through Mary.
Totus Tuus, a Latin phrase meaning “Totally Yours,” was the motto of Saint John Paul II. Taken from St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary, it signifies our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through Mary. The rose holds great significance in relation to the Virgin Mary. Just as the rose is considered the queen of flowers, Mary is often referred to as the "Mystical Rose" or the "Rose Without Thorns." The rose's beauty and fragrance symbolize Mary's purity, grace, and divine motherhood. In Catholic tradition, roses are also associated with the rosary, a prayer dedicated to Mary.
