Oremus
Deus, creator et conservator generis humani, dator gratiae
spiritualis, et largitor aeternae salutis, benedictione tua
sancta bene+dic has rosas, quas pro gratiis tibi exsolvendis cum devotione ac veneration beatae semperque Virginis Mariae, ejusque Rosarii, hodie tibi praesentamus et
petimus benedici: et infunde eis per virtutem sanctae
Cru+cis benedictionem caelestem, qui eas ad odoris
suavitatem, et repellendas infirmitates humano usui tribuisti: talemque signaculo sanctae Cru+cis benedictionem
accipiant, ut, quibuscumque in infirmitatibus appositae
fuerint, seu qui eas in domibus suis portaverint, ab infirmitate sanentur: discedant diaboli, contremiscant et fugiant pavidi cum suis ministries ab habitationibus illis,
nec amplius tibi servientes inquietare praesumant. Per
Christum Dominum nostrum.
R. Amen
Evangelio Lc. 1,39
En aquellos días, se levantó María y se fue con prontitud
a la región montañosa, a una ciudad de Judá; entró en
casa de Zacarías y saludó a Isabel.
Y sucedió que, en cuanto oyó Isabel el saludo de María,
saltó de gozo el niño en su seno, e Isabel quedó llena de
Espíritu Santo; y exclamando con gran voz, dijo: "Bendita
tú entre las mujeres y bendito el fruto de tu seno;
y ¿de dónde a mí que la madre de mi Señor venga a mí?
Porque, apenas llegó a mis oídos la voz de tu saludo, saltó
de gozo el niño en mi seno.
¡Feliz la que ha creído que se cumplirían las cosas que le
fueron dichas de parte del Señor!"
Y dijo María: "Engrandece mi alma al Señor
y mi espíritu
2 se alegra en Dios mi Salvador.
ORACIÓN A MARÍA ROSA MÍSTICA
Oh María, Rosa Mística, Madre de Jesús y también Madre nuestra! Tú eres nuestra esperanza,
nuestra fortaleza y nuestro consuelo. Danos desde el cielo tu maternal bendición en el nombre
del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, Amén.
Rosa Mística, Inmaculada Virgen , Madre de la gracia, en honor de tu Divino Hijo, nos
postramos ante Ti, para implorar la misericordia de Dios. No por nuestros méritos, sino por la
bondad de tu Corazón maternal, pedimos ayuda y gracias, con la seguridad de ser escuchados.
Rosa Mística, Madre de Jesús, Reina del Santo Rosario y Madre de la Iglesia, Cuerpo Místico
de Jesucristo. Te pedimos para el mundo destrozado por las discordias, el don de la unión, de la
paz y de todas las gracias que pueden convertir los corazones de tantos hijos tuyos.
Rosa Mística, Madre de los apóstoles, haz florecer alrededor de los altares eucarísticos, numerosas vocaciones sacerdotales y religiosas, que con la santidad de su vida y el celo ardiente por las
almas, puedan extender el Reino de tu Hijo Jesús por todo el mundo. Derrama, Oh Madre sobre
nosotros tus dones celestiales.
Salve, Oh Rosa Mística, Madre de la iglesia, ruega por nosotros.
PRAYER TO THE ROSA MYSTICA
Rosa Mystica, Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Grace, in honor of thy Divine Son, we prostrate
ourselves at thy feet to implore God's mercy. We beg for help and grace, not relying on any
merit of ours, but on the kindness of thy motherly heart, and confident that thou will grant our
urgent requests.
Rosa Mystica, Mother of Jesus, Queen of the Holy Rosary and Mother of the Church, of the
Mystical Body of Christ, we implore the gifts of unity and peace for the anxious world, and
those graces so able to convert the souls of thy erring children.
Rosa Mystica, Queen of the Apostles, cause numerous priestly and religious vocations to
flower round the Eucharistic altars of the Church, so that those called may, by the holiness of
their lives, and their burning zeal for the salvation of souls, extend the Kingdom of Thy Son
Jesus throughout the world. Pour out thy Heavenly grace upon us!
Rosa Mystica, Mother of the Church, pray for us!
With Eccles. Approval and Imprimatur

