The Joyful Mysteries

May 1, 1995
Monday, Feast of St. Joseph
Before the Tabernacle

 

The Annunciation

1. Jesus: I am with you, My dear ones. Put aside all the thoughts in your mind and focus entirely on Me.

2. Jesus: These are Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is an instrument that We will use to spread to this world the love of Our Hearts. Put yourself in the presence of God, truly present here in the Blessed Sacrament, in His Divinity and His humanity. I am here, My dear ones, with you the same as the day I walked on this earth and I speak to you. Open your hearts and listen to My words for I pour out to you My abundant love. Over and over again, I tell you how I truly love you. Listen to every word and hear the words that I speak that you may be so one in Me and I may operate from you. Give love to this world that is hurting, tell them of My abundant love. Focus on Me and meditate on each mystery. Pray to the Spirit to open your minds to lead you deeper and deeper into My Heart and the heart of My Mother. I am Jesus and I am here with you, My beloved ones. How it pleases My Heart that you have come to pray with Me.

3. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God.

4. Jesus: Do you see the great gift, My beloved ones, that the Father so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son into the world for love of you?

5. Jesus: The Father has a plan for each and every soul. You were uniquely created by God with such specialness, such preciousness, such dignity, created in the image and likeness of God. You have a purpose. You are called to carry the Gospel message into this world. Meditate on the Annunciation. The angel appeared to Mary. Mary complied to the will of the Father, always complying to the Father's will, always living according to His plan. For it is in living according to the Father's will, living, in His plan, that you will have peace and joy.

6. Jesus: Let not your hearts be troubled. The Father says let not your hearts be troubled. His plan is unfolding. Every soul is called to this plan. You have answered the call to come to this Center to be part of this plan to help renew the Church and the world. You are chosen, My special soldiers. Each one of you I have called here. My beloved ones, how I am so pleased that you have answered My call.

7. Luke 1: 38 Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’...

R. Look at the simplicity in the lives of Jesus and Mary in the Joyful Mysteries, the peace, compliance always to the Father's will. God gave to this world His only begotten Son. Jesus put on a little baby body.

8. Jesus: My ways are simple, My dear ones. Man makes things complicated. Man, in his willfulness, has made complicated things. Turn to Me. Focus on Me. Come to My Heart. Let Me speak to you and lead you ever closer to your home in Heaven.

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

10. R. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed in the womb of His Mother.

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave, Maria. Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

 

The Visitation

1. R. The angel appeared to Mary and told Mary that she was to be the Mother of God. Mary made haste to her cousin Elizabeth to tell her of the Good News. Think of the mystery that God is about to be born on this earth and the simplicity and the quietness with which their lives go on. It was in the Father's plan that the angel would come and tell Mary the Good News and that she would conceive through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Father has a plan for our lives.

2. R. Do they sound the trumpets and roll the drums? Jesus came to this earth. Such quietness and peace! Mary visited Elizabeth.

3. R. Always in compliance to the Father's plan. We are part of this plan. It is through the lives of Jesus and Mary in meditating on Their lives that we see the peace with which They lived Their lives for They lived in accordance to the Father's will.

4. R. Man in his willfulness has turned away from God. Your every breath and heartbeat depend upon the Almighty God. Many men have tried to make themselves equal to God. This is the sin of Adam. God gave Adam and Eve so many gifts and they wanted to be equal to God. Look at the world this day.

Jesus: My children, my children, I call out to you this day to be fearless, to go into this world and carry out the Father's plan for you are part of this plan. You are being called to go into the world and spread the Gospel. I am Jesus, your Beloved Savior. How I dearly love each one of you. Listen to My words to you. My Heart is an endless furnace of love, beating for My precious souls. Will you not carry this message into this world for Me?

5. R. Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and said to Mary:

Luke 1: 42-43 ... ‘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?

6. R. How lightly we take the great gifts that we are given this day; that Jesus remains with us in this room the same as the day as He walked this earth! He laments those He loves who ignore Him, the souls that have forgotten Him and treat Him so coldly. His Heart is burning with endless love for each soul so much that He, God, came to this earth born of the Virgin Mary and gave His flesh and blood for love of each and every soul. How can we not answer this call to spread His love to a world that is hurting and in pain, the world that is suffering. Jesus calls to each one of us to be His special apostles, to spread His love to a sick world.

