Catholic Prayer Partners, I was first made aware of this special devotion two nights ago during a First Friday vigil service. In 1947 Our Blessed Mother requested one hour of fervent prayer starting at 12noon on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. The person making the Hour of Grace prayer, must put away all distractions, and totally concentrate on his/her union with God. We are further instructed to begin the Hour of Grace by praying three times the 51st Psalm with out-stretched arms. Then the rest of the hour may be spent in silent communication with God meditating upon the Passion of Jesus, saying the Rosary, praising God in your own way, or by favorite prayers, singing hymns, or meditating upon other psalms, etc. Seventh Apparition on 8th December, 1947: On this great feast, countless priest were present. It was only with a great deal of effort that Pierina was able to get into the Basilica. She knelt in the center of the church, just where the other apparitions had taken place. During the recitation of the Holy Rosary, Pierina called out: Oh, Our Lady! Great silence ensued! Our Lady appeared on a large white staircase, decorated with a white, red and yellow rose. She said with a smile: I am the Immaculate Conception. And descending several steps with great majesty, she continued: I am Mary, full of grace, Mother of my Divine Son, Jesus Christ. Descending even more, she said: Through my coming to Montichiari, I wish to be known as the ROSA MYSTICA. It is my wish that every year, on the 8th of December, at noon, the HOUR OF GRACE FOR THE WORLD be celebrated . Many divine and bodily graces will be received through this devotion. Our Lord, my Divine Son Jesus, will send His overflowing mercy if good people will pray continuously for their sinful brothers. One should very soon notify the Holy Father of the Church, Pope Pius XII, that it is my wish that the HOUR OF GRACE FOR THE WORLD be made known and spread throughout the world. If anyone is unable to visit his church, yet will pray at noon at home, he will also receive graces through me. Whoever prays on these tiles and weeps tears of penance, will find a secure heavenly ladder and receive protection and grace through my motherly heart. Then Our Lady showed Pierina her heart and said: Look at this heart, which loves mankind so very much, but most people only shower offenses upon it. If the good and the bad unite in prayer they will obtain mercy and peace through this heart. The Lord is still protecting the good and is holding back a great punishment because of my intercession. Our Lady smiled again and went on: Soon one will recognize the greatness of this Hour of Grace.
