Dear Man Foundation,

I would just like to let you know of the beautiful experience myself and some friends had at the Rosa Mystica House of Prayer this past November. During the weekend of the 17th a group of myself and three other friends visited the House of Prayer. I have always loved Our Blessed Mother and had a special devotion to Rosa Mystica which prompted my visiting the shrine for my 26th birthday. Myself and three friends drove four hours from Staten Island to the shrine. I was expecting quiet, prayer, and place of grace but never expected the abundance of graces we recieved. I felt such love and peace in that special chapel. We were treated so kindly by both Bobby and his lovely wife and experienced the Holy Spirit while they prayed with us. They anointed us with the miraculous oil and the fragrance was so beautiful. Through prayer, certain personal things were discerned and I really felt that our one night in the shrine was a true retreat, an authentic pilgrimage. The statue of Our Lady, Rosa Mystica just truly took my breathe away. Through the Focus Programs and through word of mouth we learned of this amazing gift Heaven is giving this country at this time through Rosa Mystica. Months ago my friends and I have started trying to pray together on the 13th in response to Mary-Rosa Mystica. We are really cultivating the devotion. During that intial stage I wrote to several different apostolates about the Rosa Mystica statue. Ths was about 3-4 months ago. I always asked Our Lady through my novenas to find a beautiful Rosa Mystica statue but to avail. On November 13th, three days before my birthday and before we left for Edmeston on the 17th I received a beautiful Rosa Mysica statue from Germany in the mail! It was such an amazing gift! God is doing great things. I will try and support your ministry with any help I could give, as small as it is, and with my prayers. God bless and thank you for all of your work!!!! I am trying to get back to the shrine as soon as I can but I am in school and work two jobs so things are hectic. Please keep me in your prayers!

Thanks again,

Joseph Rizzi
