I Give you Myself, in the Eucharist

Jesus: My dear ones,

I am forever with you, hear the gentle
voice within your heart say, I love you
I love you, I love you.

My grace I outpour to each of you in the Eucharist.
Come to the Eucharistic Heart
of Jesus Christ. I will shelter
you from the storm.

I am Jesus, your Savior, My grace
    I pour out to you in abundance
    at Mass. This is My body given
    up for you and I remain with you
    this day, in the Holy Eucharist, in
    My Divinity and humanity no less
    present than the day I walked this
    earth. Who are you to be so
    favored to come here?

You are My chosen ones. I love you with
an endless burning love. These are My
beloved priest-sons, given such honor through
Me to change bread and wine into My Body
and Blood. My Father, and the Holy Spirit,
and My Mother Mary are present with you in
this Mass, all the Angels and Saints. Do
you even comprehend what goes on here,
do you understand even a minute amount,
you would be in tears. My children, My
children, how you are loved, by the
Almighty God. He is present with
you, bend low, fall on your knees
and praise your God: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. Mary is present and with you.
How I love you My beloved ones.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

After Communion

R. We are one in Him, joined in such union —

Sing: One Bread, One Body

R. We are fed in the Eucharist

Jesus says: "I give you Myself"

R. Unity with Jesus in the Eucharist
Let your heart burn in love in your hearts —
Love From the Divine Lord —

Sing: One Bread, One Body

Riverview Nursing Center
Eucharistic Message

Jesus: My dear, precious ones:

    I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never die. I give you Myself. I give you My Body and Blood in the Eucharist. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am as present as the day I walked on the earth, the day I hung on the cross. I come to you, My beloved chosen ones, and I give you Myself.

    You will unite ever so closely to Me in the Eucharist. My Heart is on fire for love of each of you present. I gave My life for you on the cross. I gave My flesh and My Blood. I give to you now My very Body and Blood.

    This is My Body, given up for you. This is My Blood, shed for you.

    Meditate on My Passion when you pray the rosary. I am the Bread of Life. I give you Myself. I share with you My divine life, My divine love. You I love so dearly.

Jesus

The Sorrowful Mysteries
12:00 Noon
Feast of Blessed Katharine Drexel
First Friday — Season of Lent
Before the Tabernacle

 

                Jesus: I, Jesus, call out to you — will you help Me?

                The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: How it pleases My aching Heart that you have come to join Me and be with Me, present between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Friday. This time is so special to Me, the time that I hung on the cross in such agony.

2. Jesus: My Heart beats so many beats for each one of you, an endless burning love; and you do not hear Me say, second by second, moment by moment, in your busy lives how I love you.

3. Jesus: The hour that is at hand is so precious to My Heart. As I suffered with the agony in the Garden, I was comforted by the acts of love that you give to Me this very day.

4. Jesus: Come, My beloved chosen ones, so dear to My Heart. I call out to you to put yourself into My presence, to block out your world, to close yourself off and be alone with Me, to share this hour in intimacy with My burning Heart on fire for love of you.

5. Jesus: Do you see the screen that I have placed around you? Do you see this so you can be alone with Me?

6. Jesus: This is the hour that we will share great love. You and I! My beloved ones, how dear you are to Me! Come and be ever closer to My Most burning Heart on fire for love of you!

7. Jesus: Blood red! My blood was ever so red! It is the fire of My burning Heart. I truly shed My most precious blood for you, My dear ones. Focus on My blood. Focus on red during this hour, on My blood on fire for love of you!

8. Jesus: I saw before Me all My Passion. I saw everything that I would receive. But the worst was the agony to My Most Precious Heart for the souls this day that treat Me coldly, indifferently, and I love them dearly.

9. Jesus: Open your heart wide and let Me fill you with My life given this hour. I pour into your heart My abundant love, My abundant life. As you receive this increase in My life, My grace abundantly poured out to you and know more My Divine love, I ask you to go out into the world to spread this love to all your brothers. My dear ones, did you not know My love? It is through Me that they will see this immense love that I have given to you.

10. 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.

(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: They beat Me! They scourged Me! My back, covered with open wounds! I bled so profusely! This blood I shed for love of you, My dear ones. Do you see? Do you see even a little of this immense love that I have for you? Pray to the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, to open your hearts more to realize the immense love that God has for you. The Father sent His only begotten Son into this world born of the Virgin Mary. I am with you this day in this room truly present. God, is present and in your midst! As you focus on the blood that I shed, look at My back wounded deeply and bleeding. Do you see?

2. Jesus: I am with you! God is in your presence and how I love you! I can tell you and tell you and tell you, but you must open your hearts and realize I am speaking to you! When you realize more My love, you will give to this world the love that I want to give through you. Your gift to this world is to open your heart wide and let Me penetrate your being so it is no longer you who live, but I who live in you. I am in you this day. I am present in this room the same as the day I walked on this earth. I am here with you, My chosen ones! You are My army to go out into the world and to spread the Good News!

3. R. Jesus stood in a puddle of His own blood! What more do we need to see the love that Jesus has for us? But we reach to the world and we ask the world to fill our needs when minute by minute, second by second, He is within. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwell within us when we are baptized and in the state of grace — God dwells in our graced baptized soul. And that soft gentle voice of Jesus cries out: "I love you, I love you, I love you"!

4. Jesus: My soldiers, My soldiers, My soldiers, I send you into this world, a world that has become godless. You are in the midst of wolves. They will spit on you, they will persecute you. But you will know the fire of My love as it burns within your heart, burning deeply, brightly. Your heart will be warmed with intensity for no person on the face of this earth can ever take you from the interior love that you feel within your breast. You will be strong and stand against the world. When the wind blows and it knocks on you, you will stand straight. You will be supported by the fire of My love that is within you. I am a pillar within your heart and it is through My strength that you will be My soldiers to go into this world that has forgotten God. I call out to you this day. Surrender, surrender, surrender to the God who loves you so that He was scourged at the pillar, covered with blood, beaten! This is the love I have for you. Do you need more proof?

5. 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.

6. Jesus: A pillar of strength! My dear chosen ones, I love you!

7. Jesus: Do you hear My cry and My plea? They are the cries of God! This world is in such a shape and who can I call if you will not answer? You do not know the sorrow with which I call out to you! Please, listen to My pleading! Look at the world! Look at the children that are being wounded before they are even able to talk. Children are being violated! Whom can I call if you do not answer? I call to you, My chosen ones, this day to take a stand. I call you to realize the intensity of My pleading. I am pleading to you to spread My love letters throughout this world, they are My letters of deepest love that touch hearts deeply within. I ask you, will you help Me spread My love to a world that has forgotten God, a world that murders babies, a world that poisons children with the television within their own homes? Do not hold back! I call out to you this day. Who will answer if you will not answer Me when I talk to you.

8. Jesus: I talk to you, to go out to this world, to realize that I am asking you to spread My love. I will fill you with abundant love inside of your hearts that you will be fixed in union with Me, that you will know My life in you, My love as it burns within your breast. You will be compensated for the efforts that you produce.

