March 7, 1995 - After Communion

Listen to Me

Jesus: It Is In Suffering that You are Strengthened

I am God, I am speaking to you, ready yourself
for your day is at hand. I give to you hand
delivered messages. My Mother appears as
Our Lady of Light and you moved her statue.
I am not taken seriously. I am calling
out to you and begging you to listen and
read these meditations on the rosary.

I am using this rosary as a power tool to
set the city on fire with the love of Myself
and My Mother.

I am calling. What do I do to get your
attention. I want you to read every
letter. I am God, I am speaking to
you here. I want to light this world
with the light of My love. I will
light this world through you if you
listen and help Me, obey Me —
You must be about our love affair.
You fight this union with Me. I am
longing your love. It is in your
committedness to Me you will
light this world with the Fire
of My Love. I beg you to come and
sit in front of My tabernacle and
after communion. I am Jesus, I want
to give you all you need. Minute
by minute, second by second, I
provide you with your needs. I
love you, I love you, I love you.
Be humble, be surrendering.
You are My instrument to light
this world with the Fire of My
Love. I have chosen you, I
love you so dearly. It is in this
surrender, you will light up the
world. Souls are at stake, souls
will be doomed to eternal damnation.
I am calling you to be My leader
to lead the soldiers into battle.
Soldiers filled with hearts on
Fire with My love.

The time is set, it is at hand, you
tarry, you test My Messenger. I am
the Almighty God and I am speaking
to you. You must not delay any longer,
you need to read all the messages,
I am giving you and support
this rosary. This rosary will
lead hearts to My intimate
love. I call, I write, I want
to be obeyed. Souls are at stake and
you contain the Mighty Medicine. I am
speaking to you, I beg you to read every
letter I give you.

You cannot light this city without a deep,
deep union with Me. You are chosen,
you I love so deeply, surrender and
come to My Heart. Pray to the Spirit.
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you to
take Me seriously.

    I am your Divine and ardent lover,
I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I
am He whose bootstraps you are
unworthy to tie and I speak
to you, My chosen, dearly
loved servant. Come and let Me
keep you forever in My Heart. Through
My Mother's most tender heart, I am
your beloved Savior, Jesus.

 

Luke 24: 5-6

...‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here; he has risen...

 

John 20: 26-27

...‘Peace be with you,’ he said. Then he spoke to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me your hand; put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving any more but believe.’

 

R. He is alive this day, we fail to see the risen Lord
    alive and in our midst.

Thomas had to put his hands in his side.

We look for the Risen Lord among
    the dead

We reach with hands that go no where,
    when He is there within our reach.

Go to Him for all knowledge — He knows all
    things, He can tell us in a second
    what we will never grasp in a thousand
    years.

Scholars are made in front of the tabernacle,
    God is their teacher.

You Are My Soldiers

Jesus:  You are My soldiers that I send into battle. The days will become more difficult. You must stay fixed in My Heart. Be alone with Me for short periods through the day. Go to a room and close the door and pray from your hearts. In several minutes I can work in your heart and give you relief from this troubled world.

    You are being called by Me and My Mother to be soldiers of love. Your hearts must forever be filled with My love.

    When you remove yourself during the day and you are alone with Me, even for a few moments, I can work in your heart to revitalize you and give you My life.

    I send you into battle into a world that has forgotten God, that is hurting and in pain. I ask you to take My call ever so seriously for I am truly Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and I call to you ever so gently in your heart today.

    My children are in pain. I want to love through you. Put aside any trouble, anger and hatred. Pray to the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to transform you more and more into My image. I ask you to march into the world with your hearts filled with My love. You are My soldiers. You are My chosen ones. You I call this day.

    Read My letters of love hand delivered to you. You will know more of My life within you. I love you so deeply. I call you. Will you answer?

    I am Jesus, your beloved Savior!

Shepherds of Christ Meeting

Glorious Mysteries

Feast of SS. Perpetua and Felicity


 

The Resurrection

1. R. Jesus was locked in the tomb for three days and on the third day, He rose from the dead. Death has no power over Jesus!

2. R. See Jesus in His glorified body! See His gentle eyes! See His body with the wounds in His hands and in His feet! Jesus has truly risen from the dead!

3. Mary Magdalene and some of the others went to the tomb. When they arrived at the tomb, the stone had been rolled back and in His place there was an angel who said:    Luke 24: 5 ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive?’

4. R. The risen Lord is in our midst this very day. He lives in us, His precious ones!

5. R. Look into the gentle eyes of Jesus. Do we look into the eyes of our brother and see Jesus Who lives within them?

6. R. Do we see the hungry? Do we see the old? Do we ever go to the nursing homes and see those poor souls that are there, loved by Jesus, but so rarely loved by some here. Do we give to those souls a hug? Are we so blind that we do not see Jesus in our brothers? He has said to us that what we do to the least of our brothers, we do unto Him!

7. Luke 24: 5  Terrified, the women bowed their heads to the ground. But the two said to them, ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive?’

    R. Why do we not see Jesus in the eyes of our brothers?

8. Song:  Whatsoever You Do to the Least of My Brothers

9. R. How blind we are that we see only what we want to see. God looks at all His children. He looks at all the precious souls. Jesus knows all the precious souls that He gave His life for. The Father created each and every soul with such love. God lives in us today. Do we see or do we cover our eyes?

10. R. Take the blinders from our eyes that we may see more and more with the vision of God!

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts 

    

 
The Ascension

1. R. Jesus remained with them forty days, appearing to them and breaking bread with them.

2. R. Jesus gave to the apostles the power to baptize and to forgive sins. It is through baptism that we are made children of God and heirs of heaven. We are given a sharing in His Divine life through Baptism. Our God is so good to us that He gives to a priest the power to forgive our sins. Are we blind or do we not see how Jesus is with us today in Church? We are the body of Christ. He is the Head, we are the members. We are all one body in Him. How He loves each and every precious member of His body. Every person is precious to Him.

Song:  Whatsoever You Do

3. Luke 24: 50-51  Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven.

    John 14:27  Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you.

4. R. Jesus ascended into Heaven. Think of the apostles in the field below as they watch Jesus ascend into Heaven. They were awestruck! Jesus had told them things would happen, but they did not see and they did not hear. Jesus speaks to us this day through His Word. Jesus gives us His Word. We must pray to the Spirit to open our hearts to hear His Word and let it live in our hearts.

5. R. Out of greatest love for each of us, Jesus remains with us this day in the Eucharist. Jesus is as present in the Eucharist as the day He walked the earth. He is truly present in His Divinity and humanity, Jesus remains waiting for us to come and to be with Him. Our beloved Savior, rose from the dead to give us new life. Jesus gives us His Divine Love. Jesus gives us His Body and Blood every day in the Mass.

6. R. These are truly the glorious mysteries that Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven and the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles.

7. Jesus: Meditate on the mysteries of My life and My Mother's life. I give to you the rosary. I give to you this rosary. My Mother and I are one. Meditate on Our lives and you will realize more and more that We are with you this day. We live in your heart.

8. R. See the consecrated host. See the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, Who remains with us. The Son of God! Jesus is no less present than the day that Mary carried Him in her womb. Jesus calls out to us to come and be close to Him. Look at the consecrated host. Pray to the Spirit to open our eyes for we are truly blind and we do not see.

