After receiving a vision through the power of the Holy Spirit at her induction ceremony, one of our Spiritual Mothers was led to begin the ‘White Rose Memorial’ ministry for our deceased Spiritual Mothers. In the vision, Mother Mary placed a white rose on this particular Spiritual Mother’s grave. After much discernment, the Spiritual Mother was led to understand that we give our “Yes” to Our Lady, in part, when we place a white rose into a vase at our induction ceremony and that Mother Mary holds on to our rose from that day forward. Please note the white rose represents the priest-son that the spiritual mother intercedes for, united with our Mother of Sorrows as she suffered to see her Son going through the Passion and dying on the Cross. She gives us back our rose by placing it lovingly on our grave after our death. She does this to thank us for our prayers and sacrifices while here on earth. The Spiritual Mother was also given to understand that once we become a Spiritual Mother, we are always a Spiritual Mother—not only in this life, but also in the next; this is life long commitment —a calling—to spiritual motherhood of priests, to pray for our adopted priest-son each day in this life and forever in eternity.
