                Joyful Mysteries

                Annunciation

                R. Mary was called by God to be the Mother of God.
                Put your faith in God. Mary loved the will
                of God.

                Mary lived for God. Mary belonged to God.
 


 

                Visitation

                R. Elizabeth was thought barren and in her old
                age she conceived John the Baptist –
                Zachariah lost his voice.

                Elizabeth said:

Luke 1: 42-445

She gave a loud cry and said, ‘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? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’

 

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

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,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

  

                R. Mary - full of grace, Mary was pure.
                Mary was given such a gift for all man-kind.
                Mary was pure.

                Mary loved God so much.
                Mary was the Spouse of God the Holy Spirit.
                Mary's body formed the baby Jesus through
                    the power of the Holy Spirit –

                Mary was the handmaid of the Lord.

                God used silence with Zachariah.

                The baby Elizabeth carried was called John.

                John was to prepare the way for Jesus.

                We must surrender to God's will, we must
                believe in His Plan, seek His Plan, live
                His Plan.

                Beg of God to increase in our graced, baptized
                    soul the virtues of faith, hope and love.

                Mary went away to be with Elizabeth and
                    to help her.

                Joseph had to believe that Mary carried the
                    Son of God. The angel worked in Joseph.
                    Mary and Joseph must have suffered –
                    Mary believed, Mary knew she was
                    given such a gift and
                    Joseph wasn't self-centered – He, too,
                    lived for the Lord. Joseph knew from
                    the dream, the importance of what
                    was happening.

 

 

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Carpenter

June 12, 1994

Jesus: You are he who goes to a carpenter to learn to make a cabinet. You know nothing. You do not have any idea of what you are to do. The carpenter knows exactly. He has a procedure whereby his plan will be accomplished. Every detail must be observed. He is the Master. You do not have the talent. You need talent to do woodwork. If you were given the talent and the directions, you could accomplish this task with such beauty.

    I am the carpenter. You are he who needs to be taught. You lack the talent. You need the gifts of the Spirit to accomplish My task! You come to Me in total ignorance. You are open, the Spirit fills you with the gifts. You have everything you need to do My work. The Father created you to accomplish His tasks. You are perfect. You must come open. You must know the plan. The plan is His Will for you. If you do not follow the plan, the cabinet will not be built correctly.

    I am the Master. I guide you. I love you. I give you all you need. I walk you through every move. If you try on your own, you have a problem. You know not the way to build cabinets. You know not the way to Me on your own. You must come to Me to be taught. To go it alone is to your own detriment.

    Oh, little one, it is so simple. You, in your will, want to work your own plans. You know not how to do it. Only I can teach you what you need to know. Oh, please come to Me. I have all you need. The Spirit fills you with the gifts to know, love and serve God. To go it alone is like trying to build the cabinet with no knowledge of woodworking. Oh, little ones, I love you. Come to Me. Let Me teach you. The Will of the Father is the happiness for your life.

    I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am God. I, God, long to be with you and teach you. Go not off on your own. Come to Me. I love you so!

end of June 12, 1994

    

                R. Mary endured the suffering, whatever it
                    was. Mary was a virgin. Mary
                    conceived of the child Jesus, by the
                    power of the Holy Spirit.

                I think of Lucia's mother, she didn't
                    believe that Mary was appearing to her.

                Lucia suffered, but Lucia did not
                    change her story.

                God has given us a great gift after Mary
                    appeared to me daily July 5, 1994 to
                    September 5, 1995 – Mary appeared at
                    Clearwater for 7 1/2 years.

                R. Joseph was given what he needed to believe.

                Dear God we pray for faith, we pray to do
                    God's will.

                Mary rejoiced in her gift –

                Joseph helped her –

                Mary and Joseph lived for God.

                When are hearts are hard we do not see through
                    the eyes of God. We must open our hearts
                    and pray to the Holy Spirit to see through the
                    eyes of God, to believe what God is
                    asking of us and to do His will.

                Mary and Joseph were chosen by God for
                    such an honor. They belonged to God.
                    Mary or Joseph were not selfish –
                    They were full of gratitude and rejoiced
                    at their calling and lived the Father's
                    will in love, in suffering and in joy.

                Mary carried the child Jesus, the Son of God
                    within her womb. Mary knew
                    what a gift God gave her.

                People must not have understood what
                    was going on, but Mary and Joseph
                    did.

                There was a census and Mary and Joseph
                    had to go to Bethlehem –

                Mary knew she was supposed to go and she
                    went with Joseph on the long journey
                    together. It was a hard journey and
                    when they arrived there was not room
                    for Jesus and Mary and Joseph in
                    the Inn.

                Bethlehem was small and they had to have
                    Jesus in a stable because there was
                    not room in the Inn.

                Can you imagine Mary and Joseph seeing
                    the beautiful baby Jesus? Can you
                    imagine knowing that Jesus chose
                    to come in such poverty because
                    there was no room for Him in the Inn.

