To Our Lady of the Roses:
I am very thankful for the "Rose" papers. I put them in the entrance of my church. I am convinced 100% that God will punish this generation if they will not turn back to Jesus. Enclosed find a small donation.

Since I have been going to the Vigils--I have to tell you--my prayers have all been answered, thanks to Our Lady of the Roses. My son got into trouble with the law and was in jail for some time. My wife suffered a mental breakdown and was in the hospital for 11 weeks; she lost her voice, also. I was laid off from work for quite a while, and I sat home and cried and prayed to Our Lady of the Roses.
Then things worked out--they eventually did. My son got out of jail, and he is now on parole and has a job. My wife is finally better and is at home. I finally got back to work. I have two jobs now, and I haven’t been able to get to the Vigils lately, but I am eternally grateful to the people who prayed for me to Our Blessed Mother of the Roses who answers my prayers.

Dear Veronica,
I am a believer in the Bayside Shrine. I try to do my part--especially--to spread the messages from heaven.
One day, at work, a friend of mine came to my area to talk to me. Through my conversations with him, I mentioned about Bayside. He had never heard of the Shrine, and he was interested in hearing more. I gave him a Rose Petal and told him about the miraculous pictures, etc. He left.
The next day, he came to my area again to tell me that he also mentioned Bayside to his friend, Tommy, and he too wants to hear more. I met his friend Tommy, and I explained many things. He told me he had been away from Church for 11 years. I gave him a Rose Petal and showed him some of the miraculous photos.
After many weeks, I heard from him. He said he had his Confession heard and went back to church. In turn, he talked about the miraculous pictures to his friend, Jim. He gave him a Rose Petal, and after one week, he too went back to church. He had been away from church eight years.
Oh, I thank you, Veronica, for helping Our Lady and Our Lord and Savior to save souls. May God multiply His blessings upon you and your family.

Dear Veronica,
About ten weeks ago, my niece’s husband fell from a ladder 30 feet, while working on a house. He landed on concrete. He sustained a badly fractured skull, a broken collar-bone, broken ribs, punctured lungs, his chest was in a bad way, bleeding and fluid discharge--just a mess. His left hand seemed to be paralyzed--there seemed little hope for a recovery.
I gave his father, my brother, Our Lady of the Roses Petal to put on him. The day they received the Petal, he put it on him, and they said he showed a dramatic improvement. However, that night he suffered a setback. He pulled out all the tubes which were attached to him, and he then regressed. He developed pneumonia, and he also had an infection in his lungs. Fortunately, he was taken care of by three Catholic nurses, who faithfully taped the Rose Petal on him.
He gradually improved. First, the severe skull fracture healed--no brain damage, the pneumonia healed, and his hand was operated on and healed very well. The doctors called him "the miracle case." I attribute this all to Our Lady of the Roses and thank Her from the bottom of my heart.

To Our Lady of the Roses:
I happened to get a copy of "Roses." It certainly is edifying and illuminating. I have a group of priests with me who are members of the Institute of the Sacred Heart. We all wish you good luck wishes and prayers for your apostolate. With prayerful regards.
from a priest in India

Dear Veronica and Workers,
I am writing in regards to something we all--my family--consider to be a miracle. We have been following Bayside for about eight years. It has made a big difference in our lives.
Anyhow, My brother and his wife had a baby boy--the child now is three years old. Everything seemed fine, until we discovered he had a very serious heart problem. The doctors took the necessary tests and did not expect him to live one year. His condition was that bad to say the least. We were all upset.
I decided to tell my brother and his wife about Bayside. I sent them a Rose Petal. I also sent a petition to Bayside. They told me they would keep the Petal next to his bed. Since that time, the doctors reports were always a little more encouraging, and on his last visit, the EKG pronounced him as having a normal heart. We are all so thankful and consider this cure to be from Our Lord and Our Lady of the Roses.
I only wish more people would realize the serious times we are living in, and amend their lives. I try to tell as many people as I can about Bayside. Some understand, some don’t. All we can do is to continue to pray for them. And Veronica, please thank Jesus and Our Lady of the Roses for helping us in our time of need.

