Our Blessed Mother manifests herself in many different ways especially under the title of Maria Rosa Mystica.
There are weeping statues of either tears or blood. Some statues exude oil, glitter, honey and milk. People have found themselves covered with glitter. Some say they have seen Her come alive and stand near her statue. You will also feel her presence by the smell of roses. It's a smell that is so beautiful that it just takes your breath away.
We don't always have to see a phystical sign to know that Our Blessed Mother is present with us. She is always manifesting Herself through our lives but we can't see or understand it at times.
I'll share with you my experience with how I received my 38" Maria Rosa Mystica statue. My mom has been a devout follower of Rosa Mystica since around 1991 which is when she began pilgriming Her statue around through families. Recently, my mom's friend felt the need to buy my mother a big (38") Rosa Mystica statue. To make the long story short, I took my mom and a friend to purchase the statue. We then visited a Fatima shrine and we were able to have the statue blessed for my mother. We get home to find that the Blessed Mother's hands were broken. Besides the obvious devastation, we couldn't understand how because we were so careful and she was well protected and we had made that same trip with another friend who purchased that same statue and arrived safely. I called the company and they told me to come back with the broken statue and they were replace with a new one. We arrive for the exchange only to find the attendant was at the shrine earlier and saw us and she told me to keep the statue, fix her hands and she would give us a new one.
I would have never ever imagined that I would have come home with my own statue that day. This is how Our Blessed Mother manifests herself as well using other people. After telling a few people about the statue everyone told me that it was no accident. Our Blessed Mother wanted to come home with me.
Another manifestation that just recently happened. My mom felt the need to give as a gift a pilgrim statue to a lady that she had never met before but they share a mutual friend. This lady has been to alot of apparition spots and is a very spiritual person. She holds every Saturday a prayer group that prays the rosary, reads scripture and go on for hours. When this lady first saw the statue she just was flooded with emotion. When I handed the statue to her, she felt Our Blessed Mother's presence so strongly that she could barely stand. She placed the statue in a corner and I tell you that the statue took on a more vivid appearance. It was like she just came alive. I was mesmerized and told the lady that Our Blessed Mother really did want to be there! We were just instruments to make it happen.
