Cosmic Center Let’s Pray the Rosary Together - A Request from Mother Mary - 12pm on Zoom weekly. The Blessed Virgin Mary plays an important role in salvation history. This becomes quite clear in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which shows Mary wearing a beautiful mantle. She stands atop a crescent moon (a reference to Revelation 12:1). Although we say “Guadalupe,” the word Saint Juan Diego used in describing Mary was “Coatlaxopeuh” which means “she who crushes the serpent.” Mary's Apparitions at Fatima Portugal ended with her initial message with the direction, “Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war".