9. Song: I Love You Jesus

10. R. Jesus died so that we may have life and have it to the full in heaven.

Song: I am the Bread of Life

R. Jesus remains with us this day in the Eucharist. Who are we that He gives us His Body and His Blood to eat?

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit      

 

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1. Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, Jesus told the Apostles:
    Acts 1: 5  ‘John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’

2. Acts 2: 1-3  When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.

3. Jesus: Live the mysteries of this rosary in your lives. Pray to the Holy Spirit every day. I beckon you to pray to Him. The Spirit will live within you and lead you to closer union with Me and with the Father. You can not go one day without praying to the Spirit. I beckon all of you to pray to the Spirit to work in your lives. It is so important that you listen to My call.

4. R. They were filled with the Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues as the Spirit prompted them to do.

5. R. They went out to preach the Gospel and all understood!

6. Jesus: It is through the rosary that you know more and more the oneness between Me and My Mother. You should realize this oneness of Our Two Hearts, this intimacy between Our Two Hearts. The Spirit works to transform you more and more into My image and lead you ever closer to the Father. It is in praying the rosary and meditating on Our lives that you know the unity of My Heart and My Mother's Heart. Whenever you pray the rosary, begin the rosary by praying to the Spirit to lead you into a deep meditation into Our lives. Allow the Spirit to work in your heart so that you may meditate more deeply on the mysteries in the rosary. I am Jesus, Your Savior. I forever want to be so close to you. The rosary is My most powerful tool to help bring you closer to My Most Sacred Heart. I am burning and on fire for love of each of you this day. Please beckon to My call. I am with you in such a special way. You are My soldiers that I will send into battle, to fight the battle, to spread the love of My Heart and My Mother's Heart into this world. Meditate on the mysteries of the rosary as given here. Meditate from your heart. Say each prayer and pray to the Spirit to lead you on your way.

7. R. Move in our hearts, O Spirit of God! Come alive inside of us so that we may be filled with the fire of the love of God, so we may know this vibrancy, this deep burning love, the love of God!

Song: Come Holy Spirit

Jesus: My Heart is burning ever deeper and deeper for love of you. I long to bring you so close to My Heart. God is love. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit exist in perfect love. The more you are one with the Trinity, the more you will unite to others. You must forever model yourself after the love of the Trinity. I want you to love your brothers with such deep love. God is love! Love. God loves you!

8. Jesus: There are Three Persons in one God in the Trinity. I call you to be one. As you become more one, you will know greater peace.

9. Song: One Bread One Body

Jesus: I give you My Body and Blood this day! When you receive Me in the Eucharist, you become more one in Me! When your brothers receive Me in the Eucharist, they become more one in Me! You are so closely united in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with those who receive My Body and Blood.

10. Jesus: I call you to unity! I call you to love! If you are to unite, there cannot be hatred or anger in your heart. You must rid yourself of the debris in your heart. There is such love between the Father and the Holy Spirit and Me. You must focus on love always. Your hearts must be pure and holy. Rid yourself of anger and hatred toward your brother. I call you today to clean your hearts, to come to Me with a heart that is pure.

Song: Come Holy Ghost

Jesus: I love you! I love you! I love you!

Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit     

 

  

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven

1. R. Mary remained on the earth many years after Jesus was taken into Heaven.

2. R. Mary loved Jesus so much.

3. R. Mary is one with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

4. R. Our union in Heaven depends on the union we have with God here on earth. He longs to be close to each one of us. In Heaven we will be united for ever and ever and ever in the deepest union with Him.

5. John 14: 2  In my Father’s house there are many places to live in  

Jesus: I long to be closely united to each one of you, My precious souls! Come closer and closer to My Most Sacred Heart for I am waiting for you with My Burning Heart. I beg you this day, take time in your busy lives and come to Me. As you are in your hearts, you will be in this world. As you become one in Me, you will give My love to this world that is hurting. I want to be one with you. I want to be one in you. Come to Me, My precious ones! How I long and am waiting for you to be joined closely to Me!

6. R. Dear Blessed Mary, if we ever lose our way, please lead us back to the Sacred Heart of your beloved Son through your tender Immaculate Heart.

7. R. Our true home is in Heaven!

8. R. All we have to do is walk down the halls of a nursing home to see how very frail we are and how this life is so short. But what awaits he who loves and serves the Lord!

9. Jesus: I call out to you, My Mother calls out to you this day, to come for Our love and to spread this love in the highways and the byways, to the souls that are hurting, the souls that will be lost. I beg you as My soldiers to take this job seriously. Who will I call if you do not answer? My precious chosen ones, I call you to spread My love throughout this world! I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I died for you! Will you answer My call to love your brothers?

10. Jesus: How many of My precious children are hungry and in pain, are hurting and unloved? Pray to the Spirit to open your eyes to see the world that is before you, to not close your eyes and your hearts, but to open them wide to see what I am calling you to do on this earth. You are here for such a short while and what awaits is eternity for those who love and serve the Lord. I call to you! Will you answer?

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit.      

 

  

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

2. Revelation 12: 1  And there appeared in the sky a woman clothed as the sun and the moon under her feet and there were twelve stars about her head. 

3. Song: Immaculate Mary

4. R. We are so frail! Life is so short, the batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin! Jesus calls to us this day to focus on Him, to realize that life is passing. But what awaits he who loves and serves the Lord!

5. Song: Eye Has Not Seen

6. R. The Father sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into this world so that we might be saved and live for ever in the courts of Heaven.

Song after decade: Come Holy Spirit  

R. This rosary was prayed at the Shepherds of Christ Meeting at the front of the Rosary Chapel.

        

    

March 8, 1995 - Nursing Home Message  - 2:25 p. m.

He Knocks at the Door of our Hearts

Jesus: I will knock on the door of their hearts and whoever opens I will come in and I will sup with thee.

John 14: 6   I am the Way; I am Truth and Life... 

Jesus: I am He Whose bootstraps you are unworthy to fasten and I come to you with greatest love, My beloved dear ones.

    Oh, how I love thee. Oh, how I wait for you. I ardently love you with an unfathomable love, yet you keep yourselves at arm's length from Me. Some never even come close to Me.

    I stand, I knock. I wait so patiently. Gently, I treat you. You do not comprehend the great love I have for you.

    I beckon you to listen to My words here, for I truly speak to you. Remove the crust from your eyes. Pray that you may see with hearts that are open to Me, that clear vision is had in your hearts. You look, you wonder, you roam, you cover your eyes. You close your hearts and I watch you, so gently do I tap. So willful you are and set in your ways.

    I knock, I knock, I knock so gently and patiently. All that you want, all that you need is found in Me, yet you turn your backs and miss My great love for you.

    My dear, dear loved ones. I love you with unfathomable love. I knock, I knock, I knock minute-by-minute, second-by-second. I tend to your needs. Harken to My call. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am Jesus, your Savior on fire for love of you, My dear, dear chosen ones.

    You think I do not know your sufferings. I know everything about you. I ponder the ways of your heart. I know you far better than you know yourself. I am Jesus, your beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of your soul. Harken to Me. I love you, I love you, I love you. This is My love letter to you, My sweet ones.

Joyful Mysteries
Feast of St. Frances of Rome
First Week of Lent
, Thursday

The Annunciation

1. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the Mother of Jesus.

2.  Luke 1: 38  Mary always complied to the Father's will. Mary said ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’...  

