Spiritual Rose

The "Rosa Mystica" is the spiritual perfection of the soul, a blossom that grows in the garden of the Church without the thorns of original sin. This title suggests that these virtues possess a fragrance that can sweeten even the most bitter lives. Unlike the flowers of the field that wither, this spiritual rose blooms eternally in the light of the Beatific Vision. It represents the truth that beauty is a divine attribute, and that a life lived in grace is the most beautiful thing in creation. This is the flower that points to the gardener, inviting us all to bloom in the soil of holiness.