                Let us open our hearts this Christmas.
                    Pray for an increase of faith and
                    hope and love in our graced, baptized
                    soul. Pray for an open heart so
                    Jesus can dwell in our hearts at Christmas.

                Pray for Jesus, Our Savior, to come to
                    our hearts on Christmas. Make room
                    for Jesus to come to your open heart.
                    Open wide to God who is so good
                    to us, who loves us. Open wide to
                    the Savior of the world.

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                Jesus came so humbly, a little tiny baby,
                    so sweet, so we would love Him
                    so much. Jesus came, not in gold or
                    silver, but a sweet little baby
                    in a stable in Bethlehem because
                    there was not room for Him in the Inn.

                Jesus looked like any little tiny baby.
                    Jesus, the Son of God, took flesh to be
                    our Savior, to teach us and to
                    heal us. God the Father showed
                    a sign – the magnificent star
                    shining over His bed.

                Don't be afraid. God is all powerful –
                    God is Almighty, God is with us –

 

                Nativity

Luke 2:1-7

Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world. This census—the first—took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David’s town called Bethlehem, since he was of David’s House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first–born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living–space.

 

                R. The Shepherds came and He was wrapped
                    and in a manger.

                Jesus came a tiny, tiny little baby to
                    Mary, a human creature, conceived
                    without sin.

                We see in the Garden of Eden how Eve
                    wanted to be equal to God –

                Do we see how Herod wanted not to
                    have Jesus, the King, threaten his
                    Kingship.

                Herod – Pride, afraid, Jesus could threaten
                    him.

                And the 3 Kings came from afar and
                    brought Jesus, gold, frankincense and myrrh.

                This is the story of Christmas. The awesome
                    fact that Jesus came and took on
                    flesh –

                Many people are angry at Christmas because
                    they are suffering and focused on
                    themselves –

                Let us spread the joy of Christmas
                    in these writings, so people will
                    open their hearts and celebrate
                    this great gift –
                    Jesus is Savior of us all –

 

                R. Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the Temple –

                Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

                Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
 

                From the Seven Sorrows of February 22, 1995

1. The Prophecy of Simeon
Mary, Joseph and the child Jesus went to the temple. Simeon, the prophet, inspired by the Holy Spirit, met them and told Joseph and Mary of the great sufferings of Jesus and Mary. He told Mary that a sword would pierce her heart. From that point on, Mary ever remembered the prophecy of Simeon whenever she beheld her child. When she looked at His little body, even as an infant, she knew He would suffer. Every time she clothed Him and watched Him at play, her heart was torn in her chest as she knew what He would suffer. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

 

                Remember the flight into Egypt

From the Seven Sorrows of February 22, 1995

2. The Flight into Egypt
Joseph was told by the angel to flee. Joseph, Mary and the child Jesus had to flee because of what might happen to Jesus. They had to pack for a long stay. The child Jesus was so small! They left on their journey, hearts full of fear, trying to protect Jesus. They were forced to flee into Egypt.

 

 

                Finding of Jesus in the Temple
 

Luke 2: 41-52

Every year his parents used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. When the days of the feast were over and they set off home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. They assumed he was somewhere in the party, and it was only after a day’s journey that they went to look for him among their relations and acquaintances. When they failed to find him they went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere. 

    It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ But they did not understand what he meant. He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.

 

From the Seven Sorrows of February 22, 1995

3. Jesus Is Lost, In the Temple
Imagine the sufferings in Mary's heart when she realized the child Jesus was not with them. Think of how it would be to lose your child and not know where he was or if anything happened to him. With sorrow in their hearts, Mary and Joseph returned to Jerusalem to look for the child Jesus. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary!

 

                Beginning of the Public Life of Jesus

                Luminous Mysteries

 

                Baptism of Jesus

Matthew 3: 13-17

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him. And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’ 

 

                Excerpt from January 24, 2006 Rosary

                Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan

5.    I heard a voice that said

           "This is My beloved Son in whom I am
                well pleased."
            To write this makes me want to cry -
                such emotion in my soul -
                I heard it more than once.
            Ponder the words coming from the Father
                "This is My beloved Son in whom I
                        am well pleased."
            Say them slow, listen to the Father's words.
            Now think of how God the Father created
                us and gave His only Son for our
                salvation.

            Ponder the Father's love for us to send His
                Son as a sacrifice 
                for our sins.

            Oh God impart to us wisdom to comprehend
                deeper insight into the Divine Mysteries,
                deeper knowledge of Your undaunted
                love for us.
                The love of the Father to send His only Son.

6.    These are the Mysteries of Light.
            John the Baptist, baptized Jesus in the
                Jordan -
            Envision this, the Jordan River and people
                about and Jesus, the Divine God,
                being baptized by John.
                Feel the emotion in your heart -
                See the sky open and the Holy Spirit
                    above Jesus and hear the words -
                    "This is My beloved Son, in whom
                        I am well pleased."

