I Give you Myself, in the Eucharist

Jesus: My dear ones,

I am forever with you, hear the gentle
voice within your heart say, I love you
I love you, I love you.

My grace I outpour to each of you in the Eucharist.
Come to the Eucharistic Heart
of Jesus Christ. I will shelter
you from the storm.

I am Jesus, your Savior, My grace
    I pour out to you in abundance
    at Mass. This is My body given
    up for you and I remain with you
    this day, in the Holy Eucharist, in
    My Divinity and humanity no less
    present than the day I walked this
    earth. Who are you to be so
    favored to come here?

You are My chosen ones. I love you with
an endless burning love. These are My
beloved priest-sons, given such honor through
Me to change bread and wine into My Body
and Blood. My Father, and the Holy Spirit,
and My Mother Mary are present with you in
this Mass, all the Angels and Saints. Do
you even comprehend what goes on here,
do you understand even a minute amount,
you would be in tears. My children, My
children, how you are loved, by the
Almighty God. He is present with
you, bend low, fall on your knees
and praise your God: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. Mary is present and with you.
How I love you My beloved ones.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

After Communion

R. We are one in Him, joined in such union —

Sing: One Bread, One Body

R. We are fed in the Eucharist

Jesus says: "I give you Myself"

R. Unity with Jesus in the Eucharist
Let your heart burn in love in your hearts —
Love From the Divine Lord —

Sing: One Bread, One Body

Eucharistic Message

Jesus: My dear, precious ones:

    I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never die. I give you Myself. I give you My Body and Blood in the Eucharist. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am as present as the day I walked on the earth, the day I hung on the cross. I come to you, My beloved chosen ones, and I give you Myself.

    You will unite ever so closely to Me in the Eucharist. My Heart is on fire for love of each of you present. I gave My life for you on the cross. I gave My flesh and My Blood. I give to you now My very Body and Blood.

    This is My Body, given up for you. This is My Blood, shed for you.

    Meditate on My Passion when you pray the rosary. I am the Bread of Life. I give you Myself. I share with you My divine life, My divine love. You I love so dearly.

Jesus

Sorrowful Mysteries
Feast of Blessed Katharine Drexel
 Season of Lent - First Friday - 12:00 Noon
Before the Tabernacle 

                Jesus: I, Jesus, call out to you — will you help Me?

                The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: How it pleases My aching Heart that you have come to join Me and be with Me, present between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Friday. This time is so special to Me, the time that I hung on the cross in such agony.

2. Jesus: My Heart beats so many beats for each one of you, an endless burning love; and you do not hear Me say, second by second, moment by moment, in your busy lives how I love you.

3. Jesus: The hour that is at hand is so precious to My Heart. As I suffered with the agony in the Garden, I was comforted by the acts of love that you give to Me this very day.

4. Jesus: Come, My beloved chosen ones, so dear to My Heart. I call out to you to put yourself into My presence, to block out your world, to close yourself off and be alone with Me, to share this hour in intimacy with My burning Heart on fire for love of you.

5. Jesus: Do you see the screen that I have placed around you? Do you see this so you can be alone with Me?

6. Jesus: This is the hour that we will share great love. You and I! My beloved ones, how dear you are to Me! Come and be ever closer to My Most burning Heart on fire for love of you!

7. Jesus: Blood red! My blood was ever so red! It is the fire of My burning Heart. I truly shed My most precious blood for you, My dear ones. Focus on My blood. Focus on red during this hour, on My blood on fire for love of you!

8. Jesus: I saw before Me all My Passion. I saw everything that I would receive. But the worst was the agony to My Most Precious Heart for the souls this day that treat Me coldly, indifferently, and I love them dearly.

9. Jesus: Open your heart wide and let Me fill you with My life given this hour. I pour into your heart My abundant love, My abundant life. As you receive this increase in My life, My grace abundantly poured out to you and know more My Divine love, I ask you to go out into the world to spread this love to all your brothers. My dear ones, did you not know My love? It is through Me that they will see this immense love that I have given to you.

10. Song: Oh Burning Heart, O Love Divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here to love and care for me.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

  

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar

1. Jesus: They beat Me! They scourged Me! My back, covered with open wounds! I bled so profusely! This blood I shed for love of you, My dear ones. Do you see? Do you see even a little of this immense love that I have for you? Pray to the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, to open your hearts more to realize the immense love that God has for you. The Father sent His only begotten Son into this world born of the Virgin Mary. I am with you this day in this room truly present. God, is present and in your midst! As you focus on the blood that I shed, look at My back wounded deeply and bleeding. Do you see?

