The Agony in the Garden

R. I read a message from Fatima during a July apparition when Mary appeared and showed them a vision of hell. She said,

“You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

“The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. 12

“To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

“But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.” 13

12. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.4-5.
13. Ibid., p.5.

1. Hail Mary
2. Hail Mary

R. Be with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Put aside all of the distractions in your mind and open your heart wide.

Jesus: My dear, sweet children, I am Jesus and I come to you this day that you may be united closer to My Most Sacred Heart. I am giving to you abundant graces to unite in deepest union with My Heart. I ask you to be in the Garden with Me and experience My agony for all of My beloved ones.

3. Jesus: Open your heart and let Me penetrate your heart. Remove all the walls that surround your heart. Anything that blocks this union with Me, let go of all the grievances that you hold against others and feel the peace. Feel the peace deep within your soul as you forgive all others of their offenses against you. I knelt in the Garden and I saw before Me all the sins of all men from all time.

4. R. Think of how it is to love someone so deeply and how it hurts when they neglect you and treat you with indifference. It is the ones that we love so dearly that we are so hurt by. Jesus loves us with the deepest love and look how He is treated this day by those He loves. Look at how people use His name in vain. Look at the laughter at the name of Jesus, not respected and loved but used in video games with such disrespect. Jesus comes with a heart surrounded by a crown of thorns, the thorns pressing into His Heart for the indifference and ingratitude of sinful men and He calls out in this message how He loves us and wants to be so close to us. He is the light that shines in the dark night and He has called us to hear the message of His deep and burning love.

5. R. Jesus is alive! He is truly present in the tabernacles in this world in the consecrated host, in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day that He knelt in the garden. Jesus Christ waits for us to come and to be with Him. Many times He is alone in the tabernacle. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, the same as the day He walked the earth! Jesus waits and longs to be so close to us. Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity and Jesus outpours abundant graces whereby we share deeper and deeper in His life and Jesus is neglected and forgotten by many He loves.

6. R. Jesus has chosen the religious in a special way and His Heart suffered the greatest agony for those that He had called and treated Him with such neglect and indifference.

7. R. The souls are so hungry this day. Look at the vile deeds in the world. Look at what children are being taught in the video games. The murder of an innocent baby in the womb of their mother! Jesus was in such agony that His sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground. I hear Him call out and call out and call out “Tell them, Rita, tell them. Tell them how I love.” He says over and over again, “Unless the messages of His burning love are circulated in the Church, the bloodshed will continue.” People that murder the babies within them are starved. We are starved to be fed with the burning love of God, not words, not lip service, but to know the love that He wants to give to us. Do we see Him as He hangs on the cross, dripping with blood, crowned with thorns? This is the love that God has – that He sent His only begotten Son into this world and He gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for us! But we speak of Him in surface love. Jesus shows us His Heart and Mary shows us her heart. Jesus says so few souls come to Me and outpour their burning love and how I wait in the tabernacle for them to come and to hear the words from their lips, “O, how I love You, Jesus. How I long for You, Jesus!” Jesus wants an intimate relationship with us. Jesus gives Himself to us in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus wants us to give our all to Him.

8. R. How our acts of love comforted Him during His bitter Passion! The greatest agonies were not the agonies that He would experience to His body, but the agonies that He experienced to His Heart. In the garden He was bent over with pain for He was in agony to know all of the sins from all men, from all time.

9. Jesus: Open up your heart wide and I will give to you abundant graces so that you may unite deeper and deeper to My Heart. Come to My Heart, to the pure and tender heart of My loving Mother. It is through her heart that you will unite in the deepest recesses of My Heart.

10. Song: I Love You Jesus

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

Jesus: Surrender to Me and let go. This is a rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. My dear ones, walk with Me through this Passion. Be there – experience as I experienced, the letting go, to allow those I loved to tie My hands and tie Me to the pillar.

1. Jesus: My Heart, consumed with the deepest love for you. I continued without resistance, to allow the men to beat Me.

2. Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

3. R. Jesus stood at the pillar and they beat Him with such instruments that tore His flesh and made Him bleed. This is the love that He has for us, that God gave Himself and came to this earth. Jesus took on a human body and allowed Himself to be scourged unmercifully for love of us. Why do we not trust Him? Why do we not surrender ourselves to Him? Do we not see Jesus, covered with wounds, tied to the pillar? He is the way, the truth and the life. He shows us the way.

