What is the Rose of Perfect Purity?
The reception of the rose of perfection is geared towards a deeper commitment to live the life of Christian perfection through the observance of Christian virtues.
By this act, they are called to renew their commitment to the Agonizing Jesus Christ and strive towards a deeper union with Him through a life of total self-giving whereby they offer their lives as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.
The Holy Rose or the Rose of Perfect Purity is a source of grace that Jesus pours on souls consecrated to His Precious Blood to help them live the virtues and attain holiness.
* It is a call to Holiness * It is a call to Perfection. * It is a call to Purity.
* It is an act of great commitment and holy disposition for a profound change.

1. Must have been consecrated to the Precious Blood, at least Three years.
2. Fulfilled the Novena of the Great Month of July each year since your Consecration.
3. Fully live out the life of the six calls.
4. Those who are deemed suitable to receive the rose of perfect purity shall attend and complete two formation programs known as the training on Christian virtues and training on Contemplation, otherwise known as silence training. (these must be attended to in person and cannot be on-line).
Our Lord tells us: (Message of July 1, 2001)
“Children, here I come to offer you the Rose of Perfect Purity. This is the Rose of Holiness. My Mother had been pleading that this should be offered to you in the past years. I looked and saw your unwillingness to accept it. But now I can see your little growth. I can see you passing the stage of spiritual drowsiness. I can see you growing in love. Look, I am offering you all the Rose of Perfect Purity. All My lovers shall embrace it. With this Rose of Purity, the world will know you as My consolers. Through you all, the new perfume of holiness will spread all over the world. This is the Glorious Reign I call you all to spread”.
“This gift of the Rose of Perfect Purity is a holy gift, which My lovers will always receive from Me on the days of the renewal of their Consecration. This is the only gift you will receive more than once from the Hands of your Master”.
Our Lady says: (Message of July 13, 2001)
“Anyone who neglects this order calls down my sorrowful tears upon himself/herself. The hands that offer and the hands that receive it unworthily pierce the two Hearts of Love. Children, let my vision of this precious rose come true. I appeal to you that my tears will not be in vain. Jesus is looking to see your perfection. Do not seek to gather many people; train up the holy nation little by little. May Jesus see the pure love of perfection in the hearts of all who receive this Holy Rose”.
· It is spoken of for the first time: (July 1, 2001)

· The Lord sees change in his people and gives the Rose of holiness or of Perfect Purity.
·This rose replaces the Agonizing crucifix and the insignia during renewal of Consecration.

The Fourteen Voices of God’s judgement: :
• Our Lord warns that, “If you abuse any of the petals of this Holy Rose, know that you have abused the heavenly gift”.
• Pledge to be natural and holy.
• Pledge Incorruptibility of your body at death.
• Withdraw the Rose. The Mother may withdraw it from anyone who fails to be pure and chaste; or she may keep it and be a torture to him at his death.
For those who have received the Rose of Perfect Purity, they should pray daily:
“Eternal Father, I kiss this Perfect Rose with love. (Here kissing the Rose) This Rose that Your Love has offered me, reminds me of my vow of purity. I offer its merits, together with the sufferings of the martyrs of chastity in union with the Most Precious Blood of Your Son, Jesus, for the purity of Your Priests and Religious, and for the purity of all Your people. Amen”.
Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…
The Cross of Perfection (July 21, 2000)
“Children, the cross that is not accepted is My agony that is not consoled. The agony that is not consoled is martyrdom I am suffering for you. You suffer even greatly by avoiding your crosses, because you are not moving. The weight of the cross falls on you. Children, I instantly withdraw the cross that is accepted and offer you a new cross so as to draw consolation from you. What I gain from your cross is the consolation I draw from it. This is why I withdraw the cross instantly and offer you a new cross. The cross I left on you after you have accepted it gives Me much consolation and yields you multiple graces. Sanctifying graces follow you the moment you accept your cross with love. Children, surrender to every cross”.
“You do Me great wrong by avoiding your crosses.”
Sufferings endured in patient resignation or joy, united to the Holy Cross of Christ are signs of eternal glory. To reject sufferings, sacrifices, humiliations and mortifications in this life is to walk the broad and easy path that leads to destruction. (Mt. 7:13-14)
Model for carrying our own crosses. Four graces.
- The Cross of Humility (July 25, 2000) Cornerstone of all virtues.
We are called to humble ourselves to the lowest position in imitation of Christ.
“Humility goes before glory” (Prov 15:33). Imitation of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Saints.
“Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart” (Mt 11:29).
- The Cross of Forgiveness (July 23, 2000) Requirement for entrance into Heaven.
“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive those who trespass against us” (Mt 6:12).
Imitation of Christ, Apostles and Martyrs. You are to forgive the unforgivable.
- The Cross of Truth (July 24, 2000) Nothing false should come out of our mouth.
“All followers of Christ must always be truthful” (Eph 4:24-25).
Imitation of Christ and the Virgin Mary. Truth is the Being, the Good, the Way, the Life.
- The Cross of Love (July 22, 2000) Love is the Ultimate commandment.
“Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors” (Mt 5:44).
Offer for enemies: Masses, prayers, fasting, works of mercy.
Love is an imitation of Christ who died for Love.