2. Jesus: I am with you! God is in your presence and how I love you! I can tell you and tell you and tell you, but you must open your hearts and realize I am speaking to you! When you realize more My love, you will give to this world the love that I want to give through you. Your gift to this world is to open your heart wide and let Me penetrate your being so it is no longer you who live, but I who live in you. I am in you this day. I am present in this room the same as the day I walked on this earth. I am here with you, My chosen ones! You are My army to go out into the world and to spread the Good News!

3. R. Jesus stood in a puddle of His own blood! What more do we need to see the love that Jesus has for us? But we reach to the world and we ask the world to fill our needs when minute by minute, second by second, He is within. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwell within us when we are baptized and in the state of grace — God dwells in our graced baptized soul. And that soft gentle voice of Jesus cries out: "I love you, I love you, I love you"!

4. Jesus: My soldiers, My soldiers, My soldiers, I send you into this world, a world that has become godless. You are in the midst of wolves. They will spit on you, they will persecute you. But you will know the fire of My love as it burns within your heart, burning deeply, brightly. Your heart will be warmed with intensity for no person on the face of this earth can ever take you from the interior love that you feel within your breast. You will be strong and stand against the world. When the wind blows and it knocks on you, you will stand straight. You will be supported by the fire of My love that is within you. I am a pillar within your heart and it is through My strength that you will be My soldiers to go into this world that has forgotten God. I call out to you this day. Surrender, surrender, surrender to the God who loves you so that He was scourged at the pillar, covered with blood, beaten! This is the love I have for you. Do you need more proof?

5. Song: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

6. Jesus: A pillar of strength! My dear chosen ones, I love you!

7. Jesus: Do you hear My cry and My plea? They are the cries of God! This world is in such a shape and who can I call if you will not answer? You do not know the sorrow with which I call out to you! Please, listen to My pleading! Look at the world! Look at the children that are being wounded before they are even able to talk. Children are being violated! Whom can I call if you do not answer? I call to you, My chosen ones, this day to take a stand. I call you to realize the intensity of My pleading. I am pleading to you to spread My love letters throughout this world, they are My letters of deepest love that touch hearts deeply within. I ask you, will you help Me spread My love to a world that has forgotten God, a world that murders babies, a world that poisons children with the television within their own homes? Do not hold back! I call out to you this day. Who will answer if you will not answer Me when I talk to you.

8. Jesus: I talk to you, to go out to this world, to realize that I am asking you to spread My love. I will fill you with abundant love inside of your hearts that you will be fixed in union with Me, that you will know My life in you, My love as it burns within your breast. You will be compensated for the efforts that you produce.

9. Jesus: I was scourged at the pillar for love of your brother! Do you know how I love these souls that are sinning, that are in pain? I ask you to go out, to be strong, to pray to the Spirit for the fearlessness that you need to do this job. I will fill you with abundant grace to carry out this mission that I call you to this day. You will be My warriors, marching on a world that is sick and suffering. Pray for strength!

10. Jesus: I will make My plan visible to you. You must surrender. You must pray for union with Me so that it is no longer you who operate, but I Who operate through you. I am Jesus, the same Jesus that was born in Bethlehem. I am with you this day in the Tabernacle, pleading and begging you to do the work that I am asking you to do - to spread My love to the hurting world.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

    

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. Jesus: Be with Me! Feel the blood as it rolls down My face from the thorns! See with the blurry eyes that I saw through! Blood, covering My eyes! Do you see your world or do you close your eyes? Whom do I call if you to whom I am speaking will not answer?

2. Jesus: I want to be so close to you! I want to be joined as one with you! I want to live in you, to act from you! You must surrender! Give up that control. Pray for union, greater and greater union. For I will send you as warriors into this world and I will act through you. You do not have to think about what you will do. You must be joined in union with Me and I will act. Let go of your control. Surrender more and more to Me!

3. Jesus: As I looked at the world through blood stained eyes, you must look at the world, but see clearly the sin that is before you. See the world in the state it is in. See the children as they are suffering. See the paper. See the television. See all those that are sinning throughout the world. Your light connected to Me can affect many souls. You do not know the power of a heart that is united to the Almighty God. A heart that is one with God is filled - a light. Focus on My power and you will realize I can operate in you. Surrender and become one with Me. I will operate in you. Your job is to draw ever closer to My Heart, to consecrate your hearts to My Most Sacred Heart and the Heart of My Mother. Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!