Dear Veronica,
I was a Southern Baptist, and not practicing, and in the military, when God brought Bayside my way. My husband, whom I met while in the US Coast Guard, told me about Bayside. This was before we were married. He showed me a book his mother gave him, and I bugged him, wanting to know more about it. And I believed it right off.
The great sorrow in my heart for the awful sins I had committed--I did drugs, I drank a lot--I was, I guess you would call wild or lived a worldly life. I also had gotten pregnant and had an abortion. At the time, I wasn’t sure if it were taking a life, but something in me wanted to protect the baby. But I had a lot of pressure on me, and I got the abortion. I was very emotionally disturbed afterwards. When I read the books about all the aborted babies in the garbage cans, it really tore me to pieces. I cried and cried a lot.
I and My husband--still dating--sent a petition to Bayside and came to the grounds to the Vigil in September. I cried a lot. Two breezes hit us and we smelled some very pretty perfume; it was really strong. After we left the grounds, it was still on my mantilla. I still don’t know what it was.
My husband and I were engaged at that time, and I had asked in my petition if I was to marry him or not. My husband, who was raised Catholic, and myself--we got married two months later. I converted one year later to the Roman Catholic religion. I thank God for letting me know and believe these truths. I have since received many outward graces.
from Tennessee

Dear Veronica,
I
send my most grateful thanks to Our Heavenly Mother Mary, and to you as well, that my prayers and requests were heard and answered. I just am extremely happy that you favored me with more Messages. My pious thanks to you. May the bishop acknowledge these apparitions and start the Basilica. This may prove a great turning point to the Church in America and to the bishops and the priests there, and, consequently, also to the whole Catholic Church in the whole world. May your holy Shrine of Our Lady of the Roses prove a great and attractive haven in our modern time. Let us pray, pray, pray. Bless you all.

To Our Lady’s Workers:
Dear friends,
This is a brief note to express my gratitude to you for the complimentary copy of the publication "Roses from Heaven." I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on all the work that you do for Our Lady. With renewed gratitude.
An Auxiliary Bishop from Sacramento, California

To Our Lady of the Roses:
I am, as well as all members of my family--for many generations--Catholic. But it seems, for the past 23 or 24 years, there are two groups of Catholics. The first is the traditional group who are inspired by the true word of Jesus; believe, honor, and love Jesus; and will not alter any written law of the Bible, the Book of Life.
Second, the moderate group. They want to please man, so they make everything nice, easy, and comfortable for the people. No need for sacrifice of any kind. No need to honor Jesus in His House by kneeling at the altar. No need to go to Confession--just receive Holy Communion in the hand, and your sins are forgiven. No need for the Rosary, statues and candles, appropriate dress, etc. They see Jesus as their equal. We are nothing in His presence--even less when we follow the moderate group. Thanks to the moderate bishops, who have caused nothing but chaos and confusion, leaving the true Catholics to seek spiritual guidance elsewhere. I am speaking from experience when I say seeking spiritual guidance elsewhere.
For ten years, I was searching until Bayside. On my first visit to Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine, I was very troubled, very confused and mixed up, weary with very personal problems. I knew I was lacking the faith I so badly needed. I was hungry for Jesus and Mary, and, because of this hunger and the desire to be fed the truth, I was--oh, how I was. Thank you, my Jesus and my Blessed Mother.
I have been to many Vigils since then, have taken many miraculous pictures, have seen very bright, white, luminous doves fly slowly in a V-formation at 9:30 in the evening at the Shrine. I was able to look directly at the dancing sun without harming my eyes. I had a Bible at home for many years--now I was opening it. My eyes were open to all the confusion and understanding it. I searched for a traditional Catholic church and found one not too far from where I lived. Most importantly, I went to Confession after 30 years. I cannot express my feelings, after receiving Holy Communion that Sunday after 30 years. It was like a cleansing of spirit.
Prior to my visits to the Shrine, I had always been close to Our Blessed Mother. Since my visits, I am closer to and know Jesus more than I ever did in my life, and even closer to Our Blessed Mother. I am so thankful for this change, this understanding. I find that I am not afraid to face--come what may--because Jesus is my confidence.
I continue going to the Shrine as often as I can. I love it so dearly, offering decade after decade of Hail Mary’s, Our Fathers, and Glory Be’s for sinners and the salvation of poor souls. No man on earth--materialistic people who prefer power to God, people of the world--can brainwash me into believing what they think is right. This is communism’s way.
I have told you what is true about my experiences and my feelings. I want others to know that Bayside will truly help those who are sincere and love Jesus and Mary, and those who are desperately seeking and need to be enlightened, and even those who have no faith to be converted. All it takes is an open and sincere heart, and then to continually pray the Rosary--to save souls as Our Blessed Mother urgently pleaded with us to do so, for so many years. Thank you.