4. Jesus: It is in your surrender that you will have peace and joy in your lives. Give yourselves totally to God.

Jesus: My beloved ones, surrender, consecrate your hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Give yourselves to God to do always the Father’s will.

R. It is in living in the Father’s will that our peace and joy are found.

5. Hail Mary

6. R. We do not know what it is to unite with love itself. God wants us to be with Him for all eternity, united in the deepest love with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus has revealed to us insights into the mystery of His Divine love. Our souls search a barren desert looking for that which will satisfy us and nothing satisfies the starved soul but the love of God. Let us look at Jesus covered from head to toe with wounds, wide open wounds! Let us see Him tied to the pillar. Just think of the love that He has for us, that He subjected Himself to this treatment! Why do we not surrender and give Him our all? Jesus gave His all for us.

7. Jesus: You are the lights that I am sending into this world to shed the light in the dark night. Each one of you I have called here this day as I unite more deeply with your hearts. Will you give My love to this world that is hurting and in pain? I am Jesus. I shed My blood for you. This is the love that I have for you!

8. R. God is not far off. Jesus is alive and I hear Him call out: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. Jesus tells me: Tell them when we are baptized we receive a sharing in His Divine life. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in a very special way when we remain in the state of grace. It is in this interior life that we will have peace and joy. We go to the world but we are united to Jesus in our hearts. Put together the minute pieces of your life to unite with the Almighty God who lives within you. Who tells us about Himself and tells us about ourselves? It takes time alone every day with Jesus to know Him more. If we love someone we want to spend time with that person. To have a love relationship with Jesus we must take the time to be alone with Him. Jesus is alive and He dwells in our hearts. Jesus remains in our hearts when we are in the state of grace in His Divinity. Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and  humanity in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus is no less present than the day He was tied to the pillar. I hear Him call out: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. Tell them I am alive!

9. R. Mary has said that it is so important that we pray the rosary, for as we meditate on Their lives, His life becomes more alive within us. Every word in the Scriptures becomes more meaningful. The rosary is so beautiful for we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary.

10. Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Crowning with Thorns

Jesus: I call you to surrender. You will not let go. You hold on so tight to so many things. You must let go and put yourself totally in My hands. I am guarding you every moment. You are so filled with your fear and your incidentals. I love you with the deepest love – that I came to this earth and gave Myself for love of you. I am calling out to you this day to surrender, to take the wall down from around your heart and to open your heart wide. Let Me enter that We may join in the deepest intimacy with one another.

Sing: Little Child

1. R. They pounded into Jesus’ head a sharp crown of piercing thorns and Jesus did not resist anything that they did to Him. They spit on Jesus and they mocked Jesus. This was the Almighty God, the Son of God, who did not resist.

2. R. Jesus’ face and body were covered with blood. Meditate on the face of Jesus after the crowning with thorns. Look into His eyes and see the love that He has for us.

3. Song: O Sacred head surrounded, reviled and put to scorn

4. R. Would we allow someone to pound thorns into our heads, to spit on us, to tear our flesh? As we go through our lives we carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. All through the day we suffer little sufferings. How do we act as we struggle? Do we realize that He is allowing us to go through these sufferings, that we will go deeper in our life with Him? Do we realize that we follow the path that He trod? It is in the death that there is our resurrection. In our daily struggles all through the day that, if we stay rooted in Him, we grow deeper and deeper in our life with Him.

5. R. The price that He paid that we would share in His life!

6. R. How it comforts His Heart when we tell Him of our love for Him!

7. Song: I Love You Jesus

Jesus: In your every breath and your every heartbeat, I guard you and I watch you - as you walk and as you sleep. Do not be afraid for I am with you in all of your actions. I am guarding you and watching you. I am longing and waiting for you to tell Me of your love. My greatest agonies were not the agonies that I suffered to My body but the agonies that I suffered to My Heart. Buckled over in pain, My Heart, a Heart of endless love, and I wait for you, I wait for you through each moment of the day, to talk to Me, to be with Me so I may be joined ever closer to You and I want your love.

R. Let us not seek after senseless pleasures that do not satisfy the craving in our hearts which only You, God, can satisfy.

8. R. So many times we have such longing in our hearts to receive love. Such longing that our hearts hurt for wanting love. Jesus remains in the tabernacle - Jesus says to us over and over again how He is longing, longing for our love. We carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. We do not realize that this is the longing that He has for us - to come and to be with Him. We walk around with our hearts in pain, looking for that which will satisfy this longing when nothing, nothing on the face of this earth will satisfy the longing for love but the love of God! We were created to love God and to love one another. Our hearts are in pain until they rest in Him.