3. R. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

4. R. Let us meditate on the incarnation. God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into this world out of greatest love for each one of us. He comes to us a helpless little baby in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

5. R. We do not see any of His power and majesty. We see Mary as she carried the child Jesus. Within Mary's womb was God! The visible eye does not behold the majesty of the Almighty God as the visible eye does not behold the majesty of the Almighty God present in the Eucharist.

6. R. When the priest holds up the consecrated Host, when we see Jesus exposed in the Monstrance, this is Jesus Who was inside of Mary's womb and hung for three agonizing hours on the cross. Give us the grace to more and more realize that this is truly God, that He is present with us. Help us to let go, to quit holding on, to let go and experience God that is in our midst this very day. This same Jesus Christ Who hung on the cross remains in the Tabernacle in this room with us in the consecrated host. We should be on the floor in such awe that God is truly present - in this very room in the Eucharist.

7. R. Jesus is truly present here. Minute by minute, second by second, God dwells in our graced baptized soul. God is inside of our hearts with such love. We do not take the time, we keep ourselves at an arms length from Him when He is so close. It takes meditating on His presence, the reality that God dwells in our graced baptized soul in a special way.

8. R. We are immensely blind! The Son of God is in our midst. He asks us to have faith, to know that one day we can be with Him, the Father and the Holy Spirit in such an immense union in Heaven. He comes and calls us to love. Mary always did the will of the Father. We are to live in the Father's will, to be children of the Father.

9. Jesus: Be as little babies at the breast. Let go, surrender. The work that I have for you is work that requires your surrender. You must let go and experience the great grace that I am giving to you to feel My presence with you, to know that I am talking to you. It takes letting go! You must not hold back. Believe! You will be close to My Heart. If you let go and you believe, you can experience such closeness that you will be at joy and peace in your heart. You must let go and realize that I am dealing with you minute by minute, second by second. The very hairs of your head are numbered. I never leave you. I am so close to you. My Mother is forever by your side.

10. R. Mary suffered much ridicule in her life, but she knew the Father's love, she knew the Father's will, she knew what it was to have the Son of God within her.

Jesus: I give Myself to you. I come into your heart in the Eucharist. Who are you, that I, God, come inside of you! You must let go and focus on My presence with you. Let go of all distractions and let Me permeate your being and penetrate your soul for I am truly here in My Divinity and humanity and I fill you abundantly with My grace, My life in you.

(Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria. Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria)

Song: Praise God from who all blessing flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

   

 

The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth

1. R. Mary made haste to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth who was with child.

2. When she arrived, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out in a loud voice:   "‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?" Luke 1: 42-43

3. R. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and called out in a loud voice the Magnificat.

4. Luke 1: 46-48

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
 

5. Luke 1: 49

for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,

6. R. The child within Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the sight of Mary and Jesus. Even before his birth, John the Baptist proclaims the glory of the Lord from the womb of his mother.

Song: A Voice Cries Out in the Wilderness

7. R. As John the Baptist prepared the way for the coming of Christ, Jesus asks us to be witnesses today — spreading the good news. Jesus died! Jesus rose. He will come again!

8. Luke 1: 76

     And you, little child,
     you shall be called
         Prophet of the Most High
      for you will go before the Lord
      to prepare a way for him,

9. R. Shout it from the highways and the byways that Jesus is Lord — He has died — He has risen!

10. R. Zachary's tongue was loosed. He could speak and he said: "He name will be John"! Jesus calls us by name. He calls us to go out into the world and to spread the Gospel for it is truly the Good News! He is in our midst this very day and His love is without bounds. We have such Good News to spread. Who are we that God loves us so much and why would we want to hold this Good News back from the world? God is a good God. In His Majesty and Might, He came into this world a helpless baby for greatest love of each and every soul. He gave His flesh, He gave His Blood, He gave His all that souls might have eternal life and have it to the full!

Song: I come to you with greatest love

(Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria. Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria)

   

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. Jesus came into this world in a stable in the town of Bethlehem. He laid His head in a manger because there was not room for Him in the
Inn. He died on a cross, hanging on bare wood. Jesus came to show us the way, to show us that the way to eternal happiness is not with the things of this world, but the way to eternal happiness is to surrender our lives totally to Him, to God the Father's will. This is the way to everlasting life! Our goal is to love God with our whole heart, our whole soul and our whole being and love our neighbor as our self. But our goal is to love and obey God to go to heaven. We are children of God. God wants us to know His immense love. He wants us to love Him and to love one another. Jesus' birth is love, the immense love He has for us. The Father sent His only begotten Son into this world. Who are we that God loves us so much? When we feel love in our hearts, we can get scared and shut our hearts down. God is Love! Let His love permeate our being and fill our hearts with warmth and joy. Love as Jesus loved us, always giving, always caring, always kindness. He comes to each one of us to be His spouse, to be so closely united to us that minute by minute, the Bridegroom of our Soul waits in our heart, waits for us to realize His immense love for us.

2. Jesus is the Bridegroom of our soul. We can unite with God Who wants intimacy with us. God is love. God is all holy and pure. He calls us to holiness, to be more and more perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. But to realize that when we sin, we can go to Him and tell Him as a small child "I am sorry", and to move on to love again in this world which is in need of God's love coming through us.

3. Love cannot unite with hate. The reward of ridding ourselves of bitterness and anger, of coming from a place of kindness and purity and gentleness, is a closer and closer union with our Precious Lord. Jesus died and rose!

4. He is truly present in the Eucharist. Think about the Incarnation. See the immense love that the Father has for us, that He sent His only begotten Son into the world.

5. Song: I come to you with greatest love

Jesus is in our midst this day, no less present than the day He was in the stable in Bethlehem. He is in the Tabernacle, the same Jesus. His presence is the same with us in this room in the Eucharist.

6. Picture the child Jesus in the manager in Bethlehem. See the baby! See Mary and Joseph! Would you like to be there, to be with Jesus? Jesus is with us this day and He is here in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity no less present than He was in the crib in Bethlehem. How blind we are! How we turn off our hearts and He knocks and knocks and knocks to enter and be ever closer to us!

Jesus: If the world hates you, remember how they hated Me!

7. The angels sang and the shepherds watched! The Child Jesus, the little child, was born in a stable in Bethlehem. The Child Jesus is so much with us. In praying to the Child Jesus we can become closer and closer and closer to God. To want to know Jesus from His childhood through His whole life until He ascended into Heaven. To meditate on this. Praying to the Child Jesus is so powerful.

8. We want to live the mystery of Jesus' life, death and resurrection in our lives. He remains with us with greatest love today!

9. Song: Oh Burning Heart, O Love Divine

10. Sing: Silent Night

(Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria. Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria)

 

 

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1. Jesus was taken up to the Temple. Joseph, Mary and Jesus met Simeon.  We are given the sacrament of baptism. God lavishly gives His love to us. In baptism we receive a sharing in His life.

2. Focus now on the love God is outpouring in your heart, the oneness God wants with us. Let go! Believe in what you are hearing here! Just experience the love that Jesus and Mary want to outpour to you. Empty your mind of any distractions with your family, with your work, and be focused on God's presence in you. Believe with all your heart.

3. Mary and Jesus' eyes peered into each other's eyes!

Jesus: Such love I have for My Mother! Such suffering I saw on her face! Her face covered with tears, reddened and so sorrowful! Do you know what it is to see someone you love in such pain? This is the love that My Mother and I have for you.