9. Jesus: I was scourged at the pillar for love of your brother! Do you know how I love these souls that are sinning, that are in pain? I ask you to go out, to be strong, to pray to the Spirit for the fearlessness that you need to do this job. I will fill you with abundant grace to carry out this mission that I call you to this day. You will be My warriors, marching on a world that is sick and suffering. Pray for strength!

10. Jesus: I will make My plan visible to you. You must surrender. You must pray for union with Me so that it is no longer you who operate, but I Who operate through you. I am Jesus, the same Jesus that was born in Bethlehem. I am with you this day in the Tabernacle, pleading and begging you to do the work that I am asking you to do - to spread My love to the hurting world.

(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 Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. Jesus: Be with Me! Feel the blood as it rolls down My face from the thorns! See with the blurry eyes that I saw through! Blood, covering My eyes! Do you see your world or do you close your eyes? Whom do I call if you to whom I am speaking will not answer?

2. Jesus: I want to be so close to you! I want to be joined as one with you! I want to live in you, to act from you! You must surrender! Give up that control. Pray for union, greater and greater union. For I will send you as warriors into this world and I will act through you. You do not have to think about what you will do. You must be joined in union with Me and I will act. Let go of your control. Surrender more and more to Me!

3. Jesus: As I looked at the world through blood stained eyes, you must look at the world, but see clearly the sin that is before you. See the world in the state it is in. See the children as they are suffering. See the paper. See the television. See all those that are sinning throughout the world. Your light connected to Me can affect many souls. You do not know the power of a heart that is united to the Almighty God. A heart that is one with God is filled - a light. Focus on My power and you will realize I can operate in you. Surrender and become one with Me. I will operate in you. Your job is to draw ever closer to My Heart, to consecrate your hearts to My Most Sacred Heart and the Heart of My Mother. Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!

4. Jesus: Know this! I want to be so close to you. Every second of your existence be aware that I live in you and am saying to you — I love you, I love you, I love you!

5. Jesus: You are wed to Me. Moment by moment, realize that I am the Bridegroom of your soul! There is such intensity between the relationship that we have, but you must let go. Second by second, realize that I am living in you!

6. Jesus: See Me all through My passion, perfect peace on My face! I knew the Father's love. You will know My love, My immense love more and more in your heart. It is your free will to surrender and become ever closer to Me.

7. Jesus: I speak to you in the inner prompting of your heart. With each one of you, I want to be wed to your soul. I want to be the Bridegroom of your soul. Purify your hearts! Make your souls spotless for I am the bridegroom of your soul.

8. Jesus: When you receive Me in the Eucharist, let go! Let go and let Me operate in your heart!

9. 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.

10. Jesus: Be one in Me!

(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 Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. Jesus: I carried My cross on My back. I carried the heavy cross laden with the sins of men. I carried the cross with greatest love. I did not complain. I did not put it down. I give you crosses. You will receive more and more My abundant life in staying rooted in Me. Accept all the sufferings that I give to you and know that they will draw you ever closer to My Heart. In every thorn, there is a rose! I never give you more than you can handle. In these sufferings I draw you closer to Me.

2. Jesus: As I walked, My Mother forever by My side, she walks by you in all your sufferings. Focus on My Mother! How close she truly is to you! You do not walk alone, you are surrounded by angels and saints. You are so chosen and so loved. Open up your hearts and let Me penetrate your souls. Let Me teach you My ways. There is so much that I have to give to you.

3. R. And their eyes peered into each other's eyes. That look of such intimacy!

Jesus: The key to your intimacy with Me, with God, is through Mary, My beloved Mother! I love My Mother! I want you to come through the Heart of My beloved Mother into My Heart. Consecrate yourselves daily to Her Heart and to My Heart.

4. Jesus: Her Heart was pierced with a sword. My Heart was pierced with a lance. The symbols of such love for you that we suffered. In love there is suffering. These Two Hearts are great symbols of our love for you. Come to our Hearts and dwell there! Forever in our Hearts! Come through My pierced Heart and dwell deeply in such abundant love for I truly love you, My beloved ones!

5. 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.

6. Jesus: I call out to you to open up your hearts and to pray for those who plug up their ears and close their eyes for I am truly here in your midst this day in such a special way. I ask you to pray, pray, pray to open the hearts of those who will spread My love throughout this world.

7. Jesus: The blind do not see and the deaf do not hear! They have plugged up their ears! They have closed their eyes! Pray more and more for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to descend upon all here to open their hearts to the fire of My burning love. I truly am on fire with love for you. See the blood which I shed on the way to Calvary. See Me covered from head to My feet with wounds, with thorns! This is the love that I have for you. Pray for your brothers! Pray for an outpouring of the Spirit. You do not know the power of your prayers when you are fixed closely to My Heart. The deeper in union you are with Me, the greater your intercessory prayers. I ask you this day to unite with My Heart, to be drawn ever closer to My Heart.

8. Jesus: Your prayers offered up in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout this world are so important. Pray! Pray! Pray! Every act you do that is in accordance with the Father's will when offered up with the Mass, is a mighty prayer. I ask you today to see Me under the cross! This is the extent that I went to, to save the souls that I love. Will you help Me spread this love throughout this world?

9. Jesus: Total surrender! They stripped Me of My garments! I gave My all for love of you!

10. Jesus: Will you surrender to a Heart that loves you?

(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 Crucified and Dies on the Cross

1. Jesus: Such grace I outpour to you in this Holy Hour between 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m. before the Blessed Sacrament - the time that I hung for three agonizing hours to My death! My greatest suffering was not the physical suffering, as intense as it was. It was to My most precious Heart that loves and thirsts for souls, the souls that have forgotten God, that sin constantly, that have cut themselves off from the great gifts that I want to give to them. This is the greatest agony that I experienced during My hours on the cross, for the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite My suffering.

2. Jesus: See Me there against the darkened sky with a weakened body, hanging!

3. Jesus: Can you not trust? Picture in your mind this picture. I gave My flesh! I gave My blood! I gave My all for love of you!

4. Jesus: You must totally let go. As you see Me hanging with My arms suspended, as you see Me hanging, I gave the last drop of My blood, the last beat of My Heart. I gave My all! It is in surrender that miracles will happen in your life. Constantly you must hear that gentle voice in your heart telling you: I love you, I love you, I love you!

5. Jesus: Does a mother forget her child, the child at her breast? If a mother would forsake her child, I will never, ever abandon you!

6. Jesus: In the greatest suffering, there is new life!

7. Jesus: Die to yourselves that you might live more and more in Me!

8. Jesus: If a mother forsake her child, I will never abandon you!

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. Jesus: Be alone with Me! This time alone is so precious to My Most Sacred Heart!

Jesus: I outpour to you My grace in such abundance! Open up your hearts and let Me penetrate your being for I am truly present here with you this day. Your hearts will be drawn ever closer to My Heart. Surrender! Surrender! Surrender to the God Who gave His flesh and blood, Who gave His life, Who gives His Body to you this day! With burning love, My life I give to you, all that you need. Second by second, I am within you. Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!