9. Song: I Love You Jesus

R. In marriage, every woman promises to every man that which only God can give. Share with God - great love. In this oneness, in all that you do, love in union with Jesus.

Jesus: I am Jesus. I love you with the deepest love. Come to Me, My sweet, little children and I will comfort you and shelter you in the deepest recesses of My Heart.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Carrying of the Cross

Jesus: You will be persecuted by many. I stood and they cried out, “Crucify Him, Crucify Him.” In this world today you will be rejected by many that you love. You must come and dwell in My Heart, the Heart of endless love, waiting for you.

1. R. Jesus stumbled along with the cross on His back and He fell with His chin to the ground. His thoughts were always of us and how dearly He loves us.

2. R. How many times we fall each day. He is so close and we think that we are alone. How many times we go from Him. Jesus is in our hearts. All we have to do is go to our heart and dwell in His Heart. Go inside of ourselves to the red room, the interior chamber of His Heart and be protected from the cold, windy world - the world that is cruel and sometimes so hard to live in! That we can go to our heart and know always that if we are in the state of grace we have this deep presence of God within us: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and this is our shelter! Jesus showed us the way that He was persecuted: Jesus was whipped, Jesus was crowned with thorns - this is the way that He trod. The world tells us that we shouldn’t have problems, but we see Jesus as He falls to the ground and struggles onward with the cross on His back. But, Jesus shows us, in carrying the cross and walking His way, that there is the Resurrection! It is in our sufferings that we are raised to deeper life in Him.

3. Jesus: I come to the simple. I come to those whose hearts are filled with love. Look into your heart. Let go of any anger or hatred toward any person in your life. Make your heart soft that I may enter into your heart and join with you in deepest love.

4. R. Look into Jesus’ eyes as Mary looked into His eyes. Mary saw Jesus’ head crowned with thorns and Jesus’ face covered with blood. Mary saw in His eyes the love that He has, that He gave Himself for us. Why do we not look into His eyes? Why do we not reach deeper and deeper into our hearts to know Jesus more?

5. Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

6. R. This is how the martyrs withstood what they suffered. They knew the interior presence of God. Think of how it is to embrace love, the burning love of God and to know that it is inside of us at every moment - that it is there that the more we go to the Eucharist, the more we sit in front of the tabernacle, the more He outpours His grace, His life and, the deeper we share in His Divine Life God is within our hearts!

7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary

9. R. Mary walked with Jesus as He walked with the cross on His back. Mary peered into Jesus’ loving eyes and Jesus peered into Mary’s eyes and in that look there was such intimacy between those Two Hearts. It is through Their Hearts, it is in dwelling in Their Hearts, that we will have our little heaven on earth. It is in going to the pure and tender heart of Mary that Mary places us in the deepest recesses of Jesus’ Heart.

Let us go to Mary, our Mother and ask her to help us to love her Son, Jesus, as she loved her Son, Jesus, in her heart, to love the Father as she loved the Father, to love the Holy Spirit, her Spouse, as she loved the Holy Spirit. It is in the heart of Mary that the Holy Spirit acts to sanctify us and to make us more like Jesus. As we become more like Jesus, we unite deeper to Him and to the Father.

10. R. It is in dwelling in Their Hearts that we will have a little heaven here on earth.

 

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

R. Jesus gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross. Jesus’ hands were nailed. Jesus’ feet were nailed, to the cross. Jesus came into this world in such poverty, in a cave. Jesus laid in a manger on bare wood and He died on bare wood on the cross.

1. Jesus: You hold on to such senseless things, My beloved ones. I am with you this day. Do not worry for I am guarding you in all of your actions. Stay rooted in My Heart of love and I will protect and comfort you in everything that you do. I am with you. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I came to this earth that you would have life and have it to the full.

2. R. Jesus came that we would have life. Jesus gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross and gives Himself this day in the Holy Eucharist. I hear Jesus call out: “Tell them, I give them Myself and they run from the altar after Communion.” It is in this act that we unite so deeply to our beloved Lord. Let us give ourselves to Him at the Consecration of the Mass. Let us die to ourselves that we will live deeper and deeper in Him. Let us unite in this sacrifice, become one in this sacrifice with Christ, to the Father. Let us die to all that is not like Him, that we will live in Him, that He gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and we give ourselves to Him. This is the greatest act of intimacy between God and man and He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist and unites to us.