7.    Now focus on our baptism and the price
            Christ paid for our sins, so we
            could share in His life in a
            special way in baptism.
        Focus on our graced soul and the
            dignity and light God gives
            to feeble man.
        Oh, God loves us so very much -
        God loves us so very much -
        God loves us so very much
        We can not even comprehend how
            much God loves us.

8.    These are the Mysteries of Light -
        Now focus again the picture of John
            baptizing Jesus in the Jordan.
            See Jesus and the Holy Spirit,
            hear the voice from heaven-
            see the water of the River Jordan.

        Feel the emotion of God's love for us.

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.  John 3: 16

9.    When we are baptized and in the state
            of grace the Father, Son and  Holy Spirit dwell
            in us in a special way.
            Think about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
            dwelling within us. What a
            gift, that God loves us so much.

10.    Think of how God loves us to give
            us this special sharing in
            His life in baptism.

 

 

 

                Marriage at Cana   

John 2: 1-10

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’  There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’ 

 

Excerpt from January 14, 2007

Messenger:            The first miracle is the wedding
                        at Cana — a wedding — love —
                        Mary tells Jesus they have no wine —
                        She doesn't have to nag Him — Jesus
                        works the miracle, Mary tells
                        Him — they have no wine.

                            Mary tells Jesus, she says "Do
                        whatever He tells you" Jesus performs
                        the miracle in love for the married couple —

                            The relation of husband and wife
                        prefigures - God wants this love for
                        us. God is love — God gives us the
                        sacrament of Matrimony — God
                        gives us the sacrament of the Eucharist.
                        Jesus wants this betrothal to us - love —
                        Religious life is a special marriage
                        between the soul and Jesus.

                            We see in the marriage at
                        Cana the intercession of Mary.
                        We see Jesus' love for His Mother.
                        Mary says — "They have no wine."
                        She lets it up to Jesus —
                        She tells the stewards — "Do what ever Jesus
                        tells you."

                            Jesus looks on us as His bride —
                        Jesus loves us more than any husband
                        can for His wife.

                            Jesus wants religious, also, so in
                        love with the Church and the people
                        praying for the Church and the people.
                        Jesus loves His people so much —
                        He died for them and gives them
                        the Eucharist today —

                        God wants religious bringing forth
                            fruit for the Kingdom loving
                            the Church and the people —
                            leading them to deeper love
                            with Him.

                        God gave Joseph to Mary and Jesus

                Proclamation of the Kingdom of God

 

                From December 3, 2004

                        R. My dear friends

    Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me
as the King on His Throne at the
Cathedral where He told me to go
to Church.  

   He was smiling and His
mouth moved and moved and moved.
He looked happy and the vision was
all aglow. He gave me a message to sit
in the first pew and He appeared
and talked about 20 minutes, He
was smiling.
 

Matthew 5: 1-12

Seeing the crowds, he went onto the mountain. And when he was
seated his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak. This is
what he taught them:

How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the gentle:
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
Blessed are those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those
   who hunger and thirst for uprightness:
they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.  

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and
speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this
is how they persecuted the prophets before you. 

 

                The Transfiguration

Mark 9: 2-8

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

 

                R. Jesus' healing and teaching ministry
                    is so much a part of how
                    we meditate on His life today.

                Here are the Miracles Jesus worked –

                    Jesus healed Simon's mother-in-law
                    Jesus healed ill and possessed by demons
                    Jesus healed the leper
                    Jesus healed the paralytic
                    Jesus forgives sins

    Jesus turned water into wine –
    Jesus healed the lepers –

    Jesus worked miracles –
        Jesus healed the centurion's servant
        Jesus calmed the sea –
        Jesus cast out devils –
        Jesus healed physically and
            spiritually.

    Jesus cast out demons,
        Jesus walked on the water,
        Jesus fed the crowd
        Jesus healed blind men –
        Jesus raised people from
            the dead.

 

                Excerpt June 20, 2011 Rosary

                (3) R. We see the miracles of Jesus then
                    in those He healed —
                    A leper made clean —
                    Healing the centurion's servant —

                (4) R. We see the Power of Jesus in the miracles —
                    Peter's mother-in-law healed of
                    the fever —

                (5) R. Jesus calming the storm at sea.
                    Jesus driving out the devil out
                        of the man —

                (6) R. Jesus healing the crippled, the
                    hemorrhage healed in the
                    woman —

                (7) R. Jairus' daughter raised


 

                (8) R. Jesus feeding 5 thousand
                    Jesus walking on the water
                    Jesus healed the blind, maimed,
                        lame, dumb.