4. Jesus: Know this! I want to be so close to you. Every second of your existence be aware that I live in you and am saying to you — I love you, I love you, I love you!

5. Jesus: You are wed to Me. Moment by moment, realize that I am the Bridegroom of your soul! There is such intensity between the relationship that we have, but you must let go. Second by second, realize that I am living in you!

6. Jesus: See Me all through My passion, perfect peace on My face! I knew the Father's love. You will know My love, My immense love more and more in your heart. It is your free will to surrender and become ever closer to Me.

7. Jesus: I speak to you in the inner prompting of your heart. With each one of you, I want to be wed to your soul. I want to be the Bridegroom of your soul. Purify your hearts! Make your souls spotless for I am the bridegroom of your soul.

8. Jesus: When you receive Me in the Eucharist, let go! Let go and let Me operate in your heart!

9. Song: Oh Burning Heart, O Love Divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here to love and care for me.

10. Jesus: Be one in Me!

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

  

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. Jesus: I carried My cross on My back. I carried the heavy cross laden with the sins of men. I carried the cross with greatest love. I did not complain. I did not put it down. I give you crosses. You will receive more and more My abundant life in staying rooted in Me. Accept all the sufferings that I give to you and know that they will draw you ever closer to My Heart. In every thorn, there is a rose! I never give you more than you can handle. In these sufferings I draw you closer to Me.

2. Jesus: As I walked, My Mother forever by My side, she walks by you in all your sufferings. Focus on My Mother! How close she truly is to you! You do not walk alone, you are surrounded by angels and saints. You are so chosen and so loved. Open up your hearts and let Me penetrate your souls. Let Me teach you My ways. There is so much that I have to give to you.

3. R. And their eyes peered into each other's eyes. That look of such intimacy!

Jesus: The key to your intimacy with Me, with God, is through Mary, My beloved Mother! I love My Mother! I want you to come through the Heart of My beloved Mother into My Heart. Consecrate yourselves daily to Her Heart and to My Heart.

4. Jesus: Her Heart was pierced with a sword. My Heart was pierced with a lance. The symbols of such love for you that we suffered. In love there is suffering. These Two Hearts are great symbols of our love for you. Come to our Hearts and dwell there! Forever in our Hearts! Come through My pierced Heart and dwell deeply in such abundant love for I truly love you, My beloved ones!

5. Song: Oh Burning Heart, O Love Divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here to love and care for me.

6. Jesus: I call out to you to open up your hearts and to pray for those who plug up their ears and close their eyes for I am truly here in your midst this day in such a special way. I ask you to pray, pray, pray to open the hearts of those who will spread My love throughout this world.

7. Jesus: The blind do not see and the deaf do not hear! They have plugged up their ears! They have closed their eyes! Pray more and more for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to descend upon all here to open their hearts to the fire of My burning love. I truly am on fire with love for you. See the blood which I shed on the way to Calvary. See Me covered from head to My feet with wounds, with thorns! This is the love that I have for you. Pray for your brothers! Pray for an outpouring of the Spirit. You do not know the power of your prayers when you are fixed closely to My Heart. The deeper in union you are with Me, the greater your intercessory prayers. I ask you this day to unite with My Heart, to be drawn ever closer to My Heart.

8. Jesus: Your prayers offered up in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout this world are so important. Pray! Pray! Pray! Every act you do that is in accordance with the Father's will when offered up with the Mass, is a mighty prayer. I ask you today to see Me under the cross! This is the extent that I went to, to save the souls that I love. Will you help Me spread this love throughout this world?

9. Jesus: Total surrender! They stripped Me of My garments! I gave My all for love of you!

10. Jesus: Will you surrender to a Heart that loves you?

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

   

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

1. Jesus: Such grace I outpour to you in this Holy Hour between 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m. before the Blessed Sacrament - the time that I hung for three agonizing hours to My death! My greatest suffering was not the physical suffering, as intense as it was. It was to My most precious Heart that loves and thirsts for souls, the souls that have forgotten God, that sin constantly, that have cut themselves off from the great gifts that I want to give to them. This is the greatest agony that I experienced during My hours on the cross, for the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite My suffering.