4. Jesus: Focus on the Passion, focus on Our sufferings. Take time this Lent and be with Me in the Passion. Your rewards will be so great for I will give you abundant graces to meditate on My Passion. Let the mystery live in your lives. Will you let go as I ask you?

5. Jesus: Think of Me in your heart! See My Mother as she held Me in her arms and see her now as Our eyes meet on the way to Calvary. This oneness between Me and My Mother is so great. You will know more and more of My Love when you pray to be united ever closer to My Mother. She is your key to intimacy with Me.

6. Jesus: Always pray to the Holy Spirit before every rosary. Sing the song "Come Holy Spirit" often throughout your day.

7. Jesus: Keep your minds pure, holy and upward lifted. Do not give in to yourselves. Do not let satan taunt you. Keep your minds always rooted in Me for I am outpouring abundant graces to each one present in these rosaries. I am truly here with you in these rosaries. Listen to Me speak, speaking in every letter that I write. Every word that I speak of My love are My words to you. You will have greater union with Me if you will read these letters with such intense love in your heart. Pray to have faith. Believe. It is in this belief you will be united closely to Me. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and I want you to do this work.

8. Jesus: Do you want union with Me? I speak to Rita over and over again. Read these letters. When you read these letters with faith, you will experience a presence that you cannot explain. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is in your graced baptized soul. When you read the letters, focus on this indwelling of the Trinity in your heart, for God is present in a special way in the graced baptized soul. It is in your belief that you will experience greater union.

9. Jesus: Seeing and hearing are not the keys to this union. It is deep seeded in your hearts. You must let go. Believe! Focus on your hearts! Do not focus on miracles! Do not focus on signs! Focus on the presence in your hearts. Read the letters as coming from Me so that every word is a light that radiates in your being, a light that will shine to the darkened world. You do not know the seriousness of the problems of this world. Souls are blind, deaf and dumb!

10. Jesus: I am calling you to intense union with Me so that I can operate from your very being. The situation is so serious. People's hearts are cold and dark. I cry out to you from the depth of My soul to listen to My pleading for souls will be condemned to eternal damnation and you contain personal love letters from Jesus Christ, the Son of God, love letters that will melt the hardened hearts. I ask you to help Me spread this message to the world.

The Finding of the Jesus in the Temple

1. Jesus: Make a place for the Child Jesus in your heart, now. I stand at the door of your heart and I tap ever so gently. You do not realize the immensity of My love. Open up your hearts to Me for I am here and in your midst. I want to give you My love.

2. Song: Come unto Me all who are weary

3. Jesus: I call out to you from the depths of My Heart and you block My union with you. I want to be so closely united. This is My life that I am outpouring to you. You will feel me filling your soul. Nothing in your world compares to this — I outpour My grace.

4. Jesus: Total peace! Total surrender! I am Jesus, your Savior. You must come to Me, for I truly want to be one with you! I send you into the world as My special soldiers to spread the light of My love in every corner of this world.

5. Jesus said: I am the Way; I am Truth and Life...  John 14: 6

Jesus: I come to you with greatest love. I am All Powerful! I am All Knowing! I remain with you in the Tabernacle this day. I outpour to you grace and wisdom as you come and sit with Me. Grace and wisdom as you will never find in this world. Come to Me! Come to Me in silence throughout the day, little periods of silence. When you feel unsettled, come and sit for three minutes and let go and focus on Me and My love, the love in My Heart. Come through My wounded side into My Most Precious Heart.

6. Jesus: Through My pierced side, I give Myself to you. You come to My pierced side and enter into the abundant love that I outpour to you in My Heart. Come and rest in My Heart. As you yearn to be ever closer to My Heart, come deeply into the wound in My side and you will enter the love of My Most Sacred Heart.

7. Jesus: You are children who need to be taught. I teach all My precious ones with such wisdom. Do not tell yourselves that you will not understand. As I give, you will receive. I outpour My grace to you. I outpour My grace abundantly to those who come to Me and sit with Me in front of the Tabernacle. Do you want to know Me more, then you will come and be with Me. Be with Me after communion and stay with Me. I outpour My grace to you after communion, My abundant grace, I give you wisdom and you know Me more intimately

8. Jesus: How many of My precious souls are so lost and cannot find their way? I send you out into this world. I send you into battle, with your hearts filled with My love.

9. Song: Come unto Me all who are weary

10. Jesus: Minute by minute, second by second, I provide you with all you need.

(Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria. Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria)

 

This rosary was prayed before Jesus and Our Mother of Sorrows in the Holy Spirit Chapel. Rita, Cathy, Joe and Marty were present.

Both Rita and Marty were deeply experiencing special gifts. Rita stated after the Second Mystery that Mary was glistening in white - light all around her. Rita privately thanked Mary and stated that Mary responded: "thank you for all the work you are doing".

Pray the Rosary

Mary: Why do you not get the priest's attention about the rosary.
My Son will get his attention and it will not be
the way He wants. He will change their hearts
through many trials that will purify their
souls. You must pray for him constantly. He
is the key to light up this world. He and
Fr. Carter are the instruments we are
using to light up a dark world. You
must pray for his surrender and
openness to my Son's messages.

Jesus: I am operating from you,
I am talking from you. Your
job is at hand. You must spread these
messages to the ends of the earth. Do not
think of what you said to the priest, you
must have courage. I want to reach
souls through your mouth. You must
say as you are told and realize, I am
speaking through you. You are My
instrument, I gift the world through
your speech. You must speak as
I tell you. Minute by minute, I am
one in you. Child let go.

 

March 9, 1995 - After Communion Fr. Carter's Mass

The Pierced Side

R. Through the pierced heart of Jesus we are
    given such love.

Jesus: Enter into My heart through My pierced
    side, I will hold you in My Heart and
    you will rest in My abundant love.

You I have chosen, you I tend to,
    I give you as you need, I give
    you My great love, poured
    forth from My pierced Heart.

(I wanted to be so wrapped up in Him. I knew
this same Jesus I received in communion was the same Jesus
who died on the cross. I wanted to go so deeply
into His wounds as I behold His wounded body.
I wanted to go so deep into His side because
it would take me into His most precious Heart.
The source of His great love for me.)

Jesus: I love you, I love you, I love you. I write for you My child,
it is through My pierced side you will enter deeper and deeper
into the inner sanctuaries of My precious Heart. Dwell
in such peace and love there. No arrow shall befall you,
nothing shall strike you down, for to His angels He has given
a command to guard you in all your ways.

 

March 10, 1995

My Pierced Heart

Jesus: Through My pierced Heart you will enter
there in My Heart full with such
love, for you My beloved.

As they pierced My Heart with a lance, I
    offer you entry through My
    precious side. The entry way into
    My Heart.

Deeply I plant you in the sanctuaries
    of My love.

As you penetrate so deeply My most
    precious wounds you will be
    led to such depths in My Heart.

Go to My Heart now, My endless love will
    envelope you and you will be in
    such peace.

Do not ponder negative thoughts in
    your head. Satan wants you
    bowed down and wanted you
    stopped.

Come into My Heart through My pierced
    side. As you dwell deeply in My
    wound you go to the very depths of
    My Heart.

    I am Jesus, My child, I shelter you, deeply
in My Heart. Nothing shall befall you for
you have the key to everlasting peace.
In My Heart you will dwell forever and
forever.