                (9) R. Jesus healed the blind, cured the
                    sick, cast out devils —

                (10) R. Jesus healed lepers, cripples,
                    blind and
                    Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead —
                    Jesus rose from the dead Himself —
                    Jesus ascended into heaven

 

                R. Here are the Parables Jesus used
                    to teach us –

Parable of the sower
The parable of the talents
The lost son (the ‘prodigal’) and the dutiful son
Parable of the ten wedding attendants

Parable of the unforgiving debtor
Parable of the conscientious steward
Parable of the wicked tenants
Parable of the two sons

The parable of the rich man and Lazarus
Parable of the good Samaritan
Parable of the wedding feast
Parable of the dragnet
Parable of the mustard seed
The lost sheep
Parable of the yeast
Parables of the treasure and of the pearl
Parable of the barren fig tree
Parable of the lamb
The Parable of the labourers in the vineyard
The house on rock
Parable of the darnel

 

 

 

                Institution of the Eucharist

Luke 22: 14-20

When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’

Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

   
 

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

From the Mass Book
 

January 2, 1997

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."

"The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

God pours out His grace in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the greatest gift when God gives Himself to us.

We share with God His life, given to us abundantly in the Mass.

He gives Himself to us, and we give ourselves to Him. The great love affair between God and man: His Holy Mass.

The priest is another Christ to us. It is Christ present, through the priest, celebrating the Mass. We must see Christ in the priest, see Him celebrate the Mass, see His beautiful brown hair, His gentle face, see Him, Our Savior. This Jesus Christ that came was born an infant and gave Himself to His death on the cross that we would share His life. See Him now in the Mass, giving Himself in the greatest gift of all. He gives us His divine love and His divine life.

Oh, we thank You for Your life. We know He died and rose and gave us a sharing in His holy life. His life is now abundantly poured, as a fountain to us, especially in the Mass.

Then we hear His Word. Let the Word of God penetrate our being. Let us feel this Living Word of God. As a two-edged sword, it comes forth with such conviction and love and it penetrates the souls of the faithful with such love. It is food indeed, food for our soul.

He is the Good Shepherd. He speaks to us. He gives us all we want. "There is nothing I shall want." (The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. Ps. 23:1).

He gives us green pastures, and His water pours out and refreshes us. He outpours His grace as a fountain to feed us with His life.

He is a just God, good and kind, all loving, for He is love. We want for nothing for He outpours His love and His life to us in the Mass. We feast on His Body and Blood and are fed with His Word. We become one in Him and He shares Himself with us.

It is through the Mass celebrated by the hands of a holy pries that we will experience the Mass the way Christ intends. These writings are insights which hopefully will help lead you to the spring of life-giving water, the fountain of love and life He outpours in the Mass.

There will be a new earth when men will see with the light of seven suns. They will know God. A people walking in darkness will see a great light. They will no longer be blind, they will be enlightened, they will love God with the greatest love in the Mass. They will feast on His Body and Blood and will be united as one body in His holy Church through His life given to us in the Eucharist.

We will drink copiously from the fountain of grace which He pours out in the Mass. We will be filled with His love, absorbed with the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and feasting on His divine life.

We see with the vision of God. We partake in such a union with God. We see with the light the Spirit gives to us. The priest celebrates the Mass and we know God with such an intense knowing in this union. We are saturated with His life flowing from the hands of His consecrated priest.

And I look at Him, the priest, and I see Jesus there. I see Him giving Himself to me. I see the new and Holy City. I see with such clarity the great gift that God gives to us in the Mass!

We learn how to love in the Mass, for we unite to God. He gives us such an intimate sharing in His divine love that we carry His love out to the world. In this union we know His loving to an intense degree and we carry this love out to others. We share in an intense way in His divine act of loving. He, Who is Love, gives Himself to us and we are absorbed in His love and we know intensely how God loves. We are filled with love for God and for each other, for, in the oneness He is loving through us. He gives us lights into His loving capacity and we know His loving power in an intensity we did not know before.

We then pray. We offer up our intentions for this Mass. It is now we who intercede to Him to outpour His grace on us and help us with these intentions.

We pray for this reign of peace when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and men will fervently love and adore God with burning love. We pray for all souls and the Church and we beg for His help, His love, His grace.

We offer ourselves as a sacrifice. We offer the bread that will become the Bread of Life.

The priest mixes the water and the wine and we realize how His Divinity mixes with our humanity.

We offer the wine that will become our spiritual drink--His Blood.

I give myself to Him and I beg to be cleansed of my sins with the washing of the hands.

"May the Lord accept the sacrifice of your hands for the praise and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His Church."

We ask Him to accept the gifts we want to give Him, we give Him thanks, we lift up our hearts in thanks and praise and we sing out:

"Holy, Holy God, of power and might..." we sing Him praise and thank Him, "Oh, God we love thee so much."

My heart is so filled with such awe. I cry because I love Him so much.

Every word in the Mass, I love. The priest consecrates the Host and changes it into the Body and Blood of Christ. Hear Christ say to us: "This is My Body", "This is My Blood".