7. R. If we saw Mary this day with Jesus in her womb, we would bow to see her carry the child Jesus within her. But Jesus comes to us in the Holy Eucharist and gives us Himself, no less present than the day that Mary carried Him in her womb. He cries out so tenderly and with such love for each and every soul. How He longs and thirsts for their love.

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

9. Song: My soul rejoices in God, my Savior.

Luke 1: 47  and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; 

10. R. Even in the womb of his mother, John the Baptist leapt for joy to know how near Jesus was to him. Do we leap for joy that we receive the Son of God within us when we go to the Holy Eucharist? Who are we that God gives Himself to us?

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave, Maria. Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. Jesus came to show us the way. He was born in such poverty, not a place for Jesus to lay His Head.

2. R. Jesus was laid in a manger at birth; Jesus died on the cross - both bare wood. Always before His eyes the thought of His upcoming suffering. Jesus is God. He knew of what was to come. But His greatest sufferings were not the sufferings that He would experience to His body. For He is love. He came to this earth for love of us. He would gladly suffer for each one of us. His greatest sufferings were the sufferings to His Heart for Jesus knew of His mission, He knew sufferings.

3. R. Jesus was born in a manger in such poverty and He died hanging on a cross. He rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. Our true home is not in this world. He came to show us the way. He came to show us love. He is God.        

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.

R. Jesus loved us so much that He gave Himself, His flesh and blood on the cross. Jesus' birth shows us of the great love that God has for us. Conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Son of Man, God made man.

4. R. In baptism we receive a sharing in His life.

5. R. Jesus died on the cross; He rose and ascended into Heaven, but He remains with us this day in greatest love, truly present in the Eucharist. We are to carry out His life, death, and resurrection in our lives.

6. R. It is through the Holy Spirit that we are formed in the Heart of the Virgin Mary more and more into the image and likeness of God. As Jesus was formed in your womb, Dear Mary, through the Holy Spirit, form us more and more to be likened to your Son, Jesus, so that we may carry out the mission that the Father had intended for us; to live in this world and to spread the love of God.

7. R. Look at the birth of Jesus. In such poverty, He is born. But there is such joy!

8. R. May we model our lives more and more after the lives of Jesus and Mary so that in this world the life of Christ will radiate from our being.

9. R. Jesus came to this earth a helpless baby. We can approach a baby so loving, so tender, so innocent. Jesus came to us with this love. Jesus longs and thirsts and waits for us to come and join our hearts in union with His Heart in the Blessed Sacrament. How Jesus longs and thirsts for our love. He asks for one thing: not gold palaces and temples, not wealth and riches; He asks for our love. Give us the grace, Jesus to love You more and more. Mary, as you held the child Jesus in your arms at His birth, hold us tenderly close to your heart and lead us to His infinite love.

10. R. Always peace! Look at the Joyful Mysteries — how Mary and Jesus and Joseph complied always with the Father's plan. The Father has a plan for each one of us and it is unfolding. It is only in living according to that plan that we will have peace and joy.

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave, Maria. Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

 

The Presentation of Jesus

1. R. Mary and Joseph took the child Jesus to the Temple and Simeon, filled with the Holy Spirit, was led to the temple. He told Mary and Joseph of the sufferings that Jesus and Mary would undergo.

2. R. From that point on, Mary always had before her eyes the sufferings of Jesus. As she beheld the tender child, she knew of the sufferings to come. Simeon had told her: a sword, too, shall pierce your soul, O Mary. Mary knew from this point on, every time she looked at her little child, that He would undergo great sufferings. Always before Jesus was the cross.

3. R. Mary complied always to the Will of the Father. Look at the peace as you see Jesus and Mary. Jesus knew the love of the Father. The Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one! Help us, O Spirit, to know the Father's will, to live as little children in the Father's will; so that we, too, may have peace deep in our hearts and experience more and more the love of our Heavenly Father.

4. R. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary, so joined from the moment of conception! The Hearts of Jesus and Mary that lead us closer and closer into deep union with God!

5. R. Look at the beauty of the tender child. Jesus is the Son of God, but Jesus comes into this world a helpless baby. Jesus teaches us in His life. Jesus taught us to do the Father's will. Look at Jesus as the Virgin Mary holds Him in her arms. Jesus meek and tender in Heart. So tenderly does she behold the child of God. So tenderly does she hold His lifeless body under the cross, battered, bruised and bloodied. This is the love of the Two Hearts. A sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.

