A special day of graces (December 8th)

In honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception tomorrow, I am sharing the following piece forwarded by Josie.  Thank you, Best Girl Friend!

December 08 / A Special Day of Graces
Revelation of Maria Rosa Mystica (1947)
(Our Ladys Words are in Italics & Dated)

 
The Hour of Grace for the Whole World: Our Lady appeared and made known to a chosen soul named Pierina Gilli on two separate occasions (November 22, 1947 and December 08, 1947) in the Cathedral of Montichiari, Italy about an important event which would be a source of special graces called “The Hour of Grace.” This Hour of Grace is to be celebrated at Church (Any Catholic Church within your area) every year on December 08 at Noon (Between 12pm - 1pm). The graces associated with this exercise are; great and numerous conversions will occur (Souls, totally hardened, cold as marble, will be touched by divine grace and become faithful and god-loving again) and in Our Ladys own words "...With this practice one will obtain many spiritual and corporal (bodily) graces. Our Lord my Divine Son Jesus, will grant His greatest mercy, as long as the good people continue to pray for their sinful brothers." 12/08/1947 Message. Our Lady desires PRAYER (intention being for the conversion of sinners) during this time (Hour of Grace) in order to achieve the graces promised.

ANOTHER OPTION: “…Those who cannot be in their Church, even remaining in their homes at midday (12pm-1pm), praying, will obtain graces from me.”12/08/1947 Message.

INSTRUCTIONS: It is required that in order to participate in this Hour of Grace promised by Our Lady, the individual is to respond as Our Lady mentioned and that is through a proper preparation which is to begin on November 22 and end on December 8. This preparation involves prayer and penance, Our Lady emphasized that everyday people must recite 3 times Psalm #51 in the Bible (known as the Miserere) with open arms. Our Lady replied like this to a request for Grace: “Spiritual Graces will be given…” 11/22/1947 Message.  

CELEBRATING THE HOUR OF GRACE (PRAYER OPTIONS):
The Mass, The Holy Rosary, or any other favorite devotions during this period.

 
HELP SPREAD THE MESSAGE: “It is my wish that this hour of grace be publicized (make known) and spread throughout the whole world.” 12/08/1947 Message. “Very soon one will know how important this hour of grace is.” 12/08/1947 Message.

OUR LADYS PROMISE: “I have an abundance of graces ready for all those children who hear my voice and take my wishes to heart.” 12/08/1947 Message.  

1973 EXCERPT MESSAGES

I ask for abundant blessings upon all those who are courageously committed to fulfill my wishes, as I have already manifested. To all these children I promise my motherly love with the graces from the Lord.”  07/22/1973 Message.

HOUR OF GRACE MIRACULOUS HEALINGS (REVEALED): Our Lady announced on November 22, 1947 that she will appear on December 08, 1947 at noon (Hour of Grace) in the parish church at Montichiari. The Miraculous Healing Stories that will now be shared during this Apparition (December 08, 1947) which you are about to read are excerpts (pages 25-27) from a book called,“Maria Rosa Mystica,” Montichiari-Fontanelle by; Norman C. Reeves & Irmgard Muske.

HEALINGS AT THE CHURCH: Parents brought to the church a boy of about five or six years who was suffering from polio (disease affecting brain and spinal cord) and could not stand or walk, and other parents brought their daughter, about twenty six years old, who had suffered since she was twelve years old from severe tuberculosis (communicable disease, that affects especially the lungs). She had not been able to utter a single word for the last nine years.  
Both were in the same moment completely healed.  
The girl who had not been able to speak a word for the past nine years now sang with full voice a song of praise. Since then she has been able to sing and speak without any difficulty.
 
The parents of the boy carried him in their arms into the church, now he could stand and walk. Later on he was shown in pubic from a balcony to the rejoicing crowd in the big square in front of the church. The whole crowd was deeply stirred when they saw the child jump up and down. He declared: “I have seen Our Lady in the church and she smiled at me benevolently.”
 
Since that time both have been in good health. The boy married some years ago and the girl has become a pious God fearing nun who is living only to expiate for the religious orders and priests.  

A Third Miracle
 

HEALINGS AT HOME: This happened during the time of the appearance of Our Lady (Hour of Grace; 12pm-1pm), not in the church of Montichiari, but in a private home of the town. A girl of about thirty six years was healed at home during the time of the apparition. From childhood on she was not normal but also not completely mentally disturbed. She could not speak, but the worst thing was, that she had no control over her bodily functions.

Her sister in law had to stay at home with her while her father went to the cathedral to the anticipated appearance of Our Lady. Her sister in law prayed the holy rosary at the time of the appearance, and exclaimed spontaneously: “Our dear Lady, if you are really present in the church of Montichiari, please, heal this poor sick girl!” In the same moment the sick person was healed completely. She was healed forever! Loud and full of joy she prayed with her sister in law the holy rosary to the end. When the father came home from the church he was astonished and full of joy upon seeing his daughter healed.  
This miracle especially caused a sensation and was later on declared to be the most important one by several physicians, as in this case any mass suggestion had to be excluded. The healing was lasting. The girl died some years later; but one of her brothers is still alive and can witness to all this.