O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of the true God and Mother of the Church!, who from this place
reveal your clemency and your pity to all those who ask for your protection, hear the prayer that we address to you with filial trust, and present it to your Son Jesus, our sole Redeemer.
Mother of Mercy, Teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, to you, who come to meet us sinners, we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, our
infirmities and our sorrows. Grant peace, justice and prosperity to our peoples; for we entrust to your
care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. We wish to be entirely yours and to walk
with you along the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ in His Church; hold us always with your
loving hand.
Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray to you for all the Bishops, that they may lead the
faithful along paths of intense Christian life, of love and humble service of God and souls. Contemplate
this immense harvest, and intercede with the Lord that He may instill a hunger for holiness in the whole
people of God, and grant abundant vocations of priests and religious, strong in the faith and zealous dispensers of God’s mysteries.
Grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with
which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect our families, so that they may always be united, and bless the upbringing of our children.
Our hope, look upon us with compassion, teach us to go continually to Jesus and, if we fall, help us to
rise again, to return to Him, by means of the confession of our faults and sins in the Sacrament of Penance, which gives peace to the soul.
We beg you to grant us a great love for all the holy Sacraments, which are, as it were, the signs that your
Son left us on earth.
Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and
hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which come to us from your son, our Lord
Jesus Christ, who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen. Pope John Paul II

world and in our own heart. With great hope, we
turn to you and trust in you.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee,

Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino S.J. (Aug.10, 1645–March 15, 1711)
was a Catholic priest who became famous in what is now northwestern Mexico and the southwestern United States (primarily northern Sonora and southern Arizona) for his exploration of
the region and for his work to Christianize the indigenous Native American population, including primarily the Sobaipuri and other Upper Piman groups. He proved that Baja California is
not an island by leading an overland expedition there from Arizona. He established twentyfour missions and visitas ("country chapels") and was known for his ability to create relationships between indigenous peoples and the religious institutions he represented.
Kino was born Eusebio Francesco Chini (the name Kino was the German version of his last
name, also handy for use in Spanish-speaking domains, where the Italian digraph <ch> would
suggest a pronunciation /tʃ/ rather than /k/) on August 10, 1645, in Segno, today frazione of Taio, a
village in the Val di Non in the Bishopric of Trent (Austrian Empire) now in present-day Italy. Kino
was educated in Innsbruck, Austria, and after recuperating from a serious illness, he joined
the Society of Jesus on November 20, 1665. From 1664-1669 he received his religious training
atFreiburg, Ingolstadt, and Landsberg, Bavaria and was ordained a priest on June 12, 1677, at
Eistady, Austria. Although he wanted to go to the Orient, he was ordered to establish a mission on
the northern frontier of New Spain(today's northern Sonora and southern Arizona). Father Kino
departed Spain in 1681 with that purpose in mind. He led the Atondo expedition to lower California. After a drought in 1685, Kino was forced back to Mexico City.
In addition to his pastoral activities as a missionary, Eusebio Kino also practiced other crafts and
was an expertastronomer, mathematician and cartographer, who drew the first accurate maps
of Pimería Alta, the Gulf of California and Baja California. Father Kino enjoyed making model
ships out of wood. His knowledge of maps and ships led him to believe that Mexican Indians could
easily access California by sea, a view that was taken with skepticism by Mexico
City missionaries. When Father Kino proposed that a boat be made and pushed across
theSonoran desert and to the Mexican west coast, a controversy arose, as many of his comissionares questioned Father Kino's mental abilities.
Father Kino arrived in Sonora in 1687 to work with the Pima, and he quickly established the
first Catholic church in that province. Kino traveled across Northern Mexico and
to California and Arizona. Roads were built to connect previously inaccessible areas. His many
expeditions on horseback covered over 50,000 square miles (130,000 km²), during which he
mapped an area 200 miles (300 km) long and 250 miles (400 km)
wide, and deduced that Lower California was a peninsula. Up until
Kino's arrival in Sonora, it was believed that Baja California, like Isla
de Mujeres, was an island and not apeninsula that was actually attached to the North American continent.

