During the period of november 24 1946 to december 8th 1947 the Blessed Mother appeared to sister Pierina in a Church in Montichiari, Italy. She appeared to the sister 11 times. On the 1st appearance the Blessed Mother told the suster that She wanted to be known as the \" Mystical Rose. \" And that an Hour of Grace should be kept at noon December 8th in all the Catholics Churches of the world. The Blessed Mother wanted to be known throughout all of Italy and the entire world.

On November 16th 1947 when sister was finishing her Thanksgiving after Holy Communion is when she saw a great light. She then saw a vision of the Blessed Mother as the Mystical Rose. Sister was so deeply moved by the stunning beauty of Our Lady that she began to converse with Mary. All of a sudden a gentle force made her kneel down in front of Our Lady. The Blessed Mother spoke these words, \" My Son is so greatly offended by the sins of the people especially by the sins of impurity. He is already planning to send the deluge upon the people for their destruction. But, I have asked Him to show mercy and not send the destruction. So, this is why I have appeared to ask for penance and atonement for the sins of impurity.

It was then that the Blessed Mother asked for an act of humility of sister. She asked her to make the Sign of the Cross with her tongue on each of the four stones in the sanctuary. And Mary said \" This shall be a reminder to the people that I have appeared here and do not have the people step on those stones. \" Blessed Mother then stepped on each of the stones so that her gown touched all four stones. \"

On the 22nd of November, sister felt the overwhelming urge to go to Church at 4PM. The mother superior , four sisters and a group of friends accompanied her. They were saying the Rosary when the Blessed mother appeared as before. She instructed sister to make the Sign of the Cross on the stones and fence them off so that no one would step on them.

Again, Our Lady asked for penance. Mary said, \" Penance is nothing more than accepting all our crosses each day willingly. No matter how small, accept them with love. \" It was at this time Mary told sister to come again * Dec 8th at noon *, as \" This will be my * HOUR OF GRACE * \" . The sister asked how she was to prepare for this Hour of Grace? Blessed Mother responded, \" With prayers and penance. Pray the 51st Psalm with outstretched arms three times. During the Hour of Grace many spiritual graces will be granted. The most hard-hearted with be touched by the grace of God. \" The Blessed Mother further promised that whatever a person asked Her for during the Hour of Grace, even in impossible cases, would be granted to them if it was in accordance with the Will of the Eternal Father.

On Dec 7th when sister felt urged to go to Church, the priest and mother superior went with her. The Blessed Mother appeared with a young boy and girl dressed in beautiful white clothing. Sister was sure these were angels (of course) because they were so beautiful. Blessed Mother said \" Tomorrow, I will show you My Immaculate Heart, which is so little known among the people. \" Mary asked people to pray for Russia. \" There are so many people being held prisoners, which their families known nothing of because they have been gone for so many years. Pray for the conversion of Russia, the sufferings of soldiers and their sacrifices and martyrdom will bring peace to Italy. \" Mary continued \" The little children are Francisco and Jacinta ... \" (as in 2 of the 3 visionaries at Fatima who had passed away many year before this vision ) \" ... I am giving them to you as your companions. You will have much to suffer for my sake. I want simplicity and goodness from you as of these little children. \" The Blessed Mother then blessed sister, the priest and all those who where gathered there.

The morning of Dec 8th saw people gathering at the Church, which was small, as early as 8AM from other towns nearby.By noon, 10,000 people had gathered to see the Blessed Mother. Many had to stand outside the Church due to its size and that of the crowd. Sister was accompanied to the Church by her own mother and brother, the mother superior and (even) the chief of police. The suddenly a briliant white light appeared from the ceiling, with stairs coming from the light down to the floor of the Church, which were about 15 feet in length. The staircase was beautifully with red, white and yellow roses. The Blessed Virgin appeared radiant, dressed in white with Her hands folded. She was standing on a splendid carpet at the top of the stairs made of roses too.

In the Most Gentle and Loving Voice, Our Lady smiled and began to speak, saying \" I am the Immaculate Conception, the Mother of all graces and the Mother of My Beloved Son, Jesus. I want to be known as the Mystical Rose. My wish is that every year on the 8th of December at noon an Hour of Grace will be installed. Many spiritual graces and physical blessings will be received by those who pray - undisturbed - during this hour. \" Then slowly She began to descend the staircase, gracefully scattering roses as She went along, until She reached midway of the staircase. Here again the Blessed Mother spoke, \" I am very happy to see this great demonstration of Faith. \"

Sister asked for many sinners to be forgiven. The Blessed Mother replied, \" My Divine Son will show His Greatest Mercy as much as the people will pray for them. I want this to be known and told to the Pope (Pius XII). Tell him I want him to install the Hour of Grace through the whole world, and even those who are not able to go to Church during this hour, will receive the same graces by praying during this time in their home at noon time. Mary asked that a statue be made and placed on the spot where She stood. This should be called the \" Rosa Mystica \" , and carried in procession through the town, at which time many graces will be given and cures will take place, and then the statue is to be returned to the the Church.

Then Our Lady prayed for the sick (indicating that ?) some would be cured, others not. Many men, women and children were cured at that instant. ... ( There were other miracles during this appearance both physical and spiritual. However this editor is not repeating them all here. The reason is because the appearance and message are deemed more important to share. )

The Blessed Mother said, \" This is the last time I will appear here. Pray, weep and do penance on these stones and you will receive the care of My Mother Heart. \"

She then left the little Church, but because of the Unending Love of Our Heavenly Mother, these graces will be given in reparation for the grievous sins offending Her Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ !
