First visit of Our Lady at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers
Our Lady spoke to Veronica in locution, and said:
Our Lady "My tears fall on you." [At this point Veronica broke into tears.]
"Pray, My children. So many souls will be lost. It is because I love you that I come."
"You will have to suffer, My child. Cry with Me, My child, for I have never stopped crying."
[Veronica continued crying.]
"Pray; pray always, because so many souls will be lost. I have come to save you.
Turn back! Turn back!
"So many souls will be lost. Listen to Me! Pray, please pray! There is hope in prayer."
"The darkness grows deeper. I carry the light.... Much to suffer. Listen to Me!"
[Our Lady wept bitterly.]
"Pray! Pray! Pray! Love Him. Love My Son; do not hate My Son"
Our Lady then asked Veronica to repeat the poetic message given to her by Saint Theresa in 1969:
Speaking of the Rosary, Our Lady said:
Our Lady- "These are the pearls of Heaven, pearls of prayer. These are My pearls of prayer to Heaven. "I am your Mother of love. Blessed is he who extends his love to his brothers and gives his heart to Me. "I love you all, My children; but you must pray more. I love you all, My children. My arms are filled with roses."
"My heart is sad. My Rosary has been discarded in many places, and neglected here."
Our Lady did not appear, because Her requests and directives given to Veronica for the clergy had been ignored. If only one, just one request had been heeded... but no one listened.
Veronica served only as the messenger and the intermediary of Our Lady's messages, in childlike obedience to Our Lady.
