Laura reads St. John of the Cross' poem "The Romances".

Father Michael Stalla joins Laura to discuss healing and spiritual direction.

In verses 6:8-6:10 of the Song of Songs, the Bridegroom praises the beauty of His Bride's spiritual strength. These verses so fittingly describe the Blessed Virgin Mary. But they also describe the spiritual strength Jesus desires to help us achieve.

Ponder with Laura the self-gift Jesus the Divine Bridegroom offered to His apostles at the Last Supper and continues to offer to each of us in the Holy Mass.

Laura explains how verses 4:6 to 5:1 of The Song of Songs can be read as Jesus' praise of His Bride, the Church.

Join Laura and the women of the Sisterhood of Mary, Mystical Rose of God on retreat. Journey with them into the depths of your heart where the Bridegroom dwells.

Our journey with Christ is an ascent up the mountain of God. At the summit is the entrance to the eternal wedding feast. Along the way, Jesus offers us healing and deepening relationship with Him. And, of course, there are trials, obstacles, and dangers on the path.

In this talk taken from a Brides of Christ Scripture study of The Song of Songs, Laura Ercolino, shares insights on applying this analogy to our daily life.

"I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete." John 15:11

Jesus and Mary wait for you in Cana. Bring them the water of your tears and experience the healing love of Jesus as He transforms the water of your tears into the wine of divine joy.

When we pray, the Lord listens and responds. As I have been praying the Hope's Garden, "Womb of My Heart Rosary", I have been meditating on the power of prayer and what it is that I am asking of God when I pray. What does it truly mean to ask for a heart that is like Mary's womb? In this excerpt from a Hope's Garden gathering, I share my reflection on these questions and more.

You can pray the "Womb of My Heart Rosary" too. It is available in the Hope's Garden Prayer Book on Amazon.