6. Jesus: There are so many souls that are walking in darkness that have turned from God. There is only one way: it is to follow My way. My beloved ones, I call out to you this day to heed My words for sufferings will befall this earth. Man in his willfulness has turned from God. Children are suffering and being persecuted. I beg you from My Most Sacred Heart, to draw yourselves ever closer to Me, for I will lead you into this world as strong soldiers to minister to the hurting souls. What you do will make the difference in this world, for I am calling out to you. Can you not answer My plea? I am Jesus. I love you so dearly that I gave My flesh and My blood for you. My beloved souls that I love so dearly will be condemned and sent forever to hell! Pray, My dear ones, pray to the Spirit for fearlessness to go out and spread this message for so many souls will drop into hell like rain. What you do each minute of your lives is so important to the suffering souls. I am Jesus and I call out to you this day to come and to spread My love to this hurting world. I call to you. Will you answer? Listen to each word that I say to you. I am Jesus. I call you. Will you answer?

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

Jesus: Please answer My call here! Souls will be lost. My beloved souls that I love so dearly. I speak and do you hear? Listen! Don't close your ears and your eyes. I beg you, open up your heart. Purify your heart for what I give to you is a sharing in My life, in baptism and I give you My Divine Love abundantly. I outpour to you such riches.

8. R. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary. She stood beneath the cross and watched her Son as He hung for three agonizing hours, covered with blood, wounded, His hands pierced all the way through with nails. This is the love that He has for His precious souls: souls that have forgotten Him, that have turned to sin, that persecute children and murder babies. This is the love that God has for man that He sent into this world His Son Who died a brutal death. Mary stood beneath the cross watching her Son die. Jesus comes to us this day and calls us to spread this love to the world that is hurting and in pain. Mary, the lady is calling. She is calling each one of us from her Motherly heart. Our dear Mother calls and asks us to spread the love of her Son, Jesus, to the hurting world

9. Song: From the Day You Were Born

10. R. See Mary as she peered into the bloodied face of Jesus on the way to Calvary, with the cross heaped on His back laden with the sins of the world. See Mary, as she sees her Son. Once the baby she held so tenderly in her arms, now she sees Him covered with blood and wounded. She comes to us this day and asks us to be fearless soldiers to go into this world and to preach the Gospel for Jesus has died, He has risen and He will come again!

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave, Maria. Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. Mary: My beloved children, I am Mary, your Mother. There will be great gifts given in this room as you pray this rosary. Please answer this call to go into this world and be fearless. Pray for the grace to be fearless. You are my beloved ones that I have chosen, that I have called from my Motherly heart to spread the love of my Son to the hurting souls. I am appearing in great light for you, my precious ones. You, I will send into this world. Let your hearts be opened. Focus only on the love of my Son for He loves you with such deep, burning love. Listen to every word that He tells you from His burning Heart. You will know more and more the immensity of His deep love for you. You are His special ones. How I love each one of you present here this day. As the Child Jesus was lost in the temple, many of my children are lost in this world. Will you not help to lead them back to the love of my Son? I call to you. I am Mary, your Mother.

2. Mary: Gifts of healing will happen to your hearts for many children will be lead back through your efforts to spread His love. I am Mary, your Mother, and I thank you for responding to my call.

3. R. For all the souls that are hurting and in pain, we pray. For those suffering at this moment, the lost souls, we pray that they will cooperate with the grace that Jesus is pouring out to lead them back to the Heart of Jesus.

4. Mary: How my Motherly heart was pierced invisibly with a sword for all my little children that have gone astray. My Son, Jesus, loves each soul dearly. Many have chosen false gods when God is so good and so loving. Pray my little ones for your brothers in darkness. It is through your prayers that many will be led back to the Heart of my Son. My heart will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign but many souls will be lost. Will you not answer this call to help the souls to return to the love of my Son, Jesus?

5. Mary: Jesus is the Teacher! Come to the Eucharist, my children. How He feeds you with His own body and blood. How He outpours to you His abundant graces when you sit in front of the tabernacle. I am Mary, your Mother. Tell your friends to come to the Eucharist and to come to adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. In front of the tabernacle, Jesus outpours His grace to you in such abundance. I love you so dearly, my precious ones, my little children. You are my sweet, little children.