2. Jesus: See Me there against the darkened sky with a weakened body, hanging!

3. Jesus: Can you not trust? Picture in your mind this picture. I gave My flesh! I gave My blood! I gave My all for love of you!

4. Jesus: You must totally let go. As you see Me hanging with My arms suspended, as you see Me hanging, I gave the last drop of My blood, the last beat of My Heart. I gave My all! It is in surrender that miracles will happen in your life. Constantly you must hear that gentle voice in your heart telling you: I love you, I love you, I love you!

5. Jesus: Does a mother forget her child, the child at her breast? If a mother would forsake her child, I will never, ever abandon you!

6. Jesus: In the greatest suffering, there is new life!

7. Jesus: Die to yourselves that you might live more and more in Me!

8. Jesus: If a mother forsake her child, I will never abandon you!

9. Song: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

10. Jesus: Be alone with Me! This time alone is so precious to My Most Sacred Heart!

Jesus: I outpour to you My grace in such abundance! Open up your hearts and let Me penetrate your being for I am truly present here with you this day. Your hearts will be drawn ever closer to My Heart. Surrender! Surrender! Surrender to the God Who gave His flesh and blood, Who gave His life, Who gives His Body to you this day! With burning love, My life I give to you, all that you need. Second by second, I am within you. Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

 

This rosary was prayed in the Holy Spirit Chapel of the Holy Spirit Center before Jesus in the Tabernacle at 12:00 noon. Rita, Daniel, Mary, Sue R., Karen, Ed and Marty were present.

The Sorrowful Mysteries
Feast of St. Casimer
First Saturday — Season of Lent

Meditate on the Blood and Passion of Jesus
 

                The Agony in the Garden

1. R. Be with Jesus as He kneels in the Garden. Be there! See the dark night and see Jesus. Put yourself right there so that you can experience this mystery so deeply in your heart, so that you can be drawn closer to Jesus as you meditate on this mystery.

2. Jesus: My greatest agonies were not the agonies that I experienced to My Body, the wounds that I would receive, but My greatest agonies were the agonies that I experienced to My Most Sacred Heart.

3. R. Jesus saw before Him all the souls from all time, the souls that He loved dearly and would neglect Him and treat Him indifferently.

4. R. He saw His entire Passion before His eyes: all the battering, all the wounding, the carrying of the cross, the crowning with thorns. He knew of His death on the cross. He saw this clearly before His eyes and He saw the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all of His suffering.

5. R. The natural fear of death came into play. He went to the Apostles and He said to them: "Can you not watch one hour with Me?" But they slept! Peter, who had vowed to remain always faithful, slept. And Jesus went away!

6. R. He loves us so dearly that He remains with us this day in the Eucharist, in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day that He knelt in the Garden, waiting and longing and thirsting for our love. He saw before Him the endless hours that He would remain in the Tabernacle and so few souls would come to be with Him.

7. R. His agonies were so great that His sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground!

8. R. Lately when we pray the rosary, there is a red filter throughout the room. Frequently everything in the room is blocked out and all that remains is Jesus' face. He wants us to meditate on the blood that He shed for each one of us. His red blood! In meditating on this blood, you will realize more and more the immensity of His on-fire love, His burning love that He has for us. He truly shed His blood because He loves us so much!

9. Jesus: I call out to you, My beloved ones. How dearly I love each one of you that is here this evening. I want to be ever closer to your heart. Meditating on My passion you will realize more and more the immensity of the love that I have for you.

10. Jesus: Meditate deeply on My passion all through this Lenten season for My Heart longs and thirsts to be drawn ever closer to you for I truly shed My blood for love of you, My dear, dear beloved ones.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

  

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar

1. R. We speak about His love as we speak about our laundry — the love of God! This is not the way that He speaks of the love that He has for each one of us. He truly was scourged at the pillar. Tied! Beaten! To their own exhaustion with their angry hearts, they scourged Him with sharp instruments that tore His flesh and made Him bleed. This is the love that He has. When we speak of His love, when we read His Word, speak and read from the heart. He wants us to read every word, to know how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit love us. Out of greatest love, the Father sent His only begotten Son into this world, Jesus, that He shed His blood, Father, Son and Holy Spirit love us so much. The Spirit wants to move inside of each one of us to transform us more and more into the image of Jesus and lead us to the bosom of the Father.