(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.)

 

This rosary was prayed in the Holy Spirit Chapel of the Holy Spirit Center before Jesus in the Tabernacle at 12:00 noon. Rita, Daniel, Mary, Sue R., Karen, Ed and Marty were present.

The Sorrowful Mysteries
Feast of St. Casimer
First Saturday — Season of Lent

Meditate on the Blood and Passion of Jesus

 


 

                The Agony in the Garden

1. R. Be with Jesus as He kneels in the Garden. Be there! See the dark night and see Jesus. Put yourself right there so that you can experience this mystery so deeply in your heart, so that you can be drawn closer to Jesus as you meditate on this mystery.

2. Jesus: My greatest agonies were not the agonies that I experienced to My Body, the wounds that I would receive, but My greatest agonies were the agonies that I experienced to My Most Sacred Heart.

3. R. Jesus saw before Him all the souls from all time, the souls that He loved dearly and would neglect Him and treat Him indifferently.

4. R. He saw His entire Passion before His eyes: all the battering, all the wounding, the carrying of the cross, the crowning with thorns. He knew of His death on the cross. He saw this clearly before His eyes and He saw the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all of His suffering.

5. R. The natural fear of death came into play. He went to the Apostles and He said to them: "Can you not watch one hour with Me?" But they slept! Peter, who had vowed to remain always faithful, slept. And Jesus went away!

6. R. He loves us so dearly that He remains with us this day in the Eucharist, in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day that He knelt in the Garden, waiting and longing and thirsting for our love. He saw before Him the endless hours that He would remain in the Tabernacle and so few souls would come to be with Him.

7. R. His agonies were so great that His sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground!

8. R. Lately when we pray the rosary, there is a red filter throughout the room. Frequently everything in the room is blocked out and all that remains is Jesus' face. He wants us to meditate on the blood that He shed for each one of us. His red blood! In meditating on this blood, you will realize more and more the immensity of His on-fire love, His burning love that He has for us. He truly shed His blood because He loves us so much!

9. Jesus: I call out to you, My beloved ones. How dearly I love each one of you that is here this evening. I want to be ever closer to your heart. Meditating on My passion you will realize more and more the immensity of the love that I have for you.

10. Jesus: Meditate deeply on My passion all through this Lenten season for My Heart longs and thirsts to be drawn ever closer to you for I truly shed My blood for love of you, My dear, dear beloved ones.

(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. R. We speak about His love as we speak about our laundry — the love of God! This is not the way that He speaks of the love that He has for each one of us. He truly was scourged at the pillar. Tied! Beaten! To their own exhaustion with their angry hearts, they scourged Him with sharp instruments that tore His flesh and made Him bleed. This is the love that He has. When we speak of His love, when we read His Word, speak and read from the heart. He wants us to read every word, to know how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit love us. Out of greatest love, the Father sent His only begotten Son into this world, Jesus, that He shed His blood, Father, Son and Holy Spirit love us so much. The Spirit wants to move inside of each one of us to transform us more and more into the image of Jesus and lead us to the bosom of the Father.

2. R. If we realized for one second the immensity of the love of God, we would be in such tears. Their love is beyond our comprehension. They want us to experience this love penetrating in our being — to become one in us! Focus on His blood that He shed during this mystery of the scourging. See Jesus, with His unblemished back and then see His back torn, the blood pouring from His back. They stand there with their angry faces beating Jesus, tearing His flesh! This is the love that He has for us. It is not a little lip service love. It is the love He had when he was scourged at the pillar.

3. R. He asks us for two things: love of God and love of one another. He does not ask us to have a lot of money. He asks us to love one another. He came to show us the way. He was scourged at the pillar. Put yourself at the pillar. In the dim light, see the men as they beat His back. See them as they angrily hit Him. Then stop. Listen to the blows!

4. R. If you stop and listen to the blows that they gave to Jesus, listen in silence. He did not holler back. He complied always to the Father's Will. Not My Will but Thine be done! Hear Him scourged at the pillar and then know that He was scourged for each one of us because He loves us so dearly.

5. R. He was scourged for our brothers! How can I not like my brother when Jesus stood at the pillar and they tore His flesh because He loved my brother! How can I not love my brother when God the Father created my brother and he is a creation of the Father? When I hear the blows that Jesus received and think of the blood and His torn flesh and know He suffered this for love of my brother, how can I not like my brother?

6. R. His greatest agonies were not the wounds that they gave to His body, the tearing of His flesh, the crowning of thorns. His greatest agonies were the agonies He experienced to His Most Sacred Heart. He, Who is Love, loves each one of us so much that He gave His flesh and blood for us. He loves us! We can not even comprehend. To say that His love is a burning furnace of endless love are such flimsy little words. There are no words to describe the love that He has for us.

7. R. How we whimper when we have a splinter in our hand or when we cut ourselves and we bleed! Jesus wants us to focus on the blood that He shed because in focusing on this blood we will realize the immensity of His love. God the Father truly sent His Son into this world. God came into this world out of greatest love for us. His creatures! Who are we that God comes into this world and takes on a human nature? We are His beloved chosen ones! The more we focus on this blood that He shed and it becomes real to us, the more we will realize the immensity of the love of God.

8. R. Jesus gave Himself on the cross, His body and His blood! He gives Himself to us this day in the Eucharist, truly present! God, gives Himself to us! He wants to be one with us. He wants to be united to us. We are human. Through Baptism we receive a sharing in His life, we are made children of God and heirs of Heaven. He gives to us this sharing in His life. He elevates our human nature to such heights when we are baptized and His grace He outpours to us.

9. R. Jesus outpours His grace abundantly in the Eucharist and when we sit in front of the tabernacle. He is there in His Divinity and humanity. We receive such abundant grace. He is there the same as the day He was scourged at the pillar. Grace is a sharing in His life and He wants to be close to us, to penetrate our being, to unite with us. He gives us Himself in the Eucharist.

10. R. He calls out to please stay with Him and pray with Him. After communion, we can be so one in Him. He gives us His body and His blood!

(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 Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. R. They pounded into His head a sharp crown of piercing thorns. The blood ran down the side of His face into His eyes and into His ears. Blood ran from His mouth from the blows they had given to His head. Look at Jesus' face streaming with blood! This is the blood that He shed for love of each one of us! He calls out to us today to come ever closer to Him. He is outpouring His grace to us so we may be filled more and more with His life in us. He outpours His love. The soul searches this barren desert for so many things to fill it when only the love of God will satisfy the soul.

2. R. It is an endless search, over and over again, from one thing to the next thing. Jesus waits ever patiently, ever close to us. When we are in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, dwell within the graced baptized soul. Listen! Take time to listen! Be quiet with Him! Hear Him say second by second, moment by moment, "I love you!" There are so many distractions, so many hard times we go through every day, but Jesus is inside of each one of us, present at every second as we breathe and as our heart beats, He is in there. In all the trials and struggles that we go through, He turns them into such a gift if we open our hearts and hear Him whisper in our heart: "I love you, I love you, I love you."