Oh, it makes me cry for I am so struck with awe at what happens at the Consecration. I unite in the oneness with the priest, with Christ and with all present, with heaven and earth. I am one in that moment, united in the sacrifice of Christ giving Himself to the Father.

This is the moment when I unite in such oneness with Christ in the purity of Mary's heart. I give myself as a sacrifice. I offer myself to the Father.

The Father looks down and He sees us united to His Son's Sacrifice. It is in this oneness that His grace is outpoured on us, that we die to that which is not like Him and that the Holy Spirit works in the heart of Mary and fills us with His life.

I am in ecstasy as I realize more and more the great gift of love that God gives us in His holy Mass. I am taken to such heights, being wrapped in the presence of God. It is rapture, this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

It is a great gift, experiencing this intense presence of the Almighty God: Through Him, With Him, and In Him.

We pray to the Father the prayer as Jesus taught us and beg, "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

We pray: "For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are Yours, now and forever."

We beg for peace in our hearts. We share this peace with one another. Then we beg of the Lamb of God. I want to get down to the ground and beg for His grace, mercy, and forgiveness for our sins.

Please, God, I see us as a sinful people. I want the grace and mercy to flow abundantly.

He raises the Host and says: "This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, happy are those who are called to His supper."

We respond: "Lord, I am not worthy to receive You, but only say the word and I shall be healed."

I receive the Almighty God in Communion. All I want is Him. Oh, God, I want You, I adore You, I worship You, I love You.

Oh, for this moment when God gives Himself to me. Oh, God, words do not express this time--this intense presence of You within my being. Oh, sweet Savior, I love You!

You share Yourself so intimately with me. You imprint on my soul a knowing of Your Divine Being that is so intimate in this Communion when You give Yourself to me.

Oh, let our hearts be open to His grace that we may know this great gift more, that we will partake more fully in this greatest act of love with Divinity.

He shares Himself with us, the Almighty God, in such oneness. This is the greatest way to bind us with each other, to unite with each other in the Mass and Communion.

And so I sing the love of God, the love of His Mass. I beg you to pray for the grace that He can teach you in these writings about His most intimate love affair with man, the gift of Himself--the gift He gives us in the Mass.

The Holy Sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally-made-present in the Mass when He gives Himself to us with the greatest love!

And what does He ask in return? He asks that we love one another, that we give Him the glory, the thanksgiving, the adoration that is His due as the Almighty God.

He sends us forth with His blessing to share His most intimate love with all. We go forth as other Christs in the world. For He is alive this day and He lives in us and He gives His love to others through us. We act as channels of His life to one another.

The Mass is the richest source of His life. His life flows through the body, the Church, especially through the sacraments and the Mass.

Oh Jesus, from the fountain of life that pours forth from your pierced Heart, give us holy priests whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to celebrate the Mass--that there is such oneness between the priest and Christ that His grace will flow copiously.

We thirst for the fountain of life pouring forth from the pierced Heart of Christ. It is His life we seek and find in the Church. It is His love we want and we experience the greatest love affair with God in the Mass.

These books on the Mass are accounts of my intimate love affair with our Almighty God. Many experiences were enlightenments I received in the Mass.

I strongly advise all to pray, to say the Holy Spirit Prayer, the consecration prayers, and the Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, before Mass.

This book is the journey into the red room, the inner chamber of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the gateway, the pure and Immaculate Heart of His Mother.

It is in the Mass we give ourselves in such love to our Holy God. He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him.

                Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

     In schematic outline we have discussed the manner in which the baptized Christian extends his Mass to his daily existence. As he so lives out his Mass, he is becoming more Christlike. He becomes a more perfect priest and victim for his next participation in the eucharistic sacrifice.42 The beautiful cycle which the Mass contains lies exposed before us. As part of this cycle the Christian is intimately involved in the process of continued redemption. The Mass is the center of the Christian life: ". . . the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the fount from which all her power flows."43

Jesus: I call you to live your lives as devout members of the mystical body of Christ. I have given these writings that men will realize that they are to live united deeply to the Mass going on around the world. Your lives, given as an offering, a sacrifice every moment in union with the Mass going on around the world. Your life, a sacrifice, offered to the Father, in union with the Mass in oneness with Me, in the Holy Spirit through the intercession of the Blessed Mother with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.

    Your lives given as members of My mystical body can help to bring down great graces for the priest, the Church and the world.

 

Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

"How does the Christian help Christ redeem the world? (Henceforth the term "world" is to be understood as including both rational and nonrational creation.) As previously stated, the Christian helps Christ redeem the world by reliving Christ's mysteries. The same "events" or mysteries which accomplished the objective redemption further the subjective redemption also. Since at the heart of Christ's mysteries are His death and Resurrection, it is especially these that the Christian must relive. As the Christian dies mystically with Christ through loving conformity with the Father's will, he rises with Christ to an ever greater share in the Resurrection, in the newness of life, in the life of grace. As the Christian in this manner relives the paschal mystery of Christ, he is accomplishing not only his own redemption, but he is also, in a mysterious yet real manner, helping Christ redeem the world."

