Loving Jesus, how I long to call on You, but how can I do this knowing that the burden of this world's sins You have carried with You the six other days!  I long to hear Your Voice - that Secret Voice of Love - sent on the wind of instant transport, to be absorbed by the thirsting heart of this soul that had dried up - a shriveled, a miserable wretch from the pollution of sin - cleanse me, Dearest Father, as I wish to come to You as a spotless sacrifice, in reparation for the many offenses to You and the Blessed Trinity, with the shinning Glory of Heaven - Mary, Our Mother.

 

     “The Eternal Father calls the soul - heart

I give you my heart, Dearest Father, do with me as You will.”         

 Veronica, February 28, 1971

 

Prayer of Saint Martin of Tours for all priests:

"Son of God most High, have mercy on Thy servant, a miserable sinner, release me from the sins that have grown up in my heart, which are implanted in my polluted soul.  O Savior Jesus, grant that hereafter, I may behold Thy divine glory!"               

  Veronica, February 28, 1971

 

 GUARDIAN ANGEL

"You will teach the little children the prayer to their guardian:

O Angel of God, my guardian dear,

 for whom God's love commits you here;

ever this day be at my side,

to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

 Our Lady, July 25, 1977

 

LITANY TO ST JOSEPH

“And now, we will recite, at the direction of Our Lady, the Litany to Saint Joseph.  Now, Our Lady requests that this Litany be recited in reparation for many priests who are in Purgatory.  Our Lady said: That the priests in Purgatory are forgotten, because many have forgotten them, because they think, as priests, that they don't need prayers, that they enter immediately into Heaven.  Our Lady said you must understand that the priest is still human, subject to sin and error.  However, during the consecration of the Host and during the time of the confessional, when he gives absolution, he is Jesus impersonified.  He is the representative of Jesus.  Though he be subject to error, he is still a human being, and therefore, he can enter into Hell or Purgatory.  There are many now who have been forgotten.

     Therefore, we will recite the Litany to St. Joseph for these priests who have not received enough prayers and sacrifices to release them from Purgatory.  Many have been there, Our Lady said, for many, many years.  Therefore, we will recite the Litany now.”   Veronica, February 10, 1974

 

“ My Jesus, I accept the cross.  I dedicate, I consecrate myself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Amen. 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  Amen.”      

Veronica: February 10, 1974

 

PRAYER FOR A DEPARTED SOUL

“Oh, Our Lady is giving a direction now.  Our Lady says that She would like you, when you’re here, (at the Sacred Grounds) whether you know a person or whether you don’t, She requests that you say and Act of Contrition and three Hail Mary’s for a great indulgence will be granted for the soul, the departed soul.  …Therefore, they would be given a grace necessary for their repatriation into Heaven.”      

Veronica, May 30, 1973

 

 Vigil Closing Prayer

Given by Our Lady to bring in the new Feast Day:

“Mary Light of the World, pray for us

Our Lady of the Roses, pray for us

Mary Help of Mothers, pray for us”

 

 FATIMA PRAYER

"Therefore, when you despair, say:

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Your mercy."  

 Our Lady, June 18, 1992

 

“My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee.  I beg pardon for all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love Thee.”

Veronica, June 18, 1976

 

ST. MICHAEL PRAYER

"Lucifer is upon earth; you understand that his powers are great. That is why you must always test the spirits and say the St. Michael Exorcism when it is possible. When it is not possible, you will say:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the Divine power of God, cast into hell, satan, and all evil spirits who wander throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls."

 

ACT OF CONTRITION

“O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I confess to all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because I love Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

 

"You see, My child, that also will be cast from the books this coming year."

Jesus, October 6, 1988

 

APOSTLES CREED

“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.”

Veronica, June 5, 1975

 

HAIL MARY

“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

Veronica, June 16, 1973

 

GLORY BE

“Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”  

Veronica, July 15, 1975

 

NIGHT PRAYER

"You must teach them, parents, to say this simple prayer to Heaven:

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take."

 

 -Jesus, June 17, 1989