3. R. When someone is persecuting you, when you are being attacked, when it seems like things are coming down on you, stop, listen, and hear His voice inside say to you: "I love you!"

4. R. You can not straddle the fence. This world has turned godless. He is here and in our midst this day. He is here inside of us. If we are in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within our graced baptized soul in such a special way. He remains with us in His Divinity and humanity.

5. R. He talks to me and asks me to tell you that you must take a stand. Souls are at stake. You are His soldiers He is sending out into this world to spread His love. The world will persecute you as they persecuted Jesus but He is by your side. He knows what it is to suffer. He is calling out to you. The Father has a plan for you. He asks you to love God and love one another. It is in loving one another that we preach the Gospel to this world.

6. R. His body was covered with deep wounds, deep wounds that were bleeding, that were burning. His body was bruised and beaten. They put on His body a dirty purple robe that stuck to His bleeding wounds. He sat on a so called throne and they gave Him a scepter to hold. They spit on Him, they laughed at Him and they mocked Him! Sit there! Sit there as Jesus sat there streaming with blood with thorns on your head and think of people hollering at you and spitting at you! This is the love that He has for each one of us. This truly happened! He is asking you during this Lent to meditate on these mysteries often so you will be drawn close to His Heart. He longs, waits, and thirsts for your love. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who hung on the cross for three agonizing hours, Who gave His flesh and His blood because He loved you to His death!

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.

8. Jesus: My dear sweet ones, I call out to you. I watch you, so close to you as you struggle on your way and you think I have forgotten. Should a mother forsake her child, I will never abandon you. I stand forever with you. I watch you struggle and I know that in this struggle you will be drawn closer to My Heart. Withstand your suffering. In all suffering there is life. I know what it is to suffer. My Mother knows what it is. As she walked by My side, she walks by your side this day. Surrender to the God that loves you. Everything that you are experiencing, I am allowing. It will lead you to such life if you accept your trials and turn to Me for there is a bed of roses beyond the thorns. Trust me! Open your heart and draw yourself ever closer to My Most Sacred Heart on fire for love of you.

9. Jesus: I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I wait for you. I wait to be ever closer to your heart. It is in meditating on the blood that I shed for you that you will know more and more the immensity of this love that I have for you.

10. Jesus: How do I make you understand how I truly love you and wait this day for you? I speak to you here so you will know that I am truly waiting and longing for you.

(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 Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. Jesus: They gave to Me a heavy cross that they put on My shoulder. The cross was so heavy that I could scarcely move. The pain in My shoulder, it felt as if it would break! It would not go away. It just got worse and worse. As I carried My cross, I fell under the cross because I could not carry it.

2. Jesus: I saw My Mother in the crowd. My eyes peered into her eyes. Her face was reddened and streaming with tears. She looked into My eyes and she saw My face covered with blood. In that look, there was such intimacy between our Hearts. The peering look between Me and My Mother! The comfort and the pain!

3. R. See through the eyes of Mary! See her look at her Son at play. See her! See through her eyes as she now looks at her Son as He carries the cross on His back!

4. R. She appears to tell us to look through her eyes, to see her beloved Son, the cross on top of His body as He fell under it. She helplessly stood by and could not raise a hand to help Him. Her Heart torn deeply in her chest! She wants us to see through her eyes. It is in seeing through her eyes, we will realize the love that He has for us.

5. Song: I rocked Him as a baby. I fed Him as a child. I heard Him call my name out in the night...

6. Song: See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender infant child. See the child's Heart beat so tenderly, the Savior of the world!

7. R. What is love? Jesus is love! This is love, the love that He shed His blood, the love that He gave Himself and died on the cross. He bridges the gap between Divinity and humanity. He came to show us the way. He took on a human nature. Out of greatest love for us, Jesus was born a little baby, a helpless baby. A helpless baby, God, born a helpless baby in the town of Bethlehem. Look at a baby! He was the Almighty God! He humbled Himself so much to be born a helpless baby for love of us.

8. R. We cry and go about our way and say we are not loved. Jesus watches us and remains with us and is ever in our heart saying so softly "I love you, I love you." We are the ones that do not listen. We are blind. We do not see, we are blind men. It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit, by praying more and more to the Holy Spirit to open up our eyes, to help us to see more clearly, that we will grow deeper and deeper in our intimacy with Jesus. Holy Spirit, in the Heart of the Virgin Mary, transform us more and more into the image of Jesus. Who are we that God the Father created us in His own image and likeness? We are His chosen ones. The Father wants a child - a Father relationship with us. We are brothers in Christ - brothers. God is our Father. There is perfect love in the Trinity: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We should model all our relationships after this intimate communicating love between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Love is not inactive, love is vibrant. Love is deep love in the heart. Jesus is our teacher. We must go to Him, especially in the Eucharist and after communion and ask Him to instruct our hearts to know His love.

9. 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.

10. R. God calls us to love, love of Him and love of one another, not lip service love, but deep love giving from ourselves as Jesus gave all through His passion. The Father provides us with such 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 Crucified and He Dies on the Cross

1. R. See Mary as she cares for the tender hands and feet of her infant child and then see her as she stands by as they nail His hands and feet mercilessly to the cross.

2. R. The wounds to His hands and feet! They penetrated His hands and feet and went through to the other side. How deep are Your wounds, My Jesus? He suffered this agony for love of us and our brothers. Pray to Jesus for the grace to love our brothers as He loved our brothers. I can not love others unless I have love inside of me. Jesus wants to fill us to the brim with His love. He calls out to come to Him and let Him fill us with His Divine love, His abundant life that He fills us more and more.

3. R. He gave Himself on the cross. He spread His arms in total surrender. He gave His blood. They penetrated His skull with the thorns. The nails punctured His hands and His feet, He gave His all! He gives Himself to you this day in the Eucharist. For all the wounds that He suffered, the greatest wounds that He received were the ones to His Heart for He saw before Him all the souls from all time that would sin, that would neglect Him, that would treat Him indifferently, despite this immense burning Heart that is filled with love for each one of us this day.

4. R. The priest raises up the consecrated Host at Mass. I love the Consecration of the Mass. Who are we that God comes to us? Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist — the precious body and blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ!

5. Song: Look beyond the bread you eat, see your Savior and your Lord...

6. R. Pray for our priests! We are so favored to have the priests, specially anointed sons that He loves so dearly. Through the power of the Holy Spirit He gives the priests the power to change bread and wine into His body and blood. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. This presence is so overwhelming. And we go to Mass and take it so lightly, yet the priest is so chosen by God, the priest that can forgive our sins. Who are we that God gives this power to a priest? God has given us so much because He is so good to us and He asks us to pray for our priests, to kiss their hands, the hands that change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. Open up our eyes, O Holy Spirit, and help us to see the great gifts that you give to us in the Mass, in the Eucharist and in the Sacraments. It was through the pierced Heart of Jesus that the sacramental life of the Church was born. The water and blood that poured forth from His side. Water for baptism. Blood for the Eucharist. We are so chosen by God and given such great gifts and we take these gifts so lightly. He loves us dearly. Dear Spirit, open our eyes and help us to see clearly the things that will draw us closer and closer to God. Outpour Your grace so that we may know and love God more. Please touch each person in a special way join their hearts ever closer to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the Hearts of such love! Her Heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance!

