HISTORY OF THE MIRACULOUS LADY OF ROSE

On September 29th, 1961, the feast day of St Michael the Archangel, the Madonna (Mother of Jesus) visited the Quattrini home and cured Mamma Rosa Quattrini whom the local doctors had sent home to die, as her condition had been considered "hopeless."

After touching Rosa and curing her, the Madonna directed her to go to see Padre Pio, who instructed her over a two-year period in the spiritual and physical care of the sick. When her Aunt Adele became ill, she again sought Padre Pio's counsel who told her to return to San Damiano to care for her aunt and to await a great mission. A short time later, Padre Pio's words were fulfilled.

On October 16th, 1964, the Madonna again visited Rosa in a public manifestation above a pear tree in Rosa's garden. The Madonna entrusted Rosa with a very important mission.

"I will come always - the Eternal Father has promised me this - every Friday while my 'instrument' is alive. Then I will come every first Friday of the month until the end of the world"

October 16, 1964, the Virgin Mary to Rosa Quattrini

"My little one, I come from very far away. Announce to the world that all must pray, for Jesus can no longer carry the Cross.

"I want all to be saved, the good and the bad. I am the Mother of Love, the Mother of all - you are all my children. That is why I want all to be saved. This is why I have come: to bring the world to prayer because the chastisements are near."

"I will return each Friday and I will give you messages and you must make them known to the world."

Rosa replied: "But how will they believe me? I am only a poor ignorant peasant. I have no authority. They'll throw me in prison."

The Madonna says: "Do not fear, because now I will leave you a sign. You will see it, this tree will blossom."

On that very day, the entire pear tree, already laden with golden fruit, burst into blossom! And this was the month of October!

Mama Rosa Quattrini's - Born Jan 26, 1909 - died September 5, 1981

The Miraculous Water of San Damiano

On Friday, Oct 21, 1966, the Heavenly Madonna appeared along with the Eternal Father who said to Rosa:

"I give a special power to my garden down here, this little corner of paradise, where I will dispense many Graces."

Rosa then saw a yellow globe descend down to the spot where the Well was to be dug - in the garden by the pear tree. Other witnesses present saw the same yellow globe. Rosa also saw a flame. The Madonna then told Rosa that Miraculous water would rise from this well and would be the source of many spiritual and physical blessings.

She said: "Everyone will receive grace, strength, and some will even recover their physical health by using this Miraculous Water, because there will be no other water like it!"

The Madonna then instructed St Michael to place his sword into the ground where the well was to be dug and instructs Rosa as to how deep the well was to be dug.

Nov 11-18, 1966 the Madonna states:

"Dig further. Come to drink at this well of water of Grace. Wash yourselves! Purify yourselves! Drink and have confidence in this Water. Many will be physically cured. Many will become saints. Bring this water to those who are gravely ill in hospitals, to the dying. Go often to see the souls who are moaning. Be strong! Do not fear. I am with you. ... This is the hour when the well will give light. It is a confirmation. Come draw water and take it into your homes and you will obtain infinite graces."

At this apparition, the Madonna asked an Italian seer present to announce the following:

"This well will give Water to all generations, to all men. The more Water is drawn, the more it will yield. This is Miraculous Water."

In another apparition, St Michael instructed that 10 Ave Maria's (Hail Mary's) are to be said when the water is drawn along with the Miraculous Madonna of the Roses prayer. In the book "Call of the Virgin at San Damiano" the author, Johan Osee recommends reciting 3 Hail Mary's and the Miraculous Madonna prayer before using the Miraculous Water and to add the Apostle's Creed when applying the Water topically.

Comment - The Water at the well in San Damiano is a great gift for all mankind. It is for people of all faiths. If your beliefs are such that you are taught it is wrong to say a "Hail Mary," then at least thank her Son, Jesus, and the Eternal Father from whom these Blessings have been made possible. Do so discreetly with the prayers of your choice.] Conrad LeBeau

THE BLESSED CLOTHS OF SAN DAMIANO

There are some who have the great happiness of possessing a little handkerchief, or square of white material, blessed by Our Heavenly Mother at San Damiano, Italy on different, specific occasions. Some were blessed on the eighth and ninth of December in 1968 and again on the twenty-fifth of March in 1969 and October seventh, 1969.

"Bring in quantity some little squares of white material, for example, some little white handkerchiefs. Place them in my little garden."

(the enclosure of the site of the apparitions.)

In this apparition of November 11, 1968, Our Heavenly Mother instructs the pilgrims who are present to bring the handkerchiefs to be blessed specifically on December 8, 1968, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

"These little white squares of material are to be given to the numerous sick enabling them to dry their tears. These handkerchiefs will receive a great gift from Me! Those who wipe their eyes will receive the light of Heaven and will understand that Jesus calls them. They will understand that penance must be done and pardon asked for, to arrive happily in Heaven.

"This is a great gift that I give you. My children, a very great gift that the Eternal Father has done for Me to save My sons. Tell everyone so that they will hasten here; that all may come to love Me; that all may come to receive the graces for this life to attain Heaven.

"Goodbye, My children, goodbye, day by day, hour by hour, I will always be here with you, to love you and to give you many graces.

"In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of-the Holy Spirit. Amen. " +

"Come, come My children, I shall wait for you on October 7th (the Feast of the Holy Rosary). Bring handkerchiefs with you! That day, like today, I shall bless them. You will give them to the sick, and all those who will be fortunate enough to put them on their chests will enjoy great comfort and salvation; those who will believe."

"My children, the handkerchiefs! It is such a great gift which I have given you, so great, so great."

Mamma Rosa (Rose Quattrini) explains that "the handkerchiefs must always be kept on one. If one is in trouble, if one has hard trials, if one is in tears and confusion, then one covers one's face with the handkerchief and makes a sign of the Cross. Also at the times of cyclones, calamities, etc., one passes it over one's face in order to have the light of faith. Also for the conversion of sinners! When they put the handkerchief on them, on their eyes, they will have the light of faith, whether they be invalid or not."

Mamma Rosa explains further that the "blessed handkerchiefs may be washed, but may not be cut." Use no bleach on them either. 12/10/69

(Prayer before using the Miraculous Water)