Fr. Kino S.J. on horseback, Phoenix, AZ.
Father Kino led the first ground expedition to Baja California, proving that the
previous assumption about that area was wrong. A fervent believer in the idea
that Indians needed better ways of living, Kino was important in the economic
growth of Sonora at the time, teaching the Indians the basics of farming and
bringing them farm animals and seeds. Indeed his initial herd of 20 imported
cattle in Pimería Alta grew during his time there to 70,000, establishing him,
according to Arizona State University Professor Peter Horwath, as the "First
Cowboy."One fact that is widely known about Kino is that he fought hard for
the Sonoran Indians, opposing the hard labor in silver mines that the Spaniards had imposed on them. This also caused great controversy among his comissionares, many of whom acted according to the laws imposed by Spain on
their new territory. Father Kino was also a writer, authoring books on religion,
astronomy and maps. He built missions extending from the interior of Sonora
150 miles (240 km) northeast to San Xavier del Bac, still standing and functioning as a Catholic parish near Tucson. He constructed 19 rancheras, which
supplied cattle to new settlements. He was also instrumental in the return of
the Jesuits to California in 1697.

Legacy
Father Kino has been honored both in Mexico and the United States, with various towns, streets,
schools, monuments, and geographic features named after him. In 1965, a statue of Father Kino
was donated to theUnited States Capitol's National Statuary Hall collection, one of two statues
representing Arizona. Another statue of him stands above Kino Parkway, a major thoroughfare
in Tucson. Another equestrian statue featuring Kino stands in Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza across
from the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix. A time capsule is encapsuled in the base. The towns
of Bahía Kino and Magdalena de Kino in Sonora are named in his honor. Padre Kino is also the
name of Mexico's best known table wine. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz wrote a sonnet about his astronomical work in observing a comet.

The Institute of Christ the King is a society of apostolic life of pontifical right in
canonical form and was founded in 1990 by Monsignor Gilles Wach and Father Philippe
Mora in Gabon, Africa, where we still have missions. Today, the motherhouse and international
seminary of the Institute is located in Gricigliano, in the Archdiocese of Florence, Italy.
Recognizing the importance of a deep harmony between faith, liturgy, life, and the
power of beauty in attracting the human senses to the things above, an integral part of
the Institute’s charism is the use of the traditional Latin Liturgy of 1962 for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the other sacraments. Great care for a solemn liturgy, complete fidelity to the doctrine of the Church and the Holy Father, and awareness of the central role of
Grace, especially Charity – these are essential elements of the Institute’s spirituality, which is
drawn from its three co-patrons, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Francis de Sales. Our
motto, taken from St. Paul, is “Live the truth in charity." The Institute operates in more than
fifty places in twelve countries, where our priests focus on the care of souls in many different ways. To assist our priests in their apostolic work, the Institute also has clerical oblates.
In 2004, a community of religious sisters was canonically established to aid the priests in their
mission through prayer and apostolic work.
"The mission of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is to spread the reign of
Christ in all spheres of human life by drawing from the millennial treasury of the Roman
Catholic Church, particularly her liturgical tradition, the unbroken line of spiritual thought
and practice of her saints, and her cultural patrimony in music, art and architecture. The Institute accomplishes this primarily through a solid and well-rounded formation of its priests,
rooted in Catholic tradition and carried out at its international seminary in the Archdiocese of
Florence. Our priests, conscious of the need for their own sanctification, strive to be instruments of God’s grace through their apostolic work discharged in the churches assigned to the
Institute, its schools, its missions in Africa, by preaching retreats, teaching catechesis, and providing spiritual guidance. The Institute of Christ the King operates under the patronage of
the Immaculate Conception to Whom it is consecrated."
Having been invited to Tucson in 2008 by Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas, the Institute serves
8 has established a canonical residence,
at St. Gianna Oratory /Holy Family Church and
under the name of the “Priory of Our Lady of Guadalupe” in Tucson.