 

 

                Sorrowful Mysteries
 


 

                Agony of the Garden

Mark 14: 32-44

They came to a plot of land called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Stay here while I pray.’ Then he took Peter and James and John with him. And he began to feel terror and anguish. And he said to them, ‘My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here, and stay awake.’ And going on a little further he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, this hour might pass him by. ‘Abba,  Father!’ he said, ‘For you everything is possible. Take this cup away from me. But let it be as you, not I, would have it.’ He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, ‘Simon, are you asleep? Had you not the strength to stay awake one hour? Stay awake and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.’ Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. And once more he came back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy; and they could find no answer for him. He came back a third time and said to them, ‘You can sleep on now and have your rest. It is all over. The hour has come. Now the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! My betrayer is not far away.’

And at once, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up and with him a number of men armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Now the traitor had arranged a signal with them saying, ‘The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him, and see he is well guarded when you lead him away.’

Heart of Jesus Consumed in Love

R. My dear Heart of Jesus, 

    Is it your Heart I know? Oh, not enough, My Savior. I have only scratched the surface of that fiery Heart of endless love. You are consumed with love for sinful man and it boggles my finite mind why God is so consumed for the imperfect hearts of human man. But, you are the Heart of Jesus. You are indeed the Savior of us all, the sinners of the earth, and we do not cease to offend You in our imperfect ways.

    But I want you to teach me your ways of love that my heart too will be consumed with the flames of love for all God’s creatures living and dead in heaven and on the earth and in purgatory. I want to just be consumed with the fire burning in your Heart and love all men this way.

    Oh, my God, there is crime and suffering in the world and in the Heart of burning love I feel the thorns press in as yours do, the ones surrounding the fiery Heart of Divine love and as I look closely I see the cross through the flames shooting out from the top of your Heart. The Second Blue Book, the Fire of His Love; the book that begs to be written, the mixture of burning love an endless suffering and pain, the book that tells of the justice of God – the God that loves and that He gave His very flesh and blood for sinful man, but the book that admonishes the sinner and corrects the imperfect ways of man by just punishment and rewards.

    There is a man on a cross and He doesn’t speak a word. Within His chest a Heart, consumed with burning love is a burning furnace of charity for the sinful creatures of the world. His body shows the price He paid for His burning love. He was whipped. His flesh was torn. His body was a weaken shell. His head, a bloody mess from the affair. This is the affair – the love affair that God has with His precious creatures, that God gives Himself as a sacrifice for sinful man!

    And, so I am a messenger. I have been consumed with the fire of His love. He has shared His heavenly embrace with me. He has taken me into ecstasy and shows me many things about Himself and His love for us. I have seen celestial lights and been wrapped in the greatest ecstasies of God’s Divine embrace. He, God, Our Beloved Lover, showed me the sufferings of hell and I knew pain and suffering beyond all that any human person could express. I have known the rapture of a heavenly embrace and the longing for God that makes a soul cry out in the most bitter pain, the wanting, the longing, the heart that would not stop hurting for wanting what I once knew – I knew the sufferings of hell, I knew the blood that trickled down His head when they whipped Him and the blood He shed in the Garden. I knew the last moments with Him on the cross when I thought I would die had He not rescued me from the worst pain of all. I knew the Heart consumed with Divine love, the rapture of a heavenly embrace and I know the pains of hell and the sufferings of the Heart that were punctured by the thorns and pierced with a lance.

    And He said to me, “bleed little heart for I teach you the secrets never revealed before to man.  You will write My most intimate secrets of My Heart on the Hearts of man. You will speak and I will speak through you.” 

    And He truly gives this gift to man today in these writings and the love rosaries and many hate me and are jealous, they want me to stop or they are indifferent and do not listen.

    Jesus tells me of His deep, deep love for man and they worry for the words and the English. He warns them of their ways with His tender Heart of love and they turn on me and hate me while they continue in their sinful and selfish ways. I do not like to deliver the corrective messages of Our Lord to one He wishes to admonish but He has truly chosen me His messenger to help in the renewal of the Church and the world and in my great love for Him, for all the gifts He has given, I must deliver the bitter with the sweet.

    For, I know Him. Jesus has opened His Heart, revealed the deepest secrets of this fiery Heart surrounded with thorns to me and I do not know why, but it is true and to say otherwise would displease My precious Jesus greatly.

    It is a gift He gives to man. The secrets into the Heart of endless love.

                The Scourging at the Pillar

Excerpt from March 13, 1997 Rosary - The Scourging at the Pillar

1. R. This is an excerpt from the Mass Book. In this experience, I was given the great intensity in the presence of God and I wrote on December 17th, 1995 ,  

“I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.