7. Song: I know Your love a little now. So dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life! I thirst to be with Thee.

8. R. When the priest raises up the consecrated host, think that, that is the same Jesus Who hung on the cross for three agonizing hours, no less present than the day He walked on the earth with His cross on His back, no less present than the day He hung on the cross. See Jesus hanging on the cross. Know that it is Jesus' Body and Blood in the Eucharist, Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist when the priest raises the host. When you see the exposed Eucharist at adoration, pray for the grace to know more this great God Who loves us so dearly that He remains with us this day, in His Divinity and humanity, out of greatest love.

9. R. As Mary held the little baby body of Jesus in her arms in the Temple when Simeon prophesied the sufferings that she and Jesus would undergo, she now holds His lifeless body in her arms under the cross, covered with blood, without a breath in His body. Look at this picture. Mary with Jesus' lifeless body on her lap! This is the love that Jesus and Mary have for us! This is how Jesus complied to the Father's Will. He came to show us the way. It is in complying to the Father's Will that we will be the happiest, in living in His Will as little children. Not doing the Father's Will, doing what we want to do because we think it is a good deed, but is not the Father's will, is not the road to happiness. We need to live in the Father's Will as a little child trying to please their Father. This is what will make us the happiest. Dear Holy Spirit, please outpour Your gifts, help us to know the Father's Will. Help us to sit in silence with Jesus and listen to the inner prompting of our hearts to know the Father's plan for us.

10. R. And they locked Jesus in a tomb and rolled the stone sealing the tomb. His enemies were overjoyed because they thought they had won. But on the third day, Jesus rose triumphant. Death has no power over Jesus!

Song: New life, new life. He came to give us new life. New life, new life. He came to give us new life!

(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.)

 

This rosary was prayed at Bernie and Wilma's home in Northern Kentucky during their weekly Prayer Meeting. There were approximately 25 people present.

 

March 5, 1995 - Message received at a nursing home

My Nursing Home Ones

Jesus:  I come to each one of you this day with My Heart on fire for love of you. Open your hearts wide and let Me draw ever closer to you.

    Minute by minute, second by second, I am in your heart loving you. You are never alone! Listen to My gentle voice inside of you. Talk to Me! Share all your concerns, all your problems with Me. I loved you to My death!

   

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.

 

 

March 5, 1995

R. On March 5, 1995, Mary appeared, looking like she did on that July 5, 1994. She had darkened skin, it was the only two times I saw this colored skin. Her skin looked cracked and grooved. Later I was telling someone about it after Mary appeared in Florida and the person asked, "Was her skin the color of Our Lady of Guadalupe?" And I realized that it was just that color. Later I thought the cracked face was from the tears she cried. They had made grooves in her face. They were tears she cried for her children.

Glorious Mysteries
First Sunday of Lent

The Resurrection

1. Jesus: See Me adorned in white with My body glistening, My glorified body. Set your hearts at peace. Focus only on the sight of Me clothed entirely in white, My body glorified. Quiet your hearts and put yourself in the mysteries of this rosary that you will meditate on My life and the life of My Mother. See Me in your hearts clearly, adorned in white and present in this room with you.

2. R. Mary Magdalene and some of the others went to the tomb. They had prepared spices to put on Jesus' body. When they arrived at the tomb, the stone had been rolled back.

3. R. On the third day, Jesus rose from the dead. Death has no power over Jesus. He rose triumphant victorious to give us new life. Jesus Christ died on the cross and was locked in the tomb for three days, now He rises from the tomb so that we may have life and have it to the full.

4. R. See Him glorified. We believe like St. Ignatius - He appeared to His Mother. She had wept outside the tomb only three days before. Imagine how she would have felt to see her beloved Jesus in such glory!

5. 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.

6. R. The battle was over. The victory was won. Jesus Christ rose triumphant from the dead! How many sufferings we go through every day and we struggle and struggle while Jesus watches us. He says to us, His beloved children, that He is so close to us. We must struggle, we will have greater life in Him. He gives us this sharing in His life in baptism. He feeds this life with the Eucharist — He allows us to go through struggles. As He died and rose on the third day to new life, we, too, will rise from our struggles, from our crosses to new life with Jesus, if we stay connected to Him in all of these struggles.

7. R. Death! Resurrection! The Paschal Mystery! Jesus Christ is alive this day. He is truly present in the Eucharist.

8. R. Jesus is truly present in this room in the Eucharist, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Jesus, the Son of God, is in the Tabernacle! He has so much love, to give to us, He outpours His grace to each one of us when we receive Him in communion, when we sit before Him before the Tabernacle. He is truly here in His Divinity and humanity and He outpours His grace.

9. R. Death! Resurrection! He asks us to accept our crosses and to realize that in each cross we are drawn close to His Heart. This is the true gift - to be drawn closer to Him and know more His divine love, to know the love of His Heart.

10. R. It is through His pierced Heart that the Church was born. Water and Blood came forth from His pierced Heart. Water for Baptism. Blood for the Eucharist. Jesus is present this day. God is so good to us that He remains with us no less present than the day He walked the earth. Jesus is truly present in this room in His Divinity and humanity.

Song between decade: Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts...

 

The Ascension

1. R. He gave priests the power to baptize and to forgive sins. In Baptism we are made children of God and heirs of heaven. He gave the priests the power to take away our sins. Who are we that God is so good that we can go to a priest and he can forgive our sins?

2. Acts 1: 4-5  While at table with them, he had told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Father had promised. ‘It is’, he had said, ‘what you have heard me speak about: John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’ 

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

4. Jesus: Are you troubled, My little ones, troubled in your hearts? I leave you My peace as I left the Apostles before I ascended into heaven. I have not gone, I remain with you this very day with greatest love. I long to be ever closer to you and joined as one with your heart. Let go of all the distractions that satan has created in your hearts. Let go! Let go! Let go! Meditate on this mystery. See Me as I ascended into heaven. See as I ascended into the clouds!

5. Jesus: You worry, you fret and I am here in this room with each one of you. Put your world aside. Come to My Heart! There is not one thing in your life that I do not tend to. Minute by minute, second by second I tend to your every need and you fumble around and try to go alone. I go with you, My little ones. Open up your eyes and unplug your ears. I am the Almighty God and so close to you. You stumble and do not see the light. I call out to you to pray for grace. Pray for the Spirit to enlighten you, to open up your eyes and unplug your ears. You do not see. You look for that which is visible when before you, My beloved ones, is such a treasure.

6. R. He ascended into heaven and a cloud took Him out of sight. The Apostles were in awe as they looked from the field below. But they were filled with such fear for their precious Jesus had ascended to heaven.