2. R. If we realized for one second the immensity of the love of God, we would be in such tears. Their love is beyond our comprehension. They want us to experience this love penetrating in our being — to become one in us! Focus on His blood that He shed during this mystery of the scourging. See Jesus, with His unblemished back and then see His back torn, the blood pouring from His back. They stand there with their angry faces beating Jesus, tearing His flesh! This is the love that He has for us. It is not a little lip service love. It is the love He had when he was scourged at the pillar.

3. R. He asks us for two things: love of God and love of one another. He does not ask us to have a lot of money. He asks us to love one another. He came to show us the way. He was scourged at the pillar. Put yourself at the pillar. In the dim light, see the men as they beat His back. See them as they angrily hit Him. Then stop. Listen to the blows!

4. R. If you stop and listen to the blows that they gave to Jesus, listen in silence. He did not holler back. He complied always to the Father's Will. Not My Will but Thine be done! Hear Him scourged at the pillar and then know that He was scourged for each one of us because He loves us so dearly.

5. R. He was scourged for our brothers! How can I not like my brother when Jesus stood at the pillar and they tore His flesh because He loved my brother! How can I not love my brother when God the Father created my brother and he is a creation of the Father? When I hear the blows that Jesus received and think of the blood and His torn flesh and know He suffered this for love of my brother, how can I not like my brother?

6. R. His greatest agonies were not the wounds that they gave to His body, the tearing of His flesh, the crowning of thorns. His greatest agonies were the agonies He experienced to His Most Sacred Heart. He, Who is Love, loves each one of us so much that He gave His flesh and blood for us. He loves us! We can not even comprehend. To say that His love is a burning furnace of endless love are such flimsy little words. There are no words to describe the love that He has for us.

7. R. How we whimper when we have a splinter in our hand or when we cut ourselves and we bleed! Jesus wants us to focus on the blood that He shed because in focusing on this blood we will realize the immensity of His love. God the Father truly sent His Son into this world. God came into this world out of greatest love for us. His creatures! Who are we that God comes into this world and takes on a human nature? We are His beloved chosen ones! The more we focus on this blood that He shed and it becomes real to us, the more we will realize the immensity of the love of God.

8. R. Jesus gave Himself on the cross, His body and His blood! He gives Himself to us this day in the Eucharist, truly present! God, gives Himself to us! He wants to be one with us. He wants to be united to us. We are human. Through Baptism we receive a sharing in His life, we are made children of God and heirs of Heaven. He gives to us this sharing in His life. He elevates our human nature to such heights when we are baptized and His grace He outpours to us.

9. R. Jesus outpours His grace abundantly in the Eucharist and when we sit in front of the tabernacle. He is there in His Divinity and humanity. We receive such abundant grace. He is there the same as the day He was scourged at the pillar. Grace is a sharing in His life and He wants to be close to us, to penetrate our being, to unite with us. He gives us Himself in the Eucharist.

10. R. He calls out to please stay with Him and pray with Him. After communion, we can be so one in Him. He gives us His body and His blood!

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

    

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. R. They pounded into His head a sharp crown of piercing thorns. The blood ran down the side of His face into His eyes and into His ears. Blood ran from His mouth from the blows they had given to His head. Look at Jesus' face streaming with blood! This is the blood that He shed for love of each one of us! He calls out to us today to come ever closer to Him. He is outpouring His grace to us so we may be filled more and more with His life in us. He outpours His love. The soul searches this barren desert for so many things to fill it when only the love of God will satisfy the soul.

2. R. It is an endless search, over and over again, from one thing to the next thing. Jesus waits ever patiently, ever close to us. When we are in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, dwell within the graced baptized soul. Listen! Take time to listen! Be quiet with Him! Hear Him say second by second, moment by moment, "I love you!" There are so many distractions, so many hard times we go through every day, but Jesus is inside of each one of us, present at every second as we breathe and as our heart beats, He is in there. In all the trials and struggles that we go through, He turns them into such a gift if we open our hearts and hear Him whisper in our heart: "I love you, I love you, I love you."

3. R. When someone is persecuting you, when you are being attacked, when it seems like things are coming down on you, stop, listen, and hear His voice inside say to you: "I love you!"

4. R. You can not straddle the fence. This world has turned godless. He is here and in our midst this day. He is here inside of us. If we are in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within our graced baptized soul in such a special way. He remains with us in His Divinity and humanity.