    Think of My Mother and her great love for
you. The Heart is a symbol of her great
love. Mary loves you so much, My dear child.
This is your beloved Mother, I give her to you.
You shall not want for love again.
I am forever with you in deepest love.
Come deeply into My Heart through the
deep love of My Mother. Deeply she
places you in My Heart. Penetrate the
wound in My side and be into the endless
fountain of life and love.

    I am the Good Shepherd. I placed My beloved
sheep close to My Heart. The entry way is
through My pierced side. Come and
dwell deeply in My love.

R. Jesus is the Bridegroom of our Soul

See her as she holds the child Jesus so tenderly

See her as she holds His lifeless battered body
    on her lap.

I see Him hanging on the cross, this same
    infant child, so sweet so young, still
    so sweet so giving.

He gave His all, see the nails that punctured
    His hands and feet, the crown they put
    on His head.

I hear Him sing loud and clear in My head  
    I come to you with greatest love,
    I am your loving Savior, I am your
    God, I died for you, I come to you

Cold Hearts

Jesus: Something will happen very soon My dear
    one, people's hearts have turned
    cold, their hearts are hollow and without
    care.

 

March 12, 1995 - Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Mary says Spread Our Messages

Mary: I have sent to you and my Son has sent to you
what you need. You do not listen to these letters.

    You are selling this great product to the
world, personal love letters from Jesus
and Mary, powered by the grace of God.

    When people read these letters their hearts
are turned to my Son's burning love.

    I am so sad that I am being ignored about
the rosary. This is a powerful tool to
bring men's hearts to the love my Son
and I have for you. Our hearts are
the symbols of Our great love for you.

    You have the mighty medicine for the world.
You can sell books with large print
in nursing homes. Select letters
that are appropriate for the people
in nursing homes. Letters to draw
them to His love, letters to ask
them to pray for the priest.

    These letters are for the world.
Talk in the nursing homes, talk to
prayer groups, you sit around
and look at each other, but you do
not listen to the rosary, you do
not read the letters. Your answers
for your problems are found in
these letters.

    I tell you, I ask you to spread
the meditations and books, you
want to do it your way. I am appearing
as Our Lady of Light, you received
special graces on March 5, I first
came on the 5th of July.

    You are missing the information
my Son and I are giving you. You take
these letters so lightly. You have
been given songs, Rita has tapes,
tape the Blue Book Meeting and
sell the tapes.

    You are to spread this love
throughout the world. Your key
is in these letters and rosary meditations.
My Son is gentle in His ways, He has
written so many letters. I ask you
as your Heavenly Mother to answer
my call and respond.

    You continue to do things your way.
The Father has a plan. You get human
minds doing human things. His plan
is a Divine Plan to spread the love
of God across this land. You have personal
love letters from my Son Jesus, six
books, a rosary book and a
second soon. You do not have to
put all the meditations in one book.
I beg you to publish the rosary
meditations. Spread these books
and meditations to the children.

    I appear, my Son is giving you
so many messages. Sell the books
when you give talks. Give books to
priests and sisters. My Son has requested
to give the second book to priests and
sisters. The other books will sell by the
popularity of the first two books.
Please, pray in silence before my
Son Jesus to receive direction. You do not
read these messages or listen to the
rosary. You are missing the information
we are giving you. Human minds get
human results. We are speaking to
you and you do not pay heed.

    My Son wants these messages and
rosary meditations published. He will
get the attention of those involved.
I ask you to listen to my plea.
I am Mary your Mother and
Thank you for responding to my
plea.

My Blood Shed for You

R. After Fr. Carter's Mass

How I have sinned and You have paid the price.
I see You Jesus battered from head to toe, the
blood as it runs down Your precious face,
the gash over Your eye. I see them as they
hit Your precious head crowned with
thorns. I see a particularly deep, deep
gash on Your arm, which is
particularly open and bleeding so much.
I see You Jesus Your hands tied in front
of You and You cannot even tend to Your
bleeding wounds. The blood pours down
Your face and You cannot even catch
the blood. Let me look at You and study
You Lord, You look at peace and full
of love in Your battered state. Oh Jesus,
Jesus, my beloved, this is the love You
have for me, as I study Your face and see
Your wounds, I see the intense love
You have.

Jesus: Oh My dear, dear child, do you know, do
you know just a little of My deep love,
focus on My blood shed for you, it is a
key to understanding My great love for You.

R. That gash to Your arm Lord, is that gash
the one You suffered from my sins. Does
it bleed when I said yes to sin and no to
You? You suffered for love of me. Let me
forever make recompense for my sins.
My great sins, my little sins, all the
sins that I have committed that made You
suffer and bleed. Oh my Savior, how precious
are You to me. "I see the host, I know you're
here to love and care for me."

    "I love you this day, I am your ardent
love, you wander oh so far, your
soul knows it is hungry for only
My love."

    It hurts me so when I said yes
to sin and no to You. When I see
You streaming with blood, it hurts
me so when I said yes to sin and
not to You.


 

March 12, 1995

Glorious Mysteries
Second Sunday of Lent

The Resurrection

1. R. Jesus died and was locked in the tomb for three days. On the third day He rose to bring us new life. Jesus is the Victor!!

2. Mary Magdalene and some of the others went to the tomb and an angel was there and asked them: ...‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? Luke 24: 5

3. R. They did not understand all the references in the Scriptures and all the things Jesus had said about how He would rise from the dead.

4. R. Three days He was locked in the tomb! Three days He was lost in the Temple! Three times Peter denied him. He died when He was thirty-three! There are so many "threes" throughout His life. Three stands for the Trinity.

5. R. His life is poured out in such abundance to us. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism. Through baptism we become children of God and heirs of Heaven.

6. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

7. R. The apostles had locked themselves in the Upper Room and He appeared to them and they did not recognize Him at first. They thought they were seeing a ghost.

8. John 20: 24-29

    Thomas, called the Twin, who was one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, 'We have seen the Lord,' but he answered, 'Unless I can see the holes that the nails made in his hands and can put my finger into the holes they made, and unless I can put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe.' Eight days later the disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them. The doors were closed, but Jesus came in and stood among them. ‘Peace be with you,’ he said. Then he spoke to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me your hand; put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving any more but believe.’ Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him: 

    You believe because you can see me. 
    Blessed are those who have not seen 
        and yet believe.

9. R. We see before us the visible world, but many things about God are mysteries. It is through faith that we believe. Strengthen our faith and help our unbelief.

10. R. We walk this earth and we want to be so sure. Jesus asks us to trust and to have faith.

(Song between decades: Come Holy Ghost)

 

The Ascension

1. R. Jesus rose from the dead, His body glorified, glistening in light! Think of how it would be to see Jesus in such glory before our eyes and to know what we believe is true. When we go to Heaven we will see God. We will know things that we want to know. Think how it will be to see the glorified body of both Jesus and Mary.

2. R. Reach beyond that which is visible. Reach and see through the eyes of God. See through the eyes of faith. Ponder the mystery — pray to know Jesus, truly present, in the Eucharist. Jesus comes to us truly present in the Eucharist — Jesus is present in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity.

3. R. Jesus is calling us to a great mission. He sent the apostles out into the world to preach the Gospel. He calls us to spread the Good News. He has chosen each one of us especially to go out and carry out this mission. We follow Jesus.