7. R. They, who knew Jesus so well, who talked and lived with Him, were filled with such fear. But He promised to send the Holy Spirit. In fear the Apostles locked themselves in the upper room. We must pray more and more for the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts to transform us from fear to fearlessness.

8. R. Jesus has not gone. He is here with us this day in His Divinity and humanity, waiting, longing and thirsting for our love with a Heart that is brimming over with intense love. We see so little. We see only that which is in front of our face. Look beyond the consecrated host. Look beyond and you will see Jesus Christ, the Son of God, truly present in His Divinity and humanity remaining with us this day in greatest love.

9. Song: Look beyond the bread you eat. See your Savior and your Lord...

10. Hail Mary

Song between decade: Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts...

  

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1. Acts 1:5; 2:2-3  John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’

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.

2. Acts 2:4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. 

3. R. Jesus is calling each one of us here to go out to this world and to preach His Gospel, to love, to love our brothers. Dear Holy Spirit, descend upon us and fill us with the fire of Your love. We want to grow in deeper intimacy with You, Jesus and the Father and Holy Spirit. As the blood of Jesus was so red, so, too, is the immensity of the fire of Your love. Let us feel this fire within us. Move in us so that it is no longer we who operate, but You who live and dwell and operate in us.

4. R. As you transformed the Apostles from fear to fearlessness, dear Holy Spirit, transform us from fear to fearlessness to go out to this world, to be strong, to stand up for the love of God. We truly have the Good News! How can we hold back when we know in our hearts this immense love of God? How can we hold back this Good News and talk about such incidental little things? But we know! We know that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is present here this day and in our midst in His Divinity and humanity, with the greatest love. He longs and waits for us and calls out to us, and His Mother calls to us this day to take this plea seriously. The time is urgent. Souls will be lost for not knowing the love of God! Can you see your suffering brothers in hell, condemned to eternal damnation? What will we do when people look into our grave? Will it matter what people thought then? Or will it matter how we loved God and loved one another? Jesus and Mary call out to each one of us this day to rid our hearts of impurities of hate and anger for Jesus unites with us in holiness, purity. He is waiting for you with His love.

5. R. Dear Holy Spirit, in the Heart of the Virgin Mary, transform us more and more into the image of Jesus so that we may be led to the Father.

6. R. (Rita sees a red haze throughout the Holy Spirit Chapel.)

Jesus: The red haze you see is My blood which I shed throughout My whole Passion. It poured so plentifully. The last drop I shed for you. You hold back the Good News that you have for all. As My blood is red, My love is on fire. I ask you to be My soldiers, to go into this world with hearts filled with My love as your ammunition to spread My love throughout the world.

7. Song: Come Holy Ghost

8. R. God wants us to love one another. If we are good it is because of God's grace and we cooperate with it. Our lives will work in harmony if we constantly try to live in the Father's Will. He asks us to pray to the Spirit to help us to know the Will of the Father for it is living according to the Father's Will that we will find our true happiness and joy. Living in His Will is true joy!

9. R. To His death on the cross, He was in perfect peace because He knew the Father's love and He did always the Father's Will.

10. R. In suffering, there is joy. If we are connected with Jesus in this suffering, if we are living according to the Father's Will, if we know the love of God, there is joy in suffering.

Song between decade: Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts...

  

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven

1. R. Mary went, body and soul, into heaven.

2. Sing: Immaculate Mary

3. R. Heaven is our true home.

4. R. Mary remained on this earth after Jesus left — She was a great intercessor and the Church grew — pray through the intercession of Mary. And we cannot imagine even a minute amount of the treasure that waits for us when we are joined in such intense union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for ever and ever in the courts of Heaven.

5. R. He wants to outpour His grace to us in such abundance. The richest source of grace, unless He chooses to give us a special grace, is in going to the Eucharist. He calls us to come and to be with Him in front of the Tabernacle for He truly outpours His grace to us in such abundance.

6. Jesus: I love each one of you so dearly. This day I call out to you to let go, to release all hatred, anger, any hardness that is in your heart. Make your hearts pure. You cannot unite with My Heart if there is any taint of anger and hatred in your heart. Only love can unite with love. Love does not unite with hate. I ask you this day to rid yourselves, to trade any bitterness or anger that you have in your heart for love. I will abundantly pour out My grace for you to love if you ask Me. Keep your hearts ever pure for your face reflects what is inside. What comes forth from your mouth is what is in your heart. If your hearts are filled with love, your face and your speech will be loving. If there is hatred or anger in your heart, what comes forth from your mouth is what is in your heart. I want to be close to you. You must let go. Let go! Let your hearts be pure! Let your souls be white! I want to unite with you as a spouse with His bride. Let go! Let go! Let go!

7. Jesus: Let go to the marriage of our souls! You should want a pure soul. Get rid of anything that is stopping you from union with Me. The smallest sins offend Me. Admit what you do and say you are sorry. Do not harbor any sins in your hearts. I want to be so close to you and share My life and My love with you. You are My precious ones, come to Me. Let Me love you!

8. Song: I Am the Bread of Life

9. Jesus: Mary is your beloved Mother. She leads you on your journey and loves you dearly. She forever walks by your side. My dear children, your Mother is so close to you. Ask her to lead you ever closer to My Sacred Heart.

10. R. Mary, who held the child Jesus, who raised Him, who walked with Him all through the Passion, who saw His glorified body and saw Him as He ascended into heaven, knows the Heart of Jesus. He loves His Mother so dearly. There is such oneness between His Heart and Her Heart. He calls out to us to come to His Heart, to the tender pure and loving heart of His beloved Mother. He wants us to go to her. He loves her dearly. It is she who will place us ever so gently in the deepest recesses of His Heart.

Song between decade: Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts...

 

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

1. R. There appeared in the sky a woman clothed as the sun, the moon was under her feet and there were 12 stars about her head.

2. R. The new Eve! It is through Mary that we will be formed more and more on our spiritual journey into a deeper union with Jesus.

3. R. Mary is Jesus' Mother. Mary is our Mother. Mary is the Mother of the Church. She will lead us on our spiritual journey as we become closer to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

4. R. It is in modeling ourselves after the Virgin Mary, she whose heart is sinless, that we will be joined closer to God.

5. R. We pray these mysteries of the rosary to know more and more about the lives of Jesus and Mary - from the young Mary to the old Mary - from the joyful Mary to the sorrowful Mary - the life of Mary all through this rosary. She truly lived with Jesus His whole life and she will lead us ever closer to His Most Sacred Heart.

6. Song: Immaculate Mary

7. R. The Two Hearts of tremendous love — Mary and Jesus! The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and Mary's Heart will be triumphant. Her heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance. It is through Their two Hearts that we will grow in our union with God.

8. R. We will, one day, be with God forever in heaven. No more sorrow, no more tears, no more thirsting and longing in our hearts. All of the thirsting that we have will be satisfied.

