The Agony in the Garden

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

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

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

3. Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns

4. Song: Only This I Want

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

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

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

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

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

5. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

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

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

8. R. Life is rooted in Jesus.

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

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

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

   

Jesus Dies on the Cross

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

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

3. Song: Take and Eat

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

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

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

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

8. Song: Oh Burning Heart, O Love Divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here to love and care for me.

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

 

 

March 5, 1995 - Nursing Home

Jesus:  My dear sweet ones,

    I long to write you this letter. I love you so much. I want you to know how I wait our moments alone together. As you breathe, as your heart beats, I am within you, always with you. You are never alone. You are My chosen ones to be here. You have such time to be with Me. I wait this time when you talk to Me and tell Me of your love. You have the life. The real life, My grace, inside of you. I live in the graced baptized soul in a special way. I am so attentive to your every need. I never, ever leave you. As your heart beats each beat, I am with you. Will you be with Me, My beautiful ones, will you be with Me this moment?

    I ask you to suffer with Me. As I died on the cross, as I suffered at the pillar, as I sat crowned and mocked, I ask you to suffer with Me. It is in this suffering you will have new life. Suffering leads to life. My grace in you, vibrancy in your soul.

    Oh that a man would gain the whole world and could lose His soul.

    You have been given a great gift in your sufferings, in this time you spend here in the nursing home. It is time I am asking you to prepare yourself more and more for the award that is to come. You will be forever with Me in heaven. Eternal bliss, everlasting life, deep, deep union, in love with Me. Oh My child, the Father created you, so special, so unique, with such love. No person can love like you. You were created to know, love, and serve God. God wants your love this day. The Father loves you with the deepest love. I love you with My burning Heart on fire for love of you. The Spirit wants more and more to be joined in such love with you. He wants to penetrate your soul and move in you. He wants to be alive in you.

    Oh child, oh child, your time here is so important. Will you pray for this world in such darkness? Souls will be lost forever and ever. Souls will be in hell for their lives of unrepented mortal sin, that they spent on this earth. Will you pray for your brothers in darkness?

    Will you pray so fervently for our priests, My special anointed sons? I call you today and ask you, Jesus Christ, to pray for the priests.

    One priest fixed on the love of My Sacred Heart can spread such love to this world. One priest fixed to My Eucharistic Heart can lead souls to the power in this world that will renew many hearts. I am truly present in the Consecrated host. When people are joined to Me in the Eucharist miracles will happen.

    Oh please I beg, beg, beg you to offer your days for the priests. You are so important to the plan of the Father. Doing His will offered with the sacrifice of the Mass is a most powerful prayer. Pray for our priests My beloved, it is through them, many hearts will be led to the light.

    Pray for the souls in purgatory and ask them to pray for your intentions.

    If you offer up your day to the Father in union with the Masses being said throughout the world, you are doing so much work for the Father. You are such a big part of this plan.

    I love you so much and I am forever with you this day. Minute by minute, second by second, as you breathe, I am forever with you. Pray the prayer for union with Me.

    I love you, My sweet, sweet ones and one day we will be forever together in the courts of heaven with the Father and the Holy Spirit, joined in such union. You will be with Mary and all the angels and saints.

    I love you so much. I am Jesus your beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of your soul.

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

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

 
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

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

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 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

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