6. R. Always compliance to the Father's will! As we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary from the Annunciation to the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, we see before us that peace and joy lie in living in the Father's will, as little children complying to the Father's will, little children living to please their Father. God the Father so loved each one of us that He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice so that we might be with Him forever and ever in Heaven.

7. R. The message is love. How can we say that we love God and not love one another?

8. Mary: Focus on the love that Jesus has for you. Pray to the Child Jesus. This is very powerful, my little ones. Pray to the precious Child.

9. Mary: Spread these rosary meditations to all, also to my beloved little ones. Children need to pray the rosary. This is the weapon that will crush the head of satan. My dear ones, I am Mary, your Mother. Will you answer my call?

10. Mary: I send you out into this world among the wolves. You must stay focused on my Son, Jesus.

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave, Maria. Ave, ave, ave, Maria.

 

Jesus: I am Jesus, your Beloved Savior, and I call each one of you to closer union with Me - I give you My Sacred Heart. Come to My Heart and know the immensity of My love. For every word that I speak to you comes from the tender love within My Heart. As you read each letter, read each word as My love given to you, My precious ones. You take My letters so lightly when they are proclamations of the immensity of the love that I have for you. I ask you this day to begin reading your letters with such openness in your heart that you hear every word that I speak to you, for I am a person, and I am one with you, My little ones. My love I pour out and you do not hear. You do not take me seriously. Each word, I, Jesus Christ, say to you. My sweet, loved ones, tender love I have for you. You keep us apart by the way you read My letters. Read them as letters of My burning love. Each word I say to you.

R. This rosary was prayed before Jesus in the Tabernacle and Mary in Our Mother of Sorrows statue in Our Mother of Sorrows Chapel. Rita, Cathy, Joe, Margaret Mary, the Dodds, Marty and one other person were present.

 

The Sorrowful Mysteries

June 23, 1995
Sorrowful Rosary on Feast of Sacred Heart
Before the Blessed Sacrament

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: I knock at the door of your heart, and I bid you to let Me come in.

R. Put yourself in the presence of the Almighty God and feel this presence so deep within your soul. Make a spiritual communion.

Jesus: Focus on My presence with you at this moment.

R. Deeply, the presence of the Almighty God is here and in this room before the exposed Eucharist. The same Jesus that walked the earth, the same Jesus that hung on the cross, the same Jesus that was carried in the womb of His Mother, is in this room, truly present in the consecrated host. The busy world goes on around us as we hear the rumble of the cars, and within this church, the Son of God is present no less present than the day He walked on the earth two thousand years ago. And we sit here and we soak in the rays, the rays of His life that He is imparting to us. Special gifts given to us for coming and being with Him. The Almighty God, how can we be in the presence of the Almighty God in His Divinity and humanity and not receive special gifts, special graces, a saturation in our soul of His life in us and the gift of His Divine Love. Let our hearts burn within us as we realize more and more through this rosary that God is here and giving us great gifts.

2. R. Put aside all of the distractions in your world. As if He has lifted the veil and you are on the other side, there is only a conscientiousness of those things of God. The world ceases to be around you and you are taken into the sanctuaries of His Heart and there He will speak to you and tell you of His immense love poured out through His Most Sacred Heart, poured out into your heart and into your soul.

Jesus: I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and I am giving to you abundant graces to grow more and more in your life with Me. Release yourself and come away with Me. Let go of any distraction that is in your mind and listen to My words of love that I am speaking to you.

3. Jesus: Be alone with Me in the garden. Kneel there next to Me. Do you hear the sounds of the night? Do you think of the coldness? My apostles, they slept. My dear one, will you comfort My Heart this day for all those who have forgotten, who treat Me indifferently in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, My sacrament of greatest love. On this, My feast, the Feast of the Sacred Heart will you open wide your heart and pour out your love to Me. I long and thirst for this love. I knelt all alone in the garden and My Heart was in such anguish for all the souls that would reject Me and forget Me.

4. Jesus: My greatest agonies were not the agonies that I suffered to My body, My dear ones, but they were the agonies that I felt to My Heart. My Heart longing and thirsting for the love of My precious souls, these were the greatest agonies. I would have suffered more, more wounds, more bleeding for love of you.