Song: May the Angels lead you into Paradise

9. R. We need union with Jesus. Jesus wants to join with us in love. The Father created each one of us so uniquely with a special plan. They call out to us this day to spread the love of God into this world, into all the dark corners, to spread this light. Will we answer? Will we realize more and more that Jesus is in this room and that not one person is in this room by accident? You are being called by Jesus and Mary to this room to listen to the messages that were delivered from Them to you today. Jesus says that He will speak to every person that comes into this room during the rosary if they will open up their hearts. These messages were delivered to you from Jesus and Mary. Take them into your hearts and ask the Spirit to lead you more and more. Pray to know the Father's Will — Seek His Will — Do it!! It is in doing His Will that we will have peace, love and joy.

10. Mary: My dear little children, I am your Mother Mary and I am with you at this moment. You are my soldiers to go into this world and to spread the love of my Son. Will you say 'No' to your Mother? Please, please answer my call this day. Make your hearts pure. For it is only in a pure heart that you will be able to spread the love of my Son to this world.

R. Think of Mary and see through her eyes as she stands under the cross of her beloved Son and sees Him hang for three agonizing hours to His death! See through Mary's eyes the love that He has for each one of us. She wants you to know that she is calling out to each person in this room. It is not an accident that you are in this room. (Mary is showing Rita her sorrowful and old face which then changes to her joyful, young face.) She wants you to know of the sorrow that is in her heart for all the souls that have rejected her Son. It is only in a total commitment to her to draw yourselves ever closer to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, that the love of God will be spread throughout this world. The mysteries of the rosary are the mysteries of her life and Jesus' life, from her young life to her old life.

 

This rosary was prayed in the Holy Spirit Chapel before Jesus in the Tabernacle and before the statue of Our Mother of Sorrows who was in the Chapel. Rita, Cathy, Joe, Gerald and Donna Schlautman, the gentleman who donated the statue of Our Mother of Sorrows to the Center and two people who were with him, and Marty were present for the rosary.

This day, March 5, 1995, was the eighth anniversary of the 5ths of Rita praying the rosary at the Holy Spirit Center. She began at Mary's request on July 5, 1994. Mary appeared to Rita much the same as she did on that day in July. She was pumpkin colored in her face. She changed between her young, joyful face to her old, sorrowful face. She pulsated in light and when joyful, glistened gloriously in white. Mary appeared in the statue during the third mystery. There was a red haze surrounding the Chapel which Jesus described as His blood shed during His Passion.

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

1. Song: Come unto Me all who are weary

2. Jesus: Come unto Me and pray with Me the mysteries of this rosary, the lives of Jesus and Mary. Come and meditate on the joys of these two lives.

3. R. And a light came into the room and the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the Mother of Jesus.

4. R. Mary was filled with fear and confusion and she asked: how can this be?

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

6. R. And she was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word became flesh.

7. 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.

8. R. Mary was faced with ridicule.

9. R. But as she was ridiculed, her heart knew that deep within her womb she carried the presence of the Almighty God. Thorns and roses!

10. R. She was filled with such excitement. The child Jesus was inside her womb!

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave Maria

  

The Visitation

1. R. Mary made haste to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth who had conceived of a child in her old age. Mary knew this because the angel had told her that her cousin Elizabeth was with child.

Luke 1: 39-41

Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb...

2. R. When she arrived at Elizabeth's house, Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out:

Luke 1: 42-45

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.’

3. R. The child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the sight of Mary and Jesus in Mary's womb.

4.  R. John the Baptist was carried by Elizabeth — He was to prepare the way of the Lord. Even in the womb of his mother, he was filled with such joy that he jumped with joy.

5. R. Usually the servant goes to the Master, but in this case, it was the immense love of Jesus that He came in His mother's womb to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Jesus comes to us. He is God! He came into this world as a helpless little baby. With greatest love for us, He remains with us this day in the Tabernacles in the world. God waits for us! He is God and He waits and longs for us to come and be with Him!

6. 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.

7. Luke 1: 46-47

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;

8. R. Prepare ye the way! The Lord is coming and He is calling us to be soldiers and go out into the world and spread the Good News that Jesus has died, He is risen. As John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lord, He calls out to us this day.

9. R. Jesus came in Mary's womb — now Jesus is in the Tabernacle this day.

10. Song: O Holy Dwelling Place of God

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave Maria

  

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. Jesus loved us so much that He was born a little helpless baby in the town of Bethlehem. Think of how a baby is, so tiny, so helpless. He came to show us the way. He came as a little baby. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Mary's baby. He did not come with trumpets and roll of drums, but He came quietly, born in a stable because there was no room for Him in the Inn. A little baby, a child, conceived in Mary's womb.

2. R. How Mary loves us to meditate on this beautiful mystery. Jesus truly came into this world as a child, as our Savior. He bridges the gap between Divinity and humanity. He is a Divine Person with two natures: a human nature and a Divine nature. With greatest love for us, God became man. Jesus is the Son of God!

3. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

4. R. Jesus did not come in splendor showing His Might and Power but He came in humility and love to show us the way. He wants us to surrender, to rid our hearts of any debris and unforgiveness, to live our lives as the Father wills us to live, to unite our hearts with Him.

5. R. He came as a baby born in a stable. He died on the cross.

6. R. We are to model ourselves more and more after the lives of Jesus and Mary.

8. R. Who are we that God loves us so much that He allows us to share in His life in baptism.

9. Jesus: I am Jesus, the Son of God. I come to you. I tell you of My immense love, over and over and over again and you run and you get weary. You must come to Me and realize that I am present. It is in letting go that you will be strengthened, you will fly on eagle's wings when you release all your cares to Me. Do not think of your weariness. Let go to Me. Feel Me outpouring My strength, revitalizing you. As you let go, you let Me permeate your being. I fill you with immense vibrancy. I call out to you for you are truly chosen by Me for this work. I need you to do the work I have given to you. You must release yourselves and feel vibrancy inside of you — My life that I impart to you at this moment. I fill you with vibrancy in your soul. You have strength, I dwell in the graced, baptized soul — I live in you.

10. Jesus: My love is vibrant. My love is not inactive. Focus on Me for satan surely wants to trip you up in your thoughts. Release yourself! Let go. Know the Father's love.

Sing: Little Child

Jesus: You are totally dependent upon God for your every breath and your every heartbeat. This work is so important. Do not underestimate what I have planned for you. It can only be accomplished through surrendering. You must run and not grow weary for I will raise you up on eagle's wings. You will feel the lifting as you are lifted by My might, it is My Power and My Might. Feel the vibrancy within your body. Let go! Let go and be lifted up by the Holy Spirit.

Song: Come unto Me, all who are weary

Song: Eagles Wings

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave Maria

    

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. R. When Jesus was twelve years old, He was taken up to the Temple for the feast of the Passover.

2. R. In baptism we receive a sharing in His life. We are made children of God and heirs of heaven. We are His special chosen ones that He calls to go out into this world. Let us let go and let Him operate in our being to do the work He has planned for us.

3. Luke 2: 41-50  

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.

