Mystical Rose Mission: FIRST COMMUNION: June 6, 2010

Closer my God, to Thee....

Wrapt is my soul in sweet amaze: Jesus, My God, is MINE!

Sweet Sacrament we Thee adore...
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

Thank you for supporting the Rosa Mystica Health Mission

"I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you, always in all my prayers, making supplication for you all, with joy; for your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now. Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus. As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you are all part of my joy. For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all understanding... Philippians 1: 3 - 9

In the service of the sick

"You have certainly seen many times the strength of a Christian faith and of a hope that surpasses visions tied down to this world. The sick understand how human aid gradually slips away from them, that even if they are surrounded, comforted, consoled, no one can reach into their intimate depths. They must suffer their destiny alone. True help can come only from God, from Christ crucified, Who sustains by His grace, and elevates spirit and heart.

"It is very difficult for those unprepared for it, to open their hearts to liberating truth, to renounce every vain revolt of the will, to enter into the redemptive concept in which suffering is regarded as an expiation of guilt, and as a participation in the passion of Christ and in His saving power. Thus Jesus waits for devoted, faithful and vigilant souls to transmit His message, interpret it and make it understood and accepted. In such a way, beloved sons and daughters, a magnificent apostolate is open to your zeal, and We are sure that you have already experienced how in that apostolate your profession follows its highest goal and gains the strength to continue its arduous labor. You will find at the same time the most lasting joys and most intimate consolations of conscience in erecting a work that neither time nor death will destroy.

"That the Divine Comforter may sanctify you with His grace and render you bearers of His heavenly Providence, We impart with all Our heart to you, to your sick, to your dear ones, Our paternal Apostolic Benediction."

Pope Pius XII, Nov. 11, 1955

The ultimate aim of all relief work

"For the complete success of your work, therefore, it is essential that you ever keep in mind the ultimate aim of all relief work, which is not only to alleviate physical suffering, but by means of this material relief to facilitate the spiritual life of man, to make it possible for families, parents and children alike, to rise from conditions that jeopardize the virtues of a healthy home and civil society and tempt to utter despair, and thus to lift up their hearts to their Heavenly Creator, the Author and End of all life. This is the aid most necessary in the restoration of peace."

Pope Pius XII, May 31, 1947
