A Few Thoughts
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As
it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Dear God,
I want to dwell in Your Sacred Heart of love, my Jesus.
Every day peels off like the sky as it goes from light to dark and dark
to light, heralding another day in history, another day of the precious
life You give to us here below.
I wait while I live in every moment trying to serve You, here below, in
what You want me to do.
I meditated on the Sorrowful Rosary and saw how similar it was for my
loved one with Parkinsons and Dementia, trying to move with You, Jesus
how You carried the heavy cross, laden with our sins trying to move with
the cross.
You are full of love for us, so much, You endured the beatings to Your
entire body, the pounding of Your head, to the point of blood, and the
heavy cross carrying it - to where You could barely move.
Then You fell, how many times I’ve watched how hard it is for my loved
one to stand, to walk, to move, to scoot, to fall to his knees on the
ground, or flat He could not move or raise his body to get up.
Then I see the absolute total surrender of the cross in the
crucifixion.
Total surrender Jesus, You show us total surrender hanging nailed to the
cross and You are the Second Person of the Trinity, the Son of God.
Love gives for the good of the other. Love and sacrifice propels us to
give more - when we truly love someone in need and it is God’s will we
love them and help them.
Total surrender on the cross - and Your thoughts were thoughts of love
for us, Jesus!
Love and obedience You gave to the Father’s will.
The will is a funny thing, how we are in holding on to our will and do
we really surrender to the Father’s will for us? How are we in this life
in doing our will or doing God’s will?
Have we worked to move more in the direction of giving our lives to do
His will?
Or have we become pros at getting our will at all costs?
I think of the Prayer for Union, You gave me 32 years ago tomorrow,
January 17, 1994.
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
Dear God, “I want to have my life in You!”
To Jesus thru Mary.
This is how we live the mystery of Christ in our lives, we live the
life, death and Resurrection of Jesus, in our lives as we journey day to
day here below.
We keep on keeping on like Jesus and God magnifies our efforts for the
building of God’s Kingdom as we live the Father’s will in love.
God is with us. We want His presence in us. He walks with us, smiles
thru us, helps and loves our brothers as we live in Him.
He fills us with love, we are never alone, when we keep turning more and
more to Him.
I thought yesterday of the miracles He showed us - Jesus really turned
water into wine, He made the blind see, He fed thousands, He raised the
dead…
He gave us His Mother, as He was dying on the cross, He loved her, He
was with her all during His life, He changed the water into wine at
Mary’s intercession.
I love the Rosary it helps me know Him more as I think about the
Mysteries and live those mysteries in my life.
Life is in Him.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
His ways He makes clear to us, but disciples listen to Jesus.
The Father said this at the Transfiguration,
“This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, listen to Him.”
Can you imagine what it sounded like to hear the Father speaking?
It gives me chills to think how it would be, at the Baptism of Jesus and
the Transfiguration!!
Oh God in Your love and mercy and goodness -
You teach us about victory and love -
forgiveness and mercy,
unity and beauty,
Salvation, Redemption, presence.
Open our minds and hearts to the mystery of Your love.
Oh Father help us to know, love and serve God with all our hearts and
love our neighbor as ourselves and thereby attain our eternal salvation!
In Shepherds of Christ, we pray for the priest, the Church and the
world.
The world belongs to Christ! We should feel at home in the world.
Jesus is the King of Heaven and earth.
Praise, Honor and Adore God.
Amen.
God is with us now, run to Him.
Heaven is our true home.
Amen, Alleluia.
My
Heart Aches for You
January 16, 1994 5:30 p.m.
St. Philip
R. I was drawn here as last week, intense pain in my heart and longing for Jesus, who I received this morning, but I played the organ at Mass and didn't get to be close to Him.
Last Sunday was very hard too. I have to be with Him in front of the tabernacle each day or I experience this intense restlessness and irritation. It is only in moments spent with Him alone in silence that such feelings are quieted.
I felt a real presence of Jesus Himself here, His Body. I experienced such longing as pain in my chest at not being able to know Him more or see Him. It is an agony of sorts to know Him a little but never enough. I ache in My heart for Him Whom I miss so much and Whom I crave to know more. At any rate, it is very painful. It reminds me of what I think the souls in purgatory must feel, intense longing for Him.
In my sorrow, I cried out and He heard my plea. He came to me and ministered to my needs.
Jesus: I am truly here, My little one, in Spiritual Communion.

