Your Rose to Our Lady
for the Unborn

 
Dear Friend,

Don't miss the chance to send your rose to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Join us in reaffirming our courageous and passionate stand in defense of the unborn!

Just 2 weeks left until the roses will be delivered on February 29th! 

One of the fruits of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s apparitions in the 1500s was to convert millions of  Aztecs and crush their practice of human sacrifice!

We are horrified to hear stories of the Aztecs, who cut out the hearts of their victims and lodged their heads upon poles to appease their pagan gods.

But are we not also living in a culture of death now?

Is the slaughter of millions of innocent unborn children through the practice of abortion any different than the human sacrifice of the Aztecs?

The sin of abortion has claimed more than 1.5 billion innocent lives worldwide just in the last 38 years. In America alone, more than 60 million children have been massacred since Roe vs. Wade made abortion legal in 1973.

As hundreds of thousands of Americans march for life this month in Washington D.C. and other cities throughout America, offer a rose and our personal intentions to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Unborn, on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. Let us beseech her to crush the horrific practice of abortion, and to grant hope to all women who are considering it.

Our Lady, by appearing as an expectant mother, showed the Aztecs that human life is sacred. She wore a black maternity band around her waist, and around her neck hung a black cross, to represent that she is a bearer and a follower of the One True God.

Our Lady of Guadalupe’s message of conversion brought a new dignity to the Aztec people. No longer did they worship the pagan gods of sacrifice. Instead, they turned away from their evil practices and toward Our Lord Jesus Christ. From 1531-1538, eight million natives of Mexico converted to Catholicism!

Now, let us pray fervently for an end to abortion in our times. Offer Our Lady a rose and ask her to intercede for us in ending our culture of death and in saving innocent souls!

One of our team members has a great devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. He will be making his annual pilgrimage to visit the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe at her Shrine in Mexico City.

And this provides you and me with an amazing opportunity to show our love to Our Blessed Mother and to offer an act of homage to her on behalf of the innocent unborn.

This is where your rose offering comes in. You can send one rose for or many for $3 each to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Each rose is offered on behalf of one unborn child.

It is a wonderful spiritual experience for you and me, and it would be very pleasing to Our Blessed Mother, who herself lovingly gifted Juan Diego with roses from the frozen ground during her apparitions in the winter of 1531.

What mother is not pleased when receiving a fragrant rose from her children?

Cardinal Raymond Burke, a great devotee of Our Lady of Guadalupe, highlights:

“At the time of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe, it was ignorance of the faith that was leading the Native Americans to violate the natural moral law through the diabolical practice of massive human sacrifice.”

Today it is once again ignorance and lack of faith that is leading men and women to “commit acts of violence against their innocent and defenseless brothers and sisters who are depending upon them for protection and care!”

“Our Lady of Guadalupe taught both the Native Americans and the Europeans the mystery of God’s mercy and love and thus drew them together in love of one another, into unity and peace, as one people of God.”

Last year 6,243 roses were presented to Our Lady at her miraculous shrine in Mexico City.

Let’s load up my colleague, John, with more roses than last year and even more intentions to place before the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.

May Our Lady of Guadalupe bless you and your loved ones! And may she see our roses and hear our prayers.

Your friend in Jesus and Mary,