I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied.

This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.”  (Mass Book, December 17, 1995 , The Earth Stopped and I Touched Heaven)

 

 

                The Crowning with Thorns

                Excerpt from March 13, 1997 Rosary - The Crowning with Thorns

5. R. I would like to read to you from March of 1994. This was exactly three years ago today and I remember this as if it happened only minutes ago. For I went to church and my heart was in such anguish and suffering as He allowed me to suffer so many times for the souls that do not love Him. And I went there and I heard Jesus call out. He says,

Jesus: I died for you, sweet one. I allow you to suffer. This is suffering. You are given this to know how I suffered. You I only give such little things. I suffered, sweet one. I suffered, bloodied, bruised and beaten. Blood rolled down My cheeks. My head was pierced with sharp thorns. They spat on Me. They whipped Me. They beat Me on My head, My precious head. They hit Me on My thorns and the pain was so intense–the piercing thorns! I was slapped hard by these senseless ones. Oh, such evil in the hearts of those who beat Me, the Son of God!

My whole Body ached from head to toe. I suffered so, My child. You will never know how I suffered for love of you. I am God and I loved all My precious ones to My death–and they ignore Me!

Oh, how I suffer from this wounded heart. They will never know what love I have to give them. They will never know how I, God, love them. They are so busy with their worldly lives!

You must tell them how I wait for them. I wait. I want them to come and I will give them such love! Tell them, Rita, tell them! Your discontent is from what emotions I give you and you keep them inside. I want all to know Me and My love. I am crying out to you, little one. Tell them, tell them. Do not waste any time. I am crying out for you to spread this message. I want you to tell all of My love and how I am waiting. Emotion! Emotion! I am crying out to you in your heart!

I long for their love. I died for them. How do I make them know if you, to whom I speak, hold back? I want you to get the messages out, child.

I loved all My beloved ones to My death. I love you this way this day. I am Jesus. I am begging you to not hold back this emotion.

Oh, child, My beloved ones are blind and are going down the road that leads to nowhere. You must preach My message. You must distribute My letters. You must tell all how I wait here!”  (God's Blue Book II, March 13, 1994)

 

 

                The Carrying of the Cross

                Excerpt from March 13, 1997 Rosary - The Carrying of the Cross

1. R. This is a message from August the 23rd, 1993. Jesus spoke, “

Jesus: I thought of My intense love for you – that many would go to heaven because of My suffering – and I continued to the top of the hill. At the top they laid Me on the cross and with a big hammer nailed My hands to it. It was the worst (suffering) yet. My hands were nailed with big nails and the big hammer. Then, as if that weren’t enough, with a big nail they nailed through both feet.

Then they lifted the cross and banged it into (a hole in) the ground. My shoulders ached from how I hung. My head bobbed and My neck ached and they laughed and said, "Now save Yourself." I hurt so much! I suffered this way for hours – which seemed like forever – and they glared at Me and laughed! My Mother watched in such agony.

For love of you, to My death I gave you My Body. My child, I shed My Blood and gave you My life that you might be with Me forever in heaven – not for a day, a month or a year, but forever with Me in heaven.

I am the true Bread come down from heaven. He who eats My Flesh will have life forever. For the drink I give you is My Blood and food you eat is My Body. Who would lay down his life for a friend? I did, for you. I love you this much, child. Forget about those who reject you. You have My life that I gave you and I give you life eternal.”  (Blue Rosary Book, August 23, 1993, On His Passion)

 

 

                The Crucifixion

                Excerpt from March 13, 1997 Rosary - The Crucifixion

4. “Do I see the body of a man, a live man? Do I see His labored breath? Do I see His chest move as His Heart beats within? Do I see the real skin of a man? Do I see the real blood He shed? Do I see the light that silhouettes His withered body? Do I see the Light of the World? Do I see the tender skin of an infant laid on bare wood in the manager and then the torn, lacerated, bloodied skin of this man?

This is love! There is a man on the cross. There is a child born to us today. He is the Light of the World. His light is shining in the darkness, but people do not see. They see the wood, but they view it for the beauty it will create in their newly decorated living rooms.

The cross is not a thing of the past, the cross is with us today. We carry it on our backs as He showed us we would, but we try to take it off and throw it away.

It is in the cross there is the resurrection. It is by meditating on the crucifix, we see His undying love. We must open up our eyes and see. Pray for vision to see clearly the man Who gave Himself for love of us, Our Divine Lord.”  (Mass Book, December 19, 1996, There is a Man on the Cross)

 

                Glorious Mysteries

                Resurrection

                Excerpt from Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S. J.

