There are a number of special services which are only held during the Holy Week. The Office of the Tenebrae is one. It is a dramatic enactment of the play between light and darkness in the Easter story and it is enriched through music and scripture reading.
The Meditation on the Fourteen Stations of the Cross provides us with an opportunity to journey in spirit with Christ on the road to Calvary, and to encounter the different stages of this final initiation. This meditation was recorded by Rev Mario and is available from our online store.
Good Friday is celebrated with a special agapē meal of hot cross buns and wine. On this day, all who attend are co-celebrants with the priests, and the blessing of peace is passed from one person to another.
On Easter Saturday, the holy oil is blessed by the Meriti and priests. This is the holy oil that will be used for anointing and healing during the coming year.
The Blessing of Fire and the Veneration of the Light is a service in which the altar is ceremonially dressed and the Paschal Candle is blessed in preparation for the dawning of Easter day.
On Easter Sunday, the end of Holy Week, we celebrate with joy the resurrection of Christ, the turning point of evolution, and the victory of light over darkness during the Easter Sunday Mystical Cosmic Mass. We are powerfully reminded of the opportunity he has given us to fulfil our destiny and become redeemers of our humanity and co-creators with the Gods.

Rosa Veritas is a spiritual community who recognise that we are spiritual beings living on this earth with a purpose.
Our spiritual teacher, Rev Mario Schoenmaker (1929-1997), gave us esoteric and spiritual teachings to enable us to grow and evolve in understanding and expression of the spirit.
We are located in different parts of the world, primarily Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands, and we meet together in different ways to deepen our ability to live according to the spirit that lives within us.
We believe that the seed of Christ is within each one of us. We know Christ as a free-making spirit that works to heal, uplift and transform our soul-being. We see reincarnation as the unfolding of our eternal soul. We are evolving beings, learning to be whole and free.
We offer different programs and activities: retreats, workshops and devotional services to strengthen our ability to see ourselves and one another as spiritual beings growing into wholeness and freedom.