5. Jesus: You My faithful ones, you have answered the call, the call that I have made to come and to be with Me. I am truly the Son of God present here the same as I was two thousand years ago. You have come and answered this call.

6. Jesus: I allow you My dear ones to hear My voice and to hear My pleading, for I am God and I wait behind the tabernacle doors in the churches of this world, waiting and longing and thirsting for My precious ones to come and they have forgotten.

7. Jesus: The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the sacrament of My greatest love for men, I remain with you this day. I remain in the consecrated Host, no less present than the day I walked this earth. My agony so great in the garden that My sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground, to see before Me all the souls that would be condemned to the fires of hell, despite My suffering and My death. My dear ones, it is your love that you give to Me today that comforted My Heart in the Garden. As I suffered such agony I was comforted by your acts of love given to Me this very night.

8. Jesus: Make reparation to My Heart My dear ones. Come and be alone with Me, I am a God with such love.

9. Jesus: I love, I love, I love. I bid you to open the door to your heart and come away with Me My beloved one. Release yourselves and pray for a special grace to be taken deeper and deeper into My Heart.

10. Song: O 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.

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. R. They seized Jesus, and they led Him away and tied Him bound to the pillar. See Jesus as He surrenders and gives so willingly. Think of how we are today, how we are given crosses to draw us closer to Him and how we fight these crosses. Jesus came to show us the way. I see all through His passion the lack of resistance. He knew it was the Father's will that He be taken and scourged at the pillar, that He was crowned with thorns, that He died on the cross. There was not resistance in His actions. He complied willingly. Think of ourselves, how we resist even things that we know that will bring us to greater life with God. We fight. It is only in complying to the will of the Father, in following His plan that we will have peace and joy in our hearts.

2. Jesus: My Heart is burning and on fire for love of you, burning My dear one. What can I say? How can I tell you, more of My infinite love? You in your feeble mind can not comprehend even the smallest amount of this infinite love. Yet through the grace that I give to you, you delve deeper and deeper into the immenseness of the love I have for you. Release yourselves. Take all of the walls down from around your heart. I truly died and gave My life for you. Can you not trust Me, your God, who went to the slaughter, the little lamb led to the slaughter, covered with Blood, and He gave His last breath. Will you not surrender and let Me fill you with My grace. Come deeply into My Heart. I am Jesus. It is in your surrender that you will know more and more the mystery of My love for you.

3. R. I meditate being with Jesus, seeing Him scourged. They took their instruments and beat Him and tore His flesh. I want to be beside Jesus and comfort His Heart for all the souls that have forgotten, when He suffered so much for love of us. I want to be with Jesus for all the times that I have chosen others things before Him and He waited patiently and lovingly and unconditionally for me to return to Him. Jesus, Jesus, my love, help me to love You more and more.

4. R. Meditation: I see before me a man tied to the pillar, His body unmarred, and I see men striking Him with instruments that tore deeply into His flesh, and made Him bleed. The wounds, the wounds that are so wide and open, wounds far beyond our comprehension, so deep. So vile the deeds of these men. I meditate on this, being there with Jesus, I envision Jesus this way. How could I help but love Him deeply for He suffered for me, He suffered for my sins. He suffered and He died that I might share in His life today. He gives me an abundant sharing in His life. I sit before the exposed Eucharist. I know His love so deeply. The Almighty God is here in this room. If He removed the veil we could scarcely see. The world is blind, the world does not see. The ball games are packed and everyone is attentive to all of the functions of this world, and the Son of God waits and waits out of greatest love in an empty church. The same Jesus that was scourged at the pillar is here present in the consecrated Host and we do not see.

5. Jesus: My Heart, My dear one, is an endless abyss of burning love. Do you see My Heart? Do you see it open and on fire for love of you? Picture in your mind, My hand to the side of My heart as I expose to you, My Sacred Heart, on fire for love of you.

6. Jesus: Carry this picture with you in your mind. My hands on either side of My Heart and My Heart ablaze, surrounded by burning, beaming light of white and yellow hues...on fire for you.

7. Jesus: It is this burning love, this is the reason I surrendered without resistance as they tore My flesh and beat Me. This is burning love, for when you love, truly love, you give. You do not count the cost, you give. I love you My dear one, with the most perfect love. I am love. I gave My all for love of you.