3. R. Let us treasure these moments when we are one with Him and let us at these moments help make reparation to the offenses against God and against the heart of Mary.

4. R. At Mass, the priest has the power to change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus through the Holy Spirit. This moment, this sacred moment, when Jesus acts through the priest, let us be so united in this sacrifice that we give ourselves. I hear Jesus call out, “This is My Body.” He speaks at the Consecration, “This is My Body, tell them, I give them Myself, tell them.”

5. R. Jesus mounted the cross, His body covered with wounds, His head crowned with thorns and He gave His all in total surrender. Jesus gave His all – our life paid for with the price of His blood and He is neglected and forgotten this day by so many of His beloved ones. Jesus waits in the tabernacle. He is as present as the day He walked this earth, in the Holy Eucharist, yet He is forgotten by many. Let us help make reparation to His adorable Heart for the great gift of Himself to us.

6. R. Dear Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and the saints and the souls in Purgatory, we ask You to fill us with such grace that we will know, love and serve You more. That, from this moment on, we will participate in the Mass more fully, that we will unite in deepest intimacy with You, Almighty God, each time that we go to receive the Eucharist, we ask You to help us to love You more. Such giving of Yourself to me.

Help us to love You deeper and deeper. Dear Holy Spirit, fill us with the fire of God’s love, to know that God’s love is not inactive, that it is not only words but it is the love that God the Father gave His only begotten Son and that Jesus gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross for love of us!

7. R. May we feel this action of the Holy Spirit within the heart of Mary as her heart dwells within the Heart of her Son. May we feel encompassed by the love of God, the Holy Spirit, acting in her heart, uniting us deeper to the Heart of Jesus and Jesus is one with the Father. May we feel this union with the Almighty God, deeper and deeper.

8. R. Jesus came into this world a helpless baby in the arms of His Mother and Mary held Him in her arms, under the cross. See Jesus’ lifeless body in her arms. The Heart of Mary, a heart that knows and loves her Son – Mary’s heart that is sinless – a heart that is so close to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Let us unite with the Heart of Mary, to pray through her heart, to act through her heart, to love through her heart, that we may love God and love each other deeper and with a pure love.

9. Song: I Love You Jesus

R. The love of God - nothing on this earth compares to Divine love! The soul is only fed by the love of God. The soul is created to love God. God gives to us a sharing in His Divine life in Baptism. We will not be satisfied with anything but His Divine love. All things must be rooted in Him for He is the source of life and love. All life comes from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary, into us and we act as a channel as we give love to one another. Jesus is the source. Let us love God deeper and deeper every day.

10. Hail Mary

R. This is a rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. May your hearts be filled more and more with His burning love. O, My Jesus, forgive us our sins!

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

Song: A Song from Jesus

1. Jesus: Put aside all the differences in your heart and come to the deepest chamber of My Heart. It is there that you will unite in such oneness with the heavenly Father. The heavenly Father loves you with such love, as a Father that loves His children. How much more the heavenly Father loves you - you, His creation. He created each one of you so special and so unique, each one of you having a place in His plan to help in reaching the souls with the messages of God's love. You are so special and so favored, each one, having the talents that will help many to get to heaven. I have called you by name, you are Mine and I am guiding you and teaching you that you will help many and come and dwell forever in heaven.

2. Song: I Have Called You By Name

R. The Father has a unique plan for each one of us. He has given to each one of us exactly the talent we need to do His work. If we follow the Father's work with love we will one day be united in the deepest union with the Almighty God. We do not know what it is like to be embraced by a heavenly embrace, to have the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. For all eternity there will be no wanting.

Jesus: Your hearts, My dear ones, will be filled with such fervent love - love for God, love for each other. There is no bumping of heads in My plan. Each person - each person, doing the Father's will, will have peace and joy in their hearts.

3. R. Jesus rose on the third day victorious from the dead. He shows us how our lives are so important to His Plan. We live His life, death and resurrection in our lives. Great suffering can lead us to greater life in Him. We are drawn closer and closer to His Heart each day as He teaches us mighty lessons. His lessons are hard, His tests are hard, but if we stay rooted in Him, we will rise to new life in Him.

4. Jesus: What is the suffering that you are experiencing this day, My dear ones? You must accept all that I am allowing to happen in your life and know that there is darkness before the dawn, that the light will shine and you will be filled with My light. Accept the suffering that I give to you, for you will be filled with greater life if you stay rooted in Me.

5. R. And the rains came and the sun did not shine and their hearts knew peace because within, they were rooted in this oneness with the Almighty God.

6. R. Darkness covered the earth and the sun did not shine but they knew in their hearts the love of the Almighty God and their hearts were filled with joy.

7. R. See Jesus as He hangs on the cross. He gave His all in love for each one of us. We see Him covered with blood and His head crowned with thorns and next to this picture we see Him in the most glorious light - Jesus is victorious. Jesus rose on the third day. You too will rise to new life in Him for He is guarding us every single second. As we breath, He is there. He does not leave us alone. He does not abandon us.

8. R. And the sky opened and the light of the Almighty God came forth in such splendor that we could not comprehend the greatness of the Almighty God. Let us open our eyes to this vision, and realize that in our human minds we cannot comprehend the Divine mind, but pray fervently to the Holy Spirit to give us wider vision that we may see those things that the Father wishes us to know, to carry out His plan.

9. Jesus: You walk this world with such limited vision and I am with you at every single moment - as you breath, as your heart beats, I am with you. You must unite in every act, in every thought, to Me, that you are living in accordance to My Father's will. Then, My dear ones, you will have peace in your lives for I love you and I will not abandon you. Be not afraid, I am with you, in all of your troubles and all of your heartaches. You may wonder and ask why - you must pray fervently in silence and know the plan of the Father.

10. Hail Mary

Song: I Have called You By Name

 

The Ascension of Our Lord

1. Jesus: I call to you to give yourself to Me. I call you to give your all to Me, all of your struggles, all of your problems, all of your joy. I call to you to give Me your family, to give Me every person in your life and I will guard and protect them. I am Jesus. You walk alone many times, of your own choosing, and I am so close to you. Come to My Heart and I will protect you and give you such burning love.

2. Jesus: Be not afraid because I love you. At this moment I am giving you such grace, such grace to be in the deepest union with Me, My beloved ones, open up your hearts and let Me enter with My burning love. Let go of all anger and resentment toward each other, for it is only in a heart of love that you will unite to My Heart. I am love and My Heart is filled with love.

3. Jesus: Division and anger is not from God. I am love. It is in your actions, performed by love, that I live in you and I will teach My lessons to this world that is hurting and in pain. You have been called, you have been chosen, to go forth in this world and to preach My lesson of love. You must love fervently in your heart. You must give your all as I gave My all when I died on the cross.

4. R. And He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven and a cloud took Him out of sight and the apostles were awestruck as they looked from a field below. You too would be awestruck if you saw the Almighty God go into the sky and be taken into heaven - we see with such limited vision. He has given us great graces to see with a wider vision. We must open up our hearts and surrender to His plan to love one another and to love God with our whole hearts, our whole soul, and our whole being.

5. Jesus: Satan is pressing on this earth. He is pressing on each one of you present. Satan wants to stop the work of the Father. I am calling you to proceed ahead with love for each other - love in your hearts. I have called you by name. Each and every person here is so important to the Father's plan, each given the unique talent to accomplish His work. Open wide your hearts and let Me touch you in a special way.

6. R. The apostles were filled with fear and they locked themselves in the upper room to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Our hearts, many times, are filled with fear and Jesus is so very close in our every thought. He wants to be one in us, that we are in one mind and one heart with Jesus. Put on the mind of Christ. Let us pray for grace, that we may have this most intimate contact with Him, that we may identify at every single second with Him in all of our actions, wanting only the will of the Father.

7. R. It is in this oneness with Jesus that we will have peace and joy in our hearts. Every action must be in accordance with the Father's will.

8. R. Every action performed in greatest love that in our hearts we reflect the love of the Almighty God, for each other.

9. Hail Mary

10. Jesus: You do not know how satan will attempt to divide you. These rosaries are so important to this world, as teaching tools to teach men about Our lives. Come to My Heart and to My Mother's heart and dwell in Our Hearts. It is in this oneness that you will be made holy, that you will be the light that shines in this world.

Song: Come Holy Spirit

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1. Jesus: Satan will press on you, that you will focus on many things. You cannot go into this world and carry My light when you are carrying anger and resentment for one another in your hearts. I am love. You must be My light to go forth and to shine in the darkness. You have been called and you have been chosen by Me to carry My light of love into the darkened world. You are the children of light.