5. R. He talks to me and asks me to tell you that you must take a stand. Souls are at stake. You are His soldiers He is sending out into this world to spread His love. The world will persecute you as they persecuted Jesus but He is by your side. He knows what it is to suffer. He is calling out to you. The Father has a plan for you. He asks you to love God and love one another. It is in loving one another that we preach the Gospel to this world.

6. R. His body was covered with deep wounds, deep wounds that were bleeding, that were burning. His body was bruised and beaten. They put on His body a dirty purple robe that stuck to His bleeding wounds. He sat on a so called throne and they gave Him a scepter to hold. They spit on Him, they laughed at Him and they mocked Him! Sit there! Sit there as Jesus sat there streaming with blood with thorns on your head and think of people hollering at you and spitting at you! This is the love that He has for each one of us. This truly happened! He is asking you during this Lent to meditate on these mysteries often so you will be drawn close to His Heart. He longs, waits, and thirsts for your love. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who hung on the cross for three agonizing hours, Who gave His flesh and His blood because He loved you to His death!

7. Song: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

8. Jesus: My dear sweet ones, I call out to you. I watch you, so close to you as you struggle on your way and you think I have forgotten. Should a mother forsake her child, I will never abandon you. I stand forever with you. I watch you struggle and I know that in this struggle you will be drawn closer to My Heart. Withstand your suffering. In all suffering there is life. I know what it is to suffer. My Mother knows what it is. As she walked by My side, she walks by your side this day. Surrender to the God that loves you. Everything that you are experiencing, I am allowing. It will lead you to such life if you accept your trials and turn to Me for there is a bed of roses beyond the thorns. Trust me! Open your heart and draw yourself ever closer to My Most Sacred Heart on fire for love of you.

9. Jesus: I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I wait for you. I wait to be ever closer to your heart. It is in meditating on the blood that I shed for you that you will know more and more the immensity of this love that I have for you.

10. Jesus: How do I make you understand how I truly love you and wait this day for you? I speak to you here so you will know that I am truly waiting and longing for you.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

  

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. Jesus: They gave to Me a heavy cross that they put on My shoulder. The cross was so heavy that I could scarcely move. The pain in My shoulder, it felt as if it would break! It would not go away. It just got worse and worse. As I carried My cross, I fell under the cross because I could not carry it.

2. Jesus: I saw My Mother in the crowd. My eyes peered into her eyes. Her face was reddened and streaming with tears. She looked into My eyes and she saw My face covered with blood. In that look, there was such intimacy between our Hearts. The peering look between Me and My Mother! The comfort and the pain!

3. R. See through the eyes of Mary! See her look at her Son at play. See her! See through her eyes as she now looks at her Son as He carries the cross on His back!

4. R. She appears to tell us to look through her eyes, to see her beloved Son, the cross on top of His body as He fell under it. She helplessly stood by and could not raise a hand to help Him. Her Heart torn deeply in her chest! She wants us to see through her eyes. It is in seeing through her eyes, we will realize the love that He has for us.

5. Song: I rocked Him as a baby. I fed Him as a child. I heard Him call my name out in the night...

6. Song: See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender infant child. See the child's Heart beat so tenderly, the Savior of the world!

7. R. What is love? Jesus is love! This is love, the love that He shed His blood, the love that He gave Himself and died on the cross. He bridges the gap between Divinity and humanity. He came to show us the way. He took on a human nature. Out of greatest love for us, Jesus was born a little baby, a helpless baby. A helpless baby, God, born a helpless baby in the town of Bethlehem. Look at a baby! He was the Almighty God! He humbled Himself so much to be born a helpless baby for love of us.

8. R. We cry and go about our way and say we are not loved. Jesus watches us and remains with us and is ever in our heart saying so softly "I love you, I love you." We are the ones that do not listen. We are blind. We do not see, we are blind men. It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit, by praying more and more to the Holy Spirit to open up our eyes, to help us to see more clearly, that we will grow deeper and deeper in our intimacy with Jesus. Holy Spirit, in the Heart of the Virgin Mary, transform us more and more into the image of Jesus. Who are we that God the Father created us in His own image and likeness? We are His chosen ones. The Father wants a child - a Father relationship with us. We are brothers in Christ - brothers. God is our Father. There is perfect love in the Trinity: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We should model all our relationships after this intimate communicating love between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Love is not inactive, love is vibrant. Love is deep love in the heart. Jesus is our teacher. We must go to Him, especially in the Eucharist and after communion and ask Him to instruct our hearts to know His love.