8. R. Think of the little wounds you receive on your body, and think of the gaping wounds on Jesus' body.

9. R. He came to show us the way. He came, He gave His all. He died on the cross that we would have life abundantly. He imparts to us this sharing in His life. He gives us a sharing in His life in baptism. He feeds this life with Himself in the Eucharist, as we sit here in front of the exposed Eucharist. The more we are saturated in this life, the more deeply we know Him. God feeds us with the Bread of Life, the Eucharist and His Word.

Jesus says: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive.

10. R. His love is not a lip-service love, it is the love that He gave His Flesh and His Blood, that He was scourged mercilessly at the pillar. This is the love that He has and the love He wants from us, our hearts that are on fire for love of Him. So that when we hear the Word of God we are filled. The love of which He speaks is beyond our comprehension. It is an inexhaustible source. He wants deeper and deeper and deeper love, so that when we receive Him in the Eucharist we scarce can breath to receive the Almighty God within our being.

Song: Come give us life abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

 

The Crowning with Thorns

1. R. Meditation: Envision the thorns pounded into Jesus' precious head. You see Jesus sit there. Jesus does not resist what they are doing to Him. They spit on Him and holler at Him and He accepts all that they give to Him.

2. R. He shed His Blood for us.

3. R. The thorns pressed deeply into His skull. Think of this, think of what a pin prick feels like. Can you imagine what it is like to have thorns pounded into your skull around your entire head? Jesus, thank You for wearing this crown for love of me.

4. Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns

5. R. Crown of thorns.

6. Jesus: My dear one, if you follow Me you will walk the road of persecution and ridicule. I am Jesus, the Almighty God, they crowned Me with thorns and beat My body.

7. Jesus: Think of the pressing down of the thorns on My head. Think of the wounds in My body, wide, open, deep wounds. They covered Me with a purple robe and the wounds burned under the cloak. My greatest agonies were not the agonies I suffered to My body, you look at My body and you see My wounds, and you know a little of the suffering and pain but how do you measure the wounds of the heart? My Heart, an endless fountain of burning love for My precious souls. Look at your world this day, see the sin and the violence. See the mothers that kill the baby within their womb, the precious life created by My Father and they take into their own hands the life of this child. My dear one, I suffered for the sin of men and I ask you this day in this world that is filled with sin to pray the prayers I gave Fr. Carter in the prayer manual to take this vocation seriously. Many have turned their hearts away from God. I ask you to be the light that shines in the dark night, for I am giving to you great graces. I am outpouring My life in your graced baptized soul. I am, My dear ones, giving you the courage to go into this world and to spread the Gospel, to stand firm for souls are at stake. See a soul, at the point of death, about to be in heaven, purgatory or hell. My dear one, you are preaching My love to this world by how you are in your heart. Let Me be one in you, let your every action be one in which you live in Me and through Me and with Me. I will touch this hurting world through you. Life is so short, the dropping of a pin and the batting of an eye and I call out to you this day. If you hear the sound of My voice, you know that I, God am speaking to you. I am telling you, this is a state of urgency. Look at the little children that are being taught such vileness. Will you not come to My Heart this day and give Me great love on this My feast? This is a gift of your heart. Surrender, go out and carry My love into this world. You are My light that will shine in the darkest night for you are powered by the Almighty God and filled with His life. You are My soldiers, soldiers I send into this world fortified with hearts filled with My love.

8. Song: Come give us life abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

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

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

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

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

10. Hail Mary

 
 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. R. We know the presence of the Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in our graced baptized soul. Where Jesus is so are the Father and Holy Spirit. The Trinity is 3 Persons in one God, a mystery. Know the presence of God here with each of us in our graced baptized soul. Let go and let Him work within your heart.

2. R. Satan has created so much confusion and doubt in this world. He is dividing families, dividing churches, dividing prayer groups. He aims at the priesthood in the Catholic Church. The more that we work to spread the love of God, the more satan is there to create division, confusion, doubt, hatred and anger between people that are to love God. If satan presses on people to cause confusion then we can not focus as well on the job at hand, which is to spread the burning love of the Heart of Jesus. Come to the tabernacle and be saturated with His life and His love. Pray to the Spirit to fill us with the courage to go out as the apostles did and to spread this love. This is our cross this day, to know the love of Jesus and to see the world that is suffering and in pain. The more we work, the more we are met with road blocks, but the more we come to the tabernacle we are lifted high up and He helps us. We are saturated with His life, and it is His life operating within us that helps us do His work and solve difficulties.