2. R. And the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and they were transformed from fear to fearlessness and went out into the world to preach the Gospel message - the message of His love.

3. Jesus: Surrender to Me at this moment, My dear ones. Give Me your hearts and I will transform your hearts to a heart of love. I am with you in your darkest hour.

4. R. The apostles went into the world, from town to town, and many were converted. They were persecuted; they were jailed. They were held up in front of people and ridiculed, but within their hearts they knew the burning fire of God's love. They joined with one another in one mind and one heart and they went forth to deliver the Gospel message. Jesus no longer walks this earth, He lives in our hearts and He asks us to go into the world and to carry the message into the darkness.

5. Jesus: You are the children of light. I am asking you to carry these rosary messages into the world. It is through the rosary that many will be converted - it is your weapon against the evil one. I am asking each one of you in the Blue Book team to carry out these rosaries, to carry them out into the world and to spread them to the children and to the adults, to all.

6. Jesus: Satan will do everything to try to stop the rosary. You must come to My Heart and dwell in My Heart. You must come to My Heart at every second - this is your refuge against the darkness. You are the children of the light. You will carry this light when you come and dwell in My Heart.

7. R. The apostles were divided, always trying to see who was first and, when the Holy Spirit descended upon them, they were filled with God's love, joined in one mind and one heart and went into the world and many were converted. He is calling us to pray fervently to the Holy Spirit that we will be filled with the fire of God's love - that it will be a motivating force - a force that operates within us.

8. R. And the hearts knew the peace of God's love. The waters were ruffled on the surface but within there was this center of deepest peace as they dwelt in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Jesus: The world around you is in such turmoil and such pain. You have been called - you are so important to this plan. You do not comprehend the great gifts that you are given and how close I am to you. You must come to My Heart for the days ahead will be filled with much suffering and darkness. It is in dwelling in My Heart that you will find refuge against the darkest night. You see the night outside and how dark it is, and you see the light of day. I am the Almighty God. I am in control of the light and the darkness and am in your hearts at this moment and I am speaking to you. You must surrender and allow Me to operate within your hearts. I will fill your hearts with such love and you will be the light against the darkest night. I am the Almighty God. I am all powerful. (R. He said He was omnipotent.)

9. Jesus: I am Jesus, your Savior, I am with you at this moment - surrender and let Me lead you into the light - into the deepest chamber of My Heart.

10. Hail Mary

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Assumption of Our Blessed Mother into Heaven

1. Jesus: Division is from satan. You must release yourselves. If you are to have peace in your hearts, you must unite in love. At this moment come deeply into My Heart and join in one mind and one heart with every person in your life. Let go of all anxieties, hatred towards any one of your brothers, and come and unite in My Heart. If they are divided, they are divided. Your heart must be one with Mine and in My Heart there is not division, there is only love. My actions are those of love. I call you to come to the deepest chamber of My Heart and to feel the love of My Father.

2. R. I give myself to the heart of our heavenly Mother. It is there that I am made pure, that the Holy Spirit works within her heart to form me more and more in the image and likeness of her Son. It is in her pure heart that I can go deeper into the Heart of my beloved Savior. Mary is sinless. As we go to our heart and are carried deeply into the deepest chamber of Jesus' Heart, we unite in such love to the Father.

Jesus: My dear ones, feel the embrace of the Father's love. Feel complete and satisfied as you are wrapped in His embrace of love. This is your refuge against the dark night. No matter how you stumble or how you feel, you can always come to the deepest chamber of My Heart and find peace for I am waiting for you. It is there that you will unite to Me, that you will never be afraid, that you will know if the sun falls from the sky and the moon ceases to shine, if you are battered and beaten you will know that within My Heart you will have peace for I am the refuge against the dark night.

3. Jesus: It is in your struggles that you are taught the mightiest lessons. It is in the death that there is the resurrection. It is in every moment of your life, lived in this oneness in My Heart, that you will have peace in your heart and in this oneness I will shine to the world through you. Satan has attempted to divide you - I am the Almighty God. I am with you at this moment. You must surrender and proceed in love. I will never abandon you.

Song: I Have Called You By Name

4. Jesus: When you are joined in one heart in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, when you unite in your every action to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, grace is released on this world that is hurting and in pain. At this moment a soul is on the edge of death. You see as in a box with such limited vision. I am the Almighty God. See the soul, afraid and in sin, at the edge of death - it is in your holiness, it is in your uniting in one mind and one heart to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that you can pray for that soul. I am Jesus. I am calling you to pray for the souls, to unite to the Masses going on around the world. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present. This is a Fatima message.