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
Dear Holy Spirit,
strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.
Alleluia.

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
1. Matthew 26: 36-46
Then Jesus came with them to a plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, 'Stay here while I go over there to pray.' He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish. Then he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.' And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. 'My Father,' he said, 'if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.' He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.' Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: 'My Father,' he said, 'if this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, your will be done!' And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy. Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words. Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest. Look, the hour has come when the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.'
2. Jesus knew all those that would disobey Him as they willfully carved their own path, opposed to God.
3. Oh God the firm foundation You have given to us is in Your commandments and the Word.
4. Jesus taught us in His life, death and Resurrection.
5. Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth and the life.”
6. The Father told us… “Listen to Him.”
7. God’s ways have been given to us.
8. We have a free will to obey God or to oppose Him.
9. Jesus always did the will of His Father.
10. It says in the Our Father… “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. Matthew 27: 24-26
Then Pilate saw that he was making no impression, that in fact a riot was imminent. So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.
2. Jesus was whipped hard by angry, hateful men.
3. These men were so hateful, they tore His flesh, they whipped Him so He bled from head to toe.
4. Dear God I pray united to Jesus in the Mass in the Holy Spirit through the powerful intercession of Mary, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory. Amen.God help me now.
God help me now.
God help me now.5. Dear God please spread the Blood of Jesus on all those we come in contact, cast the devil into hell, ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Consecrate their hearts and ours to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart. Amen.
6. Prayer to St. Michael
"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."
7. Jesus did this at the pillar for our sins.
8. Jesus is King of Heaven and Earth.
9. Jesus' body was beaten with bloody wounds all over His body.
10. Come to me Lord and possess my soul.
You never really feel better by hurting others, like these men - turn to God.
The Crowning with Thorns
1. Matthew 27: 27-31
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.
2. Jesus body was beaten raw.
3. Jesus was given a crown of thorns, pounded into His precious head.
4. Our bodies are mortal.
5. Our souls are immortal.
6. We were created to know, love and serve God and there by attain our eternal salvation.
7. Jesus shows us His Sacred Heart on fire with love for us.
8. What matters in the Church is that the body of Christ is full of love.9. John 3:16

he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.10. Jesus is King of Kings.
The Carrying of the Cross
1. Mark 15: 15-23
So Pilate, anxious to placate the crowd, released Barabbas for them and, after having Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers led him away to the inner part of the palace, that is, the Praetorium, and called the whole cohort together. They dressed him up in purple, twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on him. And they began saluting him, 'Hail, king of the Jews!' They struck his head with a reed and spat on him; and they went down on their knees to do him homage. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the purple and dressed him in his own clothes. They led him out to crucify him.
They enlisted a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means the place of the skull. They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.
2. John 3:16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.

The Crucifixion
1. Matthew 27: 35-44
When they had finished crucifying him they shared out his clothing by casting lots, and then sat down and stayed there keeping guard over him.
Above his head was placed the charge against him; it read: ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.’ Then two bandits were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left.
The crucified Jesus is mocked
The passers–by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, ‘So you would destroy the Temple and in three days rebuild it! Then save yourself if you are God’s son and come down from the cross!’ The chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked him in the same way, with the words, ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the king of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. He has put his trust in God; now let God rescue him if he wants him. For he did say, "I am God’s son." ’ Even the bandits who were crucified with him taunted him in the same way.

Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message

Song: See the Eyes that look at Mary
10. December 17, 1991
Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.
R. The vision of Jesus’ Heart on fire I had in the same pew at All Saints Church, December 17, 1991. The heart that is on the Second Blue Book. March 26, 1996, I had in the same pew on the other end of the pew toward the center aisle, the first pew on the right side of the church as I faced the altar.
His Burning Heart
R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.
I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:
"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."