4. R. Jesus raised His arms and ascended into Heaven. The apostles were awestruck as they looked from the field below. Jesus remains with us this day. He remains with us. Jesus is present in the Eucharist. Jesus is telling us His truths in His Word. He gives us the Church.

5. R. Open up our eyes! Where we are blind, help us to see. Dear Spirit, help us to comprehend more and more insight into the divine mysteries that only You can impart to us.

6. R. Their hearts were opened and their minds filled with wisdom as He outpoured His grace to them. He gave them so many gifts that only God can give. Open our hearts God — please give us wisdom. Work in us —

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

7. Jesus: I shower you with such great blessings. I remain with you forever present in the Eucharist. I pour out to you abundant graces as you sit in front of the Tabernacle and receive Me in Communion. Do not be discouraged. Know that I am here minute by minute, second by second, with My overabundant love that I outpour to you. You are in the presence of the Almighty God and you sit bowed down and fret and feel miserable in your hearts. I look at you and I love you with great love. God is here and in your midst in this room before the Eucharist. Open up your hearts. Forget about the distractions that satan has planted in your head. Totally trust. Ask for more and more faith. Believe!

R. Oh God I love you!!

8. Song: I come to you with greatest love

Jesus: As you live more and more in the Father's will, you will be as the Father intended you to be: My special, special loving children that I send into this world to carry My message and spread My love to all those who are hurting. Feel the strength that I impart to you. You will fly on eagle's wings. Let go of the confusion and doubt that satan has tried to make and trust in Me.

9. Song: I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

10. Song: O Burning Heart, O love Divine 

(Song between decades: Come Holy Ghost)

 

Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles

1. Song: Praise God from Whom all blessing flow

2. Acts 2: 1-4

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

3. R. Give to us Your spirit. Fill our hearts with the fire of Your love. Help us to have more and more faith to do the work that the Father has planned for us. Help us to have strength. Dear Mary, lead us ever closer to the Heart of your Son through His pierced side. In suffering, we can be close to Jesus. Because it is in suffering that we seek Him so much and we can sometimes, feel Him so close through the suffering. Even though we suffer, there is joy in this suffering because we are so close to Him.

4. R. Dear Holy Spirit, You are the spouse of the Virgin Mary. Help us to realize the intimacy between Jesus and His Mother and as we realize this oneness, transform us into the image of Jesus, our Precious Savior and lead us to our Father.

5. Song: Come Holy Ghost

6. Jesus: You may weep and feel forlorn, but you must come to My Heart. Come through My pierced side into My Heart. Find your rest and your shelter in My Heart.

7. Jesus: When you pray, go to your room, close the door and be alone with Me. Allow Me to speak in your heart. Even for small moments during the day, when you feel frustrated, you must come to Me and let Me replenish you.

8. Jesus: Hold tightly, My beloved ones, because time is so short and I am with you at all times. Turn your minds and your hearts to Me. If you feel discouraged, you must come to My Heart. Do not let satan talk in your head because satan surely wants to stop you. You are My soldiers that I am sending out to this sick world. If he can influence you, whom I am talking to, who will do the work that I am calling you to do?

9. Song: Come unto Me all who are Weary

10. R. The world has closed their eyes and plugged up their ears and satan is working on you to try and get you to stop. You must be strong. You must come and dwell in My Heart for I give you My abundant love, I nourish you, I protect you, and I love you, I love you, I love you!

(Song between decades: Come Holy Ghost)

 

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven

1. R. See Mary as she is taken up to Heaven, body and soul.

2. R. Mary's Heart is filled with such joy to be united with her Son, and the Father and the Holy Spirit.

3. R. Mary's glorified body is in Heaven along with Jesus' glorified body.

4. 1 Corinthians 15: 50-52

    What I am saying, brothers, is that mere human nature cannot inherit the kingdom of God: what is perishable cannot inherit what is imperishable.

5. R. Focus now on the glorified body of Jesus Christ.

6. R. See Him clothed in light.

7. Jesus: You will know abundant peace in your trials.

8. Jesus: I am truly with you and giving and providing for all your needs.

9. Jesus: Trust totally in Me, My beloved ones.

10. Jesus: Surrender to the will of the Father as Mary, My Mother, surrendered to the Father's will.

(Song between decades: Come Holy Ghost)

 

Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

1. R. Jesus loves us so much that He remains with us in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity. Go to Him.

2. R. Jesus loves His Mother so much. He wants us close to her, to realize she is with us, we must pray to her. She walks by our side and mothers us with such maternal love and wants to lead us closer and closer to His love.

3. Revelation 12: 1

    Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

4. R. Mary is Queen in the courts of Heaven with her beloved Son.

5. R. Mary was always humble and obedient to the will of the father. Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth.

6. R. Mary, the sinless one has this pure relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

7. Song: Hail Holy Queen

8. Song: Immaculate Mary

9. R. Dear Holy Spirit, please transform us into the image and likeness of Jesus within the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary and lead us to the love of the Father.

10. Song: May the angels lead you into paradise.

R. Mary is the singular vessel —

(Song between decades: Come Holy Ghost)

 

R. This rosary was prayed before Jesus in the Tabernacle and Mary in the statue of Our Mother of Sorrows in the Holy Spirit Chapel at the Holy Spirit Center. Rita, Cathy, Joe and Marty were present.

 

They had moved the Statue of Our Mother of Sorrows in the Holy Spirit Chapel for a very short time —

Mary appeared to me in the Sorrowful Mother statue in the Rosary Chapel from July 5, 1994 every day then she continued to appear — they had moved the statue to the other side of the chapel in the back of the Rosary Chapel — then Holy Spirit Chapel — then in the front of the Rosary Chapel and finally they moved her in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel — On March 21st Jesus told me to pray before the Pieta in the Rosary Chapel and on March the 28th before the Pieta in the Rosary Chapel. Fr. Carter was at both rosaries. I was in the Rosary Chapel and Holy Spirit Chapel for 9 months, then in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel, March 30 of 1995 until September 5th of 1995.

Sorrowful Mysteries
Monday - Season of Lent
Mary of the Woods Nursing Home
   

The Agony in the Garden

1. R. Be with Jesus in the Garden. See Him as He kneels there. See Him in such agony. Put yourself right there in the dark night and focus on Jesus. Block out the other thoughts that are in your mind now, things from your life, distractions. This is the time to be alone with Jesus and to meditate on His Passion. It is in meditating on His Passion that we realize more and more the immensity of the great love that He has for each one of us.

2. R. Jesus knelt there and He saw before Him all the sins of all men from all time. He saw all their evilness, their vileness. These are the souls that He loved so dearly and He saw all of this before His eyes.

3. R. Think of His Heart so full of love for each and every soul. He saw before Him His bitter Passion, all the spitting, the crowning of thorns, the scourging at the pillar. He saw all the events that He was about to undergo.

4. R. His Heart is an endless source of Divine Love. He was born a little baby in the town of Bethlehem out of greatest love for each one of us. The Father sent His only Son into the world and now Jesus kneels in the Garden, His Heart overflowing with love for each of His precious souls.

5. R. Jesus is the Almighty God. At any moment He could have stopped everything that was about to happen, but in compliance to the Father's will, always doing the Father's will, Jesus said: "Not My will, but Thine be done".

6. 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.

7. R. Jesus is here this day. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day He was in the Garden. He remains with us with a Heart that is overflowing with Divine Love for each and every one of us, His beloved souls.