5. Jesus: I am yours, I live in you. A dark cloud has come around your head. You must surrender and come to My Heart and you will see the light. I am with you in your every breath, your every heartbeat.

6. R. Mary was taken into heaven. We see these glorious mysteries of the rosary. We see Jesus, the Almighty God rises from the dead victorious after He was locked in the tomb - dead for three days. Jesus comes forth alive. We see Jesus in the Ascension go into the sky. We see the Holy Spirit ascend upon the apostles and these fearful men are all of a sudden filled with fearlessness when the Holy Spirit descends on them. The apostles were persecuted and locked in prison. They withstood such torture. They went into the world and many were converted because of their love.

    We see the Blessed Virgin. Mary was taken into heaven: body and soul - we are so blind, we see as in a box and God wants to give us wider vision, but we must go to Him silently, and in prayer and let Him work in our hearts. Let Him tell us of the great plan of the Father for each one of us and let Him give us information about Himself. It is only in these silent moments that we spend with Him that He can talk to us about our lives - our lives are ever noisy – we do not hear Him, many times, and He wishes to tell us about Himself and about our lives.

7. Jesus: I call you to the deepest, deepest chamber of My Heart. Look at the front of the Second Blue Book, study the picture of My Sacred Heart. You do not comprehend the white heat of My love. Feel the embrace of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Feel this love within your hearts for I am with you. I gave Myself on the cross. Do you see Me, covered with blood? Do you see My head crowned with thorns? Why do you not realize that I am with you at every second this day and I will not abandon you. I will lead you through all of your struggles and it is in those struggles that you will know greater life in Me.

8. R. Mary said in the Fatima message that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to hers. When we go to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, when we dwell in Their Hearts, They fill us with love. They listen to our petitions and pleas. As we are one in Their Hearts, our life becomes so united.

9. R. There is such division on the earth today – men hating men. Pray to God to lift up the world and dispel the darkness. Oh God, send Your grace because there are many dark hearts. There is hatred and violence and anger in the world today. Oh God outpour Your grace upon the earth - fill men's hearts with Your grace.

Jesus: My way is love. You must come to My Heart and I will bathe you in My love and many will see My life in your eyes.

10. Song: Immaculate Mary

Jesus: You must not hold back. I am asking you to surrender yourself and give to Me your all - all of your troubles, your thoughts - every, every part of yourself. I am Jesus. I want to unite in the deepest love with you, My chosen ones but you hold back so many things. Come to Me and I will fill you with My life. I will give you peace and joy in your hearts. In the midst of the storm you will know peace and love when you come to My Heart.

 

Mary is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth

1. R. I asked for a sign. I wanted a sign from the Almighty God. I felt Him as He breathed within me - so close in my heart, but I wanted a sign, something that was like the world but He said –

Jesus: I give you a greater gift. I give you a grace to want this intimacy with Me. You can look away and choose other things - your own glory, selfishness, pride, anger. I am the Almighty God - I am a Divine Being - you must be open to know more about Me. I am the ultimate mystery, My child.

2. R. What is His will at this moment? Is this His will for me? Let me surrender to His will for I do not know the great gift that comes from the deepest suffering.

Jesus: I am Jesus. I give to you My love in your heart and you want something else. Surrender in the Father's will at this moment (R. He is alive in the picture and covered with light.) I give to you such a gift and you want more. Surrender always to the will of the Father. I am allowing this to occur in your life at this moment. Accept the will of the Father and grow in the love of God.

Song: A Song from Jesus

3. R. They crowned Him with a crown of thorns and the blood came down His face and into His eyes, and into His ears. Mary was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. We do not know why He allows certain things to happen in our lives, but we know that in the suffering that He suffered far more for us. It is in the hardest struggles that we have learned the greatest lesson of His love, that we have united in such union with Him – it is in pain and suffering that we know that we can always go to Jesus and He is there. Intensely unite more closely to the Almighty God, the source of all life and all love. What a gift to give - to suffer, for the true treasure is the treasure to unite with the Almighty God. It is only His love that feeds our starved soul. God teaches us many lessons every moment of the day and we scoff and we cry and we complain, and we do not know the great gift that we are receiving when He allows us to struggle and to learn the lessons.

4. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God. She complied always to the Father's will and she was crowned with a crown of glory – Queen of Heaven and Earth. We do not comprehend the great plan of the Father, but we know that our only peace in our heart comes from doing His will in love, from living in His will, moment by moment, second by second, to live according to the Father's will in love with one another.

5. Jesus: Do not be anxious or afraid, I am with you at every moment until the ends of the earth. I will never leave you. You must not be afraid. I am with you at this moment in your struggle. I am the Almighty God. My power is endless. I fill you with My burning love and you will know peace and joy in your heart if you surrender and unite to Me.

6. Jesus: The storm may be so strong on the sea and the waves so high but deep within there is a calmness in the water. Your hearts may be anxious and filled with fear but if you are rooted in Me, in the center, you will know My peace for I am always with you at every moment, in every struggle. Come to My Heart and I will bathe you in My love.

7. R. It is in doing the Father's will as He wills us to live, not too much of some things or too little – exactly as He wishes us to live, that we will have peace within our hearts. Being disciplined as God intends. Going through the narrow gate.

8. R. Mary was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth and we too someday will be united in the deepest union, in a heavenly embrace, with the Almighty God where there will be no wanting and no pain and we will be satisfied, where we will love God with the greatest love and we will unite in such deep love with one another. We are imperfect here - we will have the fullness of life in heaven.

9. R. Our love is perfected more and more as we unite to Him. It is in dwelling in Their Hearts that we are raised to such holiness.

10. Jesus: I give you one another to care for and to love. You must come to Me and I will teach you the lessons of My love and you will carry these lessons out to this world. Mary was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth and heaven is for lovers – I died and rose because I want you to have the fullness of life in heaven. Come to My Heart and you will know peace and joy. Live always according to the Father's will in love. This is My plan, My dear ones.

R. Many times we thought we were doing His will when we were, in fact, doing our own will.

Jesus: I am calling you to silent prayer. Open your heart and listen – the Holy Spirit will help you to know God's will for you. So you follow the plan of God the Father.

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.
 

Jesus says: As you come to Me I reveal to you insights into the mystery of My love.

    I call you to love - love of God and love of each other. You are being taught every moment of your life more about My life. You must dwell in My Heart at every moment that you will learn the lesson that I wish to teach you. You may struggle and you may suffer but I am with you and it is in that struggle that you will have greater life in Me. I am Jesus. You do not know how tenderly I love you. If you knew minutely My love for you, you would never fear, for I am with you in every one of your struggles. Satan will press on this earth. He will press on each one of you and try to divide you to stop this work here. This work is to help renew the Church and the world. This work is also for future generations. You have been given a great gift for you have been called and chosen by the Almighty God to take these messages to this world. It displeases Me many times that you do not come and thank Me for the great gift I have given to you. Come to My Heart and tell Me of your love for Me, for I long and I thirst for your love. I long to have a personal relationship with you. I want you to love Me the most, that you love God first in your life. You should come to Me and tell Me how much you love Me and treat Me with such honor and gratitude. I am the Almighty God. I want to be one with you.

R. Who are we that the Almighty God wants to be one with us? And we look to such senseless comforts when every second He is there in our hearts and He wants to share our every thought and our every heartbeat, and we look for other things to fill our cravings in our soul and He cries out, over and over again –

Jesus: Tell them, tell them of My burning love. I am crying out to each person present and I have called this rosary to deliver this message to you. I am Jesus Christ, the Almighty God. You have been called and you have been chosen. You are My messengers that I have chosen to carry this message to the world. There are many souls at this moment on the edge of death that could go to hell for ever and ever. What you do with your lives is so important. You are the apostles I have chosen. You are the messengers. This is a gift for this world and for future generations. Will you answer this call? Will you put aside all the differences and hatred in your heart and come deeply into My Heart and be filled with My burning love? What you do can help the souls of so many. I cry out. I showed you My face with bloody tears for the souls that are being lost. Do you see – see in your heart – see your brother, or your mother – see them on the edge of death and see their soul. These are your brothers. You are all children of My Father. Give your life to Me, deliver this message, live this message, be witnesses of light. I am sending you, do not say no.

Song: By Name I Have Called You

    I am Jesus and I am with you – let go of any division in your heart. Come and live in My Heart. I am calling you to be in one mind and one heart as the apostles. Many will be converted because of the work you do here. I have called you because I knew you would answer the call. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. I am alive this day and I live within you, within your heart. You must come to Me that our hearts will be one in love and you will go out to the world that is suffering.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B —  The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ–." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
