CHRIST OUR SAVIOR IS BORN!
Veronica
- “I see a cave. There's a large hole in the hillside, and it's all dug
out like it's been dug out; it's a cave.
And there's an animal; it looks like
a donkey. It's tied to a rock at the side of the entrance of the cave.
And now I can see inside the cave. And I see Our Lady. And She's sitting
on the ground. Our Lady has on a heavy shawl, and She . . . .
I see a man, and he has on a
brown gown. And he has a beard. I can look at him. And he's looking over
to Our Lady, and he's carrying straw. There's an animal over to the
side; it looks like a cow, I guess. It looks like a cow.
And then I know now the man is Saint Joseph. And he's carrying the straw
over, and he's laying it down by Our Lady. And She has a little Baby,
and He's all wrapped up in this sheeting. And the sheeting
looks like muslin. It’s a grayish-white, sort of a yellowish, very
hard-looking material. And She's smiling, and She's laying this
little Baby down. He's wrapped up in this sheeting, on this straw.
And now She's sitting up, and She's
smiling. And Joseph he walks over to Her, and he's giving Her a piece of
fish. I know it's fish, but it's very dry-looking. It's about oh, it's a
piece about that long. And Our Lady now is sitting there and She's
eating it, but it looks very hard. It looks like it's dried out. And
Joseph now, he has it's a loaf of bread, I guess. But it looks very
dark, almost black-looking. And he broke off a piece of it, on a piece
of rock. He hit it, so it must be very hard, what he is eating.
And now there's a light. Oh,
it's a beautiful light now, lighting up the whole inside of the cave.
But it' s not coming there's no candles or anything.
But oh, and behind them, there are
two beautiful angels. One of the angels, he has he's dressed in blue,
beautiful a long, blue gown. And over at the side of him is an angel. I
can't see their faces; it's they're so bright that all I can see are
their gowns and the, these wings. I know they have wings, because
they're like feathery goose down, reaching down to the ground from their
shoulders. And they're standing behind Our Lady. And Our
Lady now has looked up to them.
And the Baby is looking up to them,
also. And the Baby, I can tell from His size, is . . . I know He was
just born. But yet, His face He looks like, could be oh, yes.
Oh, He's now smiling up at
the angels. And a man now is come to the door, and he's looking in. And
he's saying something about the inn. And Joseph shook his head, "no."
They would stay there.”

‘Therese
and the Infant Jesus’
She walked up through
the door,
her arms stretched
out in Joy
For at the doorway
she did find
a beautiful little
boy -
His mother sat there
smiling,
his father toiled
away.
Therese spread down
roses on this,
her “meeting” day -
Her heart was filled
with gladness,
for here she found at
last
The reason for her
living and
suffering in the
Past.
To enter his Own
Kingdom
of Joy beyond
Compare.
All this she had
accomplished
by sacrifice and
Prayer -
To her love was a
feeling -
to guide her every
dream
To give and take the
good and bad
that flowed in life’s
rough stream -
The Ultimate was
Paradise
if you could only see
What Heaven was like
there in her eyes -
the day she came to
me.

Dictated by St. Therese. From ‘Veronica’s Notes,’ 1968
The Child Jesus greeted St. Therese, the Little Flower when she arrived
at Heaven’s door. St. Therese had said she would ‘spend her heaven
doing good upon earth sending a shower of roses’. Beginning in 1968,
St. Therese prepared Veronica for her mission with Our Lady of the Roses
and promised when she completed her mission to greet her in Heaven with
an armful of roses.
Jesus
- "You will abandon yourself to the Merciful Hearts, giving over your
will completely to the will of the Father. Accept your cross, My child,
for at the end of the road you will receive an armful of roses. You
understand, My child. Yes, she will be there, with her arms filled with
roses."

Our Lady -
"Veronica, My child, you will pray, and pray more often to the Infant
Jesus." June

We wish you
a Holy and Blessed Christmas!
TESTIMONIAL LETTERS
Healthy Baby - No Downs
July 31, 2002
I am a mother of 6 grown
daughters. Two years ago one of my daughters was going to have her
first baby. The doctor told her there was a chance the baby would be
born with Down’s. A friend gave me the Blessed rose petal which I gave
my daughter. With many prayers by family and friends we had a beautiful
healthy baby girl. When another daughter had trouble in her life the
petal was passed to her. We now have a scare of a possible serious
medical problem for yet another daughter. To my dismay the petal was
left in a pocket and put through the laundry. So I am asking for a new
petal for our family.
Rosella - Tennessee
P.S. Thank you for giving us all
hope.

Pain Gone in Arm
September 18,
2002
I am very grateful to Our Blessed
Lady. My right arm really was painful, and especially in Church in the
year 2000. It bothered me very much during Mass as I couldn’t get
comfortable with the nagging pain. I put up with it and kept praying to
Our Lady of the Roses. I kept blessing my arm hoping for a miracle.
Then my husband who was sitting next to me said “How is your arm”? And I
said “the pain is all gone”. Both of us were so surprised and I said
“Bob,” my husband now deceased since Dec 30, 2000, I said “She performed
a miracle.” I am now writing and no pain. Thanks to Our Lady of the
Roses. This is the truth and my husband had a peaceful death. May God
bless you all. Meant Sincerely with prayers.

Surgery a
Success
October 8,
2002
Dear Friends of Our
Lady:
When I had my by-pass surgery, Our
Blessed Lady was there, because I asked Her if I could hold on to Her
mantle. My cardiologist said I should give testimony to Our Lord
because I really shouldn’t be here. Thanks be to God! They had to
resuscitate me Twice!!

Sister Died with Sacraments
October 9, 2002
My sister had been away from the
sacraments and Church for 35 years. When she was diagnosed with lung
cancer, she went to confession, received the sacraments and prepared
well for her death. She died wearing the scapular, crucifix and
medals. She also received the Last Sacrament.

Miracle Baby
November 5, 2002
To Our Lady of the Roses,
At two months into my pregnancy I
started to hemorrhage and formed a blot clot between my uterus and
placenta. The doctor said that if it got any larger, I would lose my
baby. He only gave me a 40% chance of carrying my baby to term. I was
so scared, because I had already had a miscarriage three years earlier.
I wanted this baby more than anything in the world, so I prayed very
hard. The doctor said all I could do was wait and see. Well, while I
waited, I wrote in for some of your literature and received a rose petal
for free. I took that blessed rose petal and put it inside the
waistband of my underclothes, right next to my unborn child. I wore
that rose petal for the next six months. The only time I did not have
the rose petal on me was when I showered. On March 31, 1995, I gave
birth to my 9lb. 4oz son! I feel so blessed. He is my miracle baby!
He is now seven years old and I know that Our Lady helped us all the
way. Thank you so much!

her coma and told her daughter she loved her before she died.
