Dear Children of the Queen of Peace;
What a journey we have been on! Many souls are suffering, and I know you all have made the novenas we have done for years, a part of your daily life. You have been trained. However, we shall join again to gather a beautiful spiritual bouquet for Our Lady, as a special novena we are being called to do at this very turbulent time in world history. Along with praying for our Pope, Cardinals, Bishops and Priests, continue to pray for peace, and for America, and all nations, and leaders who are constantly under attack, including our president and current leadership. The enemy wants to take America down. May our prayers hold us up to Our Lady, that she may be crowned Our Queen, and may we serve in her plan for peace!

The best explanation of the "Rosa Mystica" in relation to Her Priests was in the second apparition, (which I have pasted in purple) details in link below.
Here she paused, then she went on, "Our Lord sends me to bring a new Marian devotion for all male and female institutes, religious orders, and secular priests. I promise those religious institutes, orders, and secular priests who venerate me in this special way my special protection, an increase of spiritual vocations, fewer betrayed vocations, and great sanctity among the servants of God. I wish the 13th of each month to be celebrated as the day of Mary.
On the twelve preceding days, special prayers of preparation should be said."
With an expression of great joy, she went on, "On this day I shall send to these religious institutes, members of orders, and secular priests who have honored me in this way, a superabundance of graces and great sanctity. I wish the 13th of July of each year to be celebrated in honor of the 'Rosa Mystica,' the Mystical Rose."
Pierina asked whether she would perform a miracle. Our Lady answered, "The most evident miracle will be the godly souls, who for some time, especially during the last war, became lukewarm, so that they were unfaithful or even betrayed their vocation, will cease to offend Our Lord gravely. By their great offenses, they brought punishment and persecution upon the Church-----as we experience it in our days-----but then the original spirit of their holy founders will blossom again." With these words the conversation ended. Now Our Lady explained to Pierina the meaning of the three swords and the three roses. A moving explanation which is to taken quite seriously!
The first sword means loss of the vocation as a priest or a monk. The second sword means priests, monks, and nuns who live in deadly sin. The third sword means priests and monks who commit the treason of Judas. While giving up their vocation, they often lose also their faith, their eternal beatitude, and become enemies of the Church. The white rose means the spirit of prayer. The red rose means the spirit of expiation and sacrifice. The yellow or golden rose means the spirit of penitence.