3. Jesus: To spread the love of God to this world My dear ones, you must be filled with the love of God in your hearts. The crosses that you carry this day, as you work may make it seem hard to spread this love, I am leading you to greater life in Me. Carry your cross without resistance. Carry your cross and know that at every second I am with you and I am guarding you and leading you on your way. I will never abandon you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and you My dear ones, are doing My work.

4. Jesus: I am Jesus. I am Jesus. I am Jesus. I am alive. I live in your heart. I am truly present in the Eucharist no less present than the day I walked this earth and you are given great gifts at this very moment. Surrender and know the presence of the Almighty God.

5. Jesus: You can deeply experience Me in the interior union, in your heart. Let go and let Me fill you with My grace. It is in a oneness that you know within you. Reach with your heart and your soul. Come to the Eucharist and be joined deeply in this oneness with Me.

6. Jesus: Come to the Mass. Unite in the celebration the Mass with your whole heart, with fervor, with devotion. Meditate My dear ones, on My life. Know that I am present. Focus on My presence with you at every moment.

R. See in the Mass, see Jesus in the priest, the priest who is celebrating the Mass, as he changes bread and wine into the Body and Blood, of Christ.

7. Jesus: I carried the cross on My back. My whole body was wounded and bleeding. My head was crowned with thorns. This is the love, I have for you. Can you not come to the Mass and pray so deeply in purity and love. Every minute that you are there pray from deep within your heart and pray for grace to unite more fully in the sacrifice of the Mass. It is there My dear ones, that I am giving you great graces, this abundant outpouring of My life.

8. Jesus: Veronica wiped My face with a cloth and it was covered with sweat and blood. I gave Myself for love of you. Will you pray with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole mind? I do not call you to a conversation about love. I call you to love from your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole being.

9. Jesus: I am Jesus, the Son of God. I want hearts that are on fire for love of Me.

10. R. From this relationship with Me you will know a life that you never deemed possible, I will live abundantly in you. Your life is a journey at Baptism until you, My beloved ones, are taken into heaven.

 

The Crucifixion

1. Jesus: Read the scriptures My dear ones. Read the scriptures with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole being.

2. Jesus: It is there I speak to you. The Word and the Eucharist is the Bread of Life. If you read one passage from one of the Gospels, you will be brought back to your focus of Me.

3. Jesus: I hung on the cross for three agonizing hours. My Mother stood beneath the cross. This is the love that I have for you, that I gave My life, I gave My Flesh and My Blood. I want hearts that are on fire for love of Me.

4. Jesus: Will you help make reparation to My Heart for the souls that have forgotten God?

5. Jesus: Will you help make reparation to My Heart for the indifferences, negligences, and sacrileges committed against Me in the Blessed Sacrament?

6. Jesus: Will you let go each day and consecrate your heart to My Heart and My Mother's heart? It is through her Immaculate Heart that you are lead deeper and deeper into My Heart.

7. Jesus: As I was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, you are formed in the spiritual womb, the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit to be more and more in the image of God as the Father intended you to be. It is through Mary's Immaculate Heart that you will be led to deeper and deeper union and love with Me.

8. Jesus: My dear ones, consecrate your hearts each day to My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. Make this a consecration to Our Two Hearts this day, every day of your life. As you eat and as you sleep that you will give your hearts to My Sacred Heart through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

9. Song: I Love You Jesus

10. Jesus: The plan of the Father is unfolding. This is to help in the completion of Fatima message. My dear ones, My Sacred Heart will Reign and My Mother's Immaculate Heart will triumph and there will be this great era of peace Mary promised at Fatima, but many souls will be lost to the fires of hell. I call you to go out into this world to be an example, to spread the love of God that is deep within your hearts. It will radiate from your being. You must come to Me and be joined in deepest union with My Heart. Put yourself in the Heart of My Mother and rest as a little child in her Heart. Ask her to take you into My Heart. There you will dwell and feel secure against the wind and the storm. I am Jesus, I call out to you this day. You are so important to the Father's plan. Each one of you uniquely created by the Father. Will you answer the call of God the Father? Will you open your heart and join in deepest union with My Heart? All will work if you busy yourself about our love affair. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire for love of you.

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

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

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

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

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul

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

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

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

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

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

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