"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the day-
light; what you hear in whispers, proclaim
from the housetops."
(Matthew 10:27)
  

Jesus Has Come to Give Us Life

Jesus: "This is the day celebrating My Resurrection (Easter). The day of newness of life. I am Lord and Master. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Tell My people to come to Me if they wish to experience life in abundance. I want to give all an ever greater share in the life of My Resurrection. Without Me you cannot be happy, nor have peace, nor have real joy. Tell My people to surrender to Me more and more. The more they do so, the more they will experience My love, wisdom, power, peace, joy, happiness, mercy, and goodness. Within My Heart My people will find these riches. I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words."

Reflection: Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus has come to give us life, and to give us this life in abundance.

When we were baptized, we were incorporated into Christ and His Church. When we were baptized, we received the life of sanctifying grace. This life is a created sharing in the life of the Trinity. Truly, we are called to live a God-like existence according to the teaching and example of Jesus! It is our duty and our privilege to develop our life of grace—our Christ-life—through our participation in the Mass, through the reception of the sacraments, through prayer, and through all other good works. Indeed, we are called to love God and neighbor more and more.

What a glorious life has been given to us! In a spirit of thanksgiving, and together with Mary our Mother, let us always strive to know Christ more intimately, to love Him more ardently, and to follow Him more closely, so that He will always bring us to a closer union with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

 

                Ascension

Acts 1: 6-9

Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.

 
 

                Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
 

    From the Lectionary

                        Pentecost Sequence

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
    Shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
    Come, within our bosoms shine!

You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
    Sweet refreshment here below;

In our Labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
    Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
    And our inmost being fill!

Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
    Nothing free from taint of ill!

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
    Wash the stains of guilt away;

Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
    Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
    In your sev'nfold gift descend;

Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
    Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.

 


 

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.

 

 

                Assumption

                Sing: Hail Mary Gentle Woman

                Excerpt from the April 16, 1995 Rosary

The Assumption of Mary Into Heaven

  1. Jesus: Model yourselves after Mary, My Mother. She was taken body and soul into heaven. You, too, some day will be taken into My kingdom.

  2. Jesus: You must come to our Hearts. Pray from the heart, My beloved ones. As Mary was so united to My Heart, pray to Mary to unite yourselves closer and closer to My Heart.

  3. Jesus: The more you live this rosary in your daily lives, the more you will pray from your heart. It is in understanding Our lives that you will be joined closer to Us.

  4. Jesus: Our Hearts are a great symbol of Our love for you.

  5. Jesus: How is your heart? Is your heart free of all debris to unite with My immense love? Purify your hearts and come ever closer to Me for a heart that is full of sin cannot unite with My Heart. My Heart is pure and filled with love. To unite closely with Me, your hearts must be forever pure.

  6. Jesus: How I want to unite with each one of you in deepest love, to unite more deeply with you. The love that I have is immeasurable and the longings of your hearts are the longings to unite ever closer to My Heart. You will be satisfied in heaven, My beloved ones, for your hearts will be filled with My love.

  7. R. Mary went to heaven and united closely with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in a most intense union.

  8. Jesus: Your hearts crave this love that only I can give. Search you this barren desert and you will never satisfy the cravings in your hearts.

  9. R. Mary mothers us as she mothered Jesus. Mary is the Mother of the Church. We pray to Mary to lead us to an ever deeper union with God.

  10. R. We pray to Mary to lead this Church into deeper union with Her Son, to help the priests and the religious who are our ministers in this Church, to lead the souls to deep and longing love with Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

 

                Sing: Immaculate Mary

 

                Queenship of Mary

                Sing: Hail Holy Queen

    • It is enormously important that you feel as a body praying together, asking for the special coming of the Holy Spirit.

  4. Ask that the Blood of Jesus be spread on the Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world.

II. Begin the 6:30 prayer service

  1. Begin praying:  Dear Father in the name of Your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary, with all the angels and the saints and the souls in purgatory, we join in one mind and one heart and ask the Holy Spirit to come to all the world in a special way, especially to our priests. We pray all prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. By the precious Body and Blood of Jesus we cast out Satan far from this place, our families, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on us, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We beg for grace and mercy for the world and wish to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary with all gathered here in love. We wish to be forgiven for offending one another. We love You God, help us.

  2. Sing A Song from Jesus.   Refrain:  "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."

  3. Then begin the prayers of the Good Shepherd (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual).

  4. Sing The Rosary song   Refrain:  "Oh the rosary, the rosary is the love of Their two Hearts,   Oh the rosary, the rosary is the love of Their two Hearts."
          1) Ave Maria, Ave Maria.
          2) Jesus we love You, Mary we love you.
          3) This is her peace plan, Children must pray it.
          4) We turn to Mary, She is the Queen of Peace.
          5) Oh Sacred Heart Divine, Oh Heart of Mary pure, Ave Maria, We love to pray it!

  5. Begin the rosary. Please use the Rosary Books and the Rosary Aves.  The important thing is to pray the prayers and the rosary at 6:30 p.m., if possible. (Rosary mysteries need to be according to the Rosary Novena.)

  6. Read the Ten Commandments.

    1.  I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