8. R. Jesus' greatest agonies were not the agonies, the wounds, that He experienced to His body, but His greatest agonies were the wounds He suffered to His Most Sacred Heart for He loves us with the deepest love.

9. R. Jesus saw before Him all the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all of His suffering.

10. R. Jesus calls out to us to live in the Father's will, to do as the Father wants us to do. Only in doing the Father's will, will we find happiness and joy. The Father created each one of us uniquely special out of His love for us.

To His death on the cross, Jesus complied always to the Father's will, a look of peace on Jesus' face through all His suffering; total peace because He knew the Father's love. Oh how the Father loves each one of us. There is not another person that He created like us. The Father has such a special plan for each one of us and He loves us with the greatest 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 Scourged at the Pillar

1. Jesus: I watch you, My precious ones. I watch you as you go about your day. You do not realize how close I am to you. In all of your sufferings I am there so close. It is in your sufferings that you will be brought to fuller life in Me. Oh, how I love you, My precious ones and how I watch you so closely. Minute by minute, second by second, I am with you, watching you, My beloved ones!

2. R. They led Jesus away. They pulled His hair and slapped His face and they tied Him so cruelly to a pillar.

3. R. See Jesus as He stands in a dim light tied to the pillar. Focus totally on Him. They come at Him with their angry faces and hatred in their hearts and they beat Him unmercifully, from His head to His feet. His once unblemished body is now wounded by their sharp instruments and He stands and He takes all of this for the souls that He loves so dearly. He came to show us how to love. His way is always love. He loved those who persecuted Him and beat Him. How He loves each one of us, His precious souls. He longs and thirsts to be ever closer, to be close in a love relationship with us. This is God who longs and waits for us, Who gives Himself to us this day in Holy Eucharist. Who are we that God gives Himself to us? Who are we that He waits in the tabernacles in the world, longing and thirsting for us to come and share our time with Him? This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who stood at the pillar and was unmercifully beaten for His great love that He has for each one of us.

4. R. Hear the blows! Listen! Focus on Jesus at the pillar and hear the blows! Jesus did not call out and scream. Jesus took willingly all His suffering because He knew it was the Father's will and He loves us so much. Listen! Do you hear the blows they gave to Jesus? They are the sign of His love for us.

5. R. Hear the blows, the blows that were given to Jesus. When we look at our brothers, those who sometimes make us angry, when we look at them, see Jesus at the pillar and hear the blows that He received because He loves our brothers so much. See the creation of the Father. How can we hate our brothers when God the Father created our brothers and Jesus came and gave His life for them?

6. R. Jesus wants such union with each one of us. Surrender! Surrender. Let go of hate or anger that is inside of your hearts. So Jesus can unite ever closer to you in deepest love. In order to have this union with Jesus, He asks us to clear the debris from our hearts. Love can not unite with hatred and anger. An exchange of giving up anger that we have toward our brothers, hatred from the past, for the love that Jesus wants to give to us, that vibrancy and oneness He wants with each and every soul. Jesus longs and thirsts for you to come and spend time with Him after communion in front of the tabernacle. This is God and He thirsts and longs and waits and wants to be so close to us! His Most Sacred Heart is bursting over on fire for love of each and every precious soul.

7. R. Jesus went to His apostles in the Garden and said to them: "Can you not watch one hour with Me"? He comes to us this day and He says "I give you twenty-four hours in the day, can you not spend one hour in silence with Me?" Do you not have time in your busy lives for the Son of God? Yet minute by minute, second by second, we know God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in the graced baptized soul. Jesus says "I am present in your graced baptized soul in a special way." Jesus longs to be closely united to you. Jesus says "minute by minute, second by second in the silence of your heart: I love you, I love you, I love you. But you do not hear. You do not take the time to be alone with Me." Minute by minute, second by second, God is inside of you saying: I love you, I love you, I love you. Hear the soft gentle voice as I whisper in your heart.

8. R. See Jesus as He stands at the pillar with gashes in His arms, big wounds in His back, the blood that comes forth, red blood. He shed His red blood for us. His red blood is the key to understanding the fire of His love that He has for each one of us.

9. R. Open wide your heart! God wants to be so close to you!

10. Song: I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love...)

    

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. R. See Jesus! They put on His head a sharp crown of piercing thorns that they pound into His head. The thorns pierce His head and the blood runs down His face, into His eyes and into His ears. They hit Him on the head. So harshly do they hit Him on His head that the blood ran from the corners of His mouth. Look at His face. Picture it so vividly in your hearts for this is the face of Jesus Christ Who was born in the town of Bethlehem. God, a little baby, suffered because He loved us so much. He withstood all the torture that they gave to Him because of His immense love for each one of us. Keep that picture of His head tucked so closely in your heart. When you feel that no one loves you, hear the soft gentle voice inside of your heart saying, minute by minute, second by second: I love you, I love you, I love you.

2. R. Jesus' whole body was covered with deep wounds from the scourging at the pillar, bleeding and burning. Then they put a dirty purple robe on His back and gave Him a scepter to hold and sat Him on a throne and mocked Him as King and spit on Him. Jesus is the King of all Kings! He is truly the Son of God and He withstood this persecution and torture. When they persecute you this day, when they say terrible things to you, see Jesus and the suffering He went through. Jesus Who is all good and all loving, was treated this way!

3. Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns

4. Song: Only This I Want

5. R. Jesus was beaten! He was poked at! His flesh was torn! Now they spit on Him and holler at Him and He suffered all of this because of the love that He has for each one of us. He asks us this day for two things: to love God and to love one another. He came to show us the way. See Him as He sits on the throne, His head covered with blood from His bleeding crown, His body so badly wounded. See Him as they jeer at Him and laugh at Him. He asks us to love those who talk cruelly to us. It is in loving those, that He can touch the hardened hearts through us. His way is always love. Our reward is to unite with His Most Sacred Burning Heart. Always love! A heart of love unites with love. Trade the debris and unforgiveness, whatever is in our heart, for Divine Love.

6. R. We take the great gift that we are given so lightly. Jesus is here this day in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day He walked on the earth. Jesus remains with us in the Eucharist and wants to be so close to us. Jesus waits for us in the tabernacle, waits for us to come in our busy lives. Jesus, the Son of God, waits on us!

7. R. Jesus wants us holy. Jesus knows our imperfections. Jesus wants us to clean the debris within our hearts so that we are His instruments to go out into this world and spread His love to our brothers. Jesus gave His life for them. He calls each one of us this day to be an apostle of His Most Sacred Heart, to spread the love of His Heart and His Mother's heart into this world. How can we say no when He gave His life for us?

8. R. Mary appears and shows her sorrowful face, her joyful face, her old face, her young face. The face that Jesus looked at. Mary says to look through her eyes at her beloved Son all through the Passion. Study His face! Study His face crowned with thorns and covered with blood and His body wounded from His head to the bottom of His feet. Study those wounds. Ponder His blood shed for love of us. It is in this study that we will be drawn ever closer to His tender love in His Heart. His love is not a little lip service love, His love is the love that He came to this earth and gave His flesh and blood for us. Jesus wants us to love the Scriptures.

