On the hill of Tepeyac in December 1531, Spanish roses bloomed in the Mexican desert and in the gentle hands of Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, they became a sign and image to the world of the sanctity and dignity of each and every person. Here, in Hope’s Garden, as women come to know Christ their Bridegroom and claim their true identity as His Brides, they bloom and become a beautiful fragrant bouquet of Living Roses for Him. His Living Roses are a sign for our time of the transformative and healing power of His spousal love.
The Sisterhood of Mary, Mystical Rose of God
The Sisterhood of Mary, Mystical Rose of God, is a community of women who have come to know Christ as their Bridegroom and desire to pray and work for the mission of Hope’s Garden. As a community we meet weekly to continue growing in our devotion to the Bridegroom, to learn about God’s vision of spousal love, and to pray the Rosary for the healing of hearts, marriages, and families. Together, with Jesus and Mary, we hold all the Bridegroom’s Roses of Tepeyac in our hearts and accompany them on their healing journey.
“On October 22, 2019, the feast of Saint John Paul the Great, I was blessed to pass beneath the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe twice. I asked our Lady to enfold all her dear Son’s wounded Roses in her mantle of comfort and protection, to make her loving presence known to them, and to guide the creation of His garden of Hope. Thank you, Mother Mary, for always hearing and answering our prayers.” – Laura
As you pass beneath the loving gaze of Our Lady of Guadalupe, please entrust your heart, all whom you carry within your heart, and the Bridegroom’s wounded Roses to our Mother of Hope.