As Jesus and Mary Appeared

Jesus: Do this for the sake of souls, I died for — I am calling you - to endure the sufferings you cannot change and to help others in love — love, love, love - I beckon you. The world is sinful — Souls are at stake — many will be condemned to eternal damnation. You must busy yourself about this work for souls, many souls will be lost. Listen now — I call you — I give you this message —

Song: Come Unto Me all who are Weary

Jesus: See the poor, the hungry, the homeless. See the old — they wait — they need these messages, the Nursing Home Ministry. They are starving for My love, people are starving, give them My messages of love — I beg you. They were created for My love, My chosen ones answer Me. Look at the world, I talk to you. I love you so much. Will you answer My call? I call, My Mother calls you, now. Who will I call if you do not answer. I call you today — I let you experience sorrow in your hearts to know how I suffered for souls that would be lost. Give them My letters, give them the rosary messages I give here — tell the world My love. I beg you to spread these rosaries throughout the world. It is through the rosary you will fight satan. The rosary is My weapon against satan, The Mass — I give you these weapons to fight satan — Live in the Father's will — Many have lost their way — I am the Teacher. I ask you to spread My love letters to My beloved children so that they will know the love of Our Hearts — So they will come home to our Hearts — Mary is leading her children to you. You must speak in love.

You need to circulate these letters. You need to pray the rosary. This is My call to you to go to the nursing homes so that old people's hearts will not wander, but will think and focus on God and pray for this world. You I send into this world, for I will send those to you. You must come to Me for strength, for it is through Me that you will be strengthened. The weariness is from satan, the strength is from Me. The wisdom comes from the Divine God. You must come to Me, be dependent upon Me as a child dependent upon their father. You must go to the Father and be ever closer to Him. You are My chosen ones. I call to you this day. You, I will lead into this world to spread the love of My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

R. And they heard His plea and went into this world with hearts that were filled with strength and they flew on eagle's wings. The power that powered them, was the power of the Almighty God. As they became one in Him, He operated through them to a world that was full of sin and pain. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. For He gives us the Church, Himself in the Eucharist.

Jesus: I call you My chosen ones live in Me.

Song: Come Unto Me all who are Weary

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Love is Unity with Jesus

                R. Open my eyes Lord —
                Help me to see Your face in my brothers

Sing: Give Me Your Heart oh Jesus - Give me your Heart

                R. Love is forever joining — love is Unity —
                love never ever separates those in love with God

                The devil said "I will not serve"
                Hold back — disharmonious — disobey God's will
                The devil wants to get us in a word game
                of explaining to try to control - hold back —

                God created an orderly, harmonious world —
                To be loving doing His will in all I have to do,
                it unites, it bonds, it draws all together in His love.

                Each soul should realize its true potential
                allowing God to operate within them.
                God gives us talents that we have been given to serve God —

                God wants peace, love, harmony
                using our talents to do God's work —

                This takes knowing His love —
                second by second, minute by minute
                this takes selflessness

                A person acting because of sinful jealousy
                is basing their actions on their sin —
                They hurt themselves and
                drive themselves from union with God —

                The more I die to self, live in humility
                dependent on Him for my every need,
                realizing His constancy with me,
                I will be one in Him.
 

                Sunday Mass 9:00 Fr. Carter

                    Such union — do not want to move
                overwhelmed by the presence of God.
                Who are we that He comes to us in such intense union.
                I am so unworthy to receive Him in communion —

                How much Jesus and the Father and Mary can
                    do in 5 minutes alone with Him.

                Such peace

                Saw Jesus stripped. He turned
                    around holding a lamb so gently.

                The Father was above, His arms were outstretched —
                    I saw the Father from the waist up.

                Last night I saw Mary. It was the 8th month anniversary —
                    red haze over chapel. She had the most sorrowful face,
                    old, looked cracked, went to the young face.
                Light - could not even describe, a supernatural light.
                What an experience, beyond all comprehension.
 

GLORIOUS
 

Luke 24: 5-6

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

   

R. See Jesus' gentle face look at you, sparkling in
    a gown

He has not gone, He is here this day, minute by
    minute second by second.

See Jesus' face, His gentle looking eyes.

Peace, Peace, Peace a face of peace

Mary Magdalene heard His voice — He called her by name

He is not Dead

                How many times we do not recognize Jesus, we
                    do not see Him in others, see Him
                    in our world, see Him in the
                    hungry, the sick, the old

                Jesus is the Son of God, He is a Divine Person — I must
                    seek the Divine Lord. Open my eyes.

                Jesus is with us today and we fail to see the Risen Lord
                    alive and in our midst —
                    He is alive

 

Luke 24: 27-32

Then, starting with Moses and going through all the prophets, he explained to them the passages throughout the scriptures that were about himself. 

    When they drew near to the village to which they were going, he made as if to go on; but they pressed him to stay with them saying, ‘It is nearly evening, and the day is almost over.’ So he went in to stay with them. Now while he was with them at table, he took the bread and said the blessing; then he broke it and handed it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but he had vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, 'Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?'

                 

                Jesus: The Kingdom of God is at hand, open your hearts and
                let Me live in you, for I give you My
                very own flesh and blood. What is in
                the troubled heart is fear.

                R. Jesus quiets the troubled heart. Jesus rose triumphant and
                He wants us to see Him in our brothers —
                To Love our brothers — to be holy

 

John 20: 26-27

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

  

R. Do we have to examine His side and His
    hands before we believe?
He calls us to trust, to have faith and surrender,
    We want that which is secure.

They could not catch anything and Jesus appeared
    and told them to fish. Then Jesus helped them
    and their nets were breaking.

 

 

R. He can do in a second, what we
    are unable to do — we must let go
    and let Him help us fish for souls —
    Trust Jesus and Love —

He asks us to be fishers among men. He supplies
    the people, we plant the seeds.

He does the work in their hearts with His
    grace
    We must be holy and forgive and love —

The devil wants us to be unloving
Fr. Carter says this is sin —
    rebellion against God's law of love —

The Power is in God —
The Power is in the Eucharist

Song: Take and Eat

R. Jesus wants to share Himself intimately with us.
Jesus says: "I give you Myself."

Unity in the Eucharist, to be one with Jesus and others —
God wants unity — harmony — order — obedience

When we pray before the tabernacle we are
    praying in the Presence of Jesus truly present in the consecrated host —
    He is there, we become more deeply united to Him.

The Eucharist unites
    Eating together unites —
    Jesus showed us this —

Jesus died on the cross and gave His all

Now He shares His life with us in the Eucharist —

Jesus was giving them food — Miracles of the loaves and fish —

Share in the life of the Risen Lord.

Lord I want to believe, Help my doubt,
    my unbelief.

 

Luke 24: 52-53

They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.

 

R. Jesus' Ascension is not the end of the story
    it is a new beginning for us.

We must continue to build up the Kingdom
    and continue to see Him in our brothers —

My whole life is a journey to grow in greater
    faith, hope and love - not give into the deadly
    sins of pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth.

God Help me to see with Your vision —
God Help me to serve You in love —

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.

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