9. R. Jesus gives us the Church and the priests. We are His favored children. He gives to us abundantly. When the priest holds up the consecrated host, this is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, no less present than the day He was crowned with thorns. Who are we that we are so favored and given such gifts? We take them so lightly. He calls out, "My beloved ones. You are blind! You have closed your eyes and plugged up your ears! I am in your midst this day! You run after senseless things when I, God, am so close to you. Your soul craves this love."

10. R. We walk senseless paths. We do not even realize that in a second, in the batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin, our life can end. What goes with us is our love of God and love of one another! Jesus came to show us the way. "Study My life", He says, "and the life of My Mother. Pray to the Holy Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and to be led closer to the Father Who loves you so dearly. My children, My children, you do not see the great gifts that I impart to you this day. I am with you and I am present and on fire for love of you. Pray to the Holy Spirit to remove the blinders from your eyes. Pray, children. Pray to receive more and more abundant grace to know the love of God. My life I want to give to you. My Divine Love I want to impart to you. My beloved children, I gave My life to you. You do not comprehend the great gifts that I want to give to you this day. Pray for grace. Pray, more and more to be filled with My life. I ardently bestow on you such grace in the Mass and in the Eucharist and when you come and sit in front of the Tabernacle. Come to the Eucharist! I am truly there! Truly present and waiting for you, My beloved ones!"

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love...)

  

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. R. Focus on Jesus! Just you and Jesus! Be alone with Him! Focus on the immense love that He has for you! Then see Him as He stands with His hands tied and the men with their angry faces and hatred in their hearts, poke at Him and condemn Him to death!

2. R. They gave to Him a heavy cross that they put on His shoulder. So heavy that it felt as if His shoulder would break through to the ground. He could not remove it. As He tried to walk, it became heavier and heavier. He could scarcely move. It was so heavy that He fell under it!

3. R. See His Mother! She carried Him in her womb as an infant. She watched Him at play. Simeon told her of the sufferings that she and Jesus would suffer. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary. She watched Him all through His life. Now Her heart, the heart of His most loving Mother, watched Him as He fell under the cross and she could not lift a hand to help her Son. Think of how it is when you see your own child suffer, how your heart is torn in your chest. Now see through the eyes of Mary as she watches her beloved Son fall under the weight of the cross.

4. R. And Their eyes peered into one another's. How her heart knew the Heart of Jesus. She shared all of His life with Him. He looked at her and saw her reddened face with tears and saw her suffering. There is such intimacy between Jesus and Mary, the Two Hearts that are so full of love for each one of us. In that peering look is this oneness between these Two Hearts, the Hearts that love us so much.

5. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

6. R. Mary appeared to me. I saw her most sorrowful face. See through her eyes as she looks at her beloved Son on the way to Calvary. See through her eyes. Helplessly, she stands by. She could hardly stand up, so weakened by what she had encountered. She sees her Son, but what she wants us to see through her eyes is the love that He has for each one of us. Put yourself in Mary's heart. Look out through her eyes and see Jesus' face covered with blood, the crown of thorns on His head and the cross on His back. He fell three times. Jesus could barely get up as they poke at Him, kick Him and holler at Him. She watched this. Helplessly, she could not lift a hand. See through her eyes, for it is through her eyes that we will realize more and more His immense love. Mary calls today and begs us to spread this love throughout the world. We have the greatest product in the world to sell: the love of God! She pleads strongly with each person here to pray to the Holy Spirit. Pray for the fearlessness that the apostles received when the Holy Spirit descended upon them, for Jesus is calling each person here to go out into the world and be His apostle and spread the love of His Most Sacred Heart. Souls will be lost because they did not know His love. It is up to us to become one in Him, to busy ourselves about our union with Him so that He can operate through us to a world that is hurting and in pain. Jesus wants us to love the souls He died for Surrender. Jesus sends us as soldiers into the world and our arms are our hearts filled with His love to minister to this sick world the most powerful medicine that there is, Love To be instruments of God's love! Not to focus on the negative aspects of this world, but realize that we are being called, that this is our mission to go into the world and spread His love to the world, by telling others of the Good News.

7. R. They stripped Him! Total surrender all through the Passion, all the way to His death on the cross when He spread His arms and held nothing back. He asks us to die to selfishness that we might live more and more in Him for He truly is Life!

8. R. Life is rooted in Jesus.

9. R. Jesus asks us to meditate especially during Lent on His Passion. In meditating on this, we will realize the immensity of His love and see through the eyes of Mary this immense love that Jesus and Mary have for each one of us. Jesus asks us to consecrate our hearts to His Sacred Heart and Mary's Immaculate Heart. It is through her most tender and loving heart that she places us ever deeply into His Most Sacred Heart. The more we unite with Mary, the deeper we penetrate the Heart of Jesus for They are one. He loves His Mother so much. Jesus wants us to love His Mother. Go to Mary! As she walked by His side on the way to Calvary, she forever walks by our side. See through her eyes the love of her beloved Son.

10. Song: I rocked Him as a baby, I fed Him as a child...

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love...)

   

Jesus Dies on the Cross

1. R. See Mary as she cares for the little tender hands and feet of the infant child. She washes him. She takes care of Him. Now see her as she looks as they nail His most precious hands and feet to the cross. This is her beloved Son!

2. R. Jesus is with us this day truly present in the Eucharist. He is present. He loves each one of us with such intense love. Jesus gave His flesh and blood on the cross for love of us. He gives Himself to us this day. He gives us His body and blood to nourish the life that He gave us through baptism.

3. Song: Take and Eat

4. R. Jesus told me once: "I gave My life for you! What more do you want?"

5. R. Could we see ourselves mounting the cross and dying as Jesus did for love of us? He asks us to love one another as He has loved us. He asks us to love one another!

6. R. Jesus says so many times after communion: "I give you Myself! I give you Myself! You run from the church! You take this so lightly. Tell them! Tell them that I am truly present the same as the day I hung on the cross in the Eucharist. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and I give them Myself!"

7. R. Jesus said that if the veil were lifted, we would fall on the floor. When you see the consecrated host, when the priest raises the host up, think of Jesus dying on the cross. This is the same Jesus that hung on the cross and He is as present in the consecrated host as He was on the cross. He remains in greatest love for each one of us.

8. 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.

9. R. See Mary as she held the child Jesus when Simeon told her of the sufferings They would undergo and see Mary as she receives His lifeless body under the cross.

10. 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.

Jesus: I come to you, each one of you this day. I remain with you in the Eucharist. In greatest love, I remain with you and you take this so lightly. I long to be ever closer to each one of you. Open up your heart and rid your heart of anything that keeps you from Me. Exchange your hurt, anger, hatred and unforgiveness for a heart that is filled with My Divine Love.

Song: I give to you abundant life, I thirst to be with thee.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love...)

 

This rosary was prayed in the Chapel of the Mary of the Woods. Besides Rita, Cathy, Joe and Marty, there were approximately 25 people present. Rita saw Jesus appear!!

Jesus' Body Beaten for Me

R. Fr. Carter's Mass

I heard him break the host at Mass and cried because
Christ's body was broken for me.

I realized how His beautiful body was
    battered for my sins.

How they whipped His body

"This is My Body given up for you"

Annunciation

See the tender beautiful body of the Child Jesus.
See so perfect as a little baby body is and
see His body battered, bruised and beaten for our sins.

Jesus died to give us new life.

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 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

$ 10.00 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 - 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

Audio CD - Read by Father Edward J. Carter
$ 10.00  plus postage

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