9. Song: Oh Burning Heart, O Love Divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here to love and care for me.

10. R. God calls us to love, love of Him and love of one another, not lip service love, but deep love giving from ourselves as Jesus gave all through His passion. The Father provides us with such love.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

   

Jesus is Crucified and He Dies on the Cross

1. R. See Mary as she cares for the tender hands and feet of her infant child and then see her as she stands by as they nail His hands and feet mercilessly to the cross.

2. R. The wounds to His hands and feet! They penetrated His hands and feet and went through to the other side. How deep are Your wounds, My Jesus? He suffered this agony for love of us and our brothers. Pray to Jesus for the grace to love our brothers as He loved our brothers. I can not love others unless I have love inside of me. Jesus wants to fill us to the brim with His love. He calls out to come to Him and let Him fill us with His Divine love, His abundant life that He fills us more and more.

3. R. He gave Himself on the cross. He spread His arms in total surrender. He gave His blood. They penetrated His skull with the thorns. The nails punctured His hands and His feet, He gave His all! He gives Himself to you this day in the Eucharist. For all the wounds that He suffered, the greatest wounds that He received were the ones to His Heart for He saw before Him all the souls from all time that would sin, that would neglect Him, that would treat Him indifferently, despite this immense burning Heart that is filled with love for each one of us this day.

4. R. The priest raises up the consecrated Host at Mass. I love the Consecration of the Mass. Who are we that God comes to us? Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist — the precious body and blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ!

5. Song: Look beyond the bread you eat, see your Savior and your Lord...

6. R. Pray for our priests! We are so favored to have the priests, specially anointed sons that He loves so dearly. Through the power of the Holy Spirit He gives the priests the power to change bread and wine into His body and blood. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. This presence is so overwhelming. And we go to Mass and take it so lightly, yet the priest is so chosen by God, the priest that can forgive our sins. Who are we that God gives this power to a priest? God has given us so much because He is so good to us and He asks us to pray for our priests, to kiss their hands, the hands that change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. Open up our eyes, O Holy Spirit, and help us to see the great gifts that you give to us in the Mass, in the Eucharist and in the Sacraments. It was through the pierced Heart of Jesus that the sacramental life of the Church was born. The water and blood that poured forth from His side. Water for baptism. Blood for the Eucharist. We are so chosen by God and given such great gifts and we take these gifts so lightly. He loves us dearly. Dear Spirit, open our eyes and help us to see clearly the things that will draw us closer and closer to God. Outpour Your grace so that we may know and love God more. Please touch each person in a special way join their hearts ever closer to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the Hearts of such love! Her Heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance!

7. Song: I know Your love a little now. So dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life! I thirst to be with Thee.

8. R. When the priest raises up the consecrated host, think that, that is the same Jesus Who hung on the cross for three agonizing hours, no less present than the day He walked on the earth with His cross on His back, no less present than the day He hung on the cross. See Jesus hanging on the cross. Know that it is Jesus' Body and Blood in the Eucharist, Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist when the priest raises the host. When you see the exposed Eucharist at adoration, pray for the grace to know more this great God Who loves us so dearly that He remains with us this day, in His Divinity and humanity, out of greatest love.

9. R. As Mary held the little baby body of Jesus in her arms in the Temple when Simeon prophesied the sufferings that she and Jesus would undergo, she now holds His lifeless body in her arms under the cross, covered with blood, without a breath in His body. Look at this picture. Mary with Jesus' lifeless body on her lap! This is the love that Jesus and Mary have for us! This is how Jesus complied to the Father's Will. He came to show us the way. It is in complying to the Father's Will that we will be the happiest, in living in His Will as little children. Not doing the Father's Will, doing what we want to do because we think it is a good deed, but is not the Father's will, is not the road to happiness. We need to live in the Father's Will as a little child trying to please their Father. This is what will make us the happiest. Dear Holy Spirit, please outpour Your gifts, help us to know the Father's Will. Help us to sit in silence with Jesus and listen to the inner prompting of our hearts to know the Father's plan for us.

10. R. And they locked Jesus in a tomb and rolled the stone sealing the tomb. His enemies were overjoyed because they thought they had won. But on the third day, Jesus rose triumphant. Death has no power over Jesus!

Song: New life, new life. He came to give us new life. New life, new life. He came to give us new life!

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

 

This rosary was prayed at Bernie and Wilma's home in Northern Kentucky during their weekly Prayer Meeting. There were approximately 25 people present.
