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,
